Whenever I go to flash this with RSDLite i get

on my phone. What's up with that?

No idea. What software was on your device before you tried to flash, and do you have an SBF file for your current version of software? Do you have a modified bootloader?
Downgrading SBF is sometimes not possible on some devices.
I flashed Android 2.2.1 System Version 2.3.340 Full (VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01) from http://sites.google.com/site/1kdsdroidx/home. I probably should not have done that. I'm guessing it updated the bootloader.
Also, the cellular south one won't flash with sbf_flash either. I did make a nandroid as soon as I rooted it so basically I'm just stuck with the Verizon baseband.
Ok just for the sake of asking, are you sure that this is the correct sbf? It's a heck of a lot smaller than the Verizon sbf's and it really does not want to flash to this phone. I can provide any information that you need and I really appreciate your time spent helping me!

Well I was responding to your request for firmware for Milestone X which I don't think will flash to a Droid X , which is what appears you are trying to do. They are different phones aren't they ?
Would this SBF work for the Appalachian Wireless Milestone X as well?
Technically yes, if its the same phone, but I would definitely NOT recommend flashing it because, unless you have your carrier's sbf, you could end up in the same boat as me with the wrong baseband and a phone with no data.
On a related note, can anyone flash this file and confirm that it is the cellular south sbf for the Milestone X, which unless Im terribly mistaken, is the rebranded Droid X(MB809) for regional carriers. Please be careful and only flash this if you know what you are doing!

You're right , bro. It is for Cellular South but for regular Milestone -- my mistake
model designated A854 Milestone
MILER_X1_00.26.1_MILER_CDMA_BP_01.07.00R_GEN_1FF_sign.zip - Generic DST flash
MILER_X1_01.22.2_MILER_CDMA_BP_02.05.00R_CES_1FF_sign.zip - Cellular South flash
Verizon branded Droid X(used with permission from Lucas Arts) is designated model MB810
Rebranded Droid X is designated model MB809 Milestone X with firmware version SHADO_X6_3.1.39
Im sorry for the confusion here, but the A854 is the Milestone, a rebranded Droid (A855 if I remember correctly). I need the sbf for the MB809.
Double post. Oops.

I have a flash for Ntelos MB809 and a generic DST MB809 flash, which do you prefer?
I'd love to give the generic a go if its no trouble. Thanks man!
Thanks for posting that! It flashed fine, but unfortunately I'm still stuck with the wrong baseband and/or PRL for Cellular South. When i dial *228 for programming I get Verizon's activation service. Any ideas?
Interesting, but where is the link? Any help appreciated!
The link is in its own thread in Droid X General.
Well I took my phone back to the store and got it replaced with another one. No matter what I did, I couldnt get the Verizon baseband off of it.

MB809 for Cellular South
There is now a MB809 Cellular South sbf available.
Well, I bootlooped my phone and gave this a try. It sort of worked on my phone with Appalachian Wireless. The baseband seems to match, but I've lost data. Wish I could find a .sfb for my carrier.
Can an MB809 firmware be flashed on to an MB810 phone?
I know for the most part, you shouldn't flash a firmware from a different phone to another.
I remember times where I flashed an E816 FW to an E815 with no problems.
While flashing a DSTV323 on a V325 only to brick it, then there were work rounds to flash it a certain way. Which would look something like flash this then flash this, and it worked.
In the past I would work on some phones (and I have had my share of bricked phones), but I wanted to ask, can an mb809 firmware be flashed on the mb810?
i bought a DX off craiglist with a bad esn# for $40.00
not bad
i called verizon and checked the esn to make sure its not reported lost/stolen and it is not.
if i want to get it activated i have to pay the old bill of $1700
anyhow i can not get "Standalone GPS" working because i can not activate.
STUPID VZW has its Standalone GPS locked down.
can i flash this mb809 rom to my mb810?
i mean i dont care about the cell radio...
i might care if i reflash it to cricket or metro-pcs or something like that later in order to sell it.
but right now i just want the dang blue triangle in my notification bar to go away...meaning im not activated meaning no GPS
i am currently running the pre-rooted 4.5.596 rom
any advice would be great
thanks
got my MB810 working with the alltel MB809 rom
gps is now working on a non-activated phone
Work in Motorola Milestone X Open Mobile PR
the SBF works for Motorola Milestone X for Open Mobile Puerto Rico?
anyone got a mirror?
filesonic is partially shutdown.
If you have updated your phone using the Gingerbread OTA that has been released by most carriers using this SBF will brick your phone. To the best of my knowledge there hasn't been an SBF that will work for the Gingerbread OTA.
That said, I think I may still have a copy of this somewhere if you still want.
Please, I've been looking up and down for this file.

We have a lack of Developers involved with the Atrix hailing from Canada, France, Australia, United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil. Or so it would seem....
If you are out there, show your faces! I am willing to help as best I can, I am not without knowledge.
Maybe we can make some kind of amalgam with the French 2.1.1 & the "Pudding" SBF? Are the keys different in the AT&T firmware? Preventing us from using portions of it? We have to get moving on this.
*Update 1*
As I stated earlier, the keys might be different from the AT&T version & CAN/FR/AUS/UK versions. Unfortunately they are. The files released today are useless to us, other than the method to compile an SBF of our own when the time comes. We need someone to leak these files:
CG2.smg
CG3.smg
CG42.smg
CG44.smg
firmware.hmg
RDL1.smg
RDL3.smg
From a Gingerbread build for International Atrix's or we wait for the OTA Update. Basically it's a waiting game for a leak or the first OTA Update that is compatible with our devices. I am not even sure if we can grab Code Groups from an already flashed Atrix though.
*Update 2*
Couldn't we use some of that Bootloader Bounty to maybe "Persuade" someone into coughing up a couple Code Groups? Anyone know someone at Bell, Telstra, T-Mobile or Orange UK?
I have an IDEA.
i tried to depack the unlocking SBF and it works. now i can see all the files:
CG2.smg
CG3.smg
CG42.smg
CG44.smg
firmware.hmg
RDL1.smg
RDL3.smg
If i replace the firmware.hmg file for thefirmware.smgon the french or Telstra sbf, it should work but i have a big problem, i cannot repack the file . i have an error message (Error opening files from folder. Some ramdownloaders have nothing to flash, remove them.) (

We need to get rolling on this. The problem is, there is not many Canadian Dev's in the Atrix forum.

I was about to do just this. So I am guessing we have to figure out if these .img files are signed with the right keys. It seems they are compatible with AT&T devices, but not ours.
I am unsure as to how they did this. I am sure they all chat in IRC somewhere, we need to get in there and ask a few questions.
*edit*
Ended up here. Seems there is a way to recalculate the checksums of the sbf.
Got one step further, went to compile but errored out half way through.
*edit 2*
Not gonna work. The program errors out even when you unpack and repack the stock 2.1.1 SBF.
Try to unpack and repack the SBF, we never know

i haven't seen the full .sbf, all i've seen of this firmware and the way to apply it is in post 2 of this thread
We have waited so long for an unlocked BL and now when we get one, everyone that isn't on AT&T are SOL. I have 100% had it with the Bell side of things.
Looks like we are waiting for an OTA update.....
I guess we'll just have to wait until the 2.3.3 OTA update is released. I know there's skepticism regarding international users obtaining this update, but Motorola went on record stating that it will be released simultaneously for US and UK users. Since SBFs from Orange UK work on all international builds, it would seem likely that all international users will get Gingerbread from them.
EDIT: How were ATT users able to unlock their bootloaders anyway? And why is it so different for us?
I know you guys on Bell are extremely anxious to get your BL unlocked as well, however, I dont think it was necessary to create a new thread in the DEV section for it... It hasnt even been 24 hrs yet. Its also been said hundreds and hundreds of times that requests do not belong in the DEV section.

Although i do appreciate where your coming from, i do think it is necessary for a Bell/international thread for unlocking BL/2.3 for Bell Atrix seeing as our framework is different from the ATT.
Perhaps this request could be moved to the correct area but i do think there should be a Bell/International related thread in the Dev forum.

Umm see, once we unlock ALL of our Bootloaders... there wont be a "Bell" or "AT&T" version. We will all be running the same stuff. AFAIK.
That's really why I want this the most, I am sick as hell of AT&T only stuff, which is 90% of the mods available, and 100% of the Unlockable Bootloaders available.

There will still be bell and att versions - the firmwares are still different. I dont think we'll be running "the same stuff" until some of the devs polish up some custom kernels painted with custom roms that can support both models of the Atrix.

I can 100% guarantee there is 1 model of the Atrix hardware. Maybe a couple revisions, but the same hardware nonetheless. This being said, only the software differs. Now that we do not have to use signed files, we can essentially all use the same kernels and data partitions.
If we had an unlock for our phones and flashed the 2.3.4 HKTW build, I highly doubt there would be much difference between our phones and yours when flashed with that same build.

I have a friend that moved from the Midwest with Silverstar Wireless (http://www.silverstarwireless.com/)
He got a contract on Verizon, but got a crappy Samsung Gem. He's hoping I can get the Droid X to work. I'm hoping I can put a Verizon 2.3.4 ROM on his phone so it will work properly.
BEFORE everyone asks, YES, I spoke to Verizon Level 2 (or 3?) tech support. The tech worked with me for almost an hour trying to get the phone unlocked using the stock Silverstar software. I have all of the unlock codes. Voice and SMS will work properly, but we could not get data to work at all. 3G is completely dead. *228 doesn't work. The tech thought it wasn't communicating properly with Verizon towers; maybe the baseband is bad? Verizon WILL take the device, however, and the IMEI is accepted.
Any ideas? I'll try third party ROMs, such as CM7, etc, but for the sake of ease, I figured a stock rom might be easier.

a) I'm not positive but I think if the phone can work with Verizon, it can do it without being rommed.
b) If you fix it, let me know what you did because I'm on an actual DROID X and started having the same problem late last week (except that I'm not switching carriers). Both Verizon and Motorola seem to be clueless as to how or why.

Well, I tried a two different generic MB809 SBF files, which both failed. Then I tried a VZ MB810 SBF ... which bricked my phone.
At this point, I'm guessing I need an MB809 SBF, but I somehow need to change the baseband/radio to a Verizon file. Assuming, of course, that I can unbrick the phone...

Try asking in Droid 2 or Droid 2 Global forum. It can't be Milestone 2 unless someone changed cover.

Oh the Droid Maxx 2 is listed as an XT1565 I believe.
I did some searching and I think I found the same post as you. I would honestly try to get an unlock code the normal way from Motorola and see if its actually able to be unlocked, you may be surprised. If you get the code, you can try flashing the TWRP recovery we have for the Lux phones.
If you're brave enough anyway. If that worked, I'd attempt a nandroid backup for safety then try flashing some roms or just rooting it.
If I had the phone personally, I'd probably attempt it. Hopefully you can get the original firmware though, but you may be able to convert it to an XT1563 single sim.
I'm in the same situation, I got Moto X Play from Open Mobile. The same happened with my last phone, a GS 4 mini I had with Open as well so yea, though luck with our LRA version phones :S.
Could any of you guys post a link to that chinese site? At least having a copy of the original ROM helps.
I have the stock firmware 5.1.1 I will upload it to mega for others to download faster. It took me 7 hours to download that file from the Chinese site. Uploading to mega. I'll post here when finished.
Edit: Upload done here's the link.

Good looking out. Have you tried to flash TWRP yet? I just got my XT-1564 today, unlocked it and am looking forward to messing with it. Have we seen anything about this getting MM?

Yes I unlocked the bootloader flashed TWRP then flashed crDroid ROM all good. Today I restored with the stock file linked, all good. I'm working on an updated tool auto batch/exe of my last tool for the Moto X 2014 to automate the process for Moto X Play 2015.

I'm dying to know any of these Moto X Play ROMs actually work on a CDMA network (i.e. Verizon). Not to mention if the TWRP and rooting instructions work for them as well.

There's only one way of finding out by flashing a Rom, I would suggest starting with Tesla Rom as it has multiple setting under data for both GSM and CDMA.

Well if you're on verizon, you'll be waiting awhile but always be cautious, moto phones are prone to hard bricks when flashing bootloaders, more than a few dozen folks hard brick the original moto x from 2013.

I hear you on being cautious. And for MM, this phone isn't supported by Verizon, when I logged in to it, Google thought is was Maxx 2 and so does my Verizon account, but it is a Play for sure. So weird.

Verizon version of the moto x play is called the droid maxx 2, count your blessings because verizon doesn't allow their bootloaders to be unlocked on retail phones. You have to buy a developer edition phone out right on verizon
@Omar04 if you do try to TWRP it, please let me know how it goes.

What version of TWRP did you flash? I'm having trouble getting it to be permanent. That said, I also tried to flash crDroid as well as a number of other ROMs and there was an error and none of them flashed properly.
