Hi,
i tried to flash a custom ROM and i found a tutorial which said to use "super wipe android revolution" so i put it in the sdcard like the .zip from the custom ROM.
I launched "choose zip from sdcard" and selected super wipe.zip, but after rebooting on recovery when i tried to apply the next file with "choose .zip from sdcard" it said to me that "no files found"!
When i reboot normally, there is the samsung LOGO but nothing else after 5-10 minutes....
Omg that script is erase all the data so why should i do this before flashing a new rom i can't understand why i can't do anything know execpt going on recovyer/ DL mode.
Can you please help me to find a solution like putting maybe the custom ROM on external SD card ?? is it possible or ?
Thanks a lot i'm very afraid of being in this situation...
No need to panic, you can either flash a stock rom from odin in download mode, or put a custom rom on your ext sd card. You will need to flash a decent recovery though for ext sd something like twrp, you can use odin to flash it.

Thanks bro !
I have a 6.xxx CWM so i can put my rom .zip on the external SD and select "choose zip from external sdcard" on the recovery to install on my internal sdcard right?
Yep, that should do it.

[Q] Trying to install StarBurst ROM from CWM, external_sd says "no files found"
I have Zedomax 4.1beta installed, and would like to install StarBurst ROM. I did a backup, formated, wipes cache, and dalvcache and then i select "install zip from SDcard" and select external_sd and it kicks me back to the main menu and says "no files found". I have formated the sd card multiple times (using computer, phone, and sd formater from sd association). The sd has the rom's zipped files.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Can i use the internal storage to install rom?
I dont know why it is not recognizing your sd card.
But yes, you can use the internal storage. Somewhere in CMW, there is an option to mount the sdcard, so you can connect ur phone to the computer, and put tbe ROM in the internal memory. Then, under "install zip from sdcard", there is an option to "install from internal memory". You tbst option to install the ROM from the phones internal.memory. if you cannot see that option, you need to use the latest version of CMW, its somewhere in the development section.

I second the CWR suggestion. One of the ROM or Kernel packages has a bad or old CWR in it, because I have seen your issue too. Using various Roms/kernel packages changed the color to CWR to orange and Blue. One of them didn't even have an option for the the internal SD card. Don't know which one because I tried all them.
I for one will be glade when all the developers get on the same page. Things will get better, it's just a new phone and the community is still forming.
I am trying to flash cm9. I just updated CWM to version 5.8.4.7. When i go into install zip from sdcard, there is no option to install zip from internal sdcard. When i go into choose zip from sdcard, it shows my internal sdcard (the rom is on my external). I tried to mount /external_sd and nothing changes. When i try to mount /sdcard, it wont mount.
Should i just try to install the rom from my internal sdcard? I heard that it was dangerous and it has to be the external sdcard. Is there something wrong with my cwm? I installed it by downloading the recovery.img to my internal sdcard and running dd if=... of=...
Sorry if i explained it poorly, again i cannot choose the zip from my external sdcard in cwm.

5.8.4.7 doesn't support the sdcard. I cant speak for who ever said its dangerous to flash from the internal...but I've been doing that and I haven't had a single problem.

Why doesn't the latest version of cwm allow flashing from external sdcard? Is it the best version to use?
Why? Idk.
Best one to use? Depends on you...some will like the touchscreen one others will like this one....I've never had a problem with it.

Flashed successfully from internal sd card, thanks for the help
Hey guys,
I just flashed the boot.img via the boot.img in the Custom Rom (CM10) (./fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img) and then I found out I didnt put a rom.zip but a rom folder on my phone.. So I wanted to reboot but it doesn't really reboots.
When you hear that chime, it plays that 3/4th and then goes to 'HTC One tm' screen and stucks.
How.. do I fix it?
I flashed it with latest recovery thingy, 5-1.8 as I can see in my download folder.
Thanks so much in advance!
Go in to Recovery(like TWRP), mount USB, put the ROM on your SD-Card and flash it.

I can get into my SD, but I cannot move/paste anything onto the drive. Both SD as Internal folders.
edit:Ok, I got the CM10 rom.zip pasted on the SD-card, but when trying to install: It says 'installation aborted'
2) What you mean with flash it? Just 'install rom from sd card .. .. and select the rom.zip?

Then the zip is probably corrupt, download it again. Yes, flashing a Rom means installing from sdcard.

Probably you have to disable the signature check in your recovery. After that, it will succesfully install.

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

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

Hey guys , seeking help from the pros here.
I tried to install a new rom yesterday and mistakenly hit the format SD option instead of format System to clean phone before installing a new Rom. Now my problem is my internal memory has no files now, when going in cwm and trying to install rom from internal memory it says there are no files.
So i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can flash files back into the phone, i tried Odin and some of the flash stock rom guides here but i boot loop and it removed my cwm, so when i go into recovery i actually go into androids stock recovery mode. I have tried to flash cwm again and that seems to work but still no files in the phone. Help.

You should be able to mount sd card from recovery. Choose that option in advanced. I use twrp now and it's a bit easier to use than com. Once you mount the sd card find it on your computer move the rom zip there. Now unmount the sd and flash away.

Twrp seems easier to use and it has big buttons with the touch screen.
If you have an external sd put the rom on it from your pc. Then select external sd from twrp by touching it where it says internal and select external. Now flash a custom rom.
