Root Droid X sbf File Released....Now you can unbrick

Frankdk2 said:
After flashing if you find yourself in a boot cycle do this to fix it:

1. Boot into recovery mode
2. Do a factory reset

Then it should boot back into 2.1

just wipe/data and cache first, he should probably put that in there
 
Is it required to do a factory reset prior to attempting using SBF? In the rootzwiki post it doesnt say anything about that, just that you need to use RSDlite and such. I have tried over and over to do it but it wont let me click the Start button in RSD. my device shows up, i have selected the correct sbf and everthing but i cant click start, any ideas? is it because I havent done factory reset and cache wipe or whateveR?
 
Ive had the M stuck on my phone since yesterday morning when I attempted to get the update. Before I tried to upload the Froyo update I had downloaded and loaded the recovery bootsrap by Koush. So this evening I flashed my phone it seemed as if was doing its thing when "Flashed Failed" appeared on the screen. What might could be the problem? Thanks
 
I downloaded a file not sure if it is the correct sbf file it was 236mb but when I open it up it has drivers and another file but when I open that it says zip file is empty
 
am trying to go back to 2.1 and hope someone can give me a little more explicit direction than I have found so far (I have read so many forums and threads but cannot get this clear for myself yet). I have followed the rootzwi directions, I have downloaded drivers, rsb lite and copied the new ini over the old, I unzipped the sbf file and it is in a separate folder from the rsb lite. I am confused by whether in step 4 "open rsd lite and find the unzipped sbf" part - should I put my unzipped sbf in the rsd lite folder? It is not there right now - they are in two separate folders on my desktop. Then I am confusted as to what start button is being talked about - on the phone or the computer.


The directions in this thread get me confused in what to do in these two steps:
Run RSD Lite 4.7 with patch pre-applied. If you need RSD Lite and the patch, you can download it from my personal mirror http://www.vengefulsoda.com/RSDLite-4.7+patch.zip BE SURE YOU OVERWRITE THE PST_FLASH.INI IN THE RSD LITE FOLDER WITH THE ONE INSIDE OF THIS ARCHIVE AFTER YOU INSTALL RSD LITE.

Do I disconnect phone to do step 9?
9. Flash SBF to Phone. (The link to the SBF file cannot be provided on the forum. Also, some people have had to rename their SBF file to something short like r.sbf and drop it in the root of the C: or a folder right underneath the C: )

And do I need to remove the update.zip file that updated to 2.2 from my sd card first?
Sorry if these are completely obvious to everyone else, I just do not want to start the process until these are clear. Thankyou

1)just put the actual sbf file on your desktop nd then open rsd and point it at it
2)No it has to be connected in order to flash the sbf
3)You don't have to but you can if you want

Yea, I always hate to be the spoil sport :( that has to stop stuff like this, but we want to keep the forum out of some lawyer's cross hairs. If they ever change their mind or allow it to go out again then one of us will post that it is ok again.

I appreciate everyone's understanding.
