Noob question.
Installing CM7 with CWM and ROM Manager, I'm getting can't mount /emmc
using internal SD with "the hard method", rooted with SOC
do i have to partition the SD card?
Dont flash CWM with ROM manager...use Odin to flash CWM kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823). Also, dont use internal SD option, just go to install from SD in CWM and find the file...I had issues installing CM7 so let me know how it goes for you.
What the reply said. I initially had troubles trying to install from my SD card, so I just used root on my internal SD card. I flashed CM7 from CWM rather than using ROMManager, and ended up having my phone hang at boot. After some research, I discovered there's a glitch where the flash doesn't work correctly, so you actually have to flash CM7, and then flash it again right afterwards. Works like a charm for me now.
Hope this helps!
thanks for the replies both of you!
i did get CWM flashed ok...v5.0.2.3
when i'm in CWM, i disable signature checking then install from zip from internal sdcard and i get
E:Can't mount /emmc/

I think internal and external SD card are switched somewhere in CWM.
thanks! how do i fix that?
ok, yes Entropy you were right, the internal sdcard gives the /emmc error, the zip from sdcard works, and cm-galaxys2-full-75.zip starts installing then give the following
asset failed: getprop....
E:Error in /sdcard/cm_galaxys2_full-75.zip
(Status 7)
i also tried toggle script asserts
i figured it out, it was the galaxys2 nightlies from rommanager, not the galaxys2att, trying that now...
I don't think the euro GS2 nightlies work with ATT GS2, I could be mistaken though.

Thanks dan40hands,
I got it working with the ROM posted in Dev...
Doesn't look like the euro nightlies work...

Use this one http://www.multiupload.com/73J3G4C1CV
1. Boot into CWM
2. Nandroid back-up
3. Wipe data & cache
4. Choose install zip from SD card
5. Select the file downloaded above and install
6. Repeat step 4 & 5
7. Reboot and Enjoy
Why would you have to do 4 and 5 twice. Ie install it twice?

Oddity with Cyanogenmod in regard to coming from Samsung-derived ROMs, I think involving filesystem formatting. It was the same on the Infuse. Once you're on CM7, you'll only have to do updates once.

OKay, So i installed update for checkrom revo4 via Kitchen pro. Everything is working like charm. Now i wanted to change the kernel. Downloaded it, but when it boots to cwm to install is, it says error mounting sdcard 20s, and counting down. no good
Tried manually mount sdcard in cwm, gives error mounting sdcard,
So how to proceed
Hey everyone longtime since I've done this kinda thing but i'm a bit stuck
heres what im using
Galaxy SII
Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3
Android version 2.3.4
ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2
I've downloaded: update-cm-9-20120305-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip
I renamed it to update.zip and its on my SD card
When I try to run it I get
"Install from sd card
Finding update
opening update
E:Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted."
Do I need to wipe the phone? Or get to OS 3 and then go to 4?
Thanks for the help
its been about 3 years since I used android, but i'm back!
fixed it. Formatted sd card first durrrr
Formatting didn't fix
I'm getting the same error under the same conditions.
Formatted the SD card as per your suggestion. Used Clockwork to perform the format just to make sure, and put update.zip back on it. (Noticed the format was FAT32.)
Still getting
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)

Am I going crazy?
I think I'm doing everything else right. See the steps I'm taking.
If you're trying to flash a CM9 nightly, do not rename the file. Go into recovery and:-
1) Install zip from sdcard
2) Choose zip from sdcard (or choose zip from internal sdcard depending on where you have the CM9 nightly you're wanting to flash located).
3) Navigate to the folder where the file you want to flash is.
4) Choose the file
5) Confirm install; "Yes"
6) Reboot & done
Do not use "Apply /sdard/update.zip
Hello. i'm trying to flash omega rom, i downloaded it a copule of times and did an md5 check, the file is ok. i searched everywhere but i didn't find a solution. i'm kind of new with this, so i will really appreciate some help... thanks!
try formatting your sdcard,then place the zip and flash it..
tried it
i tried it and it still doesn't work. when i try to install from the internal card i get: E:can't open emmc...
someone?
If you are running latest cwm, your micro sd card is not emmc.
Flash from sdcard not internal sdcard.
i tried that too and it didn't work.. installing a newer CWM can help?
Download CMW.zip from turbobit(dot)net/24a3a40uri08(dot) html. Keep it in external sd card, launch recovery mode. Then reboot to recovery.Choose apply update from external storage. Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear. Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD. Select and install your ROM.

Disclaimer: I am a noob and this is my first attempt at flashing a custom ROM to my Galaxy Nexus i9250
In order to flash a custom ROM to my Galaxy Nexus i9250 (GSM), I did the following:
- unlocked / rooted the phone
- flashed CWM Recovery
- downloaded a ROM and saved it to my SD card
- wiped data cache
- Went to recovery and tried to install it from sd card
I got the red exclamation into android image and the message that "installation aborted"
The recovery log:
-- Installing: /sdcard/update.zip
Finding update package...
I:Update location: /sdcard/update.zip
I:using /data/media for /sdcard/update.zip.
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
result was NULL, message is: assert failed: install_zip("/sdcard/update.zip")
------------
I have tried the following:
- flashed CWM recovery several times and retried
- downloaded the file again from internet and tried
- downloaded different custom ROMs and tried
Each time I reach the same point .. red exclamation mark and installation aborted ..
Perhaps I am making a very obvious mistake .. but I honestly cannot figure out what
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks !
Give me the steps you're taking right from when CWM boots up.
You should be doing this:
wipe data/factory reset
advanced
wipe dalvik cache
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
navigate to the .zip file
Thanks

I changed the following steps:
- wiping dalvik cache. Had missed that before
- my mac was unzipping the downloads , and I was zipping them again before transferring them to sdcard.
- I had not saved gapps zip file to sd card (dnt know whether that was required).
Anyways .. done now.
Thanks.
