    Losing my sanity - Rooting

    Hi

    I amtrying to root my UK 2.1 Milestone.

    I have followed all instructions down to a tee.

    I have installed the UK 2.1 update via RSD.

    I install the vulnerable sbf.

    I try to apply sdcard update.zip and I always get the same message:

    E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip(no such file or directory)
    Esigniture verification failed
    Installation aborted.

    I honestly cannot fathom what I am doing wrong. I have done it exactly as instructed ?

    It sounds like your vulnerable sbf might not be flashing for some reason.


    try using open recovery instead of the root update.zip. you can find it here.
    Open Recovery v1.05 [05/07/2010]

    There's some nice options and an easy root script.
