I was flashing a few Roms, when I came to the conclustion, I want to start from scratch.. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S with clockwork recovery.. I formatted System, Data, Cache, Internal and External SD cards.. Then I took my Rom and try to install it... now I get this E:Failure at Line 2:copy_dir Package:system SYSTEM: Installation Aborted.. So right now my phone is clean as a whistle, but it is not installing the rom which I have installed previously... I have the rom on the external card but whenever I chose the option, Install Zip from SD card, then choose zip from sdcard, choose my rom, I get the following:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Formatting SYSTEM...
rm -rf /system/*rm -rf /system/.*copying files...
E:Failure at line 2:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
Installation Aborted
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
I am also having this problem when trying to install a kernel. I downloaded the New CWR and flashed it through ROM Manager and I am still having the same problem. It won't flash any .zip file through CWR. I also tried wiping the cache with no result. Any advice would be helpful because I would love to try the new DL30 rom today.

Hi,
I've just downloaded ROM Manager & tried to partition my SD card but failed.
What I did:
In Rom Manager,
1. Partition SD Card. It asked to install something. I chose OK.
2. Ext Size 512MB
3. Swap Size 0MB
OK
Then the screen went black with a sign /!\ & the little grean Android guy.
I waited for a long long time, nothing happened.
I hit the power button & it show the following:
(I could move up & down with volume button, but hitting the power button didn't help, so I had to pull out the battery. The phone starts ok...)

My phone is running Froyo 2.2 OTA 2.10.405.2
& Rooted by Unrevoked 3.21.
The reason I rooted the phone mainly to get the apps to SD card.
There's a zip file called recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip in:
D:\clockworkmod\download\koush.tandtgaming.com\recoveries
Should I rename it to update.zip, then run Partition SD Card again?
How do I do that from here please?
Thanks,
D
Mate,
I had the same issue, I run "flash clockworkMod Recovery" the first option in Rom Manager, and then I ran the "Partition SD Card" option again, and everything worked ok.
Thanks

Same problem. I do not see my ROM backup and don't want to continue root till I have a copy. Any help?
Had the same issue but looks to be resolved no by following the steps. Can I ask what the swap file should be set to ? and how do I go about adding extra partitions that some of the new roms need ?

Is this me doing it wrong or is there some bug? I'm able to install roms just not this one.
EDIT: i've tried the desireZ rom aswell and that failed. I also noticed the line "E:Can't mount SDEXT:" and tried an sd card with an ext3 partition but it then failed to mount the fat32 (/sdcard) partition but was able to mount the ext partiton (/sd-ext). From what I've been reading its because it doesn't have an ext partition, but as I said when I do it then doesn't mount the non-ext partition.
I too was having similar issues and found that re-partitioning and formatting the card did the trick. Also I had a 700mb partition before which I have increased to 1gb.

Had the same problem myself.I ended up putting a stock rom on to access market place, installed rom manager which I partitioned with then ran hd rom and it worked.Only problem I have now is its stuck in a boot loop lol and not sure how to fix it but hey good luck.
Cool. Got it to work, using stigslim's method of using ROM manager had a slight issue with it saying the Rom wasn't signed but I turned off the verification then it worked fine. No boot loop.did use the wrong SD card though. *Facepalm*
thanks
Can you tell me what procedure you went through in recovery, if I follow your tracks I might get rid of the restart problem I have.cheers

Exact same error as I got yesterday.. had to restore my sd card and restore to previous state. I assume there's something causing this rom to fail.
I am trying to instal a custom rom (RCMixHD_v014_OF) to my HTC Desire.
At first I had my phone rooted,then I downloaded rom manager and I backed up my rom,and then I tried to install with rom manager and it didn't work,it also didn't work when I tried to install it through the recovery mode.I try to install it and it says:

You need an EXT3 partition for that ROM, sounds like you've not got one

Yep. Agreed. Sounds Like No EXT Try (Re)partioning using something like GParted live CD or Paragon Partition Manager

Hello,
I have a lill Problem, yesterday i saw the new version of Ulitmate HD, so i thought i give it a try, i made my backups and stuff, placed the update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0 on my SD-Card and booted into CWM.
did the following steps
wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mount and storage -> format /system
- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
- advanced -> wipe battery stats
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and tried to install the FILE, mhh no file with the name update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0 on my SD card, or at least its not showing up in CWM, there was just a file update.zip. i thought maybe thats the ROM file so i tried to use it,
but it didnt work i get an error
E: Cant mount /sdcard/update.zip
Installation aborted.
soo i flashed the stock ROM again 4.1.B.1.13, rooted my phone again, xparts for cwm, downloaded Ulitmate HD again, and copied it on my SD Card..
Same Error again, i can only see the update.zip file in CWM not the update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0.
what is the problem ? did i miss sth ? it worked without any problems with the old ultimate version.
thx for the help
Sorry for the trouble, i just renamed the file to update.zip and it is working,
amazing ROM :good:
