Everytime I go to install a ROM in Safestrap I get the error "unable to open zip file". I'm moving the files over USB from Windows. The issue appears to be the transfer process from Windows to the phone as md5 checks out after I download from the internet to my PC and attempting to open the zip on my PC from the plugged in phone results in an error. Is anyone else running into something similar?
I forgot to mention that SD encryption is off.
Fixed with an SD format.

I have been trying to remove files from my SD-card by connecting my phone to my computer and remove files from the SD. So I delete the files, disconnect my phone and everything is ok but when I use AndExplorer I see that the files are still there. So I delete them with AndExplorer instead and everything is fine, but when I connect my phone to the computer again nothing has changed. I don't get any error when writing/reading to the SD but it doesn't seem to have any effect when I unmount and mount my phone again.
I have also been noticing some problems when starting the camera when it tries to "prepare sd" and save pictures wich I haven't had before. I think these problems started after my phone fell on the floor. Could it have been that the SD-card ejected it self and got corrupt?
How do I solve this? Should I buy a new SD or is there a way to fix this?
I'm running VanillaEclair 2.0.1 NAS if that's any help.
Okay, I found a similar thread on androidcommunity.

I will try to format the card.
Kind of a newb here, but got mine rooted and got clockworkmod installed, seems to be working, but now I cant get my sd card to mount on my computer or on the phone... on the computer it just won't show up, even when I put the phone in the right mode, and the directory for the card will show up in clockwork, but whenever I try to load anything with clockwork(dl09_2.zip) i get a looping error that it can't mount the directory, eventually timing out saying:
E:Can't mount SDCARDL09_2.zip
Installation Aborted
E:Can't mount /devblock/mmcblk0 (or dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(Device or resource busy)
It does exactly the same thing with both of the .zip I put on the SD card, before the computer stopped mounting it.
Any ideas?
Try rebooting the phone while its plugged in to the computer.
There are issues with CWM in 2.2.
Look for JT's patch to clockwork in dev or use Neumann.Tim's recent link to it in Repaz's tons of trouble thread
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
Got the sd card to mount on the computer (I think that was a silly mistake of not properly un-mounting it in windows)
I am not using 2.2 though... and still having getting the error whenever I try to load any rom from CWM, it cannot mount the sdcard, says device or resource is busy. Any ideas? anyone?
Ug! I can load apk's with astro... so the phone will talk to the sdcard... I guess I will try to re-install the rom manager? anyone have any ideas?

I had the exact problem as you. After reading 100s of messages I found one that said to reformat the SD card. I copied the sd card files to computer, formated the card, and moved the needed ROM files back to the card. Downloaded Rom Manager/clockworkmod again. It was then able to mount the SD card and installed. Just copy the the rest of the files from computer to SD card.
Worked for me, YMMV.
I didn't reformat, but I did delete the rom manager and the copy of update.zip on the sd card, then used the CWRecovery.tar and redownloaded the app, and it works!
I have attempted to root my NST with Glowlight using thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675706. I used dd to write the image to my SD card. The install file automatically decompressed, so I decompressed it. I copied it onto the root of the SD card. I followed the instructions to get it to install, and every time I try it just says "installing update... Instillation aborted". Any thoughts? Thanks.
Looks like I fixed that issue. I downloaded it using Firefox instead of Safari and saves the zip without automatically decompressing and used that, which worked.
i deleted all of my system apps by mistake and now my phone is stuck in boot loop i have no way of getting into recovery HELP
Flash the rom you are on and voila.
And if you don't know which rom it is, then pick something close to it.
Google intolerant download Mode and Flash a Rom via Odin...
I have no access to a PC
Put the installation zip file on your SD card and install it from there.
You need a pc. There is no other way.
Well, if none of your friends have PC, maybe they can find a WiFi hot-spot somewhere and download a ROM via his phone. Then save it to its internal memory. You give him your SD card and he copies it to it... A bit of procedure, but with no PC, you have to be creative!
Hey guys!
im in a serious condition right now and i really need your help,
I've wiped everything on my device, and wanted to copy my new rom and install it from scracth (not my first time doing so).
So after the wipe i've used TWRP mount with MTP as usual, and pc indeed recongized my empty internal storage.
but than i discovered i cannot copy anything to it! the copying proccess just stuck as if its not really recongizes my device!
I basically don't have a phone right now, and have no idea whats my next step.
please help ! :crying:
Update: I've tried copying no limit's rom via sideload but it says "cannot read zip file"
I had a similar problem yesterday i guess i made some mess inside the "mount" option. I solved that way: switched the mtp enabled and then i reboot the twrp, right at the the reboot swipe to allow modification and that's It. Pc now can see and transfer file in the phone
