Root SBF Flash Problem

so when your X is plugged in, and in recovery it doesn't see it. When it is in bootloader it sees i but the drivers don' work, if so does rsd see it. And yes if you use your wifes X to install them that might work

My 2.2 is running fine, just no root, if i try booting into recovery and wiping data, and i still cant get RSD to work right, am I then SOL? should i just sacrifice root access for now? or just go for it?

Tried that first, didn't work. Then I tried updating the driver and everything went to hell. Wife just got home so I'll see if I can use her X to get a driver working
 
i had to uninstall the drivers by going to the control panel, and uninstalling the motorola drivers in the program section.
then, i installed the correct drivers for my OS. i also had start greyed out, and renaming the sbf to dx.sbf made it work. i dont know why i needed to shorten the name, but it did the trick.
 
Ok driver installed thanks to wife's phone

Error message is:

Failed flashing process: Phone [0000]: Not compatible with multi-interface super file


NOW WHAT??
 
Alright well I got 1 step further, I got it to start, but it immediatly fails saying

Failed Flashing process: phone connected

ideas?

make sureyour phone is in bootloader and you have rsd lite 4.7 with the patch here is a link if you want to try it,
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!
 
well if you have that and that and your phone is wiped...
try taking the sbf file putting it on your desktop and renaming it to dx.sbf then point rsd lite at it

I didn't come up with this but i can't remember who did

Already tried that too, nothing
 
if you cant find anything that works, make a ubuntu bootable flash drive (instructions can be pretty easily found on google, but if you need help, i can help with that). restart your computer, and boot into linux using the flash drive, and follow these instructions (via rootzwiki)

1. Unzip the SBF and place VRZ_MB810_1.13.6.2_1FF_01.sbf and sbf_flash in the downloads folder​
2. Put the Droid X in bootloader and connect it via usb.​
3. Open a terminal window.​
4.Change your directory: CD Downloads​
5. Then type: ./sbf_flash VRZ_MB810_1.13.6.2_1FF_01.sbf​
6. Wait and finish!


i did this, and it was super simple.

Just read this post and it started working.

Computer engineer here. Registered so I could post this and hopefully help a few of you guys out :cool:

I was running into the same problem, with Win7 x64, RSD Lite 4.6, latest drivers. Did some investigation into the error log and looks like I found a bug in their programming. Go into the directory you installed RSD Lite (for Win7 x64 the default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola\RSD Lite\) and look for a file that starts with "FlashErrorLog". Open it, and if you see something like this:

Code: 
Line: 865
ERROR: \\?\c:\SPRecovery_ESE81.sbfwt
Click to expand...
 
Got farther than before, now I get an error:

Failed Flashing: Interface BP: Error sending RAM download for bootloader
 
Phew, finally done. After the droid eye loop, i booted in recovery and wiped data and cache again, and TADA! Fresh droid, just like outta the box.

Been a fun night though... now to root and put 2.2 back on... hopefully correctly this time.
