what do you mean you updated the update.zip??? there is no update.zip....
I placed CWM final update on SD card and ran it from existing CWM.
I also reflashed my CWM ROM and tried to restore again and it didn't help.
I'm hopless..
Dude on GB you cant unmount system,last time I check...I regurlaly use titanium because I like starting fresh.to restore my apps only

so my CWM backup is pure garbage ???
can i make any bypass ? i have dozens of preconfigured apps.
I guess data restore does work.
Yea only that works bro,this phone is very complicated..ROM manager is not even compatible with this phone.

That's why you get titanium backup and back them up before flashing

Moving to Q&A
unmount system error
i get the same, i have a official kj6 and want to restore a backup with drhonks kj1 +root, voodoo&CWM kernel and cwm wont unmount system. if i cant restore the system too then why does it have the option??
The way I do it is, go into cwm, I flash a froyo Bali 3.3 kernel reboot cwm (not the phone or it will boot loop), restore backup, then flash your GB kernel through cwm, reboot. Works for me.
will try, thanx

Okay, So here is what I have done so far:
1) Rooted phone
2) Installed CWM and flashed the i9000 version per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881
3) I reboot into 3e recovery, wipe data and cache
Here is where I'm having the problem. My only options are Reboot, Reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache, format internal SD card. If I try to reinstall packages it tries to open update.zip (which doesn't exist) and doesn't let me choose a .zip from my SD card. Also I get the E: signature verification failed.
I had CM7 on my captivate and I remember having this same problem but don't remember how I solved it. Any help would be appreciated because I am feeling frustratingly slow on this. Thanks!

Sounds like you need to install modded 3e recovery (putting the modded recovery file into system/bin) then hit "reinstall packages" option twice. Try THIS link
That gives you working CWM
When you get to flashing CM7, after the first flash, a battery pull and re-flash is needed. Also don't forget to flash gapps!
There is a video on YouTube about that recovery

yup..just fast forward to about 6min or 7 min part
Thanks guys... I felt like I was going in circles when it was all so simple!
I've already flashed a custom recovery image of ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.3.1 and have rebooted into recovery, which works fine.
I have Downloaded the latest version of CyanogenMod and gapps-ics and placed on the root of the sd card in my xoom. I have also tried this by placing this in the root on the internal storage but I am having the same issue here.
I can wipe data/factory reset fine, as well as wipe cache no issues, but then when I go into install zip from SD card, then choose zip from sd card I get the line E:Can't mount /sd/card/ so can't install the zips cm-9.0.0-rc1-wingray or gapps-ics
Any thoughts on what might be the issue here, and why I cant get to the zips. As I said I have tried this both ways, having the zips on the internal storage and on the actual SD card.
HELP! So so fed up with v3.2 I need CM9 on this!
I don't know if the message is caused by the launcher. I would disable the signature check and try again.

I had the same problem, did a few google searches which indicated there was a problem with that version of ClockworkModRecovery, i ended up reflashing with ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) and all was fine after that.
Hope that helps,
K
Thanks will give that a go and post back later for if it helps others.

I've tried several diff jb ROMs now currently on beta 6. I've tried several diff cwm recoveries now currently on the latest 6.0.1.0. I can install zips wipe but I cannot backup my ROMs or restore any backups. I'm not allowed to post in the specific thread but trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Cwm boots in recovery then stalls and mentions something about my sdcard...
Sounds like your sd card got unmounted. Not sure how to fix that though...

I take it you have sufficient disk space for the backup file...which can be anywhere from 200mb up to 1.5 Gb or so?
Just do it "manually" after getting the error
In other words from cwm not ROM manager
I had the same error

Worked perfectly thanks.
Like the title says. I tried to search by the xda app makes it difficult to find exactly what I'm looking for. Anybody have a solution? It goes through the backup and is unable to mount /sdcard, then gives the error "Unable to find an appropriate backup handler." I back out and go to mounts and storage, and I clock on mount /sdcard. It simply refuses to mount. I'm at a loss.
Does the device boot up?
Aye. Device boots fine, works same as the day it came in the mail. I'm stuck running stock root66 because I can't do a backup (and you know, I like having backups before I flash a ROM). I've reflashed recovery via EZ-Recovery and ROM Manager, still nothing. I'm using Touch, if it matters.

Is this the first time you've had trouble accessing the SD card via recovery?

i had the same problem when switching from synergy to cm10. i unlocked the phone using the ez unlock app, rebooted, went to make a backup before the cm10 leap.....insert being frustrated as hell here.
ended up just trying twrm instead of cwm and it backed up fine. been using it since.
Sounds as if you have a corrupted internal sd. Might want to move everything over to ext sd and wipe data/ factory reset from stock recovery.

i had the same problem, i tried backing up and it makes a backup folder and with everything but the md5 file. even though it says it cant mount /sdcard. it dose the same thing even when i try to backup to the extsd. i click report error, then before for rebooting it asked if i wanted to flash stock recovery i said yes. i went in to the market and got ez recovery and flashed the cwm that is in that program and did a back up with that and it worked. hoped i helped
Is it working for you?

thats the same cwm i recomended in my initial post...cwm 6.0.1.1 from ez- recovery.
Flashed instigator kernel onto chimera mod without explicitly checking to see if it would work (i know)
phone soft bricked
fixed using CWM, restored back up, but could not flash anything afterwards
error looks something like this
E:Can't open /sdcard/ROM/vincom/[rom name].zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Restored to stock using odin, reinstalled CWM but same error. Installed TWRP but same error
everything works perfectly fine but can't flash anything, same error for any flash
never seen this problem before, don't think its in this forum anywhere
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm on TWRP 2.2.0 right not, can't get back to CWM because of no flashing thing.
as far as i can see no format sd option on TWRP
is wipe SD the same as format on here?
Turn your phone off, then remove the SD card and plug it into your PC with an adapter. Format it from there. I've had better results that way.

Out of curiosity, what are/were you trying to flash?

Ya its like you are trying to flash the path to the rom instead of the rom itself. Is that error message showing up in the cwm ui or in the odin window on your pc?
If it's in odin.. You can't flash a zip file. You'll need to unzip the zip (7zip?) and flash the tar file inside if it is a odin type file. Otherwise flash the rom with cwm or better yet TWRP.

I'm not trying to flash a zip file in odin.
That appeared in CWMT 6.0.1.4, similar message appeared in TWRP.
In each case it has trouble opening the zip file containing whatever rom i'm trying to flash, doesn't matter the path, rom, sdcard, whatever.
pretty sure there's nothing wrong with any of the files or the sd cards, the phone just can't open a zip package from anywhere.
However, CWM worked, once, going from CWM 5 to CWM 6, only time it's done anything in a recovery.
I have attempted to flash multiple roms including cm9, cm10, superlite, and chimera, in CWM 5, CWM 6 sk8terwitskil's version, and TWRP 2.2.0
EDIT:
i had some luck with flashing a zip that just contained google now.
I noticed today that the sd card worked without my normal files on it (the zip was in the downloads folder) and the major difference that I see is before I restored the sd card files android.secure wasn't on the sd card.
I have android.secure on both the internal and external sd cards, (since restoring my original ext sdcard files) not sure if that's normal or not.
Should i just remove android.secure and see if it works? Can the phone do without it if that's not the problem?
is android secure supposed to be on both cards? My gut says no.
What the **** is android.secure anyway?
are zips that contain just apps or services like google now (non-wipe) fundamentally different from ROMs in some way that would let them flash but not the ROM zips?
Thanks to everyone who has responded and helped so far.
If anyone has answers to these questions I would appreciate it.
