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..

perhaps something was corrupted in the copying process over to your new card. try putting the zip (verified not corrupt, check the md5) on again.
also verify that you are not putting on a file named something.zip.zip
if you have file extensions hidden in windows, and it still says .zip, that means you have a file with an extra .zip on the end of it.
Hi guys. I hate to open an old thread, but figured it was the lesser of 2 evils with the other option being to create a new one.
I am suffering the same problem as the OP, with the slight difference that my issue is solely related to the leedroid rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
I can safely flash all my nandroid backup roms from clockwork, I can flash the modaco r9 rom i had on there previously. I can flash all the themed zips I have downloaded in anticipation of getting leedroid up and running (they don't work make any difference to my existing rom due to not having leedroid, but they flash fine and then i nandroid after since I was just flashing them to check flashing was working).
The issue is when i try to flash leedroid it just says bad zip. I've downloaded it 4 times, both direct from dropbox and via torrents. I've checked with md5 checker and it's fine. I've unzipped it myself to verify the integrity. I've renamed it to remove the period thinking it might be an extension issue. I've toggled the check signature setting thing. I've run a full file system check on the fat32 partition of my sdcard, i've let it do a full bad sector scan. I'm literally out of ideas.

If you get the message: “Can’t Open /sdcard/******.zip (bad)” when installing:
-Extract the SD, format in computer(fat32)
-copy the .zip in fresh sd
-boot with xRecovery and install.
-reboot
-(may be you get a frozen boot, so do:
-reboot with xRecovery
-wipe full reboot
-Everything’s ok!!
Do extract the SD Card while the phone is still in Recovery? Are there any clearer instructions?

I just encountered this problem a couple days ago. I had to physically take the card out of the phone, put it in a card reader, and then mount the card reader in my pc. I used Windows to format the card to FAT32 (that will erase everything). Once I formatted, the phone was able to read the sd card just fine again.
Hate for this to be my first post, but I'm out of Ideas.
I loaded CM RC-1, after the install it could not read my SD card, and like an idiot I let it format it, which nuked my backup. Now I seem to be stuck CM, I can load RC & nightly builds with no problems, but for the life of me I can not go back to Sprint Lover's Image, or any ROM's other than CM's. Any suggestions?

Just redownload whateva rom you would like to use put it on the root of your sd card then go into recovery, full wipe (data, cache and davlick (system, boot [if you are using amon_ra 2.3 if not skip this])) then flash it friend and you are golden.

You need to re-download a rom and place it on your sdcard. Then boot into recovery wipe your factory/data, cache, and dalvik, then flash the from from install zip from sdcard. If you're flashing a gingerbread rom, you need to flash the latest gapps with it.
That's the problem, it will not install anything else. Either get could not find script error when trying to install from multiple different roms.
Tried just running the RRU, but neither HTC sync drivers or hboot drivers can see the phone to run the restore.
Using RA and selecting Flash zip from sdcard does the following
Install : PC36IMG.zip ?
Press power to confirm, or any other key to abort.

I'm starting to think it may be some kind of issue with CM and the SD card.
I've downloaded multiple times, and multiple times I've copied the zip from the computer to the phone it's been slow copying.

The PC36IMG needs to be flashed from the bootloader. When you boot there, give it 10 seconds and then apply the update and reboot.

Can you get into recovery? If you can and if it is amon RA, go to the Partition SD Card menu and select Partition SD. Afterwards, select Repair SD:ext. Hit RETURN and then go to the USB-MS toggle menu, but before selecting it, attached your EVO to your computer. opy the rom(s) to the root of your SD card. Also copy a fresh amon RA recovery .img file just in case you need to reflash amon RA from the bootloader screen.
Try to flash the rom you copied over to your SD card and see if you are successful. If you are not, reflash amon RA, preferably, version 2.3.
By the way, there does "appear" to be a growing number of issues involving CM7, SD cards & recovery problems. People are trying diligently to find a solution to those complaints.
Finally got it fixed, the issue seems to be with how CM is formatting & R/Wing to the card. What I had to do was download the Stock-Rooted image via Rom Manager and then flash to RA, boot into RA, and install the image from RA.
Reformatted the SDcard and I just tried transferring files to and from the sdcard, both copy & move. Copies 200megs to and from the card in a flash once again.
Well, glad that you got it fixed.
PLEASE HELP...I am new to this so I hope it is simple. I recieved instruction on how to flash the SNS v1.3 From this Thread on this site.
Sinister Rom [RLV3]-5/12/11|[! Post what you want to see in version 4 !]
Prior to this I performed a Nandroid Backup after flashing Amon RA from ROM Manager. I wiped everything except for the SD Card and attempted to flash the ROM. After an unsuccessful try I tried to reboot phone and it just keeps going to the Bootloader Screen. I also noticed that the PC36IMG.zip file is not being loaded now. It says that image is not found. I have tried several new PC36IMG.zip files from the site and put them on the root of my SD Card using the USB-MB toggle option and it still says wrong or no image found. WHAT do I do? Don't want my phone to die and be bricked...
HELP PLEASE

Maybe bad download. But, yeah, sounds like you don't have an OS. YOu need to find a good one to flash which should contain everything. Good place to start for noobs would be the new GB leak. It's here:

Sounds like you have SD card problem though. Pull the recovery.log using adb:

You should really know what adb is before you rooted your phone..
Here is Android Debug bridge(ADB)
Now onto your problem. If you have the option try to use a different micro SD or a different way of transferring a rom to your card.
When I transfer a rom to my micro sd via a cheap ebay adapter I receive that same error. But when I transfer right to my phone or through the adapter that came with my phone it works fine.(I have a SD slot on my computer most newer ones do)
THANKS TO EVERYONE!!! Needed to Wipe SD Card, Partition SD CARD, and reflash ROM...WORKING GREAT NOW!!!

Hello, i have a flashed to boost mobile htc incredible, i recently put in a formatted 32gb sdcard, i have the original 8gb sdcard that the flashed phone came with somewhere(cant find it), but im not sure if that is what the cause of the error i keep getting is. i try to backup my rom in cwm recovery but when i try to restore the error md5 mismatch comes up, when its backing up the last process shows no sd-ext partition, skipping backup of sd-ext, so im not sure if i deleled something while formatting the sd card or if that is something that is common not having sd-ext partition. what is a solution to this problem?
I am having several problems with my phone actually, if you can help that would be great, whenever i download a rom file zip and try to flash manually via cwm recovery the error bad zip comes up, i figure it must be a bad download so i redownload and try again, ive tried more than 20 times and still get bad zip if trying to download from phone browser, same problem while trying to load files from my computer, i got lucky only once it seems trying from computer and ever since i havn't been able to switch my rom. i really need help on this one, please.
even if i try with rom manager i get an error in cwm recovery saying error processing rom manager script check if you have rom manager v4.4+ ive tried several versions that are higher than that version even the latest and still have not been able to flash a new rom.

It sounds like something is wrong with the sdcard. Try reformating it fat32 with a pc. If it still dosent work the card may be bad, or have some sort of incompatability issue with the phone.
Hello, I've been trying to flash a rom and keep getting this error on TWRP:
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'

I tried downloading a different ROM (ParanoidAndroid, then ParanoidKANGdroid, then CM10), installing from the external SD card instead of the internal one, switching from CWM to TWRP since some people have been complaining about CWM recently, and I just keep getting the same error.
Also, when I try to install the zip file from my computer instead of my phone, it won't let me put the file in any of the SD card's folders, so I'm not sure if that's normal/relevant to the problem. Would installing a custom kernel or trying to partition the SD card help? I don't have an SD card reader unfortunately but I'm pretty sure it's in fat32 format.
Thank you very much!
Whenever I get "bad" (followed by an Android robot on his back with a red shape on his front) while installing it usually just means a bad download.
Re-download to another folder (if you can download FROM your phone directly to your phone) I find that works really well.
Alright, I'll try downloading again, thanks. I have saved it in both the downloads and the ROM folder I created myself with no difference though.
I tried downloading CM10 directly from my phone to my downloads folder and still got the same error.
I had problems flashing a particular rom. Same as your having, I use TWRP. If you read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034844 others have same experience. There are some solutions and something about editing a script.
Sorry I can't be more helpful but this was a bit more than I could take.
Thanks! I'll be sure to read through it. No amount of help is too small at this point lol.
If your sd card is 64gig you have to use win util to format it to fat32. Google format 64 gig sd fat.

You can take out the variable of the MicroSD card and flash from the internal SDcard.

I just ordered an sd card reader so I'll check it out, thanks. I don't think I've done anything to corrupt the filesystem though. Do you think it was already corrupted when I bought it?
Stuff happens. Filesystem corruption can be cause by almost anything. Typically it happens when your device random reboots.

This may be off base here, but are you selecting the option in your recovery to "flash update.zip" rather than manually browsing for the ROM Zip?
I've tried choosing the "flash rom" option from the Goo Manager app as well as the "install" option from the recovery menu.
Same Prob, escalated...
I was having the same problem. After some research I found a tip to Delete a portion of coding in the begining of the update-script zip file. Only now it is unable to open and read the zip file. I too was doing from computer via external sd card. Have you gotten any where since?
