Rooted phone - problems updating OS

[gfryno]

I rooted my Droid 1 about 6 months ago to Android Version 2.2.1, build number FRG83D using instructions found in the article "Rooting the Droid 1 - regardless of OS version" at the following link:

Root Droid 1 - regardless of OS version

Several times per week, for the past several months, Verizon has been trying to push a FRG83G update to my phone and I cannot install it. It does not install on my phone, however, and I suspect it is due to how my phone was rooted (my understanding is that the root i installed has a component that rejects os updates).

I think I need a .zip file to download onto my phone and use that to apply the latest OS. Can anyone provide me a link to the latest stable OS for the Droid 1? Alternatively, does anyone have a link or instructions I can follow on installing the latest OS?

You can perform the update. If you are using sprecovery, you can allow update.zip, then install update.zip.

You can also install Pete's odexed or deodexed froyo 2.2.2 ROM at www.peteralfonso.com

Followed same post D1-root or unroot regardless of OS. Was rooted and running Sapphire for the longest. But, wanted fresh start, so, decided to flash FRG83G sbf file and revert back to stock, using this threads' procedures. Successfully installed Sbf recovery file (provided within thread)....however, my phone is rejecting the final prescribed 'update.zip' provided. Have validated this rejection is not due to an issue of file ext duplication.

Any suggestions welcomed. Just want to get rooted and start doing backups.

Thanks in advance, for anyone's help.

Are you flashing the sprecovery sbf file first?

Wow, thanks for your fast response!! Still currently working on this as I type. Looking like driver issue...had prob accessing links for the rsd lite in the thread ...but, dl'd elsewhere with compatible drivers...so far, so good. Just rebooted...am going to continue pushing forward thru this process.

Thanks again for your interest. Will update.

Just re-activated. Surprised to see alot of old stuff still on SDcard. I guess I expected MIUI and other pirate stuff to be gone too..like, a clean SDcard, straight from the factory. Just got your 2nd response. Thanks much. I love this place!!!!

Back, again. Same problem. Successfully installed the sbf recovery file. But, unable to install the update.zip. Message: Installation aborted.
"Can't Mount Sdcard/update.zip

I've validated 'Mount Options' in recovery program, per FAQ troubleshooting as well as changing over to a different USB port. I just don't understand. File extensions permissions are lifted to show file types. Haven't duplicated zip.zip.

Frustrating. Any ideas warmly welcomed.

sbf recovery file is being loaded first, per directions.

Thanks!

How about reseating the sdcard?
