Figure i'd post this in a new thread so it doesn't get overlooked in the droid root thread.

Download it here: https://android.clients.google.com/updates/voles/signed-voles-ESD56-from-ESD20.84263456.zip

How to install:

1. rename to update.zip
2. put in root of sd card
3. turn off phone
4. boot into recovery http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=503
DO NOT SELECT "WIPE DEVICE" OR YOUR DEVICE WILL BE WIPED (OBVIOUSLY )
5. install update.zip
6. ????
7. profit!

- you need to have file extensions showing when you rename the file, otherwise you effectively name the file update.zip.zip and that's what causes the error mentioned above. When extensions aren't on, it assumes that anything you type in for the file name should go before the extension. Both Windows and OSX have options for this in Explorer and Finder respectively.

Thanks Tabs for this info ^

- Re-download the file and try the entire sequence again...and as above, make sure you unmount before disconnecting the USB cable

Power-cycle the Droid before starting the application of the update in either case

No certainty any of this will help, just standard troubleshooting steps.

Enjoy

Thanks to "lostboykev" over at AllDroid.org - Index page for the file.
