[Q] RSD Lite not recognizing Droid X - Droid X General

I am stuck on the BootLoader screen after installing the 2.3.340 update.zip.
I'm trying to flash the 2.3.320 sbf file using RSD Lite but it isn't recognizing my phone. I reinstalled the drivers and restarted my machine.
RSD Lite shows a device connect to USB Port 1
But it says :
Model - S Flash OMAP3630 MI
IMEI/ESN/MEID - N/A
When I try to flash the sbf file I get a Status of 'Failed Flashing Process, Unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file (0x7029); phone connected

What version of RSD?

Still not working. Going to go to Verizon and sweeten up with a rep. Thanks for the help.

Do you have the Droid X drivers installed? Did you run as administrator?

That is what I've installed and still no luck.

I think it's working. All looks to be in good order. Flashing at the moment

I found out that error 0x7029 usually related that the .sbf file is not in the C:\ root folder. So I moved it there.
Then I couldn't hit "start" after selecting the .sbf file because "start" was greyed out. I found a post here explaining how to fix it.
Follow his steps completely and it'll solve this problem.

Give RSD a little time to see your phone too. The first time I ran it, I had to wait about a minute until it populated, now it comes right up. I had a terrible time getting it to work though... Just keep tryin'!

I will try that. Will let you know after I get it done if it works.
When it comes to motorola phones, that error generally comes up on newer devices when trying to flash a file that isn't compatible . I used to see issues like that when playing around with RAZR2 V8's. I'd make sure you have the latest version of RSD Lite (that also helps) and try another sbf.
Well I tried using the Linux way with the original .sbf I had. I got the same error message as before. I am now downloading the a955_stuff.sbf from megaupload and will try using that one. Will let you know what happens. Thanks for your time thus far.

What phone D2 or D2 G and which SBF did you use?
I assume you used the 2.2.00 sbf when you needed the 2.3.20 SBF once you have the 2.3.20 update the bootloader is changed and won't accept the 2.2.0 sbf.
IF that's the case you need to try flashing it with the 2.3.20 SBF found HERE
Read the bottom of THIS post if you get a bootloop or stuck at the M logo screen.

You probably flashed the wrong SBF. You need to find the latest DX SBF they should be found in the DX section of XDA. Off the top of my head I can't think of the latest release.

I Dloaded RSD lite 4.7 an the 2.35 BL sbf as well as the orig 2.2 and 2.3 FW sbf's. RSD will communicate with the phone. I can reload the BL sbf if I open the sbf file but none of the FW sbf will load in RSD, the start button command stays grayed out. Also in RSD on line 1 of the phone status it shows connected but above that in the device properties box info for the meid/esn etc show N/A.
I can access the recovery menu and at the bottom there is an error report for accessing recovery cache in a folder path.
Can I put an update.zip on an sd card and try to revive this thing that way or maybe I am doing something wrong? I am guessing this is the result of some botched flash job.
I have done some modding on my Droid X such as backing it up, deodexing and put the Liberty ROM on it as well and changing ROMS on my android tablet so I have some of the basics down but after much searching & reading I am seeking help with this one. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Now my battery is dead, I have found in other threads that a blank software device wont charge the battery if this helps

Maybe try flashing in linux and make sure you have read up about flashing SBF's on a DX. I don't know which one to flash as this is the D2 section and I have a D2.

That would work if you can find an update.zip made by moto that will go through the bootloader. And it doesn't really matter how it got here but probably it is a bad flash or a wrong ROM. (You might try connecting it via wall charger (not USB) while it's powered down then turn it on and see if you can get into clockwork recovery.)

You need to find someone with a DX to swap/charge your battery with so you can get in and flash it or you need an external battery charger (one that will charge the battery outside of the phone).

Oh. In that case you need the 2.3.20 SBF found here http://droid2files.com/tools/VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf after you can get the phone charged. (If it helps the D2 has the same size battery as the D1 so you can swap/charge a D2 battery with a D2 or a D1.)
Also try finding RSDLite 4.8 or 4.9 as they might work better for you. I'd give you a link but I Haven't flashed an SBF with RSDlite I just use linux.

Cool thank you again. I got the battery charging via a rig I have done before with other devices from a camera charger. My linux(zorin) machine lost keyboard function out of the clear blue I havent had a chance to sort it yet(another project lol) but I do have a live usb thumb drive setup to use for linux. I'll try on this windows machine for now.
I'll keep you posted as to the results
well I got the battery charged up. I still have this problem when I select either the 2.2 or 2.3 sbf files the start button for applying the flash stays grayed out as if the files are invalid. If I select a bootloader sbf the start button is ok and I can load the BL sbf. I tried switching to rsd 4.8 too. I will keep playing around with it and maybe try to get my linux pc going.
Ok well even tho I had a few copies of the sbf files I went ahead and dloaded the one you linked. It would load in the rsd app but when I hit start to apply I get.... "Failed Flashing Process (0x7100) and this happens right away

You might need to put the file in the C: drive of your windows box. At least that's what a another forum post found from a Google search suggested.
Or try linux Check here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804088. It's an old version of Ubuntu and there are somethings I want to add to it, I'll be updating it as soon as I have some free time to put it together using the 10.10 version.
I found this link... http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...-failed-flashing-process-0x7100-rsd-lite.html check out post #32
It does make a difference where the file is located yes and I got the sbf to perform the flash but after a lengthy process looks like about 3 steps and it takes 3-5 min I end up with a fail messege. There is more info I could provide but its been a long Monday I need to give it a break and now the batt is low again.
Thank you all again for your much appreciated help. I will regroup tomorrow. I will try to log in on my phone to see any ideas I mite need to think over.

2.2.1 SBF for Motorola Bravo

Anything YOU do to YOUR phone is not my fault, please proceed with caution​
To apply:​1. Download RSD Lite, Drivers, and .sbf files from below
2. Install RSD Lite
3. Open RSD Lite as administer (hold shift, right-click on RSD Lite, select Run as administer)
4. Unzip the .gz and extract the .sbf
5. In RSD Lite, browse for the .sbf and select it.
6. Power your phone into the bootloader (hold volume up and power on, should be a black screen with white text)
[If the bootloader screen says Cannot program, your battery is too low to apply .sbf]
7. Plug phone in and run the driver installer
8. RSD should recognize your phone now
9. Select you phone and press Start
10. Wait for it to finish​
Whatever you do, do not unplug your phone from computer or disconnect them in any way
Note: If you bootloop and are stuck at the red M logo, you need to wipe data in stock recovery. To do that, hold the volume down button and continue holding it when you power up the phone. Then, once you see the triangle and android, press both volume buttons at the same time. After that, scroll down and select wipe data/factory reset.​

Couldn't Update So I Used A Stock Froyo SBF and RSDLite 4.8
My Bravo was rooted. So, every time I tried to update it, I got the triangle/exclamation mark thing. There was probably a way around that, but I don't know enough about hacking phones.
Instead, I flashed (at least I think that it was a case of flashing some sort of ROM... I really don't know) a stock version of Android 2.2.1 onto my Bravo, and it worked like a charm.
Now I need to go about figuring out how to root it again, but that's a headache for another day...
I tried to post the link to the SBF download, but this forum wouldn't let me. So, you'll have to find it on your own.

Look on Youtube for this video "Flashing SPRecovery SBF File to a Motorola Droid."
I just used those instructions to install a stock Froyo SBF on my Bravo using RSD-Lite. Of course, when dude in the video says to press up on some button on the keypad, you will press up on the volume rocker instead.
I would post the link, but this thing won't allow it.

Yes, and I did follow all of the steps as they were written. I've been encountering the same problem ever since I received the message that there was an update available.
It keeps saying "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" whenever I try to run the installation (for the update).
For the RSD Lite program, I keep getting this error: "Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file. (0x7029); phone connected"
I have no idea what's wrong. I've tried every solution posted on this board as well as Motorola's site, AT&T's site, and countless hours spent searching Google for an answer/solution.

[Q] Can't delete anything on my internal memory!

Hello! I'm a proud owner of a Milestone 2 (I don't know if this goes to Droid 2 or Droid 2 Global ) and I have a quite big problem:
My phone was running very bad, a lot of FC and slowness so I decided to wipe, so I did, went to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, all done perfectly.
Reset the phone and what happened? Everything was exactly the same as before, I tried to deleted applications and when I restart the phone they appear all again and random resets.
I went mad and installed a .SBF with RSDLite, it completed and failed at checksum group errors and bricks my phone to "CRITICAL ERROR: DE A1" screen.
I revived my phone by installing the .SBF through booteable Ubuntu, but it's ALL the SAME as before.
I would love all the help you could give me and sorry for my bad english.
Greetings.
EDIT: I'm really sorry! I didn't know there was a Milestone 2 section.

Nope yet. I used the SBF Flashing in Linux with Ubuntu Live CD with the Brazil GingerBread sbf for Milestone 2 (also tried UK)
If I try to flash with RSD Lite won't pass the CHECKSUM ERRORs and bricks my phone to CRITICAL DEA1, with Ubuntu won't pass checksums without errors but it boots.

The checksums matched (I was checking the .sbf decompressed when I should checking the compressed one), but nothing, tried 2-3 sbfs (slow internet, downloading them takes forever) and the same as before, if done through RSDLite Bootloader with Code Corrupt and if done through Ubuntu all is same as before.

Nope, done with back USBs, a few SBFs, RSD Lite 5.7 and nope, Critical Error DEA1.

EDIT: Basically I cannot unzip the firmware.zip file to extract the firmware.sbf - I would really appreciate it if someone could point me to or upload a working firmware.zip and firmware.z01
Did you try to download those files from this thread? You could try to extract it with some additional software like 7-zip.

Yeah I had tried them. But I have found the sbf file via dropbox.
Now the problem I have is RSD Lite isn't recognising my device in bootloader moder.
Yes I have moto drovers installed.
Yes I'm running it as admin.
What should I do?
EDIT: Windows plays a noise when the device is plugged in as bootloader mode. However rsdlite still isn't seeing anything, and the window doesn't give many options either :\
Check for yellow question mark in Windows device manager while your phone connected. If so, reinstall drivers.

First, .sbf.gz need to be unzip with 7zip or winrar into .sbf! Did you forgot to unzip them?
Both of rooted rom's part need to be .sbf before flashing.
Second, did your phone's bootloader say "batte low cannot program"? If so charge your phone till full and try again.
If not it could be driver problem.

I'm not aware of this yellow question mark, I've reinstalled the drivers 4 times now. Could you possibly explain where this question mark may appear? I've checked the program called "Device Manager", but I guess I'm not seeing it

Both sbf files are extracted.
My phone is fully charged, boot loader mode says "transfer mode: USB"
EDIT: I changed computers, and have successfully rooted my defy+! The difference between the two computers:
1st one
Laptop
Windows 8
All USB ports are 3.0
2nd one
Desktop
Windows XP VIrtualisation
USB 2.0 I believe

Glad to hear, so it must be driver on Windows 8 problem.
Heard about win8 failed to flash with RSDlite too.
