You have to "Install Zip from SD card"... then use the menus to navigate to where you stored it.
no such line on cwm 0630-1029
I do not have that option it was on the old cwm but cant seem to find in on the new one? only have update zip wipe cach and reset
You need to update to the newer CWM. If you haven't unlocked you can get it in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143&highlight=cmw+recovery
If you've already unlocked you'd want the latest/greatest available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541&highlight=cmw+recovery
I have the newest installed from 6/30

No option list to choose zip from sd card is listed

Try renaming it to update.zip, because when you choose get to apply update its searching for a file named update.zip.
Plus the new CWM supports internal SD card.
Fixed Thank You
I had to reflash 2 in order to bring all the options up.

hey guys can you guys help me install this rom on my phone its aready rooted Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 gingerbread clone... please!!!
download
move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

I have heard this over and over. I only have one question that I could not find anywhere. Do you need to rename the "Ginger_Clone_Final_R2.zip" to update.zip? Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

I can get into rcovery but I don't have the option to install from sd or make a backup. The options that I have are reboot, install packages, clear cache and there is on more I can't remember I don't have the phone with me. Install packages dies nothing but show that it can't find any update zip files. I think its not recognizeing my sd card. I have pics and music on my sd card and it works fine so I don't know what's going on.

Sounds like stock recovery. Did you download rom manager? Did you flash cwm recovery. If so reboot into recovery through rom manager
download ROM Manager, and click the first option, its like flash clockwork recovery, choose your device, and then it'll finish, then try going back there, and it should be in GREEN or something

Please put your questions to: Vibrant Q&A
I've done all of that. That's how I get in recovery. And its green writing. The weird thing is that I've been able to flash some roms before then I end up wanting to do something else so I use my backup and go back to stock. I did have some problems with the backup that I did and had to use odin to fix it. I then relized that I did not odin the update j16 file so I then did that. I've got the nero rom ready to go just can't get to the right recovery. I do have the clockwork recovery that I got with the rom manager.

Is there an "advanced" option?? If so go to that then you should see reboot recovery. Then you should see the install from SD card option. Also, try mounting your SD card to the computer. And try pulling out your battery while phone is still powered on.

If you are going into stock recovery after flashing CW Recovery from ROM Manager, you need to select "reinstall packages" in stock recovery (it may need to be selected twice). Then you'll go into CWM.
Also, don't delete the "update.zip" file on the root of your sd card...that's the CWM file, which is what is installing when you select reinstall packages.

How do I get the update zip back

I think my problem is with the update zip. I downloaded the new nero b4 and when I look in my files I see it but I can't open or do anything with it. But if I look in astro I see it and I can do something with it. So its something to do with the file app. Its changing it to something that I can't do anything with. I go into recovery and reianstall packages and it looks like its working but then says aborted.

Download titanium backup free/pro, menu, more, create update.zip
Remove the old one before doing this.
Then flash clockwork recovery through rom manager, then try it

Go into ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." That will put the update.zip file back on your sdcard.
It worked thank you guys.

So i keep on getting this error when i'm trying to flash clockwork recovery. I'm on stock btw.
"Error while download from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space!"
I have a stable connection and my SD card is fine. So can anyone lend me the update.zip of the clockwork recovery?
found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893824
geez. Thanks man!
I had the same problem and installed the update.zip as per the instructions, but ROM manager will not detect that Clockwork recovery is installed and will not let me install a ROM. What can be done in this case? Clockwork recovery is correctly installed and works when I go into recovery mode. I am on stock Eclair 2.1.29 JFD.
If you can get to recovery by normal means you can flash any rom you want aslong as that update has been installed. Thats what I did. btw rom mananger was down thats why it was acting funny.
I see. So I can just boot into Clockwork Recovery and select "Install from zip" and that will start the ROM installation?
Thanks.
Once that update.zip has been installed It should take you to the green clockwork mod recovery.
You can then find the option that says install zip from sd. It will let you pick any zip file
For instance I Have bionix v.zip on my sd card in a folder called zip. I will navigate to that folder and select that zip file then confirm the flash.
Awesome! Thanks man, got it to work too! Was freaking out last night haha.
I was also. Just a quick note If you keep that zip file on the root of your internal sd card You can always flash that and it will give you access to the green recovery menu. I do that Now instead of installing the root update. Then I can automatically flash any rom I want.
Yeah, problem is I got wiped so my files and I didn't backed up that .zip. I thought there was something wrong with my phone.

Esp since Clockwork Recovery Mod doesn't seem to download anything no more...
Hi,
Im on 2.1 .435 roooted with busybox installed.
i downloaded a CM7.0.0-RC1-3.ZIP (74MB) from a link followed on this forum.
I created a folder called "xrecovery" and "backup" on SD card
I went into xrecovery menu and made a backup
I then did a factory wipe, wiped cache partition,wiped Dalvik cache, wiped battery stats.
I then chose to install custom ROM from SD Card (this is where the problem arose), after selecting the CM7 ROM ZIP folder, i selecting install.
A few seconds later i get an error message saying installation aborted ,"ERROR E:SD CARD/(then gives the location of the cm7.zip file in sd card)
could i have downloaded the wrong CM7.ZIP file? or did i put the CM7.zip file on the wrong place on the SD Card? the error occurs when custom zip file is installing.
Pls advice.
Unzip your file and there you have update.zip this is the one you should flash in recovery, then reboot and then flash gapps.
P.s wrong forum section!

oh geeezzz,
will check the threads...thanx
Closed as not dev.
I get some directory error that I can't copy and paste, but it has to do with the sdcard folder.
I wiped cache/dalvik before trying to install via clockwork 4.0.0.4.
Anyone have an idea what the issue is?
Many thanks, and happy browsing.

Just giving a quick bump because I still cant get this to work.
Do I need to factory reset as well? If so, this is new to me, and I think it may be wise to include these details in the Kernel thread, as not everyone is 100% on these sorts of things.
Many thanks.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
So when you boot into CWM recovery do you see the kernel .zip on your sd card?
Steps for installing pershoot's kernel.
Place file in root of SD card
Boot into CWM Recovery
select install zip from SD
choose kernel zip file
select yes
reboot
No need to wipe anything, should be a quick boot up.
