I would try a different SD card or use the PC to format the card and then copy the rom to the SD and try to flash again.
This right here is the main reason I tell everyone to make sure to do a few hours of research before trying to flash anything to their phone.

I did a full wipe and i forgot to put in a CUSTOM ROM in the SD CARD..
what do I do!??! help
Don't quote me on this, but you should be able to put your SDcard in a card reader and put it on your card as PD98IMG.zip and Hboot will flash it.

Download the custom rom and place it on the sd card. Boot into recovery, do a full wipe, install custom rom.

This is true. I softbricked mine the other night pulling fonts around. Pull your sd card out and go to hboot. (you could leave it in if you DO NOT have a pd98img on your card) then reinstall after you get to recovery. As posted above you should still have your original rom on your sd card flash this if you don't have a cardreader. Good Luck!
where can I get this pd189.img
Download the ROM you want to your computer and rename it exactly to PD98IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your SDCARD. Hboot will automatically install it.

its easier to just put the rom on your sd card and boot into recovery..... Did you not make a nandroid back up? If you didn't then maybe that is something you might want to start making a habit of...
Get into recovery from hboot. There is an option in there to enable usb and you can use it like an flash drive like in android. Here are the steps.
1) boot into hboot (volume down then power button)
2) use the volume rocker to go to recovery
3) in recover scroll down to mounts and storage
4) scroll down to mount usb storage
This should allow you to view your sd card like u do in android when u select usb mode. From here you can put your rom on unmount and install. Good luck hope this helps.
I've found a lot of threads, but I need some pointed help up here. I just got my Sensation XE and like to root this device. But after the Revolutionary tool It got S-OFF but whenever it's getting into the HBOOT it likes to update (parse) the SD ZIP.
Can someone help me out how I can get into Recovery mode without getting the update question every time I get into HBOOT?
Hello,
you simply need to remove the zip file or rename its extension.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but once you're S-OFF you have to install Rom Manager that will download and flash the ClockworkMod Recovery for you.
Hope this helps
You're right... I just found out that it was searching the zip files and deleted the file! Stupid of Me...
I'll see if I can find a nice HTC Sensation Rom for the XE.
Thnxz

What's the software version on your phone

I got the same problem except i got a rom i cant use with the one i just installed, i need to get into recovery to install the new rom or my phone wont boot.. How do i get around to delete/rename the .zip?
Use a card reader and a SD card adaptor to delete/rename it with your computer.
Or take the SD card out and try to boot to Hboot, once in Hboot put the SD card back in and then select recovery. You can either just flash your ROM then or use the USB mass storage mode in recovery to delete/rename the file.

Thank you so much, havent even thought of that.
Hi All.
I'm new to this and trying to install my first rom (aiming for cynagenmod 7- it has the language support i need, or so they say)
I rooted my phone and followed a yourtube video titled "How To Install CyanogenMod 7 Nightly on T-Mobile G2x after Nandroid Backup"
When i get to the part where i need to install zip from sd card, i can't find the file. I went back and copied the zip file into a few different folders, and although i can locate the folders, it tells me that the file cannot be found.
How do i get around this? Your help is much appreciated.

How did you download it? Through rom manager or from the phones xda app, browser? Look in folders with xda or rom manager?? Next time just copy and paste it to the root of the sdcard, not in a folder.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Downloaded it on a computer and then copied it to sd card
and you can't find where you put it? did you place it in a certain folder already created... you can plug your phone in to pc then enter recovery mode, go to storage and mounts at the bottom select mount usb then copy the zip to your sdcard in no folders.
When i try to do that t tells me unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory).
From recovery mode there are some folders i can't see when i browse the folders on the computer when the phone is booted up normally - and vice versa. Is this an indicaiton of a problem?
Silly question: do you actually have an SD card inserted in your phone? If so, what did you use to format it?
i do have an sd, and i actually didn't format it. should i format? if so, what is the best way?
Your help is much appreciated

Did you try, while in recovery, taking the back off your phone, pop out the sd card, wait 1 second, then pop it back in?
Stupid question, but it's a mistake some beginners make, but did you unzip it by any chance? That could be a reason CWM isn't seeing it. Once you DL the ROM you need to leave it untouched. Then place on SD.
After that in CWM go to choose zip from sd.
And you attained CWM via NVFlash correct?

Maybe you accidentally copied it to internal memory instead of the sdcard. You can check in cwm under internal sdcard I believe is what it is called.
When you connect the phone through USB it mounts both internal and the sdcard.

My file explorer sees it in both the root and the folder I created in the root - both can't be seen in recovery mode.
Should i list the directories i see in both views?
In cwm are you selecting install zip from sdcard or install update from sdcard

you may have put it on the "internal sd card" instead of external sd card, however this is not an issue if you flash CWM 5.0.2.0 or later, it has an option to install zip from internal sd and external. i renamed my external sd card to avoid future confusion (otherwise i see two "removable disks" when i plug my phone into my computer)
Check your file names on your SD card. Check what you see listed in Recovery. If you see differing file names, then you're accessing the wrong memory.
I'm going to assume you tried booting with the physical buttons. Try booting with CWM which should give you a blue menu.
i did try to boot both ways and both times i did not find it... for the millionth time i took the sd card out and put it back in and rebooted using cwm, and funny enough, it found the direcotry... and yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, cynagenmod7 is my new rom
thanks for all your help, support and commiseration... really, much appreciated. i do ve a few more issues that i have to research now... again, external sd not found though... will probably solicit more help
again, thanks

Don't unzip the file. When you flash anything via clockwork, it flashes using .zip files.
I made a mistake during flashing ASUS-HYDRO 4.2-(8/2)-TF300/TF300tg. Everything went fine but I have put img in external card not in sd card. Now and I don't have image to instal in clockworth mode. What is worse pad don't start and I have start screen. What to do?
You made a mistake posting in the development section. You already posted this in general. Just wait for a response.

Install Android ADB (found in the SDK package, check Google if you need help to install).
Then, go to Install from sdcard menu once so it mounts the sdcard, then type on your computer:
adb push C:\myfile.bla /sdcard/
Go back and forth in the Install zip from sdcard menu and your file will be there.
Btw install twrp recovery and you won't have that problem because it uses external and internal sd card

Which phone are you talking about? Do you have internal / external sd? Stock recovery is not usable for flashing any custom zip files, for installing non-signed files, you'll need a custom recovery.
i am using galaxy core.i want to install philz touch custom recovery.zip but to do so i have to see that file which is on my internal sd. when i go to "apply update from sd card" i can see only one folder which redirects me to the main menu in stock recovery.and can u tell me why cant i see any folder of my sd card too. i have external sd card too

As I said, you can't install any custom zips using the stock recovery. You will need to flash PhilZ using ODIN first.
Is your phone a Samsuung GT-i8260 ?
my phone is GT-i8262. and i got u. recently i saw a video on youtube where a custom zip was installed using stock rom recovery. however i have odin and i know how to use it. but i am not sure if there are different version of recovery zip for different mobile.if it is or not can u please give me a link of philz touch recovery.tar for my phone.
