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.

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 tried search and got a message saying it was down and I don't have enough posts for the development forum.
So, I D/l emmc CWM 3.0.0.6.zip.
The instructions say to d/l it; copy to SD card, insert card, go to rom manager, reboot into recovery, and then flash the zip file.
So, I do that... using both 3.1.0.10 and then directly off the 3.0.0.6 card, that I used last night with no problem when I went to CM v11.
Both efforts resulted in this error message: installing: /sdcard/emmc cwm 3.0.0.6.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/emmc cwm 3.0.0.6.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I searched both the web and this site and got zip.
Any ideas would be appreciated... thanks!
Hey,
I want to install a custom ROM..
I've rooted the phone and installed ClockworkMod (recovery).
I booted into recovery mode and tried to wipe all. That worked.
I copied the ROM file to an external SD-Card (The SD-Card is not empty), but it don'f find the sdcard???
I get the message: "unable to mount /sdcard"
Anyway, isn't that the internal sd-card?
How to go on?
shut down you phone
then startit by pressing and HOLDING both power & volume down (untill you see android in text on your screen)
that usually works.
if it doesnt, remove backcover and hardplug your sd card (remove it and put it back in)
Haha!
Im a newbie
It worked Thanks a lot!
Kind of funny to play with this stuff
Hello,
after the reboot to the ClockworkMod i give this error:
Installing: /sdcard/_ExternalSD/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Optimus2X-signed.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/_ExternalSD/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Optimus2X-signed.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Any idea?
Dont use the update function, look a bit more down i think its called install zip or something.
You did use rom manager from the market right?
If this is what you did make a backup and try reformatting your sd
I have the same problem every now and then
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
What is important is the version of CWM. If you use 3.2.x.x version, the external SDcard is the only that can be used.
If you use 4.0.0.x, you must verify wich version you used, there is one version that can mount only internal SDCard and one that can mount only external one.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745
Not sure what version of CWM I have, but it worked by holding down power button and vol. down.
It also helped to plug it out and then in again...The sd-card

my CWM - Based recovery is V6.0.4.6
I have no access to my internal memory, only on my memory card.
Solve the problem about odin 1.7 is not possible because no access to pc

Is there a solution with my CWM-baset Recovery v6.0.4.6 and a clockworkmod ROM ??
