Okay, where do I begin? The PSfreedom was released for droid and a friend said I can use one of her old droids which was 2.1update1. So in my haste to flash this thing I used EasyRoot, got it rooted (of course made a nandroid backup at least), installed cyanogen 6 (made a backup of this using clockwork recovery), installed the wrong kernel, then was stuck at a loop screen. Well I kept trying and trying to boot it to Clockworkmod Recovery and nothing was working until about the time I gave up and set it down...and WHAM! Clockworkmod Reovery! So I went to nandroid, restore and clicked on my clockwork cyanogen backup. And thus I was stuck on an endless loop of the Droid eye and the Droid logo. I assumed something went wrong and tried booting into clockwork recovery to no avail. Then it finally let me into the normal recovery and I decided I should find a way to start from scratch. Now I wiped EVERYTHING and still I have the endless loop, PLUS it wont let me update to another official firmware via update.zip.
This is the error it gives me:
-- Install from sdcard...

Can anyone help me figure out what the bejeezus is wrong?
i would suggest u check to see if there is an option to "allow install of update.zip" and click on it before you do the update. i know sprecovery has it
if all else fails, flash the 2.1 sbf file and start over, its really easy

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I cannot flash any update.zip file.
It says

I want to install cm-recovery-1.4.img
Is this possible to do without root. (as I think it somehow was undone.)
I have adb and know how to use it but I cannot get it to find cm-recovery-1.4.img on my sd card.
Almost ready to turn tricks to get this fixed!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Not too helpful, but maybe..
I was having a hard time upgrading as well. But what finally worked for me was rolling back to the original RC29 nbh, rooting again, then installing the 1.4 recovery and going forward from there. I seem to always run into problems switching from one rom to another unless I go through the process starting with the Rc 29. Hope this is kinda helpful.
Thanks your right, it's the best way.
for me it worked.
installed the devphone thingy, than 4.1.999 and so on. no problem at all. dunno why it wont work for u

@op
what recovery are you using now? i believe that cyan's recovery is the only one that properly flashes the update from htc..
I just got my replacement phone thru HTC and I was returning my current N1 to stock. I had CM6 installed and I rooted my phone without Unlocking it. My plan was to reinstall the stock recovery and go back to a stock unrooted Froyo.
A bunch of stuff happened and where I'm stuck at now is that I have a stock recovery. And my phone has an incomplete OS. (When it loads it just Force Closes everything.)
The last thing i flashed before the OS stopped working was: Update-Passion-Full-FRF91.zip
I tried flashing in fastboot. idk what else to do?
I'd like to either have this go back to stock like i wanted or at least get back to having RA Recovery so i can recover my nand
Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I got mine to stock and successfully returned it to HTC for a swap without any problem using fastboot from the link above. I didn't flash it to stock 2.2 I only flashed the room that it came with from factory (really old one ERD79) and HTC didn't care.
yeah i tried doing that first. but i kept getting failed verification errors
just flash RA recovery via fastboot ( if you can, I dont't know if it will let you since you don't have bootloader unlocked)
Or try using the PASSIMG.ZIP method
Please help soon. i have to send this phone back to HTC
IMGPASS.zip did not work. Main version is older! error
it wont let me go into stock recovery and flash any signed ROMS. It starts to open them up and then i get an error.

Hey guys,
I am trying to install Darky's latest ROM (for time instal) and I downloaded ROM Manager from the Market. I then got the update.zip file for Clockwork off the ROM Manager and put it on my sd card.
I have now booted the phone into recovery (3 button recovery) and when I click the apply the update.zip I get this message;
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...

Replacing stock recovery with ClockworkMod recovery...
Then it just sits there and does nothing for ages and ages.
I'm using 2.1 and have used z4root to permantely root the phone. Any solutions? Thanks in advance =)
Hello friends.
I have an original VZW droid.
I rooted with EasyRoot many moons ago, then manually updated the stock 2.1 image to 2.2 FRG01B.
Ever since then, when i try to flash a new rom (or even the OTA update.zip to FRG02), i always get the Fail triangle with the exclamation point.
My latest go-round has been with Clockword Mod recovery.
i can successfully flash the recovery image, but when i try install a CM7 signed rom, i get the same fail triangle with a 'Status 7' message..
I have wiped data/cache/facory reset all several times.
in fact, as we speak, i just tried to apply to OTA update, and the error is ->
e:error in /cache/688e.....signed-voles-FRG22D-from-FRG01B.zip.
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
i've just resigned myself to be stuck for months now, but i have the flash bug again since i was able to successfully get CM7 on my nook color and do netflix.
is there any advice ?
thanks!
I'm going to into rom manager and downloading a kernal. (Tried many different ones) I download it and it boots into clockworkmod. It shows the motorola symbol then has a triangle with a yellow exclamtion point in it above the android guy. If i click the power button on the top it exits that and goes into reovery where it says:
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I checked the kernal, still the same.
I've tried this many times, all ending in the same way.
I tried flashing a different cwm, but it does the same thing.
I also tried downloading a kernal from the internet, and putting it on my sd card, then flashing that, but it fails.
I'm not sure what to do.
Any ideas?
