Linux solution to your Windows/RSD lite problems
I created a live Linux CD to easily SBF the Droid X over on DXF. A member asked me if I was going to make a version for the OG Droid... here it is.
This uses the FRG22D file to sbf.
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.
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 the FRG22D SBF file for the Droid, 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.
Instructions (Mac):
Download 1KDStaz0.x.iso
Use Disk Utility (built in) to burn iso file to a CD (instructions)
Shut computer down
Hold c key when you turn it back on
Hit enter at the "boot baby... boot" screen
You will see yellow dots for 3-5 minutes
Select display (There may be a delay after selecting the display size)
Instructions (Windows):
Download 1KDStaz0.x.iso
Burn iso image to a disk (Windows 7 - Vista and XP) or (Load to a USB flash drive)
Reboot PC
Hit F12 (sometimes F8 or esc) during boot to go to boot menu (possibly google search how to boot your specific pc from CDROM)
Select boot from CDROM (or USB if you used a flash drive)
Hit enter at the "boot baby... boot" screen
You will see yellow dots for 3-5 minutes
Select display (There may be a delay after selecting the display size)
You can also use a virtual machine rather than a CD or USB flash drive on Windows or Mac (instructions)
You can also use it with MobaLiveCD (info here)
You will now be in the script and ready to flash.
Put phone in bootloader
The pc screen will look like this:
