Any OTHER rom. In most cases if you upgrading same type of rom no need to full wipe. Just try w/o it, if fail to boot then full wipe.
So i need to do a wipe when instaling froyobread on stock rom?

Blind RECOVERY MODE??

Well I just rooted my phone and I tried to install Zeus ROM.. inside the recovery mode I select.. install zip from SD card.. then I open the main SD card folder where I have Zeus 7 and update 06.. and the CMW doesn't see them anyway.. it only sees the superuser.zip... any help???
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
Is the ".zip" extension there ? I sometimes when downloading some zip files, only get files with no extension, like "XYZ" and I need to rename it to "XYZ.zip". Just suggesting, don't know what really is your case. :/
It is already. Zip
It sees only the superuser.zip

Install goomanager, then launch it and use the soft button at the left of our phone (you know, the one that shows more settings) and select to install TWRP. That's how I installed it quickly with no headache.

I had this problem once. I remembered it was due to my CWM being the later version. So I 'downgraded' it and everything went well

do you have problems with other zips?
I think you need to update your recovery, as suggested above get latest twrp or cwm
If youre trying to see if its a sd card problem its not,because i have already saved the iodek file in the internal memory and its the same error...i already downloaded rom manager which updated my cwm recovery.but no luck...

Its not a waste to try other Recovery system...Such like TWRP...Also, try unsecure boot
did you flashed a rom or any other zip before?
another way to flash a kernel :
download boot.img from the dev and flash it via fastboot
