Default Androidiani doesn't find update files, can I try CWM for CM7 instead?

Hi,

I have a UK Milestone with stock Froyo rooted.
I followed all the steps (flash SBF, install open recovery, etc) but when I get to the part where I'm in the Open Recovery menu and select "Apply updates", all I get is a "go back" option, even though the proper CM7 zip file is in the SD Card's root.

So what could I be doing wrong?
Can I just try it with CWM, as it worked flawlessly with my Defy and Advent Vega?

Thanks for your help.

You need to put update zip with CM7 to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates folder, not to root of your sd card.

Don't use CWM on Milestone - it is not 100% compatible with that device.

the CM7 zip file should be on the OpenRecovery/updates folder, not on root. Then, when you go to the Apply updates option, the update.zip file for CM7 should show up on the list. Just select it and go ahead.

And no, don't ever try CWM on the Milestone, it won't work.
