    installation aborted EVERY time!!!

    Every time I try to install a .zip file I get this error:
    "finding update package"
    "opening update package"
    That will pop up and quickly disappear then take me back to the main menu. This happened's to all the .zip files that I tried installing. (tried both named update.zip and the name it came with when I downloaded it on the computer).
    I tried this by using ROM manger, and holding X and the power button. I've tried using Clock mod and SPRrecovery and nothing still. People have been saying that the file is corrupt. I've tried different files and still get that error.
    Anyway to fix this?

    If the zip file you are trying to install is an update then you will have to remove the root because either clockwork or SPRecovery will block the update. I see your frustration in your post but that's the best guess I have based on the information you gave us.

    There is no allow installation from SD card to check. Are you talking about while your in SPRecovery tapping that one box that says it's OK to do install?

    No such item exist in Clockwork so the OP wouldn't have that issue that way.

    It isn't a update for the phone, I justed changed the file name to Update.zip. The files I try to install are Themes for bugless beast.

    In SPR it's under install menu right above the actual installation selection. It says allow update.zip. The file would need to be named update.zip in this case. update.zip not Update.zip

    Hook is right, there is no "allow" option in CW, in this case you do not need to rename to update.zip. In CW you would select install .zip file from sd card and then select .zip, then you can scroll and select the file to install.

    Right now im in SPRecovey I have two options the first one is
    "Allow update.zip installation" This option dosen't do anything when I press it.
    The second is:
    " install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated)" This gives me:
    finding update package...
    opening update package...
    verifying update package...
    installing update package...
    installation aborted.
    EDIT:
    Theres another option
    Choose ROM from SD card
    Pressing this say's
    E: no tar archives found
