Follow directions to SBF your phone back to stock Froyo

HERE

After you have followed those directions, THIS IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE, go thru the setup, *228 option 1 and all.

Go ahead and do a factory data reset/wipe your phone from Settings>>Privacy>>Factory Data Reset

After wiping the phone re-root with Gingerbreak and instal Tenfar Lin's Recovery.

Tutorials for rooting and installing recovery as well as additional download links/mirrors can be found in the sticky or here:

Root

Recovery

Place the downloaded GB Pre-Rooted file un the root(top of filesystem/not in any folder) of your externad sd card and rename to "update.zip".

Reboot into recovery thru Tenfar's Bootstrap Recovery app and select "Apply SDCARD : update.zip"

NOTE : It will take a long time, about 15 minutes... EDIT: I dont remember how long it takes with the new prerooted version.... I did this at work yesterday...

Reboot your phone. IT WILL BOOTLOOP!!! EDIT: If it bootloops, pull battery, reboot holding power and volume down, use volume down to scroll to stock/built in recovery, press volume down and up at the same time twice until you get the menu, wipe/factory data reset....

The phone will seem to stall at the eye, but give it time... EDIT: I wasnt watching as I was doing this at work....

Eventually you will be at your home screen and all will be well and rooted in the wonderful world of GingerBread!!

ENJOY!!!

Have you tried a battery pull and reboot? Make sure you don't have any kind of mod at all and if it still doesn't work, SBF back to bone dry stock, wipe, remove/uninstall any and all apps you may still have and try again...

I cant seem to sbf,

when i hold down the volume down and hit power it flashes the moto logo and then goes black, can't get to the rsd mode

scary stuff, it might be sbf'ing according to rsd, even though I didn't go into rsd mode hmm.

The Link Update.zip In OP Is Bad.

Let RSD do what it does and let us know... That is a little scary... I am currently trying to figure out what may have happened to you...

Wow, this first time I tried rsd it called the device 'fastboot' rather than the usual Daytona

I tried again after several battery pulls and got to where it called it Daytona and went ahead and flashed and thank you, it worked.

Even scarier was that I could not boot to use the nandroid backup either! I plugged into the wall outlet without the battery, inserted the battery and still had boot failure 1!!

Just so EVERYBODY knows, I got the sdcard error and the bootloop issue and I panicked and SBF-ed again!!! After the second sbf I ran the update one more time and got the installation aborted error and sat at a bootloop for a few minutes... let it work... P3Droid himself said that it will abort, and it will bootloop and take some time. As I stated in the How-To, his instructions aren't very detailed and along with my own issues I decided to write the How-To...

I think I finally got this to work, thanks for the help. I was pondering if it would be better to run over the phone with my car or say I had lost it...

I'll See What I Can Do, I'm Fighting The Battery Pulls By Deleting The Bloat.

Went From 170Mb - 228Mb Free Just From The Bloat.

Final Result After Deodex Is 269Mb Free Same As Froyo.

That's A 100Mb Difference, Of Nothing But B/S.

    If you go to settings -> privacy, and check back up and auto restore, google remembers all of your apps you have installed. If you flash and/or factory reset, all of your apps should automatically start downloading when you log in with your google account.

    Thanks, juhde

    Just wanted to mention that I found a free app that displays the CPU temp called TempMonitor Lite with a paid version called TempMonitor. Noticed that the dual core really heats up during new account sync (post-wipe / new ROM), for example. 130 degs, oy!

    Spikes like that are normal, especially when the phone is using the 3g radio, you only have a problem if it jumps high and stays high. The actual manufacture operational range for the tegra2 is -3° to 70° C or 26.6° to 158° F for you non metric types. So, 130 is still well within operating temperature.
