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"

When I am trying to install the update.zip I am getting the following message:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8
--Install form sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted
But I know and triple check that the file (update) is on the root directory
What I am doing wrong?
Are you using Rom Manager? Don't, reboot into recovery
Make sure the update.zip is not update.zip.zip
Make sure the update.zip is not a .rar file
Its much better to "Select the zip file" than it is to let cwm pick the update.zip on the root of the sdcard

Did the gtab_tnt_lite_v4.10.rar unzip to the filename 'update.zip'? you need to look at the name of the file pulled from that .rar.file. If it's something other than update.zip then you need to select ' install .zip from sd card' in recovery, then select your .zip file manually

The rar has the update.zip, but read somewhere that CWM 0.8 finds the update.zip in sdcard and other latest CWM looks the update.zip in sdcard2.
so try CWM 0.8 , or if you have an MIcroSD copy the files to it and run.

The file update is named correctly
I selected the "choose zip from sdcard" it took me to the micro card not the internal sdcard.
Then i would try CWM 0.8 (since this has been tested by many including the mods and recommended ) or try copying the files to the internal memory.

If you have Rom Manager installed then scroll down to the bottom when you open it to "Flash Alternate Recovery" and you should be able to flash ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1-bekit=0.8. Then reboot into recovery.
Do you have cm6 installed on your tab? If you do then it handles the sdcards differently and you may have to put the update.zip on the external sdcard and flash from there.

Thank you @thebadfrog flashing the ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1-bekit=0.8 as a alternate recovery works.

Reformat your sd card especially if it is partitioned
I did that many times. Even did it with another android phone. Also used other sdcard from my android phone.
I'm having this problem too.
Any ideas?

Please take a look at this thread. I'm not trying to boost myself but keep you guys from having problems. I don't know if this is your problem (bad recovery from CWM) but it's been happening to a lot of smart people.

"E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)"
I have been trying to flash the 3.2.2 ROM on my Verizon branded 4g+WiFi Xoom and I am receiving the same message when I choose apply zip from USB:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
I have tried three different microSD cards, 512MB, 16GB class 4, and 32GB class10. I get the same message no matter what card is tried. It does not seem to be able to see its own internal storage or the external microSD card.
I was following the steps and another odd thing is that I do not have the options to perform and Nandroid backup. I have the purchased version of ROM Manager but I need root access to be able to install ClockworkMod... Since my tablet is already at 3.2.2 all I really needed was root anyway so I can run Cisco Anyconnect VPN that required root.
Any tips on getting the Xoom to see or mount the SD card, either one, would be appreciated.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Step 1: Getting Ready to Flash Rooted Honeycomb in Xoom
1. Download the ROM Android-HC-3.2.2-Stock+Rooted-1.1-SOLARNZ.zip and save the file on your desktop.
2. Once done, connect your tab to the computer, mount SD Card or SD Ext and copy the downloaded Zip file to SD Card root. .
Step 2: Put Motorola Xoom in Recovery Mode
First you need to reboot Motorola Xoom in Recovery Mode, after that you can perform a factory reset on Xoom. Follow the steps below:
1. Turn your device on, then switch it back on
2. On startup when Motorola logo appears, press and hold Volume Down button
3. When Android recovery text appears, press the Volume Up button. Your device will now enter in recovery mode.
Note: In recovery mode, you can navigate up and down using Volume Up and Volume Down keys while Power button can be used to select an option.
Step 3: Take Nandroid Backup
1. Once in recovery mode, press & hold Power button.
2. While holding the Power button, press & release the Volume Up button.
3. Navigate to “backup and restore” and select it.
4. Select “backup” to perform your data backup.
Step 4: Factory Reset Motorola Xoom
1. Once Nandroid backup is complete, navigate to Wipe data / factory reset, then press Power button to select it.
2. It will ask for confirmation, select Yes, delete all user data option to factory reset Xoom.
Step 5: Flash Rooted Honeycomb 3.2.2 ROM
1. Select Flash Zip from SD Card
2. Then select choose zip from sd card
3. Select the zip file that you put onto the root of SD card.
4. Wait for process to complete.
And there you go! You are now on the latest Android Honeycomb version and are all set to explore what’s new. In case you are facing any issues or just want to thank the ROM chef. Do let us know in the comments section just in case if you face any issues while updating your device in the comments section as just in case if you face any issues then we will try to solve them at the earliest.
I suspect that you updated your recovery via ROM Manager to a version that doesn't recognize the external sdcard. You need to flash the solarnz R4C cwm
recovery v 3.2.0.0. Rom Manager is a pain.
Also please don't flash that 3.2.2 ROM. It will break your connectivity. If you have 4G, you can flash the Odachi kernel.
Had a problem similar to yours. Make sure you have your sdcard mounted completely in it's slot. Make sure you turn the xoom off when mounting.
4g xoom root failed
ok i attempted the 5 steps but i dont get an option for a backup nor an option to install zip file, the closest is 'apply update from usb drive' then i get the E:/failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory). card is mounted correctly. i bypassed the backup and just did the rest, same issue. should i keep it plugged into pc while doing all this, i plug in to copy zip file then unplug it.
Assuming that you have the correct recovery version installed (see my previous post), you should keep the sdcard mounted in your Xoom. Make sure it is actually mounted. A reboot with the card seated in its slot will usually do it.
You could at least read over this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
and check the steps listed against what you have done. That often helps.
exactly what i needed detailed instructions for dummies. hopefully i will be succesful this time, taking a break for a day this stuff is for programmers, lol.

I encountered the same issue.
It appears the XOOM does not like SD Cards that were formatted using Windows
(or perhaps Quick Formatted using Windows).
Using a 4GB FlashDrive formatted as Fat32 using Linux (i.e. Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64 bit boot CD)
resolved the issue.

Hello everybody!
I'm stuck in a problem I can not solve. I have Toshiba Folio 100 with Rom Cyanogenmode 7.1.
I'm not satisfied, and I would like to return to Foliomod 1.4. But when I enter recovery mode, and i try to flash Foliomod with file update.zip on a SD-card, I receive the following message:
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
If I try the option "Install zip from sdcard" and then "Choose zip from sdcard" in the folder "sdcard-disk0/" I cannot find file update.zip.
So I'm stuck, and there is no way to flash a different Rom. Any idea!? Thanks to all those who can help me!
Davide
Make sure you put the Update.zip on the internal SD Card of your phone. Not the external add in SD card you provided. It is a good idea to remove your external SD card during these type of operations. To protect any data you have on the external SD card.
Maybe the file “update.zip” has been damaged
It's a mess!!!!
My Folio 100 is bricked. When I start, I see the screen "touch the Android to begin" and there is no way to continue. I already tried to make factory reset, but nothing happens. It returns the screen "touch the android to begin" and nothing happens.
I can't flash any other rom, because it does not read the SD Card. What can I do?
Davide
For those who want to Unroot their Karbonn A9 with less chances of without bricking
Before performing any operation make a Nandroid backup using CWM.
Download this http://karbonnklinic.com/download/Downloads/sw/A9.rar 145 MB Update file which is in zip then extract it on your computer. After extracting there will be another zip file named Update.zip.
Now put the Update.zip on your phone's sd card, please make sure you have not put it under any folder.
Now reboot your phone into recovery and then install choose the option Install zip from sd card and then choose the option Install Update.zip from sd card, when you will select it, it will find the Update.zip file automatically on your sd card and ask you to install. Just install this file, it will took 2-3 min for install.
After successful installation don't reboot the device, just go to recovery andd wipe cache partition and then under advanced select option wipe dalvik cache, if you don't perform these option then you will stuck on the Karbonn Smart start-up screen.
Hit thanks Button if you like it.
Hi,
I want to install the Noble Nougat Experience 4.5 so the first I did was to copy the zip file into the download folder. Then i booted into revovery (twrp 3.1) mode, wiped all but internal storage and did a format data but the zip file was lost (I think format data was one step too much?!) . Then I tried with adb sideload but I alwyas got the error "can't load xy.zip" so I tried a random zip file from desktop and this was loaded properly. Now iam stucked in recovery mode with no OS and no idea how to get the zip file to install it.
Can someone help me please?

Hi,
connect your s6 to your computer in TWRP go to Advanced the ADB Sideload then swipe to start sideload
After that press Cancel.
your device must appear in your computer as MTP device so, move "Noble zip" file to your device And flash it.
Regards,
