so first: you can't install the UK update on your root'd phone .. second: to use the update.zip files on XDA you need to have root .. so what is it exactly you are attempting to do?!?
flash either the RC7 or RC29 nbh file .. now if you do nothing at all you should receive OTA updates .. you can directly download the updates i believe from google .. these are all non-root versions .. or .. root your phone

What method did you use to root? Have you confirmed your rooted? Are you using Rom manager or trying to flash directly through recovery? Dont mean to answer with questions, just trying to get a little more info to see if i can help.
sorry about that i did the 1 click root tried manual and rom manager
Sounds like you didn't install ClockworkMod. You need to install it before a ROM or Kernel can be installed.
cool where do i go to get the ClockworkMod firmware 2.1 update1 kernel ver 2.6.29
This thread should explain: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
U must have a computer and a usb cord. Download the drivers. Then flash clockwork its a method similar to the one click root.

I had the same issue... You need to google that error. There is a fix for it. I would find it for you, but im on my phone. Its not difficult. Someyhing about flashibg with oden to get clockwork to work... Worked for me. Good luck.

froyo ota update failure

Im having a problem with updating my wildfire to froyo from 2.1. the update downloads then i choose to install now. the phone reboots and the install starts and the message "failed to verify whole file signature" comes up. i have the phone rooted with unrevoked.can someone help me?
thanks in advance.
Instead using OTA try with the RUU...
for example ROM manager?
No...if you have a 2.1 rooted ROM you have different possibilities to upgrade to Froyo:
1) Flashing a rooted Froyo ROM that you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
2) Use the official RUU. You will lose your root until Unrevoked supports the new version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877091

can't install roms on droid x

Hey, I'm helping my friend install a new rom on his Droid X because the GB update messed his phone up. The Recovery version is 2.xxxx. I have Team Liquid's rom which won't install and it says
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
"Installation aborted."
I thought maybe the download was bad so I downloaded OMGB and the same thing happens.
I can install roms without a problem on my Thunderbolt but I know nothing about this phone. It took me a bit just to figure out how to get into Recovery. No longer can I get into Recovery with Rom Manager or Quick Boot. If I tried to use those apps it just ends up rebooting the phone.
Any ideas why this is happening? Should I install the latest version of Recovery (CWM)? I downgraded the Recovery because I thought the new version was preventing Rom Manager and Quick Boot from booting into Recovery mode. Thanks in advance!!
Edit: I downloaded the Droid 2 Bootstrap app and now I managed to get into Recovery but installation failed again. It says
"Installing update..."
"assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel")"
"==0"
"E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"Installation aborted."
Any ideas?
Sbf and try from there

I'm a lil confused as what you mean when you say the GB update messed his phone up. If it was a OTA update that messed the phone up, then i would simply suggest getting rid of root and going back to Verizon because it could be an issue with that phone in itself.
Now if the GB update was caused by you guys trying to do certain things than follow directions of above poster StayFrosty777 (Cool name btw dude lol).
Also make sure that you download a custom rom that is on the build. I'm unsure of whether he actually has GB or if still on Froyo. If he is still on Froyo you will need to flash a Froyo rom, flashing a rom such as Liquid 3.0 which is based on GB, will not work on Froyo.
