I am trying to root my captivate, on rebooting ( reinstall pkgs.) I get an error "can't open / sd card/ update.zip.
SD card is out and unmounted. Tried factory reset to clear but still same error.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Make sure it's just named update not update.zip.
I'm having same problem and it's renamed "update".

Your signature says your on stock ROM so it should work fine.
I attached then one I use, from JF6 or JH7, just in case.

The file must be copied as is. Don't rename it in windows and you can check your phone with my files after copied....name should be update.zip if not rename it on phone to that
And it needs to be on internal sdcard... /sdcard/update.zip
Swyped.....you may have to interpret

BTW I have searched for hours.
(my phone is rooted)
I am trying to go back to the RC29 build. I need to get replacement phone.
I dl dreaimg.nbh and put it on my freshly formatted fat32 sd card.
Everytime I hold camera and power on, it gives me a serial0 failure on a yellow line.
I am lost right now.
Ask in the Q&A section of the forum.
Have you read THIS???
Yes, I have.
I put the prginal SPL on the phone and renamed it to update.zip, I then put DREAIMG.nbh on the sd card as well, and then tried to install the update.
E:cant open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted
Press home and back to reboot

Are you on Windows machine? Make sure that it does not hide file extensions and you're not renaming your file to update.zip.zip
That's the only thing I can think about at this point but let's rule that out first
Let us know how it goes, we'll troubleshoot more if we need to
Good luck
lol you dont need to unroot to get a replacement phone. ive had four already every single one of them rooted just dont have a theme on it. and if your that serious about it just brick the phone. Not then say you was trying to update to the cupcake rom. Works Everytime

This is the Q&A section. You sir failed miserably.
Im not adding extra file extensions, I would just turn the phone in, but it does have a theme.
Ok, I figured it out on my own. Now running RC29.
So what's the trick?
Dl the updates from another source, freshly wiped the card for fat32.
Hi, i flashed JPJPG on my phone via Odin now i see there is no market on the phone. Tried factory set but still no market. Is there any way to put market on my phone? Help

Try copying to /system/app (with adb or root explorer) and rebooting, that may work.
The reason you're missing it is probably due to an incorrect product code. Flashing new CSC with correct product code would probably fix it.

Is it ok if i copy it to external sd card and installing via file explorer?

I don't know if that will work, but since it has to be in /system, you are much better off copying it to /system and then rebooting like I said. Unless you have some special market apk installer that you found somewhere.
Best bet would have been to flash using appropriate CSC/country code to begin with then you will have market. But if you don't want to do it, you can fix this.
Can you tell me how to copy to system? Can i connect phone to pc, turn on mass storage and copy?
Well I got a stock 1009 built captivate that's running the official froyo. I decided to attempt to flash my first rom.
I used superoneclick to root and installed titanium backup and backed up my apps and data. That worked fine.
Then I used odin3 one click and restored to jh6? I think. And that worked fine.
Then when I went to use the One Click root. Where you have to copy the root file onto your internal sd and rename it update.zip then run the .exe file. I got some error in the green cmb prompt that I couldn't read quick enough and the phone rebooted into recovery and when I went to reinstall packages it told me that update.zip didn't exist? Rebooted normally and it was still there in the internal sd.
Is there something that im doing wrong or another way past this? For the hell of it i left the update.zip, rooted using superoneclick and installed rom manger and all of that worked fine in till it rebooted to recovery again.
basically I cant root with one click, but superoneclick works fine..
Edit: Noticed I put this in the wrong forum. Can a mod please move to q&a?
using regular one click is easy enable debugging and dont mount the sdcard clcik root and cmd window pops up starts daemon copies file and reboots phone select reinstall packages and should be good. If not delete the update.zip and start over remember dont mount the sdcard so it is accessible from the computer.

place in /mnt/sdcard/
this location is the root location of "my files" known as root of SD card
not to be confused with the phone's root directory that you need root explorer for.
It's placed in the right area. When I move the file, rename it, then ummount the phone and run one-click. It reboots into recovery fine and when I reinstall packages it gives me error about a signature?

when you run the app, you will notice 2 radio buttons on the right hand side.
click on RAGE
make sure your phone is in USB Debugging mode and that you have all your drivers installed.
Alright thanks alot. Im still doing a little research on the rage method. Basically I just root and have that option ticked? Then I should be good to go?

Don't appologize for asking questions-we all need answers to one thing or another
The first thing you want to do is go to the android market and search for Rom Manager. You already have this installed if you are running CM7, but you need to update it to the newest version.
Then, Just open your app drawer and open up Rom Manager. When it opens, the very top line says "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery". Tap on that, choose Nook Color, and it will update to the newest version 3.2.0.1.
Hope this Helps!
What's the best way to update recovery on sdcard? Mod manager only updates the internal flash..

I downloaded an updated version located HERE and extracted the files and attached them for you. Just download and unzip the files to your current CWM SD card.

Ok, thanks! So you can indeed copy the files as-is.. with Paleolithic dos 3.2 origin, I tend to expect you need to use special app to copy the system files. In any case, I've installed the boot menu on SD card so by defaults I boot internal flash. No need to lose sanity removing the easy-to-lose usd card.. I can also start the recovery from internal flash..

Yes, I have updated a couple times by just transferring the updated files onto my bootable CWM card. I have done a number of back-ups and restores without a problem. The files are self-contained file systems, so not much damage from a simple transferring of them. If you want to install a special app for windows to be able to update the SD card in the future, then I would download this very handy tool, ImDisk, it will allow windows to mount the updated img file and extract the files from it.
Hi, I'm using Xperia X8 with 2.1 stock and baseband 015..
When I'm trying to install some ROM from here, Xrecovery gives an error: Cannot open xxx (bad). Installation aborted.
Can anyone help?

is the xxx zip file ??
try to install it with cwm recovery, not xRecovery
Thanks for help, but still nothing.. The same error with CWM... Yes, it's a zip files
Do the zip files have spaces in their names? If so, remove all spaces.
Another thought is that the files get corrupted when downloading. Maybe there's a problem with your internet connection or PC
I doubt it, though.
What rom are you trying to install?
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
1.My PC is okay
2.It hasn't got any spaces in it's name
3.I've tried so many ROMs like gingerbread and froyobread.
On my last X8 it worked well, but here..
Are you install cwm manually? If yes try do it with x8toolbox
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Still the same...
Repair your phone with PC compaion then install CWM recovery put Prime HD for stock kernel on sdcard
if this does not help then try to unlock bootloader
Doesn't work, still the same...

Try downloading the zip file again without pausing the download...
It might click in
Is your phone rooted?

Same problem with diferents custom roms, solved CHANGING SD for me(8G one for 4G, i don't know if SD's size was the problem)
Dude, check in the zip file and see if it is really a ROM. If it has two folders, one called "META-INF" and "system" it's a rom, else it could have a "date named folder" so it's a backup file (like in Matej's rom/eclair), you must extract it to the clockworkmod folder. Or even to give the installation aborted, it maybe means that the meta-inf ins't installing the rom or the system files is corrupted, try to download the rom again, but if it's your own rom, try to recompile it, if made with Winrar use mode "store" and set as .zip.
If nothing work, try this:
1- Format SD Card;
2- Save the rom in the SD Card again;
3- Reflash Kernel and Recovery
4- Try to install rom again.
Or even try to install clockwork, if you're using x-recovery...

Well, this is interesting. Can you tell me the model of the 8GB one? Can you test both of them with CrystalDiskMark or something and post the speeds here?

Size isn't the problem, I think, because my SD is 8gb with 2gb as ext and works very well with both x-rec and cwm...
