Coming from a phone that has an SD card, I knew to place the ROM file at the root of phone
But now, with the LGOG on Sprint, I'm a bit confused as to where I should place the file since there isn't a physical sd card.
Does it matter where I place file? It's sitting in my Downloads folder ( /mnt/sdcard) awaiting further instructions
/mnt/sdcard there done lol

i keep all mine in downloads but as long as its under /sdcard you should be fine
Easier to just make a new folder and label it Roms. That way it doesn't mix up with ur downloaded stuff.

Hey All,
I have literally spent the past 6+ hours trying to update my radio to version 2.x on my Droid Incredible, and it isn't working. No matter what method I try, which image, or which ROM, nothing works.
What I am Currently Running:
Sky Raider 2.5.2 Vanilla
I am s-off
I ran the latest unrEVOked3 to gain root access
I downloaded the latest usb drivers
What is happening:
When I download PB31IMG.zip, I place it into my newly re-formatted FAT32 sdcard in the root directory. After that, I launch it into hboot, and try to have it run the update. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, it cannot find the image.
I have also tried the normal version of de-upgrading, but I get stuck on this step and cannot proceed any further.
Any help would be appreciated!
Zack
This should be in General.
There is no directory called root on the sdcard. What it means is to just put it on ur sdcard, do not put it in any folders. Just /sdcard/

Try making sure radio is named radio.img make sure amdroid-info.txt is ok, and make sure it is named PB31IMG.zip not pb31img.zip or .zip.zip
Or tcberg could be right, and you may be putting the file in a non-existing directory.

How will I know if amdroid-info.txt is "ok"?
I made sure it's named properly - my bad on that, and the directory. Saying root just meant the main directory on the sdcard, not in any folders.
I would either: download the file again, or take an android-info.txt from a splash screen zip

Do you know where I could find the latter of those two options?
The android info txt???? Its in all the solash screens..just go into tje themes subforum and there are like 5 threads on them....all you have to do is just rip the txt file out of there and place it in the radio zip

I apologize for my ignorance, this is the first android root I've done. But how would I go about doing that?
1. Download a splash screen zip from the themes forum
2. Find the android-info.txt
3. Copy it to your desktop and paste it into the PB31IMG.zip file

you have to press power volume down and the dedicated camera button at once to gain access to the root of your sdcard
I would be willing to bet that PB31IMG.zip is actually PB31IMG.zip.zip on your sd. The file in windows should just read PB31IMG and nothing more.

There is a known issue of the pmg file getting corrupted when downloading to your computer and transferring to your phone.trying downloading the file directly to your phone.
The problem is most likely that your sd card isn't formatted to fat 32. Backup the radio image format your card to fat 32 instead of fat put the image on the root of your sd and try again.
Make sure that the file isn't corrupted and that you are in fact s off. Download it again to be sure and re format as well. Either your card is formatted wrong or your image is corrupted.

You can also try messing with the format cluster size. Try default allocation size first, if that doesn't work tinker with the sizes.
Make sure you have the correct radio update file and do not change the file name at all. Here is a link to the correct one, download it and try again.

The zip that you download IS NOT flashable, so you would have to use a zip eztracting program to unzip it. When you unzip it, it has three folders in it (ringers, notifications, and alarms). Then move the files (all, or just the ones you want) in each of those folders into the folders with the same name your have listed on you sd card.
There are a few good free Zip programs on the net if you don't already have/use one. Most are free "trials", but you can still use them to do this!!

i knew its not flashable but wasnt able to see the files after i moved them (ie audio folder as it is) to sd card.. i had to disconnect the cable to make it work tho...ie see in the sound setting.
Thanks!
I'm wondering if I'm doing this the best way. To download themes and roms, I have been using my home computer to download the files to the desktop. Then connecting my phone to the computer as a storage device and copying the files to the root directory of the sd card. Then I disconnect the phone and power it off. 3 finger into cwm and apply zip from sd card.
Can I download the zips straight to my phone from the xda site? I have started to try that and the only thing I see so far is that the files end up in the "download" folder on the sd card. That shouldn't be a problem should it? I just have to navigate there when choosing the zip to apply, correct?
Thanks.

Wrong section, but yes you can dl on your phone, that's how I've been doing it for a while now. I use es file explorer to cut the zips and put them on the sdcard, by themselves. You can also just go to the dl folder in cwm if you like.......I don't, but it's up to you.

Sorry, I was thinking the question applied to themes but I guess your right, I should have probably put it in the Q&A section, obviously!
(I'm still a newbie)
Thanks. I'm downloading a couple files now and I'll try it.
Np, dl'ing files from the phone is really nice, especially with 4G and a fast host. I also enjoy the standalone aspect of mobile hacking. Not tied to pc to do pretty much anything you want is awesome......epic freedom!!!
I download right from my phone too. Usually, I'll throw on 4G or wifi to download. Then cut/paste the file to the root on my sdcard. It's a lil more convenient; espcially when I'm away from my computer and I want to flash something.
Moved to Q&A
I like using the computer, just because I keep all the files as backup, including the stock stuff to get back to if needed.
well, I downloaded the latest Sydicate Frozen Rom standard version and Bionix Blackout straight to the phone and flashed them from the download folder. Fantastic!
I also download every rom and theme straight to my phone. I have a Mac so when I download on my Mac it always unzips the file so my phone is the best for also.

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?
Sent from my Liquid Metal using XDA Premium App
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.

Follow these steps for a secure transfer. Phone must be rooted and have some sort of recovery.
1. download an APP from the market called app2zip
2. Open it, its pretty self explanatory, you can choose which apps you want to save into a flashable.zip
3. zip them they will save on ur SD card you can move it around via root browser or any browser
4. when you get your GS3, and if you do root it with a recovery, you can just open recovery and flash the .zip file, bam its back on your phone.
Yes i know this only works with rooted/recovery phone.
Goodluck
hit thanks if this helped!
If i have apps on SD card by apps2SD on the SGS4, can I switch to a new SD by just copying and pasting them over, or do I have to move it all back to the "device storage"?
Thanks
