WARNING: ONCE YOU FLASH THE FROYO SBF ANY ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE TO ECLAIR MIGHT RESULT IN A HARD BRICK !!!!!
These files are made available as a general courtesy and I assume no responsibilty for your own actions.
Thanks, I was just looking for this.. I did an update from eclair to froyo (2.1 - 2.2) and everything was fine until I did a hard reset and lost service and it kept crashing each time I would go into the settings and wireless/APN options. Wouldn't take ATT and TM sim cards.. Going to try flashing the SBF and see if this resolves it.
Edit: aaand, flashed and all fixed.
Great find, nice to have an option in case we screw something up. I wonder if there's any benefit to flashing the 2.2 sbf instead of flashing a clean 2.1 and updating to 2.2...
OH I HOPE THIS FIXES MY FREEZING ISSUE!!! Im so sick of having to take out the battery 10 or more times a day when this thing freezes, plus Im sure it does damage as hard shutting down a computer does. Ill let everyone know.
How would I flash the bootloader?

Ya know what...i'm not really sure how to flash it...or why it would be needed as opposed to a regular bootloader...
Got it flashed. Same way as you flash a rom. Like you tho, I havent a clue why. I also flashed the rom. Did NOT help with freezing, in fact seems worse now. Cant use my phone for more than 3-4 minutes before it freezes. Any idea who Id contact at Motorola to get assistance with this, because this is ridiculous. Thanks for posting this.

Hey check your SD card. My phone wasn't just freezing....it would completely just reboot and stay on the moto screen. I found out that i was my memory card. When I removed it, it worked fine and when I put it back in, it shut down automatically. Found out the problem was the 2nd partition I to use the link2sd...had to change it so that the 2nd partition was set to primary and its been working fine ever since. Not one single freeze or anything.
Dunno if that is going on with you but if it is I hope this helps
How do I set the second partition as primary? I've noticed also when anything gets linked, it goes to the first partition. First partition mem goes down, whereas second stays the same.

I use something called 'EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition' that I think I downloaded on google (I don't remember) but you can use it to change create and format partitions and you just gotta make sure you set it to 'primary' and not 'logical'. Try to see if you can find it and do it and let me know. If you can't find it let me know and I'll see if I can send you mine. And if you do and you still have trouble, detail to me what is going on and i'll walk you through it. It took me a lil while to figure it out.
So I could use minitool partition as well? That's the one I have. I will try that out. Phone hasn't froze today for a long time, but now that I said that, well you know. Lol I will keep you updated for sure. Thanks.

Found out why the need for the updated bootloader. Froyo does not support the Eclair version of the bootloader, so if you need to flash again, you would not be able to unless you update the bootloader. HTH
I'm honestly kinda a noob at this... never messed with anything like a bootloader. Can somebody explain to me how to do this? I'm wanting to flash back to a clean 2.2 and the post before mine sounds like that might be bad without updating boot loader first.
Also the rom, just install it with RSD?

You will flash the bootloader the same as the froyo rom in RSD. Do the bootloader first. Then flash the froyo rom. Any questions, don't hesitate.

Phone fully on or update mode or what? For both?
USB Debugging on?
Version of RSD need to be up or still using 4.9?
I'm not 100% of this, as I don't have the MB508 as of the moment, but I believe once you flash the stock 2.2 rom or OTA you will loose root.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is just intended for those who want to know info.

When you flash you will need to go into bootloader mode. Power off phone, the use the proper key funtion (sorry don't remember what it is) to start bootloader. Then flash updated bootloader. When flashing via RSD, it doesn't matter about usb debugging because you aren't fully booted into the phone. I used version 4.9 and had no problems flashing both. Good luck.

Yes this is correct. I belive this is the case anytime you flash using RSD. You can gain root again after using the most current version of superoneclick.

Hey all, I originally had Damage 3.2.2 installed, had wimax update, and the new radio, everything was fine, I am now trying to restore everything back to factory with the HTC Android ROM update utility, v1.0.2.10. I plug it in, go through the steps, it starts to wipe everything, then when it starts copying files it gives me this error. So when it canceled and the phone rebooted, it was just stuck on the white evo screen and loops. I figured it was just because of the new update and all, so I was still able, (thanks god) to flash over Bugless V03. Tryed to use the utility again, and still gives the error. Can anyone help get me back to factory please? thanks for the help I would like to go get my new EVO with out any worry.
So you still have root and access to the recovery console? Odd that you are having problems restoring. Instead of using the exe file, I believe you can flash the zip file using the phones built in hboot menu instead. I don't think it will check the software version first, it's worth a shot. I think you have to name it PC36IMG.zip I think. I would find the exact info but I'm not on a pc at the moment.

I didnt use the OTA update, I flashed Damage 3.2.2, it never effected my ROOT or NAND, I just need to get it back to factory so I can return my phone for a new one. They got one waitin on me to pick up tomorrow afternoon. I have to work all day so I have to either stay up, and figure this out or, if I cant figure something out then I will have to cross my fingers when I go up there tomorrow. I have already spoke with a rep in person, he seemed cool. He looked at my phone for a good minute, scrolled through a few things, I couldnt see what it was, but he just handed it back to me and told me to just come back tomorrow at the same time, and hell swap it. I didnt realize it but I was already on a list for the phone, so Im gettin it either way I guess. I just dont want anything to happen when I go up there. Even if I could just flash over something updated or not just looked "stock" maybe I can just slip in and out.
Ahh okay. Well, look around for the zip format of the exe file in the "how to go back to stock" thread a few posts down.

I see that thread, but all I do see is just the .exe files, no zip. There isnt just a installer like with the old version, I have the older exe, before I flashed damage3.2.2 I could easily go back to factory by running that exe and goin through the steps
Alright, this is what I was talking about, I posted it in another thread:
I think he can try restoring to factory.
Download this:
http://www.joeyconway.me/evo/stock/R...253_signed.zip
Rename it PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card.
Turn off the phone, hold volume down and turn it on, it should boot into hboot, sort of a factory recovery
It will automatically detect the zip file and ask if you want to apply it. Select yes, and it should restore to factory.
If you continue to have problems, then there is probably something wrong with the phone and it'll need to be returned.

This guy is atroll
Bootloader was updated with nw ota. Ur applying an old ruu and getting an errir, that's 100% normal you can't roll.back with ruu. Search the board for ducks sake, look at all the threads about rooting nw ota. This is there problem. Just flash another update zip first then u can ruu back.
Yup, that would do it. Hope you can get it worked out before you take it back.

If you still have recovery flash dc 3.2. This should rest you bootlegger.
Then run a ruu.
Nooo, I think that is a different file. You can try searching for the link i tried go link that doesn't work, but I doubt it will work if you updated the boot loader. The method I was suggesting would have restored to stock, but with a newer bootloader I'm not sure what to do exactly.
Edit:
If damage control 3.2 has an older bootloader it should work, give it a go.

If you still have NAND unlock, then try this starting at step 2. This will enable you to downgrade.

Is there one of these images that isnt from the engineering evo? Im trying to get one that wont tell my phone it is an engineering phone, because for some reason my market will not displayed paid apps at all.
Thanks
out of curiosity, why are you running an engineering rom instead of flashing a stock rooted or custom?
Im not running the rom, but its the engineering bootloader. Id like to return the bootloader to the stock one so that it might restore the correct market.

What does the bootloader on the phone have to do with what Market it displays?
Oh, wait... that's right. NOTHING.
If you've put some ROM on it that has a signature not recognized, that's your own lookout.
Hey thanks for being a **** but maybe there is just something you arent aware of. I have flashed about 10 roms, all of them with the problem that the market doesnt have a paid section in it. People have indicated that it might be because for some reason my phone is being displayed as an engineering model, which is why i wanted to return the stock bootloader. My problem is unique, literally nobody has been able to be of any help, and you being an ass doesnt help.
Im no idiot ive been doing this for a while, and it isnt that my specific rom is messed up.

ok guys i just picked up a play for att. sucks cause i have tmobile and wont get the 3/4g data. im almost always in wifi spots anyway so no big deal.
anyway i have already called att and got the phone sim unlocked. now if i think i understand this correctly this should be the order to follow. if you guys can confirm and provide latest links i would appreciate greatly.
1. sim unlock (done)
2. unlock bootloader (not yet)
3. root (not yet)
4. load rom (not yet)
correct??? did i miss anything? any preferred method on any of these? please advise.
thanks!!!
First of all, if you bought a xperia PLAY, you should probably post in the xperia PLAY forums.
Second of all, questions go in the Q & A forum.
To answer your question, that's pretty much the right order.

If you were rooted before you don't need to re-root unless you purposely unrooted it. IF you aren't rooted anymore superoneclick or the zergrush(however it's spelled) is the easiest. I'm 99% sure you don't have an unlocked bootloader though, so you have very few options. I'd say re-root if you need to and unlock your bootloader so you can flash flash and flash custom roms like crazy

You need to pay Setool credits in order to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to lose the sin lock as well, so you could have killed two birds with the same stone.

im wondering now that im rooted if i can clean this stock rom up enough to use on a daily basis. i mean im using tmobile on the device so sharing internet would only be edge lol. i guess the only thing i really want ics for is that fact that its ics.
open the dial pad and use this code*#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration".
If it says unlock bootloader = no, then you have to use the paid service, if yes, then you can do it for free yourself.

In some cases yes. On my phone I got a continuous bootloop after downgrading, however it was easily fixed by pushing the clock work mod recovery and installing an AOSP rom (cm9 for me). On the other hand, while downgrading my gf's phone i did not experience any bootloops. Not sure whats causing them at this time but i'll be looking into it.
Also, if you want to stay on a sense rom you can go into the factory recovery menu and wipe user data/cache (essentially a factory reset, but will not lose s-off or root) and the bootloops should cease until you turn off the phone.
cool, i'm gonna give this a shot. I have 2 inc 2's to send back. so if i screw one up, oh well.

so if i understand you correctly your running the sense4a rom and experiencing no bootloops, but you want it to bootloop?

lol okay. well mainly the boot loops are just caused from the downgrading itself. Maybe try pulling the battery and restarting the phone, boot into recovery, bootloader, ect. Not sure what actually triggers the bootloops besides the sense roms themselves but thats really cool that the sens4a rom doesnt seem to be causing them ill have to look into that.
My guess is the RIL code written by the devs here for the Sense 4 ROMs aren't plagued by the boot loop issues.

my guess is as good as yours

I am no longer on the 6.01 software but i will edit the OP to ask for someone to do so.
I just upgraded my old phone and will be getting a droid by the end of the week. If no one has done it, I'd be happy to do so, provided someone tells me how to pull the system/lib/modules folder.
Please help, been trying this for so long, everything goes smooth with all the commands and everything but when at the very end i get the error message (FAILED: 12 signature verify fail). Or something to that extent, I went back up to to OP Post and researched some more and I seen something about needing to have an unlocked bootloader and then I need to lock it back with (fastboot oem lock). So do i need to use htcdev to unlock bootloader first then try this or whay. Pleeasee
Hey dets34, I followed your process to downgrade and also got the boot loops; always rebooting at the lock screen. I am using CondemnedSoul's StockOTA 605.05. I was about to give up and use CM72 when I noticed the radio version was .0622 (an older version?) So I flashed the .0312 radio, and guess what? No more boot loops!
Has anyone with this boot loops problem tried flashing another radio? Would the radio version be the main problem?

If you had that radio, you shouldn't have needed to downgrade

But I was originally using the stock 605.05 and s-on. I used dets34 process to down grade and gain s-off. Was there another way?

Hello, I rooted using this method: www .youtube .com/watch?v=GiZ7D2zjJdA (sorry xda wont let me post links)
The root worked fine all was well until I tried setting a font using a font installer, when I set the font the phone shut off rebooted and is now just sitting at the AT&T icon which I think is called a boot loader. I am running Android 4.3 which has knox and this bootloader. I can get into the stock recovery by vol up + power + home and I can "wipe data/factory reset" would this work? I just want my mistake fixed im so mad at myself for doing this I am not a pro at this at all and im scared of what to do, I really need someones help.... can kies update the phone and fix it? or can I wipe data/factory reset? All my phone has is just root, no cwm and stuff.
Please help someone!

you need to provide more information. What recovery your using and what version, what rom, bootloader version, how you rooted your phone, etc etc. Also, the search bar is your friend.
We all have lives outside of XDA we cant post a response as soon as a new thread comes up. Be patient. Like I said, do a little searching while your waiting for a response instead of waiting for someone to do it for you.

The YouTube link is what I used to root. I have stock everything.Open a new phone out of a box use the method I used in the YouTube link in the first post and that's what I have. I'm not trying to make people search for me. Im lost, I don't know even of what to search.... All I know is I have OTA 4.3 and I have a sgh-i747. A guy on YouTube told me to just get a official 4.3 firmware for the gs3 and flash it. Problem is I don't know where to get that... I've been searching for 3 days now.. Maybe im not searching the right place? Also guys my post from before I wasent trying to be rude, I'm sorry... Im just mad that I did this to my phone and I'm needing your help.

did you finally foun your answer that you where searching for? if not i know a method to unroot the phone and put back to 4.3
email me if so : [email protected]
Since your are running 4.3, you cannot flash anything newer older than 4.3. Do not flash any 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 ROM as this will make matters worse. ATT never released a complete stock 4.3 ROM that could be flashed via Odin. You can try to debrick it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Edit: According to another thread, DO NOT USE Kies to re-install the firmware. It WILL BRICK your phone.
Can you get into download mode? Has the Knox counter been tripped? If it hasn't been tripped, maybe you could get it repaired under warranty. If it's been tripped, you can still try to get it repaired under warranty. Just be prepared for Samsung to refuse warranty service because Knox has been tripped.
