OK, I have looked on the internet and have not found a clear answer. Is it safe, or even possible to sbf to stock froyo from the official ota android 2.3.3 gingerbread build for the Droid X
This thread has been up for a while, and I guess I might as well answer my own problem.maby my question will help others.Yes, you certainly can sbf flash from the gingerbread over the air build on the droid x and numerous other phones to froyo. Another phone is the droid 2 global. You can go from build 4.5.607 gingerbread to 2.4.29 froyo.
sbf stands for super base 95 file I believe
What exactly does sbf stand for?

I've been really having a hard time following the DX and D2 differences in this forum. It seems as though the DX and D2 are able to use each other's SBF. I wanted to confirm if I flash 2.3.320/2.3.340 to my D2 in addition, will it allow me to install the latest ROMS?
Thanks.
Neither one is for the D2, you want 2.3.20...
Do you have a D2G? You posted this question in the D2G section. The D2 has two different SBF's the old 2.2.0 and the newest 2.3.2.0
If you have the Update from verizon (2.3.2.0) then you shouldn't need to flash anything to install the roms and even if you didn't have the update the ROM would update your phone and you should be fine. The only thing you shouldn't flash are old roms from when we had the old Verizon base 2.2.0 because those will mess up your phone if you have the update because the update changed the kernel and some other stuff which won't allow the old one to be flashed.
But if you have a D2G, the D2G doesn't have an SBF out yet so D2G's have to be careful.

Holy crap! I didn't realize I posted in the D2G section. I have a D2, NOT the D2G. The D2G needs it's own area, not the D2 area. They are "different," so shouldn't they be separated?
Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna flash some ROMs tonight. I miss this stuff since my poor Eris took a crap.
I know 2.2 is being worked on by Dexter_nib, but will he try a Gingerbread rom for the XT720? From what I've read is the XT720 was built for 2.3 Gingerbread.

This is extremely unlikely for a lot of reasons - mostly due to a locked bootloader and no Motorola support. Right now, 2.2 is pretty much the best you can hope for from Dexter.
If motorola will update any phone to 2.3 - it maybe port to our phone.
But that unlikely for some reasons with moto...
We're struggling to have adequate quantities of RAM with Froyo, I can't imagine what type of performance we would get with Gingerbread.
Available RAM = Nope!
Dexter did this because there's froyo update for Korean XT720
and he managed to replace the drivers to fit into other versions of xt720
so, if moto provides Gingerbread update for XT720, you know that
I am going to trade in my Droid A855 for a refurbed Droid X at Verizon. Assuming it has the latest post 2.2 build on it, what would be the best way to root it once I get it, assuming it can be done?

No replies?
z4root is probably your best bet, which can be found here on XDA.
Do it
z4root.apk is the best and easy way of doing it. also official firmware is 2.2.1 but there is a leaked gingerbread 2.3.3 running amazing way better then 2.2.1. you will hate 2.2 but moto did a really nice job on 2.3. its very easy to root and flash
So I SBF'd my DX to 2.3.340 successfully with RSD Lite... but it keeps coming up with 4G after the SBF. Since I have 3G, I cannot use internet or connect to Google or anything! How can I SBF to 2.3.340 with 3G? Or is there an easy fix I'm not aware of?
Umm...what? What do you mean it's coming up with 3G? Did you use the correct SBF file?
Forum mod, please move this to the appropriate Droid X forum also, probably...
It doesnt come up as 3G (which I need) It is an SBF for 2.3.340 4G. I have downloaded about 10-15 different SBF files and all are 4G. Do you know of another one for 3G? Because I have looked for about 5 months now.
curious
That doesn't seem right considering the only "4G" motorola devices are with sprint and not verizon do a bit more research it shouldn't be too hard to find.
**SOFTBALL**
Google 2.3.340 sbf for droid x first site click and you're good to go
I need a stock sbf for defy 2.2.2 for a usa phone English with blur and without. Or a stock 2.2.2 in .zip format too for 2indint or CWM to use for the Bravo. 1 guy had it in our section but lost it. I'm working on it now and need to start from scratch. It would really help us all over in the Bravo forums because we're haveing camera issues with GB and ICS.
