    Noob: trouble with update.zip files

    So I have just updated my droid to v0.8 of Bugless Beast Rom. I have now tried to run the update to bump it up to v0.9. I download the file, change it to "update.zip". Move file to SD Card. Reboot, click on install. Then click on "Allow update.zip Installation". Screen does nothing. I then click on "INstall /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated). It takes about one second and this is what shows up.

    -- Install from sdcard...
    Finding update package...
    Opening update package...
    Verifying update package...
    Installing update...
    Rooting your phone...

    Install from sdcard complete.
    ---

    The status bar at the bottom is never completely yellow, only a minor fraction is yellow.

    When I reboot my phone nothing has changed and it still says I'm running v0.8.

    The update.zip problem occurs for all updates I have tried.

    I am running 0.99.3b

    Help please?

    Wrong update.zip. Thats one to root your phone.

    Check the size. I bet its ~10.2mb.

    What is the link you are using for your update.zip download? to me it sounds like you aren't downloading the update.zip file for the ROM, but rather for root or something.

    You could be correct.

    Here is the link to the page I was using. If I shouldn't post it let me know and I'll delete it.

    I'd rather see the specific file you are trying to use.

    How big is it? The one on your sd card.

    That's what I want him to link...as in, what update.zip he is downloading. Not the thread in which he is downloading it from.
