I am a stupid D2G N00b, please help

[bweN diorD]

Ironically I was JUST able to find RSDLite 4.9, it will not read my device though . . I have the most current Motorola drivers (4.9). My computer will not even recognize my phone. SO frustrated.

i had the same problem. look at the second post Droid 2 Global SBF File (2.4.29) Full and RSDLite
you can start the flash while the phone is on, thats the only way i could get it to work.
