Can Not Root My Cappy

---

So I have been trying to root my phone. They sent me a new one after dropping mine and breaking it into a billion pieces.

I am running android 2.2 on my new phone and it has been updated to the fullest by AT&T. I have tried running the Update.zip but in recovery it is getting blocked. I get a error that says:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

I tried running it over and over but still get the same error.

I have also tried Z4Root but it just sits on the screen over night about trying to run some exploit that never ran.

I have tried running SuperOneClick but it just hangs during me trying to run it on installing Busy Box. * NOTE GOT THAT TO WORK!

but when trying to install ClockWork and reboot to recovery I still get the stock recovery and when I try to run a Update.zip that has the clockwork in it I get

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

I have also tried running the AIO Captivate Software.

My last cappy was so much easier to root. Why am I running into so much trouble.

This is a known issue, Ive attached a link that will get you through this process. I too had this problem and followed these instructions to resolve it.

with 2.2 dont root like that~~! and what ^that guy said for after rooting too!

[APP]SuperOneClick v1.9.1 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App) - xda-developers

I had an issue with rooting in 2.2 as well, right around the time that 2.2 had first come out. I was trying to root so that I could get CWM properly installed, and a custom rom to replace the stock 2.2. What I ended up doing was using Odin 1 click to restore to 2.1 and flash the custom rom from there. It was, at that time, the easiest way for me.

Thank you all for the fast reply i will try some of those methods out and see what one works best. I have odin at the house. I have not used it once i do adb recovery download and it boots to with the lil android guy shoveling stuff how long does it normally take from there.
