I have the non-rooted version of 2.3 installed on my droid 2. I want to simply put the stock motoblur version of 2.2 but RSD lite continues to deliver me this error.
"Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. (0x7100); phone connected"
I've done this before that's why I'm confused. I've pretty much tried reinstalling everything and it still won't work. I've also tried running rsd lite as administrator and placing the .sbf in the root of my c:/ and in my documents folder. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

do you have access to a windows XP device? RSDlite tends to work better on those for some reason. Also what .SBF are you using? It must be the 2.3.20 full. I just did this with My D2 so i know it is possible. Now we just got to figure out why yours didn't.

raisinbagel,

Are you running Windows 7? If so, you need to run a specific syntax fm the command line, pull one up by clicking on Start, Run, & enter " cmd " (what is between the quote marks).

You need do " cd.. " down to the root directory of your windows machine, then cd to
c:\program files (x86)\motorola\rsd lite\ directory & fm there you need to enter the following at the command prompt:
sdl.exe -f VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf -t 2 keep all spaces in place & the sbf filename needs the underscores.

This will force rsd lite to run properly i.e. see the sbf filename & enter it. Don't be concerned by the failed flashing msg, just click on the first line, where the failure msg shows, & then click on the 'Show Device' button, wait a bit & even if it doesn't change that first line, click on the rsd lite 'Start' button. It worked like that for me.... btw, I am using rsd lite version 4.9 ...

Good luck, oldwolf

hey old wolf
i am having the same problem, i did what you said but when i pressed start it just says fail now, where it used to stock in the bootloop after installing it.

do you have anysuggestions?? thanks

[MrB206]

Silly question, but do you have the sbf file in your rsd program folder? I tried to sbf once with the file in another folder and got that error... The file has to be in the same folder as the exe for rsd.

thanks mrb206,

but i just tried that and it didnt work, i also tried to wipe data with the recovery, (holding down power and x), it will boot into recovery but when i press search button, nothing shows up and i cant wipe data. i am really stuck. any suggestions will be great . thanks

[scarryman04]

did you flash the sbf while in the bootloader? you get there while holding power and up on the physical keyboard while powering on. RSD is tricky sometimes and that might help out.

That's another one... It has to be in bootloader mode, which is holding down the up arrow key with it powered off, then powering up. It should be a black screen with very little text.

hi could you explain this in more detail please?

[sd_shadow]

I've used rsd Lite on window 7, many times
you should need to do that , just use
and follow

edit: make sure you are using correct sbf, if phone had 2.3.4 you can only use 2.3.4
