[Q] (Yet another) 2.2.1 question - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got the OTA notification yesterday. Decided to install it.
The problem is is that I have a custom recovery image. Android system recovery or something like that. When the OTA update put the phone in recovery mode, the instillation failed because the packet was not signed (assuming this recovery can't read official signed zips)
I also downloaded it from google and the same thing happened. I clicked "flash zip from sdcard" under the recovery and it gave me the same error.
Also, this won't unroot me right? If it does can I just adb root it again?
Also I've heard alternative keyboards have issues, but I also heard if you uninstall and reinstall them it fixes the issue.
So how can I install 2.2.1? I don't really want to reset the phone to factory. Any other options?
Also, the OTA notification is gone, so I have to flash the zip most likely.
And... I rooted using adb. Will this unroot it (I know it breaks one-click root)

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Use Amon RA 1.8.0.x or ClockworkMod, they will both flash anything, signed (release or test) or not.
This will unroot you, but the rageagainstthecage exploit still works.

I tried both amon ra and clockwork. Amon ra gave me this
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (188 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.

clockwork gave me something similar. I believe it just failed.
This is where I'm getting the update from
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRG83-from-FRF91.c8847c98.zip
I mean it looks entirely legit. I renamed it to update.zip.
Edit: I tried Amon Ra 1.8.0 (as it is supposed to allow singed and unsigned packages) and it still failed, I got this one this time...

The Status 7 error was a similar error i got when I tried to flash KoR 2.2 (no cyanogen). I believe it meant your boot or kernel sector has bad areas or something. The rom dev released a fix with a new rom with smaller kernel.

What rom are you trying to install
and what Recovery image are you using?
Also, did you upgrade your SPL?
Don't forget that some/most roms require the "Danger" SPL...
If you need to upgrade your recovery, radio & SPL here a tutorial. Follow it to the T though! MAKE SURE YOU INSTALLED THE NEW RADIO CORRECTLY BEFORE YOU TRY THE SPL!

Radio is correct, and the recovery i dont know, im followed this guide:

You can use this Recovery image
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
after that you want to get the 1.6adp and put that in root of your sdcard
then get the latest cyanogen rom and put that in your root of sdcard
Turn off the phone then hold the home button then press the power button wait till you get into the Recovery image
go to the wipe option and click wipe reset factory settings
then go to flash any zip file and flash the 1.6 ado ota file
it will say reboot but dont do it go back to flash any zip file again and flash Cyan latest rom 4.2.9.1 let.. after that is done you can reboot
let it reboot and it will take you back to the Recovery screen click reboot again... and wait till you phone boots up and you should see the blue android..
hope you get to flash the rom or this helps
also you can use this guide as this to me seems the best guide to follow

Cyanogen to 2.2

My phone is running the latest version of Cyanogen. (also with Amon_RA's recovery image)
I got the zip, changed it to update.zip, placed it on the root of my SD card, and attempted to flash.
I get the error
"E: no signature (411 files)"
"E: Verification failed"
"installation aborted."
Do I need to go back to the stock ROM before I can apply this update?
Maybe the recovery image has to be the stock recovery image?
First thing I'm going to try is installing the version that has root preinstalled.
I'll update after.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631
you NEED to flash the pre-rooted version if you're going to flash via recovery.
yep, that worked. Thanks.

Can't Sign In

I just bought a used G1 and was trying to root it.
It had RC30 on it so I downgraded and after the process of changing the recovery image, I can now no longer log into the phone.
I've tried everything and I still can't.
I also can't open the update.zip, it says.
E:No signature (5 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted

If you are rooted you can NOT use the official updates. You have to use updates provided here, or go back to a stock un-rooted rom.
