Please Help!!!!!!!!

I am trying to restore my Gtab using a micro sd card. I already had Clockwork install. So here is the steps I use
On the SD card I reformatted it and add the "Recovery/ command with SD2 and save the file. I also update the update.zip file
So I held up the volume + and power and it rebooted to Clockworkmod recovery, but I can not access the SD2 card to install the update.zip file. So how can I reboot into the system restore and not Clockworkmod recovery. Please tell me if I am doing something wrong? I can not get it to continuing booting up

The /sdcard/recovery/command is only for when you have the stock recovery installed. You have clockwork installed.
Option 1) So what you need to do is put your update.zip onto your internal /sdcard partition when you are booted into your ROM. Then boot into clockwork, and run it.
Option 2) If you cannot boot into your ROM, hopefully you have a backup that you made in clockwork that you can restore to a working state. Then run the update.zip from clockwork.
Option 3) If you don't have a backup and cannot boot into your current ROM. You can push the update.zip to /sdcard with ADB.
adb push update.zip /sdcard

Do you know the instructions on how to use the adb push update.zip/sdcard?

Dang, so you don't have a working ROM and don't have a clockwork backup? If you don't have ADB setup either, then that does kinda put you in a bad position.
At least this will give you the incentive to setup ADB. Here is a guide: http://wiki.tegratab.com/index.php/Setting_up_ADB
Btw, that is the literal command when you get it working. Change directory to the update.zip, then:
"adb push update.zip /sdcard"

You could also go into clockwork and mount usb storage. Then copy the file to your tablet from your pc.

I was until to get the update file on the root on the internal mem but when I try to install it will not let me it just install update and go right to the Clockwork reboot screen

Is it a way I can completely bypass clockwork?

Was able to fix it guys thanks

Root is fine, but unable to install roms

First of all,
I did some research on the forum and the web and couldn't find a clear answer to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S (with Bell Canada). I used SuperOneClick to root my phone. Everything worked fine.
But when it comes to ROM installation...
So I download Rom Manager and do a custom recovery image... says success, but the update.zip file appears on the internal sd and not external (so, i made a copy on the external - which made a second one appear on the internal wtf, but when i unplug it's at the right location on external - and put a copy of the ROM by the same occasion)
I then do a reboot recovery through ROM Manager. There I select wipe data/factory reset. When I select the option flash zip, i get this error : failed to open mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
What am I doing wrong ? Any solutions ?

Select the option to " Select zip from SD card " then select the zip file you are trying to flash. Hope this helps

I get the error msg when I select that option.

so you select "intall zip from sdcard" then you get the error "failed to open mnt/internal_sd/update.zip" ? That error is the error that most get when they select the option to "apply sdcard:update.zip"

[Q] What is "update.zip"?

I've been trying to figure out what this is. I see it referenced in ROM Manager, ClockWorkMod on my recovery, and Titanium.
I don't understand exactly and precisely what it does and how it functions.
I've been searching forums and Google and no one can give a good explanation.
All I can assume is: It's a file that is used to flash over the ROM, but I don't understand it's role, or when one would want to make this file, or how to use it. Does it automatically run every time you flash a ROM?
Why would I want to do "apply /sdcard/update.zip" in CWM, instead of going to "choose zip from sdcard"?
Thanks for helping a newb...

Update.zip packages are compressed folders that contain files used to install an update to your device. They can range from installing an entirely new OS version to just installing a program to your system or data areas. They are often used for tweaks that can not be done while the phone is operating normally, hence they are done in recovery. When you select 'apply /sdcard/update.zip' in CWM the phone is assuming the file is named 'update.zip' and must be in the root of the sd card (don't know if G2X is looking at the internal or external card but I will assume it is the internal card). When you select 'choose zip from sdcard' the latest version of CWM will let you browse the internal or external sd card for any zip package with any name. This is much more versatile as you don't have to rename the package update.zip and it can be anywhere on your sd card. This feature is not on stock recovery and one needs an alternate recovery for this versatility.
If you flashed CWM from ROM manager it did not flash it to the real recovery partition. When you choose boot in recovery from RM it tricks the phone by booting into recovery and then having that apply a special 'update.zip' it installed to your phone that then boots up the CWM recovery you 'installed' from RM.
I believe Titanium Backup (pro vesion) can create update.zip packages to reinstall backed up apps and data.
They are all the same thing but used for different purposes. Typically the zip packages contain apk files, needed data, an updater-binary and an updater-script. The updater-binary is the file that tells the phone how to interpret and apply the updater-script. The updater-script contains commands in a language called 'edify' that instruct recovery how to apply the update.zip package.

Get the GApps .zip file onto the internal storage (aka transfer from your computer to the root of your device or email the zip to yourself and download it on your phone). Go into Recovery mode. Select "install zip". Select "choose zip from sdcard". Then just choose the GApps zip file and it'll start installing.
