[Q] How to install custom ROM from recovery? - GT540 Optimus General

I'm trying to install SwiftDroid 1.8 from recovery, but it's giving me an error and the installation is aborted. I clicked install zip from sd card, then chose the file, and the error showed up. Can someone help me please? I'm using ClockworkMod 3.0.1.4.

you are probably putting the 'clk' version of the rom in your storage card for installation. you need the 'magdlr' version of the rom for clockwork mod to correctly install android

Wow I cant believe this worked. You have 2 recoveries, MAGLDR and CLK. So one would think you use the CLK rom with the CLK recovery, and the MAG rom with the MAG recover.
NOPE!!
You use MAG rom on CLK recovery. Jesus christ I spent 3 hours on this.

InDroid 4.3 installation problem

I downloaded InDroid v4.3 and flashed SG3 to InDroid v4.
When i downloaded InDroid 4.3 there was no update.zip but there was InDroid v4.3 Big_Update.
So when i went into recovery mode (I put the Big_update on the 2-primary partitioned SDCard) and tried installing update.zip from the sdcard.
But it said E:cant mount sdcard
And now im stuck with a phone which keeps on looping InDroidv4!!!! whenever i boot it...
My question is... What do I do to make the update work?

first of all there is no CWM recovery in indroid 4.0 if u have flashed the 4.1 version then go to recovery > install from sd > choose zip file (indroid 4.3_big update)
*u r currently doing "SD card:update.zip"
for more info, please refer to the video posted on both indroid thread for update.
Actually, i had a stock rom, flashed it to 4.0... it works sometimes(now it randomly got frozen.) So how do i update it? Do i have to 'install from sd'?
EDIT: Now im on recovery..
Its Samsung recovery Utils- forBML-
i selected apply sdcard:update.zip
but it says in red:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.

try to delete update.zip from SD card and install Clockwork again using ROM manager
or
Odin back to stock
root with Superoneclick
reboot (always do this after rooting otherwise the root will not work)
install ROM manager
install Clockwork using ROM manager
reboot to recovery
update.zip twice
from here you can install any Froyo ROM and any fixes.

You should manually install CWM.
As described in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
Install ES explorer/Filexpert and Remount apps.
Go the paragraph "Installing ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 on your U8800" and follow the steps.
Enjoy
Rom manager doesn't see u8800 on some roms.

Can't install any ROM after flashing SBF

I had some problems during ROM install and accidentally got my entire / deleted, so I had to flash an SBF.
I flashed some arbitrary 2.2 SBF, one I used before. Installed recovery during SndInit, and when I tried to install a ROM, it said there was an error.
I then, successfully, flashed TWRP using the same recovery, only to get the same "error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 0" error when trying to install CM10.2.
What can I do?
Install first a CM10 Rom to update your recovery then install CM10.2.

Isn't the latest TWRP updated enough?

First check your downloaded ZIP file if it is Ok. If you have MicroSD adapter for your computer, check ZIP on MicroSD just in your computer. In Windows/Linux GUI, this can be done by right click on the ZIP file and picking up "Verify" or something like it. This right-click-menu (ie. cascade menu) for ZIP file should be there if you have 7Zip (free) or WinRAR, WinZIP (both commercial) installed on your PC.
But it seems like you have broken partition layout, so reflash SBF. See Defy Wiki for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy
