[Q] Alternative Download link for 2.1 sbf files? - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with my Milestone after trying to update it from 2.1 to 2.2, its stuck on the "M" logo. I've tried flashing it again using the SBF on and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221[/url] but I'm still getting the same boot problem. I was wondering if I tried flashing it back to 2.1 if that would work and where I could find the SBF as the multiupload links from the above site no longer work.
Cheers

I was able to do it Quite Easily...What exactly happens when you try to flash the Stock Sbf?Any error or what?And which SBF are you trying to Flash?2.0 and 2.0.1 will make the Boot loader hang.
Hong Kong 2.0.1 or 2.0
I am following those steps...I am ok when I flash the GOT 2.2, but I can't when I want 2.1 back
interesting enough...I can now successfully flash UK 2.1 and when I help my friend to flash GOT 2.2, it fail again. the RSD said flash error...
the error code is 0x7100, i've search for it and some people said moving the file to other location will help. I did it but seems the error is still here, or the RSD skip all process and said finished, nothing changed! Do any one know how to solve?

[Q] Cannot flash back to Rogers froyo

Hello XDA!
I recently bought Samsung Captivate from Rogers with Eclair installed on it. It is my first android. I rooted it. I wanted to install froyo 2.2 on it and used Odin instead of just using the official upgrade with Kies (dumb me). Now I am stuck with AT&T froyo 2.2 which voids my warranty from Rogers. Kies would not recognize my phone. I would rather have Rogers official release of 2.2.
Is it possible to replace AT&T 2.2 with Rogers 2.2 (or at least Rogers 2.1, so I could upgrade through Kies)?
Thank you,
Elena.
Stock rogers 2.1 rom is here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TT4RYLDZ
You need to flash this with odin, and you will be back to stock.
As for the boot screen, there is a thread on here on how to change the image back to the I896 boot screen.
Thank you I will try this
Ok, I did flash it with Odin3 v1.30. I still got the AT&T boot screen for just a second, then the original I896 comes up and then I see rogers logo trying to start up, but nothing happens after. It turns off on its own.
maybe i need a pit file or something?
well if you followed instructions, just restore your original backup..
what? didnt follow instructions... well here you go...
if you are seeing the att boot logo you flashed i897 stock ROM
rogers is i896. the Att boot logo is part of the kernel.
heres what you need.

[Q] Official Vodafone 2.3.3 issues reboot loop after rooting

Hello All,
I am hoping someone can give me some advice here is my situation.
I was running the official Vodafone 2.2
Yesterday after a long wait they released 2.3.3 so I used KIES to upgrade to this no problems.
Later I decide to root the phone so I can use Titanium backup to restore all my files settings etc.
I used a rooting method flashing with ODIN and the put my phone in to endless reboot loops.
I cleared the cache in the recovery mode and then erased the data partition with no change.
I needed to get the phone going so I flashed 2.3.4 XXJVQ with ODIN and it is working.
I want to go back to the official Vodafone version of 2.3.3 but I can't seem to work out how.
Can anyone please give me some info on how I might do this.
I assume if I could get the official 2.2 vodafone back on the phone the I could use KIES to push the new 2.3.3 but I just cant find that for download any where.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Problem with my Bell i9000M (Needs serious help)

Hi XDA developers,
I'm a newbie. I've been searching posts on xda and still couldn't remedied the problem. I currently have the i9000m from Bell Canada. I upgraded my i9000m to 2.3.3 Gingerbread earlier in Kies. Recently, I've been trying to unlock my phone and without rooting, the best solution seems to be going back to Eclair, so I followed the youtube tutorial by djeddieone and tried to go back to Eclair using Odie. It basically flashes a rom (I suspect that's a T-mobile rom that shouldn't be flashed onto my phone) in Odin. My phone no longer boots and cannot get into recovery mode. (When I try to start the phone, there are random colour dots showing on the screen.) The only mode that works seems to be downloading mode. I think I need to flash a stock rom from bell, but the link on sammobile (i9000ugjk3) seems to be expired and cannot be downloaded. So i'm trying to find alternative ways to see how to remedy this problem.
Thanks in advance.
I highly doubt that Bell will release a new update for the i9000m. You are better finding a newer rom (JVT or newer) and flashing that via Odin. Im using CM9 nightlies (but I feel it has too many bugs for daily use). If you can find a newer rom that is tweaked, you should notice better battery, faster, etc.
Just my $0.02
Hey I had similar issue - tried flashing new firmware w/odin & stuck with download only... I finally went to a Bell store to send it in, but they were able to use new firmware recovery software to re-flash stock gb2.3.3! I just said Kies messed-up the phone... Anyway, it will get you back to stock functionality. Good luck!

Since you can still get into download mode, you're OK.
You can download the UGKG3 ROM files from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Search for UGKG3.
The file is in 7Zip format. If you don't have something to unpack it, get IZArc.
Flash the 3 files and you should be up and running.

After you restore your phone to KG3 via Odin/Download mode per Black Rose's link earlier in this thread, you should be back where you started on KG3.
Then from KG3 ( 2.3.3),
I suggest:
1) Use SuperOneClick to root your phone (SuperOneClick can also UNroot your phone later if you want).
2) Use Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz available on the G-store.
This worked well for me with no problems.
And just for reassurance, NEVER flash a ROM that is not explicitly for the i9000/i9000M to this device.
