Okay, I'm boot looping. Tried to do the "three line ever root method" from the development thread "[HOW TO] Update to 2.3.6 OTA Preserving Root Access! Working!! And Tested!"

which I believe incorrectly states:

"chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk"

Where as this thread says :

"chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk"

My problem now is trying to flash with RSD Light 5.6, I keep getting the following error:

"SDL
Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing. "

I've downloaded the FXZ file three times, checking MD5 each time.

Some background:
New phone
2.3.5
One click root

Please Help!

Actually your issue was using ES file manager... In the other thread that you posted in about keeping root through the OTA. There is a post that states NOT to use ES file manager, it messes up the mount_ext3.sh files permissions. The reason I do the 644 perms is because I am a UNIX guy by trade, and adding that 4 to the beginning runs the script as root, which is not needed and a huge security issue... so 644 should do exactly what is needed, and not leave a huge security issue on your phone.

You will need the original fxz file, then look at the noob thread, on ho to flash the fxz.

Here is the how to, after you have updated to 2.3.6, this goes with the 2.3.5 fxz noted here in the OP....

How to flash the FXZ once applying the OTA update and get back to 2.3.5, ONCE YOU UPDATE TO THE OTS 2.3.6 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH THE 2.3.5 FXZ WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS BELOW!!

NOTE: Download this file HERE -
Unzip it and move all the the items in it to the stock fxz. You might get a warning about replacing files, just click OK. NOTE that Windows might not be able to handle the size of the fxz. I have 6 GB RAM but Windows still wasn't able to perform a drag-and-drop through the fxz's zip. I recommend that you just unzip the fxz and then put the files in. (You don't have to rezip it either, RSD Lite will still recognize it and will flash faster).

You should be able to use RSD Lite to flash the file.

Have you tried the manual way to flash with fastboot commands? I posted that elsewhere in this thread, and also in a few other places, but here it is again....

unzip the fxz file, then cd to that directory:


Code: 
 fastboot erase userdata 
fastboot erase cache 
fastboot flash system system.img 
fastboot flash boot boot.img 
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img 
fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
Now no guarantees that this works.

by default installing the android sdk doesn't change anything in the Windows PATH... since cmd didn't recognize the fastboot command I first I assumed that he didn't change anything to his PATH after installing the SDK.

This compile of fastboot looks for the windows api and dll in the .\lib\ directory, I think, so it needs to go where the rest of the other SDK exec files are, such as adb.

"Blur_Version.55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US" is for OTAs. "InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5" is the name of the fastboot file (fxz) for the MB865 (USA A2).

Check out the noob thread for a full tutorial.

Please reupload or there is a thing to sort this problem?

Multiupload site on the noob thread does not work either.
Thanks
