Can you not just plug the phone into usb and put the update.zip on the SD card?
Failing that, use a card reader.

you can download it from the fakeflash thread
Or download rom manager and extract it from the rom manager folder that is created on your SD.
So many options
oki i have rom manager installed should i just rename the recovery_update.zip to updtae.zip and then out in the root of my sc card ?
Just keep ROM Manager installed and click Flash Recovery. ROM Manager is a useful tool to have.

Yes, do exactly that. I like to have update.zip on the SD and rom manager. i use the update.zip incase I get a boot loop and cant get into rom manager.

I am having a strange problem when I try to flash a rom. When I boot into recovery and choose file from SD card it is showing a listing of files that do not correspond to what is on the SD card, they are an old listing of files.
If I take out the SD card and go in it correctly shows no files. I have done a complete format of the SD card and put the ROM on and I can see it fine in Windows but when i reboot the old files are listed....Also I can see the correct ROM ok within the phone when using ROM Manager but then it reboots into recovery and then can't find the file!!
It must be some issue with the SD card any idea how i can fix it?

Have you rooted you phone eg. with unrevoked 3...?
Yes I have, everything has been working great until now.
I can still use everything in the phone and apps2sd+ is working. Astro file manager lists files on sd card.
but in recovery there are old folders and an old rom that i flashed a while ago.
WTF
i think flash orginal again...maybe from provider´s site (on my o2 site is a original) or from xda devs rom´s thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
and start from zero:
unrevoke again....change radio...change rom...
with kind regards...Alex
edit: if you don´t have it...make a ext3 with rom manager
recreated the partitions in linux and everything is ok now...strange

Yes. Otherwise everytime you go into bootloader, your phone will try to flash it.

thanks. what can't i delete from the sd card? can i delete things after i have installed them from ROM manager? i just overclocked my cpu, so can i now delete the "update.zip" installation file from the sd card? Also, all the other files i now have on there from the downgrade/root/S-OFF. which files do i need to keep on there?
You don't need to keep any of the rooting files on the sd card, or any flashable zips.
Although it is recommended to save the part*backup files to your computer at least.

Ok, I really messed up. the phone was almost bricked, but I finely managed to
get back to Clockwork Recovery.
Now I want to restore my backup or update the rom again, but it says:
No files found.
it seems that the SD card is formatted or unreachable.
What can I do? Any ideas?
It's easy to send your favorite Rom to SD
go to CWM --->Advanced ---> mount USB when screen changed connect your device to PC and then your SD card will appear on monitor now you can put Rom on SD and after flashing the boot.img install rom using CWM.

I've tried that just now,
it says: "unable to open ums file"
when I click it.
Edit: ok I updated the recovery
and now the mounting works!
Downloading the new ROM now, wish me luck!
Hi all,
While in recovery mode, I accidentally formatted my SD card. I lost my backup and everything there.
I could not install from zip because there was no file. I tried moving a zip file into the phone, but my PC can not recognize my phone.
Any ideas on how to transfer a rom to the phone?
Any way of recovering data from the SD card?
Thanks for the help!

you need to adb to push the rom to the phone (assuming you have CWM or TWRP) installed. adb push locationofzip.zip /data/media/
you cannot recover your sd card.
Can you please explain the steps for "adb to push the rom to the phone"
I'm using CWM
Found the steps on XDA. Thanks!

Try the toolkit 9.1. I did the same thing and hook up with PC with toolkit 9.1 boot in recovery mode. then PC can recognize the phone, just flash the image in.
good luck!

Once you booted into recovery mode, were you able to access the Nexus and drag the rom into a folder?
You don't need to. You need copy the rom into the folder of toolkits then flash to the phone.

Yes you can recover your SDCard data

Hi all,
I've been trying to flash ROMs on my phone using my external SD card but it always fails with unable to open zip file. I can flash this properly in my internal SD card though.
Thanks!

Everything I flash is on my external. Sounds like what you use to copy the files isn't doing it properly. I use root explorer to move the files between internal and external before flashing. Double check the file sizes.
I used to use oi file manager. It copies and pastes the file fine but can't move them. You would always get "unable to move some files" but the file would be "moved"

it works fine for me, I always flash from my external...
I use rootexplorer to move or delete files,
Weird... I used another sdcard and now it works! Thanks for the suggestions!
