Hey everybody,
I apologize in advance if this post is a duplicate but I have tried searching for a solution and still lost. Here is what I did: I used the Odin to restore stock rom, then re-rooted using the one click method, then downloaded a rom from theunlockr.com, then used rommanger to install it. My rom has gave me no problems but now when I try to reboot into recovery to install something else(Like the 2.3 keyboard or a lagfix) i get this error:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted
Can someone please help me? Thank you, BTW I have a Samsung Vibrant running axura-froyo-rom
I had the same problem too.
When I put update.zip at the root directory of internal memory... once I restart the phone (not get into the recovery mode), this file is missing / dissapear. So... I always got this message too :
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted
anybody can help us pleaseeeeee
I got my phone to factory settings using odin then i rerooted my phone and flashed the same custom rom back on and it worked. Try reflashing your phone, backup first, might work.

thanks for reply.
how to use factory setting using odin ? tick the "re-partition" box ?
can you explain to us step by step please ?
I'm so frustated
Did you guys delete the update.zip after rooting?
If you do not see
sdcard/update.zip using a file manager, download the update.zip from my noob guide, move it to internal memory and then try to flash CWR.
Also, look in the bottom of the noob guide (last few posts) for a solution to a RECENT issue with CWR... I assume whatever Koush did in the last update is causing this problem? BUT, there is a fix posted by another XDA user... just a matte of downloading the file and putting it in the right place.

listen to s15's post....he knows what he is talking about. i followed his noob guide in his sticky and everythign worked perfectly! his vids are also very helpful. one thing i have found that works a lot as well is if you download ROM Manager from the market and then click on "fix permissions"... don't know if this would help in this situation but i have had that fix weird stuff.

yeah this, the update.zip is ESSENTIAL for your phone to run the clockwork recovery, it stores all the things needed, and when you click "reinstall packages" your system goes in update.zip and looks for what to boot up and finds CWR and boots that so you see that screen.
Don't delete it if you did.
i have tried numerous times to root,but cant seem to get update.zip file in right place,can anyone help? thanks. challenged noob!!

When you usb into your phone it needs to be in the initial area of your sdcard.
You might have a bad update.zip file. Two things, verify the md5(if possible) from where you got it and check the properties and make sure it's not names update.zip.zip. The later is very common.
Try this method too btw, when I Odin back to stock I always use this one to root again. Follow the 'Automated Method' area.

you will need these drivers AND set your phone to debugging mode (settings/applications/development check USB debugging).

hey all,
Newbie here trying to flash a ROM, i am running into this same error, i have tried everything here and i have one question (might be a stupid question) but my root sd folder is called SD/, not SDCard/ ...is this a path error?
Please note it file must be in the internal card, not the SD card.
This step drove me nuts.
"2. Copy the update.zip (and the ROM) to the INTERNAL SD (not the external SD Card). sdcard/ " (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732458)
i ran into the same problem...how do i get from 3e to CWR?
here's what's shown in my vibrant directory: Android, DCIM, external_sd, LOST.DIR
i dont have an internal sd (the card) so it's not shown?
the path i got error on: /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip
1. when i tried to "reinstall packages" i keep getting the error that the update.zip file cant be found. should i create a folder for it or something? i think it's a matter of pathing but i cant find out the right place to put the file...(to get from 3e to CWR)
2. i see people suggesting boot with odin or sth like that...does that solve my problem and how do i do that?

You definitely have an internal sd card. Use Astro file manager or something similar and put update.zip on the root of internal sd card, meaning not in a folder. It should look like sdcard/update.zip. If you are having the 3e mismatch recovery issue read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423

i go to the link that you linked and ran the script. then i download the update.zip file at the noob guide with a slimbean 4.2.2 rom and addons. this time i would just put it in the root folder (technically not in any folder). when i try to reinstall packages, the screen shows that it is "replacing stock recovery with clock work recovery"... but then it would go back to the 3e.
so...i guess putting the files in the root folder is correct. but someone it still wont let me get tot CWR...

You have to reinstall packages twice for it to work properly. It is normal to not work the first time, just reinstall packages again and you should be good to go. If you keep having issues you should just flash back to stock 2.1 with Odin and go from there.

Here's the situation. I moved touchwiz launcer and odex to the root from system apps bc it kept launching even though I had an alternative home app. Didn't delete so if any probs. could restore. Phone was much better until reboot when I got an acore fc message that kept popping up,ok, restore touchwiz,not there anymore,I have no idea why.So I go to do a clockwork restore of my nandroid image, go to the file with the correct date in recovery,no data.Now I have phone that boots,boots into recovery,lock screen but a black screen on unlock,keys light up, notification shade works, dialer and phone work but that's it. So I mounted the phone to my PC. it recognizes the device, phone asks,mass storage,mount all ok. shows 12gig drive, so I try to push a rom by dragging and dropping but again in clockwork recov. it only shows all the folders present not the zips on the root. Now all this is user error on my part,I know I did something wrong, so you live and learn, but i really need some advice here. Beer for anyone who can talk me through this. I'm not proficient on adb. because I never had to use it so be gentle.
do you know how to restore through odin?
Are you booting into CW recovery? or are you trying to load rom from rom manager?
If you are booting in CW you should not see any files. You should choosing the zip file.

I am booting into the recovery menu, when I choose install packeges it takes me to the green CW recovery menu, I choose install zip from sd and it shows me the folders,but not the packages I want to flash. Am i doing something incorrectly?
That is the correct steps. Which rom are you trying to flash?
When in CW press " install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sd card" the scroll down the rom and install.
Mr
First,thanks for the help! Let me try again. When I choose install zip from sd,then choose zip I am only seeing the folders, not any of the zips.When I choose the nandroid i made it shows the date of the image made but when i choose it it says no data. I am trying to flash fusion, but Id settle for the stock image which should be in there too which i can see from the drive when mounted on my PC. but not when in CW recovery.
ok man its time to flash from odin, its so simple. need help?
You don't put the update.zip on the sd card, you put it in the root directory of the phones onboard memory (so often mistakenly called the internal sd card).
Do that and try again...made the mistake myself so's I know all about it.

It'll see it, it just won't be able to install from it.

Thats what I was afraid of. Im dl'ing it now, I think the slowest file host in history. I appreciate the hand hold offer, I may need it lol.
Ok, I have downloaded Odin through the all in one zip. I have watched some vids so I think Im comfortable using it,but I have a couple of questions I couldnt find answers to. Do you need to unzip anything from the all in one or just run Odin through the exe? The drivers are in that pack do i need to do anything further to install them?
Mr
Ok. My phone was acting like Loki, I learned to use Odin, and now I feel like Thor. It feels great to have a sure fire way to recover in all eventualities minus hardware damage. Hopefully my Titanium backup wasn't wiped. If any noobs want a walk-through for reflashing through Odin, shoot me a PM or post on this thread and I'll try to point you in the right direction. Now on to Fusion....
Hello, I'm learning java in order to be an android developer, but I'm still new to this world.
When I'm trying to reboot into the clockwork recovery from the ROM Manager,
after I'm pressing "reinstall packages",it tells in red:
"
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

What is that missing "Update" file, and where or how can I get it?

Is your phone rooted yet? ROM manager isn't of much use unless your phone is rooted. To root your phone, if you are running 2.1, google search for "one click root vibrant" and click on the first link and follow the instructions and download the program. Good luck.

Yes, my phone is already rotted by the app "superuser permission".
I have the same problem
and I notice when my phone is connected to my computer my phone's internal storage is labeled "G" and the external SD card is labeled "F"
I was thinking the problem had something to do with the labels. When it fails initially, I can hit the home button and it seems to boot into recovery but then, when I tried to do a backup I also got a failure.
I don't have an external SD card...

the update.zip file is either the ROOT file you download and place on the internal card to gain root access through stock recovery.
it happened to me once... i had the update. zip file and deleted it.. i guess it was the root file.. so re downloaded it and put it back on the sd card and reinstalled pkgs and it was good.. try finding the root file and putting it back on your sd card
if you are looking for the cwm recovery update.zip I uploaded it, its in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893824
but you should be able to just get it from rom manager, but whatever if it isn't working, you can get the update.zip from above.
that isn't the update.zip to root your phone, thats to get into cwm recovery.
In the rom manager app, tell it to flash cwr. And the tell it to reboot into recovery. Select reinstall packages, may need to choose that twice before it takes.

I'm having an issue flashing a ROM via the sdcard zip file option.
I have (afaik) successfully installed CWM. Had an issue at first with it rebooting every 30 secs but reflashed the kernel and now it seems to work ok. However, when I try to flash a rom and go to the sdcard zip file option, it'll list several folders but not the ROM I want to flash. I have put the ROM on the sdcard in no folders (root folder) and am really at a loss.
I apologize in advance for any n00bish ways. I went through 2 cycles on iOS devices and decide to forgo the jailbreak cat and mouse chase and go android. I haven't regretted it yet. But I could really you some advice on this problem. Really looking forward to getting my phone rooted.
Much Love in Advance

All I know to say is if you put a .zip file on the sdcard you should be able to see it from cwm recovery. When you boot the phone normally can you see the file in file manager?
Which ROM are you trying?
And are you putting the file on the phones internal sdcard or an external sdcard?

I was trying the unnamed ROM -- I just have it on the sdcard in the phone. I see it fine when I plug it in and look at it through windows. What file manager are you referring to?
I have to go to work but later on tonight I'll probably try reflashing CWM and see if that helps.

Any file manager will do, there its one app named "My Files" that came with the phone. If you can see the file from that file manager you should be able to see it in cwm recovery.

My Galaxy S2 has been rooted for about 2 months now and has been running on the Lightening ROM no problem, but last night when i tried to install a new ROM through CWM it wouldn't let me. I tried to install Villianrom and Cyanogen mod and both failed. Both ROM s were shown on my SD card as zip files and when i tried to move them they failed to get a signature and now when i boot into CWM neither of the ROM s show anywhere it just says NO FILES FOUND. Luckily i had a titanium backup of my Lightening ROM that i could revert to but i am puzzled as to why these ROM s wont install.
Any help would be appreciated
You are not supposed to extract them. They are supposed to be left as "zip" files.
They are getting left as zip files. All i do is download the RAR file and drag it onto sd card and there is nothing showing on the sd card i done all the necessary wipes and then when i try to select a rom off sd card this is what i get:
Android/ Attachments/ DCIM/ Download/ GOLauncherEX/ Galaxy_S_Unlock/ GoStore/ LOST.DIR/ ScreenCapture/ ShareViaWifi/ Sounds/ TitaniumBackup/ Wallpapers/ WhatsApp/ bluetooth/ burstlyImageCache/ clockworkmod/ data/ external_sd/ media/ openfeint/ samsungapps/ usbstorage/ zedge/ update.zip

Hi just to let you know phone is now rooted and has villianrom installed without a glitch. Dont know what the problem was but seems to have fixed itself now.

I also had this issue early when I got my sgs2. Here is how I fixed it. I used the "unbrick" method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
So flash the package in pda that contains stock kernel and rooted rom or stock rom doesn't matter, then flash the code works kernel that contains cwm again, then you can boot into cwm and flash roms again. Not sure what the root of the issue was, I just know that this fixed my problem. Make sure that if you are flashing via cwm your are installing a .zip and not a .tar or other extension as the .tar are for odin. Let me know if this doesn't fix your problem I'll be happy to help dig a little deeper although I would bet that this will fix it
Edit: looks like you got it working while I was writing this

Hi just a quick question. When i install new firmware should i have to back out and reboot system once install complete or should the phone do it by itself??
Hi people. I've been browsing a lot lately and Reading about roms, kernel, and other stuff related to customization of Android devices. I consider myself enough tech-savvy to understand technical things about hardware on this devices but when it comes to all the thing related to flashing roms and kernels and related things i have no clue of what you're talking about, lol.
However, I'm really interested on "installing" Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Player 4 just to see what happens and how flashing roms feels like, so i can try different roms later and enhance my device. But no matter how hard I try to find a tutorial about how to begin from total stock (as the device comes from the store) haven't been lucky finding one. As far as I know the first step is flashing a new kernet with CWM, so then i can flash the roms. But I'm stuck on Step One :s
So, if there's a link you can post here to help begin with this flashing trend it'd be great. Or if you can redact a "custom" tutorial for me, a total programming noob but interested as hell about modifying my GP4 that would be a thousand times better.
Also, feel free to recommend me kernels or roms or whatever you feel i could use
Thanks!!!

I just finished doing this exact thing myself, so its fresh in my mind First, BACK UP!! there are different methods with varying degrees of how much they back up, search the forum for them. Definitely backup the efs. Instructions are in the first post for the CM10 ROM. Then, I began by flashing a custom kernel using Odin. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the Tips and Tricks section of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27615927
Kernels can also be found in the appropriate section of that post. Make sure you get one for your device. All of them include CWM (ClockworkMod) which is what you need to easily flash a full ROM. The kernel won't actually effect your current operating system accept to maybe improve performance.
Next, download the ROM file(s) onto your device. ROMs are also in the above post. Again, make sure you get one for your device. Read the instructions in the ROM thread on how exactly to flash them, but the general procedure is to boot into CWM by holding some set of buttons during start up (probably power + volume up) and navigate the CWM menu to flash the ROM.

That's because you're suppose to flash it via CWM. If it's a tar file, you flash it via Odin. And you're not suppose to extract it, lol.

PDA is the one, I believe.
Is Terra Silent compatible with CM10??? Reading the thread of Terra Silent a user made a comment on this asking the developer (i guess) to make Terra Silent compatible with CM10.... :s
ok now i have some problems...
got to flash the Terra Silent Kernel. After rebooting everything was ok. Installed Rom Manager in order to install CWM. Rom Manager installed CMW and then came back to main menu. There was an option for creating a copy of the stock rom, thought it wolud be a good idea to make a copy. When i did it, phone went black and then reboted. after rebooting came back to the lock screen but changed language (spanish -> english). Algo noticed there was missing the google search bar. When entered to the apps menu there were a lot of icons of the android robot with an SD card symbol over. When clicked them it says that the apps are not installed on the system.
installed rom manager again, and went to recovery boot. flashed both cm9 and cm 10 included in the cm 10 thread. Now my playr is stuck in the recovery screen...
what do i do?

How can i fix this?

You internal SD card is probably switched for the external.
Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

Wait, before doing any changes like this, have you tried on going mnt/emmc or storage/sdcard1? @TheKryptonite he have a 4.0 and the sdcard is working without changing the paths.

I did this change, switched numbers and now i can see the files on the sd card. Only that before flashing CM 10 the access to the sd card was through a folder calles "externa sd", now the sd card files and folders are scattered on the home screen of any file explorer i acess the sd card with. It's not a big ideal but i dont like it.
When i edited the file you told me there was a 1 after where now says sdcard 1. Shoud that number be erased or better keep it?
