I was rooted on 2.1 and did a factory reset this morning. Now I can download 2.2 but it gets to about 30% through the installation and reboots the phone and then goes to the home screen then it says install failed. I am on my 5th try re-downloading and installing 2.2 with no luck......

Any tips???
 
Thanks for your response. No, I never put the leaked 2.2 on my phone. I had rooted 2.1 and un-installed amazon mp3, blockbuster and need for speed and thats all. Then I did a factory reset this morning. Does a factory reset not re-install those 3 apps that I removed?


edit: guess not..... Just noticed another thread in the Root forum about this same issue?

Yea there should be a wealth of info out there about how to get those files back on your phone. I never removed the bloatware so I don't have any experience there but I can tell you that 99.99% sure that is the problem you are having with your upgrade.
