[Q] partly rooted?

Hey, So i was trying to root my motorola droid maybe 2 weeks ago but it didnt work, and i didnt really care enough to try again (i have a mac and it was a pain to find a windows computer). I thought everything would be fine, but for some reason when i tried to update my phone to 2.2 (i found the update.zip on androidcentral) it said that it failed, and for some reason when i restart holding down the X, it says:
Android system recover <2e>
Patched by SirPsychoS (0.00.3b)
is there a way to change that back to the regular one? or am i screwed hahaha
Also when i hit "allow update.zip installation' and then 'install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated) i get this:
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborded.
What do you guys think i should do? finish rooting it (can i have directions please ) or is there a way to get it back to how i got it? I think i alreayd tried to factory reset it
Thanks

Assuming you can boot into recovery, find your original ROM on the net, if available and re-flash with that to be un-rooted and back at square-one.
Could be the ROM you flashing now is not for your network provider, or you haven't successfully rooted.
I'm HTC myself so would use a goldcard (google it) to use a generic rom with my vodafone phone. Don't know if goldcards work with motorola.

hmm i cant seem to find it, could i just stick with what i have now and receive the 2.2 froyo update when it comes through OTA?

Depends how you rooted (or tried to root) if you flashed a rooted Rom in the root process it probably won't be updating from the official Motorola servers.

I don't think i even flashed a rom, i tried that screenshot program (i cant remember the name of it, but you need root to use it) and it wouldnt work so i dont actually have root. I think that i tried to flash it with a rooted 2.1 rom but it failed. what do you guys suggest i do?

ok so i figured out that it was because my mac unzipped the file, but when i try to install it i get this:
Install from sdcard...

[Q] NexusBeam 4.01 problem

First time trying to install a ROM other than the default on my AT&T Nexus S. Unlocked the boot loader. Installed Clockwork. Downloaded the NexusBeam4.01 and named the file update.zip. Copied it to the SD card, rebooted, told it to update from the zip file. I get the following:
-- Install /sdcard --
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Being new, I was hoping someone could tell me where I went wrong. Nexus S, AT&T.
Thank you.
Mike.

Got it figured out. I had unlocked the bootloader, but not rooted. All better now. Sorry for the newbie intrusion.

[Completed] N7 not able to update to 5.0.2

My N7 was giving error during upgrade from LRX21P to LRX22G.
I am using NRT to sideload .
It shows error of "/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" has unexpected contents.
E: Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
What is the issue?

Hi,
Status 7 errors are usually caused by the wrong custom recovery installed... But if you are sideloading a Lollipop OTA, then you should be using the stock recovery. If you aren't, that's likely the issue.
Status 7 is also caused by bad downloads/zip files. Try downloading again, or from somewhere else.
If you still need help, you will need to register on XDA and ask for help in this dedicated help thread in your device section,

Good luck!

Seriously what made you think you can flash custom software without unlocking your bootloader? Either stick to stock OS or if you wanna enjoy CM13 you have to unlock and install a custom recovery

You sound like a bit of a ****

He is right though.
The way op describes it, it sounds as if he actually knows that the bootloader
should be unlocked. But at the same time he is amazed that it does not work.
Then this "solution?"... Seriously?
There are guides on xda for unlocking and flashing for a reason.
Pretty dumb and useless thread if you ask me.

Downgrading Android Version on TP-Link Neffos C7

Hello all!
I searched and found that TP-Link Neffos C7 doesn't have his own Forum, so I'm asking here.
Thing is, System updated to Android Oreo 8.1.0 and I was happy with Nougat 7.0. However, TP-Link removed the C7_NFUI7.0 ROM for this device on their support website, so I had to get the 7.0 Stock ROM from another website (I tried to contact support several times but they don't even bother to answer).
After trying to downgrade the Android Version from 8.1.0 to 7.0 via Stock Recovery, the system can't apply the downgrade.
I always get this message:
Code:
Android Recovery
Neffos/TP910A/C7
8.1.0/O11019/2756
user/release-keys
System check SUCCESS!!
--Install /sdcard/C7_NFUI7.0_TP910R2391.zip...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Update package verification took 59.0 s (result 0)
Installing update...
Warning: No file_contexts
E3004: This package is for "C7" devices; this is a "".
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
(I've had two Xperia phones before, and both with custom ROMs gotten from here, so I consider that I'm not that noob with the use of Recovery)
I tried to search the web on this error message, but the "solution" of changing the name in the update script doesn't work either.
I gave up on downgrading via recovery, so I tried to do it via SP Flash Tool. However, I need the Scatter.txt file that comes with the ROM and the one that comes with the Stock ROM doesn't work, SP Flash Tool gives the error message that this file is not valid.
I tried to obtain it via MTK Droid Tools but even after installing MTK and ADB Drivers, MTK Droid Tools doesn't recognize my device.
Any help will be very appreciated.

i faced same problem.. please help.......

anyone could help please...
