so go into rsd lite and put the sbf back on it and then turn it off and then when i boot it up again hold the power x and up on the dpad?

Just go back into the bootloader up on d-pad, don't let it reboot into the Droid operating system

Ok, when you flashed the sbf the first time, you let it boot up into android, you weren't supposed to do that. After flashing the sbf, when it goes to reboot then hold up on the d-pad and wait for the 100%.

After the sdf, you need to boot back into the bootloader to complete the process.

Yes. Its called "catching the boot."

The guide you are following is the link you told me was too much to do.

Everything is explained in depth there.

ok, so now i need to plug phone into computer, turn off, open up rsd lite, load up the sb, hit start, after the sbf is flashed i need to press and hold up on the dpad til it gets to 100%, then unplug phone, and where do i go from there?

That's when you go to recovery, do a nandroid backup and install the zip file. Hopefully, guidot can help you out from here because I have to go.
