Root From stock 2.0.1 to Bugless Beast ROM (For beginners)

I think Error 25 is either you have the file named wrong or you didn't unzipped the backup. I forgot which.

ill redownload and reunzip maybe something didnt go right?

did you happen to unzip it and then rezip it? make sure when you download the update.zip, you dont let it unzip its self.

Also, did you hit "allow update.zip installation" before you hit "install update.zip"

also if you have done all that, try renaming the update.zip to just "update" and retry it

I had similar issue installing Chevy Kernals til I tried going from update.zip to "update". That worked for me thanks man!

Ok so I guess that's all I needed thanks for the help

That's because your computer is set to hide file extensions, most likely. So update.zip would be update.zip.zip for you. You really should look into showing extensions. Keeping them hidden is one of the best ways to open up malware accidentally. You will never know that harmlessdocument.doc.exe is actually a virus unless you do.

I don't see "DroidRootHelper" or Pro in the Market. Has it changed names or been replaced? What should I use as an alternate?

I'm in the same boat. Got everything else going... no Root Helper to change the restore setting.

Back to the drawing board I guess.

Welcome, this is a really old post. I don't think that the suggestions on rooting here would work on the current Froyo software AFAIK. I would check out the below link for the most current information on rooting

Thanks Skilaufen!

I'll have to do some more digging. I was hoping for something that was as step by step as this is, which is why I started here.

AFAIK? That something with that insurance company duck? LOL

Exactly. It's in case I'm wrong insurance. You know CYA

The forum link I posted will link you to threads with the step by step directions you wanted whether it is using the RSD method or one of the one-click rooting methods. It is all in those threads.

I ended up using Teddy's directions through his site. Took a couple tries, fat fingers on a laptop keyboard, but I got it.

Thanks again for your redirection and help!
