By trashed - do you mean you see this message?
After you've completed the update and reboot MOTIF XF, the message "New Flash Memory Module, Please load waveform data" will be displayed. Load the backup data (the message disappears).
If that's the message you are seeing - did you follow the update instructions presented when downloading (and also part of the ZIP file)?
- All User data (User Voices, User Performances, Songs and so on) will be initialized by this updater. Please make sure that you save all User data to a USB storage device or to a computer connected to the same network before performing this update.
When you need to backup the data written in Flash Memory Expansion Module, set the Type to "All" and select "without sample" in Save FL1, Save FL2 in the File mode.
==
Save FL1: without sample
Save FL2: without sample
==
Moreover, when you load backup data, make following settings.
[In File Mode]
Type -> All
Load USR -> USR
Load FL1 -> FL1 without sample
Load FL2 -> FL2 without sample

Your Motif XF cannot load any MOXF data and cannot even start updating with the wrong firmware. That simply is NOT a possibility.
It would identify the nature of the file and refuse it.

You’ll need to narrow that down by telling us WHERE in the world your are.
Also you could provide us the exact name of the File — this information will tell us exactly what you downloaded.
Even if the wrong file was posted, your instrument could not recognize a MOXF firmware file, period.
If your Flash Boards are “trashed” it’s not from updating with another synth’s firmware. Impossible.
