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.

Recovery Fails To Load any file from SD Card

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!

[Q] Energy ROM install faild

Hi,
I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G with Clockwork Recovery installed, I tried to install the Energy ROM following the steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290300
I've followed the steps carefully and the installation fails...
In the instructions post says: use the download link in post #3, I've downloaded the file twice and verified the MD5 with MD5 Checker and are different...
The error message when installig says:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/Energy_11.23.2011.EVO4G.zip (bad)
Installation aborted.
Any help?
Thanks in advance...

copy the rom again to your sd card and if it says the same thing try redownloading

*** ( solved ) ***
Thanks for answering...
After a lot of searching I have solved the problem, formatting the sd card in fat32 format on my pc, copying again the zip rom and when I tried again to install it and no problem
Thanks!
(I've downloaded the lastest version of the ROM Energy 11.23.2011)

Not able to flash roms

Since this morning I'm not able to flash roms in ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.2.0.0 (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150)
I get this message:
-- Installing: /sdcard/aokp_wingray_build-25.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/aokp_wongray_build-25.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
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.
