Im having the worst time in the world trying to get this froyo for my evo. I have it in the root of the sd card, "O:" and removed known file extensions just to make sure its update.zip and not update.zip.zip.
everything is what it should be according to every post ive looked at. Yet no matter what I do, i still get signature verification failed, installation aborted.
Any ideas?!
I could the same thing last night. But what I had to do was to update to 1.47 then go in and update it another time name the file update and that is it. And it should work.

This is how it's done.
Follow the step by step directions I copied from androidpolice below. When you get to step 8, you will most likely see the red triangle with exclamation point. Don't worry. Just hold the up volume button and press the power key. This will activate the menu where you will see "apply update.zip". Proceed with step 8. It takes care of the rest.
We’ve provided some simple instructions for installing the update:
1. Download the update file and rename it to update.zip.
Note #1: DO NOT UNZIP THIS FILE
Note #2: Make sure you didn’t rename this to update.zip.zip by accident, if your Windows is configured to not show file extensions.
2. Place in the root of your SD card (connect via USB and mount as a drive, transfer via bluetooth, download directly on the phone – pick your poison).
3. Reboot into recovery mode (hold the Volume Up button while your phone is booting).
4. You will be presented with the boot loader. The Volume Up/Down buttons navigate the menu, and the Power button selects.
Note: you may see the red exclamation (!) point at this stage. Try mashing the up/down/power buttons and wait for 10-15 seconds. The recovery should eventually come up.
5. Select Bootloader.
6. Scroll down to Recovery and select it.
7. The phone will reboot again, this time into recovery.
8. Select “apply update.zip” or “install from .zip” (depending on your recovery image).
9. The installation process will take 15-20 minutes and a few reboots.
10. Enjoy!
i can get to that point just fine, its the install that fails due to signature verification failure, i have followed all the steps to prevent any mishaps, but still cannot get past it.
I think I had the same issue with the file after I renamed it update.zip (it was hidden and already there). I renamed it but did not help.
I would recommend deleting it from the card and downloading a fresh copy of the update. Copy it to the SD card and try again.
This is the source I used and it worked.

You are probably going to need to download a different file, as a lot of the mirrors here are corrupted. If your file size is 70 something, that is corrupt. The correct file size is 80 something (sorry, I'm on my phone).
Look for a different mirror to download from.
Did everything and nothing, not even the (!) thing, everytime I scroll down to recovery it just takes me back to the main menu (bootloader) and nothing seems to work, am I doing something wrong?
yeah ive only downloaded the 84mb ones, i even had the original from HTC with no results. my evo refuses to evolve lol

I had to remove all the excess files from my sd card root for it to finally work correctly. I think the only thing i had left on my sd card root were folders and the froyo renamed to update.zip
If you are rooted why not boot into recovery and install update from zip. Note that this option will un-root your phone in the process. There are also post on the forum with the stock Rom for non rooted phones, if you are not rooted. You can try using that file rather than the one you got. This may get u on 2.2 b4 u know it.

Same problem
Hey xcodesterox.
I had the exact same issue and even download the linked file from ckombo.
I was finally able to get it to work.
What was happening for me was, I would download the file and my Mac is set to unzip a downloaded file from Safari, I would then just zip it myself after this. This was not working so I switched to Firefox, where I do not have it set to autoextract, and therefore I did not have to re-zip. THAT time it worked.
I hope you had the same issue.
Ok so you said right now you are in rooted. You should try removing all zip files that are current on the root of your SD card. U can back it up to your pc. Then use the file/ method found in this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740319

Where did you found this rooted version? I have the same problem...
Hi fellow streak users. Hopefully I'm asking questions in the right place.
Background:
I have read a fair amount of threads on upgrading the streak. I had 1.6, GUASBA111100 (build 6267? from memory), and received the dell 2.2 update notification. Downloaded the update and selected it when it downloaded. The phone re-booted, then sat at a black screen. There it sat for many hours. I tried re-downloading the update many times, but it does the same thing.
I got sick of this and started digging on the web. A simple method seemed to be to rename the file Update.pkg and put it on the root of the sdcard. It then sits at the dell logo. Forever. I have downloaded more images, roms, recoveries than I want to admit. I have attempted following fastboot instructions. They all fail on the reboot.
Currently the phone will not start up at all. Is it really possible to brick the phone?
What I'm trying to do.
Given all the bad publicity I have read about the current 2.2 from dell, I am hoping to install steve's latest version. I am hoping someone has some time and patience to explain how to do this. (commands and which files to use) (as the phone does not seem to respond to all the methods flooding multiple forums).
If you need further information, please ask.
Try flashing the stock recovery for the 1.6 build you have then it should boot as normal. Make sure all the other versions you have are not in the "fastboot" c:/ folder.
OK, here's the update. It's a bit jumbled and random, but I have been up for at least 18 hours fiddling...
I was unable to find the stock recovery for the 1.6 build I had. Probably lots of mismatched files were flashed unnecessarily. Nothing would touch the 'carrier unlocked US version' I had. That is until I tried QDL tool upgrade M 2.7.4.8 Now I suspect it is a beta version of 2.2 that it puts on the phone. It's slow and featureless. But it was the only thing that worked. From there I managed to make clockwork recovery work, and worked my way from steve's 1.4.6 to 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 Somewhere here the phone chucked a spaz and I discovered my phone had been booted off the network (showed no signal coverage). I began to suspect something to do with the imei being blocked (Another streak I was playing with is locked to O2, but came with a rebelsim installed - apparently illegal in australia). I checked the IMEI and it had mysteriously changed. (I suspect it had somehow been put to all zeroes, and something somewhere had given it a 'different' one.) Anyway, I used the QDL tool again, and the original one came back.
Finally what worked for me: QDL tool to flash 2.2, flashthe new amss.mbn, flash clockwork recovery, put steves 1.4.6 on SDcard and flash, then flash 1.5.3
(I couldn't tell you where I downloaded the files that worked. Your results (people who are still seeking action to try and upgrade their software) may vary. All I can say is that now I have downloaded half the internet and installed all the computer drivers, I have hit on a combination that works for me on this computer).
Steve, Thankyou! It's fast, snappy. It has those settings I love to twiddle.
Thank you to everyone else that has either directly or indirectly helped me with your description of how you got yours working.
Thank you for the hosting of the ROMS. I like that you don't have to wait 45 seconds and/or join to download.
A few comments:
I downloaded so many roms and files that it wasn't funny. The problem is that they are all named Update.zip, amss.mbn etc. When they are all in the download folder... Some people just provided the files, others packaged them with a batch file to automate the process. If I was to download them all again, I would download them into folders labelling them...
There seems to be a wide variety of situations/variables that dictate 'what you need to do and how you need to do it' to change roms in the phone. There are half a dozen comprehensive guides on the net, yet all different. I was quite confused. It almost needs some sort of chart where you can pick where you are at the moment, where you want to be, then follow those instructions.
I was also bamboozled with the different tools. QDL, flashboot, ADB etc. I have a bit of an idea, but I'm sure others are equally confused. I know the information is 'out there' but to have it all in one place. What do some of the files do. Why might you need to flash them. Which files are erased by the stock ROM if you don't do anything with them. What does it do when you flash a recovery? How long does it stay on the phone?
There are several parts of the phone that get upgraded. Not sure I have it right, but QDLtool upgrades the modem software (amongst other things) Other things you change is the baseband, SDcard contents etc. (Trying to connect what software files go to what places to what hardware in the phone.)
I do have several questions that have arisen.
1. Am I right in thinking you must flash steves 1.4.6 before you can flash the latest 1.5.3?
2. QDLtools: In theory is it possible to replace the files somehow so it puts steve's latest ROM straight on?
3. Rebelsim: (The small amount of information I have suggests it is illegal in australia) Does it block or change the imei? Can the carrier tell if you are using one?? (not that I use one, apparently they don't work on 2.2)
(that's all for the moment.)
i have been having problems with doing my streak aswell and still am but
ato answer one of your questions that i found out while downloading the whole internet is that the QDL tool can be used to put steves on
here is the instructions i just copied off the qdl page i would of posted a link but i am a new member so i cant post inks yet
Beyond QDLTool
Using QDLTool will get you to a pre-release of v2.2. From here, you’ll want to upgrade to a newer release. The two options that people tend to choose from are to either go up to the official v2.2 ROM from Dell, or install DJ_Steve’s latest ROM.
Official ROM
If you want to go to the latest official ROM from Dell, simply set up your wifi connection, then go to Settings -> About Phone -> System updates. The latest update can then be downloaded and installed, updating your Streak.
Latest Streakdroid ROM
If you want to upgrade to the latest Streakdroid ROM (1.5.3), either from the QDLTool install or from the latest official build, you can follow these steps:
1.Go to the downloads section and grab StreakMod Recovery, the latest 1.5.3 Update and the AMSS for 1.5.1+ (the update and amss are under Roms, StreakMod Recovery is under Recovery)
2.Copy the update-1.5.3.zip file onto the root of your SD card.
3.Extract recovery.img from the StreakMod recovery and place it, along with amss.mbn, into the same directory as QDLTool (QDLTool has a copy of fastboot)
4.Shut down your Streak, then hold down the camera button (all the way) as you turn it back on.
5.The screen should turn white; press ‘Fastboot’ in the top right hand of the screen.
6.Plug in the USB cable – the Streak should now display ‘FASTBOOT_MODE’ at the bottom of the screen.
7.Open a command window and use ‘cd’ to change to the same directory as qdltool.
8.Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
9.Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
10.Run: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
11.As the Streak starts to reboot, hold down both volume buttons.
12.The recovery menu should come up; select option 2 (Upgrade)
13.A Dell logo and an exclamation mark should appear; press power or menu to open StreakMod’s main menu
14.Select ‘apply sdcard:update.zip’ then ‘chose zip on sd card’
15.Find the update-1.5.3.zip file, select it and apply the zip.
16.When the update finishes, press back a couple of times then select the option to reboot your Streak.
17.The Streak will restart. It will take about 5 minutes to complete, but you are now on the latest v1.5.3
at moment i am following the qdl guide to getting the steve rom on my phone so will let you know how it has gone but with that guide the installation at moment seemed seemless now got to see if it goes off the dell logo after a while if not got to recovery but lets hope
no luck so far
stuck on the logo screen but asked for help now its a waiting game
Cheers for that!

Is it necessary to use QDLTool to get to the pre-release 2.2 if I am on 1.6 or can I just follow steps 1-17?
The reason I ask is that QDLTool for me just stops at "Check version ... " so I have not been able to complete running it.
i dont know if it is necessary
are all the drivers installed?
i used to have a prob where it kept failing me but all i had to do was change usb port
and got it working but i was running 2.1 stock at the time but that was buggy and crap UI
have you tried just puting 2.1 or 2.2 on your SD card and updating that way
i finally got my streak sorted
i started from scratch
first i installed clockwork mod using fastboot
then installed very version of steves roms in order starting with 1.1.1
and worked my way down and when i installed 1.5.0 i then ran flashed the amss that is required if you want to get the newer versions then installed the rest of the updates and when i got to 1.5.3 i also installed the camera fix
i found it best to put all steves rom zip files onto your SD card at once then it saves having to keep putting one of after another
also after every update leave the phone for a few mins because it does take a lil time to sort the updates out
THE ROM UPDATES (at top also has the AMSS that need flashing)

Camera fix and the comandlines for the AMSS update

http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=9
I don't know if all the drivers are installed. Is there a way to check? I cannot even get into FASTBOOT (POWER + CAMERA) mode and the Streak is just in an infinite reset loop.
Just a note, the older StreakFlash QDLTool completes completely but the newer one in Repairtool just sits infinitely at "Check Version ... "

Hi,
i'm new in the android world and i'm confused.
i just got an used nexus one.
the old owner unlock the bootloader but did'nt root it.
when i got it, i try to delete all the information from the old owner.
so i thought that rooting the N1 will erase all data and give me some advantage.
(one the iphone world jailbreak was fast and easy)
so i take this tutorial (sorry can't post link, google "[Complete guide with Images] Unlock Bootloader and Root Google Nexus One [Mac, Windows, Linux]" first link)
and follow it
i start just after "superboot" because the bootloader was already unlock
the problème is that my N1 don't boot anymore (after step 6)
i try to "clear storage"
but the problème is still there
i don't know much about android but i'm willing to learn
if you have any tutorial or any other help i'll apreciate
PS: i'm on mac
thanks
You need to install the SDK - or the adb drivers at least. Might as well just install the SDK - you'll need adb and fastboot commands etc at some stage.
http://www.99bits.com/2010/12/how-to-setup-adb-on-mac/
My guess is you've flashed a version of superboot that's not compatible with the build that was installed.
Still, all is (almost) never lost with these. I would download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.HTC.com and extract the system & boot images from it. Flash these and you should be working again.
Instead of using superboot to root, flash a custom recovery & use that to root.
Thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I follow the advice of kam187 and download the SDK, the only problem with ADB is the last step of the tutorial, when i type "adb devices" in the terminal, i got a "command not found" (my n1 is connected and on, stock to the X screen)
i do all the step exactly as told in the tuto.
(exept step 8 and 9, my n1 is not booting, i know that usb debugging was one when i got it, but don't know for connection type)
i guess i'll have to use the SDK to flash a custom recovery
do you have any other tuto for that? (i'm new to the android world)
again, thanks a lot for the answer
Turn on USB debugging in the application development settings.
is "application development settings" the same as "android SDK and AVD manager" ?
if so, i don't find any usb debugging setting.
if it's one my N1, it's not booting, so i can't turn it on
if it's anywhere else, where?
thx
Oh ****, of course. It's on the N1. Stupid beer.
You'll want fastboot for flashing like I originally said.
Can you get into the bootloader? Hold down the trackball and press power. If you get a white screen with Androids on skateboards, good.
I think your most direct way to a fresh install of stock Android is to use a PASSIMG.ZIP. This should work as long as your bootloader works. If you have an SLCD Nexus One, don't try to downgrade HBOOT or to flash an earlier build than FRF91.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
yes i can boot into the bootloader,
a stock android will be good.
i just want it to work for now.
cmstlist you talk about PASSIMG.ZIP, where can i fond it and how can i use it?
like i say, i'm new to android and don't know much.
do you have any link's to a good noob tutorial that explain how to flash an nexus one?
PS: i don't know if i have an SLCD Nexus One, it come from videotron in montreal (quebec, canada)
Okay so if it's a Videotron N1, it's 100% definitely SLCD.
Since you can't boot into the device, you'll need to access the microSD card using an external reader, or any other means you can find to write a file to the card. Download the following ROM:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip
Copy the file to the root of your MicroSD card and rename it PASSIMG.zip (case-sensitive). Be careful that it's truly named PASSIMG.zip and not PASSIMG.zip.zip (if you're on Windows sometimes it hides file extensions). Put the card back in the phone and enter bootloader mode. If you're on the Fastboot screen, then press Power to select Bootloader. Now you'll be on the HBOOT screen. Wait about 10 seconds and the phone will check automatically for PASSIMG.zip. When it finds the file, it will automatically unpack and ask you if you want to install the ROM. Follow the instructions and give it some time. When it's done, you'll boot into a fresh stock FRG33 build.
From here you can set up the phone, and once you've connected to data or wifi you'll probably be prompted about OTA updates - eventually ending up on FRG83D. If you'd like to root in the future you have many options (especially since your bootloader is already unlocked), but I'm sure your priority is just to have a working phone =)
thanks a lot cmstlist for the explication
i'm downloading it right now
i just download "Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip", renamed it to "PASSIMG.zip. put it on the micro SD card
put the SDcard card onto my N1
boot into fastboot, open the bootloader and come into hboot
after some time (few sec) i see a green text showing that the phone is looking for an image and don't finding it.
i try to download the file with diferent browser (chrome, safari, firefox) to be sure it's not a download problem
i don't know what whent wrong
The file is a .zip within a .zip, extract it, then rename the extracted .zip to passimg.zip and try again.
still don't work
when i extract it i got:
PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip
i rename it to PASSING.zip
but the N1 dont find it on the SD card
are you sure it,s the right file for my N1?
It's the right file, you can't spell
passimg.zip
i speel it wrong when i retype it, but it's speel PASSIMG.zip on the SD card
i try PASSDIAG.zip to because i saw this name on my N1 when it's looking for an image
it don't work
try it 5 ou 6 time, but nothing
Ah that's odd, its definitely the right file as I've use it myself numerous times.
Do you get the blue bar again, or nothing?
when i boot into fastboot, i can select bootloader
then i'm into HBOOT (un blue)
y have option for : fastboot, recovery, clear storage and simlock
if i don't select anithing, after few sec, i see green text (5 ou 6 ligne) when i see that the N1 is looking for image
it don't see anything and come back to the Hboot screen (same as before)
Well as another way, extract the system.img and boot.img files from the passimg and use fastboot to flash them, can't go too far wrong with that.
I suggested this over fastboot because it doesn't require USB drivers, but no idea why it wouldn't work. I did forget the part about extracting the file.

Hello everyone, First off I would like to thank all of those that have posted on this site and contribute to it.
Now to my problem. Let me share a little history of how everything started.
I first rooted my MT4G about a year ago, Tried to use IcedGlacier but it was not loading properly so I used cyanogenmod 6 I believe? I wanted to try IcedGlacier but It still was not loading properly. Then when I tried to restore it would not restore properly. At this point it appeared to be bricked but bootloader still worked but the PD15img file was not found. So after some researched I downloaded it and it restored my phone back to factory condition. Now I want to try other roms again because I'm getting bored of stock and attempting to load different kernels but this is where my issues are beginning.
As you can see in the attached photo that is what the bootloader looks like. I thought it was weird that next to hboot it says "HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD1510000)".
(I tried to post the image but since I'm a noob I and unable. If you want to see the screen shot of my bootloader just message me.
I was thinking maybe this is a reason as to why now No other rom but the stock one will load. Also what is weird is that when it goes into bootloader it still says PD15img is not found but the phone will start up fine with the stock rom.
The phone remains rooted but No Rom or Kernel will Load and fully install.
When It loads roms it goes to install it shuts off and reboots into stock rom.
I tried to Use the PD15IMG.zip on the SD card to see maybe if it didn't load properly but it will begin to load with the blue bar in the corner but then after it goes all the way up nothing else happens.
I have been trying to look for answers but haven't found any real answers that help me fix my problem.
So if someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
The "no PD15IMG.zip" message is supposed to appear. When the bootloader loads, it checks the root of your SD for that file, and if it's not there, you'll get that message. Nothing wrong with that.
Since you're perm-rooted and running the engineering boatloader, you just need to make sure your recovery image is good. If you haven't already, download ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install a fresh copy of ClockworkMod recovery. From there you should be good to flash any ROM you want.
Thanks, I did what you said plus I realized when I was downloading the roms using a Mac and my Mac would unzip the file automatically and trying to compress it back to a zip doesn't work at all. But thanks alot for the help!
If the PD15IMG.zip doesnt work you probably dont have the part7-xxxxxxxxxx.zip file on your sdcard

Hi all,
Need help with my phone... :\
So I wanted to install ICS on my phone today (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492957) and I looked at the instructions, obviously you have to have a stock ROM installed first before going for the ICS update. At this time I had CM7.1 installed. So I chucked the files on my SD Card to install (the ICS and Stock) and went ahead into clockwork recovery to try and install the stock ROM first. This didn't work, as at the time I didn't know you have to install it via the pink screen and extract the zip folder and put the dload folder in the root of the sd card. So when I tried to install it, it said starting installation, and then would say installation aborted, I had no idea why, so I tried another couple of times, still didn't work. I then updated my clockworkmod recovery to the latest version for the U8800 and it still didn't work (as I was obviously doing it wrong...). I also happened to have an update for CM7 on the SD card that I never got around to installing (7.1.0.1), and so I tried to install that and again it said installation aborted (not sure why that didn't work, should of...). So then I thought, that's odd, nothings working, betcha the ICS ROM won't install either, see if something else is wrong, so I pressed install... and it started installing... not exactly what I wanted or was expecting. So it seemed to install alright with no errors, so I did a reboot out of recovery. It then stuck on the white Huawei logo screen and just stayed there... some folders got created on my SD card (apps that I had installed on CM7), no idea why, it didn't seem to boot, left it for 5 minutes and still just the white logo screen.
So I then did some more reading and learnt that I needed to put the official ROM's dload folder to the root of the SD card and install it via the pink screen. I tried this, unpacks it fully and completes step 1, but it gets to step two, and 5 seconds later after it starts attempting to install the ROM it says, Installation Failed.
So I was looking around for people who had a similar problem as me, and found some, they found a way to fix it which was to put the dload folder in the root of the internal SD card, unfortunately I have no idea how to get to that when the phone doesn't boot up into the OS. I tried putting it in the internal storage via the pink screen, but that's only 200-250MB in size, and the file needs around 300MB, so there wasn't enough room. I tried repartitioning the storage hoping this would increase it, or return it to normal (as I had partitioned it before to the 1.42GB/1.12GB partition that others had posted up previously) and it didn't change a thing. So I have no idea how to get to internal storage D:
Not having fun so far... so I thought I might try and install CM7 again, and then go to stock, and then to ICS, or maybe just leave it on CM7 and give up for now. Unfortunately the version of CM7 I had isn't available anymore, and the newer version you have to have stock ROM installed first, so I decided to grab oxygen instead. Downloaded it and chucked the zip folder onto my SD card and tried to boot into recovery (Power+VolUp) and now it won't even go into that! It goes to the pink screen (Power+VolUp+VolDown) without any issue and I can connect to the computer and access the files on there.
So basically, I've bricked my phone and I would love it so much if you could help me get it back, I really don't want to have to go back to my old Nokia 2760 (http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_2760-1975.php) where the speaker doesn't even work, so if I make/receive a call, I have to put it to loud speaker or headphones to actually hear their voice... would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gunny
I think you have some hope left if you can go in the pink screen mode. You should find some istructions from general section and Q&A section. If you can go to pink screen you should be able to install official Huawei rom.

I finally got it all sorted, if it wasn't for that pink screen, I'd be stuffed!
I had to go back to a 2.2.1 ROM before it would finally accept it and install. Had a bit of cache and corruption, but android eventually cleared/cleaned itself and put itself back to normal. Now I've got the official version of Gingerbread on my phone, and I'm not sure if I should upgrade to the official version of ICS or whether I should upgrade to Aurora's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22682229#post22682229) version of ICS. Thoughts? And don't worry, this time I won't screw it all up!
Thanks all!
Alright, just discovered my official ICS ROM is for the U8800 pro, not the standard one, so I guess I will be going for Aurora!

This didn't work, as at the time I didn't know you have to install it via the pink screen and extract the zip folder and put the dload folder in the root of the sd card.

I have a Huawei U8860 and wants to go from custom rom MIUI to stock rom B925. Can I just follow your advice here and install it via the pink screen?
