Call me a noob. I was on a CM10.1 ROM, and wanted to try out a new TW ROM. I installed TWRP 2.4.1.0 last week, where as before was running CWR recovery.
So this is my first time using TWRP. I rebooted from CM10.1 into recovery, was always told to wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe davlik. I always do those three things, but also read going from CM10 back to TW is good idea to wipe internal as well. I did that.
Now I go to flash my ROM, that I downloaded and put on sd/card earlier today at the office. I go to install, and there is nothing on the sd/card, it's empty ? WTF did I do ? :crying:

Thanks, I know about that file, put that on my sd/card too. My problem is, nothing seems to be left on my sd/card ? After I wiped everything in TWRP, there seems to be nothing left to install ? WTF ? :crying:
I am new to TWRP, I have always used CRW for recovery, even rooted my Note 2 with CRW recovery, an flashed all my ROM's lately with CRW recovery, just installed TWRP this week, first time trying it.

if you do a data wipe it only wipes internal sdcard not external. so if you have all your stuff on external it should be there. unless you wiped external by accident.
here is the link for sd card fix file is at bottom of first post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36873319&postcount=1
you wiped your internal sd card
so the only thing you can do now is using odin to flash a stock rom and start from stratch (root and flash new rom again)
or if you made a nandroid in your external sd, restore it in recovery.
What you did was format data with your sd card on the phone that will definitely will wipe everything. And I hqve the same experience that you had so next time I recommend you take out your sd card out

I have the ROM downloaded on my PC now. How do I transfer that onto my phone ? I plugged in phone USB to computer, but the computer doesn't see it now in recovery ?

Get your sd card out from your phone. I don't what kind of computer you have but if it doesnt suport your sd card because of the size you have tou used a card adaptor its like the ones the ise on camera's
I am screwed.
#1 I don't have an external sd/card, only what the phone came with. #2 If I go buy one, what type of adapter do they make, where an sd/card fits into a portable USB stick ?
My computer is my custom built gaming rig, no sd/card adapter on that beast, I don't think ? Unless on my motherboard ?
Best buy or any store can help you out. But you said you have only the one that came with the phone if you have a secon phone or any think that you can put it and just to open it and put the files inside that will help you or do the odin file
It appears that you are posting from a Galaxy Nexus. The major problem with an external SD is that the Galaxy Nexus does not have one.

I might have an old external card from my EVO 4G days, if I can find it. But what do i do with that little card ? I don't have any adapter for something that small, never even seen anything like that before.
Other option. Get a cheap mini SD. Flash cwm recovery. mount ext SD in cwm and transfer file from computer to ext SD through cwm. Wish twrp had that option.

Also you need to format the sd card before putting in to the galaxy note reason is that sd card was in another phone. Formate or delete which ever option you may have

Are you just trying to reflash a ROM onto your phone or are you wanting to recover everything that you deleted from your SD card?
If you are wanting to recover the data you deleted from your SD card I recommend mounting the card to your computer via your recovery and then running file scavenger (free to download) to recover the deleted files.
after you recover your files with filescav then you can reformat the SD card, replace the contents of the card, and continue on your merry way without having to start over from scratch.
I'm trying to dowload a ROM to the sd card,I extracted files to sd card via recovery and micro sd adapter,Then I try to choose zip,apply and always says no such files,always says E-can't open sd/card/update.zip,Installation aborted...I tried 3 diff sd cards,even bought a brand new one with nothing on it,the files are there on the card but...Am I missing something here???

Thank you,Concordium,I'm going to try this before drasitic measures has to be taken,but I did get everything back,to my suprize...This may work for me,!!! Naaa,Didn't do anything,It's telling me,"No sd-ext found...etc..Generating md5 sum....I will go on with your info,press on..I'm detirmined to fix this..Thank you for the help...
Ok,I backed up to the new cm7 rc1,got the phone going again,but what's with the sd-ext not found???
Nothing important from what I know its just if you were to partition ur sd card.. Also I can upload mikg amon_ra that u can flash via bootloader if you need it. I was getting amazing sd speeds with that recovery...
Really?I will try this,but I have to delete the 2.3.5 google stuff first,It kept rebooting on me after dowloading a app from the market,I just wanted to try it,This rom is my brand new back-up,No more stock evo rom anymore,I just want to get the sd-ext working again,Any gapps files floating around for 2.3.7?? For some reason,any file installs from sd,but phone tells me ist's empty,I will try the partition,I just want the sd cards I have working 100% again,I have 2GB worth of Roms to use on my computer,I just like flashing,I guess...But yeah I will research mikeg Armon-ra,where Do I look??I was thinking about it when I was figiuring how to get the evo going again...
Ok I took the plunge and installed CWM and Ardatdat Kernel. Thank you to both Ardatdat and utkanos for your wonderful work. Now I made a Nandroid backup of my phone and I have lots installed so it is big. It comes to 1.897.535.488 ok close to 2GB. Now It of course places this in the SDcard as it does not see my 32GB MicroSD card. Everything great so far.
Here is the question....
If I transfer this to my MicroSD to save room on the SDcard internal. If something goes wrong and I screw up on installing another rom and the phone does not boot, how do I get it from the MicroSD Card to the internal SDcard???
I am kinda stumped on that one. Only thing I can think of is before trying any new Rom make sure I transfer back those 2GB of Backup files to the SDcard.
Please any help on this would be appreciated.
Hey mate,
I've done the similar thing. It's a but weird having the mount point for the external sd card /within/ the mount point for the internal storage...
I thought that I had read that the mount points used in the CWM were configurable... But I'm not certain. I will have a read over some of their docos and see what I find..

I kept mine on the computer, so whenever I need to restore, it's right there.
How? Is it not only a CWM file? Can you use the nandroid backup files via ODIN? Because as I am saying, say your phone no longer boots and you need to replace the ROM and your nandroid backup is on your computer how do you place it on your phone's SD card to flash with CWM. (Assuming Odin does not work) If Odin Works then you just flash via ODIN and on the computer is fine.
Can you map to your External card via CWM?
See, I also have an HTC Desire HD for other purposes, and when I tried to put a new rom, it would be stuck at bootloop. There is this option in CMW Recovery that lets you still view the files on the computer (Mount), and exchange files. Then from there you navigate to where you put the backup via backup and restore, and boot it.
CWM should always be there with the Vol down + Power buttons, and you should be able to recover it.
It's my first time experiencing with Odin since I got this device, so I really don't know much about it.

Look in the CWM thread. Pretty sure it's possible, but it takes an editing/adding of code
Heyy everyone! i have a samsung sgh t989D (telus edition) and i tried to root it. I put CWM and Cyanogen on it via Rom Manager and when i started my phone up it wouldnt get past the boot screen so im stuck in a bootloop. I can get to the CWM recovery page but i dont know what i should and can do to get out of this boot loop. I backed up i phone when i was trying to use the samsung toolkit a while ago but i still dont want to lose my data. I also dont care for the rom or root anymore. So i guess im asking what the best way to unroot my phone would be. Also my phone disconnects itself from my computer at times (my laptop makes the noise that a usb has been unplugged) and im using the stock wire with a usb 2.0 port.
Can you get into download mode or CWM without it rebooting? If not, does it get partially through the boot process before going into an infinite bootloop and vibrating every few seconds? If so, you could be another victim of power button hardware failure.

Your not suppose mount the system, just storage. In TWRP you can mount internal or external storage. Also, I'm not quite getting what you're saying. You have tried taking out the SD card and mounting it directly on your PC and it didn't work?
Sent from JMT Goodness
In the CM9 thread it says to ensure you download/install a CWM Touch recovery - if you don't you're guaranteed to get a boot loop. Their "fix" was to download and flash darkside-wipe-cache-only.zip via recovery and that will fix the problem.
I ended up having the same issue and that's how I fixed it.

I also wana just go back to stock ICS but if i can fix cyanogen without wiping my phone that would be great! i tried to plug in my phone and get my computer to read it so i can browse my phone's internal memory and get the pictures off of the internal storage but it wont recognize my phone. I tried checking all of the things in CWM but none of them worked.
i_is_surf said:
In the CM9 thread it says to ensure you download/install a CWM Touch recovery - if you don't you're guaranteed to get a boot loop. Their "fix" was to download and flash darkside-wipe-cache-only.zip via recovery and that will fix the problem.
I ended up having the same issue and that's how I fixed it.

so your saying that i didnt download/install a CWM Touch Recovery so thats why im in the boot loop and that to fix it i can download and flash a darkside Wipe Cache Only and the phone will get out of the bootloop and Cyanogen will work?
so i am running Galaxy Mod rom on my phone, and loved since the day i flashed it. but since i flashed it ive noticed certain things that turn me off to it. (SORRY to the maker). so im looking to put another rom on my phone, BUT!, no matter what computer i connect to cannot get another rom onto my phone, it says it can be put on there, that the device is malfunctioning. i tried a different data cable, a different computer, and putting it on my sc card, it wont reconize or even see the sd. i downloaded straight from the site, cannot find the rom in recovery. i looked in every file and fold on my phone, im thinking the rom is locking me out, it is having its issues as well, the time dissaprears, the status bar force closes, freezes, contacts freeze up and force close, phone calls are dropped.
i feel like my phone is falling apart. i cannot get a rom on there, i cant get it to reconize the external sd card, ive redownloed and installed the driver for my phone. nothing is working, and the problems its having are happening more frequent. never had this problem with any other flash
any recommendations?

Sounds like you got a really bad flash. You are in luck that it at least boots because you can at least
If all else fails I suggest you try ODIN flash stock rooted. Have you tried to get into download mode ? can you get into recovery ? I didn't see if you mentioned that.
Look for the stock rooted ROM in the root with out tripping the flash counter thread

did you try reinstalling the samsung drivers onto your pc? is your sd card readable in other devices or your pc? and i'm assuming you've tried mounting the sd card in settings/storage?
If you have a bad flash maybe you can go into goomanager or the xda app and download a new rom directly to your phone and flash it. Maybe that will help.

I don't see where he "explicitly" states internal SD card he just said SD card or external SD card.
I know you said you searched through every folder but I know when I flash tw based ROMs all the contents of my internal SD card get moved to storage/emulated/ legacy or storage/emulated/0 maybe check there.

is galaxy mod rom a TW based or AOSP based?
and are you talking about internal SD or external SD not being recognized? and on your computer or your phone or both?
Its a pretty modified two ROM

it's also depend on whether it's modified from TW and AOSP features or AOSP and add TW features
depend on one another, the rom might or might not support the format of the external sd

Well. I thought I was in luck, my wife has a s3 with kailisjr's wicked sensations rom. I grabbed her version, being the same phone, moved it to her ext sd, pit the sd into my phone, went to my file browser, moved it to my internal, went into recovery which is the latest team win. It saw it. I was soo happy. I wiped all neccessary things, went to flash wicked rom, failed to load, that's the only error. My wife's phone is the same as mine but blue. Now, stuck on samsung screen. In the midst of excitement that recovery saw the rom, I didn't make a back up
To answer the other post. I only used Odin a few times, and not really familiar with where and what to download. I am pretty good about flashing just with recovery. I can get into both down load and recovery. Just won't boot up now because of well...no rom. I did not try and mount the ext sd I thought that it would auto sense it. Will try that now.

it sounds like you didn't wipe cache, dalvik. go back in recovery and wipe them
and also flashing new rom might take some time for it to load, so be patient

Ok so I went into recovery, it won't see the ext sd, I go to just try and factory wipe, cache and dalvik, it hangs in the cache wipe saying the path to the partition cannot be found.
And now the same for dalvik
Time for Odin it seems. Go to the "root with out triping flash counter" thread. Download odin 3.07 and the at&t stock 4.1.1 with root injected. Place in download mode. Makes sure its detected and flash it in the pda spot.
You could do a full wipe and erase data as well and see if it lets you flash a ROM then. Another possibility

so let me get this straight
you flashed galaxy mod,
it wouldn't let you read ext sd card correct? (if so you needed to format it, it seems like it is running off AOSP and aosp doesn't support exfat on ext sd)
and now you're trying to flash wicked rom, but it wouldn't let you install?
if so it is either bad file or outdated recovery.
and if you're stuck on samsung screen, if wipe dalvik and cache partition + factory reset don't work
Odin back to Stock Rom
and start root, flash rom again

IF CWM recovery doesn't work, try TWRP recovery.
and hit thanks if you you think we helped you =)
ok so my sprint s3 was recently rooted, i got the twrp on to it, i then flashed a nightly of CM, i didn't like it so i decided to go to try something else, so i went into recovery, wiped the system, then shortly realized that i don't have a usable SD card to keep the .zip file to flash from. i was like oh no problem ill just transfer them over to my hard disk with my computer, when i plugged my sprint gs3 in it was recognized as a cd-rom drive and it would say that there was no driver installed for my phone model, so i went and re-downloaded the drivers thinking that they uninstalled or something, don't get me wrong i had them working before. now i am scared that ill have to wait to get a SD card from someone, and i need to use my phone i am a very busy person. so if you have a VALID solution please do answer, but if your gonna be stupid and say get a iPhone, or get a sd card, or something etc DONT SAY ANYTHING at all.
Thanks

Easy there hoss . You can try SD Formatter to see if you can save the SD Card. Copy everything from the SD Card onto your PC / Laptop. Then format the SD Card. Put your information back on the Card. Place it back in the device, and see if it works for you.
that wont work
i would do that exept like a said i dont have a SD card to use like i did, and besides the s3 does not have a removable sd card that comes with it, u would have to buy that second hand like i did but ended up letting my freind have it, (long story) as my s3 has 16 gb internal non removable storage your option will not work
no rom i wiped the internal storage

atm there is no rom as i just wiped the storage as i was ready to remove the buggy nightly. i would have kept the other rom on my SD card to flash from there hence what u were saying changing the storage option. i would use android sdk to try to add the rom.zip on to my phone but like i said i was having a weird driver problem ever since i installed the custom recovery
It's been a while since I used TWRP. But I remember an option to mount Storage in Recovery. Have you tried that ?

i think if i remember correctly i still does
but i am curious if i would have to go back to stock?
i really don't wanna do that
Mount internal storage in TWRP and copy a rom to it and flash. If unable to do that then Odin back to stock until you can get a card. At least you'll have a working phone.
If you have latest TWRP, go to Mount and select "Mount as OTG"(or something like that...i dont remember well all the options) or in Advance Menu. Then plug it to your computer. I think that's the option you need.
