Hello all -
I have a DX running CM7 that I may need to return to OTA firmware and unroot. I searched but can't find anything specific to this device... 'lil help?
Google on how to SBF. There are many guides, and SBFing is a process that will return your device to complete stock.

I use sdlite4,8 for droidx to sbf that might be out a date is there a better sbf method?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
The Linux method is all ways better than using RSD Lite. I don't always SBF with RSD Lite, but when I do, I use RSD Lite 4.9. It works for me.

I tried Linux before, I couldn't figure it out its been along time since Ive been using miui for about 3 months and haven't had to sbf in a while. I have a tf101 also been messing with it since Christmas how do you like it what are you running

I got it using RSD Lite via Win7.
The flash itself worked perfectly, although it would go into a bootloop on the final reboot. I had to clear caches using the stock recovery and all was well.
Thanks again guys, sometimes it just takes the right search terms to get everything squared away.

MIUI is seriously great. I've been using it since it's inception. I actually haven't even rooted my TF101 yet. Stock runs so smooth, it's unlike anything Motorola has ever released! I am contemplating rooting to install Ubuntu and maybe try out the Revolver rom.

My setup -froyo, rooted and themed (no rom). 07 bootloader.
Tried to go to. 588 by three step process..... FAILED (error 7)
Tried to go to. 596 tbh 2 step method..... FAILED
Tried to sbf....... FAILED ( used 2 diff versions of rsd and downloaded full sbf 2 diff times)
Tried to take the OTA...... FAILED
The only good in all of this is the fact that I could restore my backup with nandroid, and I really don't mind froyo. It's been pretty good to me. For the love of God what have I done in a prior life to deserve this

What OS are you trying to sbf on? I had to rename the sbf and place it on the root of my C drive to get it to work
XP, it runs fine, sees my device, runs the sbf and fails at the end.

I would have to agree. I have done it twice now without any issues on my Ubuntu box. If you don't want to actually install Ubuntu you can run it off a thumbdrive or even a cd.
No idea what that is but I will do some googleing and give it a try. Thanks.

Why would Ubuntu make the sbf work? Also what is the process for doing the sbf with the operating system? Seems crazy but if it works, what the hell, I'll try it.

Because it's linux. And designed more for this kind of thing than windows.
It is incredibly simple because you enter one command in the terminal. And it just works. Pm me if you (or anyone here) want a link, the admin doesn't like me posting the site I use
Ok look for a lil help maybe advice.
I am running the first gb leak and it seems to be really glitchy now and I keep having the auto boots ,
Soo what I'm looking to know since I'm not looking for a new rom I wanna rdz or what-not back to stock gb and just root it for some apps and other persks can I use z4root by any Chance or what any detail or info would help
Thanks guys

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.......
Got this DX from a friend, thinking it might just be a SBF flash away from being fixed.
Won't boot past 'M' and couldn't even access stock recovery. I don't know what he did to it.
Anyway, I RSD'd it and it does it thing. RSD says phone rebooted and everything passed, but the phone is back at the bootloader. I pull the battery, put it back in and the bootloader is still there.
I do another RSD flash. This time it actually tries to reboot, but hangs at the 'M' again. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and it never changes and RSD says reboot manually. I do another battery pull and reboot it. Still stuck. Tried it with a different SBF for the X, same results. Battery is dead now, gonna charge it with my roommate's X in the morning.
Just wondering if anyone has come across this and knows a solution, if there even is one. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Note: I'm using RSDLite 5.5
I recommend trying an older version of RSD Lite. Try 4.8 or 4.9.

Will give it a shot when I can charge the battery, thanks!
4.8 always worked for me. You should look into 1kds linux disc as well. Once you burn it you'll never use rsd again.

Press both camera buttons after attempting to access stock recovery by holding power and home. sbf using rsd lite 4.7 grab the full
flash sbf 3.3.340 /not system only file! Should be about 486,000mb. (Might need winrar to extract file before flashing with
rsd.)
Instruction: (1)Sbf 3.3.340 full flash
(2) When rsd says manually power up the phone. Disconnect from computer, and pull battery.(3) Boot holding home and power button. Click both volume keys down to access stock recovery.(4) Wipe data factory reset.
This worked for me! Good luck.

So I tried using an older version of RSD (4.8) and got the same results, although I'm now stuck at the older white 'M' as opposed to the newer red one.
I used VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf and still cannot access the stock recovery. I'm starting to think the phone is fubar. Anymore ideas?
Gonna try the linux way in a few.
Since you have the white motorola its on 340, so thats a good sign. Did you try to burn 1kds? Google stuck at white moforola. I'm pretty sure your phone isn't fubared

I just tried 1kds with the same result. Stuck at white 'M' with no access to stock recovery. I read somewhere that this could be a RAM hardware failure, but I really hope it's not.

I'm nearly positive an SBF is the only remedy. The issues everyone seem to be having with SBFing is very odd.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
use linux ... its easy
I's guessing your sbf file is not right in the head somehow. I would try redownloading the sbf and make very sure it is for the version of bootloader you are on. ALSO might try an sbf from linux. I have had lots of problems with RSD Lite in Windows that seem to solve themselves in linux, plus with linux there are no drivers to install. I will private message you with some good instructions with a type of ALL in ONE process. let me know if u have any problems..

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.

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?

The way to get root found! Install sbf from attached archive and then use the "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" (also attached in the archive) to get root. All thanks for finding this method going to bukolov1 from Ukraine.

Why is the sbf file labeled as 809_2.3.5 if it is for the DX and supposed to be 4.5.621?
This rom is actually for the Milestone X, it does flash, however I cannot use *228 to get my phone on the network.
Has anyone tried zergrushing their .621?

This is not really a root method. This flashes Milestone X rom on the Droid X, which does actually root, but the baseband is incompatible and will not work in the U.S. So you can have a rooted phone, which you can't actually use. It might be possible to CWM over the Milestone X ROM and flash a new baseband.. if I could find one.

I have not tried it, I'm being safe and not taking the OTA.
If you are on .621, though, it's at least worth a shot.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
This method works. My DX's version is 621, you can remove RADIO in MB809_2.3.5.SBF use "SBFCodec.exe", remove RDL1 and CG3, save this file as no radio SBF, flash this to your DX, your DX will run under BP_C_01.09.15P, this is Verizon's baseband.
yup, it works.

This method does work. If you use the linux sbf_flash method it will not overwrite the baseband and you will keep your data connection. If you use RSD_Lite in Windows it will overwrite the baseband and you will lose your data connection capabilities.
I made my laptop a dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu just for this because I was stuck on .621 without root and had tried to flash the Milestone X .604 via Windows and couldn't get the data to work (I could've called Verizon support and had them reset it but I decided to give flashing in linux a go). So I followed posted instructions at the other sites and flashed it in linux and got root back with baseband still active.
Now I'm test driving a CM9 beta on it I got off of Rootzwiki. I am already up for renewal for my Verizon contract so I can get almost any phone they have for free or perhaps $100 out of pocket after all the discounts (new every two, loyalty, trade in of current phone) but I am waiting for the Droid Fighter to drop in about a month. It's rumored to be a quad-core Motorola phone with a 4.7 inch screen and 4G.
User 1KDS over at DroidXForums is working on making a bootable linux image (he already has a bunch) that will incorporate this Milestone X sbf for those of us that do not or did not have a linux machine handy.
Does petes root tool not work on this version?
