Default Can Someone Please Tell me How to Update To Froyo?

Okay, So I rooted my phone already Using Superoneclick.
Then, to update my phone to froyo, I tried the instructions found here:
2.2.1 FroYo for the Huawei Ascend the Super Easy 5 step picture guide. Works for Cricket and Metro. | foodforyourphone.info

Basically All It did was Wipe my phone back to the state it was when I bought it. The only things that were left were: the factory Applications, The APN settings (It said that would be wiped too) SuperOneClick app, and one obscure contact (don't ask me how). The Phone is still running 2.1.
Someone, PLEASE, help. Give me some way that will work, because It doesn't look like Huawei/Cricket/MetroPCS is going to release that update any time soon (Or ever).

Your download got corrupted. You will have to use a card reader and use that to put a new zip on the card. There is a md5 checksum on the page to check to make sure the file isn't corrupted. If you don't know about md5 Google it and get one of the free programs.

Kinda funny but the foodforyourphone site download sends you to the same site as prepaid androids and xda developers. It is the same file. I used it and am running 2.2.1 right now.

A fixed very stable version of dark lgs 2.2.1 (thanks to Etnie and Isaac for the fixes) I like the bone stock 2.2 rather than cm6 thats all hacked up to mash with the ascend. not that its a bad rom its just not my preference. No umi card errors but still no mms which im fine giving up. I have a flash of cm6 and 2.1 on my phone in case i want to send mms. I feel like some people jump to conclusions about things that are not on PPA XDA or AF calling them infected when most of it is the same thing in a different package. If you want cm6 you can find it if you want stock 2.2.1 that is what the foodforyourphone.info site offers. Not everyone is being shady or deceptive. just my 2 $.01

I'm only reporting what I have been told by windows owners who have had a small (seemingly harmless) virus pop up, not from z4root.

Just because a link goes to a known good site doesn't mean the link isn't a redirect through an infected source.
