trying to flash a rom

hi i just rooted my vibrant with galaxy rooter app. and now i am trying to flash 2.1 i copied the folder to both sd and internal and when i reboot in recovery i dont see the update.zip please help
it says no such file. : (. i renamed it update.zip still does not work help......
first things first, I HIGHLY recommend downloading ROM Manager from the market, then from rom manager app, flash "Clockwork Recovery". Once you have that.....
When you plug in your phone into your computer, two new drives will appear in "My Computer" on your computer, one is i think 12 gb and it will have a bunch of folders/files, this is where you need to put the *.zip DON'T rename it update.zip, I suggest you name it something like vibrant2.1custom.zip or something so you know what it is.
Once you have your zip on the root of your sd, boot into recovery. Clockwork recovery should start, if not click on "reinstall packages". this will start the clockwork recovery. you will now be at a kind of teal colored recovery. From here i STRONGLY recommend you go to nandroid and do a backup. once the back up is done. go to the main screen and you will see "install zip from sdcard" click on that then select "choose zip from sdcard" it will list all the files and folders on your sd card go down to your .zip (vibrant2.1custom.zip) click on that then click on yes
You should be good to go.
Good Luck

ok i am having problem flashing the rom it just stays stuck on instating update
I've moved this thread to general.

i have two recovery ; clockworkMod and (2e)

when i enter the recovery mode
i got into Android system recovery (2e)
then i choose apply sdcard:update.zip
then it forward me to ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5..
then i choose apply sdcard:update.zip again..
then it rebooted and back to system recovery (2e) again
what should i do to fix this ? i want to update my ROM
If your custom ROM can be flashed via cwm, go save it in your internal sd then use the install zip in sd card option in cwm.
I suggest you do a full nandroid back-up first just to be on the safe side...
thanks for reply..
i think i can't use cwm anymore to flash.. since it keeps looping between this two recovery mode.. i just flash it using odin, now i'm runnning original firmware 2.1
but i still see those two recovery mode.. how to remove one of them ?
When you get into Clockwork, don't press the "apply update.zip".
Select "install zip from sdcard" and locate your roms .zip and install it.
Read the instructions again and again until you understand it. It's obvious that you have no idea what you are doing.

If I understand your post correctly, you are having trouble getting into CWM after installing it. I had the same thing on my phone.
When going into recovery, you hold down the power button, the home button and the volume up button and release the home button when the Samsung screen appears. I tried releasing the power button when the Samsung screen appears and it goes into CWM recovery.

Flashing Help

Ok guys I really need your help. I messed up flashing and because I did things in the wrong order. Here's what I did:-
1. I upgraded gen1 to gen 2
2. I then wiped data/factory reset without flashing clockworkmod recovery.
3. The phone then rebooted and stayed on the green man screen and thats it.
4. I managed to finally find a clockworkmod that would work v3.0.1.4 none of the others came on, it just stayed at the green man screen.
5. I try flashing and all it say's:-
Install from sd card
Finding update
opening update
E:Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
I did another phone at christmas and that worked fine because I did it in the right order. But I do remember when I flashed the clockworkmod it was green and upsidedown, but I can't find one that does that now.
Is the rom you're trying to install called update.zip? If not then choose the option "Install rom from sd card" and select the rom.

How to install gapp into CM9 by tezet

hi,i flashed the last cm9 by tezet,but i can not get into the stock recovery by using X.
is there another way to install gapp?
PS:sorry i cant reply in Milestone 2 Android Development.
You can access Clockwork Mod by pressing the volume buttons when the notificats LED turns on during boot. From there you should be able to flash the gapps zip from "install zip from sd card"

[Q] OmegaRom 21.1 No boot after install

Hello,
OmegaRom 21.1 No boot after install
I followed precisly the instructions from indie.
But after install omega rom 21.1 He stuck on booting my Phone. the omega logo is still spinning around.
The Bootloader and radio files are update first with odin, no problems with that..
I tryed the Echoe rom (4.4.2) and he's booting perfect.
For all people who want to say "read the manual" i flashed thousand times several phones with no problem.
I dont know it anymore.
Someone ideas ?
btw this is my first thread. all the other problems ever, i have solved them with reading at XDA Developers.

Try to do a fullwipe before flashing the rom then in Aroma do another fullwipe and flash away. make sure You have TWRP Recovery.

YESYES it works !!
Thanx Repulsa for your answer.
I will explane how i have fixed it.
FIrst Bootloader and Radio files flashed with Odin 3.09 (i had no problems, what helped me, select first the files in Odin after that, connect your phone)
Install TWRP v2.6.3.1.
OmegaRom v21.1 @internal storage
Boot into recovery menu twrp
Make a backup from your android system (i checked all the marks)
After backup follow the next steps,
Touch "wipe" button
Touch "Advanced Wipe"
Check "Dalvik Cache"
Check "System"
Check "Data"
Check "Cache"
Then "swipe to wipe"
Uncheck "Reboot"
Install "OmegaRom v21.1" select "Full Wipe"
After install uncheck "reboot"
Select "wipe cache and Dalvik"
Then Reboot
This Works for me after 1000 times trying to install OmegaRom v21.1
