So I rooted my Rogers x10a and it works great I just won a Samsung S so i'm going to be selling my X10a.. but I can't seem to get it back to stock firmware.. I tryed running omnius_se.exe. but I can't seem to find the Rogers firmware files anywhere... that will work with Omnuius

Download R1FA014, that's the one I used and it branded my phone from 3 to rogers.
i tried that and it didnt work.. theres no rogers branding on it and the phone says its a x10i.. help please?
Install this rom: http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598add6/a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK.zip.html, then use SEUS to install/brand with the latest Rogers fw.
is this for the ominus method or flash tool? i used flashed tool. is there a link that shows how to do it in flash tool im not experienced with ominous and yes i did tonnes of searching for rebranding.
i bricked my phone trying to try the ...24 root and i flashed the x10a ...14 FW and did a OTA upgrade to ...23 FW since PC comp or SEUS werent working. I just want to go back to the stock FW so i can do the upgrade to android 2.1 when it comes out.
EDIT: I learned how to do the Ominus method. Thanks a lot for the support xda devs!!!
can you share how to you did the omnius method? i need to do the same thing and flashing isnt working for me either. thanks.
Get:
http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598add6/a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK.zip.htm
Unzip both files and copy the .sin files in one separate folder.
Rename system_XXXXXXXXXXXXX.sin to system.sin
Same for userdata_XXXXXXXXX.sin
Get one of the root files for X10a (step 3a from root V1 or step4 from root V2) and copy the loader.sin (didn't work for me without this file), USBFlash.dll, X10flash.bat and X10flash.jar in the same folder.
Create DeviceID.txt with your device id.
Put the phone in flash mode, run X10flash.bat and that's it.
You will have R1FA014 Rogers branded.
Run SEUS and upgrade it to R2BA020 Rogers branded.
Sell your X10a and send me a beer.
PS: it works 100% i just did it 10min ago
EDIT: or you come to Montreal and i do it for you ... just bring me a beer.

It's XIOFUB.rar that you're supposed to use with a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK. XIOFUB contains all of the files that you're pulling from the different root files.
XIOFUB + a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK + DeviceID = Rogers
I have no idea what is XIOFUB
A link please ?

I believe that's the flash tool, its the name of the .rar file.

It's on the same page (post #3) of the Decrypted X10 ROM's found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
There you will find the ROM you need and below it you will see the flash tool.
Post#2 has the ROM's and Post#3 has the tools.
Just unRAR the XIOFUB and replace all of the .sin files with the ones from the ROM that you want.
Can anyone send me a link to instructions of how to flash the new Telstra sbf on the bell atrix, I'm sorta new to this.
If you follow the instructions in the "flashing sbf" thread, and simply replace anywhere it says a file name with the file you downloaded then you should be good to go.
Thank you!
Not sure If this is the right section but,where can I find the stock files for the fascinate 4g t959 since a wrong kernal was flashed on. Looked all over the internet but to no avail i could not find the stock files. CAn anybody help
Can anyone point me to the firmware .BUMP
T959P Alternative Firmware with TMobile
I fixed mine by flashing it to TMobile Galaxy S 4G:
Created Tar containing the following files fromT959VUVKH2_TMB stock firmware: (T959P to TMobile Galaxy S 4G.tar)
cache.rfs
data.rfs
factoryfs.rfs
modem.bin
zImage
Used the following with Odin
PIT=Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit
PDA=T959P to TMobile Galaxy S 4G.tar (created as per above)
Entered Download mode and clicked start and voila my bricked t959p was a TMobile Galaxy S 4g.
After this you can root it with the stock+Voodoo-T959VKH2.tar file. Can't find stock telus files and Kies won't detect the phone after so until someone can provide stock files no going back. Better than a brick though and everything works.
Easy Unlock after rooting too just by searching the NVram dump with a hex editor.
I did the same thing and if anyone knows where I can get a copy of a stock Kernel for the Samsung Fascinate T959P (Telus)
Many Thanks in avance
stock kernal
hey i am also looking for the stock kernal, went here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225593&page=2 bt the download file was giving me a crc error...
My Atrix came with Android 2.2.2 --- Blur_Version.4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB.
The complete name of the SBF is OLYEM_U4_4.3.5_SIGNED_USAOLYPRTGB_P026_A004_M001_H Wolympus_1g_1FF.sbf.gz.
It never received a Gingerbread OTA (we are still waiting for it in Europe)
I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader. Now it has CM7 installed and another radio.
Is it possible to flash to go back to the original SBF with Froyo, or will it brick my phone? I know that the bootloader would remain unlocked.
Another question: does the SBF also include the original Radio version? (I don't remember which one it was)
Update:
My question is generating interesting interventions, so I am going to update the most interesting facts in this post.
Yes, it is possible to go back to stock SBF with Froyo after root, unlock and installation of other ROMs, even those based on Motorola Gingerbread ROMs. You just must never install an official OTA update from Motorola that brings Gingerbread to you.
@GolfCranKinstallation flow has been:
New Telstra Atrix 2.2.2 > CM7 > Telstra 2.2.2 sbf > OTA Gingerbread and no more sbf flash from now on
My installation flow has been:
Android 2.2.2 --- Blur_Version.4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB. > bootloader unlock and root > Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 > Alien Rom #4 (based on AT&T official Gingerbread for Motorola Atrix 4G) > Android 2.2.2 --- Blur_Version.4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB. back again. I just had to unlock and root again the device, but everything went fine.
In this post @NYG-SBXLII explains how to extract an official SBF in order to generate moto-fastboot images. This is for creating sort of fruit cakes. Additionally, he explains how to just extract the Radio firmware from a SBF.
While trying some Radios out, I noticed that by flashing a CMW Radio zip instead of a SBF file, the new radio would flash but won't be overwritten again by any other SBF file. This is probably a bug of sbf_lite. If you flash again using RSD-LITE, it will work again.
Thank you all, XDA users!
Don't quote me on this but I'm fairly certain that if you unlocked the boot loader you should stay away from .sbf'ng anything but gingerbread. Check the fruitcake thread.

There's too much confusion on this topic
Once you unlock your bootloader its not recommended to flash back using spf's. If you want to go back to froyo, use fruitcake. Its the same as the .sbf but it doesn't rollback your bootloader...which its what can lead to a hard brick.
As much as I know, it will work just fine, as long as you done flash a 2.3.4 bootloader and than revert to a 2.2.2 one.

From what I understand, a fruitcake that corresponds to my SBF does not exist. Am I right?

I never installed official OTAs. I just went from stock 2.2.2 to custom ROMS.
I installed Alien ROM one time, but I don't think that it contains the malicious 2.3.x bootloader from Motorola. Does it?
How do I now which bootloader version is installed on my phone?

Yes I found it confusing and was wary before I did it. But what you are wanting to do is in fact safe. When you flash back to Froyo using sbf the bootloader will not be unlocked anymore but it will only take a minute to reflash the small unlock pudding sbf. You will not even need to run the unlock with fastboot afterwards.
I have just done this successfully. I went New Telstra Atrix 2.2.2 > CM7 > Telstra 2.2.2 sbf > OTA Gingerbread. I understand that if I flash an sbf now I will brick the phone so it's only zips from now on
Have you got the correct sbf from Firmwares Superthread?
Hit thanks if I've helped you.

As long as you have never installed a gingerbread bootloader (other then pudding) you should be fine. However if you give me some time id be willing to make a moto-fastboot flashable alternative for you just to be safe.
Also do you have a mirror for that sbf file im trying to download it but its really slow (over 12 hours)?

The only GB bootloaders I could have installed come from Alien ROM and Cyanogenmod, if any.
Thank you very much if you build it for me!
Are you downloading this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16273531&postcount=111
Unfortunately I don't know any mirror. Is it difficult to create the moto-fastboot? If you help me I may try to do that.

yes that is the file im trying to download but for whatever reason i cant download it it keeps stopping. do you already have the sbf? if so you can use dropbox or something like that to upload it somewhere for me.
also if you already have the file you can use Portable Sbf Tool to extract the contents of the sbf you can then get system webtop and boot from the file and use moto-fastboot to flash them. you can not flash a radio with moto-fastboot though. you would need to make a custom sbf that has just the radio.
once you extract the sbf you will need CG 56(boot), CG 57(system), CG 58(webtop). after you remove those files rename them accordingly boot, system and webtop. Move them to your fastboot folder and flash.
for the radio you will need to remove the rest of the files in the smg folder execpt for CG 5, RDL 1 and RDL 3 recompile the sbf. now you can flash it with rsd lite.

I would hit the "Thanks" button 100 times if I could. Thank you very much for the mapping of the smg files and for the radio trick!
The last question (I hope):
I once flashed the CWM radio N_01.100.00R from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15787709&postcount=1.
This worked fine. But, why can I no more flash other sbf radios? If I pick any sbf radio and sbf_flash it, the program will just tell me that everything went fine but after the reboot I always see N_01.100.00R as radio version.
This also happened with the new radio I compiled with your instructions. I know this is not related to the process you told me, because it happens with other sbf radios, too.

Of course:
The un-overwritable CWM Radio
My CG 5 smg
Please note that you could try any sbf radio after the CWM flash, even this one. It is the International sbf referenced in this post. sbf_flash will not be able to overwrite the installed CWM radio.

I notice you are referencing sbf_flash are you talking about sbf_flash for linux? If so that may be your problem. Do you have access to a windows OS? Try rsd lite for windows because I just flashed the file you gave me and then used rsd lite to flash back to my normal radio with no issues.

It worked with RSD Lite. Maybe there is a bug with sbf_flash, it is probably not able to flash a SBF Radio over a CWM Radio.
Thank you again NYG-SBXLII. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Flashed pudding as a mistake trying to unlock to bootloader on my Photon
and now I can't get back on Photon stock. I made previously backup and with
bootsrap able to get it to work but no WiFi.
Flashed all available sbf files but all fail, I know drivers are good because the only thing I can flash is uscellular sbf 2.3.5 and that works but sucks cuz none of the dial codes work. So what if I flashed wrong file why there is no stock sbf file and stable and intelligent RDSLite that can flash and recover the phone, is not like is totaly bricked but semi. Still able to root and bootstrap with torpedo but need Sprint original stuff back if anyone knows how please share.
Uhhhhtttt Ohhhhh.... Somebody's In Trouble....
Sorry, wish I could help...
