Help Cannot update...

Hello!

I've been having some issues with my phone. After rooting, I think I deleted some things that I shouldn't have...

First, I cannot use the "Messages" app...

I've downloaded close to 20 update.zip files online for 2.2 and cannot seem to update via Bootloader!

I get an error:

Installing update...
assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop"
, "ro.build.fingerprint") == "version/voles/shol
es/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-k
eys" ||

I'm not sure what to do?

Please help!
 
You posted in the right forum. I always ask in this forum because we have a lot of members post in here but are using a different device.
 
Omg, thank you so much! That's exactly what I want to do, too! I have most things saved on my computer, so starting over doesn't matter to me! I don't really need a cell phone, which is why I'm OK with the original Droid...but I do need something like a PDA, you know? So it's a wifi only thing!

Again, thank you so much! I hope it works!
 
The best thing to do is start your phone over from scratch.

You are going to need to download the latest update here and use rsdlite to flash it.

it has been awhile so bear with me.

Download the file above
download rsdlite here and install it.
open rsdlite plug in your phone select charge only. your phone should show up in under devices.
click on the "..." symbol and locate the file you downloaded earlier and select it
click un-compress (or decompress) and flash
let rsdlite do it things
when the phone reboots click on the android and sign in again. This will make your phone stock out of the box. but everything should be working again.
 
I can't remember what the options are. Does your phone show up in rsdlite? As long as rsdlite see's your phone you are good to go. Try each usb setting to see which one works.
 
It isn't showing up at all :( I get the "USB Connected" notification and the "USB debugging connected" notification. USB Connected only allows me to turn on USB Storage.

I can't seem to find the "Connect to PC" like my MyTouch 3G had, either...

Also, I've tried multiple USB cords and only one of them seems to be working with my phone :mad:
 
Nope...nothing there. I've had debugging on since the beginning, too. I turned it off, and still nothing. Noob question (obviously) should I have ADB installed on my computer? :confused:
 
So...if you were near me, I'd kiss you right now (maybe). Seems to be working! I tried it via Bootloader (Hold the UP side of the D-Pad while rebooting) and it showed up!

TO BE CONTINUED!
 
You are seriously my favorite person on the internet right now, by far. Please send me a PM and let me know if there is anything I can do to repay you. I've been trying to fix this for a month now!
 
Nothing to repay but pay it forward. If you see someone else needing help do what you can or point them here. Glad to see everything working again.
