The Droid R2D2 community is looking for the following the following SBF file:
VRZ_A957_2.4.5_1FF_01.sbf
It was leaked in December last year, but at the time it was thought to be for the Droid Pro. When it was discovered that this file was for the R2D2, and a different SBF existed for the Droid Pro, this SBF seemed to disappear - links that still exist are dead. If you have a copy of this file, or know where it may be downloaded, please reply back. Thanks!
EDIT: We got it. currently in testing. Thanks.
VRZ_A957_2.4.5_1FF_01.sbf is indeed the R2D2 SBF, i have successfully completed the flash and got me back to stock R2D2.
I do not know if im allowed to link this so I wont at this moment until im told otherwise.

Hey guys,
If you're having trouble with the new 2.2.2 update (getting stuck at 20%, seeing a triangle with an exclamation point, etc.) I'll be glad to help you guys.
I had the issue myself, but now I fixed it and am running 2.2.2 thanks to NFHimself.
He was the one who linked me all of the code, so creds goes to him, but I'll be putting up a step-by-step guide later tonight on how to update. Be patient! It will work.
Pm me and I will link you the thread I make later, or just check atrix general and android development later tonight/tommorow.
Cheers Canadian users! Dont have fear, you can update!
I got the same issue. The help will be appreciated. Keep us posted.
Sweet..I love step by step guides. I'll be keeping my eyes open for this!
Will you also be including a way for users with the French SBF to install this update?

I would immagine that the process would be the same if I have rooted and flahsed the SBF from the OLYEM 2.1.1 SBF from here... ?:

The guide will only be for bell firmware. If you're running an international firmware its much more complex, and I never swapped to an international firmware, so I can't say how to do it. However, NFhimself managed to go from the french SBF to bell 2.2.2 and bell radio. Not sure how exactly, he's a master with ADB and code. He's the one who has made the bell deodex files, as well as many bell atrix mods. Contact him if you need help going from french sbf to bell, since he went through the process. However, know you'll need pretty extensive programming/code knowledge.
The guide will be up asap, im studying for exams / beginning to write it right now.
To clarify: the guide will show all bell users who are on 0.37.4 how to update who have modified system files (ie. webtop hack, deodexed, etc.) to bell android 2.2.2. A clean update as well, not some weird glitch of an update.
I'm not sure if I'm blind or what, the SBF on Windows thread says I should be able to find the 2.2 SBF on that thread, but I cant find it ANYWHERE!
I really just want to go back to froyo from gingerbread. I have constant restarts, data and text will just turn off randomly.....sick of it.

I've seen a lot of traffic since Monday about the nTelos Milestone X 4.5.604 update to GB. No one seems to have brought it up to here, but the update has bricked quite a few phones. My phone was bricked by a unsuccessful update, wasn't rooted, was stock. Boots in bootloader now.
Now the issue is, nTelos can't fix it, and their new policy is only to give refurbs as warranty. My phone is 2 weeks old, don't really want a refurb, and have a backup Milestone to use, in the meantime.
Anyone have anyway a way to get a hold of the sbf file? Any help would be appreciated.
It also looks as if the old sbf file (2.2.1) is an automatic brick also.
I think you need to call customer service and ream out a manager. Bottom line is the software update that "they and Motorola" pushed bricked your new, not refurb phone. It's not like you rooted it or installed a custom rom, or ran over it, or dropped it in the toilet. Their recommended software update bricked it. I would not stand for it.
Yay, I am no longer the only one here on nTelos!
Anyway, I recently OTA'd to the 4.5.604 update, and it went fine, even despite me being out of state. I was really surprised. But yeah, if you just got the phone, they should give you a replacement. They were more than willing when my MIN settings were messed up to send me a new phone, but they just took care of that over the phone.
I wish someone would release the .604 SBF for nTelos.
They didn't have any refurbs in stock (makes you wonder), so they replaced it with a new phone. Also, the employees haven't done the update....
I had a Samsung phone for 3 days with them, before the X. It's screen would lock up, so tech support told me to take it to the store. I did, and they replaced it with a refurb (without informing me). I got home, saw b-stock on the box. Additionally, it had the same issue (a model flaw apparently). They refused to do anything, so they got the phone back during the trial period.
That's how I got the X. I raised 4 kinds of hell. They gave me the X to shut me up.
success
I didnt have any issues here. I updated mine this morning.
My wife's identical phone also did not have a problem. So it's hit or miss.
nTelos 2
So far I havent been really impressed by the customer service and such. I too am with ntelos, I didnt know that I could find this many people!! Starting to learn with the milestone x what not to do. I would like to find a good guide and a rom that works with this phone. Still googling...
I have this phone with ntelos and I've used Miui and Liquid Gingerbread. I've also heard that gummyjar and liberty work as well but I've never tried them myself. miui is my fav thus far.
What process or guide did you use? I dont think that I have seen any out there. Also where did you get the ROM's? All that I have found havent been valid...Thanks in advance..
Well there used to be a forum for just ntelos android owners but it disappeared for whatever reason. I learned most of this stuff on that forum, so I'll try to help if I can.
You'd flash the rom just like you would if you were on any other carrier.
As for a guide, (and assuming you've already rooted your phone) addictivetips has a good one titled "How To Install A ROM Or App From Zip File To Android Device From Recovery" (Sorry the forums don't let me post links yet)
I've used this article a lot.
When looking at a rom I generally make sure it meets three requirements:
1. It's made specifically for the droid x or milestone x.
2. It doesn't flash a radio from another carrier. (I don't understand all the technical details so someone can correct me here. Almost all of the roms that I've found don't do this so you're safe. I just make sure in the description that it doesn't mention anything about flashing a radio.)
3. It is based off the Gingerbread kernel (since that's the version I'm running).
I'll try to post some links to some roms tomorrow. I've only tried a couple versions of miui and liquid Gingerbread. Let me know what else you need.

i cant get my x to flash the recovery so i can install roms. any ideas?
Hi guys,
I flashed a custom rom on my phone and need to get back to it's original SBF. I tried motorola's SBF Consumer API but there's no public SBF. Given that other SBF have been leaked, maybe someone can help me with this.
This phone's flex version is USAJORDMR1B25MSTLALA020.0R
I know this SBF is not available yet but the phone has been on the market at least 3 months. The carrier is Movistar Chile.
Thanks
have you tried this link
Hi,
I own a Next G Motorola Defy Plus and am looking for the original Telstra (Australia) SBF for Defy Plus ONLY to restore for warrantee purposes.
If someone out there has the original file, could they please post the file or PM me.

These are not usually checked from my experience, any Australian sbf with a version that is closest to your initial rom will do

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for the same original SBF for the Telstra Defy+ BL7. If anyone could please share it, you'd be of huge help.
The nandroid backup I made before flashing other ROMs seems to be corrupted and I cannot go back to the original firmware in order to take my Defy+ to the shop with the warranty.
I started flashing it because whenever I turned on the data network it would reboot, thinking it could be a software issue caused by getting it unlocked. And after trying several ROMs and settings with different SIM cards I'm positive it's a hardware issue.
Again, this original firmware will be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Try THIS http://tinyurl.com/3gtzs4j
I tried flashing that with RSDlite and it bricked the phone.
Where did you find it? Must be a Defy (and not a defy plus) firwmare or maybe it's not BL7. My specs:
android 2.3.6
kernel 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e
build 4.5.1-134_DFP-231
Anyone can get a hold of the Telstra firmware we're looking for? Thanks y'all!
sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php
(paste into url bar)
Search for ones with the 'File' name:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231
This should be followed by and underscore and your country
e.g. DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_AU
for Australian sbf
If you can't find your country look in the column named 'Carrier' to the left of the 'File' names.
I tried flashing the only one on the sbf.droid-developers list that matched that criteria, turns out that, although it's marked as "Unknown Carrier", on the phone specs it says "Retail.en.AU". And it seems to work alright.
I'm guessing this might be enough to send it to warranty..? What do you reckon? It doesn't have all the Telstra starting animation or anything like that, but I'll give it a shot and hope for the best with the repairing service.
Thanks!
Hmm... those tiny link contain the only wild available Tesltra Defy+BL7 ROM. SRY if is not working. I have M525 and cannot test it.
