Put the ROM in the LOST folder. (mnt/external_sd/LOST)
well I tried it but still same outcome I don't know what is going on any more ideas guys
CWM commonly has trouble reading some SD cards. Either try formatting it in a phone, or try a different card.
finally got it guys it was the file name it was labeled taboonay 1.1.zip; i had to rename it without the semi colon thanks for all your help

Just got my A7 today. Had I known that an android device could not automatically acces android market I would not have bothered.
Trying to download Dexters mod. I think i'm following directions but am completely lost. I down load the link and get 5 files listed
1. meta inf
2. bootloader
3. boot
4. recovery
5. system
I save them to microsd card, rename the file to Update.zip, follow the rest of the instructions. DOES NOT WORK!!
I've tried Update.zip, update.zip, ive compressed the files then saved them to the card, ive reformatted, i've checked the download amount=100.... etc.
Please help- no links just directions step by step please.
Do not unzip the files.
Rename the compressed files to "Update.zip"
Copy to sd card.
Then, follow directions as stated on page one of ROM thread.
tried A7 still says no

Try downloading it again. You might get the whole download, but a portion of it might be corrupt. Happens all the time.

If you are using a windows computer you just need to rename the file to Update. Not Update.zip. The .zip is already there, you just don't see it. If you rename it to Update.zip it actually makes it Update.zip.zip.
What method are you using to update? I suggest booting into recovery and then updating. Here is a link to a video on how to boot into recovery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZypl3lYUdQ

Another user had similar problems. Read thru the following thread. I posted some step by step instructions there.

You also might need to format the SD card to FAT32.

Seems like you will not be happy with this device. Why not return it and get a device that has access to the market built in?

you are a genius. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All this on a new vibrant using the stock 2.1
I've rooted the phone with one click. I've used oneclick as admin to run the 3s update.
I have update.zip loaded onto the root of my phone(not sd card)
I have clockwork recovery on my phone and i have done a backup
I have booted to recovery mode from Rom Manager then when i try to install zip from sd it takes me to a directory.
I select zip from sd card
I select sd/ and my nothing is showing there just keeps taking me back to the directory and telling me "no files found"
Sooo then i tried flash rom from sd in rom manager and it starts to flash then give a message "no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext" then it tells me to reboot.
What am i doing wrong I've been working on this since yesterday morning with no success.
sd-ext is the external sd card not the build in 16gb.
Put one microsd in with the rom you want to flash.
You need to put the rom you want to flash in the internal sd card, not the external sd.

I had done that in the first place and then when i went to boot the screen was all distorted and i couldn't see what it said so i flashed the stock rom back.
I just tried again and it said to reboot so i did and now my toxic rom seems to be working just fine. Thanks for the input
Following verygreen's directions, I got his installer image onto the sd card (but had to rename it to end in ".img". I removed the card and put it back in the PC, and when I try to put the CM7 file on it, it says card needs to be formatted to use it. I think if I format, it will remove the installer image. Should I have formatted it first? I'm sorry if this sounds really basic (and stupid), but, please help.
So I formatted the card, and put verygreen's image installer back on, removed the card and inserted it again and again get formatting message. It's a sandisk 8gb, new.
According to the directions, I need the image installer on the card and then the CM7 file? I've read and re-read directions and searched links for information on what to do next ???
I think you messed up on the very first step. The file ending .gz is a zip file. I used WinRar to unzip it. There is a .img file inside that you flash to your card.

Thank you, and you're absolutely right, I messed up from the git go. I did finally learn I needed to unzip it, and things went well from there. Quite amazing! Now I need to do a search for the Netflix fast forward (chipmunks) fix.
There's plenty out there on the Netflix thing
good afternoon
I have an ACER Iconia Tab to 500 HC 3.2 and using the second method of this post (Revert OTA 3.2 back to 3.0.1) and gets the android logo and a yellow triangle, someone might say it is?
Or if someone knows how to connect this tablet in Windows XP
thanks
Did you remember to extract the zip file that was in that post? The file that is to be extracted is update_not_stable.zip. Once you extract that, there should be a file that is called "update.zip". Make sure that is the file that is on your external SD card.
yes, I put the update.zip on the microsd and also have put the update.zip for content if that, but it works.
thanks
So does that mean you got it to work? I'm not sure if I fully understand your last post.
my English is disastrous to use a translator to express myself. Did not mean that workers but does not perform the recovery
Could you possibly outline the steps your performed so far, and perhaps I or someone more knowledgeable than I can offer better assistance.
I followed the steps are:
1 - I downloaded the file.
2 - I've extracted and copied to the microsd (update.zip) formatted to fat32
3 - I turned on the Iconium and has begun "erasing cache beforing SD update... booting recovery kernel image"
4 - android robot appears with a band and then carrying out erde a triangle with an exclamation in the middle of the icon.
Hmmmmm, I can't see anything that jumps out at me as being some wrong.
The update.zip is still zipped right? You right clicked on "downgrade_not_stable", extracted that, removed update.zip and out that file (which will be unzipped) into the root of your external SD card.
There is also the off chance that the file you downloaded got corrupted for whatever reason. If it won't work perhaps you can try to download it again and follow the steps.
hello,
i have the same problem. I did the same : unzipped, put on the external sdcard the file and I have the logo of the bot with the yellow triangle..
I downloaded again and again, restart from the beginning and I can't downgrade.
someone has an idea why it doesn't work ?
Thanks
same issue with mine... not too sure why i'm getting the error as I've been able to do things with the SD card before, so I don't think its an SD card problem.
Not SD problem
I already tried with differentes SD cards. They all work, but unable to start the downgrading !!
Maybe the file is not compatible with my tablet. How can we check ?

What tab to you have? The A500?
Make sure that it is the file "update.zip" that is on your sd card. Make sure this update.zip is still a zipped file.
Other than that, I don't know what could be wrong. I did the downgrade with no issues.
Thanks for the answer.
My tablet is an iconia A500.
I unzipped the file downloaded, that gave an update.zip. I put it on the SD card. The tablet recognized the file but stop just after find it.
I have no idea whatelse to do.
TRy and try again.
Finally it worked !!!
It was a download problem in fact for me.
I hope it can help.
maybe i'll try downloading on another computer (this one has XP?) and see if that makes a lick of difference. this is getting frustrating.
Still no go. Even did everything just on the iconia and still get the yield sign when trying to recover during boot.
Hi , I did it right now and it worked , installed iconiaroot and CWM and all went fine, but I have another problem now :
external miniSD can't be seen anymore and I'm not able to install any custom rom . If I go to recovery and pushing "install zip from" : it always goes to E: directory sdcard (and it 's not found)
Is there anyone that can help me ?
Thanks

Hello,
I had this problem with the update of tabonay. The problem was a ";" at this end of the file :update.zip
Retry and check you have a .zip at the root of the external SD card
Hi
The problem is that I can't see neither micro sd external card nor USB pen anymore on my system
Please help
Thanks
Great that It worked for you, It doesn't work for me, do you think this will work with a USB since I can't get it to work with an SD

If the folder doesnt exist then create it yourself. You want t install MS2G try this one "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604501". no need to put in clockwordmod folder. just download and install from recovery. Hit thanks, if it helps.
