Did they know you were rooted or did you tell them? Red lite is a program you run on your own from a computer

No I did not tell them about root...I tried rsd lite but I read they have not released the .img, for the OVA update released not to long ago

Find the 2.3.20 full sbf file and hook the phone up and flash it. As long as you get a bootloader screen or the like you can recover regardless of what's messed up, including the recovery.

If you could post more detail about what your phone is displaying when you turn it on, that would go a long way to helping you out further

TBH did not release the sbf for the unofficial OTA to GB, if you broke it you have to flash back to Froyo and start over using the 2.3.20, especially if you installed the version with the bad recovery (released on accident). Slide your keyboard out and power it on while holding the UP arrow, it should load up the bootloader screen and then you can connect to RSD lite and flash away. Make sure after you flash you fire up the stock recovery and do a factory reset (hold x till the android guy and triangle appear, then press the search button on the keyboard), sometimes the phone will bootloop otherwise after a flash.

I was still running froyo, never upgraded in any way to GB. Downloaded RSD lite 4.9, and updated my drivers. The sbf file i used was 2.3.20, the RSD could never find my phone. I tried to run as Administrator but can't figure out how to do it, I've tried every way. Running Vista on Desktop, and 7 on laptop. Still no luck.
the phone will not charge at all, I have to use a separate battery charger. If I press the power button the Moto Sign comes on and stays froze at this screen, until battery is pulled. I can get into the phones stock recovery, (power+x), I have wiped and reset, but just to get the Moto sign froze again. Several attempts on that one. Once battery is charged enough, I can connect with USB (power+up), to RSD lite. But RSD will not find phone. That's when I read that they haven't released the sbf file I need for the last OVA update, before the GB OVA update.
Thanks

First go here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/d...le-threat.html

down load the drivers for Moto connect (more like the reason RSDLite wont see your phone)
make sure you have either RSDlite 4.8 or 4.9
download the 2.3.2 sbf file


Switch your device to PC mode
Turn on debugging mode (settings>applications>development>debugging mode)
Launch RSDLite (make sure device appears in window)
Select SBF
Start

Device will switch to bootloader and begin the flashing process and will reboot when it is complete.
