Try placing the zip file under sdcard2 folder then boot into clockwork and install from zip

you need it to be in sdcard2 folder. Then in clockwork choose boot into recovery. Install from there. You choose to install from zip.

Of course you could just unpack the file and use the adb method stated for 1.3.1. I did that for this update along with 1.3.2 and i have had no problems. Just make sure you have a folder called sdcard2 in sdcard. (/sdcard/sdcard2)

[Q] I need help install cyanogenmod 6

I'm new to rooting and installing custom roms. I used unrevoked 3 to root my ego, then I created an nandroid and wipe my phone. Next, I rebooted the phone to download the free version of ROM manager from the market. I used the ROM manager to download cyanogenmod 6 (stable). After downloading the rom, I did as the screen prompted me and wipe the phone and created a backup. From here the installation process begins and end with
Welcome to Cyanogenmod 6.0.0-supersonic assert failed: getprop ("ro.bootloader")="0.76.2000"//9.000"
E: Error in /sdcard/clockwork/download/mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip
I haven't a clue what to do at this point.
Can someone please help?

Read this link, I think it is about the same problem.

If I still can not post a link cause I am new, then I googled this:

I got three hits, read the first one "maybe we need and android tweeking ...."
Also check this out. I am tempted to say you downloaded the link to the actual file that you want and not the file. Here is the link to the actual file.

Click that link and then you download the file you need.

You may have the wrong version of CWM recovery installed. You need Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c. If you are trying to flash thru Rom manager it may have had you update to v4.0.0.4 which is not compatible with the external sdcard. If this is the case, re-install the correct recovery version, and then redo your backup so that it is on the external sdcard where it can be safe if you need to wipe/factory reset. You can use Rom manger just to reboot into recovery, or df Quick Boot from the market and use that instead.
Good luck!

Rom manager says it is 4.0.0.4 but when in recovery is say CWM recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm or Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c ( I don't remember exectly) and the error is the same.
Also, I tried reflash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.zip from the SD card and get an error.
I really don't have a clue of what to do.
Any help would be welcome.

The problem is that you can't flash anything from the external sdcard with v4.0.0.4. In rom manager, see if you can find"all clockwork recoveries" and find 3.2.0.0. If not, find 3.0.2.8 or 3.0.2.5 and flash one of them, preferably the latest of those I have listed. I think those will at least recognize your sdcard. If you can't do that, you will need to reflash the correct recovery the same way you did when you rooted. Remember, never flash a zip file through adb.
Good luck!
I tried to flash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img via adb.
I could flash boot sector. Then I reboot into recovery and try to apply zip from card with file update_US-Xoom-WiFi-3.2-HTJ85B-from-HMJ37_stachre_solarnz-boot-img_v05.zip, but there is a NO at the end of the name of the file and I can't go on.
Trying to rename as update.zip and run apply zip from card results in same error:
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
what should I do?
Thank you
possible bad download... download again... also, don't think this would be an update... leave it as originally named, just choose the option to choose which zip file to install from the sd card

It sounds like you are flashing recovery ok, but you keep overwriting it with the stock recovery.
Here is some important information that should help a lot with making your new recovery "stick"and this was taken from the Idiot's guide to flashing...in the Development section, and originally written by publicanimal:
4. Install recovery image (CWM)
Download the recovery image file and save it to your computer
Boot into flash mode with 'adb reboot bootloader'
Install your downloaded recovery image
C:\Documents and Settings\Anders> fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Restart the device with 'fastboot reboot'. Timing is essential here, so be alert when the device restarts, or you will have to redo this section
Enter CWM with the following procedure
Once the Motorola logotype is shown, start counting to 3. At 3, press the Volume Down button. This should result in the text 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner. If it does not work, experiment with the timing ...
When 'Android Recovery' is shown press the Volume Up button. This should invoke the CWM recovery menu. If that works, then congratulations for reaching this far .
Here is a potential pitfall. If you are unable to enter CWM *before* the device boots into Honeycomb, then the newly installed recovery image will be overwritten by the system default recovery. If that happens, or if you see "starting fastboot protocol " your timing wasn't right and you need to reflash the recovery image and try it again.
See original post,below for more information.

[Q] E: Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20121 (status 7) when install from sdcard cm10-20121005

installing update....
symlink:some symlink failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20121010-unofficial-infuse4g.zip
(status 7)
installation aborted.
Status 7 means a getprop error...in other words, cwm detected that the zip does not suit your phone...if you are really sure that the zip is for your phone, extract the zip and find a file named "updater-script"...open it with a text editor and delete all the lines starting with "assert(getprop..." (something like that, forgot the lines )..save the file and rezip everything you extracted...then try flashing again...
Which version of CWM are you using? I've seen this on another Samsung device when I was using the wrong CWM. You need to be in CWM 6.
I had this error happen to me too, you need to odin back to stock and just flash your way back up to JB

[Q] Question on zip file signature verification

HI,
I have been trying to create a signed zip file that can be installed through recovery.
I created a simple one using edify (updater-script) and other one using ammend (update-script).
I signed them with
java -classpath /path/testsign.jar testsign update.zip update-signed.zip
which completed without errors.
I can open the zip file and everything seems fine.
When I try and install the zip file it fails with E:signature verification failure.
Without signature verification it does install. I used the edify method in this case.
I tried CWM ver 5.0.2.7 5.0.2.8 5.8.3.4 6.0.1.3
and TWRP 2.3.2.3 2..1.8 2.2
To test further I installed Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from this site
It installs with all the cwm but not the twrp recovery.
however Superuser-3.1.3-arm.zip passes signature verification and installs with twrp 2.3.2.3
What am I doing wrong when I sign a zip file? I would like it to be able to install with signature verification
Any help would be appreciated
thanks,

Issues updating

Hello, my tablet is TF300TG WW 9.4.4.40, unlocked bootLoader with custom recovery CWM
What I did is I went to
1-Asus support downloaded the appropriate upgrade which is "WW_epaduser_10_4_3_7_UpdateLauncher.ZIP"
2-copied the zip file as it is "WW_epaduser_10_4_3_7_UpdateLauncher.ZIP" and also copied whats in it which is "TW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.zip"
3.got the exclamation mark which is telling me there is an update
4.restart
5.It went automatically to the custom recovery CWM
6.I assumed I need to factory reset/and clear dalvik
7.then install from sdcard
8.tried "WW_epaduser_10_4_3_7_UpdateLauncher.ZIP" and failed immediatly
"script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /sdcard/WW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted
Any suggestions please?
The way I updated mine was real simple: (Also have the TF300TG)
1. copy correct zip file from Asus to microSD card.. (make sure its the only file on the card)
2. Use the tablet microSD slot not the docking station one.
3. Power off the Tablet and reboot
Mine rebooted and ran the update no issues at all.. Hope that helps
I did this before unlocking the bootloader etc

For you tablet to update as you first tried stock recovery needs to be in place. Not cwm or twrp and the file would be TW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.zip.
You should be able to flash TW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.zip with cwm to update ( install zip ). After this completes you will have stock recovery in place not cwm.
Good luck!
