Safestrap recovery from RICK#2 dont have such option - "install zip from sdcard". Version 1.08e.

If there is no "install from zip card" option, I think I'd dump that recovery right quick :p

If you update this build, I think one of us would be more than happy to indeed - mail you a drive.

I will see what I can do.

I'm a big fan of SD as well. I've had SD 5.3 running on my Droid 3 since it came out, and was just thinking about upgrading to 5.6 when I saw that you're getting ready for a new release. Chevy, will this new release address any of the big issues such as the camera app crashing and being unable to record video? That and occasional instability with voice are my biggest issues with 5.3. I also have problems getting GPS signals in Google Maps and Gmail notifies me about the same E-mails over and over again, but I'm not sure if those issues are SD specific.

The kexec release should help fix a lot of things. We will have to see what get fixed when the time comes.

HELP ANYONE! I have a problem flashing the XML file in RSDlite 5.5 to my new Droid 3!
Its failing! The Droid 3 screen goes on and off a few times and it fails the flash.
The status shows the error below..in the box [ ]

Status: [ Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 6/18 flash cdt.bin "cdt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL.; Phone connected ]

My phone is USB connected and in while starting and i did all the steps to the T. Nothing was missed. im just not able to flash it. Does this mean im on stock ROM already? will that cause the failure?

and on top of this im stuck in AP flash mode!!!! took out battery, tried powering off, nothing works..

PLEASE HELP!!!!! :(

Search for Fastboot. IMO it works much more often than RSD. Just make sure you get the one that corresponds to the system you are running.

I have also seen where people (Yonner?) have it fail multiple times before it works. So maybe keep trying?

Also, if it is brand new, why are you trying to RSD it anyways? Just root, install Safestrap and go. (just curious)

OK let me make this perfectly clear. A lot of people seem to be having issues here, so I'm just going to clarify this.

RSD Lite step is OPTIONAL. Its NOT needed 95% of the time. Just because its listed doesn't mean its necessary. There will be occasions where you will want to do it, but for the most part, you shouldn't need to.

Yeah RSD has quite a few times taken ALOT of tries for me. lol It's worrying but you just gotta keep at it. That or try another method, Overlayer for example has a few tricks you can use.

Also people have make sure you know what base system you are on! That will make the difference of it working or borking you phone even worse.

I think you might wanna put an aside in the instructions that RSD/Fastboot if only really needed if people want a true "clean" install, I think too many people see it in the steps and think they NEED to do it. Although I feel the problem stems more from people freaking out due to it not working the 1st try.
