Flashing won't work!

Not for me but for someone I was helping. Some reason doing everything right with putting it on the droid, rename to update.zip, going to recovery and allow installation and then install always gets aborted.
This happened for awhile with the rooting link to give him root access but then out of no where he tried and it worked... but then it happened again with trying to give him Froyo ROMs (tried several different ones!)
And naming it update instead of update.zip worked for the first one so we stayed on that path. But idk, I sweat everything we do is right from the last word. I never had this happen with someone I tried helping and I want to know what's going on.

As for the original froyo link in the news section, I know we need to extract it and put it in the nandroid but we couldn't even extract that file cause it popped out errors and stuff. I couldn't even extract it.
But tried bugless and chevy's update.zip way and just wouldn't work.

 

any idea?? lol

 

No cause I was the one helping him. And I gave him the link to this thread so he should post on here sometime whenever.




As for the others, yes it seems corrupt and it's very weird, never seen this happen. It's like nothing will work, I'll let the person having trouble tell you what exactly was going on. I think it just kept aborting

 

I made him try both ways, first they both were failing but just naming it update worked finally out of nowhere and got him rooted so we stuck to that path
