[Q] Bell XT860 stock recovery

---

I would have posted this question in response to these instructions, however I'm still a noob on these forums, and haven't met my 10 post quota yet.

My question is will this recovery method work for Bell Canada users, or will it only function for Verizon users?

I've installed AOKP a few months back, and while I enjoy it, I've lost support for some key features; namely HDMI, which is disappointing. When I tried recovering to the stock rom to hold me over until some new features and revisions show up on the mod scene, I found out my system backup was corrupt.

I have found a few downloads to system images, however every one I have found link to files that are now taken down. Can someone upload a current system dump?

I can set you up when I get home later

What would happen if I flashed the Bell firmware to a Verizon Droid3?

Will it change the radio.img
Will I have to unlock it again?
Will everything still work?

I am using 5.7.906.xt852

Quite honestly no one knows. Wanna be the first?

I'm really eager to find out. Worst case, you could always just flash the bell XT860 radio afterwards and see what happens!

I am way too new at this to try experimenting with untried solutions

I just barely figured out how to root my ph. Still working on how to flash.
Is it the same as installing a ROM?

No, you have to completely reflash your device and will have to re-root it. I think you should give it a go though

You'll need to download RSD Lite and download the XT860 Bell SBF files (they are about 500mb to download). Also make sure you FULLY CHARGE your phone, just in case you run into any issues. I think you can find an SBF how-to doc in the development forums. Please keep us posted.

Are you on Verizon? Because if you and this works, you probably won't be able to use it with them anymore.

Nope, I am on PCMobile without a data plan, use wifi.

I think maybe I'll try a Rom first.
