copy_dir package:system SYSTEM Trying to Install a Rom

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.

Galaxy Pocket S5300 MAK-DROID Help Needed

Hello guys, couple days back I quit smoking so i had some spare time and I thought I could improve my 1st android phone. Well, I am smoking this very moment and I have a very nice paperweight on my desk.
ROM: t=1873652
I've tried installing the ROM, but it didn't work. I've done everything exactly as in the tutorial, but I got stuck.
So I got past these steps:
* Download the CWM for pocket from here
* Copy update.zip into your internal memory
* Go to recovery mode (Vol-up + Home + Power)
* Choose apply Update from SD card
* Select update.zip file
* Wipe data factory reset,
* Wipe Cache data
but then I tried installing the ROM itself from the SD card I got the error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/"
I can't cancel the installation or boot my system, I don't have a data cable, although I have a card reader if that helps. My android was on the S5300XXLF5 stock firmware and I am using CWM v5.0.2.8. Oh and everytime I try to reboot the device from CWM menu it just freezes all I'm seeing is the console with the "Rebooting..." at the bottom of it.
What should I do now? I want to either get this ROM working or just getting my phone to work with any firmware - any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
update1
I get an error even before that, it pops up during "Data Factory Reset" procedure:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblklp2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
oh and BTW, CWM getting stuck in the "rebooting..." stage is a perk of this build apparently...

Where did you get your ROM? Did you download the Mak-Droid ROM?
Copy the zip file to your sdcard. After you get the CWM running, you proceed to installing your new ROM. Read the instructions carefully.
And if you are stuck in rebooting, if you read the instructions- it tells you to manually reboot by pressing the power button. After this reboot, it will go back to the original MOD the you reboot again.
This should work for you...

I had the same experience. Just manually reboot the phone.
It is stated on the instructions that the reboot option on CWM for galaxy pocket doesn't work as of now.

Clear dalvik cache too
Sent from my GT-S5300 using xda app-developers app

If you applied update.zip after that - 1)put the file on the root (I.e when you open my files the first page that appears)
2)reboot to cwm
3)wipe data/factory;wipe cache partition;and go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache
4)now go back and select install zip from sdcard
5)choose the file and select yes
6)wait installing....completed
7)reboot
Wait 2-5 min to load the rom and then enjoy..

[Q] cant find Ultimate HD in CWM

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:

Is the md5sum of the ROM correct?
Which version of TWRP?
Do you have a Sprint or Verizon device?

why did you wipe your internal storage??? thats where you put the rom so you can flash it...
this is what they put in the op for that rom
How to flash:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card <--- thats your internal storage
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM
You can use data wiping option in AROMA (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM) <--- this is where you do the data wiping
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
anytime you are flashing anything you most read then read it again after that read it again then and only then you proceed.
