Rsd lite can't detect my phone

---

Currently, my phone is on central europe rom with jit, apps2sd and open recovery 1.46 installed. I had previously used rsdlite 4.5.3 to flash my phone but now it won't detect my phone after i installed jit, apps2sd and open recovery 1.46. Anyone can help? Thanks.

put your device into bootloader mode by pressing vol down + camera key + on button
before that you must install motorola usb driver first

i managed to get it to work..problem was caused by my pc and not the phone..zzz..anyway thanks for the help!

make sure you are in bootloader mode but not in recovery mode
recovery mode: a "!" sign will appear
bootloader: dark backgroud and just some numbers and letters

when you connect your phone to computer, not your phone name but the name of the cpu (OMAP3440)will be identified

Same problem

I am having the same problem as you do. I had a stock Milestone. I fully rooted it through SuperOneClick. I wanted to install CyanogenMod so I had to flash it with the recovery SBF.
I have installed the latest motorola drivers and RSD. I boot it using Up on D-Pad and power, plugs it to computer. The flash drivers shows a successful installation.
I open up RSDLite with administrator rights. Still, it doesn't recognize my phone. I tried it on every way I could imagine. Open RSD first, after; plug first, after.
My battery is fully loaded.

My device is a rooted Milestone running on Android 2.2.1.
Kernel 2.6.32.9
It has superuser installed and has been flashed with ClockworkMod 3.1.0.2 using ROM manager. That was because I wanted to backup my stock ROM aswell. It doesn't work either. After booting it shows the yellow exclamation mark and freezes.

What else could it be? :/
Thanks in advance

Solved.

I figured it out. I wiped out all my data from the phone (back to factory settings option) and it is now flashing fine through RSD Lite.
Pretty simple.

Hey guys. I a having same problems as described above. Namely, I succesfully installed moto , instaled RSD, and have the sbf. The problem is that though my phone is running bootloader, and displays that there is a USB connection, the cpu doesnt show that a phone is connected. Therefore, RSD is blank and doesnt show device (so i cant START the sbf flash. Any suggestions? One note, when I go into Recovery to wipe my data there is the following two lines of text on the bottom of the screen :

"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E: an't open /cahe/recovery/caller"

Those errors in recovery are harmless. Recovery is basically saying that it cannot find a downloaded OTA package to automatically apply.

Unfortunately I don't flash in windows, but based on threads in the past, these seem to be driver or permissions problems (maybe you need to be admin when running RSD, dunno). FWIW I use sbf_flash on Linux
