so I tried to Root my Dream and choose after a number of failed attempts I have decided to just give up so I want to wipe and restore my phone's OS the factory but when I try though the settings menu the phone restarts then just sits on the "Rodgers" logo for ever so is there anyway to fix that?
Don't give up so soon
I definitely recommend rooting. The rogers firmware sucks by default imo. I did not like my phone at all until I rooted.
Check this guide by HyeProfile, I just used it on a new rogers dream and it worked 100%:

If you really don't want to root, you can follow the steps to try flashing (using the same instructions he gives in that post) with the official rogers radio.img and recovery.img here: http://www.stevebirstok.com/android/losemyroot.zip
well I hate how slow my phone feels so I'm going in for the root again thanks for the push to try again.
ok ran into an issue:
Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file of directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
when trying to apply update.zip

that means it can't see your sdcard.
see if dropping into the recovery console(alt+x) and typing
Code:
mount /sdcard
recovery
see if that helps anything since that command will mount your sdcard which it appears to be failing to read.
when I try enter the console all the options are removed form the screen then nothing happens all I see is the yellow text.
The yellow text I'm talking about is the error message I posted.
if you are trying to unroot it, use the same rc package that you use to downgrade it in the bootloader (camera and power) and run the .nbh there

Are you sure your sdcard is formatted to FAT32?
I'm going o try that when I get home
ok so it's weird.
E:Multiple firmware images
E:can't store hboot images
E:failure at line 1
write_hboot_image PACKAGE:hboot.img
install aborted
ok so now it just sits on the "Rogers" logo and wont enter any mode (camara+power)
edit: looks like that means I biked the thing hope they will replace it (i'll just blame it on their firmware update thing)
edit2: calling rogers to try get a replacement
will it it read an .nbh in the bootloader?
I don't know how can I test that or see if it will?
I was refering to the dreaimg.nbh from either rc29 or rc7 that you use to downgrade your phone in order to root it, that use the bootloader camera + power
no it wont enter any mode at all just sits on the rogers logo so a new phone should show up in the next 3 to 5 days
this kinda scares me off from trying again but I want to so I might.
got a all new phone and it still wont mount the Sd card like last time
ok so i helped some one root their rogers phone last night. are you trying to flash the radio, or have you followed all of the fastboot commands in the "rogers heres your real root" thread? the guy i was helping couldn't flash the radio but we got it with the fastboot commands
no I'm past loading recovery.img with fastboot and I'm trying to apply the update.zip
thats very odd. so you did all the fastboot commands and still can't get it to work?
is it any rom you try to flash?
well I was following the guide in one of the first posts
I hope this is a acceptable area to ask this:
I was trying to install a boot animation, more specifically the android peeing on apple. I tried the 480x800 version and got this:
# MANUAL MODE #
--Appling Muti-CSC...
Installing Muti-CSC
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted
any ideas on what I did wrong?

I do not believe our phones are compatible with the standard bootanimation.zip updates. Our boot animations are stored in a qimg (or something, can't remember off the top of my head) image. We're able to move qimg's from other galaxy s devices to our own and even change the poweron/poweroff sounds because they aren't stored in the same place, but I don't think someone has managed to get a custom bootanimation.zip file working on our phones
Okay. I am running froyo 2.2.
I have downloaded an "update.zip" to try and root my phone. I rebooted my phone to the recovery screen to try and install the update. This is frustrating me because it won't let me do it. I am going to type the message verbatim.
"-- install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E :signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
WTF is that about.
Also, I have tried to root it manually as well. The terminal emulator keeps "force close" on me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Might want to search or maybe look in the 2.2 official thread for this instead of opening a new thread. It has been covered time and time agian
hey guys for some reason i had to unroot so i followed the steps given in the forum ....now that i found out that there's new cool rom i want flash but when i click on apply sd : update.zip.....i've got a milestone
theres a message
E:can't open /cache/recovery/command
--Instal from sdcard...
Finding update package ...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sd/update.zip(no such file or directory )
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
Are u sure that there is a update.zip file on your sdcard?
If not,u'd better to figure it out in the bandboard'Motorola Milestone Android Development'.
This is a duplication and is already solved.
To Abu3792: Please edit this post and mark it as solved, thanks.
And what was the solution ?
I suppose you forgave to flash the vulnerable recovery.
Hey everyone,
Today I received the update to version 1.29.111.11 via OTA, but unfortunately it won't install. After rebooting, the update screen with the green arrows is displayed, but only for about 1 second. After that, the red triangle shows up. The message reads:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installation aborted.
I already tried downloading the update several times, a corrupted file can therefore be eliminated as a cause. I also tried manually installing the update via recovery, but then the error is as follows:
Code:
Mount SDCARD failed 1 times
Mount SDCARD failed 2 times
Mount SDCARD failed 3 times
Mount SDCARD failed 4 times
Mount SDCARD failed 5 times
Can not mount SD Card.(No such file or directory)
-- Invalid operation. --
I am on stock rom (T-Mobile Germany), not rooted and with original bootloader (locked) and original recovery.
Maybe some of you have an idea what might be the problem...
i also get this msg trying to update using update.zip please help.have done reset and format no luck
