I haven't seen this posted anywhere and took me hours of searching and trying to fix my phone to find it.
It's the Motorola Devour 01.15.08P Monster SBF Flash File. You can get it here...

I obtained the link from the root procedure located at...
Devour
Here's my Devour story with a happy ending (well, at least for having a working Devour again)...
I rooted my devour and then ran a backup both with ADB (pulling all files from phone) and with Titanium Backup. Then, like an idiot, I went through removing some system apps (which I thought were just bloatware) but apparently I hit something that wasn't. After rebooting my phone was stuck in boot screen. If I connected USB cable then it would continue on like it was going to fully boot but as soon as boot loader went away and home screen was "about" to come up, I then would get constant crash messages of google apps and motorola blur setup. The only thing I could access was task bar at top. I couldn't run apps, I couldn't go into any menu's (other than setting USB to motorola pc tools or sd card), etc... So I could copy files to SD Card, but because I couldn't get into the menu to enable USB Debugging, I couldn't access the system directory at all through ADB (it won't connect without USB Debugging enabled). I was absolutely screwed!
I tried using another Devour with Titanium Backup (it was also rooted) to create the update.zip and then run from boot loader (boot with power + space + 'r' held down) by pressing Z + B and then running option Z + N to update from update.zip on sdcard, but it would fail with signature error. I tried every single signature process out there (had like 6 different versions) and all would fail.
So then I said ok, let's try the full reset to wipe the phone, after all I can re-load Titanium Backup and my files are still on the SD Card so I should be good. However, after performing the full reset (option Z + M from bootloader) it still behaved exactly the same. So again, I was REALLY screwed!
But luckily I finally found the monster flash posted at the location above. I simply downloaded the file, ran RSDLite 4.6 (which detected my phone just fine), selected the SBF flash file and clicked Start. It kicked my phone into USB Bootloader mode (as a side note, you can actually access this by turning the phone off, removing battery and SDCard, plugging in USB and holding down keys E+R at the same time until blue screen shows up) and started the flash update. It only took a couple minutes and showed success after rebooting my phone. I held my fingers crossed and (drumroll)...... BOOYA! It worked perfectly! It started the motorola blur setup screen and I used existing account and everything installed perfect and went into original home screen.
I downloaded Titanium Backup and restored my previous backup and all was good.
One note, this Monster Flash File is version 1.15.08P but the latest update (which includes some good performance fixes) is 1.15.10P I believe. After I flashed the file above and went home it did prompt me immediately to run the 1.15.10P update. If I knew how to capture these files I would and post it. If anybody knows the process, let me know and I'll grab it as I haven't updated it yet and can always go back and do it again if necessary.
Anyway, I wanted to post this as it might save some people some big headaches or even possible unnecessary returns. Plus, it should give a little peace of mind for being able to recover when trying out things such as testing a working 2.1 build so we can all enjoy.
Once again, the monster flash file is located at...

And I got this file from the root procedure outlined at...
