Root Issue with RSDlite / sbf recovery

[emdmao]

So I am trying to root a buddy of mines droid, and I used the method of flashing the sbf recovery stickied here on my wifes droid two weeks ago with no problems.

I downloaded the file, rsdlite, and the drivers. Installed rsdlite and drivers.

Then I opened up rsdlite and selected the recovery file to open and when I open it none of the information appears in the dialogue box on the right.

I tried downloading everything again thinking a file might have been corrupt. Tried running as administrator and no luck.

I've seen that rsdlite not recognizing the phone is a common issue, but didn't see anything about it not recognizing the recovery file.

Any suggestions?

did you check the md5 of the sbf file to ensure that they match?

Yeah I did

Yeah I did

hmmm Ive never heard of this one before. Did you try all the normal things like putting the sbf in the root of your c drive. Also ready some people have only had success if the sbf is in my documents
