I found two guides for returning to stock:

[HOW-TO] Get your Milestone back to stock - xda-developers

They are the same method but posted both in case one is easier to follow. The link in both guides to the stock sbf files is broken.

I found another site with the files: Droid-Developers SBF


I can't really tell you which one to download. I assume you want to choose one labeled retail from your location.

And remember, like I mentioned via pm, I've never used a motorola device. I'm knowledgeable with rooting htc devices. All I can offer you is my best attempt at finding the information you need.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions about the guides, I may or may not be able to answer it but I'll do my best.

The OP says that he has an XT800, but those files are for an XT702.

I found a site with XT800 SBF files here: SBF:XT800 - MILEDROPEDIA

(I also found another site: Droid-Developers SBF )

But I don't know which of those SBF files you'd need, Abhinav Kumar

The guide that Brian706 links to looks right.

Also, this Google Doc from sd_shadow is great, and explains a lot of terms and processes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Goawxdx_UBF4Y8lqzHYWf8Ha3yUcRK4faq0UWIlXLWA/edit

Unfortunately, he has no specific section for the Milestone Tiatanium XT800. However, maybe there will be enough info there to get you going.

Sorry I'm late here, but I do know that you must use the .sbf file that is for your exact phone model, otherwise you are screwed for sure.

good luck
