I have tried finding the answer to this problem all over and haven't found anything. I've seen the question asked but no answers. I have unlocked my bootloader and installed CWM just fine. When I got to flash Gingerbread and select install from sd I get this:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I'd very much appreciate any help. Thanks!

Yeah I had selected install zip from sd. I had already watched your videos to make sure I was doing everything right, so thanks for making those! The strange this is that I was able to flash Cherrblur with no problem at all.

Can anyone explain to me why I keep getting this when I'm trying to flash a new rom?
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
That's what it says when I try to install anything with clockworkmod. I have followed all directions on NVFlashing and I have followed all directions on wiping my gTab clean and partitioning from 4096 back to 2048 and basically formatting it. I have downloaded about 3-4 roms, I have used different browsers to download them, they all cannot be corrupt can they? The Flashback 7.2 zip file I used a few days back (and worked) gives me the same problem. So I do not know what I did to neuter this baby of mine, I wish I did so I could undo it. I thought NVFlash could fix any thing?
I can boot up to stock 1.2 but really, I cannot go back to that after tasting all these roms starting with vegan ginger and than to 5.1 and most recently to Flashback. What really is the point in trying to NVFlash over and over if it is going to give me the same crappy Installation aborted message? I have tried both bootloaders, and none of the roms will flash. I love the gTab, but I guess I Frankensteined it too often and killed off it's heart. If anyone has an answer, I am dying to hear you out. Even if you want to call me a moron, I can appreciate it for the fact that you guys read all this. Thanks for reading, and any answers you guys may have I thank thee in advance.

Q. Do you have CWM installed? If yes, have you tried the "install zip from sdcard" option in CWM which lets you choose the zip file you want to install?
Here's what I recommend if you're on stock ROM with CWM installed:
0. Remove external SD cards if present.
1. Repartition the internal SD card (2048/0).
2. Copy the update.zip somewhere onto the internal SD card. (This zip file need not be called update.zip or be in the root directory of the SD card. It can be anywhere.)
3. Do "wipe data/factory reset". Almost a mandatory step when switching ROMs.
4. Select the "install zip from sdcard" (instead of the "apply update from sdcard" menu item) menu option, navigate to where the zip file is stored and then install it.
5. If the installation fails, attach the USB cable to the gTablet, then get me a dmesg output and the recovery.log file(s) using adb:
Code:
C:\> [B]adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]
C:\> [B]adb pull /cache/recovery.log recovery1.txt[/B]
C:\> [B]adb pull /tmp/recovery.log recovery2.txt[/B]
If all else fails there's a reset button on the main board, lol im not sure what it does exactly, so only try it if its a last resort Good luck!
I want to run GingerStreak, but my phone will not let me fllash -any- roms. I'm stuck on 1.9. Can anyone help me? And to be more clear, I used to be able to flash roms, but now I get an error. Even if I change the name to update.zip.
We need more information. What recovery are you running? What rom are you trying to flash? What is the error?

I have StreakDroid 1.9.0 on my phone...And I was trying to update to 1.9.1. Got the rom on there. Got into recovery. When I hit 'apply sdcard:update.zip, I see the yes, it says 'Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip'...I click it, and it says
'Installing: SDCARD:update.zip
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.'
Have you tried reflashing your recovery? Grab the latest version of MultiRecoveryFlasher and give that a shot.

Suggestion:
If you are sure you have StreakMod Recovery installed:
Remove you current SD Card
Install another SD Card
Format the card while in the Streak (you will lose any files on the SD Card)
Put the ROM files on it and attempt the upgrade
OR
Remove your sd card.
backup everything on it somewhere
put sd card back in Streak
Format the card (you will lose all files)
Put the files you need to flash ROM on the SD card and attempt upgrade
What ever ROM you install do a factory reset from the first Revovery page.
Copy the files you need back to the Sd Card.
Like I said, I was able to fllash roms before. Yes, I'm sure I have Clockwork on it.
I suggest that you use StreakMod Recovery instead and that you check your SD card as I wrote in my previous post.
It sometimes happens randomly, try powering the device off for a bit and repeating.
If it doesnt work after several tries then try the above, if it doesnt work with a diff card it might be a hardware issue in something, likely the streak
Yeah, it hasn't worked for months. So, I really Don't know.
Yes try updating recovery
Thanks to the help of Lordmorphous, I figured it out. My internal SD card had come unseated slightly. So, I cut off the plastic above the internal sd card, and reseated it.
Hi maybe some one can explain to me where it go's wrong over here and what i can do about it.

Ok i will re-install it again with the latest versions and see whats happening:good:
Because it dos this with all the zip files makes no different which one i try to install it gives the same answer over and over.
Ok problem solved i had a bad external sd-card that caused all the problem i put a other 1 and now everything installs and works like a charm:good:
I've been having this exact same problem today, but the ROMS are on my internal SD card. Tried 3 different roms, same error message!
Yeah in some kind of way when i put a other external sd-card the problem was solved, but it can be that you also have some corrupted files downloaded maybe if you download them again its ok.
And some files will only install from a external sd-card because thats automatic mounted and a internal not but don't hang me up on that i am not a specialist in these kind of things.
********************************This issue has been fixed by updating TWRP via fastboot.*********************************************
I was working on flashing a new rom on my tf201. I wiped internal storage assuming that I would be able to access my external SD but I cannot. When I select external SD, it immediately switches back to internal. I have used adb to push 3 different roms onto the internal storage /. I am recieving the same error when trying to install either of the 3 roms. Here is what I am getting:
-- Install /cm-10-20120818-NIGHTLY-tf201.zip ...
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [/cm-10-20120818-NIGHTLY-tf201.zip]
E:Can't mount /cm-10-20120818-NIGHTLY-tf201.zip
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes...
Error flashing zip '/cm-10-20120818-NIGHTLY-tf201.zip'
Can someone advise me on what I should do please?
anyone?

try pushing rom to some folder ie /sdcard/roms and flashing from there
The latest twrp is 2.1.4, I would suggest upgrading to that first then try again....if I am not mistaken, there have been a few problems with the earlier version.

That was it! Once I fastbooted the twrp.blob and rebooted I had access to my external SD and my backups. Thanks!

You need to select install zip from sdcard. If you select install update, it will look in your sdcard for update.zip and ignore everything else. If it doesn't find something labelled update.zip, it throws the error your linked.

The only options in the recovery mode are:
reboot now
install update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Whenever I install any .zip files by "install update from sd card" , it shows E: signature verification failed
So , any other solutions? By The Way, thanks buddy...
