Did you check the MD5 hash? Also did you give the .SBF a shorter file name? This solved all my problems personally.

Hi
Rename the file to smtng shorter
Make sure the the battery is full and you might wanna use a PC and not a laptop ( my laptop was part of the problem when I tried to flash an sbf to a soft brick phone)
If it doesn't work for you pm me and ill send you a complete way to do it

See if you can access RDS protocol by holding Vol. Up at boot. Then retry.

You have to extract the file, not rename it.

Yeah first need to extract the .Gz file and then rename the long sbf file to smtng shorter

Wow! Today I woke up ready to call.att.warranty, and powered up mt Atrix and I went to the M screen and I thought it would stay there because of the failed SBF flash the night before, and then to my surprise it then popped up the" rethink possible" att logo. And I thought I was dreaming. It started up like normal, and im now rooted on 1.2.6. I have now idea how it happened, but im glad it did. Does anyone have anyidea what happens or have ever heard of this before? It was bricked on the M screen all last night, and now im back to stock. Very strange.

Actually last night for about a hour a could not get to the.RSD protocol screen. Then I tried powering up pushing both the vol up and down button at the same time and that worked, for me. I have no idea why it worked when I pushed both but it did.
