No. this won't work. These are .sbf files so they have to be flashed via rsdlite. They CANNOT be flashed with clockwork and will probably screw up your phone more if you do. Boot your phone into bootloader, connect to your pc, and use rsdlite to use these files.
Before you do that, though, try a battery pull. Do that a few times and it might get you into clockwork.

Sorry dude but you'll lose your Metro flash. It will have to be reflashed. If you don't want to pay to have it flashed, I would start reading some online flashing manuals.
On the other hand, does anyone know where I can get the 2.2.1 files?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

okay. so i flashed my droid with the 2.01, not knowing which version it was on before it got bricked.
the backlight turns on, but NOTHING ELSE shows up.
when i flashed the SBF to the droid with RSDLITE, the bootloader shows the SW UPDATE in progress, but it still boots to NOTHING...and when i try to go to the bootloader, all that is shown is the blank backlit screen..same when starting the droid.
i'm confused as to what exactly is missing here...the stock SBF is flashed, yet it still won't boot??
edit: tried 2.1, same problem!! currently trying 2.2...i'll update when it's done.
2.2 same problem.

Just as an alternate incase any of the links in the first post die, Peter Alfonso (Creator of Bugless Beast) has some links on his website.

Are there no files other than Verizon SBF files??????????

[Q]
can i use these to recover from a hard/softbrick do not have device yet but i am getting one in the coming days

As long as you can get into the bootloader, yes.

I downloaded each one of these and tried to do this with RSD Lite but it keeps telling me it fails.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Would someone be able to assist me?

No data
Ok, my droid lost data connection ( no 3g or 1x icon) it has just the phone´s signal strength bars,wifi works fine, and the icon only appears momentarly when I turn of data connection in wireless settings or turn on airplane mode. So I read some place that I had to run sbf files to reset radio or change radio, actually my phone has Steel Droid v.10.2 (gingerbread 2.3.7) on it.
So my question is if it´s ok to run any of these sbf files on my droid, and will it get stock radio?

That should work. It's also possible to flash the radio on its own through ROM Manager.

Anyone have a mirror for the 2.0 SBF?

[GUIDE] Root Instructions (manual method)

If you are on FW: 2.0 or 2.0.1 Read PART 1
If you are on FW: 2.1 Read Part 2
MOD EDIT: For the Telus 2.0.1/2.1 Milestones, start at Part 2.
PART 1
So you are on Firmware 2.0 or 2.0.1 and wanna get root permissions.
First thing you need is the rooted update.zip, which you can download HERE
Put the ZIP file on your SD card
Shut down your phone
Go into recovery mode by holding the Camera-Button and pressing Power-Up
When you see the /!\ -sign press Volume-Up and the the Camera Button
Select "Apply update.zip"
Your'e done
PART 2
Be sure that your phone have atleast 80% of charge.
To root a 2.1 phone we need to downgrade the recovery
For this we need a Only-Recovery SBF file which we can flash via RSD Lite
First install the USB drivers from Motorola
The you need the RSD Lite Tool | Linux machines can use the linux flasher (created by [mbm])
And the Recovery-Only SBF (which will downgrade the Recovery Partition and not the system)
Start the RSD Lite, select the SBF file
Plug in your phone (while its off)
Go into the Bootloader Mode by holding UP (on the hardware keyboard) and press Power-On for 2-3 seconds (if UP doesn't work try pressing X)
Now select your phone which should be now visible in the RSD Lite tool
Press Start
The phone will reboot 1-3 times while the downgrade process. DO NOT unplug it
When its done, you can apply the same method as in PART 1

I would update your Telus Milestone to 2.1 and then use the Part 2 method. That will work.
EDIT: The Telus 2.0.1 method requires you to flash the Brazilian 2.0.1 SPF, and then do the rest of Part 1. I would not recommend that.
However, I have a nandroid backup of a Telus 2.0.1 stock, if you ever need to restore that.
Nice work, if we keep the forum clean and add stickies like this, it will stay nice and clear.

Telus 2.0.1 was also rootable by flashing the same rootable recovery only SBF. I did it and it worked.
Indeed though, the only way back to Telus 2.0.1 is by nandroid, not SBF. But you'd have to have a pretty good reason for wanting 2.0.1 over 2.1.
After being rooted, does Android Wifi Tether work on this device?

NO, the CDMA Droid is not the same as the GSM/UMTS Milestone. We can't guarantee these methods will work for Droids. But if they do, feel free to report it!

I get the same damn error, even though I had root before updating to the newest 2.2.36 update.
does this works with a non-retail 2.1 Milestone? I got a (unlocked) 2.1 Milestone from TIM (Brazil).
Don't know if anyone notice but there's an app out to root your phone now even if on 2.1. Its called easy root and its on the market. It says its been tested on Droid and couple other devices. Just something for noobs to know and if you had questions about rooting with out computer in passed. Give it a look!

Conversations.apk!!!

Hi, i am new to rooting but figured everything out pretty easyily...i mistakenly went in to my system/app and DELETED all the bloatware(or what i thought was bloatware) before reading that i should re-name everything and there was conversations.apk. the whole problem is that i cant recieve or send mms's now through handcent and its supposedly because i deleted conversations.apk. i found some fourms on androidfourms.com about this problem and how to solve it but if was for droid x, well i went to the dump file(not knowing it was for 2.1) and got conversations.apk and it installed and i moved it to system/app and set up permissions and no application started or anything, Just took me back to home screen(i figured because it was for droid x) and my mms started working again in handcent. Well today its not working anymore because i found the dump file for the droid 2 and the problem is that i download the .apk and no matter where it is on the phone either in sd card or where ever it brings it up and it will NOT install. I tried changing locations, permissions, and nothing. I read that i cant even flash back to stock sbf and have everything back or is that when you do a factory reset? I need help because ive been getting really frustrated and maybe i just dont know what im doing but id really rather not flash back to new but if i have to then thats fine with me. Also i read that i can use adb (which i do have experience with since i used that to root my phone with so if i have to, i use it..not total noob lol) and push the file to a directory such as system/app and maybe that would work...idk... PLEASE HELP.
Sorry for such a long story... thanks for any help

Hey. Yeah... I think I was in the same boat with you when I deleted the 3G Wifi Hotspot and couldn't update.
I think it is time to try the .sbf method. I've been looking for someone to go through the tutorial and making sure everything is there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770224
Give that a go and tell me how it is. Especially if 12a works! If 12a works, you won't have to factory reset your phone! You can just flash an you'll have everything back.
Before flashing the .sbf I'd go to the Droid 2 system dump and make sure you have all the applications on your Droid so you don't get hosed on reset.
Then when your phone is reset/working just go back and rename them instead of deleting and you're safe when VZ puts out updates.
Okay, thanks. I am at work so i will have to get home later tonight and steal the computer from my fiancee and try this out..i am assuming that if i flash the sbf it will lose root? Right?

Could you explain this? Would you have to put the files from the system dump and adb push them back onto the phone in order to reflash the sbf. I just thought you could straight flash it and get everything back in place.
You can do the sbf at any time. Factory reset needs the apps, not the sbf.
Oh okay so i dont need to push any apps..only if i wanted to do a factory reset right now or something?...flashing the sbf will restore all apps and everything to new again correct? Then do a factory reset. Also this will unroot right?

Yes sir. But it is easy to root again. 2.2.20 is rootable using the same method!

I guess I just read wrong. I thought if you didn't have all of the stock apps then it would be stuck in a boot loop. (I've only had my phone for a month and it's my first Android phone.) I got the flashing and the factory reset mixed up, thanks darkonion and karnovaran.
Well I got the bomb jpg and what not and flashed back with no problems and everything is working now. Unable to root because the ./rage or whatever "app" took too long this morning before work so ill have to root tonight. Thanks for your help guys and I now have some wisdom to share with others about flashing sbf's and re-rooting. Btw, this website/app on my phone is AWESOME lol.

If I were you I'd SBF back to 2.2 then download the Full SBF 2.3.2 and flash it. At least that is what I did.
Alright, maybe a stupid question, but do I have to root and go back to factory settings in order to flash this?
I have Fission 1.2.1 installed right now, do I have to go back to install this? Will I lose all data / saved stuff?

Awesome! This let me keep my root..
Hey all. When the 2.3.2 update was released, my Droid 2 was trying to automatically download and update but it failed the update every time. Maybe because I'm rooted and I had removed several of the B.S. apps I didn't want. So I downloaded the full SBF and used RSD Lite to update it. Everything went smoothly. Now I have an issue where several times a day I'll get a toast entitled "Info: Download of update failed." If I go to settings > about phone > system updates I get a toast that says "An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete" followed by the download failed notification.
It seems like the phone is still trying to download the update even though I already have it. Any idea how to stop the automatic download? I already tried rebooting the phone with no luck. Any suggestions are appreciated!

My only suggestion is that your phone still wants to update. If you were to wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset I would think the problem would be gone.
You can Flash straight to this SBF. I started playing with roms after I got the update and basicly bricked my phone I was at the M screen or a boot loop just after and just flashed straight to 2.3.2 and it worked fine.

But I was upgrading a rom from rubix 1.8.6 to the 1.8.9 and messed it up. It was stuck at M icon forever then i started messing around with the bootloader and reading these boards. I tried flashing the sbf 2.2 and all that stuff, and couldn't get it out of boot loader. I then tried the 2.3 sbf and now it says low battery, corrupt file..... please help on how i can fix this. I am a noob when it comes to this and any help would greatly be appreciated.

You need to get a charged battery and then you can try flashing the 2.3.2 SBF again(Droid 2 only). The phone won't charge unless your phone has software on it so you need to find somebody with another D2 or a D1 or an external battery charger to get a battery with full or near full power. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804088 Read through this tutorial even if you are flashing in windows. It's got everything you need to know about SBF flashing (more for linux but the fixes at the bottom are for anytime you flash an SBF).
If you mess up an install it's always better to try and get into clockwork because unless you really messed up the install you can just get back in to clockwork and re-install and you should be fine. The best way to get into clockwork is to:
1.Shut off phone(battery pull if you need to and wait about 15 seconds so that it doesn't just boot up again).
2.(with phone completely off) plug the phone into the wall charger.
3.Now turn on your phone. (if you get the battery charge screen just press power again)
4.(wait a bit) Now you should be in Clockwork recovery.(if that didn't work try it a few more times.)

Motorola Droid 2 Bootloader and 2.2 Stock SBF's

I was searched for a bootloader SBF last night to service my dead Droid 2, and I came across an amazing site with both, 2.35 and 2.37 bootloader versions, along with the original 2.2 that was shipped with the handset on release.
http://and-developers.com/sbf:droid2
I also have a question, if I wanted to flash back to 2.2, is it the latest (2.37) that won't allow it or did 2.35 block it?
For the record, my process was the following to repair a "Code Corrupt" in bootloader on the Droid 2:
- Download RSD Lite, the bootloader SBF, and the 2.3.20 SBF from MDW.
- Turn phone on, load bootloader SBF via RSD Lite
- The phone will restart, hold "X", and boot into recovery.
- Wipe all
- Pull battery
- Replace battery, hold "Up" on power up (back to flash mode, "Code Corrupt" should be gone)
- Flash SBF
- Pull battery when completed, ("Code Corrupt" will show back up)
- Reload bootloader SBF
- When completed, phone should boot back into a freshly flashed 2.3.20
This was my process, but yours may differ slightly.

My bootloader on my Droid 2 is D2.35. Is it worth flashing it to 2.37? Is there any real difference since the kernel is locked anyway?

If it's bothering you, you can update. You can switch back and forth between them all you'd like. I've noticed recently though, older is better, especially with the tyranny that Motorola has put on Droid's recently.

No, I'm not bothered by it at all. It was more curiosity than anything.
And I agree with you on Motorola. That's why I rooted my phone the day after I got it.

[Q]How to downgrade from 2.2 froyo to 2.1 eclair

If i use jboogie's clockwork recovery on my untouched 2.1 eclair, would it be possible to recover back to 2.1 from 2.2 just using the clockworkmod? I mean, not even thinking about flashing a rom but just recovering one rom to another and vice versa?
As far as i know you can't go back to 2.1 just restoring a nandroid backup with clockwork recovery.
Consider if you want to upgrade to 2.2, you have to FLASH China froyo 0.26 or flash part of other 2.2 SBF (take a look at the jboogie3 and fritolays instructions to install their roms), no way to upgrade simply using CwM and nandroid backups thus no way to downgrade to 2.1 w/o falshing.
yes but the problem is that i can't downgrade to 2.1...last time i needed to send my defy to motorola and i really needed to downgrade to 2.1 but the phone went dead and i couldn't do anything...so how can i downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1?
I need help please...
Well, in my understandig, if you followed the instructions exactly... then you should be able to downgrade by restoring your 2.1 nandroid backup directly followed by flashing the 2.1bootonly. Or you just flash the original 2.1 (not sure).
Unfortunately your bootloader will stay the one from Froyo and that will be detectable.
I always had downgradebility in mind when flashing new ROM's because I feared I couldn't get replacement and with this instruction from Higgsy:

I thought I was on the save side. Now my phone is broken and I found out that all the precausions were useless. :|
But hardware SHOULD work with this process.
oh wait, maybe i misunderstood, are you on jboogie3? did you followed his direction (china-nandroid-bootloader)?
If yes, just falsh back to 2.1. I did it and i had no troubles.

but if you know how i can switch back to 2.1 please do tell me so that i can flash 2.2 again once i get my phone back !

dont flash that sbf. phone didnt die, it goes into a black screen because you have a non downgradeable firmware. You need to flash a different sbf.

First thing i do when i get my phone back is to flash your honey rom but problem is, i want to be on the safeside so whatever happens i can send it back to motorola with no worries. Can you tell me some 2.2 sbf versions which can be downgraded to 2.1? Please tell me in detail.

what u can do is make a nandroid back up once you get your phone back. so that when you want to go back to 2.1, flash the latest uk 2.1 sbf then nandroid restore the backup.

But i read somewhere that 3.4 is not downgradable, so is there a special version of 2.2 on which i can flash 2.1 rom? because when i flashed 2.1 on 3.4 version of 2.2, the screen went black...also tell me if i need to flash some sort of bootloader too?
if you have nandroid backup of original rom then yes it is possible .
Phone don´t even turn on
Friends, i think did a bull****. See my drama:
1) Install the normal sbf JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR_SIGN
2) Install the nandroid 3.4.2_155-Nand.CEE_DEBLUR
3) Install the fixed sbf 3.4.2_155-Fixed.CEE_DEBLUR
4) To revert to Eclair, install the original uk sbf 2.21
4) And then, the result: the phone don't turn on.
Already pullout the battery and the sim chip, and nothing happens. I connect to pc, and the led goes white, but nothing happens. I try to go into bootloader, but the phone don't even turn on.
Please, i'm desperate here. Already searched and keep reading, but find nothing that helps me in this case.
I'm waiting for someone who can maybe give me a hint, or trashed everything and must take to service.

Yes, ofmb, about 80% before the last flash. I don't know what happened, but i'm very frustated.
i think you should have skipped number 1, i think that's where you missed up,
this thread is half a month old but who knows, hehe
