OK, surprisingly I'm not totally in a bad mood after all this dumb stuff

Haha....yeah I would buy several if I were going to buy online at that price. That would make a great stocking stuffer. For those friends and family members with Motorola phones.

Hmm well I guess I'll give it a shot

Any ideas on why though? I had rooted an older bionic with no issues, same cord and computer

I flashed 235 on my laptop. Tried to flash 238 on the same computer but rsd lite would not find the phone. I moved to a different computer and everything went well.

this wouldnt be the same cable needed to recharge a dead razr would it????? by dead i mean i cant boot it up and it needs some desperate juice to finish an update

• Received refurbished bionic from verizon, running .902 in mid july
• updated to .905, left phone completely stock in the wake of the ics leak buzz
• finally installed ICS .232 on aug 17, fell in love
• attempted to root, to no avail.
  
  • I have most recent drivers installed, 5.9.
  • Using factory cable with moto logo on it, same cable I've always used
  • Enabled usb debugging, checked allow unknown sources, put phone in mtp mode when plugged in
  • Restarted machine before running razrs edge, which is extracted on my desktop
  • razrs edge runs, says waiting for device, then daemon not running starting now, then daemon started successfully. Then it just sits there
• I had read that going back to gb and reinstalling ICS may help, so in that process I discovered that RSD lite doesn't even recognize my phone when I put in fastboot mode. I had previously done all this with a different Bionic, using the same computer and same cable and everything. I'm not sure if the phone is having issues or my computer, but clearly the two are not communicating properly
• Windows recognized the phone in all three usb modes in ICS

Well, I guess thats my situation, not sure if anyone knows anything.

Silly question but did you install motohelper? It will always keep newest drivers

I had a similar issue and it was the version of the drivers from moto i had. Check those as that finally fixed it.

unfortunately, I have already downloaded a few different links to drivers, one of them being moto helper

my fix was a different version of rsd

Well hopefully its the cord, I got one ordered should be here next week...

I was having issues with RSD not "finishing" the flash process & ultimately getting an "error 7" failure in Safestrap 2.11 whenever I tried to install a ROM. Phone didn't always "connect" to the PC when I plugged it in and some other communication issues b/t the phone and PC were happening.

After trying all sorts of fixes (drivers, adb commands, different USB ports, you name it I probably tried it) turns out my issue (and I hope yours which is why I'm writing this) was caused by me not using the "official" Bionic USB cable - I was unknowingly using a generic one.

Here's hoping your issues are caused by the same problem I figured out and, once you get the right cable, you'll be back to flashing without any errors in no time!!
