Root RSD Error

[ultratech90]

I have a soft-bricked Bionic that is stuck at boot. The eye appears and it hangs their. I have downloaded 6.7.246 ICS and RSD 5.7
but it gives me an xml error and I'm not sure what to do here.

Did you unzip the file or did you let rsd do it for you? We can always fastboot the images to your phone if rsd won't work.

I only tried with rsd. I'm not sure about the other part. I tried from the sd card but it gave me some verification or update error. I actually have a new phone now and I'm trying to figure out the best way to backup the phone incase this happens again. So far I've been told to make a backup with safestrap and if my phone won't boot past splash then the backup should work, right?

The files posted in that thread are for rsd only that is why they did not work. As far as a back up yes if you have a backup and can get into recovery (with safe strap it should always give you the option for recovery) you can fix most problems. RSDlite will correct pretty much everything else.

What I don't understand is I followed the steps in the other thread and rsd gave me the xml error, which is why I tried other things. A factory reset did not work so I assumed that's what rsd would do, then I could use my phone again. When I rooted the phone I did some customizing. Everything was fine until I found an app to change the fonts on the phone and when I applied a font is when the phone rebooted and got stuck at the eye.

You can try and download the file again. Rsdlite should fix most issues. The xml is the file type so I wonder if it was corrupt.

To quick questions.

what OS are you on GB or ICS?
which file did you download?

OutOfPhase, wouldn't it be better to unzip the download and then run the .xml file from there? That way you know the download is fine - the zip file will throw an error if there is a bad download.

That would be my suggestion - redownload the zip file, unzip it into a folder, and then use RSDLite to connect to the .xml file in there.

I'm using 4.0.4 ICS and I downloaded 6.7.246 FXZ ICS
That's the system version that shows in my phone and I did everything else correctly so it should of worked, I just get the xml error. I can't really try it again because I already have a new phone.
