copy_dir package:system SYSTEM Trying to Install a Rom - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

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.

Phone freeze after Partition by ROM Manager >

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

it works. wow. Thanks a lot.

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.

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

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:
