Updated: So confused by everything - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

UPDATE: I've finally found the correct guide located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_HTC_Branded_EBI1_Dreams
But now I've run into another problem..
I get all the way up to Step D, flashing the zip file '1_33_2005_spl.zip' from the SDcard then it gives me the error;
'Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (26 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted'
Could it be because I'm not rooted or something?
I also tried following this guide
http://droidxhacks.com/droid-x-hacks/how-to-root-droid-x/
But I get stuck at Step 11.
It tells me 'cp: not found'
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE 2: So the reason it wasn't working was because Safari on this Mac was downloading the files and automatically unzipping them, so I'd re-zip them. And it didn't work when I would try to flash them. I downloaded the files using Opera instead and that kept them as a zip file. It ended up working.
I'm loving 2.2 right now, so much faster and a lot better than running 1.5.

help with 1.6

when i try to force install the android 1.6 update i get this error message
installing from sdcard...
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:no signature (302 files)
E: verification failed
installation aborted.
i renamed the file update but it just wont update please help
i live in the US if that matters. and i have tired the update under settings>about phone>system updates. but when i download it and then it verifies it just says download again not install. so i restarted my phone to see if it would work but it still says im running 1.5
Need a lil more background info. Is your phone rooted? What 1.6 firmware are you trying to load (a custom or official)?
What was the source of the update you downloaded? Have you tried a different copy of the update?
Yea what file were you trying to flash?

Root help...please!

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

please help me i got no idea hoe to go about it ......when i checked the open recovery folder it did have the update.zip file .......
thanks in advance .....hurry guys
You shouldn't put the update.zip file in OR folder. As the error message showed you should put it in your sdcard root directory and keep it as update.zip.
Good luck to you!
Thanks mate ! fixed that extremely happy bout it !

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.

Need help flashing Pie.

I'm currently on Oreo firmware OPSS27.104-92-4 and I'm trying to flash the Pie upgrade found here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETUS/
I've tried to give Motorola Update Services storage permission and place the downloaded .zip file into the root directory of internal storage but it's not finding the update. I've also tried to ADB sideload but I get an error.
ADB error:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: footer is wrong
Update package verification took 0.0 s (result 1).
E: Signature verification failed
E: error 21
Installation aborted.
Do I need to downgrade to a previous version?
same here, must be bad OTA file.. did you find one that works?

That's not an update zip. It's a full firmware package.
Fastboot.
Or use RSDlite
Or use "XML to batch" to create a batch script to flash it for you
