Flashing Bugless Beast with ROM Manager..... help needed

I have rooted my EVO with the toast method and files. I updates my adb usb drivers and flash erecovery from my PC but when I download the file w/i RM and the DL finishes I select back up current rom and nothing happens. I did double check my root access by running the su command in a terminal and had no issues. I then DL'ed the file to me PC and transferred it to the root on the SD card, reboot into fastboot the manually into erecovery and tried to perform an update zip . Nothing is working as expected, does anyone have any ideas on things to try??? Also I am very familiar with RM as I used it all the time with my Droid.

Try just loading of Rom manager and click flash rec. All tht then try reboot into rec. May not work depending on what Rom your currently on

not sure what you mean
Are you suggesting reinstalling RM? Or are you suggesting DL'ing the Rom and flashing from RM?
Couple of things :
1) I have DL'ed the Rom from RM and began theflash process w/i the tool and nothing happens, where in the past on my droid it would go into CW recovery and flash the new Rom and all was well, but not thus far
2) I am still using the stock since UI and have flashed CW recovery via RM
3) the main thing I have noticed is the CW recovery isn't set for whatever reason
4) I did read in one of th xda threads that the boot loader was not able to be unlocked at this point

[Solved]ClockworkMod Recovery - No files Found

I'm trying to install Jellybean, and I put the .zip file on my phone via USB before rebooting into recovery. When I press "choose zip from sdcard" it says No files found.
I even tried the following command:
adb push ./bigxie_JRN84D_rooted_busybox_deodexed.zip /sdcard
But it still says no files found.
I'm using a Galaxy nexus, which doesn't use a sdcard, only internal memory so maybe I am doing something wrong.
My phone is currently bricked and won't boot, so the only thing I can do is use recovery mode.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
Tried unmounting and remounting everything, and it worked.

[SOLVED] completely stuck, ADB won't push

Problem description
trying to get the phone to update from 4.0.4 to 4.2.x, [Phone has 'ClockWorkMod recovery v6.0.0.5' and I believe is rooted]
first tried via OTA automatic update, but at bootloader it says something like 'failed signature verification, aborted'
I then downloaded 'cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-maguro-M3' placed it in a folder, but it won't install at bootloader, says 'something ~~, aborted' again
Some thread mentioned need to install a kernel, so I installed 'franco Kernel r374', in recovery mode ['install from zip' etc]
then the phone won't start, gets stuck at white Google logo and open lock screen
I managed to get ADB and get it show up with 'adb devices', (but phone won't show on file explorer)
Tried 'adb push ***.zip' [I think it was a different CWM zip file], screen says 'failed to copy ***, to /sdcard: read only file system'
I went into recovery mode, tried "mounts and storage, mount /sdcard"
It would not mount, screen flashes briefly, but mount status stay the same
Then tried 'format /sdcard', it seemed to have done that
ADB still won't push anything into the phone, and recovery mode takes about 5 seconds to go into the blue menu screen, whereas before it was immediate
Now the phone is still stuck at logo screen and can't copy anything from ADB to /sdcard, but adb is able to push file into /data/media, but 'install zip from folder' thingy won't find /data/media folder
Please help, sorry if posting new thread is wrong, my first post
many thanks to everyone who provided help, finally i managed to flash the kernel and 4.2.2 across and the thing works now

/data/media is the same as /sdcard/

While connected to USB, go to "choose zip from sdcard". Now push the files. Once it's done, back out of that menu, and reenter.

[solved] CWM: Can't install .zip from /sdcard ("Couldn't open directory")

Hey everyone,
I completely wiped my phone (did a format of data, system etc. on CWM, wiped dalvik/cache etc.). Now I'm stuck with CWM and want to install a rom. I tried to put the .zip on the phone via "adb push /data/media". However, after doing that when I select "choose zip from /sdcard" it says "Couldn't open directory. No files found.".
If I open the shell via adb, I can find the /data/media folder as well as /sdcard, however, I can't cd into it. But I can see (by the folder-size) that the folder contains the .zip.
Any ideas? Is there maybe another way of installing a rom via CWM than through a zip on /sdcard?
Thanks!
*edit:
adb sideload isn't working either

Go to "install zip via sideload" in CWM (if it's not there, update your CMW first!), connect to PC, and run "adb sideload *PATH-TO-ROM-ON-YOUR-PC*". If your storage is not corrupted then it should load a ROM to your storage AND immediately flash it.

I tried it through sideload.
After the transfer finished it doesn't install the .zip automatically. However, when I go back in CWM it starts installing but fails with "E: Can't open /tmp/update.zip (bad)"

I solved the problem by flashing TWRP recovery and doing a full data wipe (not just the normal one).
