Sorry to jump in here...but I have a hair-brained idea that you might like to try to giggles. If not, it's all good...

Have you tried using something like DMUpdater to root your phone/flash recovery, then turn around and use DMUpdater to return the phone to stock? Not sure if that'd fix the problem, but it could be quicker than taking it to a store, especially given that it's the weekend...and Easter...

If you'd like to give this crazy idea a shot, you can get dmupdater here... DroidMod Updater 11 - DroidMod

If you'd rather go to Verizon (Not the worst idea by any means), that's cool too. Just thought I'd offer a different approach. I used DMUpdater to root AND unroot my phone multiple times and I got the ota without a hitch this morning around 2am...Can't promise that it'll work for you at this point though, unfortunately.

I did everythign you said. After reinstalling 2.0.1 from DMupdater I factory reset my device and after sync the 2.1 notification from Verizon came. I opted to install now and got this message in recovery mode:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.


What the F! is going on? Yes, I've been lazy to bring it to verizon but I may have to at this point unless someone has another idea I can try
