[Guide] Flashing Linux Motorola's with RSD Lite Versions

[InsecureSpike]

The BEST way to flash the Linux Motorola's is to use RSD Lite 3.9, or higher

This is the way i Flash my Linux Motorola's
i would not recommend using Flash&Back up 3

(try to avoid RSD Lite 4.1)
Please DO NOT request ANY RSD Lite
To find the NEWEST RSD Lite search Google or 4Shared


Next, install the NEWEST Motorola Drivers from MotoDev



Flashing,

Once you have the above 3 your ready to Flash your Motorola, and your Battery is FULLY charged.

Connect the phone to the PC with the USB cable, making sure the phone is in Modem Mode,
(this can be checked by going, Main Menu> Settings> Connections> USB Settings> then select Modem.)

Now start RSD Lite.
wait for it to find your Phone,




Now you need to choose the file you want to flash,




Once you've selected the right flash, you can press Start,
Let RSD Lite go through the Flashing cycle,











Your Phone will Re-Start, DON'T disconnect until the Result is PASS.

Congratulations, You've Flashed Your Phone

Why do you recommend against using 4.1? Was that a bad version? It's what I use and I haven't had any problems with it.

Ririal
RSDLite 4.1.exe -> Virus file / unreal RSD
RSDLite 4.1.msi -> work OK ( im using this )

[alchemist.ioan]

Hi,

Just want to start by saying thank you! This mod is sick. So...

I have flashed my V8 512mb with this mod, but the alarm clock does not seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks

I feel I should appologize in advance, so I'm sorry. I bought a razr2 v8 through eBay and it is unlocked however it still has all of the programs associated with TMobile. I would like to reset everything to Motorola's settings or even better set it up with Rogers programs and settings. I feel I have the basic knowledge of cell phones but I would appreciate it more then you would know if someone could hold my hand and walk me through it. Thanks in advance if anyone can help and again I appologize if this seems stupid.

Cheers
