Please let me know were I can get it.

Do you want the stock *.SBF? I have the zip at work. The instructions wipe everything, including root and unlock, and put your phone back to the day you walked outta Sprint? I only have it because I had Emergenccy yesterday.
Anyway, send your e-mail to [email protected] and I will see what I can........Matter fact, deedscreen sent me different link to download. send me your addy.

Unlock/Relock methods (takes you to post #6 or scroll down a little)
Root/Unlock/Relock Method and Files
Root-Unlock-Relock Pack 1/26/12
Download the Root-Unlock-Relock Pack and extract using 7zip. In the zip you will find all the files needed and the instructions. The only thing it doesn't have is full stock SBF's which can also be downloaded from my site.
ive downloaded all three of these files and they contain the stock image but when extracted it gives an error and says it doesnt exist. the other files extract fine???
edit: nvm had to use 7zip. winrar was giving me errors.

Hi guys, I was trying to flash new ROM via CWM. However, cwm wasn't able to read the zip file saying something about script is not supported blah blah blah... Browsing thru xda forum, I found out that this problem has caused due to the cwm version(recently updated to cwm3.0.0.8) , or at least I want to believe it this way. So lastnight I ended up finding a thread started by jt1134 which I basically helped out lots of ppl who were struggling with similar problem as mine. But the thing is when I was trying to download the files, cwm-recovery-ALL.zip and cwm-recovery-ALL odin. The download links were broken giving me an error message. So guys, if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it pleaseeeeeeeee.
to shorten it down, the link is broken, I think. So if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it thank you..............
Hello jjalhjy
I will make this easy for the both of us!
Direct your browser to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999802
Once there scroll down to the 5th post (#5) where I linked both the page you referenced (broken links) and a link to a working download of the ".tar" file (was earlier! ).
If you need the .zip file scroll down to post 9 (#9) where I have linked it.
A quick guide to getting you flashed.
*note* I am assuming you cannot use .zip files due to the incompatible script error! This is for using odin.
1. Put phone in download mode via the power menu if on superclean. If not turn off the power, pull battery, plug into computer, hold "down" on the volume rocker till the yellow triangle "download" screen appears
2. download the ".tar" version of cwr all
3. Launch odin
4. Click the PDA button and search for the ".tar" file and select it -> then hit "ok"
5. Run the file in odin, wait for the phone to reboot.
6. put your battery back in and test recovery mode to see how it looks!
*whew*
good luck!
Wow that was a fast reply! Thank you! A quick question tho, 1. Do you know if I have to uninstall ROMmanager and delete update.zip file in my sd card before I even start flashing via using odin. 2. After following your instruction step by step, and let's say if it works. Do I still need to download ROMmanager? 3. I remember reading someone's thread in xda saying it is always necessary to flash new cwm after flashing a ROM (I always have it done using ROMmanager but now things have changed, obvisouly. So yea, how would I flash new CWM after flashing a ROM from now?
Sorry if these questions sound so newbyyyy hehe and thanks again!

It is advised (so I have read) that you should not use ROM manager with the Fascinate. While it is a powerful tool, it is just not 100% Fascinate friendly yet. Also I have never had to remove/mess with the update.zip on my SD card. Heck as far as I know you can delete it after using ODIN with the new cwr-all.

No. I would use the Development Thread here in the fascinate section for your ROMS. ROM manager is just not made for us.....yet!

I personally have never done this. To the best of my knowledge (and real life experience) cwr-all (red version) is the current and most up-to-date version (for the Fascinate). Once I ODIN-ed over the cwr-all I have not updated it once. You should be fine to flash it and flash ROMs as you please!
Dude, thanks A LOTTTTTT
Hey guys,
I'm trying to install the rooted gingerbread rom using these instructions:
1. Download the file from above and drop it on your SD card.
2. Root your DROIDX2 using Gingerbreak.
3. Bootstrap the recovery using the DX2 bootstrap app.
4. Once you have bootstrapped, “reboot into recovery.”
5. Once in recovery, it would be wise to create a new backup.
Backup and Restore>Backup
6. Then choose “install zip from sd card.”
7. Then select the file from your SD card that you downloaded above.
8. Run it and enjoy the update!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But after I choose the .zip from that post, an error comes up that says:
Code:
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Swype.apk", "<some md5 hash>", "<some different md5 hash>");
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
I did do a factory restore in the built-in recovery menu, so I don't understand this error - why would Swype still be on my phone? Is it? Or does my phone think the Swype.apk IN the update is bad? I'm not ballsy enough to go and remove it or something. How can I get around this?
Any advice is appreciated.
My goal, of course, is to have a rooted gingerbread phone. If I can just install the stock update from verizon or whatever, then root again with z4 or gingerbreak (does this work?) I'm OK with that too.
That was actually a common error that a lot of us were getting.

Read that thread and you should be good to go.
Is the zip linked from the blue Download link in that thread the one I should be using? It's md5 matches the one that I had failing last night.
Edit: Saw the torrent, different hash. Will try that...
Edit: EXACT same error with that one.

Gingerbreak doesn't work on 2.3.3, you'll have to sbf back to froyo and update with p3droid's pre-rooted gingerbread. Search the forums for a great thread containing all the files and directions.

Im not sure what you're talking about, that tutorial is like 90% idiotproof. This is my first smartphone ever and those directions were simple enough for even me to follow. And if you hard brick your x2 let us know because you would be the first person on xda to do it.....seriously

The information that he has is correct on the SS for the Milestone X2. The PRL 2100 is an nTelos PRL.

I appreciate you uploading that file, however it is just a .sbf file and not compressed, I have tried downloading it three times, always failed toward the end. Rapidshare now says the file is unavailable, could someone upload a .zip .gz .7z .rar etc?
DLing to phone as I post. Just wait ~10 sec & choose DL to computer then choose free DL.
Edit ULing a RAR- will take ~3hrs.

Thank you! I was able to get that one downloaded, anyone have an MD5 of the sbf file?
No. I got the sbf from twobrare. He probably got it from his carrier .
I mean an md5 checksum of the file you or anyone else has so I can be sure my download wasn't corrupted, it started and stopped quite a few times.
The .sbf I have is: 15b998d663f1c21b68866f022aebaf3e
So I open the file I ULed in winrar & what?

I'm guessing you're running windows, once you have the .sbf file unpacked run it through a program like MD5-Checker and it will spit out the md5 associated with the file, I can then compare it to mine to be sure the download wasn't corrupted.
Much later tonite then.
Understandable, I really appreciate your help

The file you downloaded is a zip or rar, RSD looks for SBF. Unzip, extract SBF file, now try.
can send a link please because it donwload the file is is no zip at all
Just go into fastboot type "fastboot oem unlock" then it will tell you it'll void your warranty and to continue type "fastboot oem unlock *******" the *'s being your unique id.

if he link is dead you can send me an pm with your email address and i will attatch it to an email.
www.shabbypenguin.info
even tho i am not here that still remains a good place to grab up moto files
as long as people keep pming me new file links ect ill add it. i may not always be able to have that page for yall (may make it into a personal page) but ill have a big giant link that will take you to a dedicate photon page then
Does anyone know where I can find the OTA asia.retail ICS .zip file that works with the stock recovery method? My understanding is that if I have this .zip file, I can just go to recovery (poweron+volumeup+volumedown, select recovery, then push volup+voldown from the funny little android dude screen to get menu, select the .zip file off the SD card), and then I'm good.
I'm running an XT910 with stock 2.3.6 asia.retail. I was offered the OTA a few weeks ago, but didn't have time then, had time over last weekend, factory reset in prep for the OTA, but now the OTA offer won't reappear. I think the above method is probably easiest and most foolproof and least likely to brick.
I've looked pretty hard, but I cannot find a link to the stock OTA ICS asia.retail ROM as the .zip file that will flash like the above described method. Does anyone have a link for a known working version?
Thanks!!!
Bump just once. I guess no one ever saved it when it came out?

Thanks for that link! From what I read there, there is still no known place to download the asia.retail ICS OTA flashable via stock recovery method. I find that surprising, but not especially so, given the BS we all suffer from motorola.

Dude, you should read the posts correctly. It IS AsiaRetail. In fact I myself have been running it for weeks now. Look at the version details in the screenshots in the thread.
Mods, this thread is redundant. Pls close it.
1 someone else in the thread said it was PSH, not a.r - I thought it wise to double check prior to flashing.
2. If you hadn't bumped this thread, it would have drifted away.
3. I flashed my phone yesterday with stock recovery method & now have a stock asia.retail ICS phone, THANK YOU!!!!
