    did you rename the file to update.zip ? and have it on the top level of the SD card?
    same here both 2.01 and root it reads
    --Install from sdcard...
    finding update package...
    opening update package...
    Verifying update package...
    E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
    E:signature verification failed
    installation aborted

    and it reads the same for the root file?

    you may need to just rename the file to "update". Its already a zip file, so renaming it to "update.zip" actually makes it update.zip.zip......

    Ok.. I'm back to here again.. at the bottom I do have an error that says "Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

    I had that error last time too when it didn't work.

    Again, I'm at the same place, I've scrolled down "with my volume switch" to where it says "apply sdcard:update.zip"

    And its doing nothing.... how do you choose?... I simply turned the phone off last time and it rebooted without updating?

    Your DROID is now running 2.0.1 instantly without waiting.
    This part was a bit confusing because I just didn't install after navigating to where it says "update.zip".. it just sat there forever....

    I did have to hit the power button to turn off the phone... then it rebooted and installed on its own.....but I still have the old firmware.... mine didn't take.

    guess I'll try it again.
    I updated my instructions -- when you have apply update.zip selected, press the gold button (center button) on the D-Pad to install.

    Forgot to make tihs point as well.

    If you don't see a .ZIP extension at the end of the file DO NOT add one. Only add the .ZIP on the end if there was one before.

    Yeah make sure in Windows/OSX/whatever you have "Show file extensions" or something similar turned on in the Explorer/Finder etc options. If you don't it's going to effectively give the file two extensions like Mawnee said.

    I renamed the file before copying it to the SD Card using Win7 x64 and it worked great, just make sure file extensions are on.

    Sweet!... that was the missing link!... mines updating now!
