i rooted my 2.1 hero and i did everything right i think since the permission app is in the app tray. but when i download the rom and put the zip file on the sd card and when i try to flash it the task aborts.
Try redownloading the rom.zip file...maybe your first download of it was just corrupt. Overwrite the old one on your SD card and give it another go.
You're trying to flash it from the recovery menu, right?
Which recovery version are you using? If the redownload doesn't work, try using a different recovery.

Hey all, i have been trying for a couple days not to flash various .zip rom builds to my I9000m (i know people who have the M and have had no problems doing what i'm trying to do.)
So here's the deal, i have a stock jh2 build on the phone (have reflashed and repartitioned several times, to no avail)
i have rooted with OCLF, installed rom manager, installed clockwork (latest) and i can boot in to clockwork recovery, but every time i try to flash a .zip i get the error
Finding update package...
opening update package...
E:Can't read /sdcard/....zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
i get the same result when trying to flash from the stock recovery as well. (2e)
However, i had no problem flashing the .zip for clockwork and OCLF root, and i have no problems flashing with odin.
HALP!
no love?

Are you selecting the update zip from inside rom manager or in clockwork recovery?
I would boot into clockwork recovery and select install from sd card there and see if you can select the zip unless of course this is what you have been doing
Also you could download the zip again as it may have gotten corrupted

Edit...forget to give some love
yeah, i have done all that, manually selected the zip most of the time, tried 3 different zips from 3 different builds.
That is odd...i am not sure what to say now other than flashing a rom through odin
Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
any idea how to convert a rom to .tar so i could do that? i have no problem flashing through odin, i just have no availability to jp6 or jpa roms... they're all .zip
Guess it's the 3e recovery that doesn't let you apply sdcard:update.zip.
If it is the issue with 3e, then the message would say signature not verified when trying to use an unsigned zip
Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
make sure the update.zip is at the root of /sdcard/
are you able to access your internal sd card?
remove the external SD card just in case
it might be a defective internal SD card if it can not see the internal SD when you boot into recovery mode
I don't and have never had 3e, I don't get an unsigned error in either stock or clockwork, I do have the files in the root of /sdcard no problem accessing /sdcard through windows explorer.
I have a problem with my android ..
I Downloaded latest CM7 ROM to SD Card
Rebooted to Recovery Mode
I selected install zip from sd card
I selected choose zip from sd card
I selected the CM7 ROM
Selected Yes - Install update
I Waited till the Installation is finish
I selected reboot system now... after reboot should i do something ?
Beacuse when i reboot i just get the Samsung Logo.. please help me !!
just reflash CM7 and wait a wild
first boot always take time
1. Make sure you're using ClockworkMod Recovery or RZ recovery instead of stock recovery.
2. Wipe data after installing CM zip file. Just make sure you backup your stuffs using TB instead of Kies, for Kies won't detect your device if it's running CM7

U should wipe the data after installing rom and reboot
after that all will work fine
Wipe data and cache, flash the zip
if that doesn't work download again, could be the zip file
if it still doesn't work format the system and flash a different version of CM7
My galaxy mini has 2.3.6, I did with the ordered list:
1- Partition SD card
2- wipe data and cache
3- install zip from sd card
and after a few seconds, it says: "file aboarded"
what's wrong in my way?
you have missed the IMPORTANT STEP:
You can't install a custom rom (CM7) from gingerbread stock recovery, so go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342190
download ODIN 4.38+tass.ops and tass.recovery-cwm.tar from attachments, then follow the given instructions carefully.
after all is done successfully, reboot to cwm recovery, wipe cache and data then install zip from sdcard.
now you're a happy member from this amazing wonderful and big community
As I understood, he already have CWM because he was able to partition SD card...
Maybe the file you downloaded was corrupt, try download it again. And make sure you install the big one (~94MB) first!
aborted maybe? try to redownload, maybe your file is corrupt.
If you're using rom manager, stop using it while you can before your phone bricks.
Did you root your phone?
Did you install Clockworkmod recovery?
If so, then the file is likely corrupt or you're trying to install a patch file before installing the actual rom.
Try redownloading the rom and install the biggest one first.
Maybe you forget mount system?? Or file corrupt?

try disabling or enabling the script verification and signature check in install zip from scared option it was worked for someone before
are you try to install CM 7 with CWM Recovery 5 or using Recovery Stock based ?
if you're using CWM 5, then try to re download file zip
try redownload again..

I tried to flash doc's V8 ROM but after all the wipes when i choosed "Instal zip from sd card" I got the error that no file found, and when I tried to reboot the recovery he said can't mount sdCard ... what should I do???
please I searched and did'nt know what to do ....
Can you get into download mode? If so you would be best to install a stock samsung firmware using odin , then root and start again.
Did that, again after flashed stock and wipe before installing the rom when I tried to choose zip from sd card, the same thing happend... "no files found"... what should I do??
have you copied the file to your internal sdcard?
To the Sdcard... after flashing stock rom and putting semaphore kernel I have the ability to install zip from sdcard , but if I wanna change the rom I should wipe the factory + cache + dalvik + format system... after I do the factory wipe, I can't Install anything from sd card, I get the error that no files found... what to do?
Tried something..
I tried just install zip from sd card over the stock 2.3.6 , I installed the Doc's Rom , and it works, but I didn't wiped anything... Is it ok?
Should I act diffrently ???
If it`s all working i would just leave it as is...it is good to wipe but not always needed . check that your cwm is the latest version or reflash another version through the app to see if that resolves your zip files not showing up .
I can install now zip from SDCARD but I think that If I would do a full wipe I won't be able to do that..
I want to up to some cook rom, i rooted, unloked bootloader, flash boot.img. First time, in recovery mode, i can't turn on usb mass store, but i can choose zip file. I used cmd to "adb push" rom file into sdcard. When it's completed and reboot, i can't acces sdcard. Now, my XL just stop at Hboot and recovery mode. Help me Sorry if my english is not good
why on earth are u pushing a rom insted of flashing from recovery ?
go to recovery,
mount sd card
copy zip file to sd card
unmount sd card
install zip from sd card
if this is not fixing sd card then u need to change vold.fstab in \system\etc\ if u are running hboot 1.25 or 6.25 then change it to 33 and only the number, if u arre running 1.28 or 6.28 then it is 34.
when this is corrected save the file and reboot.
u need to use an app like es filexplorer that can give u write permission to system files.
or else there is a zip file u can flash according to the hboot u are on. if not i will make one for u.
but try the other things first
Og you are using touch recovery it is full of bugs, try flashing ics recovery via xl multitool found in dev section and do what I wrote

how can i flash zip file without sdcard available? can you give me some steps? ^^
here u go : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
just instead of rom use the zip file i gave u
or u can use this zip file View attachment 1459318
unpack it to the root folder on C:/ and boot phone to recovery and then open runme.bat
then flash zip from sd card and then u have the correct vold.fstab
The easiest way to flash the zip is to get into the Recovery, mount SD card, and after that you flash in the nromal way.
If the SDcard is not available in the Android ROM this doesn't mean it is not available in the Recovery, so use Recovery Folks, if you have a recovery that does not support mount usb, then use QTAdb while in recovery to get you zip to the sdcard.
This is as easy as pepsi (masked comercial)
that is also what i am telling him ? push it via adb to sd card and flashing via recovery?

i can push it into sdcard, but when i choose zip file from sdcard, it's say "can't mount sd card". I copy vold.fstab that you give into /system/etc but sdcard still can't mount. Now recovery screen is black, can't see anything. oh my god. I used QTadb, but i can't flash zip, when click on it, nothing happen
