[Q] Want to Flash Back to Stock: SBF Question

It seems that Motorola is very close to releasing GB for our D2G's, so I want to flash back to stock to be part of the soak/launch. When I originally rooted this phone, I saved all the files needed to root/unroot/flashback, but just want to confirm that DROID2WE_X6_2.4.29_FULL.sbf is the correct file. I have seen some 2.4.3 versions, but I think I have the right file.
Can anyone confirm, please?
Thanks!

Once you restore 2.4.29 you must OTA update it to 2.4.330 for the soak test.

...or download the 2.4.330 OTA .zip file and install it via stock recovery.

please give me that DL link. i can't find it..

Well, there you go. You'll need to rename it to “update.zip”, place it in your SD card's root directory, boot into the stock recovery and choose the option to install sdcard:update.zip.

There is also SBF available that can flash you up to the required 2.4.330 without having to apply the Dec 2010 OTA. Just one step less to do plus saves some time, if you haven't already done it.

Do you have a link for the .330 update SBF?

I have the file, I don't remember where I downloaded it, it was a while ago. I will try to upload it somewhere for you tonight.

Nevermind, turns out I don't need it anymore. I hunted around a bit and found a thread over at droidforums.net that links to the official 2.4.330 SBF with RSDLite and Moto driver downloads, and a suuuper helpful tutorial. I followed each step and SBF'd to stock without a problem!
Here's the link, if the OP or anyone else wants it. (add http and whatnot, I can't post direct links yet)

P.S. sorry if this link (or another similar one) is already floating around. The more, the merrier, eh?

if we update with this does it update the baseband also ?
I am trying to find a way to get gingerbread work with cellzeolot's hack...

As it has been stated quite a few times, both 2.4.330 and 4.5.x update the baseband firmware.
Band unlock won't work on those versions.
You cannot skip baseband update.

go to the noob thread and follow the instructions for replacing files in the fxz, just use the same replace files but the indian fxz that you can download.

No problem. Just go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650 and read the section on how to flash the FXZ. make sure to look at the bottom part where it tells you to replace some files. you will need to do that. Instead of using the ATT FXZ file like they say use the one that matches your current version (SEARET I think you said) and follow the same directions, but use that file instead.

can i should replace some file in above zip? because my phone is 2.3.6
Code:
How to flash the FXZ once applying the OTA update and get back to 2.3.5, ONCE YOU UPDATE TO THE OTS 2.3.6 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH THE 2.3.5 FXZ WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS BELOW!!
NOTE: Download this file HERE -
Unzip it and move all the the items in it to the stock fxz. You might get a warning about replacing files, just click OK. NOTE that Windows might not be able to handle the size of the fxz. I have 6 GB RAM but Windows still wasn't able to perform a drag-and-drop through the fxz's zip. I recommend that you just unzip the fxz and then put the files in. (You don't have to rezip it either, RSD Lite will still recognize it and will flash faster).
You should be able to use RSD Lite to flash the file.

Yeah, I was being stupid. Was the phone originally ATT when you bought it, or was it indian. that makes a big difference. you need to know what it said under settings > about phone.
anyways this should fix it, just use which ever fxz is right (from my post in the noob thread:
just thought of an easier way to get you restored. Most of the time you only really need to do system. download the moto-fastboot utility (it's similar to normal fastboot but you MUST use it instead or it will not work) and the fxz for your region. Extract the fxz and put the system.img from it and moto-fastboot in the same folder. open a command prompt in that folder (hold shift and right click) and type
Code:
moto-fastboot.exe flash system system.img
moto-fastboot.exe erase userdata
obviously you need to have your phone in fastboot mode to do that. it does the exact same thing as rsd, just only the 2 important steps, flashing system and wiping data.)
Let me know how that works for you. It may not since you have had flash failures, but we'll see.
moto-fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=635584&d=1308928440 you should actually extract it and put all the things in it in the folder with system.img
Good luck!

Flashed my atrix 2 and fastboot fail
I bought my atrix 2 from US and unlocked it and am using this in india now. I tried to flashboot the phone with "5.5.1-EDEM-28-37-SEARET_cfc.xml". I added the new files thats available in the noob called replace.zip. I also tried the moto fast boot. Now am not able to flashboot and when i run flashboot i get this error "failed flashing process. 11/21 flash ebr "ebr"-> Phone returned fail; Phone connected" .
Please help me.

I just got my ATT Atrix 2 and I think I've already bricked it, soft at least. I used a script to go from 2.3.6 back to 2.3.5 stock, then OTA to 2.3.6, then I flashed the ICS leak and flashed SCV7, it was running horribly, kept crashing and was being extremely unstable so then I tried to use the FXZ script to go from ICS back to GB, and all my phone was doing was showing the Motorola dual core screen and boot looping or just staying on that screen I couldn't tell. I can get into fastboot, when I try to get into recovery there is an icon of a box with an arrow coming out of it and a little android and a yellow progress bar and when that finishes it goes to fastboot and it says "AP FastBoot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure) what can I do?
---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------
The battery is low going by my luck I'm going to assume the phone will not charge while in fast boot. I've been at this for way too many hours, if someone could tell me how to get this phone working I'd appreciate it.

fxz FAIL, NOT from ics.

I am attempting to flash ICS, following JIMS instructions to the letter. I was running lithium 1.3.1, and per instructions downloaded the fxz for 2.3.5, I got it from here as all other links are dead, http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php selecting the att US one. I read that i MIGHT get a warning about replacing the files with the instructed replace.zip, but I didn't get a warning. I do not think there were any files to replace, but have read on this forum someone using this linked file successfully. Can someone point me to a diff link, or can someone tell me what I should do next? The phone is on in fastboot mode, RSD still communicates, but flashing fails at 4/20 or 6/20 and I dont wanna turn it off for fear it wont come back on, but i have not gotten passed step 6/20 on this original fxz back to 2.3.5. Is there a step i am missing which is not in Jims instructions?

MD5 the 2.3.5FXZ that you have and see if it matches Jim's MD5: 5bd615584406ba726ad7d49a225dd6f1
If it does, just add the files from the replace.zip I attached and you should be good to go.

If those are the 2.3.6 files, it will not match my MD5, since that is for the ICS files, to get off of ICS back to 2.3.5... and that is dangerous right now....

The help is greatly appreciated. What i think i need now is an MD5 for the proper fxz for 2.3.5 or another link for this file, the only link working for me may be bad file.

Rebooted phone, attempted again, flashes all the way to system.img, but at 15/20 boot.img fails.
I can still reboot and get into ap fastboot mode, but says flash failed in ( ). every attempt to flash fxz stops at 15/20. I guess it could have something to do with lithium changing boot animation? have no ideas, just dont want to lose phone, another link for a good fxz 2.3.5 file would help, can anyone please upload somewhere or provide a link?

[Q] Upgrade to Jellybean

I'm rooted with the stock ROM, and my bootloader is unlocked using the Motorola website.
What's the easiest and effective way to upgrade to the newest (Jellybean) OTA update?

Also, I forgot I had rooted because I installed the OTA and tried to apply it but of course it failed.
Now when I start my phone up...it will load then a couple seconds later, it shuts down and boots into CWM.
What can I do?

Easiest way at this point is probably to use RSD Lite and wipe the phone with one of the FXZ's.
Then wait for the OTA and flash it.
You can't flash OTA's on aftermarket recoveries. You have to be on stock recovery to take the OTA......

Is there any chance you could explain the RSD steps? I'm having the same problem, unlocked through Moto's site and now entering bootloop when I try to do OTA upgrade.

Do you have RSD Lite? What step are you getting stuck on?
It's pretty straightforward IMHO. The only "wrinkle" is having to edit the .XML files - which is noted int he first post.

Well I wouldn't recommend any cspire FXZ unless you're on cspire...
You're on Sprint right? I'd grab the latest Sprint FXZ, which is currently:
asanti_c-user-4.0.4-7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14-15-release-keys-Sprint-US.xml.zip
Hopefully the Sprint FXZ for JB will land, and people can just flash straight to it

Thanks a bunch. I'm gonna go ahead and download that. It would make my life so much easier if the Sprint one was availble, but it's not so now gotta go back to stock.
When using RSD lite i just connect my phone as USB Mass storage, edit the XML file, and then load it into RSD and hit start?

Thanks a bunch. I'm gonna go ahead and download that. It would make my life so much easier if the Sprint one was availble, but it's not so now gotta go back to stock.

Yea, RSD should reboot your phone into fastboot mode and start flashing.
If it doesn't, you might have to enable adb... I can't remember as I always have adb setup/enabled

Thanks again

don't start adb from a command prompt. RDS will take care of that. USB debugging must be enabled on your phone in developer options.

I have USB debugging enabled...but my phone wont show up in RDS. The only option I have is to decompress, no flash option, no phone showing up. ADB is not recognizing phone either..

Flash ASA-14 from the FXZ's, then force check for a system update.
Looks like the FXZ for Sprint's 4.1.2 is released. Just use RSD lite and flash straight to it.
Thanks Skrilax_CZ.

I think once you get ADB to recognize the phone, RSD will as well.

Got it. Trying OTA Update now. Thanks!

Great link skillrax.
RSD l ite is really easy. You need to have fastboot installed on the PC/phone and you need to enable debugging. Then its as easy as 3 steps. Find the file, choose flash. Forget the 3rd step.... Its really easy.

Yea, I don't know what the heck I was thinking earlier... RSD uses fastboot, so you will need adb/fastboot working in order to utilize RSD.
Other than editing that XML file and getting fastboot working, RSD is quite simple to use

Hey y'all. I was going to go back to one of my early backups on the stock ICS and then take the OTA JB update but my backup from January keeps loading my most recent twisted asanti backup instead. Needless to say, my JB update keeps failing saying signature verification failed. Any quick fix or should I just push it via RSD at work tomorrow?
TIA

Thank you for alerting me to the new FXZ. It wasn't there when i checked yesterday. This new one did the job for me. I have backed it up using TWRP and I am uploading to my server for download, but I can't post external links yet.

Okay:
- I have /sdk-tools/ in my c:/ drive.
- I downloaded the Jellybean file
- I downloaded RSDlite and edited the xml file
My device doesnt show in RSD or anything.
Now what?

Sounds like you don't have the drivers. Go to motorola.com and make sure you have the latest / correct drivers. RSD is a moto program so with Moto drivers and RSD lite you should have no problem. You also need to have fastboot on both your phone and the computer.
Then you may need an xml editor to remove those files (I have to every time) and after that its really easy.
Open RSD Lite
Connect Phone
Select File
Decompress and Flash

[Q] Is my device ATT?

I know my device is not ATT (since it does not have ATT logo on it), but I am unable to flash Chinese JB leaks on it. When I try to flash it using RSD, it fails at first step. I wonder why I am unable to flash JB leaks. I am on Asia Retail Stock ICS 4.0.4 now. When I bought it from my friend, it has ICS (i dont know wch one). I soft bricked it and flashed Asia retail ICS via "restore to ICS.bat" method. After that, I was eager to flash JB leaks but never succeeded.

I think I tried flashing Asia retail FXZ after that and it didn't go past 7th step (something.cdt). Even JB leaks are not getting flashed is the proof tht worst has happened.
I will try again today and tell the result. I dont have any idea abt the region of my phone and what firmware it supports. Any help to identify this would be appreciated.

So basically this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165891 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231581 is what happened with me. I am stuck with a mismatched cdt.bin and no place to find a solution. I request @alteredlikeness or @jimbridgman or someone who knows what can be done in this case to give a solution to my problem. Thanks.

I don't know if I was on TNZ ROM when I bought it, my friend tried to install 4.3 Carbon ROM on my atrix 2 using bootstrap method. It got soft bricked. After few hiccups, we got it back running using "restore to ICS.bat" method using SEARET FXZ. I was relieved that this bat file saved us. But now when I try to flash anything using RSD, it just wont.
So answer to ur question is - we used SEARET (Retail Asia) FXZ. I still use this same FXZ. I thought of using other FXZs, but sbf droid website which hosts all the FXZs is down now. I wish somebody create a mirror for all the ROMS.
P.S: Please reply soon. Feels like Atrix 2 section of this forum is dead when we get late replies.

I guess after using restore_to_ICS.bat file, your cdt.bin number has increased and hence, you can't use any other firmware other than ICS. BTW which region's ICS are you running now?

If you've used the restore_to_ICS.bat with the AT&T FXZ in it then you won't be able to flash anything else but the AT&T firmware. This is because the AT&T firmware is the most locked down of them all. In other words, no jb leaks for you. :/
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

I am using SEARET ICS rite now. RSD lite fails at cdt.bin step all time. Why cannot I flash JB leaks when my device is not ATT?

Like I said before, your phone's cdt number has changed / increased, and hence the reason, you can't flash JB Leak which has a lower cdt number.

If you can ADB into the phone then you can just delete the CDT partition, and then RSD lite will let you flash whatever you want.
You do this, with the following:
1) Download moto-fastboot command:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953948
2) Save the exe someplace you can remember
3) Open a command prompt and CD to where you saved the moto-fastboot file
4) run the following command(s):
Code:
moto-fastboot erase cdt *NOTE this may not work and you may need to run the next command instead
moto-fastboot erase cdt.bin
5) Try and run RSDlite again and flash something and see if it lets you get past the flashing CDT.bin step
