I have C Spire's Milestone X (2.3.5), tried to flash Cyanogen's nightly and failed.
Couldn't use the C Spire SHADO_X6_3.2.6_SHADOW_BP_C_02.06.00R_AP_BP_Flex_21_signed_secure_cell_south_1ff_P3_USERBLD.sbf.zip (recovery errors), so I used the Alltel one.
Great, now my phone thinks it's with Verizon wireless.
*228.. "Welcome to Verizon wireless...."
Help?
I would find the stock sbf for ur milestone x and reflash.
I had to use ur milestone x sbf to get by 621.
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium running ics 4.0.4 after taking the 621 update.
I can't downgrade from 2.3.5 which I'm assuming is what the .sbf I posted is.
I get bootloader errors. I even tried installing the 2.3.5 OTA patch but it doesn't work either. I get recovery errors.
Hence, my orig reply to flash ur latest sbf. That will get you back to a good starting point with all operational. Then test again. I always have my current sbf before root and flash.....preventative measures rule

Can't find one. I can't boot into CWM now either.. it just boots into reg. recovery. -sigh-
Looking around at your 2.3.5 milestone x device.
I notice alot of people bricking using your sbf file.
Sounds like there are issues from it and you cant install the update because of it.
First if you tried to update and it still failed, well my resolution.
Boot up in linux maybe ubuntu live to be safe
hook up your phone power on holding home+Vol down+power
should say usb at the bottom
Then run terminal
chmod +x sbf_flash
sbf_flash "your original sbf file to put to your carriers stock rom"
Unplug usb and reboot phone.
Why dont you try looking here for your original or current stock sbf file

Ok, so you are up and running then. The only thing i was going to suggest is flashing SBF to get you back to Stock Android 2.2 and starting the process over again. I had a similar problem and wiped everything clean IOT get what i wanted. SBF'ing is simpler then you think, all you need is 2 files (rsdlite_4.8 and VRZ MB810_2.3.15 sbf). There's lots of articles here on it and I used them when I thought I bricked my phone. I started all over and was able to receive my 2.2.1 update.....finally!!
have you done the ota update? if so use 2.3.32.sbf you can get it by google and search droid x 2.3.32 sbf and its the first result. and dl rdlite 4.8. very easy to flash. several guides on here as stated.
I got it my drivers are up to date but won't find my phone.. And I'm leary all I got to do is that file and update?

Try running rsdlite as the administrator. (Right click rsdlite)
Now won't find it and I got a toshiba, only a little bit over a year old

EDIT #2 - YEs, rebooted with 2.3.320 now to find 2.3.340 n flash it
I rooted using Z4. Downloaded 2.3.3 flashed, all works. Had to download bootstrap for DROID 2 ( forum post said DROID x would not work with 2.3.3). Anyway, before flashing 2.3.3 I made a back-up of stock. Recovery will "restore" but bootloader is the "red" moto splash screen and stays there.
Also, tried accessing the back-up via RM, but that method show "red"moto splash then black screen.
So, anyone have an idea how to flash my stock 2.2 back-up?

Instructions stickied at the top of this forum to use Linux to SBF back to stock, then your restore should work after you root it and install Clockwork Mod/Bootstrapper. The driver used for RSD Lite to SBF back via Windows isn't very good, and can be problematic; even if you're not familiar with Linux, I'd recommend doing it as laid out in the Ubuntu Linux SBF thread.

Thank you, came from DROID incredible. Never needed linux. Not sure how/where to find the procedure for windows. Will continue looking and should have mentioned that in op. Either that or just stay on 2.3.3

Background:
I've rooted then unrooted my Droid X in the past. Today I tried to install the OTA Gingerbread update. After the download and the reboot the Droid X booted into Clockwork Recovery (as has been normal recently). After selecting reboot, the phone reboots and tells me the update has failed.
I attempted to SBF using this guide: droidforums dot net/forum/droid-x-hacks/99958-rooolers-guide-root-backup-roms-2-2-ota.html#3.
The file I used was: VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf.
Now:
I have the following on my screen (black).
Bootloader
30.04
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I searched and found that I needed to use a 2.3.34 SBF, so I found this: SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf.
After SBFing with the new SBF I have the same result.
I'm stuck, I'm short on time, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You need the full sbf.

You needed to use VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.zip. you can try that, if it doesn't work you might have completely bricked it.

Same thing happened to me this morning, but different ERR numbers. Verizon & Motorola were no help. Took it to the Verizon store, they forced Froyo 2.2 back on the phone. Its working now, but keeps trying to update. I am waiting until I get home to back up everything, then I will wipe the phone and let it update on its own. Seems to be a bootloader issue with either Bootstrap or rooting.

If I'm on GB my phone ALWAYS gives me a "code corrupt" after running the 2.3.340 full SBF. A system SBF afterwards always fixes the issue. Weirdly, I can't just do the system SBF. Its like I have to brick the phone with the full SBF and then repair it with the system SBF.

I'm running VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf now. I'll post back with my results.
Thanks everyone for the input so far.
After flashing with VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf it looks like we're back in business. Everything looks the way it was before I started all this.
I'll try updating to GB now and report back.

You should probably download the file again
So i bricked my friends droid x and its currently stuck in bootloader.
Bootloader

Err: A5,70,70,00,1F

Battery OK
ok to Program

Ive been googling around and i havent seen anything. I wanted to know if there is anything.
There is a very easy way to fix it, but before I tell you, I need to know how this happened?
(Eg. installing an OTA update)

Have u tried to sbf?
This is were I would get my proper sbf and use Linux to reflash the phone as stock. Then data reset it. Reboot and start over. You'll get it. If IT's boot up problem occurs after reboot from flash then try different from that one is not working for you or directions not proper

Like mike said, sbf time. Its pretty easy, just download the Motorola drivers, SBF file, and RSD Lite. Can be done on windows or linux.
I would recommend using the .605 sbf file rather then .621, as .621 can't be easily rooted or sfb'd.

Sorry for throwing a dead horse of a question out there but I'm kind of on a time crunch. I have my old DX running 2.3.3, (4.5.605), rooted, but no roms and Droid Bootstrap 2 Recovery is installed.
I need to return this phone back to full stock. I have a close friend who's going through some hard times and needs a phone. I'd like to give her a reliable phone that just works. Not concerned about rooting later on, just want to get it back to stock and allow the OTA's to push through.
I appreciate the help.

there is no need to allow ota to push, thats just adding a step
just flash the sbf version you want phone to be on
charge phone, install rsd lite, down load dx sbf, boot phone to bootloader, start rsdlite, select sbf, start
or use ezsbf for dx

I appreciate all advice. Thanks again.
Follow up question. If I'm just looking to unroot and bring back to stock, should I SBF using (Android 2.3.3 System Version 4.5.605 (VRZ_MB810_4.5.605_1FF_01)?
I followed your link SD, to the list of SBF files, and I'm guessing since I never took any OTA's since GB, this is the correct file to SBF.
Thanks again, just waiting for the battery to charge up.
if you flash sbf
phone will be unrooted, and stock, just backup any apps, texts, call logs, contacts..
that you want to save,
because you will need to wipe data, in android recovery
if system version 2.3.4/4.5.621 was never on phone you can flash
any DX sbf 1.13.604 through 4.5.605
and you can flash 4.5.621 if you want, it just changes the bootloader, so you can not use other SBFs
Lmk if you need 2.3.2 , have that and the old tbh tether hack zip .
Edit: looks like i also have 2.2.2 sbf as well.
