Where is the root of the sd card?
O.K I got it. I just renamed the zip file update (without the .zip) and placed onto my sd card.
Worked like a charm.
Thanks Syntrix!

Worked great for me! awesome and thx!

Thrilla98

you sir are the winner, thanks, updating now.

syntrix

Hmmm, i renamed to update.zip, copied to the root dir of the sd card and did the reboot magic.

Are you saying you only named it update, and had windows EXTENSIONS turned off?

Ultimately, the file needs to be named update.zip, there are windows options for this. Windows problem, probably nothing more. Check your options/tools to rename extensions.

I had the same error. I had downloaded it on my Mac. It unzipped it automatically so it was a folder with all the files in it. I did it on my PC and it stayed as a zip and was able to rename and copy to the phone and it worked. Are you trying this on a Mac?

Just upgraded. Worked nicely. Thanks

cdodge

yeah dont make this mistake like i did

CrackberryMike

Works almost exactly as described i.e. power on by holding the X and the power button at the same time, "not" after turning the power on.

I got the following error, however, I did upgrade, but I'm still at the old baseband version:

Correct...it is already a zip file so just rename it UPDATE.

Got_Droid

Worked for me...No issues...

Matthew

Well that was easy.

I don't notice a difference in the home screen scrolling but I do notice that the camera has dropped the wait time between pictures from about 8 seconds to 5. Still a long time but at least it's an improvement.

I don't believe it's a location thing. Maine, not that it matters. But since it's failing out at verifying current system, I would think that there's something wrong with my current system.

droidmoto

Still getting "E:signature verification failed / Installation aborted"
Tried every tip in both threads...

Turn file extensions off, and then name it "update". If file extensions is turned on, then it should warn you when you delete the actual extension, as opposed to part of the name. Easiest way is to turn off FE and then rename it.

That shouldn't matter, it has to do with file extensions, read my post above.

CatsTide

yup...working now

Thrilla98

thanks for the responses, update finished. Noticeably faster screen transitions, gonna play some more.

syntrix

Actually, this was on the first version:

Power back on with this: hold the the X key on the keypad and THEN, OR at the same TIME, next hold the power button (top right button).

I added the "same time" info just now based on your post. X then power has worked on a few so far.

syntrix

Good stuff about windows, basically it's gotta have a true name of update.zip on the SD, regardless of how windows sees it

RobStemen

Got my chance to play around with it, and it is blazin'! Among other things. Since I had gotten down to 20 or so % BEFORE I updated, I have to wait till tomorrow to give the "improved battery life" a run for it's money. I'm almost glad I didn't get an iPhone (almost)

memphiskat

When I downloaded the file (OSX) I got a folder named "signed-voles-ESD56-from-ESD20" which then contains subfolders, it is unzipped I guess. Can I just rename this file "update"?

RobStemen

Yes, I believe so.

VeryApe

I would suggest redownloading it, possibly from another link, then trying again.

Also, the Isles suck, Go Pens!

The file needs to be "update.zip" on the SD of the droid. I'm sure there's an OSX (or other os) setting to view that, but I have no idea.

It's downloaded as a *.zip, so so in theory you just need to rename the extra parts if ".zip" does not show.

DroidDid

Worked great. Thanks for the download links.

soulesschild

Took me awhile to get the phone into recovery mode but now it's going along fine.

crowell392

some one needs to make this a you tube vid

Campah

I give up. I'll just wait for the OTA update to most likely fail the same way then bring the phone back. I'm pretty convinced there is something wrong with my existing OS since that's the part that fails the check.

pakeha

tried following directions, but it says it cant download the "update" as it is not supported by phone. anyone have suggestions?

b3nder

don't know if this got mentioned before or not but... you are able to download the file directly to your droid, then with Astro file manager, rename the file to update.zip (astro makes extenstions real simple when you 'rename' under edit) .. then under edit, you can move it to the root directory of the SD card (not the root directory of the phone) reboot and proceed with steps. worked awesome, didn't even need a PC to upgrade. thank you orig poster!!

syntrix

Who the hell merged the topics? You got a first post with misinfo, and my add with all the right info?

MODS?

edit: Nope, my info is gone, this was orginally my topic, and I updated the first post over time.... it's gone, yay.

This is what I did.. worked like a charm.

IslesFan

That appears to have done the trick, I downloaded it from Windows instead of Mac OS X.

PS: I haven't been to the nassau mausoleum in years.

2.0.1! Thanks guys

Can't download the file, anyone else?

Havn't installed yet but if you are using Safari in OSX you need to go to safari/preferences/general tab and uncheck "open safe files after downloading" . Then when you download the file it will remane a .zip file. Gonna try the
install in a little bit.

Thanks so much for posting this!

pakeha

clueless here, but downloaded file, renamed update, now how do i move it to sd card??? any help?

syntrix

Some mod merged topics and failed.

I had the full howto, but it's not there anymore, some mod deleted it. Then when you click on my topic, it's a different topic.

It used to be the full step by step (howto). Hmmm, this site can DIAFJB if they can't restore, since I was compiling and updating the first post on the fly.

The first post is not mine anymore and it does NOT have complete info, the mods need to answer about this.

Mods need to restore the facts, the op used to be me, but it's not me now. The subject changes when you link into this forum.

Mods need to restore my OP, or else you might not be able to figure out an early update.

...... waiting for the mods....... I'm sure it's an "honest mistake"

Redflea

For those of you having problems, couple of things to try.

- Delete the file from your SD card and copy it over again from your PC. Make sure you unmount the Droid before disconnecting the USB cable.

or

- 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.

rbusta

I was having the signature fail error.

It is much easier to use Astro File manager as described rather than try and mess with the download in OSX.

Download from droid.
Open astro file manager
navigate to sdcard/downloads
long hold the file just downloaded>edit>rename name update.zip
long hold update.zip>edit>move
navigate to folder sdcard
press menu on the droid>edit>paste

now you have the file in the right location named correctly.
proceed with the normal instructions.

oops! quoted the wrong post! my bad man!

Basically, someone merged and probably accidently deleted my howto (howto in the thread topic is what I what I wrote.

Good luck with the lack of info until the mods fix the problem.

chill pill in order?
