Update fixed the SD was broken I don't exactly know why but it explains everything so thanks for all your help and sorry for not being very
clear.
Hi I'm having issues with clockworkmod.
See the problem is while trying to flash cyanogen mod I was getting the endless loop so I kept
at it until I managed to flash it. The problem is I flashed Cm6.1.0 so easy fix right? Well I thought so too until clockworkmod wouldn't find the zip. So I tried nandroid and it again couldn't find any zip so I checked the partitions menu and clockworkmod had mounted the
Sd card and the cache. So I unmounted both and still nothing so I looked at the setting's again and it remounts the cache and sometimes the Sd card. Well my problem is worsened by
the fact that the version of cyanogen mod that did flash doesn't have the market or flash.
Any help will be welcome. HTC aria.

With CM 6, the Market is in the GoogleApps zip which must be installed after the ROM.
Also Flash 10.x does not run on the Aria; the CPU is not supported by Adobe.
Well clockworkmod won't find any zip not even nandroid and so my problem deepens so now can't get the market crap.

Some of your terminology in your post is very confusing. First of all, ClockworkMod will only find ZIP files that are copied to the root directory of your SD card. If you copied them to a folder on your SD card, CWM will not find them.
Second, Nandroid is a backup and restore utility and it does not use ZIP files. It creates backup folders on the SD card under /clockworkmod/backup and contains image files of the various partitions on your phone.
So what is the exact state of your phone? You stated that you have flashed CM 6.1? If you boot your phone normally, does CM 6 start up and are you able to use your phone? In order to install gapps.zip file to get the Market app, copy the gapps.zip file to the root of your SD card and see if ClockworkMod can install it. BTW, in CWM you are select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard", right?

Not true, you can install ZIP files from any directory.

Thanks for correcting my misinformation. I guess the root location only applies to "update.zip", right?
Yup. And it actually must be named "update.zip"
Oh crap I just formated the boot partition and now my phone won't boot at all!
It still won't find any zip. What now? Is there any way to restore clockworkmod?

Are you copying the zip files from your PC to the sd card? Have you tried downloading a ROM zip file directly to your SD card using your phone's browser?
I have exactly the same problem...Clockwork will not see any .zip files....even tried mounting usb storage from cwm, it mounts and the zips are there, yet it can not find any of them when i try to find them (all are in the root of the sdcard)...any ideas?
So if you pick "choose zip from SD" you can't manually pick a zip?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Found a solution:
1. Get SD card formatter from HERE
2. Plugin your phone (as USB drive), start up the application and format the card (default options selected) NOTE: backup your SD card to your PC first (obviously)
3. Unplug the phone (or put it into charge mod, whatever)
4. The phone should now try (and fail) to mount the card...go to the SD options and format the card using the phone function
The .zip files should now be visible in ClockworkMod Recovery (it worked for me and a few others as far as i know)

I am trying to apply a morph that i saved to my SD card, but when i go to the sd/ location i get the error no files found?
any ideas?
Thanks.
You mean /sdcard? If it's a morph, you don't install from recovery, you install with the Metamorph app in the market.
Yeah man, no need to be in recovery.
And with that said (unrelated), in clockwork recovery you can only install .zip files on /sdcard (internal), not /sdcard/sd (external).
my sd card is listed as /sd.
but anyway how come we cannot access the external sd card?
Also, i want to restore a nandroid backup it HAS to be on the internal memory?

These Morphs are for the battery and specifically state to be installed in clockworkmod recovery.

There is no /sd, not on a stock phone. What have you done to it?
You can access the external SD, you just have to do some manual stuff first. Kosh hasn't seen a reason to include it in the ramdisk for Clockwork, but you can mount it if you know how.
To restore a nandroid, yes, it has to be on internal. Unless you use an adb shell and run the script yourself anyway.

Then they are not morphs. Around here, "morph" means you install via MetaMorph.
Are you talking about the battery % mods in the themes and apps forum? Yes, you can install those in recovery. Download them and use ROM Manager in your booted phone. Select "Install ROM" and navigate to where it downloaded, the default is /sdcard/download. Select the ZIP and tell it it's OK to reboot and install it.
So i have searched everywhere and can not find an answer.
A couple days ago I formatted my SD Card and created an ext2 partition.
Since then, every time i have tried to flash a rom (i have tried multiple..CM7..Sense 3.0...MIUI) i get
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/ "name of ROM"
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I have used different CWM partitions, downloaded the ROMs multiple times, and even task29 ed
can someone please tell me how i can get CWM to open ROMs again?
Thanks in advance
SOLVED: Thanks to zach.antre and invisblebm for the help, you need to format your SD Card with Panasonic SD Formatter.
hey did you use the magldr to transfer files to your sd card because it sometimes corrupts ur files....
I also have this problem.
I don't use MAGLDR to transfer my zip file.
I have flashed my rom with DAF style, and I use android 2.3.4 on my hd2 cell phone. After connect my phone with my win7 pc, I transfer my zip file through file manager.
I think that maybe it is a privilege problem to open this zip [email protected]@

The SDcard needs proper format with panasonic sd formater as invisiblebm suggested before.
Thats is the problem, don't look for another solution.
After you format it and check that it works you can create the ext partition from within ClockWork Recovery in advance menu.
In Panasonic SD Formater go options and use "reallocate size" or something like that to have back the full size of the SD

Seriously, you have to provide info on your setup. CM7 version, CWR version, SD or eMMC install, etc.....
Without knowing what you were initially trying to fix or what materials you have on hand, I would say make an up-to-date CWM card:
eyeballer said:
Download 1gb CWM 3.2.0.1 sdcard image from here. MD5 of .zip: 1319739d33642ed860e8044c3d55aa56. (I made this based on work in this thread. credit: to cmstlist and DizzyDen, and kevank for hosting). You really only need the 1gb image for this guide, no matter what the size of your card is. A smaller image will burn faster, and when you're done with the guide you can reformat the card anyway.
Extract the clockworkmod .img (if you can't open the file use 7zip)and burn to sdcard using win32diskimager (free) or winimage (shareware). These apps will need to be "run as administrator." If you're not sure how to do this see step 3 here. ***Some internal laptop/desktop readers will not work to do this, you may need an external USB reader if you run into problems.***

Then install a CWM-flashable stock zip:

Put update-nc-stock-1.3.zip (do not unzip!) on your SD card.
Insert card and power on NC.

Hi,
I without much thinking and reading, searched the keyword "backup" on the play store, installed the first application I found (nandroid) and made a backup of my OS and wiped everything afterwards because I had to get my display replaced after the digitizer started not responding.
But after I got my phone back I realized that I can only flash CWM 3x on HD2 while the backup that nandroid created was for cwm5.
So, I have a backup made for cwm5. Any suggestions on how can I restore this on a hd2?
thanks in advance
Did you try to simply restore the backup?

If you can flash v3 you can flash v5 the same way.

Well, that's what I thought, but I can't. It won't let me. CWM3 keeps giving the file not found error, and I thought the fact that it's cwm3 is must be the reason why. I'm confused now.

I get into the ad recovery section in magldr, cwm opens, I then choose the backup restore section, it checks my sd card and finds the backup I made, no problem up to this point, I choose the backup I want to restore, the process starts, and then I get the file not found errors, but everything's there in the sd card, I checked.
The errors are like this:
system.img not found. Skipping restore of /system.
data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data.
etc. etc.

OK, no problem. You misunderstood what I said.
Go to AD Recovery and CWM v3 will open, correct?
Do NOT select /BACKUPRESTORE!
Select INSTALL FROM SD CARD
Of course, you need to have a copy of CWM Recovery v5 on your SD Card - if you do not have it or you have an older v5 download this file and place it on your sd card before you start.
After you install that file reboot and you will have CWM Recovery v5.
Does it make more sense now?

Well now have less possible issues. This is good.
The error shows you had a problem extracting the image from the zip. That suggests a bad zip or a bad sd card. Have you tried to download another copy of the zip file?
How big is your recovery partition? To flash that recovery you should have 5 MB, 8 if you might want to try other recovery apps later.
How was your device partitioned? Did you use DAF.EXE? If yes, take a look at the flash.cfg file, the line for recovery. If it has "filesize" (or something like it) instead of a number that partition was created to match last image flashed. The word filesize should read 8 MB or at least 5 mb.
If using the hd2 toolkit there should also be a flash.cfg file someplace.
Check that zip file first, however. I can give you a known good recovery and DAF.EXE but you will have to set the correct partition sizes for what you need.
