I tried to root my Galaxy W but failed using the Rooting via Recovery mode(SD card) method described here
I put the update.zip file on the SDCard by mounting the SDCard on my laptop, running XP, and copying update.zip onto the SDcard.
But, when I reinserted the SDcard and followed the procedure described, the apply sdcard:update.zip in Recovery Menu does not appear.
My phone is
GTI8150
Android 2.3.6
Baseband version I8150XXXKL3
Build no GINGERBREADXXLA2
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
You have to move the zip into the internal memory of the phone, the one of 1,7GB (in our phone is called /sdcard), not in ur personal sdcard that is called external_sd...then u'll be able to find the zip in recovery
Thank you for the good advice.
I downloaded SwiFTP to the Android and then used FileZilla to FTP the zip file to the /sdcard folder.
Then the process seemed to work OK
Can I root my device:
2.3.6
baseband DXLM2
kernel DXLM3
build number DXLM3
Via stock recovery?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
Please help me.
I followed the steps in this site to install cyanogenmod 7.
(Xda won't let me post the site)
However, I am stuck in the last part. I did the back up and etc.
I am now in the reboot stage of Clockwork recovery.
However, when i selected install zip from sdcard ---> choose zip from sd card
the file cannot be found..
It says no files found.
Plz Help Thank you
Mike
Did you place the zip file on the root of your sd card & not inside a folder?

It don't matter if its in a folder it not.. I always download straight from my phone and leave it in downloads folder.. also can be renamed after the date of a nandroid but make sure to add .stock or .rc4 or whatever.. no spaces and keep the dates, don't know about renaming the whole thing yet.. anyways, your problem seems odd

Put it in the root of your sd card make sure its a .zip and a problem I had waz there was a space at the end of .zip.but make sure that u have downloaded the whole rom I downloaded cm7 for the first time and almost bricked my phone cause I kept trying to flash part of a rom...tip: download file then download through a mirror (if provided) and check size of file.

extract the 2 zip files into 1 folder, folder name should be clockworkmod , copy the clockworkmod file into your external sd, boot into CWM and select backup & restore >>> restore from external sd and you should see a file >> 20120422... something like that... select it >>> restore and wait until it done and reboot. Dont forget to wipe wipe wipe before restore..
It worked! Thanks!

Enter the recovery (mount the sdcrad as a mass storage device) and move all data from that 0 folder to the root. Delete the 0 folder. Put the rom on the sdcard too. Flash the boot.img , make a full wipe and install the rom

Please explain in deatil mate, i am a noob at such things..... :silly:
Copy the rom to the sdcard, open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img from it to the fastboot folder.
Put the phone in the bootloader and flash the boot.img. unhook the cable and go into the recovery. Make a full wipe and install the rom

What about the data in the SD card??
When mounted on the computer there is no '0' folder. But on the phone I see sdcard0. The method in the CM10.1 thread also doesn't work.
It says " can't cd to /sdcard/0/"

Its a mirror of the system of some kind. Dont worry to much about it, just mount the sdcard in the recovery and copy the rom.zip to the root of the sdcard.

Well, I have have the zip file for CM10 on phone (download folder) and pc and explored it to find the boot.img file to extract to find out it is not there, not only that but I cannot seem to find a way via either my pc or file mgr apps (i.e. root file manager) to move both the cm10 zipfile and gapps zipfile to the root folder on my phone, so I am at my wits end and guess I am stuck with ICS which I really am not at all impressed with.
So basically I am beginning to believe that it is not really possible to do this

There are some stock kernels with recovery in the development section. Find them and read the OP. Flash them and then flash the zip via recovery. The zip can be anywhere, doesnt have to be the root folder.

Thanks so much for a little direction, found the recovery file that I need so that I can actually get into recovery mode. But, the one step I didn't see posted was do I unzip it on PC or phone before executing install.bat?
