Update fixed the SD was broken I don't exactly know why but it explains everything so thanks for all your help and sorry for not being very
clear.
Hi I'm having issues with clockworkmod.
See the problem is while trying to flash cyanogen mod I was getting the endless loop so I kept
at it until I managed to flash it. The problem is I flashed Cm6.1.0 so easy fix right? Well I thought so too until clockworkmod wouldn't find the zip. So I tried nandroid and it again couldn't find any zip so I checked the partitions menu and clockworkmod had mounted the
Sd card and the cache. So I unmounted both and still nothing so I looked at the setting's again and it remounts the cache and sometimes the Sd card. Well my problem is worsened by
the fact that the version of cyanogen mod that did flash doesn't have the market or flash.
Any help will be welcome. HTC aria.

With CM 6, the Market is in the GoogleApps zip which must be installed after the ROM.
Also Flash 10.x does not run on the Aria; the CPU is not supported by Adobe.
Well clockworkmod won't find any zip not even nandroid and so my problem deepens so now can't get the market crap.

Some of your terminology in your post is very confusing. First of all, ClockworkMod will only find ZIP files that are copied to the root directory of your SD card. If you copied them to a folder on your SD card, CWM will not find them.
Second, Nandroid is a backup and restore utility and it does not use ZIP files. It creates backup folders on the SD card under /clockworkmod/backup and contains image files of the various partitions on your phone.
So what is the exact state of your phone? You stated that you have flashed CM 6.1? If you boot your phone normally, does CM 6 start up and are you able to use your phone? In order to install gapps.zip file to get the Market app, copy the gapps.zip file to the root of your SD card and see if ClockworkMod can install it. BTW, in CWM you are select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard", right?

Not true, you can install ZIP files from any directory.

Thanks for correcting my misinformation. I guess the root location only applies to "update.zip", right?
Yup. And it actually must be named "update.zip"
Oh crap I just formated the boot partition and now my phone won't boot at all!
It still won't find any zip. What now? Is there any way to restore clockworkmod?

Are you copying the zip files from your PC to the sd card? Have you tried downloading a ROM zip file directly to your SD card using your phone's browser?
I have exactly the same problem...Clockwork will not see any .zip files....even tried mounting usb storage from cwm, it mounts and the zips are there, yet it can not find any of them when i try to find them (all are in the root of the sdcard)...any ideas?
So if you pick "choose zip from SD" you can't manually pick a zip?

Found a solution:
1. Get SD card formatter from HERE
2. Plugin your phone (as USB drive), start up the application and format the card (default options selected) NOTE: backup your SD card to your PC first (obviously)
3. Unplug the phone (or put it into charge mod, whatever)
4. The phone should now try (and fail) to mount the card...go to the SD options and format the card using the phone function
The .zip files should now be visible in ClockworkMod Recovery (it worked for me and a few others as far as i know)
Once i get the update flashed to the sdcard, i start in recovery and run "apply sdcard:update.zip" and i get a error message "E:signature length doesn't match EOCD marker". Then it aborts. Why is this?
Because the file is not called update.zip and most likely not on the root of your SD card. Instead of apply update.zip, choose install zip from SD card and choose it yourself
I had to rename it update minus the .zip
& also take the zip file out of the download file & just place it on the sd
sent from the DX
its def in the root folder..
unzip and put it in the root folder? what do i run when i set it in recovery?
Are you using stock recovery or clockworkmod?

sorry that was confusing on my part, I downloaded the file thru my phone which automatically threw it in my download folder... had to connect to my laptop & move it from the download folder out to the sd card & rename it update, no need for the .zip at the end like the instructions say to.... & don't unzip! hope that helps

Finally took the unlock/root/rom plunge and have been enjoying ICS (nightly 14) for a few days now. With nightly 16 it seemed to make sense to update. When i put the .zip on the SD card and tried to use CWMOD to install it gave an error "(Bad)" on the operation after opening the ZIP.
i downloaded again, tried again, no change, then started messing around to get it to work (should have known better). Now, if I boot in CWMOD and select install zip from SD / choose ZIP i see all the folders on my internal memory: all the folders for alarms. music, pictures, etc. I can put the release .zip in there and it will see it, but still fails on the install.
If I look with root explorer (or other tools) when i look in mnt/sdcard it has all the folders for alarms. music, pictures, etc. I can also see /mnt/external1 which is the SD card and does have the files on it.
once booted, from PC I see "Internal Storage" and "SD Card" which look as i would expect and contain the correct files (ie: "SD Card" contains the ROM files)
I've tried another SD card, with no change.
So, somehow i think i have a pointer messed up so SD points to internal memory.
I've tried all the wipes i can find, but can't get past it. Any suggestions on how to reset, or wipe it more fully, would be appreciated.

You see everything in your internal storage (32gb) also called sdcard, because I think you allowed Rom Manager to update your recovery to whatever is newest (4.0.0.4 ?) but that version doesn't play nice with the Xoom's external micro sdcard. This is a known issue, and I and others have written about this a million times, but anyway, you need to reflash the solarnz R4c recovery v 3.2. 0.0 image file through fastboot with your micro sdcard mounted in your Xoom. Then, after that, you can flash from the micro sdcard to your heart's content. The micro sdcard is located at mnt/external1. I don't even use Rom Manager for anything. If you just press the power button as if to actually power down, I think you'll get the boot menu to boot into recovery very easily, if you don't feel comfortable doing it manually. Or you can download Quick Boot.

I recall having a similar issue with loading zip files onto the SD card and then trying to flash it just to get an error.
The only was I had a work around for that was to only load the zip file THROUGH CWM. By selecting Mounts and storage > Mount USB, then it takes up to 1 minute for my computer to see the sdcard (removable disk). Then I just transfer the zip to the SD card by this method and then when its done, I return to the main menu and go about the process of flashing.
The rogue recovery works just as well and has a few more options than the tiamat recovery. It also supports internal and external sdcards as well as toggling the backup and/or wipe of /data/media. Just my opinion and preference.

First of all a big THANKS! I successfully installed the triple boot SD Card. I see there is an update with a new zip file. As a newby I want to make sure I understand correctly: I will burn the zip img to a clean SD Card, install it, power up, and basically follow the steps previously including flashing the gapps, etc. I can then copy anything I have in the old SD Card 7th partition to the new 7th partition. Is that correct? I am asking to make sure I don't just copy something into the existing partitions on the existing SD Card.
When I updated racks triple boot, i did not reinstall Gapps. Just reloaded everything from my Titanium bu and there it all was.
Thanks
Thanks, that is a good idea. May I ask, did you use your existing SD Card and put the zip on the 7th partition and use a blank formatted SD Card. I just wonder if the zip will create new partitions or simply overwrite the existing files in the existing partitions.

You don't need a blank formatted card. The zip overwrites files in the existing partitions on your current SD but doesn't create new ones. Nothing on the 7th partition (the SD partition) is affected, nor are your downloaded market apps in the /data partitions. Personally, I have created a folder in the emmc for all the flashable zips. The CWM recovery allows you to install the zips from the internal sd (emmc) instead of the sd sd (7th partition). That way, I can flash zips to a backup or test sd, and flash to my working sd if everthing's OK.
Thanks again
Thanks once again. Those are good ideas and I will use them also. I may have been over-thinking the update but this is all new to me. Thanks again.
Can I add my inquisition to this thread as well? It is exactly what I was wondering....
I have spent a few up and running using the Triple Boot directions found here. Everything has been rock solid.
Now I'm interested in upgrading. Just wanted to make sure I understood this correctly:
1. Since the image I flashed is dated 3/4/12. then does it have all of the changes up to then already baked in? If not....
2. I don't need to do incremental updates, correct? I can just flash the newest images, right?
3. Since the primary (and I believe secondary as well) ROMs have been changed, I need to "boot into the CWM that is included with the dualbootSD and go to "mounts and storage" and choose to format "/system1" "/data1". Remember to also wipe cache."
4. I will need to reinstall all of the following?: gapp and the calendar-email-tts fix even if installing the latest release
Thanks so much. Loving what I've been able to do so far...but just had too many questions to proceed forward with any degree of confidence.
Thanks!

Although a newby I think I can help as I went through the same process. Of course this applies only to Racks triple boot option and how I have done it.
1) What he is doing is upgrading the complete zip file with the most current files so it is complete as in the first install. You could actually install it following the original install instructions.
2) Correct
3) No, it will overwrite any existing files in the partitions with the new, upgraded files.
4) If you have used Titanium to back up your apps and data(which I recommend) - Titanium is one of the apps Racks includes - then no. Once you boot up, etc and have everything running you can run Titanium to restore your apps and data.
Remember that if you update only from the zip you will only have those apps and data that were included originally. Your SDCard partition will remain unchanged so if you have apps/data on that partition then those will simply have to be reloaded/restored.
Hope this helps.
Great...had to give you a "Thanks".
I figured he was updating the original install to include newest upgraded files. Maybe the DualBoot image is not 100% updated? (The image I just installed was dated 3/4, but there are updates dated 3/6 and 3/26). Not sure if I should update those or not.
The file I installed was Mirage_CM7_ICS_CM9_DualbootSD.img.zip dated 3/4/12. I have not yet installed any updated.
Thanks for the additional info. I actually didn't have anything of consequence up to this point as I just decided to do a fresh install on a new 8GB Sandisk card with slightly better random write speeds than the old 4GB card. No data of consequence will be lost, but I will look into Titanium for the future upgrades.
Thanks!
Nice. Did the updates, but had to reinstall gapps. Will try titanium next time. Loving being able to mess around with ICS. Will have to play around as I get more time.
One last question....I only downloaded and updated the mirage CM7 and Encore CM9 files.
I did not update and encore MIUI files, as, if I understand this correctly, this will take the place of my current mirage CM7 boot image...so I will have this brand new interface.
With the Triple boot, you get a flavor of ICS, but you need to choose whether you waint either "CM7 mirage" or "MIUI". And if I choose MIUI...I need to decide whether I want ICS or GB. Is that about right?
Thanks.
Thanks!
Hi friend, im a noob here, I need some help
I bought Oneplus 5 Chinese version with Hydrogen Os.
I follow all steps, download the full oxygen rom + OTA on 3 different links and downloaded the adb and minimal fastboot.
i made all steps doing the developer android activation on OS, usb debugging and etc.
i booted it on recovery chosen adb installation and made all prompt commands, when it start to install it failed on 0% and the phone gives me the Installation Failed note, I need to know if the correct rom is that folder or zip that I download on one plus site. when I copy the *.zip or folder to internal storage on the phone it doesn't recognize on that system update menu with local update. I have tried many times and with different forms, what I did wrong?
sorry my bad English because im from Brazil.. thks!

Put the OOS rom in the root directory of your sdcard (not in a subfolder), then boot into recovery and choose install from internal storage. After flashing the rom do a data factory reset and you should be good to go. Don`t know for sure if you have to unlock the bootloader first because its a Chinese device.

The doubt is I really don't know if the correct (FULL OXYGEN ROM) file to copy is a zip file or any other extension file? I downloaded on website, inside it has some folders and some IMG and DAT files.
when you said SD CARD you mean put the zip file inside a REAL SD CARD? or you mean the internal storage on the phone?
i have copied the downloaded zip file on internal storage root, and when I made a boot recovery and chosen the internal storage it finds the zip file but again when I proceed the installation it gives me again the INSTALLATION FAILED MSG..
does the OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_010_all_1707032122_2a134296766a4804.zip on one plus site?
is that the correct file? thks

I meant the internal storage as there is no actual sdcard slot. and yes this OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_010_all_1707032122_2a134296766a4804.zip is the correct file. Do not extract the rom.zip! As i said maybe you have to unlock the bootloader first in order to flash the rom but that is not the case as i read. So put the downloaded OTA.zip on the sdcard, wipe cache and flash it in recovery in install from internal storag and the factory reset. There are several video`s on YouTube on how to do it https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=...LyJ4Ho&usg=AFQjCNEFn7t35Gdh9Vzxxwfe4oBMs4EH_Q.
