I've never flashed any sbf. Neither fixed nor full.. what I did was just installed 2ndinit on stock froyo, Installed cm7 then miui and I'm now on ms2ginger 2.1. So this means that I cannot downgrade to froyo anymore right?

Easiest way is to flash 2.2 SBF from you region/carrier. You can where to download and flash them in the sticky threads.

Downgradability is lost only when you flash an official motorola SBF of a higher version using RSDLite in bootloader mode. Custom ROMs (CWM zips, Nandroids) don't affect downgradability.
Oh thank you so much ...

You should find here all info's about DEFY, but the short story about the bootloader is that, the locked bootloader prevents average users from damaging their phone on the software side, but it blocks all real development from dev's. The unlocked bootloader let's you do anything....almost to your phone and so dev's can really modd it as they want. Hope this helped.
Can i still downgrade if i install MSginger 3.0?
Yes u can downgrade your firmware

Why would you run RSD for when you have a locked bl? I only used RSD (once) to unlock my bl and i was told to never re-use RSD because many phones have been bricked using it.
Currently i use Tenfar's Clockwork Mod to flash roms, kernels, etc...
My advice is to stay away from RSD unless you have to unlock your bl.....then forget about it.
No its not safe to rsd down to 2.2. Brick. It MAY be "safe" to rsd to a fresh 2.3.4

Why would you want to downgrade? RSD is never good in the first place!
Just use fruit cakes...

NEVER use RSD to downgrade if you've installed Gingerbread. You will permanetly brick your phone. Look up how to unlock your bootloader, do that and install tenfar's CWM which you can find in the dev section. From there, get a froyo rom from the fruitcake thread which is also in the dev section. This is the ONLY safe way to downgrade.
okay I've updated into official 2.3
and I will keep the 2.3sbf and delete the previous version
thanks

One way would be to sbf to froyo and then upgrade via ota. I don't know if there is a gingerbread sbf out there. Search the forum for how to sbf and google for the file.

The 602 file is rooted stock. On the tbh app or at mydroidworld or probably on here. Sbf to froyo,root,bootstrap, install 2 part 602. Stock rooted.
Across the airwaves via DarkslideX in 602 limbo.......
So I recently bought a droid x, I currently own an evo shift.. so I rooted the droid and installed boostrap x.. now I nandroided and proceeded to flash miui.us 1.10.21, so upon completion phone is stuck at the M screen... now I go into recovery via "home and "power" but I can't flash any rom besides and update.zip... I was on stock 2.2.1 which is my problem since its GB rom... my question what can I do to boot my phone up?? Any insight would be great..

You have to SBF.
Google for instructions on how to do so, it's really easy and returns your phone to stock.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thanks I will def try that...
Update: sbf work flawless... now my question is... if I want to flash miui.us do I use boostrap X or 2?

Use Droid 2 Bootstrapper.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Are you on froyo stock or gingerbread stock? Because if you are using a newer version of MIUI and on the froyo kernel then youll get stuck on the bootlogo. One good way to tell if youre on froyo or gingerbread is by the boot logo, red moto=gingerbread; white moto=froyo
if ur on froyo u use dx bootloader, if ur on gb u use d2 bootstrap

I find that Droid 2 Bootstrapper works just as well on Froyo.

Sorry for the late reply.. I had a hard time getting my phone to take the sbf.. I was stuck on the boot logo (red) andqould not tke the sbf.. I finally was able to revert back to sbf. 340.. now I wanna goto miui as that was I wad running on my shift.. I've read I need to sbf to. 602 first.. so do I need to do that first or can I just flash miui from. 340?

So I know that the OTA update 2.3.4 (621) made flashing sbfs impossible due to it leading to a bricked phone, but if you use the new root method and successfully root the D2, does it fix this and make it possible to flash sbfs? For those who don't know, this is the new root method.

I don't think I can post links yet so just copy paste that into your search bar, or a higher ranked user post the link.
You can still flash sbfs you just can't downgrade thanks to the new bootloader

yup i kno that too but on ur suggested thread i got a link THIS indicating STOCK ROMs......these are stcok or NOT.....if not then which is...n if there is no stock ROM then for rooting which ROM should I use....
I think you have a misconception. The thread link I gave I think referred to the sbf stock ROM with boot loader version 7
For rooting you have to flash the two sbfs(stock roms) as I referred to earlier.
