Which SBF to use?

I was on 2.3.315 and tried to install 2.3.320
phone froze up on me during the install process using droid x bootstrap recovery and now wont boot up at all
which sbf file should i use? 2.3.315 or 320 to reset?

Here, if you just searched, it you would see it scattered all over the place, how to do this. You dont do it thru that recovery. To do that, you need to install that as an SBF. Here is the link...I hope it helps...Scroll down to the bottom where it shows you what you need to install to return the phone to stock.
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html

Try booting your phone up into the bootloader:
Hold down the "volume down" and camera buttons while pushing the power button.
If your bootloader version says 30.03, then use the 2.3.15 sbf. If it says 30.04, then you will need to use the 2.3.20 full sbf.
The 2.3.20 sbf is available over at mydroidworld. The 2.3.15 is on rootz wiki. There are instructions for both on their respective sites. If you still need more help after this, please post back.

No need to SBF. Go to Droid x android development subforum. There's an update zip there to flash in clockwork that will update your phone.

[Q] Go back from GBread?

Before I tackle this upgrade I was wondering if there was a way to get back to my froyo via SBF then root then clockwork restore. Or will it brick it?

You can go back to 2.2. Just
1. sbf back to .340
2. You will bootloop, boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache.
3. Boot into 2.2 and root.
4. Install bootstrap.
5. Restore backup/install new rom.

i sbf back to 2.3.340 adn i cant go in to recovery to make a data factory reset i hit sear and the recovery menu wont apear.please help

That shouldn't happen. Did you use the _full_ sbf and not the system only? Do you have the correct Motorola drivers? Have you sbf'd before using the same computer/phone?

You have to press both volume and up button when you see the exclamation point not the search button

i did factory reset but im still stuck in moto logo

That's for the new recovery, the old recovery required you to press the search button. It sounds like the sbf didn't complete properly.

Did you have to press the volume up and down buttons to get into recovery? If so, you're still on the new recovery and you'll need to sbf to get back to the old one.

Make for certain you are using the full 2.3.340 SBF file located here
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/6367-new-full-sbf-droid-x-2-3-340-a.html
Otherwise it will not boot. You can tell if you have the red M logo you still have the leaked GB bits. If you use the system only SBF file it will not work. If the full 2.3.340 SBF file worked, you will have a white M logo when you power on the phone.

problems getting back to froyo
I am hitting problems sbfing back to froyo 340 from gingerbread. My drivers are installed and rsdlite 4.9 is recognizing the droid x perfectly fine as well. The sbf process starts fine, but fails due to a group 31 checksum error.
ERROR: Flash failure: Interface AP-OS: Error verifying Code Group 31 checksums. File: 0x56E0, Phone: 0xB9A8 (Error Code: 31),
Detailed Error Details: Direction of the Error=No Direction, Command Value=4000000, Code Group Number=31
File: D:\GitProjects2\hdt_windows_flash\flash\code\flashdll\FlashHdlr.cpp
Device ID: 0
The strange part is that now when i reboot, it always goes back to the way my phone was before i attempted to flash it. Any apps I install just get installed. Icons that were moved get put back.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Stuck in red moto logo loop with 4.1 CM10 (JB) after installing SBF file

First time flashing a rom so I know i've got something out of order in the process.
ATTEMPTED:
I attempted ROM manager and it kept saying that I needed to install Clockworkmod recovery and I never could really get it working.
ENDED UP DOING:
Phone is rooted and unlocked for non-market apps with Superoneclick.
Installed 2init to flash [JB] CM10 Jellybean 4.1.1 from the Quartz build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779324)
No problem here. Got it up and running and gapps installed.(from http://goo.im/gapps used gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip)
When I tried installing the sbf file with RSD Lite (v5.7), I hit the red Moto logo bootloop and had to do the stock recovery.
I am wondering how to avoid this bootloop when I install the SBF file (p4_kobe_umts_kobe_user_3.4.2-125_KOB_FFW-4_product-keys-ATT-US_ATT-signed.sbf) can't remember which site I downloaded it from. I've tried this 4 times. Any suggestions?
Btw, what is included in the SBF file? I assume it has the moto and att apps. I'm just looking for the att phonebook and the motoblur for backup.
I've looked around the forum a lot so please forgive me if I am asking about something already posted. It just wasnt clear for me.
Thanks for the help.

The SBF has factory/stock MotoBlur with the at&t bloatware included. You can't use MotoBlur with cyanogenmod that I know of. You might be able to use the at&t address book though.
You need to reboot into recovery after installing 2init. You do that by pressing volume down when the blue led light comes on at the red logo.
Then you can install cm10 and gapps.
Try sbf in linux if all else fails, skeevy420 posted a great tut on how to do it, or just look up "flash sbf linux" in google and you'll find a guide from somewhere. Sounds like you just need to start from scratch, in which case you have to flash sbf first.

[Bricked] Stuck with nothing

I have a Motrola Bravo MB520. It currently has no ROM and a stock recovery. I tried to install CyanogenMod using the Bravo Recovery. (Bootstrap) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bandroidx.motobravo.bootstrap Somehow, I erased the /system and my phone just stops at the Motorola icon. I can't find a stock ROM but possibly someone can provide one. (Preferably one thats a .zip and will flash from the stock recovery) I can get into the bootloader but it's no use since my computer (A Mac) won't detect it. (Or at least not in ADB/Fastboot) So now I have a brick and the only real way to fix is to get a ROM which is signed so the stock recovery will accept it.
All help is appreciated since I need this to work.
Thank you in advance.

I downloaded a SBF for my device but that utility didn't work. I used another computer which could run RSD Lite so I just installed it there. I'm back to my original plan.
Thank you for the advice, though!

hard bricked help

I have a droid razr m xt907. It was working fine until suddenly it wouldn't boot. I tried flashing using House of Moto. Unfortunately, at that point I didn't recognize the phone as being an xt907 and only knew it as a droid razr m. The house of Moto instructions said you have to insert new lines in the rom if you have a snapdragon device and included the xt907.
I flashed it (with the wrong rom) and it would no longer go into recovery but only goes to ap fastboot.
I've also tried flashing with rsd lite.
Recently I installed Ubuntu but it hasn't been able to recognize the phone using gmtp.
Help appreciated.

Youre not inserting lines into the rom. You're replacing (overwriting) old files in the houseofmoto tools file. These file are labeled "windows", "linux", and "darwin". There is a link on the houseofmoto main page containing the new files. All you have to do is extract both files to folders, open both files, and then drag and drop from Snapdragon fxz support folder to house of moto folder. Use the "copy and replace" option when prompted. See guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450702

The exact detials aren't the point. The problem is that I didn't realize that my phone was a snapdragon device or an xt907. I only knew it as a droid razr m -- so I didn't put the new files into the tools folder and ended up flashing the phone with the wrong files and now it's hard bricked.

what firmware did you flash?

Kit Kat 15.1
VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip

that is the correct firmware for the razr m xt907. It's the last update it got. The only thing that sucks about it is that it also installs the unlockable bootloader and kills root. You didn't flash the wrong firmware.

The firmware was correct but the files in the tools folder were for the wrong phone. That's why it got bricked.
I assume I already had the latest firmware update when it started giving problems since it was updating automatically -- so I would have had to flash it with that version anyway.

All you can do is delete all the extracted zip files and start over. If you still have all the downloaded zips just set it all back up from there. If you've tried RSD lite with the 62-15.1 firmaware, and you got no errors, I'd say you're hosed.

When I try to flash using rsdlite, a factory cable, and the 15.1 rom, it gives the error message: "failed flash process 1/17 flash partition "gpt.bin"

Here's a copy of the rom I know work.s I haven't gotten any errors from this.

Also if RSD Lite gets to be a pain, Mr. Blue Coat's command line method works well too

The mega links didn't connect and just hang.

The problem isn't the rom. I have a 2nd xt907 that flashes with no problem with the rom I've been using.

Hmm ok ill have to fix those. Have you had a custom recovery on the one you're having a problem with?

No, although I'm not exactly sure what a custom recovery is.

If you're using ubuntu, you can either install android sdk tools (adb), or you can can the motorola fastboot version for linux, then you can use the mrbluecoat instructions i posted above. You can also go back to the houseofmoto site and there are instructions on how to set it up for linux. The "tools" files you dind't replace are just fastboot files. If you set it up on ubuntu, and double check that you have the correct fastboot files, it should restore. If you don't do a lot of rooting or restoring phones just use houseofmoto. If it's something you do often then setup adb...or you can also just use motorola fastboots

Is there a reason that it would work using ubuntu but not work using windows? I've tried house of moto and rsdlite without success using windows.
