[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Tormado:
Hey all, thanks for taking your time to read and possibly help me out with my problem. Yesterday I've tried rooting my droid in order to put cyanogen mod on it later. The reason I was interested in doing that was because I felt as droid was not working to it full potential and constantly crashing apps on me (browser, games, weather, etc). A friend of mine suggested cyanogen as he himself owns it. Being that I've did plenty of CFW on PS2, psp, xbox and mp3s/ipods, I thought there shouldn't be a hassle with this.

I followed the procedures listed on cyanogen's wiki page in order to complete the rooting process. But on the step where it asked to instal .sbf file trough RSD lite and wait till it says "pass" I've ran into trouble.

During the unpacking of that file to the phone using RSD lite the phone was undergoing several reboots, and after finally finishing the reboots on my PC screen in the RSD Lite window it showed 100% complete "please reboot the phone manually". I had no idea how to do that manually as the phone just kept going on and off by itself. (also for some reason it kept saying "error" force close/wait/send notice. But I thought it was probably just the process. After trying to reboot the phone a couple of times nothing worked. I didn't receive any "pass" signs on the droid screen.

I've got a little worried about the whole process and decided to shut the phone off and during that close the RSD Lite on my computer. Doing that made no further improvements for me. The phone just kept going on and off like crazy while in USB and not turning on at all while not plugged into either USB or AC. I've decided to go to recovery mode and just reset everything to stock as I was running out of time and had to get some sleep before work next day. After reseting the cache/data files I rebooted the phone but the same things kept happening to it. Now it was asking me to reconnect with gmail account and all that intro stuff. But the phone would always end up locking up and shutting off somewhere in the process of reconnecting the account.

Fast forward to today I've read that its possible to complete reset everything to stock version trough .sbf file once again. But now the problem consists of the phone not having enough batter life. (I'm not sure what the screen is called where the process of dumping .sbf trough RSD lite starts) but that screen keeps saying battery is too low to do anything with it. And mind me it has been charge for a very long time now in the AC adapter.

Now it also appears as the problem has worsened. The phone does not start up at all in either USB or without connection. It only starts up in AC adapter but then it shuts off in 2 minutes and back on and off , on and off. Recovery mode can't be accessed in any way, at least any way known to me. The black .sbf screen can only be accessed while the phone is not connected to anything but still keeps saying the battery is too low. And I've noticed the phone getting extremely hot during AC charge. (another small detail that sometimes when the phone does turn on and goes to home screen opening up the landscape view does not increase the length of the top (pull down) bar in horizontal view.

I've tried taking out both battery and sdcard and putting them back but no luck. I'm really lost as to what I can do next in order to fix this problem.

If you need any further information please let me know and thank you again for trying to help me!
