R u just searching for the SBF file so u that you can update?
...if thats the case (?), check the Development section, there is a Reference post that has all the appropriate files
reason
i want the update.zip to sit on my internal storage incase i screw up my fone too hard and need a quick way back
Well, if you screw up your phone that bad you probably won't be able to get into recovery, so you'd have to sbf from your computer. There is no update.zip, its an sbf file.

Use search.
There is no .zip for the legit 2.3.4, you HAVE to perform the sbf.
thank you for the comfirmation, i thought my google fu was strong. i guess that somethings that has to be leaked?
I could ul mine when I get home. How do I do it? Which web hoster? I have never posted a large file.
I think you can get P3droids zip, right? Or is that 2.3.3?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
even if we do have a 2.3.4 zip, doesnt the sbf still have to be done to update the kernel? other wise your just installing a 2.3.4 rom on top of 2.3.3 kernel. I could also be wrong about that.
When you UD-ota you are on 233. All the new stuff is in the update.zip that can be flashed from stock recovery.

I believe this is correct
I remember seeing in stock recovery an option for install update.zip
Idont know if this will work the same way as an sbf would, if u happen to mess something up and.need to get back. Could be worth a shot but it might also be dangerous so proceed with caution. Has anyone ever tried to do that instead of sbfing before?
Now im just curious, why is the the update 6 times smaller than the sbf. just a question, thank you for the zip, might be usefull, i was switching roms earlier and got stuck in boot up, but could acsess stock recovery, alas by then it was too late for me t find and put the zip internal. got a back up plan now!!!
I am probably wrong but I would think that its because the update.zip doesn't have the system partition and files like the sbf does. This is why I don't think it will work the same way.
FYI next time you are in a bootloop try just pulling battery and put it back in. Then plug ur phone into the wall. This brings u to the bootstrap and u can restore a nandroid or try a data wipe from there or cache/dalvik wipe. Then again I believe if a wipe was done prior to that it would have wiped recovery app settings being installed. But u may get lucky and still be able to get into it.
I have restored nandroid many times when stuck in bootloop by doing this.

I couldnt post this there, so im posting it here
I've flashed 2 other versions of this rom successfully in the past. The only difference is this time is factory reset it first. Then attempted to flash the rom. the Rom gave me an error, and thats when the bootlooping started.
I tried factory resetting, deleting cache, leaving battery out for 30 seconds.
Im stuck at the Moto screen
SO, what do i do? is there any pertinent information im leaving out?
Your going to want to flash the sbf, full instructions are in a thread in the development section, don't have access to the link at the moment I'm mobile, sorry mate.

ok.
Is there any way to make sure this doesnt happen again? This is such a process
You could also try plugging the phone into a wall when its off to see if you can get into BSR and either restore a backup or try to flash again.

It IS a bit of a process to go thorough. Part of the price to pay if you're gonna modify, I guess. If the suggestion above about trying the BSR program (Bootstrap Recovery program, also called "System Recovery" in app drawer) doesn't work for you, then SBF to stock, which should get you back live, then flash P3 rooted Gingerbread, then Eclipse. That will work. All the links with instructions and downloads have been graciously provided here by our Moderator, The Clown.
As you already know, Eclipse has loaded fairly easily in the past, and wiping data is the recommended procedure. While not absolutly necessary, it has helped others resolve problems they had after loading Eclipse in the past, so I wouldn't be afraid to do it. It's hard for anyone to say for sure why this happened to you this time. The process is a bit touchy, reqireing you to follow the instructions exactly - including, for example, plugging in the phone to a wall charger while using the System Recovery program. Perhaps you inadvertently left out some step along the way.
I dont THINK i did, but hey, i wouldnt doubt it.
Anywho, just for an update, im now pre-rooted GB, waiting for nitro to update the eclipse rom.

Back up your apps on Titanium...then wipe data/factory reset go through rooting and installing cwm after you run through all the updates.

"CWM backup, sbf, update, root, install cwm and restore backup"
why would you update to only then restore pre update?
factory reset is very misleading, it only applies to a user that never rooted or messed with their system. all it does is wipe cache/data/and dalvik. the reason why you cant update is one because you have cwm, 2 because im banking on you have missing /system/app stuff. which then fails the md5 hash check of the update.zip. i dont know what kind of issues your having or running into with sbf. but that is the only way to get back to stock.

interesting, I have used sbf_flash 5 times today - given my nand a good work out - and have yet to have a single fail...well one fail cause I didn't Su, but that was my fault. :-/
Any ways - have you tried a different USB Port and a different Cable?
I am assuming you are on windows? - could be a bad assumption but proably not.
Did you install the latest drivers?
Have the latest RSD?
Tried another copy of the SBF file? - I had one that didn't quite work right in a droid x once, bad download.

Wow, are you serious? Hmm..I'm not sure what the problem might be. Seriously, you need to start from scratch somehow...so there are 2 ways you can wipe data/reset:
1) Through CWM Recovery
2) Through Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset
Try either way first. When you tried to reset, what happened? Can you provide some details as to the Settings>About Phone? Anything for us to go on to help?

Ok rite to it I have the old cwr that came out along time ago for the x2, my question is, should I install or need to install the bsr the one signed for the x2 I know the one I have is originally for the atrix, but do I need to install this one or am I fine with the cwr I have now?.I'm thinking of flashing the new molten, I'm rooted, supercharged on 2.3.4.thanks in advanced......
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
You need both. The ReRecovery is just a flash (zip) version of the exact same cwr. You need the original to flash the new one. They work together. So while wiping data from cwr you can flash it before reboot and renew what you just wiped away. Read the 2nd post of my thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20985756&postcount=2
edit
Once rebooted you can install bootstrap again if you like. They are compatible with each other.
But you will find it will still work even though its gone. Just plug in and power off. The flashed ver runs from /preinstall and will stay untill another data wipe. Then YOU GET TO FLASH IT AGAIN!
Ok thanks I appreciate the info

Now we are able to get into it after a ROM flash or data wipe by flashing your creation.
I just can't believe it took this long for someone to create that . Good job
Now I can't wait to see if that can be baked into a ROM zip so that upon flashing a ROM, the last thing it does is install what u made so it's all just one easy step for everyone. For us forgetful types they are so used to just flashing and hitting reboot lol
Forgetting what?

To flash the BSR installer before pressing reboot.
If it was built into the ROM zip then no one would forget and we would have BSR available after every flash

I'm sorry if the answers to my question have been answered but I can't find them after searching for a few days.
I need to send my Atrix in for a repair or replacement. It is unlocked and rooted running Turl's CM9 right now. Obviously I can't send it back as is, so how should I go about everything?
Flash an SBF, flash a fruitcake rom, or something else that I haven't stumbled upon?
The only threads I could find are from a year ago and so much has changed since then. I just want to be sure I go about this the correct way. And should I go through ATT or Motorola? I know my phone is still under warranty with both.
Thanks for any help! It is much appreciated!
"Always have an exit strategy"
You can flash a fruitcake but the "unlocked" text will remain so you can hope for the best.
Or you can try an SBF (Disclaimer: at your own risk).
How long have you had it? Usually if you have had it for more than 30 days AT&T won't help but if you are still under "warranty" with them I would try AT&T first.
If you can't find a way to return your phone back to stock you can try Motorola, they might just overlook the modifications you have done.... or they might charge you a service fee...... or they might just send the phone back to you. It really depends on who ever is processing your claim and the mood they're in.
Also, please don't start multiple threads on the same topic.

Reboot in rsd mode (olding vol+ at boot) and flash your sbf with rsd lite.

Ok, you don't happen to have a stock sbf file? I can't find one anywhere.
Also, why is it that we shouldn't flash sbf files? It seems that people have success with them but everyone keeps saying not to do that. But I can't find a stock flashable zip and the fruitcake links are dead so sbf seems to be my last resort.
I'm just stuck scratching my head because of all this confusion?

Look in the firmware superthread, in the last pages someone have a link in his sign to a page of many stock sbf files. I found there my updated one.
I always got succes with rsd lite but only with a full wipe with fastboot before it say "pass" at the end. Otherwaise it say to 'manually reboot'.
Don't know why people say "do not use sbf", probably there is a reason, but i think it is the only way to remove the 'Unlocked'
Here links to froyo sbf
and to GingerBread sbf
also you need to delete any folder about apps that need root to work and su folder and anything that presume you have rooted your phone
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Depending on what build you are currently on you do not want to "downgrade". So if you are on a Gingerbread build (4.5.91 or 4.5.141) do not flash the Froyo SBF. And probably if you are on the 4.5.141 build (2.3.6), it is not recommended to flash the ".91" build. That is where the issues can occur.
I have also used RSD Lite to flash back to stock (a few times) but always use caution. So, for @scarbutt11, do you happen to remember what build you were on before you unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom ROM?

Yeah, I was running stock 4.5.91/2.3.4. I'm on a cm9 build now. I'm not sure if that will matter at all for flashing back to GB? I know I tried cm7 to see if it was just cm9 causing the problems, but it seems it is hardware related.

Yeah, it depends on what "Official" build you were last on. Since you were on "4.5.91" then I would just use that SBF. Like someone else mentioned, it is possible to use RSD Lite, just use caution.

Regarding dragonzkiller's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912280 on [ROM][ALPHA][JB]CyanogenMod 10 Alpha 3 for the Droid X2. I've rooted two devices, the OG Droid and my X2 so I'm not unfamiliar with the process but some of the items I need to get CM 10 on my X2 I'm not sure where to find. In the article it's said I need the following:
-Install the BSR (patched if on an AOSP based ROM, unpatched if on BLUR)
-Reboot into the BSR
-NANDROID
Where can I find BSR and NANDROID? I have Rom Manager and Titanium Backup Pro on my X2 currently. Rom Manager never reboots into recovery for me for some reason and TB Pro does but I don't see an option to select NANDROID.
Any help would be really appreciated! I'm tried of running 2.3.5 all this time.
Dont use ROM manager for that kind of stuff. Best not to use it at all with the Droid X2 actually. The BSR IS the recovery for the X2. It can be found in the CM7 thread. And a nandroid is just a backup of your ROM that you make yourself within the recovery. Its not a file provided. Its a good idea to backup your ROM before installing stuff. That way you can restore it if things go wrong.

Thank you for the reply jsgraphicart.
Good to know on Rom Manager, never has worked right.
I'll go look in the CM7 thread for the BSR, now that you say what it is I might actually have that somewhere after reading when it initially became available.
So if TB Pro can get me into recovery what else do so I can do a nandroid backup? I don't see an option to do that?

Good to know on Rom Manager, never has worked right.

You are probably booting into the stock recovery, which doesnt have that option. You need to install the custom recovery (BSR) to do that.

And I get the BSR from the CM 7 thread correct? Once I have that file how do I get that installed and does it wipe my phone before I get a chance to save it as is?
Thank you for your patience and help by the way!

Yes, get it from the CM7 thread. Just install it like you would install an app from your SD card. Its the same thing. Use a file browser app and navigate to the apk file then tap it. It will walk you through the rest. Once you have it installed you will have the app in your app drawer called system recovery or something like that. Open it and follow the directions to get into BSR. You have to have your phone plugged into an outlet though. Even though it says plug your phone into nothing. If your are on CM10, you need a file called hijack.zip and will have to place that in a certain location before using BSR. Check out the CM10 thread. The last few posts were talking about that. And the file was posted on the last page. I hope I'm not forgetting anything.

I'm sorry to ask more questions but I'm finally ready to update and I'm getting an error. First thing I'm wondering is this is one of those things where I have to be on 2.3.4? I'm on 2.3.5.
The error is:
assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") == 0
E:Error in /sdcard/cm10.zip
(Status 7)
Are you running CM on your X2? Why is there so little available for the X2?

I had a feeling you'd say that. Well, know what I need to do now.
Thanks again for all the assistance on this! I should be on my way now.

Well I'm here again asking/begging for assistance. I've been trying all afternoon to get back to 2.3.4 without no luck. Each time I use the CW7 recovery to apply the older ROM it just sits on installing. I'm at a loss, I've even factory reset the thing.

Got to 2.3.4 finally but trying CM10 or the new AOKP build 6 I keep getting messages about signature verification failed. I feel like I'm so close! If I could just get past this latest error.
you flash SBFs with rsd lite
or use ezSBF
if on stock 2.3.4, install bsr/system recovery not cm7 bsr
once rom is installed use cm7 bsr
watch tomsgt's videos

I should have wrote back last night but it got late, I think I ended up at the same result as you posted. That's again, I think I finally got a handle on this.
Hey there me again. It's there an equivalent of the CM7 bsr for CM10?
use cm7 bsr

I tried that, never seems to boot into it. I get it installed and says it was successful but when I hit boot into recovery it just goes to the Motorola screen and freezes.
normally even using reg bar on stock
I connect charger after phone has shut down

Wish I could say I wasn't plugging in as well but I am. So basically it should be working for me but it's not.
