G tab is rooted and trying to install cyanogen mod 7 when I select the file on the micro sd card it states file not found. When I use the Clockwork recovery mode and select "install zip from sdcard" the select "choose zip from sdcard" it doesn't find the file and goes right back to stall zip from sdcard"
Have you tried to install it from internal SDcard?
Internal sd?

Didn't need the dummies link just had to clear the cobwebs from my head. Finally fixed and running like a lion.

I've tried flashing 2 different roms now, and neither one will install properly via clockwork recovery.
When in recovery, and I try to select .zip from SD, the file isn't there.
When I go into rom manager and select "install rom from sd", the installation fails.
What am I doing wrong?
Are you downloading it to your pc and then moving it to your phone?
You are NOT renaming it are you?
What folder are you putting it in? Should be sdcard/ (and not in a a folder... the root of your internal)... likely you are not here because it would show up near the bottom of the list in CWR choose zip option.
Figured it out. I was putting them on the external SD.
Called it
I was using Vegan then decided to get gingerbread.
Issues
1. I downloaded the new ROM and placed it into the root and made sure it transfered then I powered down.
2. I did not get this option Using the volume keys to navigate up/down in the menu highlight "Apply Internal update.zip" if you copied the update.zip to the internal memory or "Apply External SDCard update.zip" . the only option I have is "apply sdcard:update.zip. Is the the correct on? When I select it and then do yes i get. ( no such file or directory)" Instalation aborted". So, then I go to install zip for sdcard, choose zip, and then yes. Then reboot and then it boots into stock. Tnt works
3. I then install CMW and it works.
4. I follow steps to install ROM form http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
5. after install i do not get “install zip from sdcard complete” my say " install form sd card complete. Does this matter
6. I did not have these problem when I orgicanlly put on Vegan, now I cants even get Vegan. It say Vegan is installed, then i reboot and stuck at 3 birds again.
I am having the same issue no matter what ROM I try.
PLEASE HELP, I AM ONLY ABLE TO USE THE STUPID STOCK AND IT IS POINTLESS TO HAVE A GTABLE TO USE STOCK
I have no idea whether this will help you or not, but when I booted up my tab last night it was stuck on the three birds. I had to boot into recovery and do wipe user data/factory reset to fix it.
I am not using cwm or vegan...so again, this may not help your situation.
Hello all, I am a noob. I tried to install my first rom, OpenOptimus 1.48, from this tread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653
I followed the instructions, wich said to get the file on the sd card then partition the card, then I get my phone able to boot in colckworkmod recovery but nothing else, file not found for install the rom because the partition is formated.. We are c urrently 2 noobs that this happened at the end of the posts on that tread.
So this is a kind of catch-22, now the compuiter wont recognize the usb, wich is the best method to get it working again now ? I am currently trying to get adb, if someone knows the treads to look for I'll be happy.
Thanks from Canada
Eh, the instructions do not say any such thing like to put something on SD card and then format/partition it. Anyway,
Either download the SDK, connect the phone via USB cable and do
Code:
adb push openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip /sdcard/openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip
and flash it from recovery like the instructions say,
or simply remove the SD card from phone and use a card reader to copy it there in PC.
Just mount usb storage from recovery and connect it to pc. The card will be recognized and then copy the zip file.

at the first page, instructions looks like that :
"
4.Go to Advanced>Partition SD Card
512 EXT(Do not create it if you do not want a2sd)
0 Swap
Remainder FAT32
5.Go into the main recovery menu and select "wipe data/factory reset"
6.Go to Mounts and storage>format /system
7.Go into the main recovery menu and select "install zip from sdcard"
8.Select "choose zip from sdcard"
"
So then I got the file on , then formated, so no more recovery . I have clockworkmod 3.1.0.0 installed.
I am trying to get ADB working, will try that. But looking at the instructions, is it me that is not understanding them well enough or are they written strangely ?
Thanks ;-)

Yes, the instructions do say that, but instead of blindly following them you should have realized that after partitioning the sd card all data would be deleted.
Anyway, the way to do this is after partitioning, select mount usb storage in recovery and connect it to ur pc(while still in recovery). The card will be recognized and you can copy the zip file. Then you can flash the zip.

I assumed he already tried that and it did not work (b/c of the "now the compuiter wont recognize the usb" part of the OP). Anyway, if not, then that is obviously the most easy way to get the file there.
Man I think your stock rom should still be working. Reboot and it should boot into your previous rom. And USB should work. Even in recovery u can mount sdcard.

I got a sd-adapter...
Well, no usb-mount while in recovery, adb is complicated to install and so I went to the store and got a micro-sd adapter and a new card with more capacity. Then no more complication to install the rom to the card & phone..
Thanks folks
i only see update zip in recovery mode, i don't see install zip . what happened with my note?
In CWM, you should see a "Install zip from SD Card". On the next screen, pick "Choose zip from sdcard" if it is on your external card, or "Choose Zip form Internal sdcard" if you copied it directly on your phone.

this is my problem, i did exactly the same root instruction of other post, but i got this. is it normal? because i don't see install rom from zip
Ah thanks for the picture, that helps. You don't have the fully featured ClockworkMod recovery. You can find out how to install that in the dev section:

Do the following:
1. Obtain root, see item 1 in my signature and flash the latest CF-Root
2. Make a CWM backup after the phone rebooted
3. Download ARHD 7.0.0 and place it on the external sd card, copy importants folders/files from the internal sdcard to the external sd card.
4. In CWM: do a data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, in mounts and storage format system, cache and data.
5. Flash ARHD and choose full wipe and backup efs in Aroma, install the rom and tweaks you want and install.
6. Reboot and you`re done
