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.

For anyone who flashed a kernel or ROM and broke Wifi, this fix worked for me. You will need Root Explorer or some other file manager that can R/W /system/. Go into /system/lib/modules and delete bcm4330.ko. Grab the attached bcm4330.zip, extract the .ko file, copy it over to your phone, then use Root Explorer to drop it into /system/lib/modules. Finally, reboot.
Brought my wifi back after flashing Ziggy's kernel using Con247's easy kernel flash method and losing wifi.

What do you mean by "attached .bcm4330.zip", I can't find this file. Was there a file previously attached to this post? If so could someone supply it please

My buddy rooted my phone last year and flashed cyanogenmod 7.1.1. My bluetooth piece will not connect to my phone and I'm thinking I need to flash a new rom.
I have no idea how to do this. I tried to read up on stuff like adb and sdk.
I could really use some serious guidance on how to update my rom.
I'm running Android 2.3.7 with Cyanogenmod 7.1.1.
Can I install any type of mod, now? Like Sense?
I hope I am posting this in the proper place.
Thank you
This needs to be moved to q and a. Anyhow, you can now flash other roms. There is a guide posted somewhere im sure. Just google thunderbolt Rom flashing guide or something like that.

How do I move this to Q and A?
And I can run any other type of ROM? Would I have to re-download rom manager and all that? I've been reading up on titanium backup. So I really just download the file to my SD card then delete data/dalvik then reboot to recovery and install new rom there? There redownload titanium and do a restore?

Thank you much. I will read, then re-read this, then ask any questions I may have.
Have a great Monday!
What I really need is the ability to use my blue tooth headsest. Do I have to flash a whole new ROM for this? Or should I flash a radio?
I've been reading up on flashing a new rom but am still confused. Do I need to flash the rom THEN flash an RUU (radio?). How about kernels?
I'm worried that I would have issues with the small things...like clearing/formatting my data/dalvik.
Also, how do I add my Radio/RUU to the "Root" of my SD card?
And can anyone clarify how to verify M5sum? I have a program downloaded for it, but don't know how to use it.
First off radios and ruus are two different things. The radio does need to be on the root of the sd card to be flashed. It doesn't really matter if you flash the radio before or after because that won't change between flashes. I find the best way to do it is just download the radio using the phone. Browse with a root file explorer like es file explorer to the download folder, rename the file to PG05IMG.zip, copy, paste it one folder back (that's the root directory). After you flash it in the bootloader browse to the file and rename it.

Thank you for the reply. I'll download a root file explorer. How should I download a radio on my phone?
Do you think the radio is the issue with my bluetooth not working?
Thanks again.
In case you want to do the actually OTA with your phone, and got some errors (dead android), you might want to check:
+ if you are using "CWM Recovery" (then uninstall it as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825)
+ if you are using "Remove QSlide Apps from NotificationBar" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194423)
But don't use the QSlide revert file from above thread, it doesn't restore the exact matched file for OTA to work with (you can try if you want). To save you some trouble, I have attach the original files (LGSystemUI.apk and its odex). Unzip and overwrite them in the folder /system/app (use ES Explorer to remount /system RW first).
+ still not found the problem, check the few last lines of this file: /system/cache/recovery/last_log
It should say which file mismatches the checksum, and in the case of mine, it is LGSystemUI.apk, which I cannot find anything related searching google. And that's why I make the thread so people can search google and found it here.

If you are rooted then all you need to do is find a nandroid backup of previous jb and flash it. Then you use the trick to force the OTA. If you are not rooted then the only thing I can say is download the kdz, flash it, and wait for the OTA.
there are a few things that manipulate the system: link2sd, overclocking, busybox, custom recovery. . .My thing was the busybox. I totally forgot that I downloaded it and my update didn't work at first. Good Luck

Downloaded several times to make sure it wasn't a bad download. Went to apply zip, as soon as I pressed YES, INSTALL ABORTED.
I have no mods or edited system files or anything like that. All I ever did was CWM and root. Had qslide removed but reverted.
Make sure MD5 sum is correct. The other stuff doesn't matter. You are flashing a full backup not an OTA which requires all stock apps.

In my OP, I said "don't use the QSlide revert file from above thread, it doesn't restore the exact matched file for OTA to work with".
In case you still have trouble with the OTA, try to follow what I wrote: "To save you some trouble, I have attach the original files (LGSystemUI.apk and its odex). Unzip and overwrite them in the folder /system/app (use ES Explorer to remount /system RW first)."
Hope that helps!
For other people with problems, I suggest to use the Recovery Flashable Zip mentioned in one of the reply.
Or, if you are as paranoid as I am (who knows what people might put in those zip file ) (and somewhat technically knowledgeable), "check the few last lines of this file: /system/cache/recovery/last_log" to see what file got error, and try to get the original file from 20D (which should have the matched SHA1 checksum) and replace them.

The build.prop error might be because you may have changed it away from stock (for xposed to work for example). It has to be changed for the update to work. You can change it back afterwards.

Remove those lines and try the update again. It probably does checks to ensure it is unedited before patching. You can add that back after updating.

Here's the stock build.prop file in a zip (attached). Unzip then copy build.prop to your sd card. Use ES File Explorer in root explorer mode. It goes in /system
For reference, the owner is root and the permissions are rw- r-- r-- (644).
