I have yet to see a 2.2 SBF released into the wild yet. anyone seen it?
There is a system only sbf that is for OTA2.2 have heard a few people that had good luck with it. Rootzwiki has all the info on it

woah.. what is this .. $BF you speak of??
its a unicorn of the intertubes.
System only SBF didn't work it would appear to be using the old bootloader and only the full one uses the new bootloader.
I have used the 2.2 SBF that TBH released and I can say it does work. Keep in mind that its only a System SBF and wont fix all your problems.
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-mods/4818-tbh-announces-froyo-system-sbf-rsdlite-4-8-a.html
I am not clear on what would be expected after flashing a system sbf instead of a full. Also, I have been seeing some comments advising people to go to the rooted deodexed OTA version from 2.3.9 or 2.3.13. What would be the benefit with the currently locked bootloader and no full sbf?
I tried to install Tranquility but was not deodexed and they said it would be fine, but it was not. I then tried a reset which went to 2.1 instead of 2.2 and bricked the phone. I'm told that the full SBF would fix that issue since it works off of a new bootloader.
I did the same thing I've been looking everywhere for information on a full 2.2 sbf, but I can't find anything. I'd just like to know an eta, but I know with leaks we usually can't ever be certain. I guess my phone's bricked for the long haul.
I want to get off 2.3.13 and go to back to OTA updates, Ive tried searching and finally gave up........I want to download a SBF to get me back to stock so i can get the latest version. I believe my phone was on 2.2 OTA, bootloader version is 30.03.
I have RSD 4.8, Im rooted, have root explorer.
Long story short I deleted some factory .apk's and I flashed this SBF (2.3.13) to update OTA......not realizing it wouldnt fix my problem. Learned my lesson and to turn them to .bak's next time.
please help!
If it's some bloatware you can always get it back on the moto page

I have all the bloatware on and working.......i think that 2.3.13 is one of the leaked versions and it wont allow me to OTA update......it doesnt even show me an update is available now with the 2.3.13 build
If you're on the froyo leak, you need to flash back to 2.1, then take the OTA updates
If you are on boot loader 30.03, then you need to flash the sbf 2.3.15
oops, didn't see the bootloader was posted, my mistake, 2.3.15 is the correct sbf
I thought there was some bootloader problem thats why i put the info in the post.
Thank you guys, can someone PM me some info on where to find the SBF for 2.3.15.........Ive had no luck googling it.
now officially bricked the phone trying to fix this.
Im in need of some serious help here. I can still flash SBFs but it says mem-map blank service req'd. I downloaded the SBF from
from phoxus gift 2
I have no idea what to do now

Yes, if you are at the screen you see, you can sbf (system boot file)to factory original software.
There are is a Windows way and an Ubuntu way to sbf. I prefer the Ubuntu way personally, and I have never used any Linux b4 that.
Search these forums 'SBF Droid X'
I have also found some independant electronic stores willing to do the process.

i have droid x on ntelos i rooted but didnt change bootstrap flashed a rom and ofcourse bootlooped so i flashed sbf VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf and now it comes up as verizon any ideas how to get back to ntelos..i have searched xda droidlife google and i cant find any kind of answer..the phone was purchased thru ntleos
Personally, I have royally screwed up my Droid X in the past. At one point, RSD Lite could not bring my phone back to life. However, Ubuntu saved my buttocks. Highly recommend using Ubuntu if you need to SBF your phone. Just speaking from experience.

Hi everyone,
Please bear with me here but here is the full error I get when I tried to SBF back to 2.3.20 using RSD Lite 4.8 and the SBF file name is 955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf

I have tried multiple RSD versions, 4.7+patch, 4.8, 5.4, 5.6 and have had no luck getting past this message at all. I am out of places to look for help, any kind of insight would be wonderful! I was running stock GB trying to go back to Froyo prior to going to CM7.
I have read the forum post close to mine but it has the D2.35 BL and I can't seem to find any other info other than "wait till SBF is found" and with Droid2 not being sold/supported much I don't see much hope in this.
What can be done to fix?
I have tried:
1FF-p2a_droid2_cdma_droid2-user-2.3.3-4.5.1_57_DR2-31-110719-release-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf

VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf
I Have not tried by using the .iso Linux sbf'ing method yet

wont work only new 2.3.4 sbf file
Help! After a rollback to the stock firmware 2.2 through 2.3.4 RDS Lite, Motorola Droid 2 has stopped working, but you can bootloader on, it gives error:
Bootloader
D2.37
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd

You're going to have to wait until the 2.3.4 sbf files leak. I'm in the same boat as you and it's just a waiting game if it ever even gets released.
D2.37
hondateg91 is correct. Sounds like you took the new .621 Gingerbread 2.3.4 update and, like the rest of us, turned your phone into a paperweight by trying to downgrade. It really is a bummer, and a shame on Motorola's behalf. But don't think you're alone. All we can do at this point is hope and pray that 2.3.4 SFB is released, or someone comes up with a way to load an earlier bootloader that will allow SBF'ing the earlier firmwares.
need help to configure my Droid 2 overall by Verizon in French.
hello, I live in France, I bought a motorola Droid 2 Global by Verizon, the phone works properly, the problem is that it is set in English. and I do not know too much about English, I speak French and I'd set the phone in French, please can you help me? it is very important for me to set the phone in French. Thank you in advance for your help.
Droid 2 Fracais
jamesdmx - This thread is about bricked Droid2's (Not Droid2 Global) as a result of trying to "SBF" 2.3.4 Droid2's to an earlier firmware version. In the future, you should create a new thread, in the correct Sub-Forum, as your message is much more likely to gain attention this way, and you are for sure to get better results.
But since I'm such a nice guy, here's what you would do to change the language:
Click the menu button (the bottom right grey square that has an arrow on it)
Go to Settings. It looks like a grey circle gear.
Go to Language and Keyboard. This is 12th option from top and has an "A" icon beside it.
Go to Select Locale. It is the first option.
Unfortunately the Droid2 (at least the one I have) only gives me English and Spanish as language options. Maybe your Droid2 Global will give you the French option.
If it does not, unfortunately at this point, my suggestion would be to look into a custom ROM that has French loaded into it.
My next suggestion would be to start a new thread about this, in the right Sub-Thread "Droid 2 Global General" (URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=903). Be sure to include what version ROM is in your phone, etc, so that the Droid2 Global people can better help you.
Whatever you do, though, don't do like me and cook a Droid2 because you didn't do your research before throwing files at your phone.
D2.37 Bootloader
And while I am on this thread, I will throw some ideas out to you guys. Who knows, maybe together we can figure out the "missing pieces" to restoring our phones without the 2.3.4 firmware.
Somewhere in my search, I was able to obtain the D2.35 bootloader in SBF Format. It flashed successfully to my phone.
The good news is, my bricked Droid2 is at D2.35 bootloader. The bad news, however, is that it still will not take the stock or 2.3.3 Gingerbread firmware.
Also, while goofing around, I discovered that the bootloader D2.37 was actually sent down as part of the Gingerbread 2.3.3 update, as the Droid2 I picked up yesterday has 2.3.3 and D2.37 as the bootloader. Since 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, theoretically, share the same bootloader, I don't know why it would refuse to accept the 2.3.3 firmware.
I think there's an "extra piece" of code that has been sent down in 2.3.4 that is superseding the bootloader from proper behavior. Then again, I don't know! But when you add all the facts together, I'm a complete Droid Noob, and I'm sure everything I have posted is stuff all of you are probably already aware of.
With this information in mind, such as successfully rolling the bootloader back to D2.35, maybe there is an "older" bootloader that can be SBF'd to the phone that will allow SBF Flash restriction to be unshackled. I don't know if there is older code than D2.35 out there, as I did not spend the time looking.
PS---The "attachment"?? Just for the LULZ. And yes, it was pretty cool! And I can't wait to do this to my "bricked" Droid2!
I know how to solve, most do not know much about software to achieve

Guys look in the development section, the 2.3.4 sbf is out

I dont remember which SBF link I used in the Development but my Droid 2 is back up and running, first try it worked like a champ. Now if there was only a way to root or rom 2.3.4.... =(
Droid 2 bricked
So basically you guys are telling me im screwed until 2.3.4 SFB is released, or someone comes up with a way to load an earlier bootloader that will allow SBF'ing the earlier firmwares.
if by screwed, that there is no way to root yes, nothing yet
and there is a 2.3.4/ 4.5.621 and 622 SBF in dev section and site posted 4 posts up

SBF download
I had the exact same problem. I had to go back to the stock 2.3.4sbf. I'm now waiting for a root or a way to sbf back to 2.3.3. If you or anyone else needs to download the sbf,
sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_droid2/list (dot) php
is where i got mine. I actually put the R2D2 flash on just for fun, but i can verify that both D2 2.3.4 files work.
Which settings should i use to unbrick my A955 .... when using RSDlite 5.7 (Flex/Flash options)
don't change default settings
or don't use rsd lite
try Droid 2 621 EzSBF with root option

"bricked" my Tmobile US defy while working with 2ndinit. I'm sort of noobish I read the instructions and got everything I needed but apparently something went wrong. I beleive I need an SBF file to reset everything. The thing is this forum is old and links are dead everywhere I look. Any help would be welcome. my device was runnin on stock tmobile eclair version 1. I tried a factory reset on stock recovery but no go and I dont have any custom recovery.

If all else fails, flashing an SBF with RSDlite should work; it's the one advantage of having a locked bootloader. Check the all-in-one guide for details, esp. on efuse/CG levels if you want to be able to fully revert to the stock eclair.
The problem at this point will be finding an SBF file, as it appears the droid-developers archive is no longer working...
Yeah. Thanks I already fixed mine.
