No! If you format your sdcard before flashing a ROM there will be no ROM to flash after the format.

except you can't mount storage on the nexus in recovery
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
Alternatively you could clean flash first and then format the sdcard after.

try this update.zip
View attachment update.zip
place it to the root of SD card, not in a folder
and flash it via stock recovery(Hold home+vol up+power)
update from zip
and select update.zip
same thing is happening to me. There is no folder in sdcard named root.

root of sd card doesnt mean to make a folder named root then put file in it. It means dont put the file in any folder just paste it on sd card.

dear first of all format ur sdcard with fat32 file system or use another sdcard which is formatted on fat 32 not only fat. copy update.zip file to that sdcard then u will able to root ur phone. 100% guaranteed answer okay
Even i had same problem with my galaxy y - unlockroot worked for
hope it works for you.

Hi after upgrading to JB i am getting some issue with my phone. If i format my htc one x with gparted and then re-install the rom . Will it be ok to do that ?
I would be cautious doing that...
Better to factory reset and erase the sdcard from within your recovery (TWRP or CWM).

OK Thanks. But when erasing the sdcard (That is the built in sdcard) it will erase everything so will i still be able to connect as a drive so that i can copy the rom into it.

As long as the recovery is either the latest CWM or TWRP, you can mount the USB Storage and put ROM.zip on it. Not with a stock recovery.
And be sure to have CWM 5.8.4.0. The usb mounting doesn't work with earlier versions.
Sent from my HTC One X
Yep. It's fine to erase everything, as long as you have latest CWM or TWRP on there, you can still mount your phone and put a rom on there to flash
Good luck!

Hi, I'm using Paranoid Android 3.10 (4.2.2.). My 32gb storage is only showing up as 2gb internal and seems to be mounted as sdcard/0.
Searched but can't seem to find how to mount the remaining storage.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you mean the app storage... it's 2gb! You can't change that...
Yes, when you flash floatshow's PA, it creates a /0/ folder on the root of the sdcard... I would recommend flashing xxxyz's PA as floatshow doesn't have his HOX anymore so the development has stopped there!
After you flash any other 4.2.2 rom, copy all files and folder from /sdcard/0/ to /sdcard/ so that all the apps get their data!

sorry bro was not able to get you earlier
u mean you have a rom zip on your internal in that case just enter recovery and hope u have rooted and stuff
Switch of your device press Vol up+home+power all at the same time and leave the power button once you see the samsung logo
now in recovery wipe data factory/cache/dalvik cahe and you are good to proceed flashing if you have an external sd then keep your zip in ext sd and do full wipe which will wipe your internal sd as well but not the external so if u have an external sd you can do a full wipe else just do the steps mentioned it will be fine
and if you have stock rom it is flashable via mobile odin please read this thread to understand everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
what does your new rom state stock or custom

Really appriciate it. I am already runing on custom rom. I also have a new custom rom .zip file on internal sd (don't have ext. sd card) I change many roms, so I have a lot of unnecessary stuff in data. I would like to delete everything and then install new custom rom .zip file.
I am afraid of loosing new custom rom .zip file, twrp,... Is it possible to do it or I have to flash stock rom and then do the simple factory reset in settings?
Thanks

hi again. I guess I am not for this tech stuff
I have done this (or i think) I still have a lot of unnecessary folders. I installed new custom rom now. I am going to stick with it, but I still want to delete everything except rom that I am running on and other important stuff that makes this phone run.
Another help would be much apriciated. (step by step if possible)

It seems u want to get rid of all uneccesary junk so thats possible to be removed only if you do full wipe thats is u even have to wipe system that will delete everything of the last rom and even in internal but after that u need to mount ur storage from recovery and then transfer the zip of your rom and flash it .so u need to be sure that your recovery is able to mount internal sd , I blv I hv posted a super wipe link so u can even flash that that will erase evrything u wish to but mounting of card shd work to let u transfer the file of rom zip or the safest get a ext sd transfer the rom zip and after clean wipe install zip from external sd.
If your mount sd is working first try and check that connect ur phn to pc via usb and in recovery select mount sd if it shows then you are good to go and get what u need.
So the prob lies u want steps but I need surity if ur mount storage works if it does then just flash this file attached as I hope it has uploaded fine as I used my phn to do so .just flash the zip attached and it will wipe all on its own .mount sd transfer ur custom rom zip and selec t it to flash . U get what u want

I realy appriciate your work but still to fresh to understand. This mounting thing is driving me crazy. I will just go and buy the sd card, it's easy.
So what i could understand is that I put your posted zip file on my internal sd card and i put my custom rom zip file to external sd card. Is that 100% ok?
and when I do that, whats next? (sorry mate)

why are you so worried its a simple step
1. boot into recovery - u know how to do it
2. connect your phone to pc and now click mount and see if you find the option to mount sd as soon as u click it it will recognise the internal sd
3. thats said if it works you can move ahead - just select the flash zip u have kept in ur internal sd it will wipe everything and now u mount again and transfer the rom zip
4.you can proceed flashing the rom zip from internal sd. done!
5. if you have an ext sd card then place both wipe zip and rom zip in external and choose install zip from external sd and select wipe zip .it will run some codes on screen and everything is wiped out now the recovery will restart and now select the rom zip thats it.
note: its a simple stuff what i am trying to make u understand is that if u clean wipe then you loose all ,everything from internal storage so u need some rom zip to flash which u need in external or internal so u need to transfer that zip, if its in external it wont get wiped off so you dont need any mounting to be done.
before all do backup your efs for your safety . I hope you know that or must have gone through it.
or rather do some reading it will take an hour for you to go through everything in detail
