***UPDATED: 3/26/2013***

These fastboot files allow you to recover a bricked device/return to stock Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) on your Motorola Droid 4.

PRECAUTIONS:
NEVER FLASH AN SBF FOR AN OLDER ANDROID VERSION THAN THE ONE CURRENTLY ON YOUR DEVICE!
YOUR DEVICE MUST BE FULLY CHARGED PRIOR TO FLASHING.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If you notice a broken link, please send me a PM and I will fix it ASAP.

Android 4.1.2 System Version 98.72.18

*JAWDROP* Over a gig?!?!

Soft bricked my D4 installing OC hack after the update, DLing this on 3G is going to take forever. :"(
 
If you want help getting mirror links let me know, I do believe I had an account when i had my original droid. if it wasnt for this site it was for some other one. but i've got a few mirrors getting ready right now
 
To my knowledge no there is not but you are more than welcome to create one from the xda version and the mirrors that are up if youd like.
 
Well you guys, while this is downloading so I can make a mirror of it. I think I'm gonna go smoke, workout, nap and then possibly be able to flash it and create the md5 file. I will either rehost it as an (md5&zip)archive or a (md5&zip) regular folder. or have sgmd1 attach it to the OP

I'm going to be very upset if daywalker faked the file name for the correct one :/

second edit cause this made me happy

I relearned an old trick i use too have
