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

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 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.
Hi all,
I have SGS i9000 from PlusGSM. It's rooted. Today i'v installed ROM Manager. I cooked "my" ROM, downloaded it - JV5_No_Wipe-v6-20-19-25-21-06-4e00e0a7e252b.zip - and saved on internal card (mounted in /sd on my phone).
I tried to:
1. Create backup of current rom and flash ROM from SD card via ROM Manager
2. Just flash from SD card.
I tried to fix privileges and then do 1 and 2.
I also tried to remove external sd card and repeat 1/2.
I always get after rebooting into recovery mode:
-- Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I thought about using manual "update" in recovery mode but then, it looks for
/sdcard/update.zip (not /sd/update.zip) so i assume naming file as update.zip in /sd would give me nothing.
I suppose my problem is trivial but it's my first attempt to flash my SGS with a custom ROM and I cannot find good answer that would lead me to the solution (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1060352.html).
Thank you for your patience.I appreciate any suggestions,
You don't need RomManager to flash updates. You just need a CWM enabled kernel and then you can flash romkitchen directly from recovery.
I would suggest you install hardcore-s kernel using Heimdall or Odin. Altough CFRoot is also good and has CWM.
RomManager is supposed to be a frontend to CWM, but it did not work for me and I heard that it sometimes fails on the SGS.
I have searched for a few hours and can't find anyone with a similar issue.
I have my 2.2 captivate rooted and unlocked with CWM and TB installed. Got the Cyanogen 7 zip install on my sd card.
Loaded CWM Recovery and backed up my rom.
Restarted and went to CWM to Install Rom from SDCard
It doesn't point to the SD card, however. It starts in the Internal storage, so i choose external_sd/ then the update file
it boots into recovery, formats the phone, but gives me the "No such File or Directory" message with the path set to SDCARD External SD Update.zip(Cyanogen install)
So it thinks my internal storage is my SD card?
So its pointing to the wrong directory, but i cant find an option anywhere to make it go through the right directory.... help?
sorry, mods please delete.
It is installable througn CWM,

Harder way:
Make sure you're running a Eclair/Froyo Firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders!
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try taking out your external sd before you flash, and if you have anymore problems post in the CM7 Q&A thread
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?

Hey Guys.
I'm in a bit of ****.
I did my first rom flash yesterday, and all worked well. However the system would reboot once every 12 or so hours.
I noticed when I did CWM Recovery 5.5, that the total data wipe failed, but I researched that it was an issue, and had been fixed in CWM 6.0
The rom description said that if a total data wasn't done, you would have problems.
So I flashed 6.0, and did the CWM Recovery again with all the wiping options, but when I went to 'install zip from sd card', the file wasn't there. I assumed that the contents of the card wouldn't move, or be deleted, but it obviously was.
Now when I followed the original guide on XDA, I did the backup as stated, but it must not have worked, as in restore it's telling me there's no backup file found.
So at the moment, all i'm getting is the Samsung Galaxy S3 loading screen, but it's not going beyond that.
All I can access is CWM, and the Downloading screen.
What can I do to get my phone accessible again?
Thanks
plug your phone to PC (with downloaded ROM)
go to cwm -> mounts and storage -> mount usb storage. Now you should see Phone SD card on your PC. Put ROM in main folder uplug and flash.
if it doesn't help you should flash via odin (at download mode) 3 file ROM (f.e. JW1) with pit512 and re-partition checked, then flash kernel with cwm and start fun with cwm flashing.
Keep your ROMs and gapps and kernels etc on microSD next time
I do that so when I flash a new ROM I just wipe and format everything. I know its not necessary to format SD, I just do it anyway to clean up folders from old apps etc.
