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!

Problem after problem, lol....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.'
Then the apply sdcard:update.zip one says
'E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
What do I do? :/ And I don't think the internal card is the problem.
More than likely the external card this time. Run the checklist in the post linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15860004&postcount=376
Did you rename the file to update.zip before you put it on? If not you might need to do the chose option to find the one named StreakDroid1_9_1_update.zip or something like that.
I did. Doesn't work.
The file may also be corrupt... download it again and start over
Nice thought but it isn't a corrupt file. I've tried to flash several different roms. Don't work. Also, a few programs won't work. Programs that I think are on the internal. Such as fb app. Also, saving files sometimes fails...Idk...
Just checking, you did put the rom on the root of the SD card and rename it to update.zip? I always use the option to select the file manually...

Put it this way....Flashing worked 2 weeks ago. And I'm not doing -anything- differently than I was before.

Sorry Eikiel, didn't realize I posted the same suggestion as you

The only supposed fix I could find is to take out the internal microsd and put it back in...Supposedly, it's not seated right... I really don't want to take it apart, though...
Hey everyone longtime since I've done this kinda thing but i'm a bit stuck
heres what im using
Galaxy SII
Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3
Android version 2.3.4
ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2
I've downloaded: update-cm-9-20120305-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip
I renamed it to update.zip and its on my SD card
When I try to run it I get
"Install from sd card
Finding update
opening update
E:Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted."
Do I need to wipe the phone? Or get to OS 3 and then go to 4?
Thanks for the help
its been about 3 years since I used android, but i'm back!
fixed it. Formatted sd card first durrrr
Formatting didn't fix
I'm getting the same error under the same conditions.
Formatted the SD card as per your suggestion. Used Clockwork to perform the format just to make sure, and put update.zip back on it. (Noticed the format was FAT32.)
Still getting
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)

Am I going crazy?
I think I'm doing everything else right. See the steps I'm taking.
If you're trying to flash a CM9 nightly, do not rename the file. Go into recovery and:-
1) Install zip from sdcard
2) Choose zip from sdcard (or choose zip from internal sdcard depending on where you have the CM9 nightly you're wanting to flash located).
3) Navigate to the folder where the file you want to flash is.
4) Choose the file
5) Confirm install; "Yes"
6) Reboot & done
Do not use "Apply /sdard/update.zip
I put a different sd card in and transferred all files from previous memory card. I noticed that my sdcard/nandroid folder with all my backups were deleted. I create a new one but whenever I go into recovery, it disappears. I try to make a backup and it gives me an error. It cannot locate the sdcard folder. Any ideas on why the nandroid folder is disappearing and how can I relink the sdcard folder in amon with the new card?
if I put the old card in, it backups fine.
From the topic about the recovery..
Always check recovery.log before posting your issues! You can do this by doing :
"cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue. Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.

thanks. I should have mentioned that there is no recovery log created in any of the folders as I checked beforehand. I tried moving it to the sd card but still nothing.
Can't think of what would be wrong... perhaps, trying flashing the recovery again. That would force it to setup the directory correctly..
Is the card formatted fat32?

yup. this time i formatted the card from the phone in settings but again, once I remove the phone from the pc, it deletes the nandroid folder. very odd. I just recreated it in es explorer, rebooted into recovery and the backup is running now. wierd. hopefully it sticks.
reflashed amon and i can make a backup but now it won't flash any zips. Tried a few roms in case it was a bad file but no luck. finally got a log file too this time. (attached) also tried to flash from the phone storage and it won't work. any ideas?
Don't really know what this means but it looks like where the problem is...
Install from internal_sdcard...
Finding update package...
I:Update location: INTERNALSD:Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v2.2.zip
Opening update package...
I:Update file path: /internal_sdcard/Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v2.2.zip
E:Can't open /internal_sdcard/Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v2.2.zip
(bad)
That was when I tried flashing from the phone storage. Got the same error from flashing from the sdcard.

Have you tried other zips or just this one since you reflashed? If just this one, did you check the md5 after downloading? Seems this may be a bad file if it can't be opened.
I had an issue with it not reading my external card once when flashing a ROM but it specifically said it couldn't read my external card. So I would guess it's the fie you are trying to flash.
Hello everybody,
I've been wasting a lot of hours for finding a solution of the "BAD ZIP" error.
Googled everything i can think about, and got a simple solution.
I found people telling to format the sdcard, fat32 etc... I do not want to format 8 Gigas... So keep searching:
The problem:
Code:
--Install: /emmc/[COLOR="Red"]XXX[/COLOR].zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /emmc/[COLOR="red"]XXX[/COLOR].zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted
The solution:
First of all, it does not matter how many times you download the zip. The zip is corrupted. Even though the Winrar (Or any other program you use) does not warning you.
***Ok... So there are 1M ppls who downloaded and install the zip without any problem... Why only me?!*** Do the next:
Download the zip directly to your sdcard. (You can download through the phone's browser, or in the computer, "Save As..." and choose the sdcard directory.)
Reboot into recovery -> Wipe Wipe Wipe... -> install zip from sdcard.
Should work!
In addition:
If still does not work, here are some things i've found:
* Turn off USB DEBUGGING.
* Format your sd card
* Move files from computer to phone with adb.
Hope you will find this thread helpful! >

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...
