It is possible that you may have a bad update file on your sd card. I have had this error a few times in the past. Try to download the ROM again make sure to give enough time for the file to copy to your sd card and then rename update.zip and try again. Good luck
is your sdcard partitioned in fat32?

cgm updater problem

hi all.. i have a g1 ,cgmod 4.2.1 flashed with a sigle_update method. now i'm trying to update with cgm updater to a 4.2.4 , but after update download, when i choose to apply the new rom, the g1 reboots in recovery mode, and shows this error :
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory)
e:cant mount sdcard :cm-updates/update-cm-4.2.4-signed.zip

if i rename the 4.2.4-cgm file, in "update" and then try to install in recovery mode (alt+s ??) WITHOUT performing a wipe, i will lost google apps?
thanks in advance!!
Something maybe wrong with your SDcard
You can still move the update file to the root of your SD and be able to flash it. No you wont lose google apps
thanks a lot!!! yes i think there is someting wrong with my new sdcard.. maybe wrong partition method... thank you for the reply..

ROM Manager + RomKitchen failure - cannot open file

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.
