can't open /cache/recovery/command

Using root explorer

Ok. Navigate to the system /bin folder. You will see three files that you need to mess with

1.) Hijack
(whatever date you installed it) size
Delete this file completely.

2.) then find this.....
logwrapper
(whatever date you installed it) rwxrwxrwx -> hijack
( so remove the permission,any one,from this file or you can rename it to something else or move it somewhere else. Just so the system doesnt touch this file.)(dont go back to messing with it)


3.) then find this file.
logwrapper.bin
19 aug blah blah rwxr-xr-x (remove the .bin from this file)(and i added the permissions to be similiar to the before mentioned logwrapper file.)(but it doesnt seem you need to even do the permission thing.)


then leave out of root explorer.


4.) reboot your phone into stock recovery and apply update.zip which you should already have on your phone's sdcard.

im getting the above error when i open in recovery mode. then after i try to apply sdcard:update/zip i get "failed to read footer from /sdcard/update.zip (is a directory)
esignature verification failed
installation aborted
i've tried everything but cannot figure out what i'm missing. appreciate any words of wisdom.

thx

If I flashed the SBF to get rid of the bootstrapper and then didn't re-root, will I have to wait until somebody finds a way to root 2.2? Just curious, didn't really need the root now or any time soon.

Has anyone tried root using any of the one click root apps after they manually updated to 2.2? I don's really have any reason to be rooted now, but was wondering if it would be possible after the fact.





thanks,

I would not do this! to go backwards to go forward n then win a real rom comes out! then what go back again? no way . Koush has done Excellent work! the recovery the way it was built for the D1 the only diffrence is the x has a bootstrapper on it . but the x is now ready for a rom . not a update! not all this crap going back to stock . I will wait for Koush roms or a rom that uses the clockwork way. People use your heads
