It seems I deleted the update.zip file. I cant mount external sd card via Clockwork. My phone just sits at the startup screen. I would flash a new rom but I cant get to the external storage. I can flash a stock kernel but then cant flash a rom.
Can someone PLEASE post the stock UPDATE.ZIP file found on the internal storage so I can update my phone? Thank you.

Why don't we just let these posts fall off of the front page instead of everyone trying to be vigilante moderators. Bumping these threads is almost as bad as starting them. (And yes I am aware that's what I'm doing right now, but it is all the way at the top.)
EDIT: Ok, I'll be helpful too. update.zip attached.
Was that the file? Didnt work and seems to be pretty small. If thats it thank you anyway.

Feeling a noob to ask, even after flashing almost daily a new rom.
I want to clean some files from my sdcard. I backed up some importand files like Nand backup files from the folder clockworkmod.
I would like to know if it's save to remove the file "update.zip" or should i leave it or put it back after a reformat of my sdcard?
(If it's important to know. . . I'm running clockworkmod recovery 3.1.0.1 with s-off.)

I would copy it to your PC for safe keeping just in case.
You shouldn't need it. Once you flash a zip, the contents are unzipped and written somewhere e.g. /system for a rom. The zip is just the storage method.
Also, you downloaded it from somewhere, right? Just download again!
Still you never know. Unless you have zero space in your hard drive it can't do any harm!
I didn't download it, I think it comes from using the app clockworkmod (does someone know this?).
But you're right, It's a small file and I can put it back on the sdcard after I reformatted it.

Is this the file?
/sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery-update.zip
I think that recovery would rebuild this folder, including the zip, after a complete reformat if your sd, same as the other folders would get rebuilt by the rom.
I'm not 100% on that though, hope someone will confirm!
No, it's /sdcard/update.zip (but it's the same size as recovery-update.zip)
Oh, something complete offtopic, I see a lot of abbreviations here on the forum but I don't know what FC means.
Can someone tell me what it means?
FC=Force Close. Good you don't know it, means you don't get them?
I think your update.zip is seperate from recovery then. First advice still stands, you shouldn't need it but no harm to keep the copy. I guess you could unzip on PC to see what's in there?!
hi,
i think you are using rom manager, it should comes from this app.
if right, you should have got a folder ingherited from RM (rom manager) with another update.zip (but to be confirmed since long time a don't use anymore RM)
atm (at the moment)
Thnx for your reply's. It was usefull for me.
Can I close this topic myself and mark it as solved?
yes you can marked as solved by edit the title but yiu can t close this post
hi,
i have just tried to install LeeDroid 3.0.8.2 and am panicked that i've bricked my phone.
I partitioned the sdcard using Rom Manager - also downloaded and flashed the rom via rom manager.
It seemed to do its thing fine and the leedroid screen loaded up, but now it just keeps looping back on itself showing me that its installing making this funny beeping sound and then goes back to the leedroid screen for maybe 15 seconds and repeats.
Anyone know ever have this experience? can any one help?
thanks
Please make a search...
The best way to avoid bootloop is first to partition the SDcard with Gparted...
Then you need to check a few things (your hboot version among others)
good reading !!!
If it's looping at that point it is almost certainly a problem with the SD-card ext3 partition. Rom Manager is not terribly reliable with making that.
The Gparted suggestion is by far the best solution (assuming you have a PC with a card reader, rather than trying to do it with card mounted in phone)
If you *do* have a reader then try LiveCD with gparted, burn to CD and boot from that.
Make your first partition FAT32, and your ext3 partition at the end of the card. (1GB recommended). Make sure both partition are marked as "primary".
Sorry for jumping in here, but I also need help with this rom (sorry uber noob and all). Figured since the thread was so fresh may as well ask here.
Basically trying to install leedroid v3.0.8.2 (data ++) for my original htc desire.
Cant download from either of the links, they both lead to url 404s.
And i also tried downloading from both rom manager and also the minisite, these downloaded but seem to be corrupt. I cant open the zip file and trying to flash it returns a cant flash (bad) message.
Anybody know where i can get a working zip of this version?

Look to see if you have a 0 folder. It may be in there if you have flashed 4.2 or higher. Other option is to use ext-sd. And probably should post in Q&A
i cant find a 0 folder in recovery. im having no luck
any help appreciated
Team,
I have been researching for hours and am quite confused on which avenue to take to recover my soft brick. Information overload:crying:
Here is what happened and I will provide as much info as I can so please bare with me. After OTA upgrading to 4.3 and rooting successfully using the CF Auto Root. I was attempting to get my wifi hotspot working again using the Wifi mod and mucked around and installed the wrong mod (Odexed MK4). This rendered me stuck at the glowing samsung screen and it goes no further. Ive tried to factory reset, wiped cache and rebooted several times. Boots fine into recovery and download mode.
So after hours of searching, reading (its 3:50am est) and testing solutions I am no closer to a fix than I was when I started. I am currently waiting on a stock rooted rom to download in an attempt to flash back to stock but its taking hours to download.
However I just noticed, as I am typing this thread, that I can no longer
1. Mount as an usb external drive in recovery (TWRP v 2.3.1.0) I have Samsung drivers installed (1.5.14.0) so I get the indicator sound from windows that I sees the phone.
2. If I attempt to manually browse through my files using the recovery there are no files inside my internal sdcard directories.
/sdcard There are three directories there
/0 /obb /TWRP and the only folder that has files inside is the TWRP folder.
Im floundering here. I cannot even mount and install files on the phone to even attempt to flash back to stock. Can I get some fresh angles ladies and gents? I am at a loss.

Good morning (not really, I assume, sorry). So where are you at? Not sure what you mean that you cannot install files on the phone... Can you get into download mode and your computer recognizes the phone? If yes, can you do what you started to say - odin stock rooted? Or... if you can get into a custom recovery but your internal sd card has been wiped, can you put a stock rooted ROM in zip format on an external sd card, put that sd card into your phone, and flash in custom recovery?

Here is the problem...the ROM I have is in zip format and based on what I have been reading I cannot install via Odin. Due to the fact that the phone refuses to mount as an external storage device I have no way of placing data on the the internal or external card. The only recourse I have now it to attempt to find an adapter to be able to mount this microsd card to my PC. I am out of town and have no idea where I could find one.....uggggh. Ill keep you posted.

You always have the Factory Reset/Wipe Data option inside your Recovery. But if that doesnt work use your downoad mode and Reset in KIES. but whatever you do, now that you have upgraded to 4.3 DO NOT try and dowgrade. it will cause a hard brick.
You did the ota update which put KNOX on your phone which is bad especially if you have a warranty. There is currently no way to get rid of it. I read a while ago the peoples phones has been getting bricked because they were trying stuff.
Anyway the only option I guess you have is to use your computer and reset your phone using kies. It will flash your phone back to stock in download mode.

Thank you all so much for you help!
Congratulations
I am glad you were able to get use of your phone back. I wish I had seen this thread sooner. I was in exactly the same boat a couple of weeks ago, only mine lasted 3 days. I even bought a new GS4 when I thought my phone was dead. Took it back when someone finally helped me do what you did. It's a helpless feeling when you have been rooting and Romming for years safely. Sure seems like a sticky thread is in order for this specific issue. As you can see, I haven't got enough history for credibility on this forum since I rarely post. Oh well.
My phone is the Virgin Mobile edition of the Epic 4G Touch, with the GB28 Jelly Bean stock rooted Rom.
I was in the process of installing Cyanogenmod 11 via the instructions listed at the bottom of this page. I've done hours and hours of research over several days to make sure of the process. However, I did the noobiest of noob things. I committed an error that even the dumbest of the dumb wouldn't have done.
I forgot to copy the files to the SD card before flashing the EL26 Kernel.
Mock me. I will understand. I've been circling my room cursing out loud at my amazing stupidity and oversight. Nonetheless, I need your help. My current situation has me at a mismatched Kernel and Rom which, of course, won't boot.
Solution 1 [Failed]:
Flash back to the stock GB28 Kernel. I tried the One-Click off of rwilco12's repository, but I get an md5 sum mismatch error. I've downloaded the file multiple times, but it appears to be corrupted.
Solution 2 [Failed]:
Boot into the EL26 CWM recovery (which is successful!), then try mounting /data or /sdcard. Neither works, and my laptop will not recognize that an SD Card is connected.
Solution 3 [Failed]:
Plug SD Card into the printer (with a mirco SD card adapter), then use the printer to transfer files. Problem is, my printer is out of black ink, and I can't do anything without that ink cartridge. That's right, I can't read the SD Card without replacing the ink cartridge. Go f*** yourself Kodak.
And so, with a phone that cannot boot properly I need to transfer files to my SD card. I've read something about ADB, but I don't quite understand how it works. Is there a specific version of ADB I need to download? If so, where could I find it? Is there any other way to get the files onto my SD card so I can complete the process of upgrading to CM11?

Try this if you can get into download mode. Install Odin on your laptop. Download the stock rooted restore for VMobile(GB28), tar version. Flash through pc Odin. Once you boot back up you should be able to copy the files you need top your sd card.
Since it appears all the download links for the VM recovery kernel are dead, you can use the GB27 kernel for the Sprint version. It won't cause any issues. To avoid the yellow triangle, flash the kernel through Mobile Odin. You can find Mobile Odin in the play store. Or, if you don't mind the yellow triangle warning on boot, you can flash the GB27 kernel with pc Odin. Once you have the recovery kernel flashed, you can reboot into recovery and continue your flashing.
By the way, you'll need to flash the Blasphemy kernel to get the proper recovery to flash any of the 4.4.2 roms. If you get the latest 4,.42 blasphemy kernel zip file, you can flash directly from the GB27 kernel recovery I linked. Then reboot into recovery, wipe and flash cm11 and gapps.

Success! Your instructions worked flawlessly, and I managed to get Cyanogenmod 11 working perfectly.
You're an amazing person, riggerman0421. Don't ever let them tell you anything different. :laugh:
Just glad I could help. I've been in those types of situations before. Most of what I've learned about android has come from trial and error. The rest of it has been from the helpful people here and other forums, usually after one of those errors. We all learn from each other, and try to give back when we can.
If you or anybody needs it, here is the GB28 kernel with CWM recovery. I hope nobody has any issues with my posting it as all the old download links are broken.

Thanks for the link! I've sent a message to rwilco12 to see if he'd like to add that to his repository. Whether or not he does, it's helpful to have that link for anyone searching the forums later. Thanks for taking the time to help and post.
