sbf help please

[dankarlinski]

so, i tried to restore to a nandroid i found online... it didnt take, and now all i can do is get to the bootloader and the stock recovery.

i have the 2.3.20 sbf file that matches what i had on the phone before i went custon (i updated via the OTA)


anyways, i have my SBF(VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf), i have my RSD 4.8, and i have the drivers installed.


i plug my phone into he computer while in the bootloader


the phone reads normal:
"bootloader
D2.37


Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode: USB"


RSD sees my phone in slot 1, it shows Port type as USB. N/A inder the IMEI/ESN section, and Connedted in the Status


i see the bootloader version in the top, i see both AP + BP Die ID, and AP+BP Public ID


Afer i select my file and such, it shows that it is creating files, and a bunch of other files populate in the folder where the SBF is. it runs to 100% (which takes 10-15mins) then it says waiting for re-emulation and then goes to failed flash.

is there something i am missing here? i have read about 3 different guides for this, and i never seem to stray from them
