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.

Clearify this for me.
Can you get into hboot at all? If you have adb and fastboot already installed and configured on your computer you should be able to do: adb shell reboot bootloader.
What does it say at top? Unlocked or Relocked? If relocked then proceed.
Do you have a PH85IMG.zip file on the root of the external sdcard?

is there a way to push this file from the computer when I'm in the hboot?
if not, do you have the latest Various Stock 1.36.351.6 that i can install from the ClockWorkMod Recovery?
b.t.w what is the difference between Deodex and Odex version?

You cannot push a file to the sdcard via fastboot. It must be there already when the hboot is activated so that it can be detected and prompt you to update.
There is a version however I could never get it to install. It always gives me an error.
Difference between deodex and odex is simply the way that the files are compiled. For example the odex version you will see files such as Browser.apk, Browser.odex, Calculator.apk, Calculator.odex, Calendar.apk, Calendar.odex, etc. The de-odexed is simply the *.odex files already compiled with the .apk files. So there will not be a Browser.odex, Calculator.odex, etc. Is there a difference performance wise? None that I've noticed personally. However it does make it easier to theme when there isn't a .odex file involved and it's also a lot easier to manage.
Back on topic... do you have another sdcard to try? Perhaps the one that you are using is corrupted somehow? Remember to properly unmount the device before you unplug it.
i do have another sd card (in my hd2) with ext 2 pert'. i will give it a try later on.
but the strange thing is that on this phone i didnt put any sd card, i only use the internal card.
another thing, i cant boot into the hboot if i turn of my phone, only after i pull the battery out.

I think the reason your post has not been answered is because we don't know exactly what you're asking. Also most answers are already posted. You just have to search and read them.
I'm not sure what you're doing myself, but I think you need to use Odin to flash CWM recovery and then use that recovery to flash ROMs, kernels, etc...
Since I really don't know what you're trying to do, you need to make sure what I said is REALLY what you need to do. By searching and reading you will find your answer.

tq very much.. right now, i'm trying to do just like u say, if it works, i'm in your debt..
what i meant was, that my android recovery system cannot detect the path to SD card, since the gt-p7500 did not have any SD Card slots, so i can't flash any .zip files from my tab.. Thanks so much..

One of the partitions on your tablet is mounted as /mnt/sdcard (or /sdcard). You normally push files there using USB from your computer, either using "adb push" or mounting the sdcard as a media device on the computer.
Stock recovery does not let you choose a file from the /sdcard directory. I think the errors you're seeing is that the stock recovery isn't finding the files it's looking for.
You'll need to install Clockwork Mod recovery if you want to flash custom ROMs.
Galaxy Tab doesn't have an SD Card slot, so anything with external storage/mounting USB/ etc won't work in recovery. Flashing a ROM is possible because the data partition is read and treated as SD Card. If you need to add something to your tab via USB while it's in recovery, you'll need to use the Android Debug Bridge and type adb push, then the file, then the destination.
Example:
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
Every time, I download a rom it won't go straight to my sd card. When I'm in TWRP recovery, it doesnt show that I install the rom in my download folder. I am running a rom now, but I want a different one, what should I do.
Well... Just select the desired path when you download your preferred ROM.
Are you using your computer to download your ROMs or your phone?

I use my phone and the computer to download Roms. When I connected my phone to the computer, the Rom I install, on my computer, won't go the to my sd card. It says that the Rom is there on my computer, but not in TWRP recovery( Sd Card)
Why don't you create a folder on your phone named like this : 1X+ and transfer every ROMs you want to install in this folder only?
This is what I have done on my phone and it's the very first folder I have in TWRP Recovery, from there in recovery when I click on Install the folder 1X+ is right there on the very first line and any ROMs to flash inside. All I have to do is select and swipe to flash.
Maybe I just don't get what you are trying to explain to us.... if so Sorry.

Okay I have a folder, where I download Roms to. When I download a Rom, it won't go to that folder. I use different folders, the same thing happens, it won't show up in the folders, where I put the rom to.
Are you unzipping them before putting them in your folder?
They must stay as a .zip file otherwise they are not recognized.

It sounds like you are downloading the rom to your computer, plugging the phone in to the computer booted in TWRP and trying to install. If so this will not work. The zip needs to go on your phones SD card. Also you may be wiping incorrectly. What options are you selecting.

In Recovery under storage it has the internal storage which includes the SD card and then a small external of 15mb. And yes, it's still a zip file.

I downloaded the latest twrp and the filename is twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi. Using that command I added . img at the end of the filename. I received an error in ADB stating it cannot load that file. I just t looked at the instructions and I forgot to wipe the system and cache before installing the new CR Droid zip. Does that make a difference? Should I do that and try installing the new version of the Rom? Or will the issue of not being able to see the Rom zip file still be there?

No need to wipe anything..
Rename recovery to just twrp.IMG and then try again..
Twrp you are flashing should be in the adb folder..
Renamed it to just twrp and got the same error message. What I was asking about wiping the cache and system is if I want to install the latest CR Droid Rom. I really appreciate your help and please don't feel like you're committed to helping. I may just see if I can flash the new ROM using adb

It shouldn't give that error...
You can flash new twrp with old twrp too..
Just copy it in SD and and click installed/image and locate and flash it in recovery partition....
Caution don't flash it in boot partition..
No you cannot flash custom ROM via adb fast boot... You need a twrp recovery to flash that...
I gave the TWRP app another read try and it worked. I was able to update twrp and that allowed me to install the new ROM. Thanks for your tips and help!
