HI, I have rooted my Desire running stock official Froyo 2.2 and have backed up using nandroid in recovery.
I was trying to install Wake from trackpad/menu zips but clockworkmod does not allow me to flash it. I get the following message
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/menu-to-wake.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
the sdcard is fine.. Able to create/restore nandroid backups
the files are named xyz.zip and not xyz.zip.zip
I have the signature verification and script errors turned off
The zip file themselves are fine. I can open them from windows and can also extract in windows without any errors
Still i cannot flash the zip while no one else in the thread has reproted any issue in flashing it on their desire. Can someone please help on how to make the clockwork install the zip files??

Hi vpraveenis, I am just curious if you found a resolution for this? I have the same problem, admittedly for a different .zip but the same symptoms. I can flash other zips fine, the zip itself is fine as I can unzip on windows and md5's match, i have toggled the signature verifcation off and run file system checks to make sure my sdcard is ok. Still clockwork can not flash this 1 zip (leedroid) which hundreds of others have flashed fine. I am at my wits end, so if you found a solution to yours, I would be happy to hear it
Did you try to re-download that file again, it may be corrupted.

Yes, apologies I should have mentioned that. I downloaded it 4 different times, and all times the md5 checksums were fine. I even tried different methods of getting the file onto the card, incase there was a level of corruption there. I have used adb push, standard usb mount in windows, taking the card out and using the card reader in my PC, and using andFTP to download it from my ftp server directly to the phone.
I can only think it's a problem with my sd card, so i'm trying a new one now, taking a while to make it a gold card though.

Ok, I went and bought a brand new class 6 16gb lexmark sd card (my unknown class / unknown brand 32gb off ebay was causing me too many hassles anyway). I immediately partitioned it with gparted, then went through the goldcard process. Then dumped clockwork including my nandroid backups and leedroid rom onto there. Reboot into recovery and bam, still get the exact same error, bad zip.
I've also tried full factory wipe before hand. I also get the same error on the latest radio ROM from the leedroid guy's drop box. Not having much luck.
That's weird, Can you flash other zip file? :\
Maybe change to Amora Recovery will help?
Try Amon Ra or check if the ClockWork has "File Integration Verify" option and disable it. It should help. Some custom modifications do not pass through integrity verification at recovery state.
Regards
need some help- while trying to flash new leedroid rom get this message:
writing boot.img
assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img"."boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/LeeDroid_2.3d_A2SD.zip

is there a solution?

I couldn't get AmonRa up and running, tried using unrevoked or whatever to flash it on there, but just wouldn't complete. Clockwork is a fair bit easier since you can just copy on a file and name it update.zip and you are done.
In regards to other zips, it seems I can flash any "theme" based zip, just not any RUU zip such as new ROMs or radios. This probably implies my card is not a gold card, but I have been through the gold card process 3 times, all without fail, so I dunno why it wouldn't be one.
I've confirmed that I can flash these files from my 2gb gold card that I originally made. So there is definitely no zip corruption.
Edit: In case others stumble upon this, the solution for me was to scrap the partitions on my SD card and start over. I used the proper sdformatter from the official sdcard site to create a FAT partition using up the entire disk, then used gparted to resize that partition leaving 512mb at the end to fit my ext3 in there. The official sdcard formatter leaves 4mb of unallocated space at the start of the disk, I left this there as I didn't want to mess with it. Once my new partitions were setup, I can again flash ROMS from the sdcard. So although there was a proper FAT32 partition on there previously that seemed to be working fine, for some reason it wasn't.
Hi there i was just bobbing my self lmao because i had the same problem and dint backup or anything and i dint no wat to do, Buy... i found a solution.. I just put a different sdcard in my computer and put the rom on there whih i was trying to install then i placed that in my phone and then tryed and it worked..
my phones been down since last night been having weird issues trying to fix it and i think i bricked it, or possibly clockworkmod is corrupt, its stuck in Hboot,
heres what im looking at:
Supersonic EVT2-3 ship S-OFF
Hboot-0.97.0000

I can boot into CWM 3.0.0.5:
when i try to flash a freshly formatted SD with a rom on it i get
E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)

However i can mount USB storage and see it on my mac, i can reformat it in disk utility no issues.
when i go to reboot it out of CWM i get gabled horizontal lines. then back to hboot.

I'll Try to get eclipse installed and set up now but if anyone knows anything please post it up
bump
my phones still down, i have eclipse installed now and updated with the abd-plugin
but now i cant find the resource to replace the recovery from fastboot, please help i need a phone lol.
What format did you format your SD card in?
It's basically an easy fix. Just format your SD card to the proper format and load this zip on to your SD cards root. Just rename it to PC36IMG.Zip
http://db.tt/uo4mOhh
When in bootloader, it will find the zip. When it asks you, select yes (Vol up) when its done, select no. (vol down) reboot in recovery and flash your Rom.

Rename this file to PC36IMG.zip and put it in the root directory of your sd card. Boot into hboot and install this from hboot. It will install aman ra recovery. Once it is installed and you can successfully enter recovery, then reinstall the rom of your choice. Clockworkmod recovery is hit or miss these days and should be avoided. You are using the wrong version of clockwork anyway with your phone it should be the 2.6.0.1 version of clockwork.
Still stuck
sorry guys but im still stuck what i did was hboot/recovery.
once in recovery i put the pc36IMG.zip file into the root folder (using USB STORAGE in storage and mounts) of the freshly formatted (MS-DOS FAT32) 32gb SD
reboot, weird horizontal lines back to hboot, when it initially loads i get:
SD checking....
loading PC36DIAG.zip
No image!
loading PC36DAIG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
loading PC36IMG.zip
No image!
loading PC36IMG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
same with hboot usb when i select at bottom.
grr i need a phone what do i do to flash the new recovery?
i should say i believe this crash happend after running the formatAll.zip
bump to the top
because my phone is important to me and its still broke. im not seeing any viable solutions
Looks like either you put the file in the wrong place or you didn't rename it right.
Make sure you put it directly on the root of your SD card. This means it should NOT be in any file folder.
Also make sure the name is correct. It should read PC36IMG.zip
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk
hmmm im pretty sure its screwed because
A) Under mount USB storage, my Evo shows up on the desktop. to make sure its cleaned and there isn't anything hidden in there I simply open Disk Utility, click on the partition "EVO" go to erase and format to ms DOS fat (formats to fat32)
B)tried both files which where both RA 2.2.1 and renamed the files "PC36IMG.zip" (just as shown). Once renamed i draged the file into the now freshly formatted SD Card, no folders just the "/" (root) like i always do, then rebooted.
got the same error.
Do you have a memory card reader? I had a problem when trying to format while in the phone.

good idea
yes my hackintosh netbook has one, and ill do that right now just to make sure, i never had any of these issues until i updated to clockwork from RA 2.2.2, WHY??????
Clockwork sucks. That simple.

Your on a mac... do not rename the file 36IMG.zip it's already a zip file.... sometimes you can name it XXX.zip.zip and it will not work

You r Right. I think he named it PC36IMG.zip.zip. Just rename the file PC36IMG & boot into bootloader. If the file is named right hboot will see it.
Swyped from CM7 from XDA app.
Actually...
I renamed the ra.zip to pc36IMG.zip, give me a little credit I know about renaming file extensions, btw I fix it by
Formating it through the sd slot, then repartitioned the format as a master boot record becuase by default it was formatting in GUID. I believe this is why a android couldn't read it.
I have ROM Manager Premium v4.3.1.2
When I trying to make ROM backup, phone go to reboot, start ClockworkMod Recovery and show me this error:

Why this is happening?
What is the SD Card marker?
With this ROM Manager I cannot create backup, cannot create partiton to my card.... always show me similar error...
If you rooted with unrevoked you should be doing this manually. I've seen too many errors due to Rom manager since unrevoked came about
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Rom Manager is just damn right gay anyway.
Punched in..
I recently decided I don't need ROM manager. I do my back up accessing recovery via long pressing the power button. Your phone should have a built in recovery by now if I am not mistaken. Try to use that recovery to do a backup.
Sent from my HTC Desire
+1 on the manual backup
ROM Manager is way too buggy and can cause all sorts of issues. One forum is actively advising people to not use it under any circumstances.
+1 to all of those. Un-install ROM Manager and never install it again. Do everything manually
Yes, I rooted with Unrevoked..
Thanks for answers
hey i'm quite new to this, but i recently rooted my phone via revolutionary and installed clockworkmod i have an htc evo 4g 2.3.3 and i followed the steps to installing a rom i installed kingdom rewind 3d rls2 it was running perfect i enjoyed it alot, so i decided to try another rom to see how it would run(which i didn't like) Now everytime i try to go and install kingdom rewind it says this
Finding update package...

can anyone help me?
is the ROM on the root of the SD card?
Could be a bad download. Try re-downloading the rom and flash again. Are you fully wiping everything? Also, I would recommend using Amon Ra recovery because many people have had problems using clockworkmod.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
okay i'll try amon ra, but i do have a question my mac reformatted my sd card i still have a restore saved on my computer of the oringal 2.3.3 but is there anything i should have on my sd card beside the zip of the rom to install it? like is there a file or something i'm missing for clockworkmod
scottypeterson is right, use RA.
For the new ROM:
Load New ROM to ROOT of SD Card | Format Tool)
Boot into RA recovery
Flash Format tool (Calkulins Format All | VR Superwipe)
-Or just use RA to wipe everything, once or twice)
Flash ROM
Reboot
As for your Backup Rom, if it was created by Clockworkmod, then just load the backup folders to the SD card, and do a restore from within Clockworkmod.
If your gonna start all over you might as well partition your sd card after you download the recovery and get that straight,most of the newer roms will eventually use all of the partitions including the swap partition.Heres the link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386911 ,this link will help with most of your problems.
finally figured it out... my Mac unzips roms when i download them and for whatever reason when i compress it into a zip file it basically puts a file inside of a zip... so the recovery couldn't find all of the files in the zip to start the installation.. such an easy fix thanks everyone who tried to help me!
Hi guys,
I've just formatted my 2gb SD card for my HTC desire using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I've made 450mb as FAT (primary) and the rest as ext4 (logical). For some reason, my rom (MIUI_Au-Desire-1.10.8) doesn't think there's an SD card in the phone. I've tried taking the card in and out, same thing.
I've since re-formatted it to Fat32 and ext4 with the same thing. It isn't showing up.
When I go into recovery and mount the USB there no USB storage comes up on my PC. When I try to select 'mount SD card' I get an error saying
Error mounting SDCARD:!
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(invalid argument)
I've got clockworkMOD Recovery v2.5.0.7 and I've tried putting ext4recoveryupdater but when I've tried installing it through Androidflasher.exe it says I need an ENG Bootloader.
I'm completely stuck and don't know what to do. I started all this because I wanted to install Runny ROM v5.1 and Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.3_Special_Edition, but once I ran the aroma installer, it basically frooze at the boot logo. So I figured I needed a larger ext4 partition.
So yea, any help on this would be GREAT. I'm starring at this post for replies on where to start from scratch.
Thanks for reading,
Raddest
edit: oh yea, so the only way I can 'see' the SD card is when I select 'mount USB' from the recovery.
Are you s-off?
Have you followed the guides on here to get s-off?
Just when you say you got CWM is it installed or you've got the .img for androidflasher? As aroma wont work with a non touch based recovery.
4extrecoveryupdater should be a apk and cannot be flashed by androidflasher, its meant to be installed on a rooted s-off phone.
I recommend reading the guides again and getting s-off, then installing 4ext recovery updater to get the 4ext touch based recovery; and using that recovery to partition your SD card
Edit: sorry if you've got CWM installed then all you need to do is get a 4ext touch based recovery .img and flash it with android flasher. I remember that they're a bit harder to find on the website.
The error message is probably from you trying to flash a .apk instead of a .img file
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Yep, I'm currently working on getting S-Off as my phone's S-On.
I've used the ext4 apk, but when it downloads and tries to flash the recovery from my rom it doesn't work. No matter what. So when it doesn't work it stores 2012-03-15-22.03_recovery.img onto my SD card (when the SD card worked).
So now I think I should concentrate on getting s-off. If I get s-off. But how will I install ext4 from my rom if I can't load my SD card?
edit: formatted the whole card to primary fat32. So if I get s-off and run ext4recovery will it flash the recovery fine?
edit 2 (just read your edit) I've already used androidflasher to try and put that 4ext img as the recovery, it says I need an ENG bootloader (or HBOT I can't remember).
No, you also need to be rooted to install a recovery from the app.
So either get root, or push the .img file from androidflasher once it fails from the app. And is on the sd card transfer it to your pc.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Yep, I've already installed the .img from ext4, android flasher says I need an ENG bootloader.
Yeah just get s-off and you should be fine.

Cool thanks. I'm just looking to see if there's a simple way to get S-off.

If all works remember to backup your current rom with 4ext before flashing

Ok, basically burnt Alpharev to a CD, booted from the CD and used that. I got S-off fine, no problems at all. After that, booted back into miui and flashed the recovery using ext4. From ext4 I partitioned my SD card to have 800mb FAT32 and the rest ext4. Installing Runny AIO. See how I go...
All good, with alpharev to thank mainly. Was really made easy.
