[Q] Issues upgrading kernal - DTJP5

---

G'day Guys,

This is actually my first time posting. I'll also point out that while I am quite technical minded & have been working in IT for a few years.. I haven't yet upgraded to a custom ROM - and as such I'm having issues :P

Basically, i've got a Froyo GT-I9000 with a build of DTJP5 and recovery console 3e

I've found Darky's mod to be pretty good and i'm wanting to upgrade to it, upon suggestion by the thread for v9.4? i installed Clockwork Mod & ran through the install for that, however now I'm at the part when I'm trying to apply the update.zip and i get the dreaded 3e "Verification Failed" error.

Could anyone help me out and possibly throw me in the right direction?. I'm lost..

To my knowledge, you will keep on getting the "Verification Failed" error. You need to root your phone (because its froyo, on eclair you could simply go and start using the update.zip for clockwork recovery).

Read this thread. Read the instructions, download the required file and get SU (or root) on your phone and then use the custom ROM you had in mind. I though suspect, you will need to flash your original firmware again. Or you could simply use any stock ROM you can lay your hands on.

Good luck mate.

Phone is already rooted using z4Root permanent.

Yea i've had a look at that article a few times, couldn't find a kernal version close enough to mine. Also when going through the ODIN method using the correct kernal from Z4, i just kept getting the error "Check files!"
