this has nothing to do with awipe
make sure that if you're on windows rename it to update in the removable disk. go to console and do:
mount sdcard
ls sdcard
should say something with update, is it update.zip.zip or update.zip

try naming the file simply update w/no .zip sometimes windows will add an ext without you putting on the on the end of the file because it is already a zipped file. I had this problem the other day

Can't upgrade to The FroyoMOD 2.7.0 from 2.5.0

Figured it all out! Delete thread please.
Hey. I'm having some problems upgrading to the newest version of The FroyoMOD (2.7.0). I'm currently using 2.5.0.7 and I've got root.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Free version of Rom Manager: Install from SD-card -> Wipe Dalvik Cache -> phone reboots -> the load screen comes up and then hits 10% and I get the /!\ icon. Then the phone reboots yet again, but just into the old version (2.5.0.7).
Install through recovery: reboot into android system recovery -> apply sdcard:update.zip -> I get this error:
Code:
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or dir)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
As soon as I get to the system recovery menu I also get this error message:
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/command
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, any help would be appreciated.

Cannot get into CWM recovery captivate

I am getting ready to jump into flashing for the first time. I am having difficulty through trying to get into CWM Recovery. I need to do a nandroid backup of my stock Froyo with all the settings in order to avoid headaches if something goes haywire. I have tried several times and failed. I have the current version of CWM Recovery 2.5.1.2. Each time I Reboot into Recovery I get into the blue screen, not the red CWM. I have also done the Reinstall Packages option as instructed on other theads and sites. Still to no avail.
Also when I try the Backup Current ROM, I confirm the file name, hit OK I get yellow messaging stating:
update media
Appling Multi-CSC
Installing Multi-CSC
Install default apk-files
etc.
When I choose reboot system now the last thing stated before reboot is Phone is Reset. If I choose reinstall packages I get, in yellow,
Install from sdcard
Finding, opening and verifying update package
Followed by, in red,
E: failure to verify whole file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I appreciated any assistance/guidance to clear this problem up so I can get started flashing. I have done quite a bit a reading and thought I was ready. Hopefully this is a minor problem and does not indicate I need to do a lot more reading before I jump into the world of flashing.

How to flash a gingerbread rom Captivate (MobileTechVideos) on youtube will help you a whole lot with your issue. I really believe watchin this video is gonna help u!!! Good luck!

try re-downloading the update.zip (cwm.zip). and make sure its named update.zip and make sure it is in the main directory on your sd , (not in a folder).
You could try aio toolbox it has a cwm installer. with a simple clean & guide

really?? it was too hard to look at the sticky roll-up that contains all the info you need?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy "can't mount..."

Hello everybody,
first of all: congratulations for this helpful and amazing forum. I love reading and testing the roms which are offered here.
I just tried the Hybrid v 5.0 rom - the best i ever tested. Everything was smoothie and very harmonic.
Unfortunately it was not possible to write emails and to connect with Samsung Kies.
So i decided to use the known 2.3.4 version which works satisfiying.
To prepare the phone i made a wipe data/factory reset.
After reseting the phone shows me - when turned on and booting - the logo of Galaxian Kernel and the blue "loading beam" with the notice "is loading now."
But it doesnt quit loading.
The cwm shows me:
"E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]
E: can't mount /cache recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: unknown volume for path [cache/recovery/last_log]
....
"
Maybe some important datas are erased?
I really don't know what to do now.
Could you please give me some helpful advices (please use the easiest words because i'm no expert...) ?

For connecting kies you just have to install one patch, it will connect.
Regarding resetting, some files i deleted for utilizing space, which required for factory reset thats why you getting that.
let me explain why i delete that files, see when someone switch ROM ever developer want that user do fresh install but usualy people are lazy so they simply flash rom on other ROM, by deleting that files i conform that if someone want to change ROM then he had to flash first stock rom then other ROM so atleast he didnt got error or didnt able to claim that he coming from that ROM and so he getting this error.
btw for both issue why didnt u asked for patch, its easy task for me to make cwm for that and you able to connect kies and able to do factory reset.

Thank you very much for your fast answer.
i didn't thought about asking, sorry..
That's right. Before flashing your great rom i used the clear 2.3.4 firmware. I did the whole procedure as described here. Use a stock rom and than the other rom.
What could i do right now?
My phone doesn's start. "is loading now... " is written under the logo of Galaxian Kernel. The phone doesn't boot, isn't known by the PC, so i don't know what to do....

Boot to recovery and try wipe almost everything you can, factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache.
I remember one firmware gave me some errors about mounting and wiping stuff always fixed it.

I tried as you proposed but following message appears:
E: unknown volume for path [/data]
...
E: Unable process volume! Skipping...
Checking /cache...
Doesn't that mean that the necessary datas aren't there?
After wiping of all proposed things i tried to restart, but the blue beam under Galaxian still stops when it almost reached the end.

The main problem was Kies.
Phone couldn't be connected, so i couldn't fix the problem.
I just had to update the drivers so that the PC could connect to my little friend. Now it works
Thanks a lot for your help!!

Hi,
I've got the exact same problem.
Tried to flash Galaxian over Odin because my phone was in a boot loop. Then it just stuck when the Galaxian kernel "is now loading" screen appeared.
I can access Recovery and wiped data aswell as cache partition- then I just tried to flash Galaxian a second time with Odin but I have the same problem with the "is now loading" screen now.
Plus I updated Kies drivers.
What can I do? Im really not that experienced but I really NEED my phone!
