I'm trying to install CWM for the first time using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
And when I get to this part:
7: When your phone boots..
- Enable USB file copying from the drop-down menu
- Copy the update.zip file from the CWM zip to the root of your SD card (the shared drive of your phone)
I can't go any further because there's no zip file attached to the post, even though the post states there is.
Can someone point me in the right direction of where I can find the update.zip file to flash in samsung recovery? Thanks.
Just to add some additional info, when I tried to do it straight from ROM Manager I get a signature verification failed error, and the install is aborted.
You can't do it by a zip, you have to download superuser.zip to your SD card, then Odin in cwr. Boot into certain, install superuser.zip make sure signature verification is off. Good to go. If you need the files go to fascinate general, my post, unbrick your fascinate, its towards the bottom in an edit.

Hi. Thanks for the help.
I don't understand what you mean by "Boot into certain". Could you clarify? Or someone else? Thanks guys. (I'm the OP's friend that's helping him root).

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.

1. if any doubts of a corrupted file, re-download the nero-5 file
2. place the nero-5 file (no need to rename) on your /sdcard directory
3. go to ROM Manager, select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and select Vibrant
4. select Install ROM from SD card and point to the nero-5 file
5. Ok out and let it reboot and do its thing. If it's not executing automatically, you may have to select Reinstall Packages in Recovery Mode.

no you dont need a external card. it goes on root internal sd card
OP, have you checked the noob guide in my signature? It may really help explain the process, and provide any files needed.
If for whatever reason you still dont understand after reading the noobguide you may also wanna pop over to youtube and check out videos from mobiletechvideos they give a good visual to go along with the the noon guide.
On youtube search mobiletechvideos vibrant and a whole bunch of videos will pop up but first read the noon guide or you likely wont understand fully what is going on in the videos.

So I'm trying to install cyanogen rom on my lg optimus t and did everything i thought i was supposed to. PArtitioned the SD card and created folder 'AAA' where I placed the rom zxip file, per the attached instructions i was following. Wiped appropriate data and even did a backup via system recovery menu. However, when i went to flash the rom via the system recovery menu, I get E:no zip files found. I can't do a NAND restore either. I pretty certain that the zip file is on the sd card in the zip folder but can't get to it for some reason. Any body got any ideas? phone won't reboot either, stuck at the android splash screen.
Here's the instructions I was following //lgp500.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/gingerbread-cyanogenmod7-rc1-rjtchn-installation-guide/
you'll need to add the http prefix since forum policy won't let me post a link as a new user with less than 8 posts. Thanks.

Sigh. Did you copy the file before you partitioned the card? If yes, then you should have realised that the partitioning process will wipe all data on the sd card. Connect the phone to a computer and copy the zip file again.
yes the last thing i did was to copy the zip file the folder i created after partitioning. the folder was created on the fat32 part of the card. unfortunately, when i toggle the USB mass storage from the recovery menu, the drive doesn't show up on my computer. The phone won't start up now and so I can toggle it through the OS either. Is there some way to get the drive to show up when toggling the USB -MS through the recovery menu?
Possibly there were some errors when copying. If you have a card reader then try connecting the card to the computer through it. Else try partitioning again thorugh recovery, then see if the drive shows on the computer.
so i got the rom flashed and seems to be working but i'm not seeing the notification bar. anybody had this issue with cyanogenmod7-rc1?
Hem as far as getting your PC to recognize your phone when it
Plugged in the USB its prolly do to a lack of phone drivers. Don't know if the would be in the android sdk. Found allmy HTC phone drivers with it. And as far as the status bar h should be able able to change font colors St inthe cyanogenmod options under settings. Hope this helps some

Once I got a card reader and moved the zip files out of the folder I created and into the root directory of the card the phone saw them fine and was able flash the rom.

If you have installed CWM (which you really should as this is your pathway to all the modding and custom roms).
Then you can flash via CWM this tiny root package.

Do not install the one off the market, it can't wipe data properly, doesn't support external SD card and might have other bugs.
Use the lastest CWM from here:

Which would be : latest: recovery-en-goapk-0625-2034.zip
Use instructions from here, they are very straightforward:

The instructions you need start with "INSTALL CWM RECOVERY:"
installing CWM needs root?!
step 3:
3) Use *Root Explorer* or some other file explorer app to navigate to: /system/etc. Look and see if there is a file there named "install_recovery.sh" If it is there, then delete it. If it is not, then you are ok to proceed to the next step

For now, you can just navigate to that folder and check if "install_recovery.sh" is there. If it's not there, then you don't need to do this step.

The Root explorer app bypasses non rooted phones. Don't worry I thought the same thing you did. Just buy the app. Its worth it anyways.
