I originally built an .iso for the Droid X, it worked so well for so many people (42,000 downloads and counting) I decided to make versions for different devices. This .iso is for the D2, I will have another out for the D2G soon.

Don't let the word Linux scare you, this is just a cd you burn, nothing installs to your pc. Once you burn this CD you are ready to SBF flash anywhere you have a computer, no net connection needed to download any files.

This is an .iso file. It is a complete Linux operating system that you will download, burn to CD (or USB) then boot your pc from CD or USB, this allows your pc to reboot into a different operating system. The operating system has been preloaded with an SBF file for the D2, sbf_flash (the Linux method of SBF flashing) and a script I wrote to execute it, this makes it very simple to SBF flash your phone. As soon as you boot into the Linux OS the script will automagically start and you will be ready to flash.

Download - 1KDStaz_D2_2.3.20.iso - Froyo
MD5 (1KDStaz_D2_2.3.20.iso) = 00555a06a3f374d3079e76d707f77ed0

You will now be in the script and ready to flash.
The pc screen will look like this: (screen shots from the Droid X version)

Use the numbers across the top of your keyboard, not the number pad

Once the flash completes you will see this: (Again, this screen shot from the DX version)

If you already use Linux as your OS of choice you can flash with your current system, grab sbf_flash and the SBF file then simply cd to where you put the files, then:
chmod +x sbf_flash
./sbf_flash file name.sbf

I highly recommend this for a successful SBF method!! Very user friendly with a high degree of success even for those who have never done it before! I use it for my DX. Great tool. Thanks a bazillion for this.

My DroidX Thrives on the DarkSlide!!
 
Thanks again! Very simple and reliable!

I have used this on my Droid X and my Droid 2. It worked flawlessly on both.

Thanks again 1KDS!!!!
 
Thanks for beta testing RPPing!
 
i gotta ask will this flash the phone to gingerbread 2.3, or the stock froyo 2.2 for d2. and is there any way to change which it flashes to.
 
that would be good. i didn't know it says 2.3 at the end of the file name.
 
Yes, it is system version 2.3.20 which is/was froyo
 
Awesome man. Your Droid X CD is amazing. Glad to see our D2 bretheren are getting some love.

SSX v2.0
 
That is the Android version. Android 2.2 is Froyo, but the Motorola Froyo ROM is 2.3.20 for the Droid 2. Gingerbread is Android 2.3 and the Motorola ROM is 2.4.xx

SSX v2.0
 
Right.
Don't confuse system version with android version.
 
Oh ok thanks for straightening me out on that one, I know a little and am still learning.
