Root How to Flash 5.9.905 GB, 6.7.246 ICS or 98.72.22 JB with Rsdlite

Using bootstrap or safestrap does not matter when it comes to flashing with rsdlite it just looks at the kernel and radio and makes sure that you are not downgrading. I would remove your current RSDLite and download the newest version which is 5.7 and try it again.

I am running 5.7. Interestingly enough, if I manually unzip and browse to the .xml file (yes, all 18 files are in the same directory) as soon as I choose the .xml and click open, I receive the error.

My friend flashed his Bionic yesterday using the exact same FXZ file I am.

Crazy.

In Fastboot mode, should all my Device Properties be N/A? Or could that be indicative of the problem?

This was an issue with my Windows installation. I tried it through a Windows 7 x32 VM on the same machine and it worked perfectly.

Quick Question Please!

Status: 905, rooted Motofail, Safestrap v1.07, Eclipse 3.0 up and running, getting the ICS itch :)

I am trying to verify the term 'Uncompress and Start Flashing'

I have Drivers installed, RSD 5.7 installed FXZ 902 Zip. Do I unzip FXZ 902.Zip manually and place the unzipped folder on my desktop or does RSD 5.7 unzip it (Uncompress)?

Many thanks,

OK, don't laugh I'm new to the Bionic. I used RSD Lite for flashing my Droid X and have done quite a bit of romming with the X. I am having trouble understanding the downloads for flashing back to .902.

I downloaded the Motorola Device Manager but can"t figure out it's purpose. I have an icon on my desktop but when I click on it all it does is ask if I want to repair or remove the file. Next I downloaded RSD 5.7. I have tried to extraxt the files usiing winrar but can"t seem to find the file that will launch the application.

Any explanation or advicw would be appreciated.

TIA
