I made the mistake, using rdslite replaces the sbf, my droid 2 global is updated to 2.3.3, by 2.4.29 sbf.
anyone have the latest version of android 2.3.3 sbf for droid 2 global?
sorry for my English.
Motorola has not released the SBF of 2.3.3.
English is not my native language too.
2.3.330 is the newest SBF, you can delect 2.29 now.

This is for those who have updated the phone via OTA to .629 and then tried to sbf back to an older sbf resulting in a soft brick. Anyone else plz do don't attempt this since there is a good chance you will brick your phone. They did this on Droid X to get root on the new update, basically they used Milestone X sbf that can be rooted and flashed it over. Maybe Droid2Global could use Milestone 2 sbf files. We could use this to get root and unbrick some devices. Download 2.3.4 or above since it maybe has a chance to flash successfully on our phone. link for sbf files http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
the droid x and milestone x, are almost identical, just different radio
the D2G and milestone 2 have different radios, processors and maybe others
edit: it seems that motorola only use the OMAP3630-1200 processor in the D2G
milestone 2 has TI OMAP3630-1000
I did find a 4.3" MOTO™ ME811(motorola shadow) with the same processor TI OMAP3630-1200
not saying it's an option just interesting

read how droid x users did it @ rootzwiki
there are lots of SBFs here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
Without .629 sbf, is very danger to try that

I think no matter OMAP3630 - 1000 or OMAP 3630 - 1200,the driver is the same, if someone really want to try this way to save soft-bricked , I prefer use milestone 2 sbf to use dx 's...
BTW ME811 is DROIDX in china, use uim card

The droid X approach was from a working phone right (using the .621 SBF if needed) and part of the trick was to keep the working VZ radio version (so using Linux SBF rather than RSDlite). On a softbricked D2G, do we know if the radio is intact after the failed SBF?

It should make no difference if the phone is working or not, important thing is to find a sbf that will flash on our phone. You would need to use Linux to keep the radio yea, but even if you use RSDlight it should flash fine but you will have a different radio. Too bad we don't have a sbf file yet, I want to try to install milestone rom since i live in Europe. It can be rooted and is better for a GSM Network.
ok im giving this a try ! i will keep you posted
Good Luck
Im not sure if this is in the wrong section, but im freaking out. I recently installed ROM Toolbox and changed the font on my phone. It has worked once before, but now when I tried it is stuck in boot. I can enter recovery and fastboot. I looked online and saw that there is a tutorial for flashing back to stock ics. Im scared about doing that as i recently learned that the bootloader is locked. If its not locked, would be this be the correct thing to flash 6.7.2_EDEM-18-SEARET_cfc.xml.z***ip. Here is the sight that has all the stock roms (not letting me post links yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you somehow post the file because the site is not letting me create an account?
The site keeps saying that it has an active policy against spammers? Can anyone post a file?

I guess, since your post count is low (< 10). This is the reason you are being prevented from attaching a file.
Just grab your fxz file from here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
That is where all the fxz files are stored and you do not need an id/login to DL them from there. This is the link we always give people.
Just load the fxz file into RSD lite and flash it, and you should be good. Just wait for a while, it can take several min. to flash. Wait until RSD lite says PASS. Your phone will reboot several times while it flashes, that is normal.

Since both of the Phones have almost same hardware specifications,
So, My Question
IS IT POSSIBLE TO FLASH SBF AVAILABLE FOR MOTOROLA ELECTRIFY 2 ON MOTOROLA ATRIX 2. IF YES, THEN PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME.
For SBF Repository, google "Droid-Developers SBF"

No it is not possible, the bootloaders are different and RSD lite will do a bootloader check, and not allow the software to flash to the atrix 2.
You should ONLY run software meant for the Atrix 2 on the Atrix 2.

You are right, it did not allow me to flash firmware meant for Electrify 2 on Atrix 2.
Is it not possible to fool RSD lite with some sort of trick, like replacing only few relevant files to acceptable extent in the SBF bundle meant only for Atrix 2, with files from SBF bundle for Electrify 2, and changing MD5 Hashes in the .XML file as well, and then try flashing them using RSD lite on Atrix 2?
Which files does RSD lite refer to validate SBF for a particular model?

Look if you keep going down this path, you will likely brick your phone.
If you don't like the stock atrix 2 ROM run a custom ROM from the dev section... Much safer.
You can't run software from other phones on the atrix2, even though they seem very close spec wise, there are things that are different enough to cause problems.
It is just not a good idea to do this, you will end up crying.

NO, I like the stock ROM for Atrix 2 very much, but Motorola would not release update to Jelly Bean for Atrix 2, that is the reason why I WANTED to try Jelly Bean ROM for Electrify 2 on Atrix 2, for that would be stable and final, better than the leaked test build of the Jelly Bean ROM available for ME865, I have tried that but downgraded back to ICS.
If other ROMs can not be installed on Atrix 2 because of the locked bootloader, then how can I install custom ROMs and which one?

I already have, even before starting this thread, bricked my phone. Sad! But no worries my phone still comes in warranty, I have sent it for board replacement.
I swapped the files but forgot to update MD5 hashes in the .XML, this I noticed later.
Flashing process started but aborted in the middle due to mismatch of the hashes, leaving my phone useless.
So I don't know if I would have changed the MD5 hashes along with the files, what might have happened?
1. Hard brick
2. Soft brick, which could be fixed the same way
3. Soft brick, fixing which could lead to hard brick
4. Everything worked, but the phone model changed
That is why I asked which files need to be same in the SBF bundle and which could safely be swapped.
If you have international version of atrix 2 why not flash JB leak?

Bro not trying to be rude here but the things which you are trying to get into many others have already tried much more and bricked many phones and no one other than Jim knows better about this.So if a person keeps on telling you you're gonna get into trouble either listen to him if you think he has enough credentials or just stop repeating the same things over and over again.It may be fun to try new things out and knowing that even if you brick you can always get a replacement but these things are not new or logical.
From the looks of it(not being judgmental here )you don't have a very good knowledge about bootloaders,kernels,ROMs and stuff related to Atrix 2 atleast.And AFAIK it can't be explained in a post.
The things you're trying might have a possibility on other devices but this is Atrix 2 you're taking about(Hell i've even grown tired criticizing about this goddamn phone) so it's better to just forget about it.
The simple logic behind ROM flashing is that they don't change the bootloader.

Locked Bootloader sort of things, Yeah... I have come to know.
Might have a possibility on other devices? Which ones, might I buy one of those with more possibilities and tradeoff Atrix 2.
