I have a HTC Desire GSM, I have follwed Linkslovesandroids guide for Noobs on how to root the device all the way through to adding a custom ROM with no problems however when I try a new ROM I get the above error. I have tried various ROM's I have renamed the file to update.zip, checking that windows has not named it as update.zip.zip. I have recreated the partition on the SDCARD using gparted all other stps in the guide were successful I cannot see what I am doing wrong, I am a noob so obviously doing something wrong, can anybody help please? This was an excellent guide form Linkslovesandroid but it is frustrating being so close and not able to load a custom ROM, my ophone is back to factory defaults very uncool.
redownload and reextract again will fix maybe with an another dl link or version
I have tried with several different ROM's but it always comes up with the the same error, it's so frustrating to be so close and still not able to complete the task.
thanks

Hi Guys.. I have a Dell Streak 5 ... and I have the same issue...
I have not been able to install the new 1.9.1 rom =(
I have tried everything that I know... but it did not work.
I created the install.txt file, and I downloaded (in different ways) the update-1.9.1.zip file. I use StreakDroid and I face the error:
-- Installing: SDCARD:update.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted.
Any help is welcome !!!! Thank you guys =)
Delete the ROM in your PC then redownload again, rename to update.zip and put it in your phone's SD Card.
Is your phone rooted? if so, disable signature verification in recovery. Also are you trying to upgrade to Gingerbread?
try manually directing the phone to the file (by using install zip from sdcard instead of apply update from sdcard)
I am also having this issue, can someone give a solution?
Cwm version you use some? or update from the original !
hi...
I have the same problem, but I'm trying to back from ICS to GB...
I've also tried installing another ICS but the same problem... What happens also when I try to restore my backups, it also gives me error that goes like 'MD5 mismatch'...
Does anyone knows what might be the problem..?
thanks
i have the same problem

i changed my cwm . buy it didn't work !!!!
I think that your problem is due to Recovery not validatng signatures on your update.zip files. I have CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 and there is an option to toggle signature verification.

I have the same problem and have toggled signature verification on and off. It makes no difference. Keeps saying Install aborted.
Been at it for 2 days now. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Solution: (Bad) Installation Aborted & Error mounting /sd-ext!
I, using HTC Wildfire S (Marvel) S-Off, had the exact same problem.
Had tried almost everything, & was now even unable to flash the Roms previously flashed to this Device. (Tried All Sorts of Wiping!)
It all suddenly happened, after I forced the "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img" into the device (With "Wildfire_S_CWM_Recovery"),
& partitioned my SD with fat32 & some ext3/4 (Don't quite remember!), due to the reason that I was currently using "update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-03_29_2012", (The Unofficial CyanogenMod) which didn't have any Google Market (Google Play), & was not even accepting APK Installations (Unknown sources Checked!), & had a previous version of Rom Manager (Unable to update), with the old ClockworkMod Recovey in it. (...Some 5.0.0.2 version).
(And It wasn't even able to boot into the Recovery after Flashing to this CyanogenMod Rom!)
(Tsk Tsk Tsk ... Now I was unable to flash any Rom! & became Rom Less, on this device, for that Moment.)
(Tried Se7en Different Roms, including Stock Rom "PG76IMG_Marvel_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed")
(But recieved the same Errors on all of 'em)
Without Toggling any Signature Verification, I recieved the following!
Installing /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-03_29_2012.zip
Finding update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-03_29_2012.zip

The Solution! (Discovered by Logic & Experimenting) . . .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Note: Must Use SDcard of size larger than 2 GB!)
First Reformat the SDcard with "SD Formatter", the following way:-
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download & Install "SD Formatter".
Use SDcard Reader to connect your SDcard to your Computer (If Possible),
Run "SD Formatter", (It should automatically detect your connected SDcard!)
Select Format Option & Choose the Following:-
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Format Type: Full (Overwrite),
& Format Size Adjustment: ON!
(Once formatting is done, your SDcard would show its actual Size!)
(Note: This is a solution within itself, to Revive the Fasle (Lunix) Partitioned SDcards that windows is unable to Read Or Detect!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, Reformat the SDcard to Fat32 with Windows!
After this 2nd Format, Copy the desired Rom (* .Zip) back into the SDcard!
Now Mount this SDcard to your Device (& Reboot into Recovery!).
Then Install the Rom with "ClockworkMod Recovery".
(This should work fine, & if Not*, then your Rom is Corrupt or Mismatched!)
Once the Device boots up successfully, & everything starts Operating, Switch Off the Device!
Unmount the SDcard, & Create an ext3 partition (of any size, but Not greater than 2048 MB!),
for extending the Internal memory of the Device!, with any Software e.g. "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition".
(Some Roms Require Certain Partitioning, but Remember Never to Partition before Installing/Flashing & successfully Booting Up the Rom!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*Still, If Something doesn't feel right, Just Manually Flash/Install your 'Boot.img' from the Rom (* .Zip)(after formatting your SDcard with the Process mentioned above), by using "AndroidFlasher" & Then you just might be able to Flash/Install your Rom from the ClockworkMod Recovery . . !

Google N1 Nexus One => SD card formatting => CyanogenMod 7.2
This was a very important step for me, after like 4+ hrs of tearing my hair out.
I had this N1 (Google's originally sold only online) Nexus One that I'm planning to use for whatev.
I did the bootloader unlock using the latest(downloaded on Nov 02 2012) SDK's fastboot oem unlock command.
After failing with the ClockworkMod ROM (probably the same reason due to the SD card), I've tried the Amun_Ra recovery + ROM, which is basically the same.
But, kept failing with the zip file opening during the ROM flashing. Made no sense, as the card was visible, the ROM zip checked out.
However, the SD card came from my Samsung GSII, and was formatted in that device.
Then I bumped into this suggestion, found another SD card and formatted it with the Mac version of SD Formatter (from sdcard dot org).
This is only relevant for those that would venture into using CGM on an N1, like me.
It's possible and not that complicated, but some of these tricks can come into play, like this card formatting.
I had this issue too, and realised it was a result of removing the sdcard from my pc before the zip was completely copied. Ouch!
Copied over the new zip, safely removed hardware and waited until it was finished solved the issue.
too late the answer but may help others

I formatted with that programm and I can´t access to the SD card from the computer and from the mobile phone.
What did I do wrong? I followed all the steps propperly.
I have a Motorola Xoom MZ601 UK WiFi+3G and have rooted with Clockworkmod v5.8.3.1 and installed new roms successfully up to now.
However, I cannot go any further as the sdcard will not mount. I have tried all that I can think of, like formating the sdcard, unmount/mount, partition it, etc.
The operating system shows the card there along with the contents. I have tried different sdcards and they are all visible from the OS but not from the recovery program.
What should I do now? Do I need to re-install clockworkmod recovery again.
(Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, I have tried to search for answers but have failed to find any) This seems to have been an old problem, solved with an upgrade which 5.8.3.1 exceeds.
Problem solved
OK, Problem solved.
The last resort was to reload the clockworkmod image using adb.
Everything is fine now, the sdcard mounts OK.
Good morning, after searching and installing a lot of Clockworkmod Recovery for my tf101g B90, i've always the same error :
Can't mount sdcard - Error mounting sdcard
I installed as shown in forum Clockworkmod using RecoveryInstaller.apk that install v 3.2.0.1 roarch2010-tf101-r1.
I've not used Rom manager as shown in forum ( i did this, but i read the forum, so i delete all)
What is the right apk to install a working Clockworkmod, that allow me to install/backup from my sdcard ?
Thanks to all !
Gabriele

I have this error since today. Befor installs I never had this problem. I didn't install a new ClockworkMod Recovery since rooting. Only the roms I changed.
Edit: Now it's working. With a 16GB card it's working. 64GB not.
Not to meta-mod, but this is really stuff you should post in Q&A or general.

Format your card for FAT32.
For a 64 GB card you need to use a 3rd party utility
Probs with TWRP Recovery - not recognized Ext SD + Auto quit & booting to Android sys
Hi, I am having following problems with TWRP on my i9082 - Stock 4.2.2. I did a stock factory reset first. And then installed TWRP using Odin.
Note:My phone is rooted, using SUv2.65.
1) TWRP 3.0 + all versions. I have tried every version till the latest 3.02, but with every 3.0 and higher version, my external SD Card is not detected... Though Android System can detect the SD Card, and read and write files to it.
2) If I use TWRP 2.8.6 tar installed using Odin, then it reads the SD Card, but gives this message E:Unknown File System: 'datamedia' .
If I ignore that message, and try backing up my Stock ROM, then in about half a minute, it automatically reboots into Android system, and the Backup is not created...
Hence I am not able to create any Backup.
Could somebody please help. I can't understand that error. And also can't understand why higher versions of TWRP (which do not have this error), cannot detect the SD Card
But in every version, I cannot stop TWRP automatically quitting and the Phone booting into Android in less than a minute. I even disabled Screen timeout... Doesn't help!

Hi johnsamshri
You just posted this same help request at the correct Forum and, as so, you should wait a couple of day for replies and, if you are not addressed, please report back to us.
Nice regards and good luck.
THREAD CLOSED.

Hello all, when I updated my shield k1 to v5.0 I ran across a problem. First, when i first updated the system did not recognize my adopted storage(128gb sandisk micro sd) and I had to reformat it as internal. after that, I had to reflash TWRP and SuperSU. After that, I can no longer access my data from within twrp and receive a message along the lines of "unable to mound decrypted storage device" this is a big problem because I can only flash things if i move them to a usb or the root folder of my device. I have done some searching on the internet but have not been able to find any solutions. If anyone else is having or had this problem, it would be great to know how to fix it. Thanks for the help ahead of time. I would be happy to provide any additional information needed or wanted to assist with this problem.
I'm having the same issue on the original Nvidia Shield Tablet.
you encrypted your internal sd?
and it is not "default_password"?
if you have another SD card try it with it.
what you want to do. If there are no data you will backup you can try to format (not wipe) data and boot Android again.
reboot to TWRP and try again if it will mount.
But here are a TWRP thread where you could ask these questions.
I dont know what happened here but I had the same thing. If anyone comes here via Google or Search, flashing this TWRP Version fixed my issue https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71877863&postcount=427
I dont know what exactly is happening but the Stock Recovery cant mount the Card either. I can only assume it is a Bug somehow?

Good catch! I was running TWRP 3.1.1.0 and it wouldn't detect my adopted storage at all. I test booted the twrp you linked (fastboot boot recovery.img) and it worked fine, even though it's an older version of TWRP. So then I went ahead and flash it. Thanks!
