i used rsd lite and sprecovery is running fine it just wont install the update.zip file. which i guess means its not runing fine but it doesnt seem like the sprecovery is the problem it looks like the file. since the last post i have deleted the update.zip file from my phone put the motocache file in renamed it and used rsd lite to flash. and gotten back to the install option on sprecovery and encounted the same problem. sorry if this is a simple fix and im just not doing it right i just cant see the error in my process.

Did you click on Allow before trying to install?

It's in SP. From the main menu, you'll see Install....the next screen it takes you to has an "Allow update.zip installation" option and an "Install update.zip (deprecated (sp?))" option.

yeah i hit the allow i just didnt notice it said allow. i also noticed that the heading i used is wrong sorry for any confusion its not installing the sbf what i need is installing the zip file most of you probably realized that and just ignored the title but sorry if it threw anybody off.
No its supposed to flash like that but nothing on the screen changes is what it means.
Which file are you changing to update.zip? MotoCache1 complete root right?
If you would like to download from another server find user "teddyearp" he has a file server in his profile with all kinds of Droid stuffs.

yeah thats the one i did but lets just be sure when its in winrar the mototcache1 file has four files: ..., META-INF, scripts, system, honestly this is probably where i went wrong so whats the procedure to put the file on the phone. i know its a noob question but clearly i made a noob mistake some where haha
hey everyone that helped thanks i got it to work there was a problem with the file there were two of them one complete one not its working now and i appreciate all the input thanks a lot and thanks for the walk through great job. i just had one more question i have a friend with a droid x can you recommend a walk through to root that if not its cool i'd rather have my phone rooted and him have to suffer my gloating haha
Plenty of info on that in this forum, but here is not where to ask.
