When the ota hit my droid 2, I couldn't update because I deleted all those stupid apps like vznav, blockbuster, amazon mp3, etc and couldn't upgrade without reverting my cell to stock. I hear that if you have a rooted droid 2 with just some rooted apps and haven't deleted anything, you can use the ota or skip reinstalling 2.2.20.
I understand this is a common issue right now so here is how I did it successfully.
First Download these files as they are ABSOLUTELY necessary.
Motorola drivers for omap 3630
RSD lite 4.7 & patch (4.8 and 4.9 didnt detect the device on my pc)
2.2.20 firmware (stock at launch)
2.3.20 firmware (latest)
2. Install RSDLite by double clicking the RSD Lite.msi file you just downloaded.
3. Once RSD Lite is installed, copy the pst_flash.ini file you downloaded with the RSD Lite install file and paste it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola\RSD Lite OR C:\Program Files\Motorola\RSD Lite depending on where your computer put it when installing. Allow it to overwrite the existing pst_flash.ini file.
3. Unzip the drivers folder you downloaded (32 bit OR 64 bit), then double click the Motorola Consumer Driver Installer application and install the drivers.
4. Plug in your phone to the computer via USB cable and pull down the notification bar and choose USB connection as PC Mode.
5. Open the RSDLite program by right clicking it and selecting Run As Administrator.
6. Click on the “…” button next to the filename box and select the DROID2_X6_2.2.20_SHADOW_BP_C_01.09.05P_P2_USERBLD_SECURE.sbf file you downloaded earlier.
7. Once it is selected, hit Start and wait for it to finish flashing the phone.
8. Once it is done, click on the “…” button next to the filename box again and this time select the BL_D235_cdma_droid2_Consumer_replacer_HSPart.sbf file you downloaded earlier.
9. Once it is selected, hit Start and wait for it to finish flashing the phone.
10. Once both have been flashed, your are back to the stock Android 2.2 firmware.
11. Load in recovery mode and reset to factory default.
You can either upgrade now over the air or you can load the sbf for 2.3.20.
1. Plug in your phone to the computer via USB cable and pull down the notification bar and choose USB connection as PC Mode.
2. Open the RSDLite program by right clicking it and selecting Run As Administrator.
3. Click on the “…” button next to the filename box and select the VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf file you downloaded earlier.
4. Once it is selected, hit Start and wait for it to finish flashing the phone.
5. Bam you have 2.3.20, now you can do a recovery factory reset and do your thing.
From what I have seen on the web, you can't use this sbf if you installed the OTA cause it will brick your phone but you can reflash this sbf if you upgraded using this sbf.
I do not know if you can just take your rooted phone with deleted apps and flash the 2.3.20 over your current 2.2.20. I do know the process I used worked without a hitch.
Edit: Hey guys, after the patch I noticed bad battery life and my battery monitor wouldn't open. Apparently you will need to boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition. All the links work.
Thanks for taking the time to write this up ! Much appreciated =)

so does this mean if i'm on 2.3.20 and want to go back to stock( and reflash to 2.3.20 is impossible??.... I'm doing this because i went directly from fission 1.2.1(stock band) to 2.3.20 and just want to make sure whether i have the latest kernels
This isn't entirely correct. If you use the 2.3.20 FULL FLASH SBF, you do not need to restore back to 2.2.20, or reinstall any missing applications. The full flash is the entire stock sytem, as well as the bootloader and the kernel. So you can start from any D2 on any previous firmware with any modifications (removing apps, installing custom ROMs, etc) and if you hook it up to RSD and use the most recent full flash it will restore you back to stock on the newest kernel/baseband and restore all missing applications, everything. The full stock flash will take you back to stock regardless of the state of your D2, including if it is bricked and stuck at bootloader. The extra steps are not needed
Also, RSD 4.8 and 4.9 do work, provided you have the latest motorola moto connect drivers installed. If you are having connection issues with RSD put the phone in bootloader mode (not recovery) before you connect it to the PC.
You were correct in stating that you can not receive or apply the OTA by itself without having the original system with all pre-installed apps intact.
is there a way to go from 2.3 to 2.2, like the original kernel and radio, baseband that most people were running like a month ago. im trying to sbf form 2.3 to the older one and i keep getting errors is there any way i can go back?
Not currently. The bootloader has been updated and will no longer accept the old kernel.

I gotcha, well it works exactly as stated so it was safe and is safe to do it the way I flashed. I will edit the sticky though to remove irrelevant info. Also reflashing the 2.3.20 sbf after flashing once yielded no errors. I'll edit the op.
Well I ran into big problems. I had 2.2.20 and wanted to sbf to 2.3.2 and it worked all the way up to downloading ram to bootloader and froze and got stuck and I sbfd back to 2.2.20 with no errors. Now my phone says the system is 2.3.2 but the baseband is still .05 and I tired to flash sbf to 2.2.0 today and I got the same downloading ram to bootloader and now I can't get even 2.2.20 to run on the phone. With this being said I got stuck on the bootloader screen(told me there were some errors and battery okay and plug in usb) so I figured id try to sbf to 2.3.2 and it came up with the same error of "downloading ram to bootloader and froze" and the phone restarted but now the M showed back up and is running normal now with the system 2.3.2 but still old baseband so idk what went wrong and why it wont let me get past downloading ram to bootloader. What's wrong because I've tried several times now and I just want the new baseband and bootloader. Please help me

you cant downgrade from 2.3.20 to 2.2.20 because of the updated bootloader. What OS are you using? What rds are you using? did you copy over the fix into the rds directory? You may have bricked your phone by tryin to downgrade =(. Have you tried loading your phone into recovery?

FYI, I did the full flash for 2.3.20 because the automatic update kept failing. Not sure why it didn't work - I had rooted the Droid2, "removed" a few annoying apps by renaming the adk and odec files to .bak. I unrooted it and tried the auto update again but it failed. Not sure what was making it fail, but rather than put all the apps back and try letting the phone do its thing, I used the method above - just using RDS Lite to flash to 2.3.20 without doing the previous steps.
It worked fine, but I had to dial *22899 to re-activate the phone afterward.
So far so good, but I'm not sure that rooting the phone and messing around with it, to the tune of a few good hours of my life, was worth a little bit of battery life, especially considering the 2.3.20 is supposed to fix the two problems I had with the Droid, namely poor battery life and email sync problems after inactivity.
thanks for the how-to! i flashed straight over from a rooted 2.2 phone to the new version as well.
i did experience force closes on the battery monitor as well, and clearing the cache did not fix that. i cleared, rebooted, and when it still didnt work, i flashed the phone once more and all is well. did not need to clear cache a second time. im a rookie still at all this, so bear with me if my reply seems obvious- or doesnt make sense.
i also had to reactivate the phone with the *# referenced above.
thanks again!
Had no problems updating from 2.2 to 2.3 using only the 2.3 SBF. Worked great and kept all other settings intact.
To fix the battery monitor force closing issue; just plug your phone into the charger while it's on! Fixed the issue right up for me!
hi i need help i recently downloaded an app called pimp my rom...pretty cool i made some changes and rebooted my phone.. i did this for about 3 time and my phone seemed faster ... but i was tweaking with it and rebooted and i got stuck on the rethink possible screen, so i did i factory reset phone booted up fine ...then i got an error (system ui has stopped working) i clicked ok then got another error (setup has stopped working) now i stuck here.. i have the stock ics file on my computer but i have no custom recovery on my phone so i was wondering if i could flash it using the stock recovery or the pc software... but i don't quite know how to can some one please help me, I'm new to forms

Try using RSD lite and flashing anyone of these ROMs depending upon the region your phone is from
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php (it has the list of all available stock ROMS)
You can find RSD lite on this link http://www.mediafire.com/download/5mvfxv88twuvh34/RSDLite5.7.msi

Hello
I use a ROM with XT897 CM10.2.1 and SIM MOD CornholioGSM since July 2014, it was working fine.
I flashed the ROM-cm-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E 12.1-20150901-xt897 (RELEASE) one month ago and the ROM worked well. A week ago, the phone was much slower, I turn off reboot and since it constantly!
I made the following transactions with TWRP:
- Reset factory
- Flash ROM (cm 12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E-xt897)
- Flash ROM (BlissPop-v4.0.1-xt897-OFFICIAL-20150917-1514)
- Flash recovery (cm 12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E-xt897-recovery.img)
- Flash TWRP
- Flash ROM (cm 12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO339-xt897)
Always the same, I have the boot logo and the logo of the ROM and the phone reboots.
The ROM (CM12.1) has started once and then restart the phone has rebooted repeatedly.
I tried with or without a SIM card.
I do not understand where does the problem, can you help me?
Well not having the phone in front of me, I don't really quite understand the issue myself - however, I would suggest using RSD Lite and one of the FXZ files to flash everything (including recovery) back to stock.
If you still have issues, there is a bigger problem (likely hardware failure).
Hello
sorry if my explanation was not clear.
I added a photo which shows the two steps in the operation of my phone.
Step 1: Start the phone .
Step 2 : boot ROM CM12
The Step 2 lasts 23 seconds then return to Step 1 and Step 2 and Step 1, Step 2 infinitely .
I hope this is understandable .
I read on the forum that used some RSD Lite but as I had not used for the ROM installation, I did not understand why use .
I'm a new user, i can't post picture, I send link by PM, thanks.
I thought my last post made it clear what purpose RSD Lite and the FXZ files are - they restore the phone to stock completely - ROM, recovery, everything will be reset to when it was stock from the factory (granted it may be a newer image than what shipped on the phone, but you get the point).
Again, as I stated previously, if you still have issues after flashing everything stock your issue is likely not software, but hardware.
I searched the forum about RSD Lite. Now I understand its usefulness.
I used RSD Lite to flash the ROM asanti_c_sprint-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5-6-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip
My phone had with SPRINT .
The flash went well but unfortunately I still have the same problem :
Step 1: unlocked bootloader screen
Step 2: The red M MOTOROLA
Step 1, Step 2 , .....
Is there another test or I can consider it a hardware problem ?
Hardware problem can come out of the MODSIM ? I use a SIM card in the phone for 16 months.

The hardware issue is likely not related to the SIM modification. As to what exactly has failed, I'm not sure... perhaps the NAND or something else memory related.

Thank you for your help.
I think it remains for me to search for a motherboard for photon Q.
Long life in the forum!

I had a similar incident a few days ago. I have a hard time stopping myself from pushing the limits. Usually I stop when it's broken. I tried RSD Lite, SDB sideload/ flash, zip install from recovery, fastboot(mine's dead), all with no luck.
Any how, If you have CWM, temporarily change to TWRP. If you already have TWRP it's easier.
XDA has a TWRP recovery image in the forum. Put that in your sdcard (I had to paste it from my computer because my xt897 was soft bricked). Flash from TWRP.
Worked fom me. got my phone back after 1 week of flashing everything and then some.
Good luck.

Hello
thank you for this new information.
I tried it and it worked with the ROM [PQ_ICS-Stock] but only with that one!
I tried the ROM [PQ_JB-421] , several Cyanogen ROM but still the same looping boot problem.
I tried several version of TRWP without success .
I do not understand why my Photon Q only works with this ROM [PQ_ICS-Stock] .
Is still a motherboard problem ?
Hello everyone
I'm going crazy !
As I had not managed to solve my problem, I ordered a mainboard on ebay.
Today I realized the SIMMOD on this new board.
when I restarted phone the same startup problems with the ROM SPRINT !
I unlocked the bootloader .
I installed TWRP 2.7.1.2
I installed CM12.1-20151219 - NIGHTLY - XT897
Still the same problem starting loop.
Someone an idea ?

If you can't RSD Lite, something is up. Either you are not doing the process correctly, or there is something wrong with the device (still).
Perhaps you were always on ICS and never made the official jump to JB? You say you can RSD Lite to an ICS version, just not a JB version? So 4.0.x works but 4.1.x does not?
Again I'm talking stock. If stock doesn't work, I wouldn't even attempt CM. Start with the basics, then work your way towards the aftermarket.
I agree that if the stock rom does not work after the installation with RSD Lite is that it remains something (software) .
The first motherboard I used 12.1 CM for several months it is that the phone supports android 5.1
I agree that it must abort running a stock ROM before flashing a ROM CM. But the ICS ROM STOCK works!
It is possible that I did not do the process correctly .
What surprises me is that the second board had the same problem with the ROM SPRINT !
I will do other tests.

This is the part that makes me think you are perhaps missing some step in the process somewhere.
Can you RSD Lite to ICS? Not flash it with TWRP. If that is successful, try to RSD Lite to the latest JB again.
I modified the second motherboard ( mod sim card ) and I started the phone with the ROM SPRINT and I got the boot problem repeatedly.
the common point of two motherboards is that they both have a bad ESN .
I will do other tests.

Bad ESN shouldn't prevent booting... it would prevent you from activating the device on the Sprint network, but I would imagine you don't care about that...

I used RSD Lite 6.1.6 for flashing the ROM [ 2014-03-09 - TSv2 ] but the process has blocked after the flash.
Here is what I did :
1- run RSD Lite
2- Start the phone in FASTBOOT mode.
3- usb phone connection to PC
4- opening of the ROM [ 2014-03-09 - TSv2 ] and "uncompress and start flashing"
5- flash goes well
6- the phone reboots => Logo M red => telephone reboot => Logo M red => again ....
7- RSD Lite waits for the restart ... [ it waits again, LOL ]
8- I turned off the phone and I unplugged.
9- I turned on the phone who start properly, I arrived at the language selection screen .
The ROM is an android version 4.0.4 , I think you know this ROM .
Why the process with RSD Lite has blocked the phone to reboot ?
That's what I did wrong in the process?
I have read many forum post, I tried several methods but only in the ROM 4.0.4 STOCK work. Flashed with RSD lite or restoration of a backup with TWRP.
I have the bootloop problem using RSD Lite 6.2.4 for ROM 4.1.2 CSPIRE or ROM 4.1.2 SPRINT. No error message of RSD lite. No error message of phone.
I've modified the XML file but it changed nothing.
Same problem using TRWP with custom ROM or restoration of a backup ROM4.1.2 JB.
Same problem using OPEN RECOVERY 209 with custom ROM.
Where is the problem ?
I would use CM12 ROM.

Without having the device in my hands, it's hard to say for sure. The only difference I can see you are doing differently from me is using a newer version of RSD. I doubt that would be an issue, but may want to try other RSD versions.
In the end, I suppose if 4.0.4 works, use that...
Thank you for you help.
I'll buy a other PHOTON Q on EBAY.

Hey all, need some advice... I recently rooted my phone and found it wasn't for me (way too many apps stopped working). Because of this I tried to unroot the phone, but got stuck in a boot loop and had to recover from scratch.
Anyways, I'm running stock now and the system is back to being rooted. Problem is, I can't seem to update the phone. I'm not getting an error message either. Both Smart Switch and the phone simply say I'm up to date, but I'm on APB7 when I should be able to get APD3.
Is there anyway to fix this? Will I need to factory reset the phone? I'm not sure how to get the phone to recognize an update now.
Same here. I rooted my phone, installed TWRP but battery drain and apps not working properly made me go back to stock. Now I cant get any updates. I flashed APEQ fw yesterday dated June 8 but still dont get the June 17 updates.
I used Smart Switch to do an Emergency Reinstall of the firmware. Had to start over from scratch with my phone... It installed the lastest firmware though.
Been researching as much as I can online and it seems the consensus is simply unrooting the phone does nothing. You have to factory reboot. Tripping Knox won't stop you from getting updates but an unrooted phone that wasn't factory reset still won't get updates. Fun times. Last time I root my phone... Things aren't the same since I last rooted in Android 4.0. Now too many apps and updates etc. check for root and stop working if they detect it.

I used the Emergency Recovery function of Smart Switch which, from my understanding, is basically the same thing. I know how to use ODIN but it seemed a better idea to go with the official solution. Guess I'll find out if it worked once the June update is available in Canada.
I recently rooted my phone to try and recover some deleted pictures after the phone completely crashed and wouldn't load up , I have tried to install an original firmware using Odin but I keep getting the same message about not being authorized . Am I installing the wrong files or am I not doing something thathat causes it to fail?
Where did you download the firmware? Are you sure you're using the correct version?
Are you on a G930T or a G935T?
I had the same problem on mine before, what solved it was downloading a later version of the firmware, as you can't downgrade just like that.
You can download the latest firmware from Sammbile. (I would link but I have less than 10 posts.
The T stands for T-Mobile, and the 930 is the regular, 935 is the edge. If you're not T-Mobile, you're in the wrong section, but I'm still glad to help once I obtain more information.

I had the same problem on mine before, what solved it was downloading a later version of the firmware, as you can't downgrade just like that.
You can download the latest firmware from Sammbile. (I would link but I have less than 10 posts.
The T stands for T-Mobile, and the 930 is the regular, 935 is the edge. If you're not T-Mobile, you're in the wrong section, but I'm still glad to help once I obtain more information.

Always flash the most recent firmware becasue if you don't remember chances are you can flash an old version and run into issues, so to be safe flash the latest available firmware. Also when you first rooted did you change the CPU governor or run/install anything that could have caused the bootloop in the first place?

You can install this awesome rom to speed things up don't worry it's a stock rom so no Knox trip. The link I will provide also has instructions. So to get started I recommend making a backup of applications with titanium backup which might require the pro so unfortunately you may have to buy a full version( if you don't want to spend money you can patch the app with lucky patcher). And I recommend checking out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...stockdeodexeddebloatedrom-7-10-t3415952/page1
It is somewhat debloated and has the best speed I've seen yet... Ive been using it for a month now and I love it!
