have you mounted /system? and instead of "reinstall packages" you want to select "install zip from sdcard". at least, that's how i did it flashing bionix. it may vary if you're attempting to flash something else, that's the only ROM i've flashed via CWM.
i dont have that option and i tried to use the install rom from the rom manager and i tried doing it by using the final cwm that krylon posted and it still results in the same thing. but i dont have the choice of mount/system or install zip from sdcard on the recovery screen
it definitely doesn't work via ROM manager. more info in this post/thread: http://bit.ly/l3grhw

rom manager is your problem for sure 100%
thank you i thought i had pushed the recovery file to the system/bin but i hadn't but once i did that it started and flashed it no problem
How did you push the recovery file into the /system/bin cause everytime i try it keeps giving me an error message that says cant paste because its a read only file

While in file manager hit the menu button to switch to r/w which means read/write. That will allow you to cut/paste where you need.

i rooted using exploit v 2.3.0 with superuser.apk and it worked on my epic since i see superuser. the problem i have is that when i download rom manager and install clockworkmod 2.5.1.0 from rom manager for my epic. then i proceed to backup current rom, i give it a name and then reboots my phone to factory recovery and this is what i see:
android system recovery <2e>
samsung recovery utils
-for BML-
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data cache
wipe cache partition
install from package...

E:failed to verify whole file signature

can anyone help me backup so I can download new roms afterwards.
Clockwork didn't install bro. Try using the run last.bat, that one works when not rooted, I had issues when already rooted sometimes. You could also try selecting apply update.zip, I think flashing recovery in rom manager puts an update.zip on your sd which opens cockwork recovery when applied from stock rec

where can I find the run.bat file? I have looked in the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard, not there tho.
selecting apply update.zip also does the exact same thing

Help for a newbie.
I followed this procedure:
1 - Copied file to sd card and renamed to update.zip (in a windows computer)
2 - turned xoom on and wento to rom manager
3 - wiped user and dalvik cache
4 - Tried to load file from zip, but it was not possible to find the update .zip file.
I get the following message:
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Tried also without renaming and got:
E: Can't open /sdcard/update_US-Xoom-Wifi-3.2_HTJ85B-from HMJ37_stachre-solarnz-boot-img_v05.zip
After many trials rebooted.
System info showed the same 3.1 and Tiamamat 1.4.4
Opened rom manager again.
seleced install rom from sdcard
System backed up info and rebooted.
Had to reload all apps from store.
System info shows I am running 3.1 and Tiamat 1.4.4.
Also I keep receiving a message that there is a system update available.
I can't understand what I did wrong.

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.

Hi,
hoping that someone can help me with a puzzler. I have a Sensation xe and I used Revolutionary to carry out S OFF and recovery. Now, I can go into the Bootloader and run recovery but whenever I try to install a zip file I get the following error:
Installing: /sdcard/filename xxxx.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/filename xxxx.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Now, MD5 checksums are ok. I've even swapped out sd cards with no success.
I've toggled off the signature verification. It doesn't seem to matter what file I use, the same error happens.
The recovery version is 4.0.14
Anyone out there recognise this error and have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Drew
Change to Clockwork Recovery 5020.

Thanks. I solved my problem by installing 5.0.0.8 which done the trick.
seems weird!
Since this morning I'm not able to flash roms in ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.2.0.0 (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150)

This happens no matter which rom I try to flash. What could be the reason?

please verify your download by comparing md5 checksums. If you use root explorer, you can long-press the file and click properties, it will calculate that checksum for you. If you don't have an app to create checksums, please put the micro-sd card into your computer and use an application to do so on your computer. Compare that md5-checksum to the one provided by whoever you downloaded that rom from. If it doesn't match -> there's your problem. If it does match, something else is probably wrong.

You still have the stock recovery installed. You have to flash that zip with a custom recovery. Install TWRP or CWM and give it another go.
got twrp

I got twrp installed it just won't go into boot recovery so do you know the manual button combo for twrp?
Can't seem to get into twrp reboot just goes to stock recovery even on manual
Just a thought... when you flash a stock image you will lose root. Even though the Goomanager looks like it is installing the twrp it wont work without root. Check your root status through Titanium or rootkeeper etc. Sometimes the debug method seems to tell you that you have root when none of the programs are getting root access.
