Hi guys! I can't boot, because it's always went to the recovery. If I try to restore backup, it says MD5 mismatch, if I try to install new ROM, it says can't open (bad)
I tried to put back the stock 2.3.5, but it's bootlooping. Can someone help?
EDIT: Problem solved with formating sd card, re partitioning it, and flashing.
MODS: please delete the thread.

helllo i have a samsung galaxy s. i downloaded CWM and used it before and it ran fine did a backup. then i decided to do a full factory reset of the phone including formatting the SD card. the phone is still rooted.
anyway with a clean phone i reinstalled CWM premium and try and backup my rom to get a clean backup done as i want to be able to go back to the original rom supplied by my carrier (optus) once i have played with froyo.
now the issue is the phone reboots and then the following errors happen
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Cant open /cache/update/zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
does anyone know what to do, i have tried to do all the things as requested by CWM when i reboot, ie recovery mode is broken.
have enabled erase recovery = cant find this option
clearing the download cache =done no change
i reinstalled the program and have hard reset it again too.
Hi
if i understood correctly you formatted the internal memory of your phone. Well if thats the case, then unfortunately you deleted the ROM backup that you made on the internal memory (unless before formatting you copied the folder /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ (the rom back up folder) to your Computer) and also you deleted the clockwork recovery file. So now you need to install CWM from the scratch. and get yourself a stock (optus) rom backed up by someone the same method. i remember i have seen it somewhere here in the forum just search for it.
good luck
sorry what i mean is that i reset my phone to the factory default to get a backup of the stock optus firmware. and am having issues doing this backup. as it wont boot into recovery properly.
ok fixed it... not sure why as this does not make sense. but i went back to the internal sd card memory backup i had done and copied the recovery-update.zip and download folders back to the phone... went into CWM and then tried to do another backup and it works... maybe a bug during re-installation???
Well, glad to hear your problem is solved.
cheers
Hi. I've been pulling my hair out for over 4 hours now.
I boot into clockworkmod, choose install from zip, I can see the .zip but everytime I choose it the phone refuses to install it and gives me an error about cannot mount /sd/ or something similiar. From there the SD card cannot be found until i restart the phone.
Ive cleared all caches, done a factory reset..
The rom and phone works like it should except that I of course cant mount my phone with the sdcard while booted into GingerDX.
I've tried using two different SD cards and one of them is brand new (i just opened it because of this error). I've formatted both cards via a usbadapter on my computer and the only thing on them is the update file.
Every zip i try to update gives me the error that the card cannot be mounted even though the phone finds the different zipfiles on my card. And every time after i get the error the SD card cannot be found until I restart my phone.
Please help me, Ive spent hours searching on this problem but the only one who had this problem and got it fixed got it because he had his phone plugged in via usb while he was trying to update.
This is the error message I get.

E:Can't mount /sdcard/update-rom-chargemon+vold-alfskernel .zip

Just tried reflashing the Alfs kernel as well. Didn't work.

I have nothing to backup but as I said I've tried 2 different cards and formatted them both atleast 5 times each.
WOW! I think I solved it. I flashed the nAa kernel which just made my phone not start at all, the screen just turns on but nothing happened. Then I reinstalled v6 of Alfs kernel. But this time I booted into CWM by tapping back instead of tapping the screen (I was actually trying to get into xrecovery). There my first sdcard didnt mount at all so I put in the second one, chose the .zip, got a "are you sure bla bla" screen, pressed yes and it FINALLY flashed.
This is a really weird error..

you could not have 2 recovery at once by costum kernel. you must use the recovery in the kernel.
I haven't done anything but whipe my phone, install alfs custom kernel and GingerDX. I haven't installed anything else. Wierd error that starting CMW by pressing back instead of touching the screen lets you actually flash the update.
Hi guys, i was trying to find a solution and i think i made it. It's not that everything is connected but it did work for me.
What i did:
1. settings/application settings/ unknown sources - ON
2. settings/application settings/Development
- usb debugging - ON
- USB debugging notify -ON
- Allow mock locations - ON
3. Reboot in CWM recovery
- go to mount and storage (important!!)
- mount /sdcard
- go back, install zip from Sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard, find it and install it!!
That's it!

This happened to me a few times. On your SD card make sure you have "clockworkmod" folder all lowercase. Inside that folder there should be a "backup" folder. You need this folder for CWM to work
I've encountered the same problem as OP. sdcard wont mount. I installed the CWM v3.2.0.0-r3 via this script so I tap the screen to enter CWM but the back key opens xRecovery so solution in #5 doesn't apply.
Tried a different card, reply #9, cleared cache and data. Nothing seems to help so far.
Solved by flashing SE2.1 kernel back, installing recovery tools from x8toolbox this time and it let me go ahead with the rest.
Hello!
So I tried to install 2 roms with my MicroSD card (LewaOS and MokeeOS) but both failed. Roms used toget successfully installed before... Then I tried flashing a rom with another MicroSD and it worked!!
What could be wrong with my SD?
It keeps saying Can't open E:/xxxxxxxx.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Should I format my MicroSD??
Backup your data, format the memory card and try again.
If it still doesn't work check the md5 sum of the files you downloaded to make sure that they are not corrupted or anything.

THanks for your tip! It worked wen I flashed Zeus. I don't think it's a corrupted file since I could open the .zip.
But it may be a md5 sum error, or the Rom's Recovery idk.
Thanks anyway!
Hi guys so i was transferring movies to my nook, after that was done i removed the cable and my nook entered into a boot loop. Not being able to find my CWM backup i therefore decided to make a fresh install, i formatted my internal storage,cache and data. I loaded my ROM to my external sd card and booted to CWM, when i try to flash it brings up an error: E: Cant open /sdcard/Xperia-2.3.9-CARBON-JB-B11=-ovation.zip (bad) Installation aborted.
It gives this error for every ROM i try. Somehow i managed to find my CWM backup but when i try to restore it, it says: MD5 mismatch......Can anybody help?

When it says bad that usually means a bad download. And md5 mismatch means the backup is corrupted. Try using a different PC for downloads. Your antivirus software may be corrupting things.

i dont think so, i have tried three diffrent laptops it still failed. I got the problem solved by writing a cwm boot image to my 2GB SD that allows you to run a bootable version of stock rom v2.1.1......i booted via the sd and with a custom rom loaded on my sd i flahed and it worked no problems same applies with gapps. When i boot into my rom under storage settings it shows my emmc as "read only", am not sure if this is what caused the initial problem. Maybe changing the emmc permissions with ES file manager to both read and write will fix the initial problem as booting via emmc and attempting a flash still fails, however it works while the sd is inserted and flashing via TWRP which is installed on my emmc. Advise with your opinion
Hi, so i was trying to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-ncs-rom-v1-1-08-16-2016-t3440269
I have unlocked bootloader and i have latest TWRP, i have no idea what went wrong but everytime i try to boot now it says encryption was interrupted and can't continue, and everytime i try to flash image or wipe everything it keeps saying unable to mount /data and /storage. I really have no idea what to do, any help would be appreciated, please.
Did you try to go in the recovery and mount the system from there? Or just format the phone and install the rom through sd card
well i tried flash again the ROM and it worked now, but i had to install TWRP revision 3 guess it fixes some encryption stuff?
