Question - I just tried to flash the the update file in the first post (I had to rename it to "update.zip" so the stock recovery could see it) and I'm getting an aborted install due to a signature verification failure. I re-downloaded it and for the same error.
Any idea what stupid mistake I might be making?
Much appreciated.
Don't do that (renaming that update). It's meant to be flashed as is with a compatible custom recovery. But there is reason to believe that it doesn't actually work (ie doesn't actually update the radio).
That's why the procedure is to run the original, full update.zip from virgin mobile - and run it twice: first time to make it flash the new stock recovery, second time to actually flash the radio image. Factory wipe before each run (in recovery of course), that should save you from having to pull the battery on first boot.
The update is available on the vmu website. There are links earlier in this thread - along with more detailed instructions.
