Root Downloading ROMs in RM

[glitch32]

I'm running RM v2.0.2.5 and when I try to download a new ROM, it gets most of the way through, then stops. Is there anyway to resume the downloading?? I've tried different ROMs with the same issue. Currently, I've downloaded SS 4.7 with the Watermark'd theme, and the ROM downloaded, but Watermark'd is stuck at 2%. Before that, CM6 stable got all the way to 95% then just sat there... Anyone else having trouble right now?

I just downloaded BB 0.4 and then went to install it and Clockwork said no update.zip existed on my SD card. Wonder why?

So...I am rebooting into a naked phone, and I guess I will download Appbrain from the market so I can get ROM Manager back on my phone and try this over again...
Sigh...

Take a look at:
/clockworkmod/download/androidoverdrive.com/pete/FROYO/

and see if you can find
FRF84BV04.ZIP

I am wondering if one of my setCPU profiles has anything to do with this? I set it to 250Mhz while the screen is off. I usually don't have trouble with turning it back on, but maybe it's causing the download to stop at some point?

I just restarted the download and it seems to be working now. I guess I'll find out if it finishes the download in a few minutes.

I have been seeing an occasional market glitch where the progress bar in the market gets stuck, but the file has actually downloaded and installed. If this happens to you again, try hitting the back button and then selecting downloads again. This has cleared it up for me (except in one instance where it was stuck until I rebooted.)

Dave,
thanks for the help. I found a zip where you suggested and I am currently downloading it.

This will be my first ROM so I am fairly stoked about it.

It was like the first time I got slapped...I mean kissed...

Dave,
Thanks again. It worked very well and I am now running BB 0.4 and getting all my backups sorted out etc...
What an enjoyable learning experience this was in all actuality today.

I appreciate your help.


Cheers.

Glad to hear it buddy.

Once you've got a full backup of your phone, I'd suggest copying the data to another machine as well. It's a great feeling knowing that you can always go back and get it if you need to.
