Hey all, I posted this on CM's forums as well but haven't gotten any replies so I figured I'll try this forum as well. I'm a new to mod installations so forgive if some of these questions are redundant/plain stupid. I figure it's better to ask a stupid question though, than to brick my phone.
Anyways, here goes:
So I have installed ClockworkMod (free) and created a recovery.
I copied a stable version of CM into my root folder (update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS2-signed.zip)
Now to install it do I go into ROM Manager, and under ROM Management select "Install ROM from SD Card"? Then check off the 3 options and hit ok, and reboot into recovery on the next popup window?
Finally...when the phone reboots into "Android System Recovery"..I see this:
Android system recovery <3e>
Enter: OK Key, Select: VOL UP/DOWN
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature...
E:signature verification failed...
Installation aborted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So do I go into "apply update from sd card" and select the CM zip file?? And after that I see there's mention of another zip file simply labelled "update.zip"...its also in my root. So I use that AFTER CM.zip right?
And finally...whats up with the errors there while installing the package? Is that ok?
Thanks! And sorry if this is the wrong forum. I didn't spot a specific mod-related forum here.

Use this link here, i think your problem is you afe flashing with rom manager you should use CWM for a first time install and you need to flash twice back to back to ensure a clean install.

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.

I successfully flashed (cm6) for the first time and got everything working correctly but I can't seem to find the Android Market. Now from what I read I need to install the gapps file. I found it downloaded it straight on the phone. Am at the clockworkmod recovery, but.....how do I install it?
install zip from sd card?
Wont that mess up the ROM
sorry im fairly new to all this.
From Clockwork choose - install zip from sdcard, then - choose zip from sdcard, then browse to where you saved the gapps file and select it. It won't mess up your ROM.

Yes you install the gapps.zip file from Clockworkmod recovery by selecting install zip from sd card. You need to install it from ClockworkMod because all of these Google Apps will be installed in the /apps directory. No this won't mess up the ROM because the structure of the zip file determines what gets written to the various partitions on the phone. The gapps.zip file contains files that will be written to the /apps directory. A ROM zip file will typically have *.img files in it like boot.img as well as files for the /apps directory.
This was a bug in rom manager with gapps. You followed the procedure correctly fyi.

Alright great. Yeah like I said after that weird error message all I did was restart the phone go back into clockwork and install the zip again and there was no error this time around so now I have all the Google Apps. Thanks to everyone for the help.
So, i am trying to load this new ROM (the Vicious rom). I go into clockwork recovery & select install zip from sdcard, then i choose zip from sdcard, & instead of loading the new rom it says: Finding Update package, opening update package, installing update package, then it is complete....how do i get it to load the rom?
additional info:
I cannot install any ROM now, it runs through this short update process I explained above. Am I missing something that allows the rom to be loaded?
That's how roms are installed. Did you reboot after you installed the rom?
i had issues with clockwork so i used team win recovery here-- http://www.mediafire.com/?ye85b3n1f72nen3
Maybe try this one and see if it helps just put on root of sd card
make sure it is named PG05IMG.ZIP go into the bootloader
by shutting down phone rstarting by holding down volume arrow then power till it comes up in bootloader and do the update

Either you are choosing apply sdcard:update.zip accidentially instead of "install zip from sdcard" or you still have a PG05IMG on your sdcard? If you still have that img on your card, you will have to hook your phone up to your computer > boot into recovery > mounts and storage > mount sdcard > enable usb and find that IMG and delete it. Then go back do your wipes, and install zip from sdcard.
Try redownloading the ROM in case it may have been corrupted during the original download.
I have loaded the zip file CM10-Nightly-mb520 dated 20120730 onto the sd card, placed it into the Bravo and selected 'apply sdcard:update.zip. I get the following:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

What am I doing wrong?
you must select install zip from sdcard, not flash update.zip.
How do I install SD card versus flash update? Do I boot phone as normal and then run the instal from zip?

Ok first stop what your doing and put your phone down before you brick it. If you dont know what your doing at this point then you need to spend a few days reading up on just what you are trying to do. Until then dont try to flash anything to your phone.
Ok, thanks. Would you mind giving me a bit of guidance? I'm trying to upgrade the Android version on the Bravo. Is there a version that you would recommend? I appreciate any help you offer for this rookie!
2nd init defy
you'll need to download 2nd init defy to your memory card then install that on your phone. then shut off your phone. turn it on back and when you see the led light turn blue you press the volume down button. use your volume down button to go on backup and recovery. press the power buttopn to select then select custom recovery. You are now in recovery mode. Here, your touchscreen doesn't work so you use your voulume up and down buttons to move and your power buttons to select
