Where did you get RSD lite from? Maybe try here, could have gotten a bad download maybe?

Yeah thats a great question. i dont know... i thought when i downloaded it i get it from the link in your "all eggs in one basket" thread. But anyways...thanks to you it looks like i now have the correct version of rsd lite. So i deleted all the other files except for the moto drivers and i am re-downloading the VRZ file now. Im going to extract it into a new folder on my desktop and try this whole process again and i am hoping it works. Im currently waiting for my phone to charge to 100% before i do anything though

Did the FDS and then immediately ROOTED my phone. Everything went smoothly and I have root again and now I am in the process of getting all my apps and syncing my accounts and whatnot. I am going to download Titanium Backup and follow that link you provided and freeze all those un-needed apps. WHO knows....maybe it will improve battery life a little bit. I am also going to follow Foxcats battery thread and charge the battery next time to 100% while my phone is off. I think the next big thing i would like to do now that i am rooted again is to find a way that is EASY to get a really good and stable version of GOOGLE NOW on my phone

Thank you sir. I definitely know alot more about the rooting process thanks to your help.

Would you happen to know anything about using set cpu? I want to figure out some good profiles to set that will still allow the phone to be fast and also help conserve some battery

Sydman....So i have been doing some research about ROMS. I would like to install one. I found this one [Rom][1.01]Droid Hd - DroidRzr.com .

It is pretty much the UI from the new RAZR phones. I really like the UI and want it on my OG RAZR. After researching it seems as if I need to install Safestrap. Im not to familiar with it but I have been reading up on it. I found a stick on it in the Hacks threads but the first post is dated from a couple of months ago and I was wondering if everything is still good with the sticky.

What would be your suggestion on getting safestrap on my phone so that I can flash this awesome rom.....which BTW has google now built into it...can you say awesome.

Yeah you can side load safe strap with the RAZR utility version 1.8 or 1.81.

I have never used it before though, I use Clockwork for my recovery since I don't flash Roms.

No fast booting is for when you need to get your phone back to the stock ICS from say the .215 leak or you need to unroot.
