The original link is the D2 version, which is what you said you have. No, you cannot use the R2D2 SBF on the D2 or vice versa. Someone else posted the R2 version after the original by request. Just use the link on the very first post. Also, DO NOT take the Verizon over the air update or you will be screwed as far as rooting and romming.

Droid-Developers SBF
The D2 and D2G sbfs are now posted. You still cannot root, but at least you can get your phone working again.

Yes, the newest D2 link is the one to use if you have bricked your phone on the .621 update.
So this only helps get the phone working again, correct? I am on 621 but not bricked I have not tried to sbf back down. Is it still impossible to go back to 2.3.3 or root 621? On a side note, I'm kinda pissed I'm even in this situation. I was rooted and working just fine on 2.2 and I came across a post on XDA forums with a link to 2.3.4 sbf but no warning whatsoever that I could not root or downgrade after doing it. If the post or thread contained a simple warning I would not be in this situation.

Yes, still impossible to go back or to get root if you didn't previously use RootKeeper.

ALL rooting/roming/Modding/SBFing is ALWAYS DAYOR(Do At Your Own Risk). I have seen people screw up their phones so bad, that they needed replacing.
For example, I once found a thread that said to root your phone, to open the phone, remove screws, and start pulling chips out of the board..... :banghead:

Um, duh? I already had root! I'm upset not that I took the sbf to 2.3.4, but that we were not informed that there was no possibility of root afterward. There was no possibility of "it might work" or "it worked for some people", it's just not possible at this point to get root on this firmware. I feel sort of tricked, I know that wasn't the posters fault or even intention, but it still sucks. I didn't want to have to use my upgrade credit yet because my DROID 2 works just fine, but I want tethering. So, I'm getting an unlockable from the factory HTC. Screw motorola. Hell. maybe I'll even go Windows Phone, at least they push security updates out instead of letting there users fend for themselves in a world of viruses both online and in the Market.

I here ya. Droid 2 can still tether. Download app called pdanet. When you try to use wireless, it says do you want to download foxfi. Hit yes. Foxfi works beautifully.
Sent from my DROID2 OTA updated .621, non-rooted 2.3.4
R.I.P. root access.
