Error when loading ROM from SD Card

I am trying to upload a new ROM, and indeed have tried a few but keep getting the same error message on my HTC Hero G2 which states
E:Can't open /sdcard/Kimera1.8.zip
ip #
(bad)
Any suggestions on what I am doing incorrect would be very much appreciated.
I wiped everything prior
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Delvik/cache
Wipe SD :ext partition
Wipe battery stats
Wipe rotate settings
And also my rotation isnt working any more
Have you tired another sd card with just a fat32 partition to see if that works?
No I havent as yet, but will the programme that wipes and sets up the ROM still work? Is this stored on the phone or SD Card?
And would I have to back up first?
Thanks
this error usually means you have a corrupted zip file. try redownloading.
Thanks Kendong I will give that a try later !!

Re-flash the ROM or restore that is if you made any backups, you don't have to wipe your data this will solve the problem.

[Q] Help wiping data android_secure error

Hi guys
I'm on cm 10.1 20130813 nightly for Galaxy s2
the folder android_secure can't be deleted
even on PC it will be deleted but once I unplug the cable opening root explorer it will show that the folder is there
when I wipe data it shows up this
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting .cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
so I cant format internal storage from recovery or mobile
in PC I can format it but the folder .android_secure will remain
Any solutions ???
should I have to install kernel or cwm or installing official firmware with odin
what to do ?
thank you
Leave that folder alone. It will always be there.

Won't solve anything if you format to different sd card format.

How to repair an Internal SD Card Partition to Perform Successfull Factory Reset?

I have Samsung Galaxy y s5360.
I have installed CWM and Custom Rom of Cynagenmod on it.
When i go to wipedata/factory reset my Phone I face the Following Error
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
A samilar error occurs when i try to restore my Orignal OS from recovery manager.
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl19
What should I do?
That's just the error that CWM gives when trying to format a partition that your phone does not have. It does not indicate an issue with the internal storage not being wiped. However, the factory data reset in CWM does not wipe /data/media where stuff like pictures, some types of app data, your download folder, and others are located on the internal storage part that your phone considers the "sd card" not to be confused with the external SD card. If you want to wipe that to perform a full wipe of everything in CWM you will have to format the internal storage in the Mounts option from the main page of CWM.
