put clockwork on and all that, and put update.zip on sd card but when i go on clockwork and go to apply update.zip it says no file called update.zip

ive tried taking it off the sd, and putting it back on etc but nothing happens.

Hey there buddy!

Well what is your device the Orange San Fransico?

Are you using ROM manager or recovery method?

Plz let me know i will try my best to help you!
 
using clockwork recovery 2.5.1.3

using Japanese_Jellyfish_RLS6.zip

san francisco

updated the firmware with the update.zip

its stuck on the black android screen with silver android waves....

ive tried it 3 times now, just stays on it....not sure what to do now :(
 
Make sure this isn't a file browser issue with hidden file extents - 90% of the time, this problem is that the file is named update.zip.zip.

PS - Moved you to where I think you can get the most help.
 
i had named it update.zip and when it first went on clockwork it was update.zip.zip then i changed it to update only assmining it would be update.zip it updated then when i pressed reboot system now it started booting, green droid then the black screen with silver android....and it just stays on it
 
Yeap - your in a fight with the file browser and it's gonna win that way.

Suggest you go into your file browser prefs, set it to show known file type extents, see what it's named and fix.

Entirely possible that change to "update" made it just that.

Next time just choose the option further down the list "install zip from SD card", then "choose zip from SD card". You then get a file manager type of screen and you can go straight to your update rom, no matter what it's name is.
 
your best bet is to use the JJ rls6 IMAGE
This will repartion your phone to make /Data bigger, and will keep clockwork
WIN


EDIT: update to seb's new ClockWork, no bugs
