WARNING - DO NOT USE THE .SBF WITH THE OTA 2.2 - WILL BRICK

Do not try to flash the 2.1 .sbf or you will brick your phone. We will have to wait for a new .sbf to flash.

WARNING
 
I had no intention to, but thanks for the heads up! Sucks if this has happened to anyone...
 
I have been reading a lot about this.
Question, why are people wanting to go back to 2.1 anyway? I haven't upgraded to 2.2 yet (waiting for things to calm down) and now I am wondering if 2.1 is better!?! I hope not.

By the way...newbie here....what does SBF stand for?
 
PLEASE HELP

well crap...i figured that was the best thing to do since my install failed when i tried doing the OTA to 2.2 to get it back to stock and try again...dangit...so what can i do now that mine is apparently all f'd up? it reads as follows:

Bootloader
30.03
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F


MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable

So you actually ran the 2.2 OTA update successfully and then tried to flash the .sbf?
 
Does this include the update through the team black hat app? Or only those who have updated ota?
