I installed ROM Manager from the marketplace. I downloaded the Avatar ROM and HONO Rom and put them on my SD Card. In ROM Manager it shows the ROMs on the SD Card, but when I boot to recovery and try to install them it says no ROMs found. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Ive looked everywhere that it lets me while in recovery mode, it just tells me that there are no files found
why would u look "everywhere" you don't know which folder you put the roms in? if u used rom manager it's probly in that folder.... this is basic stuff dude if ur sdcard isn't showing up in recovery that's a differant problem but that's not what your saying so i dunno what to tell you

Its not that I dont know where I put it, its that my phone doesnt recognize that I have it there, Ill record it and post the video so you understand what I mean...
Look at this youtube video

After a while searching the internet and messing around I figured it out, but I am unsure what exactly it was that I did.

If I remember correctly you simply put a folder called "SDCard" in your working folder. From there anything your put in that folder will be put on the SDCard when it's flashed.
Thanks figured it out...
you need that, but then you have to do some editing in the updater script to make it all work right...

delete the .nomedia file on the root of your SD card and update rom manager.

okay guys this is my first android phone,first time rooting, first time for all of it basically.
i have a galaxy s3 i747m that i managed to root already. now i downloaded a ROM that i want and using android file exchange( I AM ON A MAC MAYBE MY PROBLEM?)
so i found the file on my mac,opended file exchange,put the file on my SD card.
now when i go into ROM manager i go to "install ROM from SD card" but it shows me everything thats on my phone not my SD card....i looked everywhere but the file is not there and i cant figure out why its doing this.
so i thought maybe if i save it to my phone i can find it,so i did that and i found the ROM file, but now when i open the file it just shows me
META-INF/ and system/ but on my computer it shows me something called BOOT.IMG.
im guessing this is the part of the file i need since nothing else works?
let me know guys im stuck, and sorry for the long post.
thanks guys!

DON'T touch this boot.img you taklking about.
Can you cannect phone by USB to your mac? ( sorry i'm PC guy). If you do just go open your phone with explorer in you mac then create folder on SD card "ROMS" in example , copy downloaded rom from your mac to phone this way you will know where it is. Now if you did not install CWM (clockwork mod recovery) install one from Rom Manager and reboot in it. Choose install from card and find roms folder you created and rom you copied in to folder choose this rom. Now follow instruction.
BTW. Before you start flashing roms READ more anthill you sure you know how is done for 100%. There are so many info how this should be done. READ this first :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839 Twice if you have to.
Good luck
Hi,
I am still a beginner with all this rooting stuff but i'm having a problem updating from cm 10 to cm 10.1, I try the OTA update and I clear the data catch etc in cwm then flash it and then Gapps and when I get back to my phone it can't 'find' my folders in sdcard0 it basically just disappears as it moves it from /storage/sdcard0 to something like /mnt/legacy and I was wondering if I am doing something wrong or?
sorry if I didn't make sense if you need any more info just ask... as I said i'm still a beginner
Thank you very much for any help

Ok, this is from the ProBam thread, posted by Deliberate:
Cm based ROMs will target the sdcard storage to use root/0/directory.
Normally all files besides the root/0/ directory will not be shown in a file explorer.
To solve this, you need a file browser that has root capability, like root explorer.
Then, go to mnt/shell/emulated, and all your files should be there.
Now, you can move all the files into mnt/shell/emulated/0/ folder and should solve the issue.
