Root Droid X sbf File Released....Now you can unbrick

[PSUlion01]

heres a direct link to the sbf

http://www.wikifilez.com/Root Filez/MotoDroidX/Phoxus_-_Droid_X_Gift.zip

I will clean up the op and get all the info from this thread there in the next day or two

I've got the SBF, but the instructions say:

1. Unzip the SBF and place VRZ_MB810_1.13.6.2_1FF_01.sbf and sbf_flash in the downloads folder

When I click the link to download sbf_flash I'm just directed to a webpage with a bunch of code, rather than being prompted to download a file. Is something wrong with the link or is it because I'm trying to access the file with Safari?

Works fine in Firefox. Try Right click -> Save as

It almost sounds like your viewing the file instead of downloading it.

Yeah exactly. Tried firefox on another computer and it worked fine. Weird...

 

[Vipersandubs]

so this is kind of like a factory reset?, because i have rooted my droid x and can not seem to unroot it with the one click root/unroot app...can i just do this to unroot my phone? or is there another way to unroot it?

No it is not really like a factory reset but it will unroot it.

 

[Paycer]

So, has anyone managed to use this and completely restore their device yet?

So does this meen we could possible hack the sbf file and insert a custom recovery console?

^ this.... Bc it sounds intelligent

I lol'd.

Is it supposed to save as a .txt file?

 

[Piiman]

It was what most people think a factory reset should be though.
I consider it a REAL factory reset not that fake one they have in the menu.

I ran this last night and it unrooted my phone, reinstalled some stock apps that I had deleted but it left all of the apps that I've downloaded and Everything looked like it did right before I ran it.

That's odd. I thought it put it back to exactly how it was when we bought it.

That is probably do to the dalvik-cache being preserved. When I did it I went ahead and loaded my phone into recovery mode and wiped the phone to factory and the dalvik-cache then I loaded the sbf file.

yeah thats what I thought too. And yeah when they referred to factory reset I looked at it, as most people do, as just clearing data and cache. But this should totally reflash everything as moto would do when then refurb a phone

Thanks for the info. I'm not a root user, but I try to keep up on it for when I do decide to root: would you be so kinda as to post this procedure? It seems like it would be something that's good to know how to do for a lot of people.

 

[OMJ]

I added a bunch of links from the thread. If there is something else that needs to be added someone just pm me. Since I dont have a DX I dont visit this forum that often

 

[HalfFrozen]

Both links for the RSD lite 4.7 don't work for me.

 

[D13]

Same here this worked for me though
RSD lite 4.7 download

 

[n0m0n]

Rsd Lite 4.7 is linked in link I originally posted. Are you trying with that or with RSD Lite 4.6?


heres the direct link http://server11.hosting24.com/~rootzwik/Root Files/MDroid/RSDLite-4.7+patch.zip

Edit that link is broken.

Link still appears to be down. Is there another?

Thanks

If you follow the first link to the sbf the link to RSD Lite is under the Windows instructions.

Yeah exactly. Tried firefox on another computer and it worked fine. Weird...

In Safari right click on the file name and choose copy.

Yeah

 

[n0m0n]

Yeah

Now I have 4.7 installed when I messed around with my Droid1, but without this patch.

Is it a special patch for win7 or Droidx device?

Thanks

I haven't tried it with my X yet, but I did use it for my droid and it worked. I am running win 7

With patch or without?
I guess my question is what is this patch for or do?
If I have a 4.7 working on my PC is it needed?

Thanks

I am not sure what the patch is. But when I open rsd lite 4.7 and I plug in my X it recognizes it. Like I said I haven't flased the sbf yet so I couldn't tell you if it works to that point
