I recently picked up a Motorola Droid X from Verizon and flashed it to cricket. While I was messing around I think I hurt it a little. It was running the MB810 under System Version now it's running the MB809 Milestone X being as it was a Verizon phone before and it switched to nTelos. My question if anyone can answer is if I run the MB810 Sbf file if that'll wipe my cricket flash out and me not be able to use it till I take it in. I'd appreciate any help on this topic. I do believe the phone is rooted and want to change roms but afraid to wipe out crickets flash. Thanks
Droid X has a separate forum
This forum is about the original droid (OG Droid) and its GSM counterpart the Milestone. The Droid X has its own forum. I think you'll have better luck getting an answer there.

Is there a 2.2 rom that will work with my Alltel Milestone? If so, what is the best one? I've been searching the forums, but I am still a bit confused as to which roms will work with my phone. If I am correct, the Alltel Milestone is basically a Droid, while the UK Milestone actually has different hardware. I am going crazy not being able to use flash, and it looks like the official Froyo 2.2 update may be a while, if it ever gets it.

I'm looking for the same info
The alltel milestone can run verizon droid roms, however you need to backup your apn settings w/ APN manager and then restore them in your new rom to get your mms working. DO NOT Flash a verizon baseband file or SBF file as this will make your phone not work on your network. I suggest reading everything you can b4 undertaking this as I have seen numerous ppl post that they flashed the baseband and now own a music player instead of a phone.

Verizon and altel are the same now. VZW bought them a few years ago.
Ok so I want to root my Milestone but I am unsure which ROM to use. The thread here says to choose your "vulnerable recovery pre-installed". Well I have a Milestone sold in the US by Viaero Wireless. I guess I'm not sure which ROM I sould use or how to go about rooting it.
Thanks
so i have been hearing some great things on the bionic data fixes with the .901 update i have read the original op but honestly i am a bit confused hoping someone can help me out here... someone says it does not void warrenty by going to that one how is that possible if root is required to do this??? so how would i go about getting this updated .. i previously came from a charge and before that a epic so odin was my best friend and everything was very simple as far as rooting flashing roms and if i messed it up odin was there to help me out so hoping someone will help me in the right directinon and i am up to date on the most recent update the "data fix" if that is what you want to call it!!!
.901 was pushed as an OTA to a limited number of people. Someone copied it and uploaded it to the board. Meaning Big Red and Moto have to support it since it was pushed out, even though it was an accident. I'm not sure if you have to be rooted to sideload it or not. I was already rooted. Turned my phone into everything it was originally supposed to be. No data drops, and a constant 4G signal for me. It almost doubled my battery since it doesn't waste power searching for 4G.
OK cool I wish I could find a way to get it without root don't want to root yet

you do not need to be rooted to install it, you can install it from the factory recovery and run stock .901 unrooted.
Hello,
I rooted/flashed my bionic a long time ago, and haven't fiddled with it since..I'm currently using:
ROM - KIN3TX V1.0
Kernel - 2.6.35.7-g686e6
Baseband - CDMA_N_03.1C.57R ltedc_u_05.15.01
System Version 5.8.894.XT875.Verizon.en.US
Version 2.3.4
Could somebody please lend a hand as to what I need to do to move forward with a current rom, or even properly flash back to stock? I'm asking because my 4G stopped working a while ago.. it was fine one day, then stopped. I haven't had time to mess with it, but i've changed sim cards (different phone number) and that didn't resolve the issue either..).. if anybody would be able to lend a hand getting back on the right path, or at least get my 4G working.. it'd be greatly appreciated!!
thanks,
Dennis
Curious about this one myself. A VZ tech rep told me tonight that ICS was officially released for the Bionic and that I should really check for an updated ROM.
You should be able to use the fxz file and get back to stock. There is one for the official .246 ics update.
You shouldn't need to do anything else
Note: this wipes all user data and in rare cases the entire sd card. So back up your stuff. There are a few guides in the Android development section of our forums. (If they have not updated their old .905 gb guide, do everything in their guide except use the [fxz].246 ics file {also in the android development forums})

Thank you. I actually tracked down some info and ended up flashing the FXZ 904 update, so I guess that puts me a bit behind.. I'll look up the 294 today.. thanks again!
Hey Guys,
I am helping a friend install CM13 on his XT1096 since Motorola is letting VZW users unlock their boot loaders.
Just in case anything goes wrong (this is his first time doing stuff like this), I want to make sure he can get his phone back to stock somehow. For example, with a Nexus, I just flash all the factory images, bootloaders, and radios one by one and the phones brand new again. I am having a hard time finding any info on how to do this for the Verizon Moto X 2014?
So my question is: If his phone boot loops or soft bricks, are there factory images or any way to return his phone to stock in an official capacity (factory images)?
Using this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-return-to-stock-official-status-t3274121
And the XT1096 Image Here - http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25&page=4
Its same like nexus, but rather then pushing commands one by one you better download rsd lite latest version and after switching into fast boot mode open rsd lite and you will see device connected, locate the flashfile.xml from moto x zip and flash it. Its easier.. And almost every xt1096 files are available.
