[Q] Can't update ROM

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

This is what I did:
*Unzipped the gtab_tnt_lite_v4.10.rar to the root directory
*Reboot
*I hold power button + Vol
*Took me into recovery
*Chose apply sacard:update.zip
*Got the error message

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.

CWM ( EN )
1) Download the custom ROM copied to an external SD card root directory
2) Download the recovery.img ( put in your SD card )
3) Start MobileUncle Tools ( Download on Goolge play )
4) Select Update Recovery ( choose recovery.img )
5) Mobile reboot in CWM and follow the instructions( if recovery is in chinese look tutorial "CWM for MTK Platform" )
Into the recovery:
– Wipe Data / Factory Reset -> delete all user data
– Wipe Cache Partition -> Wipe cache
- Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Return to recovery main interface Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> Select your ROM
- Brush complete, restart the phone Patience required – first boot takes a while

Select the ROM you want to install and wait for the recovery to finish it's work. When the recovery options will appear, select restart to system. The phone will reboot, the first reboot will be long...
Mind that, when waiting for the first reboot, you must be in the rom bootanimation not in the starting lenovo text logo. If you stuck in the starting lenovo text see the thread for that bug/error.

I think it is translated version. Brush complete = Flashing process complete.
