my g1 wont open my update.zip file from my sdcard!

Its reaally pissing me off cuz it will not open it and it says no such file exist even tho i can pull it up on my laptop!

maybe you should redownload the file?

i tried
that already and it didnt work either. I unrooted my phone and ended up back at firmware 1.0 and im trying to get cupcake back but my phone wont read the file. it keeps giving me the error message in the recovery screen.
E:cant open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
installation aborted

go intro astro and rename it update.zip or just update.
Your computer might of added an extra .zip

If you unrooted it did you reroot it so you can flash a rom?

Also I know you said you redownloaded it, but did you check the MD5sum.

If you've unrooted then like supreme mentioned, it would be wise to re-root and try flashing again. Also are you running Cyanogen & JF's recovery image? Would make updating much easier if so.

Are u using Modaco's stock update zip or the stock passion image zip...
if ur using the passion image zip, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, pop it onto ur SD card, reboot into recovery and it'll ask u if u want to install it...
if ur using Modaco's stock update zip, check the md5 or re-download it and flash via Amon_RAs recovery...

[Q] Cannot flash .zip files with CWM

I am currently running Stock JVH with Fugumod kernel 3.8. My problem is that I am unable to install ANY .zip file from CWM. I have tried supercurios hacked kernel also, but I got the same error:
Chose install zip from SD card:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/XXXXXXXXXX.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I have redownloaded every rom I have tried to flash several times, in case it was corrupted or something, also reflashed stock rom via Heimdall twice, nothing has worked. I have been using custom roms via cwm and heimdall for months, this has never happened before.
What could be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, not sure if it's possible but maybe your data cable is corrupting the files during transfer. I have had this message before and it was due to the file being corrupted. If you try and open the .zip file on your computer you can see if it is corrupted (if it opens it isn't).
Suppose away of testing if the data cable is corrupting your files during transfer would be to try and open the .zip file on your phone using thinkfree office or something similar. Again if it opens then it is not corrupted and I have no other thoughts.

CM7 problem or CWM ?

Hello first,
I wanted to yesterday, the new update of CM7 make up the v40 version.
Well but every time I get an error message when CWM, if I make a "Wipe Dalvik" do
Error message: "E: unknown volume for path (/ sd-ext) ".
and if I want to update the instalation, so on "choose from sdcard zip" then stands as an error message
Finding update package ...
Opening update pack ...
E: Can not open / sdcard/download/cm40.zip (bad) Installation aborted
I've really no idea which lies ahead. The updates before they all went without problems but now not any more why whatsoever.

Ignore the /sd-ext message, that's nothing.
My guess for the other error is that you just got a bad download.

I've downloaded twice and it came the same error. I've also tried to install the v39 and also did not work. And there is always the Android comes with a triangle where a !

Odd, that graphic sounds like the stock recovery, not Clockworkmod. What version are you using? I know 3.0.1.4 doesn't get on with CM7, but it should give an assert error, not that.

Okay the problem is removed. I've now downloaded the v41 and it worked. thanks again

do you have any idea how to back to optimus 2x official firmware?

clockworkmod, adb pull, or romdump

Help! Install from zip problems

I'm kinda stuck now. Ever since I installed cm7 rc5.3 I cannot install from sd card - anything. It cannot open any file when I try to install an update and only message is (BAD) Installation Aborted. Therefore when I tried to install rc5.4 I couldn't!
I don't want to flash through odin again cos thats the whole point of not having to wipe data etc on this new rom (hopefully). Before anyone asks, yes I have tried to unmount and unmount sd card and also toggled signature verification etc etc

try flashing cwm recovery 4.0 from odin it will not clear data maybe the new recovery by squadzone is not working for your device

You know whether this works or not, its a fantastic idea. I will try and let you know!

Well flashed cwm 4 through odin with no results, however I think I already had cwm 4 anyway cos couldn't install cwm 5 because of same installation problem. However now it has allowed me to install cwm 5 and after reboot recovery still this same message with rc5.4
Code:
Finding update package. . .
Opening update package. . .
E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2-RC5.4-GalaxyMini-Release-signed.zip(bad)
Installation aborted
I'm gonna try and redownload. Perhaps the download waas corrupted halfway through. I tried through a different sd card and still no results.
Edit* Think I've found the problem. I knew something was up as soon as I visited the download page. The 2 file sizes were completely different so something happened with the first download of rc5.4 so hopefully now (fingers crossed) everything should be fine! =)
Edit2* However it's not all fine. When I downloaded, it only downloaded 95.2mb instead of 95.3mb and the last time it downloaded it only downloaded 33.9mb. Does anyone have the full file perhaps they can upload elsewhere?? Please, I've been waiting a week to flash this =(

so i think cwm is not responsible for the error the problem is you have not downloaded the package properly
ok to find the problem delete maket, youtube app and try to flash gapps package after mounting system and data if the package get installed then cwm is ok. and redownload the package

you can do
-wipe data
-wipe cache
-install zip from sd
-choose the zip of the CM7 rc5.3
then try to flash again the cm7 rc5.4

Kilobyte differences may not mean a file is corrupted. Try comparing the checksums of the file with software like this:

your idea of checking md5sum is good but donot unestimate a single kb suppose if the update binary is not there then cwm will not install the package
