Root Help help help help

Can you give a few more details. What is saying the file is bad? Where exactly are you seeing that message?

When I click on the zip to flash it, it either says signiture was not verified, or error: zip (bad)

It only says this on the new froyo roms. For example, Adryenylnes 2nd Wave ROM works like a charm, but his 3rd and 4th Wave ROMS have the error.

How about throwing a Rom onto a different SD card and give it a shot. Got any others you could use if only temporarily? It'd be nice to rule out the card before you start taking more drastic measures. Maybe I should have asked this first...have you tried loading any Roms directly from Rom Manager?

Doesnt work from another SD card, and ROM Manager doesnt load them either. I'm getting worried...

In Clockwork > Install zip from SD card > Toggle signature verification

Is yours set to on or off? If it's on, change it to off.

Seems like the failure using Rom Manager might squelch that theory but before you get too far into this, might be worthy of a quick check.
When its on, it says signiture verification failed. When its off, its says its a bad zip. :(

1.) Can you successfully unzip any of the failed zips on your PC without getting an error?

2.) Is your SD card full by any chance? No room to unzip?

BTW, anybody know what partition Clockwork unzips Rom files to prepare for install?

Edit: I guess #2 is unlikely since you tried a second card. Nevermind that one. Just to be sure though, your card is being recognized by the phone right... I.E. you can browse card contents?
