Root help...please! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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?

Are you using a deodexed ROM? If so, that update will not work for you.

[Q] Rooting Rogers Captivate (with Mac).. HELP!

Hey everyone!
I'm having some big problems trying to root my Captivate with Rogers. I have tried a bunch of different methods, and every time I try and load the phone in recovery mode (re-installing packages) I get this error:
Installing Muti-CSC
--Install from sd card...
Finding Update package...
Opening Update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. I've done the "one click" roots, and several "manual" roots. I only have a mackbook, so it's hard to do the manual ones..
I've been copying the "update.zip" file onto my sd card from my desktop, but this error has been coming up consistently no matter what I do to try and root the phone.
Anyways, if someone could help me out, It would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Updated: So confused by everything

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.

Not able to apply update.zip , please help

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

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

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.
