    Ok so I put the update.zip in the root of the sdcard. I named it right, when i checked its properties it was update.zip, not update.zip.zip. well I just wiped my phone and im trying to root now, so i hit install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated) on sprrecovery and it says

    "Finding update package
    E: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
    (no such file or directory)
    E: Can't mount SDCARD: update.zip
    Installation aborted."

    What do I do now!?

    rename it "update", without quotes.

    Did you select "allow update.zip" first?

    flashing back to 2.0.1 takes a bit... if rsdlite finishes, and it's still saying "SW update..." then you can hit show device, but that's only happened to me once - i'd give it a bit and see if it reboots on its own

    are you trying to root 2.1 or do 2.2/Froyo?

    after you flashed 2.0.1, did you allow it time to download/install 2.1 over the air?

    it rebooted to 2.0.1 then I went to turn it off and open it in recovery mode, then i believe i went into SPRecovery and tried again to load the update.zip but that still didnt work so i went to reboot and it just stayed on the M screen. Im currently flashing back to 2.0.1 to try again hopefully, it is in the middle of the SW update, anybody wanna guide me from here please?

    Are you sure its called "update.zip"?

    Sometimes the .zip can be there already, but Windows doesn't show it -- so in theory if you name the file "update.zip" yourself, it really could be called "update.zip.zip".
