Steps for getting back to 2.1?

Return your DroidX to stock unrooted 2.1:
This reverts you to a CLEAN UNROOTED STOCK Phone.
Linux Instructions:
Download sbf_flash
Unzip the SBF
Put your Droid X into bootloader (turn phone off and hold volume down and the camera button while pressing the power button)
Connect your USB
Open a terminal window.
Run "cd Downloads"
Run "chmod +x sbf_flash"
Run "sudo ./sbf_flash VRZ_MB810_1.13.6.2_1FF_01.sbf"
Wait and finish!
Note: after the flash will need to boot into recovery (hold volume down and the home button) and wipe data and cache.
Windows Instructions:
Download RSD Lite (credit to MyDroidWorld)
Install the RSDLite 4.7 program by double clicking on the program.
Move the pst_flash.ini file into the following folder --> Program Files/Motorola/RSDLite
Install the drivers that apply to your Operating System.
Unzip the SBF into a folder.
Open RSD Lite and find the UNZIPPED SBF
Put your Motorola Droid X into bootloader. (turn phone off and hold volume down and the camera button while pressing the power button)
Click start and sit back.
Note: after the flash will need to boot into recovery (hold volume down and the home button) and wipe data and cache.
I can't find the SFB it keeps getting taken down wherever i look. So please post if you have a working link

I see it scatter all over the place with different methods but as Motorola has said 2.2 leakers won't get official OTA updates, so whats the really good way for us to get back to stock?

Right now the only way I believe is to flash the .sbf file via rsdlite. DL RSDlite and the .sbf file and connect the phone via USB. The phone iwll be recognized in the program and then you can flash the file back to stock. Done.

The problem is, the required sbf_flash file cannot be found. There is one link that everything seems to point to and that leads to a fake link. Anyone know how to get it?

If anyone does have the working link please feel free to send me a PM or email me at my gmail (chris.hammer), and I'd be happy to setup a working mirror of it without all that "you must wait XXX seconds" or pages riddled with ads crap.
I have a dedicated colo machine sitting on 100mbit connection to the net which should be more than enough to handle the demand for this.

I have the SBF, I can post it on Dropbox, put a warning up on the main post for people that have "bricked" due to the 2.2 OTA. If they try this method they'll really brick their phones.

This should work on 2.1 phones that faild to update to 2.2. Let me know where I can get it. I am bricked without it.

???? SBFing bricks your phone? I'm confused. This thread seriously lacks links. If you guys are talking about getting something, or referring to another thread, it'd be nice to know what.
My question: Is it safe to SBF to 2.1 from the first FroYo leak?

SBF will only brick if you got the Verizon official OTA update.

That's rough. Do you know the cause?

I mirrored a copy of the file on my site as well in case it gets taken down from the other site.

Mirror #2
Note: To anyone reading this around 10:20 PM Mountain Time, I am currently uploading it so if it 404's it's just not fully uploaded.

As a last resort, I'm actually using this file now lol. Currently at 28% on the flashing. Hopefully I can get to 2.2 after this. ;\
Update:
Works fine now. Seems Verizon decided to do maintenance this morning which is why the phone couldn't activate. Had me worried, but activated within 20 seconds this morning after I woke up on the first attempt.

[Q] Advice for SBF restore.

Hey guys, I have done a ton of reading and researching about modding android phones since recently migrating from iPhones. I got a Droid1 and did some basic root/rom/overclock etc.
I just got a DX a few days ago and right away decided to start with the modding. Anyways, In a nutshell I attempted to go about the ROMing process in a similar manner to my Droid1 and ended up going to the Rubix1.6 ROM without ever backing up my stock OS.
I wanted to be able to jump back and forth to a blurless/blurred ROM to get a good feel for what I want outta it but am not sure how I should go about getting the stock OS stuff back on. I've read up about the SBF, but is that the only way to go?
Thanx for any help guys, greatly appreciated.

Sadly, yes. Since you didn't back up before you started you will have to SBF to get a stock ROM. Be sure to make a nandroid of your modded ROM, SBF, root, backup, then flash back and forth.

Now as far as a Nandroid backup you mean just a backup through clockwork recovery correct?

yea. a nandroid backup is the backup you create in cw recovery

Ok So I did it and restored nicely after doing a wipe after.. Now I can't ACTIVATE my phone. Any ideas why it would mess with the activation. When I hit activate and then 1 it just says to enter the number.. SHIIT

the activation system has been down for a few hours now. You can try *22899. Or do it online here http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/activate. Or just call the 1800 number and do it with a csr.

Ok, I'm hoping it is just a bad coincidence that the activation server is down. I'll pack it up and try again in the morning. If that's what it is then I am all set otherwise. Thanx!

of course it's just a coincidence. flashing a rom or doing an sbf to your phone does not cause the verizon activation system to crash. lol. whenever you sbf your phone or do a factory reset, you have to do the *228 to reactivate. thats normal.

Just some info... when I wipe out my phone and boot it up (skipping) activation it works already. Found this out by wiping my phone, booting it up, and I got a text message immediately. Lol.

Just consider your SBF your 2.3.15 backup copy. It's not a pain. It's easy and it should be a tool in every modder's arsenal. IMO, people who don't know how to sbf, are destined to have to anyway, eventually, if they mod enough. The only thing is that when they have to, they won't know how and will kinda panic. I say be ready to sbf before you root, so you're ready when trouble comes.
Me? I love modifications and will sometimes go too far or make a mistake at 2 am, when I really should be sleeping instead and I wind up bricked. No problem. Just SBF and I'm on my way. If you need further info or how to's feel free to ask.

Here's what I used to guide me through the sbf...
Here is a link to the guide I used. It is for the 2.1 SBF though.
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/09/21/droid-x-stock-android/
Here are the instructions with my modifications for 2.2...
IMPORTANT!!! - the directions are for restoring 2.1 so you do not do some of the steps! They were the best I could find. I followed them except for things that did not apply.
instructions:
1. First off, choose the right version of Motorola USB drivers for your computer and install them (32bit) (64bit)
2. Download & install RSD Lite 4.7 (download)
I did not use 4.7 as it is not current. I used 4.9
You will need to patch this after installing. There is an .ini file included in the folder that needs to be placed in your install directory. /Program Files/Motorola/RSD Lite
I used 4.9 and did not have to patch any files- the above step was unnecessary.
3. Download the Droid X Android 2.1 SBF file, which you can find here
of course I used the 2.2 SBF file here...
http://rootzwiki.com/
4. Unzip the SBF file to your desktop
i did not unzip mine to the desktop- i put it where i stash my android files- it made no difference.
5. Run RSD Lite, and click the “…” button, then find the SBF file that you just unzipped to your desktop and select it.
Starting here i followed the directions to the "t". Went through all the steps. !!!!!MAKE SURE YOU START WITH 100% BATTERY!!!!!! It takes a long time and if your phone dies during the process it is a nightmare.
6. Plug your Droid X into your computer and power it down
Go into the Bootloader (with phone off, hold the CAMERA button and VOLUME DOWN, then hit the POWER button)
After holding for 2-3 seconds, release the buttons and RSD Lite should recognize your Droid X
7. Click the start button to flash Android 2.1 to your phone.
of course we are flashing 2.2
8. When the flashing is complete, unplug your phone
The Droid X will likely not boot up all the way, so pull the battery out
Put the battery back into the phone and reboot into Recovery mode ( Hold the HOME button and press POWER until you get an exclamation mark. Release the HOME button and press the SEARCH button)
Using the VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons, navigate to “wipe data/ factory reset” option on the screen, and press the CAMERA button halfway down to execute.
When complete, choose to reboot your phone
9. It takes a while. Hope this helps. And I hope it goes smoothly. It was nerve racking for me. After you have finished the process you will not be rooted. Use the market app "Z4root" or which ever method you prefer.
good luck.

i really appreaciate the guide and quick response im going to try to save these for future refrence.

just tried this method for the experience on the droid i bricked. worked like a charm was a bit easier too. phone rebooted on its own. i wiped just to make sure since i need to send it back to vz i already got my replacement. but this definetly gives me a little more confidence knowing i can bring it back from the dead if i have to. thanks again.

C. UnBRICKING INSTRUCTIONS:
HELP ME. Ima noob! I BRICKED MY PHONE!
1. go to Home and DL the leaked full OTA FROYO 2.2 .SBF file.
2. Download and install RSDLite v4.8 (it should be on Home if not, go Google it.)
3. If your phone is stuck on the load screen, pull the battery, wait a minute, push the battery back in and restart with the phone’s Boot Loader Mode (do this by pressing the red camera button + volume down + power button  hold all of them in the order that I stated until your phone flashes briefly). Your phone should flash white and a Boot Loader menu will come up. Make sure there is at least 20 to 25 percent battery life remaining in order for the reformat of you phone to complete. If your phone dies in the middle of this process GOD HELP YOU.
4. Run the RSDLite File and connect your Droid X to your computer via USB.
5. Browse for the .SBF file you downloaded in step 1 and click “Start”, at which point the program should run and your phone will proceed to unbrick
6. EASY RIGHT?
7. Once unbricking you will have to go through reactivation of your phone. This is normal so just go through the steps you did when you first started.
8. GUESS WHAT? You made a backup of your previous customizations REMEMBER? If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of re-downloading your entire life onto your phone again follow the “ROOTING” instructions in Part A and redownload Bootstrap and reboot into recovery mode to RESTORE the backup you made by following steps 2-11 in Part B….except you won’t be going to “install from sdcard” you will going to “Backup and Restore” and “Restore from sdcard”.

HELP Please - Error running SBF in RSD Lite
First off, I'm a newbie, so please go easy on me if these are dumb questions. I get the following error while trying to run "VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf" in RSD Lite 4.7 while in boot mode. I don't know what else to do. My phone won't work. Thank you for any advice you can give.
Failed flashing process. [Phone 0000]: Phone is not compatabile with multi-interlace interface super-file. (0x703B): Phone connected.

did you put the patched pst_flash.ini file in the rsdlite install directory?

I put that file in program files>motorola>rsd lite. I did it after installing the program if that matters. The zip file folder name was RSD Lite 4.7+Patch. Also, in RSD Lite in order for the program to recognize my droid x i had to select the "first come first serve device id mode" under the device id options in the config menu. Don't know if this matters, just trying to give as much info as possible. Thanks.

yea, you can only do it after installing the program. it has to be closed though when you do it and you have to overwrite existing file. if you did all that properly, then it may be a corrupted sbf. I would just install rsdlite 4.8 or 4.9 and retry. those dont require a patch.. if no workie, then redownload sbf.
rsd lite 4.8 is here http://www.multiupload.com/HL0ZAL9GK8

I can't remember the order I did it in so I'll re-install with the instructions you gave. Thank you! I'll report back.

[Q] Update to 2.3.340 fails after reboot

I got a DX a few months ago, rooted it, etc. About a month ago I decided to go ahead deodex it. Installed CWM and did a backup first, then deodexed. During the process the instructions said to copy the guava.odx file out of the modded fileset, so I did. Everything seemed to work OK, rebooted, been fine since.
Early this week I got the update notice for 2.3.340, so I restored the CWM backup, downloaded the update, and tried to install. The phone rebooted and began installing the update. A few seconds into the install I see what looks like a yellow triangle around the progress bar, and it bails out. Once it finishes rebooting I get a message that the update failed.
I haven't removed any bloatware apps, so I don't think it's that. I suspect it's either 1) that I'm rooted, althoughs others here have updated while rooted; or 2) that guava.odx is missing and I'm not sure where to put it back.
Any ideas on my next step? Grab the 2.2 SBF and start over?
THanks.

Um - sorry. I did read the post wrong.
I am rooted and was able to install. So I don't think that is it. After you rooted - but before you made your back up - did you mess with any system files or remove any bloat ware? You need to have all of that stuff to successfully install the OTA.

I don't remember messing around with anything. I had originally thought I'd remove the bloatware, but ended up not doing that.
Where would I find the stock 2.2 SBF? I can restore that, then update and re-install all of my apps, etc. Can someone also provide the instructions on how to install the 2.2 SBF?
Thanks.

Head over to mydroidworld.com and check out their thread on the update. You can flash it via cw recovery along with the baseband, bootloader, etc.

A full SBF (2.3.320) via RSD cures all then start all over ***MAKE BACK UPS !!!** Then do 2.3.340 via phone.
If you want to really do it right copy your SD to you PC format the SD with your phone and only add back to the SD files you need and know that way you get rid of any old data files that may haunt your phone.

So I hit MyDroidWorld and found the 2.2 SBF thread. Downloaded the file along with the RSD Lite version. Update the Moto USB drivers to the latest 4.8 drivers, and installed RSD Lite. Plugged my X in, making sure it was set for PC mode and Debugging - but it doesn't show up in RSD Lite. What now? Or did I manage to overlook a crucial step?
Thanks.

Found that I had to put the phone into 'bootloader' mode. Did so, and the phone now shows up in RSD Lite. I can select the .SBF file, but the 'Start' button remains grayed out.
<sigh>
It shouldn't be this difficult, should it?
Do I have the wrong .SBF file? The bootloader shows 30.03, so I think that's the correct one for the 2.2 SBF....
Thanks.

Found an approach to flashing the 2.1 SBF here - http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html
This seemed to work (RDS List showed 'Passed' as the final status), but when I go to reboot it is giving me an error. Here's what's on my screen -
Bootloader
30.03
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
Help! What do I need to do next?

Apparently needed the 2.2 SBF. Flashed it and the phone has re-booted successfully. Whew. What a pain in the a.....!
Thanks.
PS - RSD Lite has a status of 'Please manually power up this phone.', progress is 'Executed; 100%', Result is 'In Process...'. THe phone is powered up, although I do have this odd little blue triangle in the status bar next to the signal strength. If I click 'Close' in RSD Lite I get a message "Application is currently busy. Closing application may DAMAGE the attached device.". Needless to say I'm a little unsure about this. Is it OK to unplug the USB cable and close RSD Lite?
PPS - OK, needed to *228 it. Still not sure about close RSD Lite though...
PPPS - Success! Went ahead and unplugged the USB cable, then closed RSD Lite. Did the 2.3.340 OTA, rebooted, and everything appears to be OK. Need to get my root access back, but that shouldn't be too bad.

[Q] Back to Stock Pro

Hey guys I'm new to the site and have some knowledge regarding Android and a little about the rooting process however I am still not officially rooted.
I just brought a Motorola Droid Pro off eBay and it came with Clockwork mod Recovery I really want to get rid of it because every time I re-boot the phone it pops up. I think that means that my pro is rooted and I have used it to wipe the phone and wipe the cache hoping to also get rid of the recovery however it is still there. Is there a way to get rid of it and go back to actual stock android with the new pro update that was released a couple months ago? Thanks so much I don't really know where else to go with these questions and hoping to illicit some kind of response from this site. Thanks so much.

1. Locate the thread with the SBF files "bricked your droid pro, SBF files" or something like that.
2. Download the SBF file for the droid pro. MAKE SURE ITS THE DROID PRO SBF.
3. Aquire RSD lite, it may be in that thread as well, otherwise find it on the internet
4. Using RSD lite, write the SBF file to the phone.
That'll set it back to factory spec, including unroot and bootloader... it'll be a few software updates back, so just manually set it to look for updates.

Thanksfor the quick reply I saw something like this somewhere while googling... I'm assuming RSD lit is pretty easy to navigate then I'm just using it to write the SBF file (I'm assuming SBF is like original factory update file) onto the SD card? Will doing this also rid of Clockwork mod recovery? Thanks again dude.

SBF is basically a image of the phone's software. Someone pulls it off a factory fresh phone and distributes it (or, it gets pirated direct from the source)
You're not writing it to the card, you're writing it to the phone.
When you open RSD Lite, you should see the phone connected. Also, theres a button that says "..." Click that button, choose the sbf file, and hit start... wait for it to finish, then after it resets the phone and says "please manually restart the phone" you can unplug and end the program.
This will reset the phone to just like it came off the factory floor. Stock recovery, OS, bootloader, etc.

Thanks dude figured it out yesterday was a little scared but did it thanks so much again.

[Q] Wont boot after latest update

Hi,
Spent some time looking around the forums, but I wanted to make sure before I returned the phone for repair.
Basically I had the phone rooted to copy across a couple of library files and so than I can use nVidias Perfhud ES. The device worked perfectly, I also applied the previous update with no problems.
Today, after getting tired of receiving the update nag every few minutes I decided to update to latest firmware (4.5.91 I think). It downloaded the file, restarted, the progress bar run across and restarted again and that's where it stopped at the Moto boot logo.
After 20 minutes I decided to take the battery out and restart, same thing. I looked at the help section of Motorola's website and found the hard reset option. Booted into android recovery mode (the method for 2.2 didn't work, but 2.3 did the job - so I am guessing the boot image 2.3 installed correctly), did a wipe and restarted, again no luck.
Second try, downloaded the update file manually copied to a sd card and through recovery set to update, according to the log all was alright, but it still doesnt get past the motorola boot screen.
Anyone had this before, do I have any options here? I already contacted Motorola they said that I can send it for repair but I am situated in UK and phone was bought through a US retailer (AT&T Atrix) so they need a US address, which makes it kinda complicated. Any help/info will be much appreciated, thanks!

You can easy RSDlite the 2.3.4/4.5.91 service SBF I will look for the link and I will post it

Excellent thanks! I will try this tomorrow - device is at work, just to make sure, this will wipe all data and install latest firmware right?
My take on this is (after looking at the zip of the update and finding those same files I copied across a while ago in there) that for some reason it failed to copy the new ones on top of the old and is trying to call non-existing code.. Hope that method you posted works!

thats a service sbf so in data get preserve...
I think what it was wring with your OTA was that some of the files on you phone are already mod or replaced with something, so when try to do the ota a do the file checksum on each file then return with different code, so the upgrade stop automatic and get stuck in something, in that case you need to flash a SBF
NOTE: that once you are in the new 2.3.4/4.5.91 please NEVER try to downgrade with lower sbf in this case 1.83/1.57/1.26 etc....

Yes, I do remember reading something about not trying to downgrade from latest. You have been really helpful and fast to reply so thanks again!

Seems to be a big problem.

Restore finished with any problems, everything is good! Thanks for your time, I owe you a beer!
