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.
issue
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:

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.
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?

I am trying to flash zip files from my SD card in cmw.. I go to choose zip from sd then after choose external_sd/ when i choose it, it does absolutely nothing( I hit the home button and it says no file exists but i know the files are there). I also manually mounted the SD... I was originally trying to do the fix speaker sound.. But due to the fact i could not get the sd to read, i did it from the internal memory. Now i cannot use my phone app at all it just crashes. I now want to flash a new rom on to fix the issue, but as i said i can't flash the zip from the SD. If anyone can give me some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
For flashing Roms you ALWAYS put them on your sdcard WHICH IS THE INTERNAL UNREMOVEABLE SDCARD. Your external sdcard on Samsung roms is called external_SD and in cm7 it is called emmc. On stock based roms (Samsung roms) you will always have to put the files on the sdcard NOT the external removeable sdcard.

Sounds like you already have a rom installed. Which one? Or are you still on stock? If stock, you can't flash from stock 3e recovery.
Assuming you have CWM Recovery, put the flashable zip on the root of the internal sdcard *not* the external sdcard, and not in any directory. If your directory structure on the sdcard is fairly long, the files may be hidden at the bottom, and you will have to scroll down to see them. Use the vol+ button to scroll in the up direction is easiest. Then you should be able to install the rom by selecting "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Do not use "choose zip from internal sdcard".
I am running a stock rom rooted.. I was falling a sleep while typing it.. I ment I was trying to choose the rom in CWM.. I saved the ROM on my external SD so i can try to pull the file and flash my phone to it.. What i am saying is when i go to pick the ZIP under in CWM i can't access it. As i wrote in my original post
If you have stock rom plus root by Entropy512, then the kernel is straight stock with 3e recovery, and you can not flash a rom from 3e recovery. You will need to install a kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery first. See the guide linked in my signature for detailed instructions on how to do that.
And go back and read both RockRatt's post and my previous post, to learn that you can not install a rom from the external sd card. And you should spend some time reading in general, so you have a basic understanding of what you are doing. And then do some more reading.
external sd

Why is it so difficult to put the zipfile on internal sdcard for flashing purposes,
then after flashing using a file manager simply move the zipfile to external sdcard?
Of course if you were using CWM Manager you would not have the
problem in the first place, CWM Manager (apk) can be downloaded
here: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G it is fully compatible with
CWM recovery but you do not need to go into recovery mode.
With this app you will have access to external sdcard with no problem.
It has most of the same options and features as you would see in Rom
Manager but it's fully compatible with our phones and flashable zipfile
roms, kernels, modems and mods. (it even installs apps )apk).
This is a perfect solution to backup and restore roms too.
(fully CWM compatible Nandroid with option to name the backup)

I've just installed a few roms before this but Android Revolution HD 7.0.0 is givin'g me a lot of trouble.
First i've followed the instructions:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card
Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol up + home + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script
UNTIL HERE! I've have the zip rom on INTERNAL and EXTERNAL sd but can't install any of them.
Anyone can help?

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
