2.2 SBF yet?

I have yet to see a 2.2 SBF released into the wild yet. anyone seen it?

There is a system only sbf that is for OTA2.2 have heard a few people that had good luck with it. Rootzwiki has all the info on it

woah.. what is this .. $BF you speak of??
its a unicorn of the intertubes.

System only SBF didn't work it would appear to be using the old bootloader and only the full one uses the new bootloader.

I have used the 2.2 SBF that TBH released and I can say it does work. Keep in mind that its only a System SBF and wont fix all your problems.

I am not clear on what would be expected after flashing a system sbf instead of a full. Also, I have been seeing some comments advising people to go to the rooted deodexed OTA version from 2.3.9 or 2.3.13. What would be the benefit with the currently locked bootloader and no full sbf?

I tried to install Tranquility but was not deodexed and they said it would be fine, but it was not. I then tried a reset which went to 2.1 instead of 2.2 and bricked the phone. I'm told that the full SBF would fix that issue since it works off of a new bootloader.

I did the same thing I've been looking everywhere for information on a full 2.2 sbf, but I can't find anything. I'd just like to know an eta, but I know with leaks we usually can't ever be certain. I guess my phone's bricked for the long haul.

How do I Manually Upgrade to FroYo ?

I'm completely new to a Droid X. I don't have Verizon, I just use WiFi, so no OTA.
I'm currently on Version.1.13.516.MB810.Verizon.en.US
How would I go about manually upgrading to Froyo? I understand rooting and whatnot. Where can I get a zip?

How do I install an SBF with RSD Lite? Does it require root? Any tutorials you can recommend? Bricked my G1 before when looking for tutorials myself lmao.

If you don't want to use RSD, you may want to try this route:

This puts you on the leaked Froyo files (The last 2.3.15 leak is the same as the OTA Froyo update, just a slightly different boot loader and radio)
Many of us stayed on the Leaked version (I did) because the 2.2 SBF wasn't available until just a couple of days ago.

The issue with that method for me won't work is because I'm not on .604 I'm on .516

I think the link for .604 is there as well.
Spend a little time digging through the older posts int he dev section. Everything you need is in there.

Alright I figured it all out thanks ! On Froyo now

[Q] Factory Replacement DX

Hey all,
my trusty froyo dx finally died on me, and today I received what looks to be a newer model dx. My questions are..
Are there any ways to tell what "gen" this new dx is? (subtle changes etc)
this device already came preloaded by Verizon with system 4.5.596, will i have any issues when I plan to root using z4?
Thanks a bunch

Yes, it won't work. If you want root, you have to SBF to froyo.

what makes it look like a "newer model".
It shouldn't be different? for the most part the droid X2 looks exactly like the droid X. so I don't think they would make changes to a phone that already has a successor
z4root will not work, you need to find a FULL sbf .340 stock and use RSDlite 4.8 and restore it to froyo. from there you can flash p3droid's rooted gb rom, which is essentially the same as the OTA

[Q] 2.3.4 sbf for D2 or R2D2

Hello,
I bricked my phone trying to downgrade from the 2.3.4 update to my R2D2. (I knew better, but what can I say?) I currently need a stock Verizon 2.3.4 sbf for either Droid 2 or (preferrably) the R2D2 to flash back to. I have a spare phone I will run to my office tomorrow to use for now, but I really want to unbrick by beloved R2D2...
The official ROMI'm looking for is 4.5.622.A957.Verizon.en.US
****SOLUTION POSTED AT THE END*****
The sbf has been leaked, and is available:

Where did you get it?
Not to be unappreciative, but I understand that the 2.3.4 sbf for the Droid 2 R2D2 wont be available until it gets leaked from VZW, and that it doesn't even exist yet for the Droid 2--do you have a way to get it?
If you do, you'll be my hero!!

I have the gingerbread sbf for the droid2

Gingerbread 2.3.3 will not work-MUST be 2.3.4
Thanks for the offer, but the Gingerbread 2.3.3 floating around the Internet will not work- the SBF MUST be 2.3.4, what was just realeased as an OTA 1 week or so ago.
Now, if someone stumbles across this thread, please note you CANNOT "downgrade" the R2D2 after the 2.3.4 OTA, as Verizon also updated the bootloader. If you try to downgrade to 2.3.3, you will brick the phone until the 2.3.4 sbf gets leaked.
From what I have seen, I am one of 3 people to create bricked R2D2s trying this, now waiting for a 2.3.4 leak to bring his/her phone back from the dead.
If you are indeed looking for the VZW 2.3.3 sbf, stockroms.net has it.

Ok since no one is answering Ill say this.
You CANNOT SBF back. The 2.3.4 update changes your bootloader. None of the SBFs will work anymore once you update. This was told the day it was released. You will also lose Root ability.
Sorry but until someone can overcome the bootloader or the current SBF is leaked you peeps are stuck.

Thank you, Captain Obvious, for restating the subject of this thread..

Not trying to be an ass, just wondering why you installed the update knowing that you would lose root and couldn't SBF back.

A. My batt life and stability tanked after the update, and I was fed up
B. Didn't think it through
C. I thought I could easily download the most recent sbf and reflash-but didnt check first to see its wasn't available.
D. I have a spare phone, so knew if I bricked it, I would be OK
E. I'm not shocked or mad, I'm already married, so enough told-you-so's

Same problem
Why doesn't Verizon just release the sbf? Whats their reason for not releasing it, Those bastards!!

Ummmmm they dont want people to be able to root their phones.

Don't expect the sbf anytime soon as the Droid 2 is dead and pretty much nobody cares about it. :/

That's why I love me some MIUI. Also why Moto is on the bottom of my list for future upgrades. Sony is looking dead sexy about now.

Please Keep an Eye Peeled--Lots of People need this
Well this thread and about 4 others all drill down to the same issue.
We are all looking for a leaked 2.3.4 sbf for Verizon Droid2 or R2D2. Please all you people in the know keep your eyes peeled for a leak, and post the second it appears (if ever).

[Q] Need Help: Failed SBF Bootloader D2.37 Err:A5,70,70,00,1F

Hi everyone,
Please bear with me here but here is the full error I get when I tried to SBF back to 2.3.20 using RSD Lite 4.8 and the SBF file name is 955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf

I have tried multiple RSD versions, 4.7+patch, 4.8, 5.4, 5.6 and have had no luck getting past this message at all. I am out of places to look for help, any kind of insight would be wonderful! I was running stock GB trying to go back to Froyo prior to going to CM7.
I have read the forum post close to mine but it has the D2.35 BL and I can't seem to find any other info other than "wait till SBF is found" and with Droid2 not being sold/supported much I don't see much hope in this.
What can be done to fix?
I have tried:
1FF-p2a_droid2_cdma_droid2-user-2.3.3-4.5.1_57_DR2-31-110719-release-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf

BL_D237_cdma_droid2_Consumer_replacer_HSPart.sbf (wasnt sure if this would help with Bootloader errror) have also tried D2.35
VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf
I Have not tried by using the .iso Linux sbf'ing method yet

Try Try w w w droidxforums com/forum/droid-x-sbf/23638-linux-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html. The bottom iso in the OP named 1KDStaz_MX_4.5.604.iso. Fix the url above as I can't post links yet.

wont work only new 2.3.4 sbf file

Help! After a rollback to the stock firmware 2.2 through 2.3.4 RDS Lite, Motorola Droid 2 has stopped working, but you can bootloader on, it gives error:
Bootloader
D2.37
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank

You're going to have to wait until the 2.3.4 sbf files leak. I'm in the same boat as you and it's just a waiting game if it ever even gets released.

D2.37
hondateg91 is correct. Sounds like you took the new .621 Gingerbread 2.3.4 update and, like the rest of us, turned your phone into a paperweight by trying to downgrade. It really is a bummer, and a shame on Motorola's behalf. But don't think you're alone. All we can do at this point is hope and pray that 2.3.4 SFB is released, or someone comes up with a way to load an earlier bootloader that will allow SBF'ing the earlier firmwares.

need help to configure my Droid 2 overall by Verizon in French.
hello, I live in France, I bought a motorola Droid 2 Global by Verizon, the phone works properly, the problem is that it is set in English. and I do not know too much about English, I speak French and I'd set the phone in French, please can you help me? it is very important for me to set the phone in French. Thank you in advance for your help.

Droid 2 Fracais
jamesdmx - This thread is about bricked Droid2's (Not Droid2 Global) as a result of trying to "SBF" 2.3.4 Droid2's to an earlier firmware version. In the future, you should create a new thread, in the correct Sub-Forum, as your message is much more likely to gain attention this way, and you are for sure to get better results.
But since I'm such a nice guy, here's what you would do to change the language:
Click the menu button (the bottom right grey square that has an arrow on it)
Go to Settings. It looks like a grey circle gear.
Go to Language and Keyboard. This is 12th option from top and has an "A" icon beside it.
Go to Select Locale. It is the first option.
Unfortunately the Droid2 (at least the one I have) only gives me English and Spanish as language options. Maybe your Droid2 Global will give you the French option.
If it does not, unfortunately at this point, my suggestion would be to look into a custom ROM that has French loaded into it.
My next suggestion would be to start a new thread about this, in the right Sub-Thread "Droid 2 Global General" (URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=903). Be sure to include what version ROM is in your phone, etc, so that the Droid2 Global people can better help you.
Whatever you do, though, don't do like me and cook a Droid2 because you didn't do your research before throwing files at your phone.

D2.37 Bootloader
And while I am on this thread, I will throw some ideas out to you guys. Who knows, maybe together we can figure out the "missing pieces" to restoring our phones without the 2.3.4 firmware.
Somewhere in my search, I was able to obtain the D2.35 bootloader in SBF Format. It flashed successfully to my phone.
The good news is, my bricked Droid2 is at D2.35 bootloader. The bad news, however, is that it still will not take the stock or 2.3.3 Gingerbread firmware.
Also, while goofing around, I discovered that the bootloader D2.37 was actually sent down as part of the Gingerbread 2.3.3 update, as the Droid2 I picked up yesterday has 2.3.3 and D2.37 as the bootloader. Since 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, theoretically, share the same bootloader, I don't know why it would refuse to accept the 2.3.3 firmware.
I think there's an "extra piece" of code that has been sent down in 2.3.4 that is superseding the bootloader from proper behavior. Then again, I don't know! But when you add all the facts together, I'm a complete Droid Noob, and I'm sure everything I have posted is stuff all of you are probably already aware of.
With this information in mind, such as successfully rolling the bootloader back to D2.35, maybe there is an "older" bootloader that can be SBF'd to the phone that will allow SBF Flash restriction to be unshackled. I don't know if there is older code than D2.35 out there, as I did not spend the time looking.
PS---The "attachment"?? Just for the LULZ. And yes, it was pretty cool! And I can't wait to do this to my "bricked" Droid2!

I know how to solve, most do not know much about software to achieve

SBF download
I had the exact same problem. I had to go back to the stock 2.3.4sbf. I'm now waiting for a root or a way to sbf back to 2.3.3. If you or anyone else needs to download the sbf,
sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_droid2/list (dot) php
is where i got mine. I actually put the R2D2 flash on just for fun, but i can verify that both D2 2.3.4 files work.

Which settings should i use to unbrick my A955 .... when using RSDlite 5.7 (Flex/Flash options)

don't change default settings
or don't use rsd lite
