I am trying to install 2.2. I downloaded it using xscope but I can't figure out how to send it to my sd/root. Any suggestions?

Do you have Astro File Manager installed? If not install it, then when you open it the sccard root is /sdcard thats where the file needs to be and named update.zip. You can then search for it and long press for edit to copy and or move the file.

yeah I did that and i got the correct menu on the screen but no way to navigate it. I closed the slide, opened the slide, pushed buttons no response on the screen to highlight "apply sdcard:update.sip" and it says to push the gold center button to select it. Don't understand what that is. Thanks for the response.

Just gently press the camera button to select and it should work.

I have tried every download on this site including the one directly from Google. All the file sizes have been 45.2. Tried both methods through computer and via phone.
Here is what I get every time

E: can't open /cache/recovery/command

-- install from scdard...
finding update package...
verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

I have seen a few posts about the "e:signature verification failed" but nothing that mentions "e:failed to verify whole-file signature"

Never been rooted.
tried 8 times then did a factory reset and tried another 10 times.

Any ideas??????

I had to reinstall the camera since the one of my homescreen no longer worked. The new camera app is great. Much faster!

One problem I am having that I'm hoping someone can help with.

When I searched the market for Flash, I downloaded the "Adobe Flash Showcase" but when I try to go to a flash website I am prompted to download flash which links me to the Market which says that it cannot be found.

Anyone able to run flash who is running the OTA update?

When your camera stopped working did your phone lock up and then reboot? My phone locks up and reboots each time I try to use the camera.

I am not sure how to reinstall the camera, if this would even fix the problem. Any suggestions?

I'm having the EXACT same issue. I've tried every link, at least twice... and I've tried downloading directly from my phone. Breaks my heart everytime it doesn't pass lol.

ATTENTION: Motorola and Verizon have found issue with this OTA update and it is rumored that there will be another next week. For those who have already installed this, don't freak out, you will be able to install the new update right over this one. For those who have not already installed this, it's probably best to wait until next week. Stay tuned for more information..
