Ok..so I've been using HTC explorer for 2-3 months and everything was going fine but the low internal memory kept bugging me so I rooted the phone (i delayed rooting because it voids warranty..)..I deleted the pre installed apps and all other unnecessary crap..but the internal memory was still low so I went for factory reset..:|..and thats how you get into bootloop but searching for solutions..i found that my problem can be solved by flashing new rom..so I downloaded 1 and flashed it (yes i followed all the steps like creating ext4 partition and wiping cache etc).. but suddenly 'can't open /sdcard/*rom*.zip (bad)' popped up..so I went through the forums but didn't found any approved solution but suggestions like re downloading the rom..or checking if signature verification is off or flashing any other rom..i tried all of them..i retried re downloading the rom..I tried flashing cm 9..explode^1..Jaggyrom..even the stock rom but nothing positive happened..I am clueless..Please Help...
What recovery did you flashed, another thing, try with another sd card, or repartiotion this one through recovery after that get some rom on it. If you have a card reader, check if the card is ok.
And don't rename zip's live them with their original names.

i flashed with A310e recovery...and the card is fine..I read somewhere to format the card with sdformatter and flash the rom from there and create the partition after the rom has booted..so i am trying that..I'll update you..thnx for reply btw.. :highfive:
Try installing CM10 Beta 2 on a clean, unformatted sd.
If that doesn't work, change your recovery.
Working fine
everything's alrite now..the thing that was causing the problem was the partitioned sd card...I removed partition and then flashed it and everything went well...:laugh:

hey guys and girls, hopefully you can help me out.
I'm using a t-mobile galaxy S, trying to flash a new rom after I rooted it. I followed the instructions, and I have CWM able to load. when I got into select the install from the SD card, I'm able to select the file (trying bionix frost), it tries to load it, but then comes back telling me 'Can't mount /sdcard' and any subsquent attempts to even browse for the install zip give me the same error. I can boot the phone into the rooted stock image, access anything on the SD card there fine, copy files to it, etc, but CWM will not install the ROM's or keep the /sdcard mounted.
anyone here run into this issue? I'm using CwM Voodoo lagfix Recovery 3.0.2.8x
It's been awhile since I flashed that ROM...
Did you change the mounts manually? Does the OP say to change mounts? Back then we had to change the mounts ourselves in CWM to UMMU.
I'm at work and just sending a quick reply..check the OP to see what your mounts should be
to clarify a bit, this isn't just on a specific ROM, this is for ANY rom I try, after I access any ZIP file through CWM, it unmounts the SD Card and won't let me get back to it unless I reboot, and the cycle repeats.
Ok. Sorry I can't help you with that. I'm still kinda new.
I'm sure you'll get the help you need soon especially with your last reply.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be of help.
I'm backing up and will format my SD card to see if this is the problem, saw this fixed a couple of errors like this for other peeps.
So since I couldn't get CWM to install the rom, I used ODIN and flashed to gingerbread. that's installed and working (had it fail the first time, but the 2nd installed and was up inside 10 minutes)
Just unlocked using EZ. I'm running cwm 6.0.1.0 and the lk_aosp_jb_beta-v0.5 kernel. I am coming from stock rom I wiped data/cache/dalvik. I reboot come to the CMX cyanogenmod 10 boot animation screen and it just sits there with the screen flashing every few seconds.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong or what is going on. I'm using the 20120817-UNOFFICIAL cm10 rom. Id also like to note upon backing up roms I've been getting "Unable to find mounted volume /sdcard" "Error finding an appropriate backup handler" I try mounting the internal sdcard in cwm but it doesn't do anything, I can mount and unmount everything else. Please help me out?
Edit: I'm going to flash beans8 so I can check my external sdcard is formatted in FAT32
ReEdit: Still no luck. Any advice?
I think your best bet is to copy everything off of your sdCard and reformat it (Fat32 of course). Are you running the on-kexec CWM also?

Have you ODIN back to stock or rooted stock ?
plus /mnt/sdcard is the internal card /mnt/extSdCard is your external card

I was using the CWM 6.0.1 that was posted a few days ago for the kexec stuff. I was going to update to the latest official cmw but have not as of yet. I used EZ to flash the CWM I have now so I don't really know?

I had ODIN back to stock and then ran adam's CASUAL to root and unlock
I took all the info off my SD card last night formatted both through CWM and will give this another go with the new nightly build today. It was strange, with my external SD card mounted in the phone last night plugged into USB on my PC it listed both the internal and external as General hierarchy File systems. But when I pulled out the microSD and put it into my card slot adapter it showed it as a FAT32 card. I'm puzzled but either way I reformatted it to FAT32 and popped it back in the phone. Then I formatted the internal via CWM. Like I said I'll try it again in a few after I make some backups and titanium my stuff.
Just tried again. Still stuck on the boot animation screen. Everything is as it should be according to everything I've read.
EDIT: Finally got it. I flashed liquid and then flashed the new nightly over that after clearing data/cache/dalvik.
I had issues with the last CWM release so I decided to try TWRP. I use Rom toolbox Pro to get into recovery and wiped all to flash a new rom. Problem arose when I went into" Install" program of TWRP, I could not find my SD files. I change from root to SD card and only saw twrp, cwm and upper level. I tried many ways , but could not get to the files in my SD card. Any help would be appreciated...
Check in /data/media
If your stuff isn't there its gone. If you don't have any ROM zips and you have already wiped system you will need to setup and use ADB to push one.

Have you tried formatting your SD Card with an external card reader, then loading the files?

I tried an earlier version of TWRP and my SD card popped up fine in the Install section. Maybe it's me.... but I dunno the latest versions of recoveries CWM and Twrp have had bad sections....
Hi,
I can't mount the SDcard in any recovery. The strange thing is that I CAN acces the card in the OS(Maximus HD) using ESfile explorer, and I CAN acces the card when connected with USB to my PC.
So at this moment, I can't flash anything anymore..
I have S-OFF and running Maximus HD. It happend when I tried to flash another ROM. The installation went fine but after the installation there was only 47 MB left as phone storage the rest was ''other''.
I couldn't fix it, so I wiped the rom, formatted the SD card so I had a clean start to try another ROM.
After this, the pc recognized the SD card as only 47 MB(total size). This was a problem, I couldn't reinstall a new ROM because there was not enough space..
I fixed this using ADB sideload and pushed the MaximusHD rom back to my phone. This worked and so at this point my phone is running fine, all the storage is back But as I said, I can't flash anything anymore
I tried different recovery's but they all say, can't mount /sdcard/.
Anyone ideas?
Thanks Allready!

You need to go back to the older firmware to run other ROMs
See this thread

I just brought mine back to stock again yesterday again as a matter of fact.
Doing the 2nd way I posted in that thread.

Hi, I've been trying to hunt down an answer to my problem with no avail, hopefully someone here can help. I've a rooted Huawei y300 0100 back on factory stock again.
My problem is this after I rooted (went fine first time doing this) installed TWRP created backups, Flashed Fusion x rom no problems at all, found a few bugs thought I would try another ROM, restored my stock from twrp saved backups all good I thought...
Upon re entering recovery everything is fine, factory wipe etc then when it comes to installing any ROM I get the message E: cannot open zip. This happens on any ROM I try, so I know its not the file, file can also be opened on PC and phone explorer.I've formatted the external SD card and re-downloaded ROMs still nowt.
I would just use the stock again and run a new launcher and delete the bloat myself but I can't get Orbit working at all now I'm rooted and back on factory stock when it was working fine on fusionx and orbit/Pandora are pretty much what I did all this for
Any ideas would be appriecated as I'm pretty noobish at this.
Would installing cwm over the top of twrp work?
Do I need to do a special kind of wipe in case of file corruption?
Solved, after some fiddling got flashing working again. What worked for me was to redownload the file direct to internal SD and flashing from there. Downloading anywhere else ie PC or ext SD and copying across still gave same error. Not sure why but I've flashed 3 ROMs today without issue this way. Hope this helps anyone else who encounters this.

Yay!

ABSOLUTELY confirmed. I was trying it for days. After finding this post, direct downloading to sdcard worked for me.

yeeah... thank you bro
I also had problems with "unable to open zip file" and "bad" errors, seemed to be fixed by formatting a spare 4gb MicroSD to FAT and making sure it was the first thing copied to the SD card. I was using PHILZ recovery, but I'd assume that TWRP will work just as well. I have a suspicion it may have something to do with file fragmentation or maybe allocation block size. Before this I checked MD5SUMs on a few MicroSD cards and they were all perfect, so it wasn't a download or copy corruption, the bootloader just has an issue with the file or filesystem for some reason.
Can confirm. Was having trouble installing Boeffla 3.0 kernal on gnabo 4.4.2 (v8). ( samsung galaxy note 10.1 n801x / n8013 )
Deleted the zips I downloaded, then re-downloaded straight to zip. installed like a boss!
Thanks!
This is a most underrated thread.
Just had the same issue with my old Galaxy S3. Needed to copy the zip directly to internal storage via mtp in twrp.
In newer twrp version it shows zip file corrupt instead of unable to open zip.
