Sbf with linux?

[gill248]

Trying to sbf x2 but I am having problems finding instructions on linux. all the instructions said they ran rsd on windows. I have the file ready to run in a terminal but cannot find how to go into bootloader with x2 instead of rsd when holding volume down while powering on. any suggestions?

The Linux cd method isn't available for the x2 yet unless you're using Linux as your os ave using sbf flash ave even then I'm not sure of it

But bootloader mode for rsd ( or bootloader for anything really)

To manually put your device in bootloader mode:
Turn off device press and hold the up and down volume buttons power on device (continue to hold the up and down volume buttons) wala - you are in bootloader mode Launch RSDLite (make sure device appears in window
Select SBF
Start

Download sbf_flash and make it exec by chmod +ux then just have the sbf file and sbf_flash in the same directory. Power off your X2 then hold volume up and power, release power when it turns on release volume up when you see starting rsd protocol.

Plug the phone into the computer and issue the following command.

./sbf_flash whateverthenameofthefile.sbf

Obviously put the proper file name and also make sure it's been properly decompressed before trying to flash it.

also when the bootloader loads you can change to different options with the volume down button, there is a specific RSD option. the first option that loads is usually fastboot which is interesting... but you need RSD.

and the easy way to type a long filename in linux is to type out the first couple characters and hit the tab key it will fill in the rest for you, don't forget linux file names are case sensitive. you have to use the root console to do it or use sudo if you use ubuntu

the executable command is just:

chmod +x sbf_flash

(not +ux)

Oh, and Linux works way better than window$ at sbf flashing. It just works, no messing around.

the executable command is just:

chmod +x sbf_flash

(not +ux)

Although +x will work, I always set a user permission, it's more secure. Just a habit lol.

But when you select rsd option that is only if you are using using rsd in windows. When I use in a terminal it just. "waiting for phone." Does anyone know of the bypass hw or sw rsd works when sbfing in linux?

You still use rsd protocol mode. The quickest way to access this is to power off the phone, hold volume up then press power till the phone turns on. Release power once you see the motorola logo and release volume up when you see starting rsd protocol. Once your phone is in this state, you then plug it in to your computer and issue the command to start sbf_flash.
