This is turning into one of those days.
I decided it would be a nice idea to update to the .595 leak. I was toying around with LibertyGB 0.5 last night so I Bootstrap SBFed myself back to 2.3.340 and went from there. I was rolling and patting myself on the back for getting this process down and really commanding my phone. Then, my office phone rang. I made a mental note of where I was in the process and picked up where I left off (or so I thought). Phone boots to the white Moto logo (White? Uhoh.) for about 2 seconds then shuts off.
Long story short, I've missed a step somewhere and now I get to do an old fashioned hard-connection SBF. So I reach into my bag and grab my USB cable. Check. Reach into my bag and grab my Macbook. Check. Wait, Macbook? I grabbed the wrong laptop on the way out of the house. Gulp. Now instead of having a freshly SBFed and updated phone for the trip home, I have a paperweight to shore my coffee cup in place.
Moral of the story: Don't take phone calls while playing around in Recovery, even if you've done this 1000 times.
Moral of the story 2: Make sure you have an SBF-able laptop or desktop with you before starting potentially brick-making processes.

Their SBF-as-zip works quite well. Only had to do it the hard way because I made other mistakes.
