Seems like you're using the apply update from sd card option instead of install zip from sd card option.
You have to use the "install zip from sd card" option, then select "choose zip from sdcard".
Also put the file on the external sd card instead of the internal sd card since thats what cwm picks up as default sdcard for me.

as soon as I use power to select "/sd" it flashes me back into the same directory tree like I didn't select it at all. Am I missing something obvious?
try using the back softkey as your select button
/sd is your ext sd card, roms should be installed from /sdcard (internal).
If you have it in the correct place, perhaps you are not scrolling to the very bottom of the list in cw recovery when you are selecting your file to flash.

Are you saying I should put the rom in the main memory (lacking proper term here) of my phone instead of the "external" removable sdcard?
move the rom .zip file to the root of sdcard/ (this is the internal memory). If you are putting it at sdcard/sd, this is your external memory and is not correct.

Yay thanks
So what rom are you running now?
When I boot up into recovery, I can never get my external sd card to mount properly. I can select it but it just goes back to the internal sd card directory as if there's nothing there. I had this issue on my Infuse as well but that had the stock Samsung 2GB sd card in it, I've got an 8GB card now from Patriot. I've formatted it with SDFormatter with no luck.
Does CWM simply not allow you to load your recovery (nandroid) backup files from the external, or ROM installation files, etc.?
Bump... me neither!

I figured out my issue after the fact and forgot about this thread.
I kept thinking that I needed to mount the /emmc to load a .zip but I found out that when I go to load a file, I needed to pick 'choose zip from internal sdcard' at the bottom which actually is not the internal card, but the external sdcard. Yeah that confused me. I can now get into it that way, hopefully you can too.
Also, make sure you only use the Home and Back Arrow softkeys to navigate CWM as this was causing me some issues using the Power key like I was used to.

install zip from sd card > select zip from sd card (probably will be at the bottom, use volume keys to navigate) >select and then install
I have select install from zip file. I got to select ext sd but it say no file found.

YOu have to put the .zip files in your INTERNAL sd card. CWM can't install zip files placed on your external sd card (or at least 4.x.y.z versions)
When my friend tries to enter recovery and flash a zip from sd card it says Failure: can't mount sd card. Any ideas?
Hi
Trying to install custom Rom from CWM recovery but there isn't any zip file there?
see the photos...
format sd card both in NTFS & FAT32 but no result, the sd card is detected and work but doesn't appear in CWM...!!!
any help?
It's not under /legacy? If not, then either try a different recovery or put the rom zip on the internal storage vs external if you have both.
