Are you selecting flash zip from sd card or apply update.zip? You need to flash from sd card and it needs to be in the root oid card

Update to RA Recovery or the latest WM.

If i use ra recovery, do i need to remove cwm?

Idk, maybe i was just tired. I was able to successfully flash flexreaper ics. I guess my only concern now is my backed up roms dont show up in rom manager, running v 5.0.0.6. Any idea why? (cwm is version 5.5.0.4, if it matters)

Rom Manager is a phone app. I'd advise not using it for the 500/501. Unless they changed something in the past month, you could really wonk up your tab.
Check your Ext SD card. You should have a folder called Clockwork, which contains your recovery backups. (unless you already formatted your SD card)
When you make a recovery (either CWM or RA), you should boot to the recovery, and do your recovery backup/nand backup from there. NOT through Rom Manager.

Help flashing ROM?

Hey guys! I need some help flasing this ROM on my Nexus 7, [ROM] Eclipse 2.1 Grouper - Build 1 - Welcome to the Dark!! (10/12/12)....
Every single time I try to flash it, it never works. I do the following, I install goomanager and flash TWRP recovery. I install all the necessary things to get it running. I transfer the ROM along with the zip file to flash google apps to the internal storage. I then boot to recovery, wipe/cashe/factory reset/devlik. But then I lose the files and cant flash the ROMs. I just flashed stock google jelly bean. Any suggestion/help with this?

Install Clockworkmod recovery, then make a full wipe and flash the rom

I find it easiest to download directly to my N7 "sd card". I use CWM but reboot to recovery, wipe data and then flash ROM from zip on the "sd card" and then reboot.

So, when I do the factory reset, it'll wipe the internal storage but not the 'sd card'?

Yes, only internal storage

Alright, now how do I get there? I used EZ File Explorer and placed the 2 zip files in the download file. Is that the correct place?

Any location is good, just to be on the sd card

I normally just leave it in the download folder. In order to flash it, you just go into recovery and do your steps. When it asks for a location, just direct it to the folder you placed it in and flash.
p.s. don't forget about wipe

Nevermind! I got it to work! I left it out in the root folder like you guys said and the file was still there after the reset! Flashed ROM to the eclipse ROM! Thanks for all your help! :victory: ^_^

Glad you got it to work, but to answer your question, you wipe first then flash the new rom (so you have a clean slate). You don't want to install over other roms unless maybe if it was a minor update of the same rom.

Hey guys i created a zip that mounts your internal sd as external sd and your external sd as internal sd. So more space for swap link2sd and downloads and other things.

Hi, do you flashed it in cwmr?
If I want to revert back, is it possible?
Do I need to start from fresh, ie factory reset, reinstall my apps? Maybe I just need to use Titanium Backup to restore my apps. Is that correct?
I have 2 devices, nexus 7 and note 2 LTE. I guess this will only work for note 2 LTE. Is that correct?

Yes flash in cwm.
If apps are on external move them to phone memory.
Then reboot recovery.
Flash zip.
Reboot .
move all apps to sd .
View storage settings.
Thank me...

Please provide revert back solution

Revert is just install the rom again.
For example i flashed this on cm9.
Then to revert do this.
1. Reboot recovery
2. Flash cm9 and gapps
3. Reboot
Now u reverted.
