Stumped - Froyo Update

[csantoro85]

I originally tried installing the update at work today, but it would always fail. I have come home, unrooted my phone, and restored the phone to factory settings, and that has failed as well. I really do not know what to do to be able to get the update to push through. Can anyone help me? I checked all my files before I did the Factory Reset and they were on there correctly.

Did you install the 2.1 sbf? That's what I had to do.

 

[csantoro85]

I'm not very savy on the technical side. I'm researching that, but can you advise me on what that exactly means and what I'd have to do?

Sounds like you need to flash your sbf file. Happened to me this morning.

Follow these. It's not hard, just make sure you follow each step carefully.

Folks have it right, you need to flash to the 2.1 sbf file to receive the 2.2 OTA

Would anyone be willing to give me a step by step walkthrough over a Messenger Client like AIM?

How do I even figure out which windows drivers I need? The 32 bit or 64 bit?

 

[csantoro85]

I just executed everything and got the Error "Failed Flasing Process'. Can someone advise where to go from here?

Thanks Martin, I figured that part out. I attempted flashing the phone and it keeps saying Fail. I really don't know what to do at all from here.

 

[Martin030908]

Have you tried booting your phone back up at all?

What i can do is help you by remote access.

On my first attempt I did not have it correctly loaded into BootLoader Mode. I am correctly in it now and am attempting it.
