I had to format my SD card FIRST before proceeding. I dont know why but i do know it worked for me. Back up all your stuff and give it a try.

For some reason not formatting my SD card was causing problems, just dump the card and start with a clean slate.

the post i just gave was what i used to fix my half rooted problem. I have had zero problems flashing multiple froyo roms. Unrooting your phone, then flashing unrootable froyo probably is not the optimal way handle your problem.

Just follow the above link, wipe your sd card, follow the guide exactly. Only put the files from the guide on your sd card. If there is further confusion....your screwed?

Half assing the root or (half assing your research prior to root) is how we got ourselves into this mess in the first place. There is no simple cure. Just take 20 minutes to read over the guide. Take another 20 minutes to follow the guide. Be thorough. It will work.

flash the original 1.47 RUU (in the shipped rom sticky)...then either A. root w/ simple root and flash a custom rooted rom or B. do the OTA.

thaz wut i did. **** unrevoked.

I am full root with nand unlock and i can't get ota to work. Goes about 1/4 then stops so a full root and nand unlock isn't the answer. Haven't used unrevolked since i did full root 6+ weeks ago.

OTA wont work after root. Unrevoked is no bueno. Never did simple root, did it the original way.

It's not that I am not doing it right. I promise you, I am doing everything 100% according to the directions.

I just used the RUU to flash back to stock 1.47 then tried to root from there, everything appeared to work fine, got no errors or everything, yet whenever i have to boot to recovery I always get that damned red triangle with the exclamation point. And I downloaded an app called reboot recovery and it told me I wasn't fully rooted
I just said **** it and did the stock ota 2.2

On the red triangle screen try holding volume up and pressing power if your truly rooted it should put you in the modded recovery if that doesn't work I will track down the update zip file for you
