I installed the radio update from Ken, but the baseband still shows 1.77.00, but i saw that the latest is the 1.97.00. When i install the 1.97.00 mod from the other thread (not by Ken) i get the 1 signal bar issue, so i want to use kens.
What am i doing wrong?
The latest AT&T radio is 1.77.30P
1.97.00 is not an "official" radio for AT&T.
It works, but it has its own issues.

flashing radios through fastboot doesn't work. you need rsd lite. install the radio from the sbf with rsd lite and it will work.

1. Install RSD lite 5.3.1 get it here---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=634879&d=1308872277
2.(granted the phone drivers are already installed) Launch RSD and search for the Radio SBF with RSD lite(or drag and drop). Turn phone off and connect USB(USB on back of PC)
3. Turn phone on while holding up on the volume rocker.
4. Phone will show " Starting RSD protocol support".
5. Hit start on RSD once it recognizes the phone.
6. Let it install, phone will reboot. Should be good to go!

No guide, you flash the sbf with RSD lite like any other sbf. usb debugging, power off phone, hold volume up button, while holding volume up button, turn on phone, should say starting rsd, plug in phone to computer, have RSD lite on computer open, choose sbf, flash.
We've been moving away from RSD in general though as it's always riskier, evne though radio sbf is generally safe.
Another alternative is to download the fruitcake version of the radio in samcripp's fruitcake thread. That installs via tenfars cwm
Safer than SBF flashing - Fruit Cakes !

I have tried updating the radio with both SBF and CWM. The baseband updated, but wifi will still not connect? I have a rooted Atrix, and have tried multiple ROM's all with the same result. Currently I am running Alien 3. Thanks for the help.

How do I flash the SPF file just in case I get a bricked Pro? I have a rooted Droid Pro with ClockworkMod Recovery installed from the Droid 2 Bootstrap.
I know how to go into CWM Recovery but only from the bootstrap... let's say my Droid Pro gets bricked and it doesn't start up and only gets stuck in a boot loop, then how do I flash the SBF file?
Thanks for the help, wish there was a fool-proof guide, I'm too spoiled from the ease of flashing a Droid Incredible.
You don't need CWM recovery to flash the stock SBF, you need it for installing CMW backups.
If your phone is bricked, use the stock recovery and flash the stock SBF. Stock recovery: R + M + Power on.
And after you get a working phone, re-flash CWM Recovery & the bootstrap, and use the backup you have.
When I try power + R + M all I get is an exclamation mark and the android logo?
Tell me if this is right...
I hold down both up/down volume buttons and then turn on, and then it shows me the Motorola locked bootloader screen that says "Plug in USB for programming"
Say I plug in my USB to my PC that has Moto Drivers & RSD Lite can I just flash the SBF that way? Nobody has really said literately how to do it, so I don't truly know since I have zero experience flashing Moto phones.
To flash SBF:
- Turn on USB debugging
- Connect phone to PC in PC mode
- Open RDS Lite as ADMINISTRATOR (right click on the .exe and go to run as Administrator)
- Select your SBF
- Click Start
@class: You're right and I'm wrong, I got recovery and boot loader modes mixed up.
al2x: Try what @class said.

2nd post is the Droid Pro SBF Files. They are at 2.26.20 so you will have to do a 14mb update after the SBF install.
You will need RSDLite to unbrick your droid.

I was messing with the phone trying to do stuff and long story short I cannot boot up for nothing! Here's what I get:
- I turn it on, and all it says is:
FAILED TO BOOT 1
STARTING RSD MODE
Everything else is BLACK SCREEN
What I have tried so far.
Used rsd lite 4.9 and installed the SBF FILE:
OLYFR_U4_1.2.6_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P012_HWolympus_1g_1FF.sbf
It reads and tries to flash but the atrix reboots on the SAME screen mentioned above. And the RSD on my PC says FAILED FLASHING PROCESS!
What more can I do guys/girls?
Is it bricked? Whoever shows me how to get it running I will gladly paypal you some money for your time. Thanks!

You could start by removing external sdcard if you have one in there then try RSD flash back to 1.2.6.

How to flash your DEFY+ via RSD lite.
Prerequisites:
RSD lite v5.3.1 (or later); MotoDev USB drivers ( http://bit.ly/K59zlZ );
1.Goto recovery.
2. Do wipe cache
3. Do wipe data/factory reset
4. Take your battery out.
5. Hold down Volume Up and Power button and put the battery back in while holding the buttons - your phone will start in bootloader mode
6. Connect the phone which is now in the Bootloader mode to the PC
7. Start RSD lite and select the sbf file (it is recommended that you should put the file in root C:/ on your PC and rename it to something short (GB.sbf)
8. Click "Start"
9. You can see "SW Update in progress" on your phone's screen - the flashing is in process
10. The flashing process takes around 5 minutes, after which RSD lite will reboot your phone
11. Wait until RSD lite says "PASS!" and then you're free to disconnect your phone (*if RSD lite doesn't say "PASS!" after 2-3 minutes and your phone has booted up, you're still free to disconnect)
thanks alot buddy
but just wanted to ask that..im not getting my previous version of custom rom from the site..n the nandroid backup is also faulty..
so is it okay if i flash some other version via the rsd lite?
sorry but im kinda unknown about it...
thanks in advance
u will get indian sbf in the forum..search..flash it..
then start all the process again
I tried flashing a couple of sbf files on my Defy and I had no issues until I tried flashing the T-Mobile_MB525 file. It did everything on RSD and it said PASS. I can't turn it on. I can't access the boot load screen or the recovery screen. RSD won't show my phone. The only thing I see is a white light from the phone. I need help. I want to go back and flash the original stock rom on my T-Mobile USA Defy.
try post #4

Check the smg versions of the sbf you Fashed before that one. You will find the needed tools in the Sicky threats.
Could be you flashed one of a higher version before that.
Did you flash with low battery? Could be it was out of juice. But it said pass but I don't know if it means much. Does RDS recognize your phone?
Whenever I connected my Defy to my laptop a white light shows up.
The only sbfs I flashed were the jrdnem deblur the jordan sbf that's the one I use to go back to stock and the T-Mobie_MB525 is the sbf that messed up my phone.
Hi everybody, recently decided to fix up my old motorola defy. Got it up and running with a new housing, lcd and battery. Decided to flash a custom rom, guess what, phone got bricked.
I'm currently stuck with the motorola log in an infinite loop so i cant use the volume down button to restore via my back up. Tired restore in bootloader mode using rsdlite following the steps from here. But Some how rsd lite doesn't detect the phone. Tried most versions and have installed the drivers repeated but nothing works.
Anybody have any good suggestions as to what i should do? dont really wanna use it as a paper weight. Thanks for reading.
Bump!
