Try it. It may work for you.

With me, the 2 part files were pretty finicky, so I always had to sbf before I could get them to install

Boot into stock recovery by having the phone off and holding the home and power buttons until an Android pops up. Then press the volume keys in.

Select factory data reset by using the volume keys and pressing the power button for ok. Also wipe cache. Then reboot. If that doesn't work, you must sbf.

Try CM7. It blows everything else out of the water.

I have used CM7 and cannot deal with the battery drain. I am constantly on my phone and Liberty's battery life cannot be beat.

Also, just an FYI, follow the directions to a T or you will be sbf'ing like I did. Thank you for all the help and great guides on here. I love this website.

Do you have the current drivers from Motorola? That link I posted has pretty much everything you need.

And I wouldn't recommend using any of Drew Garens stuff. I have heard nothing but issues about it and also that its all kanged.

This is the best/easiest way to sbf:

If your phone came back up, then the SBF was successful and you can close RSD.
