Hi,

Can someone please provide me with a working link for the Known problem as it is not working.

Known Issues

• Sometimes, even when you have done everything right in RSD Lite - the start button remains greyed out. You must launch it by command line on such occasions:
  Download this batch file, copy it and the SBFs you wish to flash into the RSD Lite folder and then drag and drop the SBFs you wish to flash onto it.
• Sometimes RSD Lite is unable to restart the phone as it needs (RSD Lite will read: Please manually power up this phone). If this happens you must manually assist the phone in flashing. Thanks to tazd for reporting this issue and finding the workaround.
  1. Disconnect the USB cable and shut the phone down.
  2. Start the phone up in bootloader mode.
  3. Reconnect the USB cable. RSD Lite should continue now.

Ok , so the official 2.2.1 update is out. I actually made the mistake of installing it using motorola software update (after reverting to a nandroid backup of the stock rom). Now i can't use any form of open recovery , got , or anything else. The error message is one i haven't seen on this forum yet.

Verifying update signature
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:Signature verification failed

I'm not a newbie at this thing. Went through about 5 roms until now. I just wanted to try the stock froyo because CM (which i thought was the best) kept freezing and rebooting on its own. Now i can't even restore my nandroid backups.

HELP

EDIT:ROM Manager's option to flash cwr doesn't work either.

Hello, I've been searching far and wide for working links and can't seem to fine any, can anyone please help? Here is my phone's info just in case, and I'm running on the AT&T network. My purpose is to get rooted, get the Android market on this phone and also want to be able to overclock and oh I want to be able to run it on the 3G network as I'm on the edge network as of now. Once again I have read countless treads and forms with no luck of finding the files I need, I'v even tried Googling the links and files individually but ALL of them are broken and I MEAN ALL OF THEM, please help, just got the phone, I really want to be able to use it as my daily driver because I've always wanted this phone even when it first came it out, and now that I have it I'm extremely happy, just got to make a few changes to use it now. Thanks in advance.
