That's is just the bootloader. Try turning off your phone and unplugging the USB cord. Then powerit back on, it should show a bootlogo them animation that will Las for a few minutes the first time.

Are you talking about the Motorola drivers? If so those are usb drivers that allow your computer to communicate with your phone in order to sbf. If you were already able to sbf and rsd said "pass" then in all likelyhood your drivers are fine.

Your sbf should have worked as long as rsd completed with a pass and if your phone hasnot gotten stuck in a bootloop. From what I understand it is very difficult to actually brick your phone while doing an sbf.

how is sbfing different from doing a factory reset?

how is sbfing different from doing a factory reset?

.sbf resets /system (what ROMs change, etc.)
Factory reset just clears /data and /cache (user and app data and settings).
