update.zip file

[erich]

I have been trying to reroot my droid now for 2 hours and I can't seem to get a working update.zip file. Every time i try it tells me:

E: Failed read footer from sdcard/update.zip (Is a directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

I have tried multiple different files and I just can't seem to get past this. Any ideas?

Are you extracting the update.zip?

Are you making sure it says update.zip and not update.zip.zip

I download the droid-superuser_update.zip file and rename it to update.zip and get the error

Is it on the root of your sdcard? Not in a folder...

hmm the update.zip is showing as a folder and it is under /sdcard

Ok if you're using astro it should look like a box with files in it. Are you downloading straight to your phone or to pc?

i bet you have it as update.zip.zip just rename it to update

 

[erich]

i made sure it wasn't update.zip.zip and i renamed it with astro to update.zip just to make sure

 

[erich]

it does look like a box with 3 files sticking out of it

Actually I think the file is getting unzipped somewhere. He' get a file not found error in recovery if it was just named wrong. And from his description of it being a folder leans towards it being unzipped so its the wrong format.

Long press it and in details how big is the file? Should be about 10MB.

Everything looks right. Can you try it again? If it doesn't work we can go another route to get you rooted.
