the file cannot be found..
It says no files found.

Did you place the zip file on the root of your sd card & not inside a folder?

It don't matter if its in a folder it not.. I always download straight from my phone and leave it in downloads folder.. also can be renamed after the date of a nandroid but make sure to add .stock or .rc4 or whatever.. no spaces and keep the dates, don't know about renaming the whole thing yet.. anyways, your problem seems odd

You go on: Install rom from SD-Card, then you can see the content of your sd-card. Then move to your file and install it. If it doesnt works, you should boot in the recovery and there you move to install zip from sd card and choose your file.

[Q] Can't load Update.zip

I tried many Roms of CyanogenMod but when the download finished, i couldn't open or extract the zip file ( the archive is either unknown format or damaged, then when i put it into my sd card, recovery said :" Can't open e:/sdcard/...zip. Plz help

You shouldn't need to unzip the package, just download the cyanogenmod you want that's correct for your phone eg buzz and then place on the root if your sdcard. Then enter your recovery and choose that zip file to update but remember to nandroid backup first and to wipe your data + dalvik cache and factory reset the device for a clean install.

Choose install from zip, navigate to the folder with your cm7 in and select it. Make sure you do the 3 wipes first or you'll get a bootloop.

Check your internet connection, and verify the MD5 Sum of the ZIP file you downloaded. It looks like a broken download, looking at your original post.

extract the 2 zip files into 1 folder, folder name should be clockworkmod , copy the clockworkmod file into your external sd, boot into CWM and select backup & restore >>> restore from external sd and you should see a file >> 20120422... something like that... select it >>> restore and wait until it done and reboot. Dont forget to wipe wipe wipe before restore..

It worked! Thanks!

works for me , nice job

Bro I have link2sd enabled and I ve all my apps in my ext partition.
Now if I create a zip via this app and flash it the next time I change my rom.... Where will the apps get installed.?
Because our phone has got only 120 mb internal and my zip will be like 170mb right?
Will it get installed to sd card?
