Ok.. I see where I can download the zip.. but it gives no instructions as to what to do with the xml inside..

Pretty much - consider me a noob at this!! ha!

The other option is to moto-fastboot the system.img

Just in case you haven't done this make sure that you are in an Administrator user mode or in the Administrator user profile. I was having trouble with my Bionic on a recent fastboot to stock and It would get to 5/22 and then Fail I ended up shutting off my Wireless and shutting down the Virus protection while I ran the RSD Lite program and then it went through with no problems. Maybe that's what you need to try if you haven't yet?

Appears the link they have given to DL the FXZ zip file is no longer valid.. in using what you provided previously there is only one xml file and that will not work with RSD.. I feel like i'm missing something here.. I've searched all over the place and just can't seem to find the right files.

PM me when you have time and we will get your phone back to stock.

edit: n/m think I found it...

for the life of me, I CAN NOT root my Bionic. I have gone to multiple site and tried motofail, Pete's and one click. For whatever reason the .dll file can't be opened on my laptop. i am going bonkers. suggestions please? and thank you.

What System version is on your Bionic ..901,.902.,904?
That would help determining which Root tool can get the job done?

. 902. Does that really make that much of a difference??

Also, after rooting, what's the best "black market " to get the rooted aops i want/need??

I can't really comment on how .902 is as I do not have a Bionic.

However, I am curious as to what you mean about the "black market" for apps. If you are looking to get paid apps for free I just wanted to give you a heads up that we have a strict policy against discussing that topic. If you mean something else then I apologize for misinterpreting your question.
