If you're comfortable with doing an RSD SBF flash the link below should get you back to stock Gingerbread. Make sure you read all warnings/cautions and if you're unsure about something make sure you ask...once you flash this SBF you can't go back to 2.2 or you'll hard brick.

Does doing a factory reset from in th OS or android recovery clear root or do you have to reapply the sbf?

I have updated and rooted my phone with Froyo 2.2. I need to send it back to verizon for a warranty replacement. After I SBF back to 2.1 I will have the stock software and no root. Does anyone know if there will be any issues sending this back? I am worried that the bootloader version got updated when moving to Froyo. Thanks for any help.
Have sent several phones back after rooted and sbfed so you will be good.
Even sent one back still rooted and nothing was said. Only problem I ran into was at a store and the tech seen the hack software on my sdcard.

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it looks like the return will go over without an issue after an SBF.
I have the GB OTA installed on the Droid Pro, non-rooted. Is it possible to flash back to the stock SBF so that I can root?

Yes. You need the sbf file and rsdlite. it's very simple.

Do you have to activate this device again after you do the downgrade? Because I'm in Europe and my friend have problems with activating it and removing the Simlock when he bought it. He had to contact both Motorola and Verizon many times before they helped him. Even though, he bought it directly from Motorola, it had a Verizon simlock (and there is no Verizon in Europe) and phone was not activated (and it's supposed to be activated in Verizon network).
So, my question is, will it be necessary to do it again? Thank you for any help!
where could i get sbf?
Here's the 2.26.20 SBF. Then you'll have to take the OTAs for the 2.26.60 and 3.8.7 updates.

You can download the updates and flash via recovery
My main objective is to gain root but to my understanding I must downgrade back to 3.8.7, root, and then upgrade via TBH gingerbread update. Ok maybe Im doing something wrong but everything goes fine up until when it says something about "re-enumerating" on RSD. After that the process fails with an error code of 0x703E....any suggestions on what I should do to fix this problem?

ok so i unrooted my phone so the s-on and i was using the stock 2.2.1. i decided to give the new leaked or whatever u wanna call it gingerbread 2.3.4 found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174344
now i cant flash back to the stock 2.2.1. everytime i go to hboot and use the PD15IMG.img file and now it says older version, update failed. so now i dont know how to get back to the stock 2.2.1. if someone can help me that would be great. thanks
Download the new panache ruu, install it, then after that's done use the 2.2.1 Img. In bootloader, then re root. That's what I had to do. Now that's if you are still s-off like I was. If you need or want detailed step by step pm me and id be glad to hop on the computer and guide you through it.

lmao true i cant get it to work either.. this is crap lol i would have never flashed that leaked gingerbread rom if i would have known that it was gonna be a ***** to flash back to the stock 2.2.1. i flashed it with the s-on i just went to the bootloader and let it pick up the update then i hit yes and now i cant flash it back to the stock build. oh well i guess we just gotta wait. i just got my sensation 4g so its whatever. i just gave my gf the mytouch 4g.
this sucks hopefully someone can figure out how to go back to the stock 2.2.1 rom from this stupid gingerbread leak. it messed up my phone pretty much cause now im stuck with it and i cant get it back and visionary wont even temp root my phone or anything. i hate this gingerbread leak rom. the phone has too many data issues. so if someone can figure out how to get it back to stock please let me know asap. i have s-on and im not rooted.
I want to return my Evo Shift to stock, unrooted, and load the latest OTA. I've been having various hardware/software issues and it might end up going back to HTC for warranty so I want to avoid any issues associated with rooting. Right now I'm rooted and running a Sense ROM (forgot which one).
If I download the OTA and install it, will it brick the phone? If so, is there another way to unroot my phone and return it to stock? I lost my backup of the stock ROM somehow.

Your best bet would be to run the RUU.. Your can run the 2.2 ruu from HERE and then accept the upgrade or run the 2.3.3 RUU from HERE (just find the one marked "Speedy")
The ruu will bring you completely back to stock with s-on
Thanks, it worked great.
You dont have to load the OTA to take it back to sprint do you?? i'm taking mine back in today, for the 3rd refurb, and ive always given them the shift with the 2.2

2.2 is fine.. As long as your s-on you shouldn't have any issues.

As the title suggests, i honestly have tried searching etc for my answers. But being a noob i cannot make sense of what to do.
Basically i have a t mobile UK atrix, i unlocked bootloader, flashed CWM and flashed Darksides ROM through the recovery.
I now want to go back to T- Mobile Stock completly were i can safely update officially without hard bricking my device . (if possible remow unlocked bootloader and CWM)
Please in desperate need of help
Once you unlock your bootloader, you can't lock it back -- there's a physical switch in your phone that gets broken once you issue the fastboot oem unlock command. However, you can get back to stock by installing the appropriate "fruit cake" for your phone. Once you have done that, the phone will be able to OTA update, if that's what you want to do. You can find those files in the dev section.
Thank You for your reply, will it also be able to update via motorola update software on pc ?
and do you have any recomendation for which fruit cake i shoudl install for a stock T-Mobile UK Atrix
i really cannot find the Fruit Cake i need to flash for a T-Mobile UK atrix ??? please help
Since Samcripp made the fruit-cake maker app, you could definitely request that someone make it for you. Please don't do that in the dev section, unless you want to get flamed lol.
Iv'e requested in the fruit maker thread, im currently on darkside 4.0 so would it really be so dangeroud to flash it via another method to a stock t mobile rom on 2.3.4? instead of fruitcake
Nope u can flash the 2.3.4 sbf. But nothing prior to that.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Like phalantx said you can flash sbf for t-mobile and you will get rid off unlocked in the top left corner. I know it would brick at&t mobile but tmob uk is safe.
edit//
YOU CAN FLASH 2.2.3 SBF even if you got 2.3.4 atm. I did and all worked great. I sent it back for warranty and they accepted ( broken digitizer). I didn't read phalanx post properly.
REMEMBER YOU DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I TAKE NO BLAME FOR BROKEN MOBILE. JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCE.

thank you everyone for your help
Just wandering if i can update to the latest firmware from here now by use of the motorola update centre
Yeah I did a factory reset after sbf as well.

I may have read over the answer to my question already, but why are you going from DarkSide to stock?
and if it is to get the official update, why not just flash one of the new 2.3.6 roms or wait for an updated darkside?
