yes it does work but it changes the build number to AWCC which I have no idea what that means, the build I had on it before was RETAIL
EDIT:
Just realized that this is for the AWCC Alltel, unfortunately for me I am on the alltel which Is still being switched to VERIZON. Phone still works though.

Milestone SBF on Droid X
I have a rooted Droid X that I flashed to alltel's network, however certian things like 3G and MMS were not working so I thought I would try to flash the alltel SBF to the phone and it worked! Kinda...it just isn't booting...I think it just needs to be wiped and SBF flashed again but I'm not sure. Either way now I'm stuck with a phone that I can't boot. Any ideas?

I figured it out...just needed to get into recovery by booting with home button and pressing the search button and wiping...after that I did another wipe and now everything is working perfectly, I think...still have to check the MMS but 3G is working like a champ!

just wanted to leave some important info concerning "STANDALONE GPS"
on my MB810`s i am not activated and have the BLUE TRIANGLE in notification bar with my stock OTA FROYO 2.2.340 or my OTA GB 4.5.596 on both my DX`s
you can not get STANDALONE GPS working if you have VZW and no activation!!!
i flashed to this alltel SBF from above and i have STANDALONE GPS and alot less bloatware from verizon
so we are running android 2.2.1....
is there no GB for this MB809?

i know this is an old thread but i know google tends to lead people to this thread so i needed to post. found out today alltel updated their activation number and therfor or atleast in my area this sbf will not let my activate my phone due to the built in old one. if anyone has any solutions please post it even if this thread is old. im also active in the droidxforums i know many people are eventually going to run into this problem as well.
thanks

what change? what the new way?

No, there hasn't been a Gingerbread release for the Milestone X that the regional carriers use. Hopefully it'll come.

So what's a guy supposed to do to get a DroidX to work on Alltel?

Just flash the Alltel SBF and everything will work just fine. Make sure you don't try to SBF back to 2.2 once you get the 2.3.5 update or it will brick your phone.
Anyone know is there is a Verizon software version that will also leave a brick if you try to SBF to Alltel? I have an X that someone wants me to flash but i'm scared to screw their phone up. It has the 2.3.3 version.

please help need milestone x altell sbf file most of the links are dead.

Acs Alaska SBF file

Does anyone have ACS Alaskas sbf file for flashing a moto milestone X? I messed mine up and now it thinks its a droid x verizon version with many things not working on the phone now. I cant just take it in as the closest acs office is 3 hours away. Any ideas or tips? I had a working clockworkmod backup but it wont even boot into recovery now.
You might get lucky by taking it to your carrier and asking them to do it for you. Some Verizon stores have been known to do it for people.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
well i managed to clockwork recovery to an early save point but Ive lost 3g and it says its connected 1x. I cant how ever use the market or web browser its like I dont have a data connection. Im pretty sure the sbf flash I did to a droid x is what messed everything up. Im sure the baseband or something was changed and no recovery short of a ACS Alaska sbf will fix it.
Any ideas short of taking it in and begging them to reflash it for me?
having same issue

What did you come up with? I have a friend with identical issue.
Also was wondering if we could create an sbf backup from another acs milestone x and flash that..ourselves
I wound up taking it in and having it replaced. Be cautious though I did get some heat about it being rooted. I played dumb and they finally replaced it.
As far as making a copy of the rom this is a question I've asked many times and never got answered.
I finally just switched to a different carrier and phone that had better development here at xda.

I believe id you use the Milestone X SBF rather then the Verizon one it doesn't effect the radios
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA
Its still worth a fee bucks. Follow steezones advice. Load up Linux. Run sbf flash and flash with a milestone x sbf. Then load cm9 pics tweak it up and sell it then.

[Q] root milestone x

ok so i upgraded to the milestone x from the htc heroC. when i got the phone (3 days ago) it was preloaded with:
android version: 2.3.5
system version: 4.5.602.MB809.ACG-CS.en.US
Baseband Version: BP_C_02.12.00R
Kernel Version: [email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1_57_MX2-32
i have tried everything to root the device to no avail. z4, superoneclick, PetesMotorolaRootTools, MotorolaOneClickRoot by psouzza4, UniversalAndRoot and GingerBreak.
anyone have any ideas?
wow... really? no one?
Better late than never!
I have Cellular South...or C-Spire also, and I just upgraded to the Milestone X from a HeroC as well. I just typed you up this nice and helpful response to help you, but unfortunately, I'm a new user, so I could't post any outside links. IF you'd still like the help, you can email me and I'll send you back the response that I saved. Just put MILESTONE X in the subject line so I won't miss it.

The Milestone X is identical to the Droid X, it's just renamed by C Spire to avoid licensing issues I suppose.

How? I was able to get my nTelos one rooted running the 2.2.2 but the Gingerbread 2.3.5 update is coming soon and I'm scared to upgrade. Is it worth it? How did you root?

use this DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip
So did you just create an ADB and root it with that package. Where did you find that package? Any instructions?
It is weird coming from the HTC Hero with tons of information on rooting, etc and coming to the Milestone X where there isn't too much.
What else have you done your Milestone X?

I just bricked my ntelos Milestone X. It had done the OTA 2.3.5 update today, and I tried to sbf back to 2.2. Silly me! Now when I turn it on, all I get is the bootloader screen with a MEM_MAP Blank error. Looks like there is no way to sbf out of this either....presently. Any thoughts?

Milestone X - C-Spire: Custom ROMS? Droid X Bootstrapper Working

Anyone with luck flashing a Milestone X w/ a custom ROM?
Running Rooted 2.3.5 w/bloatware removed (but backed up) along w/ DROID X Bootstrapper.
Have made my first full system backup using this tool.
If complete ROMS could not be used, what components would I need to modify, replace, ... exchange to get it to work on C-Spire (say, Verizon).
I've heard that there are some ROMS that don't mess with the baseband and other communications settings, files, frequencies, protocol, etc... What are these type called if they exist? Where can I find them? Are these a safer alternative to full ROMS?
Will DX Bootstrapper get the job done? Reports ClockworkMod REcovery v2.5.0.6.
I would recommend staying off custom roms for the Milestone X until a working sbf for us makes an appearance. Myself and ngholson both had issues where we got stuck in a bootloop and the sbf just output more errors until a replacement device was needed.

agreed. [10chars...............
another thing to consider, since we cannot sbf at this time, is that the bootstrapper will break your ability to install any future ota updates. it modifies the logwrapper and makes a copy called logwrapper.bin, however, uninstalling the bootstrapper and restoring the logwrapper file does not correct the problem. best i can tell the only answer that i can find when this happens is to sbf back to stock... well you see where this is going.... currently we cannot do this, so unless you never want the ota upgrades i do not recommend installing the bootstrapper on cspire's milestone x.
oh well nevermind went back and re-read your post, you already have the bootstrapper installed. (at least you did it after ota)
here is a link to the post that has the sbf that is reported to work with cell south (cspire) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117885
maybe someone else can try it again and report back.

I can confirm that the old sbf it does not work after ota update. I had to get a new phone. I have rooted, but I am not installing a bootstrapper until a working sbf is available. Hopefully that will happen soon.
I am on C spire out of Byram, MS and can in fact confirm that "Droid X Bootstrapper" from the market indeed works like a charm on the Milestone X with stock versions 2.2.2 and 2.3.5.
I use "Super One Click" to root, then the same prog to "Allow non market apps" then buy "Droid X Bootstrapper" from market, run it. Reboot while holding camera button and power button,,,,voila
Confirmed roms that I have and currently run or ran: CM 7 nightlies, Liberty 1.5, and Fission 2.5.7 DroidX

A little trick I figured out to sbf back to stock,,,,download the latest ota from Cspire "Blur_Version.3.2.6.MB809.ACG-CellSouth.en.US" blah blah,,,,,rename it to "update.zip",,,,not "update.zip.zip"put it on the root of your sd card and boot into stock recovery or clockwork mod and run update.......BLAM! Simple as that...

i tried that too it didn't work for me.
I dunno,,,, it worked for me twice. I tried to update cwm from the app using the flash for droid x and it messed up my recovery. So i updated to the latest ota from Cspire via the stock android recovery by naming the ota file to update.zip and running it like that.
I'm running CM7 nightlies for the droid x on the Milestone x....you might have to remove the line of code in the update file that asked for Kernel assert,,,,I can't remember, but seems like it kept giving me an error that says, "assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") but after that all was fine.

Yea, the Milestone is a little more finicky than the Hero, and with Motorola's locked bootloaders, one could get in a fix..
I've ran the past 3 nightlies and currently on cm_shadow_full-154.zip.
I tell ya, they all have some kind of bug somewhere. It all depends on what you want to put up with. Me, personally, I like the stock ota 2.3.5 from Cspire. It works. Plain and simple. Now, I would like some of the CM7 options and spare parts.

Open the updater-script with notepad (new to this) and found no mention of kernel assert. Almost there...a bit more help would get me in.
It should be the top 3 lines, if I remember correctly.... I checked it out on my phone to make sure but,,,, duh, I already removed it (face palm).
It's in there somewhere.
Run install again and right down all the errors... Then try to find them in the script file.
I'm new to this also (as far as motorola stuff) too. And I take risks that most people wouldn't..... Hell, if I mess something up bad enough , just sbf back.
I'll try to help you more when I get off work... Maybe send you my roms that have already been fixed.
Make sure to turn off script and signature asserts off in cwm... Sometimes that helps.

I despised that phone lol, wait i take that back, i guess i had "phone" envy lol Mine was a rom whore as well, it was rooted almost immediately after i got it with the ole gold card method.
the ota 2.3.5 is actually a good CLEAN rom, i do like the fact that it is so clean, just need a few tweaks as you said from the cm7 build, status bar tweaks ect..
may build up one.
built a rom for a tablet we are selling here, BIG learning curve but the locked boot-loader throws a real curve ball
now, have you gotten it to overclock?

[Q] Help With Motorola Droid Milestone X on C Spire - Bricked

I bricked my phone by using the wrong SBF. Like a DA, I didn't pay attn and used a SBF for verizon. However, my carrier is C Spire.
I am stuck at this:
Bootloader
30.04
Err: A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Can anyone point me to the correct SBF for C Spire to resolve this? Any help is much appreciated.
You're going to have to take it back to c spire and do a warranty return or you can send it to Motorola and they'll send you a new one back unless you're phone came with android version 2.2. If it came with 2.3.5 there's nothing you can do. Try this sbf file if it came with 2.2 http://www.filesonic.com/file/1301534444/SHADO_X6_3.2.6_SHADOW_BP_C_02.06.00R_AP_BP_Flex_21_signed_secure_cell_south_1ff_P3_USERBLD.sbf.gz

none of the sbf files would work for me, i was preloaded with 2.2. every time it resulted in the above referenced information exactly. there has to be a way to do it. i wish that i had a spare milestone x that i could mess with for testing. but after bricking 2 phones i am not willing to try it with my personal phone anymore.

my advice, before admitting defeat and taking it in for warranty, i would try every damn sbf i could find and use every method you can find. whats the worst that will happen? you brick it? too late. if you can get it to boot again somehow there is hope. try the same method over and over again. keep trying everything you can. THEN report back here and let the rest of us know =D
I've been working on this since Friday. The only sbf I've come across for C Spire is SHADO_X6_3.2.6_SHADOW_BP_C_02.06.00R_AP_BP_Flex_21_signed_secure_cell_south_1ff_P3_USERBLD.sbf.gz
I've yanked the battery, tried every imaginable button combo but that damned thing is stubborn. I'll probably go and do a warranty exchange later in the afternoon today. But if anyone here can point me to another sbf for C Spire, I'll try it out before I take it in. The one above is the only one I've been able to find.
I guess being on a small regional carrier makes it a little harder to get these things.
Thanks for the responses. I've warranty exchanged it now.
The replacement is on 2.2.2. Should I leave it alone or get the OTA update? I would like to put Cyanogenmod 7.1 on it.
Leave it alone. You can't run cyanogenmod nightlys on 2.3 because the nightlys are using froyo. If you do update you'll have to find the RC of cyanogenmod to put on it because it uses 2.3.7

[Q] 2.3.4 sbf for D2 or R2D2

Hello,
I bricked my phone trying to downgrade from the 2.3.4 update to my R2D2. (I knew better, but what can I say?) I currently need a stock Verizon 2.3.4 sbf for either Droid 2 or (preferrably) the R2D2 to flash back to. I have a spare phone I will run to my office tomorrow to use for now, but I really want to unbrick by beloved R2D2...
The official ROMI'm looking for is 4.5.622.A957.Verizon.en.US
****SOLUTION POSTED AT THE END*****
The sbf has been leaked, and is available:

Not to be unappreciative, but I understand that the 2.3.4 sbf for the Droid 2 R2D2 wont be available until it gets leaked from VZW, and that it doesn't even exist yet for the Droid 2--do you have a way to get it?

Thanks for the offer, but the Gingerbread 2.3.3 floating around the Internet will not work- the SBF MUST be 2.3.4, what was just realeased as an OTA 1 week or so ago.
Now, if someone stumbles across this thread, please note you CANNOT "downgrade" the R2D2 after the 2.3.4 OTA, as Verizon also updated the bootloader. If you try to downgrade to 2.3.3, you will brick the phone until the 2.3.4 sbf gets leaked.
From what I have seen, I am one of 3 people to create bricked R2D2s trying this, now waiting for a 2.3.4 leak to bring his/her phone back from the dead.
If you are indeed looking for the VZW 2.3.3 sbf, stockroms.net has it.

Thats 2.3.3
Not 2.3.4
So it's actually not amazing.
Still no movement on this?
My bricked R2D2 is looking very sad, sitting with no battery in it on the side of my desk...

Technology: N / A
Software Version: N / A
Flex Version: N / A
Bootloader Version: v0x00D237
Ok since no one is answering Ill say this.
You CANNOT SBF back. The 2.3.4 update changes your bootloader. None of the SBFs will work anymore once you update. This was told the day it was released. You will also lose Root ability.
Sorry but until someone can overcome the bootloader or the current SBF is leaked you peeps are stuck.

Thank you, Captain Obvious, for restating the subject of this thread..
Not trying to be an ass, just wondering why you installed the update knowing that you would lose root and couldn't SBF back.

A. My batt life and stability tanked after the update, and I was fed up
B. Didn't think it through
C. I thought I could easily download the most recent sbf and reflash-but didnt check first to see its wasn't available.
D. I have a spare phone, so knew if I bricked it, I would be OK
E. I'm not shocked or mad, I'm already married, so enough told-you-so's
Same problem
Why doesn't Verizon just release the sbf? Whats their reason for not releasing it, Those bastards!!

Ummmmm they dont want people to be able to root their phones.
Don't expect the sbf anytime soon as the Droid 2 is dead and pretty much nobody cares about it. :/
That's why I love me some MIUI. Also why Moto is on the bottom of my list for future upgrades. Sony is looking dead sexy about now.
Please Keep an Eye Peeled--Lots of People need this
Well this thread and about 4 others all drill down to the same issue.
We are all looking for a leaked 2.3.4 sbf for Verizon Droid2 or R2D2. Please all you people in the know keep your eyes peeled for a leak, and post the second it appears (if ever).
