Gapps won't show up in recovery, or it won't show up on the sdcard at all even with a file manager? I would try redownloading it and then see if it will show up
If its just not showing up in recovery maybe sdcard isn't mounted...if that's the case go into recovery, go to mounts and storage, then mount sdcard...hope that helps

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

You have the standard recovery. If you're on Froyo and you followed the steps in that post, then when you boot into 3E recovery (yellow letters) go to "Reinstall packages" (I think...something similar). When you do that, it'll come back up into CWM.
IN RECOVERY IM GETTING BLUE LETTERS..
IT SAYS THAT CANT OPEN ZIP SAYS THERE IS NO SUCH FILE
VIBRANT WAS SO MUCH EASIER
Did you place the update.sip on the root of your sd card?
If so choose update.zip
then reinstall packages
I think it's been I long time. And are you on froyo or GB?
Stephan ..much thanks the only thing i had to do was reinstall packages..
So got pass that part now why when i try to install rom it tells me that..
Cant mount/ sdcard/download/bionix_frost_sgs4g.zip(team whiskey rom)

I've seen a lot of threads lately about not being about the mount the sdcard. I don't know off-hand what the fix is, though. The best thing I can suggest is to search the forums for "can't mount sdcard" and see if you can find a fix.
Best of luck.
You never answered. Froyo or GB? Bionic Frost is a Froyo Rom. We need to figure out what you are on before we can really help.

I'm on froyo..I'm stuck..just thinking of just Odin a Tom but I really want to try the team whiskey..any suggestions?
Maybe a factory reset? I'd have to look through the other threads about the sdcard issue. I've been fortunate enough to not have run into it.

Yeah, keep me posted. Sorry you're having so much trouble. I wish I had better insight into why.
I wonder if you put the sdcard into the PC via a card reader, backed up the contents, then re-formatted it (FAT32), if it would make a difference?
Stephan thanks alot for helping but nothing tried to format and with new card with same issue..I've looked have found other threads with same issue but no answer...not sure what to do...any help or other options would be appreciated

I looked for an answer before posting but couldn't find it and hoping someone can help out. I rooted my rogers skyrocket and installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I am trying to install a new ROM but when I boot in recovery I cannot see the .zip file on the SD Card but I can see it in file manager. Any ideas or solutions?
Is the zip on the external or internal SD?
rocketed to da sky using mah brain and mah thumbs...
If on internal u have to select install from internal

Its on the external card.
Is it on the root of external sdcard? Excuse me for asking the obvious question but a lot of times its something silly that's been overlooked.

Yes, its on the root of the external SD card but I can only see the folders and no other files.
Look at the file format. Make sure its .zip and not .zip.zip. sometimes copying files from your computer to your phone will do this.

Its .zip and not .zip.zip but I am only seeing it in the file manager or on the computer when the phone is connected but in CWM all I see is the folders of the SD card and no other file.
This is really starting to piss me off, I downloaded about 5 different roms and none of them is showing on the SD card in CWM recovery in order to install. Is there any other way to install the ROM or anything I could do to see the files in CWM? I am sure the .zip file is on the SD card and I can see it when i file manager but once I go into CWM to install I cant see it. If anyone had this problem and has a way to fix it please let me know. Thank you.
I think I found a way to do it and its through Rom manager, there is an option to install ROM from SD card I clicked it and now i think its installing. Hope it works. I'll post my results in case someone has the same problem.
Solved the problem. I can only flash new ROM from ROM manager.
Try flashing cwm again or flash touch cwm.

Hello XDA Developers,
First off let me say thank you for all the information always found on your forums, however I've run into a snag with my phone (HTC EVO Shift 4g) and need some help. I was doing a factory reset of my device using the tool in the Clockwork Mod Recovery (v5.0.2.0) and I went to wipe some additional data off my SD card, and inadvertently chose to format the /system, and pretty much every directory in the storage menu, which I later realized I probably shouldn't have done as now I can't get my phone to boot. Where the snag falls into here, I had made a backup of all my data on my SD card but have misplaced my full backup made through the clockwork mod. When I try booting my phone it simply comes up with the white boot screen with the "htc" logo in green. I have tried about everything I could possibly think of to get my shift working again, since it won't fully boot, the only option I've been able to try have been trying to get a ROM to install from a .zip, but I keep running into errors, did I manage to wipe out some sort of critical data when I did those formats?? Any help you guys can offer me will be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thank you in advance for your expertise and input on this.
NOTE: I have tried to download one of the STOCK RUU's that you guys have posted, I have yet to find one that will actually download or resolve my issue!
Sounds like you wiped and formatted everything.. Including your sd card.
Download a ROM to your pc - In clockwork go to mounts and storage - plug your phone into your pc and select mount usb. Transfer the ROM onto your sd card, unmounted your sd, wipe then flash.

Alright man all that happened was when you hit format system, you wiped the ROM from the phone, so download any ROM of choice go into recovery then mount as a storage device and transfer the ROM to the SD card, unmount then format system,data,cache and dalvik cache and flash the ROM and you will be fine

Ok but does anyone have a stock RUU Rom I can download to do this? I'd kind of like to revert to stock in this process and I can't find one that works properly, thanks!

I'm pretty sure you're going to have to load the ROM from internal storage. You might be able to read the external SD in recovery but writing from there has been affected.
