[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
I just had to and this morning and everything worked great. I powered on the device holding power and volume up. Screen said something like RSD protocol. It was the first option. Then I plugged the phone in and RSDlite picked it up right away. Whole process took 15 minutes at most. Had to re-root but no biggie.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
What exactly is an SBF? Reading the thread tells me that it's the phone's boot file, but what do you do with it?

I assume you can use it to bring your phone back to the way it should be if you break it somehow. Is there anything else to it?

I am a noob :)

Also, what is "flashing," from an internal (phone) stand point? I know you "flash" ROMs to get the phone to load them, and by extension you "flash" the SBF to return your phone to normal... I think.

Thanks in advance :D

I also would like to know what connecting my phone in RSD mode to RSD Lite with the SBF loaded will do to my phone...

I just got my first smartphone (X2) when it was released, so I don't know much about all this stuff
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
You are right in that the SBF will take your phone back to stock but you will keep your installed apps and lose root. From there you can do a factory restore or re-root and go at it again.

If you put your phone in RSD and load up the SBF in RSDlite and plug in you only need to click start to SBF your phone. Again, you won't gain anything by doing this. This just gets you back to square one if something doesn't go right while you tinker.

Flashing just means replacing one thing with something else.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
Thank you very much for the information!

[Motorola Droid X2] DroidDont:
Unless we see a bootloader unlock/workaround, CM is doubtful.
[Motorola Droid X2] SciReal:
What does the bootloader lock do exactly? We have a permanent root right?

[Motorola Droid X2] Avelnan:
Init2 or whatever it was? Would it work?
[Motorola Droid X2] spr0k3t:
Bootloader lock keeps us from having custom roms. Without custom roms, we are stuck with the crappy motoblur for life.
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
Ummm...last time I checked, the X1 still has a locked bootload, and not only does it have custom roms without Blur, but it just got Cyanogenmod 7.
[Motorola Droid X2] taylorhome11:
Locked bootloader keeps you from having custom kernels. Not roms
[Motorola Droid X2] spr0k3t:
Ah, my bad... thanks for the clarification.
[Motorola Droid X2] slowz3r:
dont we need an unlocked bootloader to get a recovery
[Motorola Droid X2] GulMiguel:
When I posted the question about whether the guys at Cyanogenmod would do the same for the DX2, no one responded - even to this date. Don't know how to take that in a positive manner - seems like we are being blown off.
[Motorola Droid X2] bokajay@gmail.com:
I don't think we will see a custom recovery/rom/kernel until there is a Gingerbread leak for the X2. Only way to unlock the full potential of this phone is to have full support of both cores. It seems like 2.2 on this rom by default only uses 1 core. Need the Gingerbread kernel and possible unlocked bootloader to move forward.
[Motorola Droid X2] Emperorr:
Does that mean if Gingerbread for X2 is leaked before release it will be useless without an unlocked bootloader? And when it is officially released does that mean the bootloader will be unlocked so we can load it, or possibly just use it to backwards engineer a fix? I'm really sad we haven't been able to truly use the dual core or overclock it at all.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
2.2.2 still uses two cores
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Well as lovely as it is, not exactly. I was screwing around with my phone, and looked at a dmesg log I did right after boot. It shows Core0 and Core1 being activated, but quickly shutting off Core1. It does this a few times.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
Yea but you can call core 1 in programs
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
But the point is is that the system does not utilize both cores.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
We're getting off topic. I don't believe we need GB in order to get somewhere. The SBF is going to aid in the development, just no one knows when it's going to kick in. If I knew where to begin, I'd help in a heartbeat.
[Motorola Droid X2] cjm2576:
So I understand ('cause I'm a newb) to truly return a rooted Android to factory default I need to both flash the SBF AND reset to factory within the phone?

What happens if I factory reset my phone that's been rooted and had some apps frozen?
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Any frozen apps become unfrozen, all user apps and data will be deleted. Root will remain.

[Motorola Droid X2] falconfan101:
how do you enter recovery mode after sbfing it wont allow me to install recovery again. help!!

i cant activate the phone

is it because i removed root?
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
If you're talking about the recovery app, you are right. When you sbf you keep your apps but lose root. just gingerbreak again :-)
[Motorola Droid X2] falconfan101:
yeah but can i do that to factory reset so i can activate the phone again?
[Motorola Droid X2] DJJasonK:
Don't flash atrix recovery.

Just curious as to what would happen to my x2 when if flashed the atrix recovery from rom manager. I thought it might have some functionality being that the recovery came from the atrix. Phone worked fine until I rebooted it. Said "failed to boot 2 starting rsd". The above SBF worked just fine to put it back to normal. Thanks for the post.

Problems Flashing...need help

So I have a couple of questions because I am trying to flash this SBF so I can grab the new rooted Gingerbread from P3Droid. First of all when I open up RSDLite I have to change the file name of the SBF because it ends in .gz So once I remove the .gz and leave the filename ending in .sbf RSDLite then sees it, but I didn’t notice this instruction anywhere. Am I missing something?

Ok part 2...when I hold down the power button and the volume up button to boot into the bootloader it just say goes to the "Motorola Dual Core Technology" screen with "Starting RSD protocol support" at the top in white letters. Then it just sticks there indefinetely. I assumed that was where I needed to be so when I connect my phone to the computer RSD sees the phone so I should be good and hit start on RSD Lite it just shows "failed flashing process. Failed Flashing Process. (0x7100); Phone Connected.

Any help is greatly appreciated because I can't seem to get this to flash.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
The ".gz" is not a mistake. It's a zip file. You need to go download 7-Zip (search on google). The sbf that results should be over 800 mb.
[Motorola Droid X2] adrock0211:
Jeeeeez, I feel like an idiot. It's always the simple stuff. Cheers mate. The flash is processing as we speak.
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
No problem. Let my hour of confusion be your solution. I got thrown off because I remember my OG Droid, I needed to do it from XP for it to work. This works fine in Win 7 64 bit.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Don't mean to be a pest, but can someone post another link for the sbf file, please? I can't get either one to work for me. Or can anyone direct me to another source of this file? I'm trying to put on the prerooted release. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Get it from p3droid either via the TBH app or his mydroidworld post about the x2 pre root.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Thanks, tried his site but it links back to that filesonic page that doesn't work for me. Maybe I'll try his app.

Edit: Ok, that's weird. The tbh app isn't showing in the market. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
You have to buy it direct from TBH, just google TBH app and you should find it. Trust me it's worth buying it, no messing around trying to download stuff from god knows where, plus you'll get early access to any new stuff.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Good advice. Thanks

Hello I just sbf my x2 and now i am in bootloop. Anyone know what to do to get out of it? Thanks

Edit: I figured it out
[Motorola Droid X2] anonymous-x:
My DX2 told me to jump in here. thx
[Motorola Droid X2] A2Trip:
I'm sure you figured this out since your post was back in august but if anyone else runs into the bootlopp at the droid eye after SBF, you should pull battery, put battery back in after about 30 sec, hold volume down while holding power button (puts phone into recovery/fastboot) press volume down until you see android recovery, press power, wipe cache, wipe data, reboot system and all should be fine. If not...another SBF flash would probably be your next step and redo everything. Hope this helps some.

I'm not sure what a CWM is, I have no idea how to safely deodex my phone, so I'm a little leery of doing this. Is there anywhere I can get good instructions?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DyMiC:
I'm brand new to the Thunderbolt. Coming from the DX. I'm rooted and S-OFFed. I'm ready to ROM. I'm just scared to try anything. I HATE Froyo with a passion, and I want Gingerbread, but I'm scared to try anything because of this possible Bricking situation.

Things I know I want in a Rom:

Sense

Gingerbread (2.3.4 if possible)

AdBlocking Scripts

Script to ZipAlign all user apps on every boot

Custom Boot Animation Scripts (The Thunderbolt Animation is just OBNOXIOUS)

CM7 Like Power Toggles in the Notification Bar

I just don't wanna get one of these roms and brick my phone.

Also... one other question:

On the DX... if something went wrong... we could just SBF back to Stock out of the box firmware. Is there something similar for the Tbolt?

or

3. just delete all the threads

4. move their threads to the sensation section

Here are the Evo3d stock file contents of the SD CARD as you would get with a new phone coming from Sprint. Just format the card and copy only the contents inside the SD directory to the card and boot your phone for a full stock experience with the Green Hornet movie and other files.

Please do not flame me if this is in the wrong section. I thought the development section may be appropriate for this content, given so many may want to have access to it. Thank you.

Directions:

1-Unzip file to directory

2-Open SD Directory

3-Copy all contents of /SD directory to cleanly formatted SD CARD

4-Enjoy

Remember, you will need to have hidden files and folders enabled through tools to view the hidden files located on the root of the SD card zip file to have a full transfer of all content.

[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
You are in the same situation as me then. I have a 16GB SD card, that I put into my Evo3d. I took my 16GB card from my previous phone and backed it up to my computer. Wiped the 16GB card with the phone and put the files in my original post onto the SD card. Its like having a stock 16GB SD card, instead of a 8GB SD card. If you need things off your previous card, I would recommend, that you pick and choose what you want to keep and learn what paths HTC vs other companies may use for their files to be stored. It is different for each of them. You want to keep Titanium backup files then you are safe, cause the program was downloaded from the market and can the transfered just like you see it on the SD card (Dont really recommend this) but if you want to view video/pic files, then my need to be placed in a different place than your previous phones manufacturer.

If you have trouble with music or pictures, take a pic with your new phone, find out where the files are saved, and copy the files you already pulled from your backup of your SD card before you formatted it.
