im trying to install android revolution, i did superwipe but forgot to put the zip file for the rom on the phone. i cant access the sd card from recovery anymore so how do i put it on there to flash it?
You'll have to push the file using adb
adb push /path/to/file /data/media
That will put it on the root of your SD partition
I'm special.

This but make sure to mount /data in recovery

Have ADB installed, in recovery mode type this to copy file to the internal storage:
adb push locationoffile.zip /data/media
Type this to copy everything from your internal storage to a backup folder located in your ADB directory:
adb pull /data/media ./backup

The Nexus do not even have that option available since it does not use UMS mode.

I did the same with my htc incredible but still had cwm's recovery installed. To put a install file on my zip card:
1. Start phone - and enter the boot screen (for me, my phone automatically went to the boot screen since I didn't have any system installed). If recovery is not a scrollable option, then select and run bootloader and the recovery option will become available.
2. Select and press 'recovery' to go into recovery
3. Select and press 'mounts and storage'
4. At the bottom of the mounts and storage screen, select and press 'mount usb storage'
5. Plug you phone into your computer and a new removeable disk (your sd card) should be available on your computer.
6. Copy install files from computer to phone sd card.
Hope that helps.

As stated that doesn't work with GNexus. ADB is the only option

While in recovery plug your device into your computer with the usb and then just go into the partitions manager and then select mount usb mass storage and that will mount your sdcard to your computer.

As already stated above, GNex doesn't support Mass Storage mode at all.
And hey, what's the point of bumping a thread as old as this?

How can I partition my SD using Windows xp. I have revoked recovery installed and it doesn't have the option to partition and I can't install Rom manager because when I try my market installs are unsuccessful because I need to partition my SD.
Thanks for help.
Any 1?
Sorry to bump but I'm getting tired and would like to fix this before I drift off.
Thanks
Dion.
Ensure that you have HTC Sync installed.
1. Turn on your phone while holding the volume down button.
2. You will see HBOOT on the screen.
3. Use the volume buttons to move up and down and power button to select the RECOVERY option.
4. You will now see a red triangle on the screen, at this point plug your phone into your PC via your microUSB cable.
5. Double click on recovery-windows.bat inside this pushfiles_windows.zip folder (unzip to Desktop).
6. Using the optical trackpad select Partition sdcard > Partition SD
7. Select SWAP=0, EXT2=512 and allow the rest to be FAT32.
8. Select the SD:ext2 to ext3 option in this menu.
9. Go back to the Recovery Console main menu and select Reboot system now. While rebooting, unplug the Desire from the USB port.
You could just use Rom Manager to do it

This doesn't work because i used the new one click unrevoked root guide. So when i put my phone into recovery it doesn't show the red triangle now it goes to the clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.1 screen. In here it has a partition menu but when i enter it it doesnt have any options to partition the sd for a2sd.
So is there anyway to remove the clockworkmod recovery?

I cant use Rom Manager becuase the rom I flashed has a2sd+ built in but my memory card is not formatted for this so when i download apps from the market they can't install.
Ok I think I have a plan.
I've downloaded the rom manager.apk but i need to know how to change this to a flashable zip so it installs on internal memory as a system file sort of thing.
How do I do that?
Is any1 actually alive on this forum??????
Mod. can you move this to the Desire Android development thread. I think I'll get more help in there.
Thanks

Afaik, you have to boot into recovery, go under mount options, select mount sd card and then connect it to your PC. Usually it should detect your device.
I've always done the same.
And if you don't have a card reader, I don't think it's too expensive to buy one.
Thank you guys, ive solved the problem.
Now i have FXP Ice Cream Sandwich on my Arc! really great rom.
Thanks!
So I flashed the firmware.zip of the jelly bean ruu on my phone successfully.
I've also re-unlocked the bootloader and flashed clockwork mod.
Now I can't boot into my phone, and my phone technically doesn't have any files in it.
How can I flash a custom rom now, I can't copy the rom to my phone.. please help asap.
boot into recovery and mount usb storage? wow so hard man...
if you don't know how to do that...
hold power +volm down for about 10-15 seconds, select recovery from menu, select mounts and storage, select mount usb storage and then copy ROM to your sd card and flash.
Don't forget to flash boot.img!

Oh snap! I didn't know that CWM had a mount usb feature.. copying now! Thank you very much!
I can't seem to find/access my external sd card in adb shell when my phone is in recovery mode. Going to /sdcard gives me the internal location where CWM backups are kept. Nothing is listed in /external_sd and when I choose 'mount external sd' from the menu in clockworkmod I get an error in CWM. I need to access it because that's where I keep backups of files I'm messing with.

What format is the SD Card in? If its exFAT then CWM wont be able to recognize it. If its FAT or FAT32 then try this in adb shell
su
mount /external_sd
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
su shows up as an unrecognized command, oddly enough (even though it works when I'm not in recovery.) I've found another way to move the files around so I'm not going to worry about it.
My problem now is the framework-res.apk that I replaced some sounds in causes boot to get stuck on the end of the t-mobile animation. I'm finding threads all over the place about how to replace it, but if anyone has a guaranteed method for this device now I'd appreciate it.
I used the Marshmallow feature to merge the external SD card with the internal memory.
I decided to flash SuperSU but when I rebooted into TWRP I could only see the root directory and I'm not sure how to get to the internal storage. Looking at it in Solid Explorer it appears that the internal storage should be at:
/storage/emulated/0
but the storage folder doesn't seem to be in the root directory when I look at it in TWRP.
Any ideas?
Internal storage is mounted under /DATA and /SDCARD in TWRP.

Tested this on Marshmallow with the external sdcard mounted as internal storage, but it isn't mounted there.
Same here.
How to mount Internal storage or SDCard formatted as Internal storage in TWRP ?
it may have something to do with the new way of handling sd cards in marshmallow
(I know this thread is old but have seen the question asked many times but not solved).
Have been using sideload for the last month - thought there must be an easier way. There is!!
Access /data via a file manager (as root) and copy the zip to /data . You can then access it via recovery.

Don't mean to be a jackass... But, what zip file should I move to /data?
---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------
Wait, you mean whatever I wanna flash?
Yes, the CM rom zip, supersu zip or whatever it is you want to flash. Just remember to delete it after you've flashed it (or before you copy the next update there) so you don't fill up that partition.
Hey. If there is someone who can reply to this thread?
It seems there isn't any workaround yet to solve this problem
moving to /data works! thanks!
Wondering if TWRP will solve this file reading problem in the future. Also are there other folders that can be read in TWRP besides /data? Just wondering. Thanks.
hi guys,
i figured out this problem
1. reboot to your recovery (twrp)
2. click mount
3. enable mtp and click on usb (which is at the down left corner)
4. connect your device to your pc with a usb cable and load the files which you wanna flash .

that worked! thanks! after mounting the system and enabling MTP my computer could see both the internal storage and Micro SD as separate entities. I just put the zip file in the TWRP folder on my computer and I navigated into external_sd in TWRP on my phone to see the zip.

None of these solutions worked for me, I formatted sd as internal and cannot access it in recovery, and get error message using computer that file could not be copied.

Turns out in recovery my phone was ONLY able to access internal storage and not the sd card which was formatted as internal storage.
To fix this I simply re formatted the sd card as external, unfortunately losing the data on the sd card.

What you described is normal.
When you activate adoptable storage the internal and external storage become combined. There is no separate external sd card as it's all treated as internal.
In recovery internal would have also been external storage.

Ummm, if I had root there would be no need to flash supersu. And without root, I can't flash SuperSU. Wonderful.
@ahmed rashid, thanks for pointing out that the device can be mounted via MTP when in recovery! That saved the day.
If u have rooted device & Su then the path of internal storage in recovery must have, Select data/media/get into internal storage files & folder
I'm using OS 5.0.2 with twrp 3.0.2, this method working fine for me check it & thanks me later
