what did u name the file when u put it on the storage card
update.zip
try naming the zip file "update"
extracted or in zip format?
leave it in zip format
now comes back ... after cd/sdcard
"not found"
Go here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443713 Download from where it says "here" Leave it in zip format name it update.zip and place it on ur storage card n try again
clearly it is not seeing the card let alone the file correct.. but when i plug in the usb to the lap top or use the card holder for the micro on the laptop it sees the laptop sees all the files on the card...
by the way if it is at least at the point of trying to find the card in the terminal emmulator am i at root.... i know this might sound like a stupid question but then again.. look at the number of posts i have...
thanks for your help
at this point it is the principal to accomplish this.... hours working on this and going strong..
trying your update file... while doing that i have a question again..
does it matter that this phone is still... rc19
also... i am using my laptop card reader to place files on the card .. i assume that is not an issue..
thank s
Try moving the file to your sdcard with the card in your phone. Meaning, plug your phone into your computer and transfer the file over. Then unplug the phone from the computer and try the update again.
did it and still no luck..
keeps saying... cd/sdcard; not found
i have been at this all day... there must be some easy ansswer to all this pain
it is not seeing the card..
maybe it is the emulator
but when i do the code to see if i have the img going it comes back with a 1
real quick.... r u sure ur sd card is discoverable in ur settings ?
You have the recovery image installed. I said this over at androidcommunity, but I think the problem is with your sdcard...I think a different card may fix your issue.
it looks like it is trying to install from card but cant... when i do the power on and hold the home key and then do alt+l..then alt+s ... i get
a few statements the last is E:cant open / sdcard/update.zip
no such directory
installation aborted..
maybe i should create a file sdcard and place theupdate file in it.?

"DO NOT" create a file !!! it has to be a zip by itself no folder

What he was suggesting was to take the sdcard out and create a dir named sdcard on the phone and stick the update in there...then when he reboots and does the update the phone would pull the file from there...but after thinking about it...the boot.img would erase it upon shutdown..I believe..anyways it wouldn't work that way....
I loaded the recent update on 12/24 and have not been able to use my tablet since then.. When turned on, it goes thru the ViewSonic screen and the gtablet screen, then just goes to a blank black screen.. It was stock before I loaded the last update..
I have tried to reboot using the power button and vol+
- if there is no microSD card in I get the following message
E: can't mount dev/block/mmcblk2
(no such file or directory)
E: can't mount SDCard2: recovery/command
Formating MISC:...
Rebooting...
- if there is a microSD card with the new download and recovery/command I get the following message
Formatting MISC:...
Rebooting...
Either way, I get a blank screen and no way to change things or update.
Is there anything I can do to get it working again?
This was all stock? Sounds like the flash update failed badly.
Suggestion -- reflash using one of the stock ROM's we've grabbed. Post info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000. Quick instructions:
- Have a microSD card ready.
- Download the 3338 ZIP file, save it to the root of your microSD card and then rename it to "update.zip".
- Grab the homebrew 1.00 ZIP and extract just the /recovery/command file to the same folder in your microSD.
So, if your microSD is your F drive, you should have the following:
F:\update.zip
F:\recovery\command
- "command" is a text file. Open it in notepad and edit "SDCARD" to "SDCARD2". Make sure notepad doesn't add a .TXT extension when you save it.
Insert the microSD back into your device and reboot into recovery. If you're lucky your device will reflash and reboot.
If this all runs and you still get the same black screen on reboot, my next suggestion is to try one of the older firmware ZIPs and flash as I mentioned above.
edit due to Roebeet answering while I was
It was all stock, with a few added apps...
I tried to reflash the file as noted, with no success... same with the 12/19 -3316 update... it goes thru the recovery reboot, and then to the black screen...
A question on the recovery file.. my computer will not allow a "\" as part of a name... I have been trying this was a recovery file, with just the command file in it... if I need to do something different, let me know..

The instructions posted by roebeet should work. Make sure your microsd card is formatted as FAT32.
1. The file update.zip should be in the microsd card's root directory.
2. The folder recovery should be in the microsd card's root directory.
3. Inside the recovery folder there should be a file named command.
4. And inside the command file you should have the following line:
--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip
Still don't have it working.. I have tried all of the updates, and still have a black/blank screen once it goes thru the ViewSonic and gtablet screens..
I have noticed that when I take the sd card out, and check on my computer, that the recovery folder is empty, but I know it had the command file in it before..
any other suggestions??
I believe it's fixable but at this point you may be happier returning it for a new one. It sounds like your update download was corrupted and borked your install.
Not exactly what I wanted to hear.. but..
I called customer support, and got thru today (tried last night and was put on hold then the call dropped)... I was told I wasn't the only person who had this problem with the last update... they are going to send me instructions on how to send it in for repair...
The only I can tell you to try is the same thing Roebeet said earlier. If you have never installed clockworkmod recovery then go here and download the 3389 update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879534
Rename the file to "update.zip" ....make sure it doesn't get named update.zip.zip
Then go here and download cwm 0.8.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865017
Unzip the cwm0.8.zip and you should have this
update.zip
a folder named "recovery" with a file named "command"
update.zip.......DELETE THIS FILE
recovery/command
the command file should have this line in it
--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip
If you have a micro sd card then place the 3389 update file that you renamed to "update.zip" on the root of the micro sd card. Not in an folders
Now place the recovery folder on the root of the micro sd card. Make sure the "command" file is in the recovery folder.
When you open your micro sd card you should see this
recovery (folder)...."command" file in this folder
update.zip
Insert the microsd card into the GTab. Make sure tablet is off and then Press power and vol+. hold Vol+ until you see "recovery key pressed". It should install the 3389 firmware and reboot.
If something happens during the install or if your download is corrupted again always check the recovery folder for the command file because it will be deleted on install.
Just a thought, are you sure it has a good charge on the battery? When I first got my gtab I had a similar issue getting it to boot, until I realized the battery was drained
OK. So here after having some time to sit down after work to get a full idea of what is going on.
I have 2 different ROMS with zips to flash. One is a stock 2.3.4 rooted....the other is ParanoidAndroid CM9 with everything needed to run it.
2.3.4 has caused my phone to read the SD Card as _ExternalSD as a folder.
When on the phone through Astro or through ROM Manager I can find and view the ZIP files on my memory card.
I flashed CWM via NVFlash and CWM is installed on the phone but the issue that comes up is that when I navigate to the _ExternalSD folder and open in within CWM it only has a data folder and all other folders are missing and the ZIP file that is in the root of my SD card is no where to be found.
What can I do??
Don't navigate to that folder. In CWM, your external is simply just that, your external. So when you go to "Install zip" always pick from "choose from external" or however it's worded. It isn't in your internal in that folder that's called _ExternalSD... think of that like more of a shortcut on your ineternal sd card to get to your external sd more easier in file exporers.
So once again, in CWM go to flash/install zip, and choose external SD and it should be there. _ExternalSD is just a quick shortcut for file managers to locate your external.
That isn't the issue. I chose install zip from SD Card....It brings up a list of all of my folders. I have a zip in the root of my SD and it doesn't show up. I have the other zips in a download folder....That folder will not open. None of the other folders will open. The only folder that WILL open is the folder called _ExternalSD........When I open that folder it brings up the SAME list of folders but no ZIP shows up in the root of that folder and when I open my download folder it shows a data folder in it and no files or ZIPs
Nothing???
What do you mean though the folder won't open? Do you get some sort of error or something?
When I boot into CWM and go to install from SD card and what not it brings up the folders that are in the root of my SD card.
There is a ZIP file in the root that does not show up in CWM. My other ROM is located in my download folder.
If i go to the download folder i see and select it the screen blinks and goes to the same list. The folder does not open.
If I go to my ExternalSD and the only folder that shows inside there is a data folder.
Maybe it's a corrupt or incomplete zip file. Hmm have you tried formatting your external at least? Not via your phone but format with an adapter directly to your computer.
Weird problem, but trying to help as much as I can.
Yeah it is a super weird problem. I can try to format the SD card and see what happens.
I don't see that working but I am going to give it a shot but any other ideas on what it could be i'm down to check into.
My last G2x was rooted fine cracked the screen and ended up getting another G2x and now it won't root. LOL super frustrating. I've rooted so many and this one is just being a pain lol.
So far reformatting is not working. Its not doing anything. I'm so dumbfounded as to what is going on.
Try a complete nvflash again? With clockwork 5.0.2.0?
How would I do that? I thought about trying that but I can't seem to be able to get it to reflash it.
How do I boot the phone up so the NVFlash will work. When I plug it in NVFlash cannot find the device
Alright so I think I've figured out the issue now I just need to come up with a solution.
ROM Manager says I am on 5.0.2.0 but when I boot into CWM it shows I am actually on 4.0.1.5.
So I need to flash 5.0.2.0......Issue is here tho that I cannot flash it through ROM Manager and I can't seem to get NVFlash to work in flashing 5.0.2.0.
Can anyone lend some advice on that?

My phone is stuck on a splash screen boot and reboot. I have loaded pd15img package onto SD card. Problem is, when phone goes to bootloader, the progress on screen says PD59diag.zip no image, no matter what zip file I have loaded on sd card. I am having to use a micro video camera to read and load the sd card. It always makes a DCIM folder. Is this causing the problem? The phone is prolly salvageable since I can get into bootoader mode. I just need to know how to get the phone to see the correct zip files in order to load a ROM, any ROM. Just something to make it work. I tried Froyo and PD15IMG.zip, but I don't know what it means when it says I have to rename files to pd15img.zip. Have tried that with no luck. When you rename all files to same name, it adds (2) (3), so on and so on. Is that stopping me from having a legitimate image to work from. Phone just keeps seeing pd59diag.zip...no image, no matter what I do. Please, someone help me. I know it can work again. It's so close. Thanks
Hi
I'm currently trying to update my honor 6 plus to lolipop,I've downloaded the upate zip and its residing in the download folder of my internal storage.
I've then gone to updater and opened local update,but all i see is a message saying......."unable to find update package.Please download the package and copy it to your SD card or the /dload directory in your internal storage."
Am i missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone?,pretty please
Ok,finally got the above problem sorted,but now I'm getting this message,any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Having extracted UPDATE.APP file from the zip and then copied it over to the /dload directory I initiated the EMUI Updater and chose the 'Local update' option. The phone switches off and reboots to CWM Recovery screen each time. Is this supposed to happen? If so, what option should I choose?
If not, what am I doing wrong?

Instal stock recovery and unroot the phone
it will be enough to install stock recovery via Honor MultiTool. Root will be disabled after update to Lollipop of course, but bootloader will be still unlocked. So you can install CWM and root viat MultiTool again.
I have the same problem, instalation failed message, any solution?
