RSD Lite not loading .rar files?

[justforflashing]

So, for the millionth time, Im trying to unlock my bootloader and now I cant get the RSDLite to even recognize .rar files. Its not even an option anymore as a file it will load. Ive deleted and reinstalled and still no option for .rar file. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also, where Im suppose to "cd to my fastboot", does that mean that the folder I created on my desktop and extract the fastboot zip into is where I cd to and then run the unlock command once Im in that folder??

Ive probably asked 7 or 8 times and even PM a few of the devs and have yet to get any help that makes it where I can understand, so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciate! Just PM me if you want or post here. It doesnt matter!

And if you do or can give advise, please dont just say "cd to where you have your fast boot and run it"? I dont 100% understand that.

Thanks in advance!!

Extract the sbf file from the rar. Flash.

That's because you don't pull .rar files into RSDLite. You need to get 7zip or Winrar and extract the .sbf from the zipped package. As far as the fastboot part, you need to put the folder somewhere easy to get to, such as right in your C:\ directory. Then you'll put into command prompt "cd C:\moto-fastboot" or whatever the name of the folder was. Then youll run the command "moto-fastboot oem unlock" blah blah as the instructions list.

Well ain't that some SHAT!! I knew I was forgetting a step and that was the extracting part! I seriously was about to dropkick my laptop!!!

SEE...SEE...and youre wondering why Im needing help unlocking!! POINT PROVEN!!

Thanks tho...much appreciated!

No problem, you gave it a valiant effort so I'll gladly get you back on track.

One last question...when I run the oem unlock command...once I cd to the fast boot folder, do I physically type in run or just the unlock command?

example - run moto-fastboot oem unlock
or
moto-fastboot oem unlock

Second one. You don't need to put run infront of anything in cmd prompt.

OK...MUCH APPRECIATED! I just PMd you another question!! SORRY!

Man your lucky. I had a few questions I posted in the unlocking thread and couldn't get one answer. I guess maybe next time I will just start a new thread in the dev section with my question. It really seems to get results.
