Hi Guys
Well I rooted my HTC DHD today and when I go to recovery and try to install Update.zip it tells me this:
unzipping............
opening..............
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
I tried to look for the file to rename it but could not find it
I mounted the device on PC also tried to find it but could not......
What should I do can someone help???
I looked in to the forums but it did not help that much...
What do you expect update.zip to do? Are you trying to flash a different ROM?
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
If you don't mind explaining what does this file do?
I am installing it coz its one of the steps to Root your phone

It depends. Update.zip files are/can be created by apps for many purposes. Some allow you to install the app via recovery. Others are kernels, etc.
N.B: It's not needed by all devices doing the root process.

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.

You need to run the SD mounting fix.

There is a Guide in the Dev Thread. Named Bibble.
to answer your question root your phone, install superuser, install Busybox, Install Rom Manager. Install clockwork recovery withing Rom Manager. Then use the option to install rom from SD in Rom Manager. Hope this helps.
Hello, I'm learning java in order to be an android developer, but I'm still new to this world.
When I'm trying to reboot into the clockwork recovery from the ROM Manager,
after I'm pressing "reinstall packages",it tells in red:
"
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
"
What is that missing "Update" file, and where or how can I get it?
Thanks
Is your phone rooted yet? ROM manager isn't of much use unless your phone is rooted. To root your phone, if you are running 2.1, google search for "one click root vibrant" and click on the first link and follow the instructions and download the program. Good luck.

Yes, my phone is already rotted by the app "superuser permission".
I have the same problem
and I notice when my phone is connected to my computer my phone's internal storage is labeled "G" and the external SD card is labeled "F"
I was thinking the problem had something to do with the labels. When it fails initially, I can hit the home button and it seems to boot into recovery but then, when I tried to do a backup I also got a failure.
I don't have an external SD card...
What is that missing update.zip file?

the update.zip file is either the ROOT file you download and place on the internal card to gain root access through stock recovery.
it happened to me once... i had the update. zip file and deleted it.. i guess it was the root file.. so re downloaded it and put it back on the sd card and reinstalled pkgs and it was good.. try finding the root file and putting it back on your sd card
if you are looking for the cwm recovery update.zip I uploaded it, its in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893824
but you should be able to just get it from rom manager, but whatever if it isn't working, you can get the update.zip from above.
that isn't the update.zip to root your phone, thats to get into cwm recovery.
In the rom manager app, tell it to flash cwr. And the tell it to reboot into recovery. Select reinstall packages, may need to choose that twice before it takes.

HI
Sorry if i am in the wrong section to post. If I am, please move to a more convenient group.
I made a custom Rom in the android kitchen. Everything went through well, no problems at all. then when I try to install to my phone, it wont install and I get these errors:
One error I got while installing was: Installation Abored: Status 6.
Now I get this error white installing: E:Cant open /sdcard/primou_signed_031613_094637.zip (bad) Installation aborted.
Whats going on because I havent changed/converted any update scripts just added an apk then zip aligned it. The original roms install ok, but my own dont install when everything is set the same.
please help me. THANKS
I can upload my two custom roms for you to have a look to see if you can make sense of it. it is for HTC ONE V gsm.

To add apk's to a rom, you can add them but do not unzip the rom, just add them to the archive, let me know how it goes
I think status 6 is when you corrupt the updater-script. What did you use to update the script? I use EditPad lite.
Hi, i have a problem with my custom rom. I followed many guides to create a custom rom. I use android kitchen and 7zip.
My device is Plunk elite 2 ( http://www.plunk.it/tvbox/pro ). I downloaded a firmware from Plunk and with android kitchen I added just one application in system/app folder. I build the archive with android kitchen and always with android kitchen i sign the archive.
When i try to install the update from sd card i get this error:
finding update package
verifying update package
installation aborted
I tried more times but no solved. How can I do? Where i wrong?

What did the error say did it indicat error status 7 or 6 or did it jus say instalation aborted.....I can try to help if u tell me exactly what the error message says
