it's up to you but since you have already failed several times trying to install an update.zip,i would try the nandroid option.make sure it's just a folder and not a zip.the folder should contain 5 files...boot,data,cache,nandroid md5 and systemYea I'm back at work so I have to wait until I get out of the office to try more steps. My battery seems to be charging now since I put blackdroid on. What should I attempt first the nandroid file that is unzipped or attempting to do the droidmod update.zip. As for my 'guru' status more like an ass who tried everything possible because he screwed up lol
