Do you have the updater-script (or update-script) in the META-INF>com>google>android folder? Also check it for errors (make sure that all of the commands are written correctly)
Hope it helps,
Jack

Jack, is there a tutorial anywhere that shows us how to install a rom via CW recovery?
It seems I too have the same issue as fdespotovski being: How to install a rom via clockwork recovery?
GreenDroid and SYNERGY both dont use sytem.img but rather a system folder.
Can install other roms like Joe Stones or CM7 fine or by command line with .img files or others with KDZ updater, yet these ones with CW Recovery seem to be lacking tutorials on where and how to do this installation in simple language.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

How to you mean, you want to install the .zip ROM. You will need to copy the update .zip file to your SDCard. Then, in Clockwork, select "Install .zip from sdcard" and choose "choose zip from sdcard" and then select the .zip you copied to your sdcard. It should begin installing the ROM. Then 'wipe data/factory reset' Reboot the phone. There, ROM is installed.

Thanks Jack,
I think the problem is, I dont have clockworkmod installed on my phone as when I use an app called Rom Manager it gives an option called Flash CWM Recovery yet nothing happens when I select that so obviously I need to install that.
Any good tut's on now to install that, whilst using Joe Stones version 2.3.2?
Will search around, so thanks again.

Yeah, ROM Manager doesn't work with our phone, yet. But here is how to flash it on your device (without fastboot)
Download Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.8 from here.
Next, install YaffsExpert from the Market. (It's free ) Open it and in the first dropdown box, choose "Restore" and in the next, select "Recovery" press "Browser" next to the Operation File field. Select the recovery.img file. Make sure the "Target Device Model" is set to "All other" then press "Operation" wait for it to finish.Next, install YaffsExpert from the Market.

Thanks yet again there Jack, very kind of you to continually reply.
I have that version of clock work, as I have many of the the 3.x.x series as well so dont need to download that, but does it matter which one we install? I see there is now a clockwork v4 and one with an auto installer as shown by Dudeman at a Swifdroid blog he has posted.
So will it matter which CWR I use? or is it very specific?
I have also just updated to Cyanogen RC0 which is I seem to be able to do fine as well as installing Joe Stones rom too. But not the ones that need to install from zip.
Speaking of downloads, well guess what, this brings me to another problem I have
(and one I have always had) which is for the life of me, I cannot understand why I cannot download from Market.
Meaning, I also have some webspace of my own I can down and install apps or .apk files just fine, yet although when I go to market, and click on install, agree and install, the app then says downloading and takes me to the page prior to the app page.
I then go back to the app page to see whats happening and it continually says "Starting download" but will stay like this forever never changing as it will not ever download. Nor will it for any file on or from Market.
Why the heck is this? Tell ya, this has me cursed it has, and has limited me from doing many things that others are doing on their GT540.
Any more info regarding this would be most appreciated.

[Q] first time root and flash

ok so there are so meny threads and videos around about rooting and flashing a new rom, my proplem is that i am not an expert, they all give different info,programs to use ect... im a little nervous that i might use the wrong program or miss something and wind up with a brick...
i am using an acer a501 running android v 3.2
so if i understand correctly i need to.....
1.revert back to andriod 3.0.1 (not sure how yet)
2. download iconiaroot1.3, unzip, copy it to sd card (settings set to allow unknown and debug on)
3.install iconiaroot on tablet
4. open and run iconiaroot
5. now rooted
im i correct? did i miss something?
ok assuming all that is correct can i now flash a custom rom?
if so is the process similar? install rom onto sd card and install?

Correct. Just one step more
6. Before installing custom ROM you will need to install Acer Recovery Installer and flash custom recovery.

Root A501
Download a file manager if you don't already have once such as astro file manager or es file explorer. Also download Acer Recovery. Download both of these from the market.
Step 1. To downgrade to 3.0.1 to be able to root first thing you want to do is download this file here
http://depositfiles.com/files/64bo1ivat
Step 2. Once downloaded it copy the update.zip file into the root file of your sd card. the root folder on the sd card is in the tablets internal memory not an external sd card.
Step3. Turn off the tablet and once turned off press and hold the power button and volume down button. Don't release until you see the green andriod with the gears moving.
Step 4. Once tablet has booted back up check to see which version the tablet is running. To Check go to settings....about tablet...and underneath android version make sure the tablet is running 3.0.1
Step 5. If the tablet is running 3.0.1 then download this file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138228
This is a link to a xda thread that has iconiaroot-1.3.apk.
Step 6. Download iconiaroot-1.3.apk
Step 7. Before opening iconiaroot make sure in settings....applications that unknown sournces is checked then click development and make sure usb debugging is checked.
Step 8. Now open iconia root and hit root.
Step 9. Run acer recovery
Step 10. Select clockworkmod recovery and instal recovery image.
Step 11. Click this link
http://depositfiles.com/files/vwaavz1pa and download TLSS_A501_3.2_Little_Honey.zip
Step 12. Once downloaded you will have 1 zip file. Rename it update.zip and transfer it do the tablets sd card.
Step 13. Turn the tablet off. Then press power and volume down to run cwm.
Step 14. Once at cwm screen use the volume buttons to go up and down. go down and instal from sd card and hit power to select it. Then select apply sdcard/update.zip then select yes and it will instal
Step 15. Once update is done go back and click reboot system now
Step 16 Go to settings about tablet and double check your updated.
Step 17. Have Fun!!!!

Hey I am trying to root my acer, and ive followed all of these directions up until step 11.. The honey.zip file tht is provided isnt installing. Ive tried installing from the internal sd and the external sd with no luck, I think the file itself may be corrupt. Do I NEED to do this update before I can flash a custom rom?

It looks that Honey.zip IS a custom ROM (don't know for sure).
You're rebooting into recovery and trying to install from sdcard?
Are you receiving any errors? What exactly is happening?

Don't bother renaming to update.zip.... Just select "Install zip from sd card" in CWM...
And no, you can use ANY custom rom at that point...

Remember to wipe all data before flashing
cache - dalvik- battery stats -flexrom etc. etc.
Obviously, you should backup your data previously and then you can restore them

[Q] Feedback to [GUIDE] Root (Updated for ICS) #213 on page 22

CWM installed well from recovery.
But CWM did not install root.zip!
Error message:
CWM Recovery v5.8.1.5
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
What could have gone wrong? What further details are needed to find a remedy? What else is needed to root successfully?

Updates:
I have found solutions after reading all posts related.
If you have just PC Odin an unrooted SGT 6800 into ICS, your SGT now cannot be rooted. What I have done thereafter is as follows:
1. PC Odin CWM 5.5.0.4 into my 6800;
2. set-up your 6800 into recovery mode ( press power & vol-up same times, release power button once your see active screen, then release vol-up button as well, you will be in CWM recovery mode;
3. goto zip from sdcard; toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
4. then choose zip from internal sdcard; from there you should choose root.zip ( this root.zip was saved into your external sdcard in advance.)
5. Once done, choose reboot.
Now you new ICS is rooted.

Which zip and which sdcard, that is the question.
Hi ronnieho,
thanks for your quick response and help. I am sure you will get me running. Please give me some more details which due to my lack of experience I feel to be missing.
Please let me explain this, then you will know which details still trouble me:
Last week I managed to root my ICS SGS2 following these instructions:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...-stock-ics-firmware-ohne-flashen-kernels.html
It is in german, but based on the original thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
The german instruction was very specific about which zip to put into which (internal or external) sdcard.
The english XDA instructions are not that specific about these obviously very important details.
Would you please add these details to your instructions:
1. PC Odin CWM 5.5.0.4 into my 6800;
Does this mean, place CWM.zip into the external sdcard (i.e. /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard) of the 6800?
From the threads refered to in my first post I have CWM 5.8.1.5. May this work too? Or must it be CWM 5.5.0.4? Where can I get CWM 5.5.0.4?
2. set-up your 6800 into recovery mode ( press power & vol-up same times, release power button once your see active screen, then release vol-up button as well, you will be in CWM recovery mode;
Yes, this is how I get into recovery mode.
3. goto zip from sdcard; toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
goto _which_ zip from _which_ sdcard.
Rooting my SGS2 I used
- install zip from sdcard
Here _sdcard_ meant the external sdcard
And _zip_ meant CWM.zip.
Is this also true for your instruction step 3?
toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
Where/to what item should I apply these instructions?
4. then choose zip from internal sdcard; from there you should choose root.zip ( this root.zip was saved into your external sdcard in advance.)
So far I did not save any zip to the internal sdcard?
Should I have saved root.zip into the internal sdcard in step 1?
Which root.zip? Remember, I have CWM.zip and root.zip from the Attached Files of posting #213 by kable in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=22
Can I use these files or should I download different zip-files? From where?
Sure, I could simply try out my questions, but I am afraid to brick my Tab.
Another important detail may be that I did not use Odin to copy the zip files to the tap. In my successful rooting of the SGS2 I simply used the USB MTP connection and copied the zip-files like I copy video and audio files, and it worked. I would prefer to keep this copy practice also regarding the Tab7.7. Or must I copy with Odin? Why? Do I miss something if I copy in MTP mode? Does Odin do a different copy? Does Odin copy to different/specific sdcard locations?
I am confident that using your instruction will make the difference. Please give me the details which I feel to be missing.
Thanks!

Took the risk - Success, at last!
Since I did not get any more helpful answers, I had to reconsider the situation. Finally I decided to take the risk by using a best of
a) the xda-developers [GUIDE] Root (Updated for ICS)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112
, e.g. postings #1 by Jade Eyed Wolf, #213 by kable, #227 by ronnieho, #230 by mashkuov, etc.
b) aljee77 guide for the SGS2
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...-stock-ics-firmware-ohne-flashen-kernels.html
Trusting that the xda-developers zip-files, CWM.zip and root.zip, will be ok for the Tab7.7
and hoping that the aljee77 procedure will also work as well for my Tab7.7 as it has worked for my SGS2,
I took the risk and finally succeeded to root my Tab7.7.
My successful procedure (Thanks to aljee77 and mashkuov):
1. Data preparation (zip-files)
1.1 Downloaded CWM.zip and root.zip to my computer from mashkuov, post #230 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=23
1.2 Copy these zip files from my computer to respective sdcard in my tab.
I have the Samsung Kies drivers installed on my computer. But I do not use Odin. I connect the tab and the computer with the USB data cable and simply use the USB MTP connection. I simply copy the zip-files like I would copy video and audio files by simple Windows Explorer file-drag/drop between the the source/target location icons.
1.3 I copy CWM.zip into my _external_ SDCARD
(on the computer: GT-P6800/Card
on the tab: /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard)
1.4 I copy root.zip into my _internal_ SDCARD ( /sdcard/ ) <--- aljee77 procedure <--- :good:
(on the computer: GT-P6800/Tablet
on the tab: /sdcard/)
2. Temporary installation of CWM Recovery:
- Reboot to recovery:
2.1 Download and install LATEST SAMSUNG KIES (or stand-alone USB drivers if you can find them)
2.2 Transfer CWM.zip to the EXTERNAL CARD on Galaxy Tab 7.7 (already done in step 1.3)
2.3 Turn off the Galaxy Tab 7.7
2.4 Enter Recovery
- Hold Volume UP button + Power Button
- When TAB turns ON, RELEASE POWER BUTTON (Keep Holding Volume UP Button)
* Will Enter Recovery
2.5 In the following basic menu use Volume Up/Down to navigate and Power OFF to select/accept options!
- Choose apply update from external storage.
- Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appears.
* Now a temporary CWM is installed and activated.
* This CWM recovery is only a _temporary_ CWM and will be gone after reboot!
* see #217 by vegaman: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28300775&postcount=217
3. Install root
* Once the CWM recovery appears:
* _Touch-screen_ to navigate and to choose an option!
- install zip from sdcard (1st CWM menu)
- choose zip from internal sdcard (2nd CWM menu) <--- aljee77 procedure <--- :good:
- toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable <--- ronnieho #227 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=22
- +++ GO BACK ++++ (from 2nd to 1st CWM menu)
- reboot system now (1st CWM menu)
* After reboot your tab will be rooted and temporary CWM will be gone.
4. Enjoy!
Now the tab is rooted! Temporary CWM is gone.
Now you can download Superuser App and Superuser Elite App (both by ChainsDD) from the market.
5. If you want a permanent CWM see #220 by Handymeister: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28319010&postcount=220
- after installing temporary CWM I flashed the root.zip with it.
- then reboot
- with root I flashed the CWM with Mobile Odin and that works fine and is now resistant again

Re rooting OTA 4.3 using mskip's Nexus7 Tool Kit

IT WORKED FOR ME, BUT IT MIGHT NOT FOR YOU. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I unlocked and rooted my N7 4.2.2 wifi using this tool kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195 .
I then updated to 4.3 OTA and lost root but the bootloader was still unlocked. If yours hasn't been unlocked then this isn't for you.
Download CWM 6.0.3.5 from their website and superSU v 1.51 from the superSU site.
Down load and install the Nexus7 tool kit. (Link above)
Put the CWM .img in a folder which is inside the Nexus7 tool kits main folder in C: , the folder is easy to find as there are a few together which are used to add you own files to the phone and not the kit's built in ones, so look for the add an .img file (or something similar) and there is only one folder for adding .img files.
Put the superSU zip on your phone(if you don't know how to do this, then do not go any further and wait for a one click tool kit solution.)
I donated so I have the newest V5.0.0 but I don't think it needs to be this version as an older one should do it, because you are adding the newest files yourself.
Start the tool kit and go to main option, you need to type in 99 when you get the pick a build version screen. You will then get a big list of options.
Select 1 to add the drivers!
Then after the drivers have been installed, select option 11 and then you should have two options 1 for a non permanent flash and 2 for a permanent flash: select 1, then type the name of the file(the CWM .img which if you put it in the right folder will be shown above where you have to type the name) in and follow the instructions.
Your phone will boot into fast boot, if it wasn't already, after you followed the instructions then navigate to the zip on your phone (install from sd card?) then /0 scroll down and install the superSU zip. Then ''go back' untill it gives you the option to select no or yes connected with recovery mode, I selected yes, because most tool kit instructions seem to recommend it. Go to the superSU program and see if it opens OK and if it does, like mine did, then that's it! Rooted with no problems.
If you have used CWM before then this will be very easy for you(I've used it before). I found how to do this just by reading the instructions in the tool kit and trying it, with my fingers crossed, so READ THE INSTRUCTION IN THAT PART OF THE TOOL KIT (option 11).
This was very easy and very fast (I had been trying lots of other 4.3 toolkits but couldn't get CWM to install 'no erro'?)
I did this this morning and have since uninstalled the tool kit, because I won't use it again for a while, so this is why some of the folder names aren't exact, but you will know which ones I am talking about when you look.
If someone, who is experienced at this, wants to clarify some parts in a comment, then feel free.

Thanks!
I just did this, and wanted to revise the instructions slightly based on my experience.

I could no longer boot to recovery, so I re-flashed recovery and was fine.

"...put the superSU zip on your phone (if you don't know how to do this, then do not go any further and wait for a one click tool kit solution.)..."
Hi, nevereven...
You don't need to wait for a one click tool kit solution.
Easiest way to "put the superSU zip on your phone" is to download it directly to the Nexus 7 first, using Chrome (or whatever browser you're using) - from the link below. (Chrome will download it to the /download folder, as will most other browsers).
http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
Once CWM is flashed, navigate to the /download folder and install the SuperSU .zip.
Anyway... it's the way I'd do it (if I was a using a toolkit)

[GUIDE] How to flash Android on the HTC HD2 (LEO) with MAGLDR for Noobs

Introduction
Hey guys, I recently flashed Android 4.0.4 on the SDCard of my HTC HD2 to revive it from the dead and it worked! Although, when I was working on it, it wasn't necessarily easy and the ressources were incredibly hard to find. So I am sharing this handy guide here to make it easier for any begginers that want to bring their HTC HD2 back from the dead. Since I am also a beginner there could be mistakes or complicated sections in my guide which I would be very glad if they get pointed out below in the comments!
Happy Flashing!
Dan6erbond
NOTE: Flashing Android to the internal storage (NAND Flash) is easier and runs smoother. The HTC HD2 unfortunately only has 512 MB of internal storage which makes it almost a must to do a NativeSD Flash if you are interested in installing apps on it. If you are going for the NativeSD Flash, make sure your SDCard is at least a class 6 for a usable experience and has a capacity of >= 8 GB. I recommend using a Version of Android older than 4.0.4 to get the smoothest experience.
Steps
Unlock Bootloader with HardSPL4
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Turn off any Anti-Virus Software in case your Anti-Virus Software blocks any of the programs you try to run or files you try to download.
2. Download the HardSPL4 Package and save it in an empty folder you've prepared for all the files you will need.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run HSPL4.exe
6. Read everything and click next.
NOTE: If you plan to use MAGLDR, make sure to select HSPL2.08 in the HSPL4.exe program.
7. Once the phone has rebooted you can turn it off for now.
8. Done!
Install the latest Radio
You need to install the latest Radio on your HTC HD2 to ensure that all your communication devices such as bluetooth and WiFi will work afterwards.
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Download the latest Radio available for your device (currently 2.15.50.14).
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run CustomRUU.exe from your Radio Folder.
6. Read all the instructions and click next.
7. You will see an Update button, click on it.
8. Wait till your phone reboots.
9. Done!
Flash MAGLDR to the Device
1. Download MAGLDR 1.13 to that folder created earlier.
2. Load into the Bootloader just like you did earlier.
3. Extract the contents of the MAGLDR ZIP folder and launch the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Make sure you are logged in as Administrator or launch the App as Administrator.
4. Tick the box labeled confirm and click next.
5. Repeat step 4.
6. Select update.
7. Verify the image being flashed say 2.00.000.0 and select next.
8. Read the process list and select next.
9. Once the process is done your phone will reboot.
10. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to the internal storage (NAND Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. 4GB should be enough for most Android ROMs.
1. Download any Android ROM you wish to install on the HTC HD2. Make sure that it's compatible with your device. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tytung which runs excellent on the internal storage as well as of an SDCard.
2. Copy the downloaded ZIP folder to your SDCard.
3. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
4. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option AD Recovery and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
5. Navigate to Update from SDCard and select it.
6. Select select ZIP file from SDCard and select the ZIP file that contains the ROM.
7. Select YES...
8. Your phone will now install the ROM and ask if you would like to Reboot. Select Yes and your phone will boot Android after showing a menu in which you do not have to do anything. The first boot might take a little longer.
9. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to an SDCard (NativeSD Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. I recommend at least 8GB Class 6 or higher SDCard for most Android ROMs to run smoothly and properly.
Install 4EXT Recovery
NOTE2: You might need to install the 4EXT Recovery on your device. Please comment below if you needed to but here is how it goes:
1. Download 4EXT Recovery and copy the ZIP file to an SDCard.
2. Insert the SDCard into your device and launch the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
3. Select Services.
4. Select Boot Settings.
5. Select AD SD Dir.
6. Select the ZIP file you just copied to the SDCard.
7. Go back to the MAGLDR Boot Menu and select Boot AD SD.
8. Done!

1. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
2. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option Services and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
