Help HOW TO: Installing Froyo 2.2

[Deleted User]

Lastly, as an academic question, what is it about this leak that allows us to install it without Root, Custom Recovery, or a ROM Manager? I am still trying to understand these terms better, but they seem to come up in any discussions of manual OS changes.

The only reason we need root/custom recovery/ROM manager is because the community wants to be able to flash ROMs to the phone that are not digitally signed by Motorola. The bootloader checks for the digital signature before it will flash the ROM.

Since this ROM is leaked, it's officially from Motorola and thus is digitally signed.

I've been stuck on the moto logo for 5 min... should i be worried? i haven't seed the droid eye yet.

Just be patient, all will be OK. Only if it boots from the eye to the Moto logo should you worry.

Good explanation. Thanks.

Also, is there currently a defined method of obtaining Root on this leaked 2.2 update, if you don't have Root at the time that you install it?

No go for me as well
E: signature length doesn't match EOCD marker
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Any ideas?

Hit the search button when you get that screen. The magnifying glass, rightmost one. It'll bring you in after that.

 

[rjoudrey]

Long press the file, edit, move. Up, up to sdcard. Long press in sdcard, edit, paste.

Turn off, disconnect from the pc, pull the battery, assemble then reboot. Step away from the ledge!

Try downloading with your computer, then plug your USB cable into your phone and drag the status bar down from the top of your phone and make sure it's in PC Mode. This will add the drive to Windows and you'll see a removable drive. This assumes you've already installed the Motorola 4.6.5 drivers.

What is the root of the SD card???

Root is the main area of your SD Card, ie. not inside any folder. It's the equivalent of your computer's "C" drive.

If you just have the file on your pc can you just copy and paste it to the sd card through the usb? No particular folder, right? Just copy and paste it in the sd card?

[BIG CAT 7]

Yes, root of the SD Card.

By root you mean click the device storage folder and then paste it with all the other folders? Just making sure..

Did you try holding down the right buttons while inserting the battery? Just be patient someone here will help you if I can't.
