I went to update the BOYPCC rom and went into clockwork recovery and update zip but there are no zips showing.
There are 4 zips on the card and none of them can be seen.
I did a google search and found one that said backup the card format then reinstall everything but that didn't work I also tried reinstalling clockwork but that didn't work.
Anyone had this problem and solved it?
Sometimes when you have alot of crap on your sd card, it won't show your .zip file when u scroll down. Try scrolling up instead, its happened to me before and that worked.

I formatted the card and only had that ZIP on there and it still came up no files found
The zip file is likely not correctly zipped or incomplete. Try and download the zip again then put it on your card. Is the phone recognizing your card?

I tried BOYPCC rom before, and went to [SD] RAFDROID HD 4.2|Fastest Full DesHD [MAGDLR/WINMO][K: Rafp 1.9 OC]
you need to place those zip files into the root.
not where else but the root else it can't be seen.
They are in the root, even the one I used to last update the phone via clockwork can't be seen.
The phone is recognising the card as it is showing the folders on it.
You might want to try re-flashing cwm, or try a different version of it. Thats really the only other thing I can think of at this point

i just rewiped and flashed Dc 2.09.1 and we realized that the photo app and the phone app wasnt on the phone that comes with the phone...should i look for those apk and install them...i dont think i rewipe would work but idk...Is there anything i can do??
Sounds like it may just be a bad install, cuz I used to use DC 2.09 for a while and that never happened to me.
Try re-downloading the DC 2.09 .zip, then put that new one onto your SD card and overwrite or delete the old zip. Re-wipe everything, then re-flash the new zip and see if that fixes it.

I am having a lot of issues with Rom manager. Whenever I create a backup and try to back it up it refuses to work. It acts like it worked. But when I try to restore to that backup it says MD5 mismatch. I am currently running a froyo leedroid rom. I have tried to flash over to a GB Leedroid rom and a Coredroid rom. Neither of them work.
It says finding update package
opening update package
can't open file bad.
I am seriously annoyed with rom manager WTF is the point in creating a damn backup if I can't restore it at a later point?
Now my sdcard will not mount says its is mounted as read only and it wont do a damn thing now...
Bump wondering how to check an MD5. Still wondering what is up with Rom manager. Silly question but am I having troubles because I bought a different memory card for the phone? I did a partition and wiped it but just not sure.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml
use that to check the MD5. Obviously something getting corrupt along the way. I cant imagine its the memory card but Im not 100%. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will pop along shortly.

Hi I'm pretty new here so I'm may be wrong about this, but could it be a problem with Froyo and GB? It's like using office 2010 and 2007 version, may not be backward compatible. But I may be wrong, just a a guess on my part.

Looks to me like you've got a flaky SD card, certainly I have no problems creating and restoring backups although I am on CM7 but that shouldn't make a difference, first off though make sure youre running the lastest ROM Manager and Clockwork versions then try a different SD card.
Okay I am still having issues with Rom manager. I tried putting in a new sd card and it will not mount to the system. I hit mount and it just pops back up saying its ready to remove. I now can't reboot into recovery nor flash clockwork recovery. It said an error occurred while flashing your recovery.
Also I really don't like that I can't even take a picture or use my camera because it says it can't save to the SD card due to insufficient file permissions. Yes I have done fix permissions in rom manager. But it still wont work..
have you tried to do it directly in CWM?
if so, try to flash a newer CWM version (through fastboot, ROM Manager is known to cause some problems).
Hello iam also having problems but i am have my DHD freeze at the splash screen when trying to enter recovery, any ideas please.

ROM manager wouldn't prevent mounting of a new SD card, thats got to be a hardware issue or an issue with your current ROM, try flashing either a different custom ROM or a stock ROM if your SD card woes continue it's a hardware issue, if not it's a ROM issue but either way I think we can safely rule out ROM manager.

Try reflashing Clockwork recovery, either from Fastboot or from ROM manager.
Tried using ROM Manager but got nowhere so i followed this post and it worked first time http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723 , it was great for new guys like me.
But thank you for your help.
I figured out what the problem was. Even though I had formatted that new sd card it still wouldn't mount so I formatted it on the computer and now everything is fine. I don't use that other sd card anymore. I guess it was really just a bad sd card. So a word of advice to everyone that not all sd cards are created equal!
Thanks for all the help everyone!
Wise words there! I've been through 4 memory cards lol and each one broke. One after the other.
I use Rom Manager only to install CWM, and then I flashed all new rom by recovery from SD card.
I propose not to save a money on buying cheap card. It so important
how do I un-partition a sd card? running a rom and was just showing b not telling me how much space i have left or anything. was not even telling me how much internal memory i had on phone
reformat it....
copy all your contents off the card..reformat and go from there..

yes i can get into recovery. I tried flashing synergy rom. would it be best to just run the ruu and redo the rooting process?
Reformatting is by far the best way. There is a remove sd partition selection in ClockWorkMod and Amon Ra recoverys,but ive never used them,bcuz i have no need to partition my sdcard because i always have 150mb,or more,free space,no matter which rom i use or what apps i add/install(original Evo 4G).Id simply copy the contents of your sdcard to your computer,then reformat the sdcard,and reinstall the content back to your sdcard.I dont suggest the remove sdcard partition method simply because ive never used it. Good luck.
thank ibcary we got that far now i'm just stuck on the splash screen. the reason for wanting to get rid of the partion is cause it was just saying b. not giving me any info on the card.
If u can get to recovery your doing good. Use Amon Ra if possible. CWMod doesnt always do a full wipe. id try going into recovery and perform a full wipe,wipe dalvik,wipe data,etc,etc...Then download a rom that u know works and is stable. I like MikGs Sense 2.1/3.0 roms,but which rom all depends on your device. Choose a rom thats well known to be a good,stable rom.Try flashing the newly downloaded rom from your sdcard thru recovery and if that doesnt work,then id try using a new/different sdcard. Sdcards dont last forever,and some are downright junk. As long as u can get to your bootloader theres still hope. Im sure your device is ok,but it could be a bad sdcard or a bad rom download. Thats why i recomended a new rom download,and if that doesnt work then try a new sdcard. Goodluck
ok. it was a new sd card that i partioned. am download a rom that I have used before and never had any problem with. but if this doesn't work should i just unroot and run the ruu and start over again?
how do i load the rom onto the sd card since it gets stuck at the splash screen??

thanks you Holsum will give it a try.
once you have root and busybox installed correctly theres not much unrooting and then rooting again will solve.Except to return your device to stock,and to unroot i usually flash the unrooted stock rom. U can try the Root Checker app from the Market just to make sure your rooted and have busybox installed correctly. However custom roms are already rooted and have busybox installed correctly. If its a new sdcard id still try another sdcard. Use an sdcard u know is good. I bought a few cheap sdcards that were 8GB class 10 becuz i got a great deal on them,10 for $110.but out of the 10,only 7 were even recognized by my Evo or my HP dv7 Netbook and worked.Also i highly doubt they are class 10,bcuz my SanDisk 16GB C10 sdcard is much faster,and older too. So just bcuz its new doesnt mean its good.If it still wont work after a fresh wipe using Amon Ra recovery,NOT ClockWork Mod recovery,and a fresh/newly downloaded rom flashed from a different sdcard using Amon Ra recovery to fully wipe,then flash the newly downloaded rom from the different sdcard to your device. That shud work,but if it doesnt u can try reinstalling or updating your recovery.
As usual im a little behind again with my post. Good luck

First: Did you partition all the card or only a certain amount ?
Second: Almost all the Custom recoveries have format card so do that.Then boot back in recovery and mount your card from recovery.
Third: Do not run RUU Period.
Fourth: Wipe all, cache, dalvik and all 2or3 times.
You wont get stuck on splash. since you wipe all give it a bit of time to check everything about 5-10 minutes

on partition the card i just hit the power button on all of it. got a custom rom back on my phone now it is up and running.
I would suggest using this program when formatting your SD ..
https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
Just and FYI, when partitioning your SD Card, it will wipe the contents. So you'll need to partition SD Card and then move over any content you want to install.
Hosed my Fascinate by trying to flash a recovery through Odin -> The recovery also had a kernel in the file that I didn't realize. Phone attempts to boot then reboots into recovery. I would prefer not to do a factory reset until I try reflashing the right kernel.
I am aware of this thread that used to have the file I need, but evidently the guy has removed it from his Dropbox now. Does anyone have a copy they can throw up for me? I think I could use the recovery image, too, but it is a little bit easier to find so don't go to great lengths for the recovery.
Will reflashing the correct kernel even fix my problem? I haven't touched /system. Should all my stuff still be there when I get back in?

If you have access to your sd card via windows, look for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459905 on kernels. The stock is in post 1 at the bottom with the rest of the links. Download it, copy to your sd card and install it via recovery and it should work. If not, find droidstyle's guide, download the CWM 2.5 flash that in Odin, then install kernel.

Edit: Got it. Thanks!! It's booting up fully!!
Nothing below this line matters anymore, but I am leaving it for Google arrivals. The problem I list in this post was caused by excessive copying of the files. I first downloaded the file from the internet, copied it from Firefox downloads folder to my desktop, copied it up to my LAN server, copied it over to my Motorola Droid Bionic SD card, unmounted the SD card and put it into the Fascinate for installation.
The RIGHT way that worked was removing the network component. I just plugged the Bionic into the PC and mounted USB storage mode, copied files over, unplugged, let the SD card remount on the Bionic, manually unmount on the Bionic, remove the card and put it into the Fascinate.
Thanks for being patient with me. Your thread is obvious at the top of the forum but I ignored that method because it was flashing zips in recovery, which I couldn't get into at the time. I got the CWM 2.5 to work, and I did make a successful nandroid backup (will a factory reset restore the kernel, now that I have a backup?).
I did try to flash both versions of that stock kernel kernel-eh03-GB.zip and kernel-eh03-GB_signed.zip and get the same error on both. I even tried with a different SD card:
-- Installing: SDCARD:kernel-eh03-GB.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/kernel-eh03-GB.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I've tried downloading the files again, too. I wonder if it's worth noting that I did previously try to mount the SD card to Windows from CWM. It mounted, but when I tried to copy the file over, Windows told me the media was write-protected. WTF? Haven't seen that since floppies.
I think I'm going to call it a night and if I don't hear anything else on this in the morning I'll just do a factory reset and see if that restores the kernel. Then I can reinstall CWM and restore my backup. *long sigh*
Thanks again, man.

Thats alright, dont worry about it man. Yeah it does sound like you need a factory reset. your phone isnt accepting the download. for ****s and giggles tho, try not using CWM to put the file onto your SD card, and plug it directly into your computer and redownload and transfer that way and see if it takes, if not then you'll definatly have to factory reset. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070 Follow section 4 to return to stock. That should fix it.

About a year ago I installed Cyagenomod using colockwork mod 3.2.01 (not sure the version of cyagenomod, but the android guy on the loading screen was on a skateboard if that helps) onto my nook color. It worked for a while, but then would get caught up in the load screen. I already had another tablet, so I just set it aside. Now my nephew is learning to read, and I'd like to get the tablet running again and deck it out with apps that can help us help him. The problem is, no matter what I do or which tutorial I use, when it comes time to remove the SD card and reboot to Cyagenomod 10, the device loads to the CWM recovery screen for version 3.2.01. I have tried following the tutorials and using different versions of CWM, but the old version seems to be stuck on there and blocking anything else from loading on startup. Most recently I tried 6.1.0.2. Here are the steps that I took:
Wrote CWM image file to sd card
Added CM 10 zip file
Added GAPPs zip
Added CWM zip file
Inserted sd card and turned on device
Loaded to CWM 6 from the sd
Flashed CM, then GAPPS, then CWM zips in this order per tutorial instructions
Did factory reset per instructions- which seemed a little weird, but I haven't tried skipping this step as all tutorials advise it.
Removed sd card and replaced with blank card
Rebooted
As with everything else I've tried, it booted right back to the old version of cwm. I've tried restoring the original software, and even tried TWRP, How do I remove the old version so that the new version can work it's magic?
Thanks! And go easy on me, I just follow instructions well. I'm only marginally knowledgeable when it comes to what I'm actually doing.

It sounds like you are in a recovery bootloop. Go to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and read about it. I also have a newer version of CWM made for internal memory that you can flash to replace the 3.2.0.1 version on internal.
