[TOOL] ezSBF D2G

[1KDS]

I originally built an .iso for the Droid X, it worked so well for so many people (70,000 downloads and counting), I decided to make versions for different devices. This .iso is for the D2G, I am taking request for other devices.

Don't let the word Linux scare you, this is just a cd you burn, nothing installs to your pc. Once you burn this CD you are ready to SBF flash anywhere you have a computer, no net connection needed to download any files.

Droid 2 Global Only! Versions available for other devices: OG Droid - Droid 2 - Droid X - Droid X2

This is an .iso file. It is a complete Linux operating system that you will download, burn to CD (or USB) then boot your pc from CD or USB, this allows your pc to reboot into a different operating system. The operating system has been preloaded with an SBF file for the D2G, sbf_flash (the Linux method of SBF flashing) and a script I wrote to execute it, this makes it very simple to SBF flash your phone. As soon as you boot into the Linux OS the script will automagically start and you will be ready to flash.

Video instructions on the process Thank you RageXmods! (He is using the Droid X version in the video)

You can sbf on windows 7, you need rsdlite 4.9 AND 64 bit moto drivers

The drivers may or may not be 64 bit it actually depends on which version of Windows7 you installed. There are 32 bit versions of Win7 as well for those who do not have more than 2Gbs of Ram.
You have to have 4Gbs or more to run the 64 Bit if I'm not mistaken

You have it backwards... you need 64-bit to address 4Gb of memory. 32-bit is limited to about 3.5 Gb realistically.

Also, 1KDS, your OG Droid link is only going to a picture, not the post...

You can run 64-bit on much less than 4gb.... Netbooks do it all the time. 4gb isn't a requirement.

OG Droid link fixed. Let's keep this discussion about the Linux distro at hand, there are no drivers needed for this at all.

[tsi483]

There are two .iso files to download, should we use the 2.4.33? What is the difference?

[iamjackspost]

This worked great! Thanks for putting this together.
