I'm having a strange issue trying to install a ROM (any rom). No matter what ROM I try to install, I get a "can't open /sdcard/(ROM NAME),zip (bad).
This happens if the file is on the internal SD or the external SD. Doesn't matter. I was able to restore from a nandroid backup, but I'm really stumped here.
Anyone have any ideas?
Are you using the latest version of your recovery? I recommend twrp btw

Update recovery.
Thanks for the replies. I'm using ClockworkMod 6.0.2.3. I take it there is a newer version?

"E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command"

Exact same thing with me. I think I'm going to flash to a previous version... if I know how... because I used ROM Manager which did it for me.
I can Nandroid manually in recovery so the problem doesn't seem to associate with CWM recovery it seems to be associated with ROM manager.

Are you able to nandroid from recovery? don't know what it is in ROM manager that is causing this, hopefully somebody else will shed some light on this.
If I was you guys I'd do everything in recovery manually. I've seen many a problem pop up from using rom managers automated scripts.

This unofficial update fixed the issue I was having with initiating backups from ROM manager:
https://twitter.com/clockworkmod/status/232975246477647872
I ran into problems trying to make a Nandroid backup.
Currently on CWM 5.5.0.4, Odin 3.04 and stock Rom.
I go into CWM recovery....
I select backup and restore....
I select backup....
Then I get "Can't mount backup path"
I hope I just forget something simple here.
If you guys could help, could you kinda try and make it in simple terms. I am really trying to learn this stuff, but I am just starting out, so sorry for the novice level guys.
I did try and google some info, but I feel even more confused now.
Any help would be great.....
thanks guys!!

Use this newer CWM Recovery
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM_TOUCH_7-12/recovery.tar.md5
You can flash it using Mobile Odin or Odin on your desktop.
You can find instructions on how to flash that here

The first solution to any recovery problems should be to check if there is an update to CWM, which fergie716 already linked to. This is why they release updates... because sometimes things are broken (and they only pop up in unique circumstances).
Also, I personally use TWRP, and always recommend it. I have had no issues with TWRP (when I keep it up-to-date). But I always throw in the disclaimer that backups made with CWM will not be able to be restored in CWM. If you have too many backups in CWM that you want to keep, switching to TWRP might not be up your alley.

The main reason of this problem is SD card

After I inserted a 16gb microsd card the problem got fixed
I updated my recovery to 6.0.1.2 the newest one but after I update d my recovery
I can't backup my ROM every time I try it come up error like picture below. I also format my sdcard but still can't.
I have sandisk 64g class 10
Anyone know what is that issue? or know how to fix it?
It really bother me.thank you
Youre not the only one. I tried Xquzit JB roms which installs it. Went back and forth between CWM 4.8.4.5 and 6.0.1.2 and every time back up fails on 6.0.1.2. I suggest downgrading.

I didn't make a Nandroid backup because I use Titanium Backup instead.
So I did a factory reset and wanted to flash the new aokp build by task650. Failed in red error. I thought it was a bad download so I flashed the mirror. Still get the error.
So I'm stuck. I'm currently in TWRP copying my internal storage to an external sd card, but what do I do next?

Easiest thing would be to reboot into download and Odin back to stock.

Ah okay, that's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Thanks for the quick response.
What I would do is take my ext SD card load or ROM on it via adapter to desktop/laptop and flash from ext SD card

Just checking, did you install the latest version of TWRP specific to our phone? Wrong version would abort a flash.
You could always try loading up CWM and see if that will flash successfully.

what version did you use and was it a zip or tar?
What version of TWRP? 2.5 is the latest.
Try wiping your data. The one that removes EVERYTHING from the internal SD card.

Hi all. I'm going absolutely crazy over here. I have an i747 and I rooted it, no problem. The problem that I am having is that I'm currently running 4.1.2 and for the life of me, cannot figure out how to get it to 4.2. I've tried installing CM10, but every time I try and flash it in CWM, I get a E: Error in /emmc/cm10.zip (Status 7). I've tried installing other 4.2 ROMs like Paranoid Android etc, but get the same/similar error. I can flash other custom ROMs, like Alliance and such. I'm sure I'm over thinking this and just need a fresh set of eyes on the issue and a point in the right direction here. Your help is much appreciated.
What version of cwm are you running?

Status 7 is an out of date recovery, so make sure that's updated.
Also the newest cm10 and aokp and Pac man need updated bootleggers. Check the cm10 thread for the links to the Odin files.

Cwm is actually sitting currently at 6.0.3.1. Here is the latest cwm flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1888710&d=1366136727
Flash this in cwm, go to advanced, select reboot recovery. Once back in, make a new backup.
Before you flash a 4.2 rom from 4.1, wipe everything. Save everything you want to an sd card or your PC. Place your desired rom and gapps on a micro sd card. Wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik. Format /system and /data. Flash rom and gapps.
