Flash ROM zips without PC? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

How do I flash a ROM without an SD card? On all the devices I've ever ran a custom ROM I've had an SD card to flash from that wouldn't get cleared when I wipe and format. Without said SD card, the ROM file would be deleted, correct?
So my real question is, how do I flash a ROM without a PC or SD card on my N7 2013?
EDIT: I have rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and flashed TWRP recovery without a PC.
I used Towelroot to root;
I used BootUnlocker (Available in the Play Store) to unlock my bootloader;
and I used Flashify to flash the TWRP image.
Thanks

Download rom and place in /sdcard, reboot into bootloader, use advanced wipe but leave internal storage unchecked, swipe to wipe, flash rom

If you have TWRP just download it onto your internal memory and flash it. In TWRP you can just "swipe." This action does not wipe the internal memory, the ROM you want to flash will remain. Always run a backup first thing in TWRP before doing any flashing.

Thanks guys.

If I don't wipe internal won't I get a boot loop though?

not necessarily. you should just have the same files like pictures and stuff from your last rom.

Internal storage is all the files in /sdcard.

OK. Thank you all, I successfully flashed CarbonROM but I'm experiencing an issue that I think has to do with the gapps package I flashed. I used the stock PA Gapps, updated yesterday, but when I try to download a cyanogen mod theme from the play store I get an error 400 unable to install. This is only with themes, I installed TiBu and a couple other apps just fine. Any idea why?

Formated SD Card accidentally, cant install a Rom...Help lol

So I decided to update my JellyBro Rom to the next release, and thought it was a great idea to do a completely fresh install, so i formated the data/cache/system and internal SD...now I cant get into the external sd card anymore to reach my rom as the CWM is telling me "No files found"
How do I reach the external card?
Do I have to reflash through odin, if so can I flash a .zip ROM directly, or must I flash a stock "ODIN" ROM?
Thanks!

you should be able to push twrp on there (different recovery) and it will allow you to mount the storage and write to it.

The newest release of CWM 6.0.1.2 has install zip from external SD. If you're on that release, just throw it on your external SD from your computer (providing you have the adapter) and flash from there.
I did the something. Lost all backups. Used Odin for stock root and lost iemi

If you're installing a stock ROM, you'll have to root and then install CWM (I did with ROM Manager after) as it over writes your custom recovery with stock again.

I Odined the stock rooted Bell ROM, on ROM Manager, it doesn't have my phone in the list of phones...do I have to flash it through odin?
Odin is a good option
Use Flash/NonTrip instructions. And flash 5.8.4.5 version of CWM. There is regular and touch friendly version. 5.8.4.5 has support for both sdcards.
I found CWM6 for our phones, but its an .img file. How do i go about flashing that?
id like to know as well. Us canadians cant use Rom manager unless we flash something other than a stock rom
The instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 have how to get an .img recovery flashed through adb and terminal emulator (listed as optional third step I believe of first post)

Issue flashing new roms

Hey I've been rooted for about 5 months now but never really got into it deeply. I'm in need of some help, could be easy but I'm stumped. Basically I was running a custom rom which was an AOKP JB rom released back in early September. It flashed no problem and what not, and has worked flawlessly up until today when I tried to flash to a new AOKP JB rom released.
I had done nandroid backups prior to attempting. So I downloaded the rom via AOKP OTA updates and then put it on my external sd card, and updated my cwm recovery to the most recent version. I then proceeded to cwm recovery and wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache, and wiped the dalvik cache. I believe the first time around I forgot to format system and proceeded straight to flash the rom via external sd card, but it kept saying error can't external sd card every time attempting to flash the rom. I then tried to do it from internal sd card because it was located in AOKP OTA folder and it started flashing the rom but then an error occured very early on. Now since I have restored from my nandroid backup I'm now unable to access my external sd card, my phone just won't locate it.
Basically I need help figuring out what happened and how I can get my phone to recognize my micro sd card and how to properly go about flashing this rom.
Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
If it helps I'm with Rogers. Also is it alright that I went back to a stock rom, can I update the stock rom too without any issues?
Anyone please?

So are you currently back to stock? If so, what version of stock?
Yes I'm back to stock, which was from a nandroid backup. Running 4.0.4 tried doing software update but it failed. Am I going to have to go through odin and flash stock rom to unroot and then root again? Cause my micro sd is going insane keeps getting a errors....

Have you tried changing recoveries and seeing if you have more luck with TWRP?
No I haven't tried it, you think it would make a difference? I have just got the new cwm prior to these issues.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk HD
I would be sure to have a good, clean download of the ROM you want to install on your internal SD as well as a NANDROID somewhere for worst case. Then, install TWRP through the GooManager app from the play store. Once in the app, hit the menu button and select to install a custom recovery script. That should install the newest TWRP in place of CWM.
From there, enter recovery mode. It would be recommended to go the wipe menu and choose factory reset and then dalvik. FInally, install your ROM .zip and GAPPS. Hopefully that should work and install the ROM of your choosing.
If that is without success, flashing back to Stock via Odin may be your best choice.

I personally have never flashed a custom ROM from anywhere other than my internal SD. I actually had root with numerous custom ROMs without ever using an external SD.
Alright so hopefully this sorts out my external sd card then.

Installing CM 10.1 help

Hey guys, so I'm deciding to try to put CM 10.1 stable onto my AT&T galaxy s3 obviously. I'm rooted and the superuser file is on my phone sd. Am I suppose to put CM 10.1 and the gapps onto the phone SD as well or am I suppose to put all of them onto my ex.SD card (p.s. It's only a 2gb :/ )? Also, should I try using goomanager or ROM manager or should I just put the files onto my SD and go into recovery and do it that way then? Sorry for the noob questions again, I'm just really knew to all of this stuff

It's always good to put them on your external SD that way if you wipe your internal by accident you'll still have your ROM and hopefully your backup to gall back on.
If you don't have clockwork mod recovery or twrp installed yet you'll need to take care of that first. Decide which recovery you want, download the appropriate program (goo manager for twrp or ROM manager for cwm)
It'll install your recovery.
Reboot into recovery and you'll want to back up your current setup in case you make a mistake. Than you'll wipe than flash your ROM and gapps and reboot and you're done.
This guide should help you with anything you need.

Thanks a whole lot! I appreciate it! Just a few more questions.
*Here's a real nooby one, how do I know if I have CWM or TWRP installed? I can get into recovery mode and it shows that Rom manager symbol up at the top.
*Should I move the SuperUser.zip file from my internal SD to my external sd and would I have to re-root if I did that?
*Hopefully the last question I have , and should my 2gb ex. SD card be big enough for all of the files and the back ups?

Ok so let's answer the last question first. 2gb is fairly small for anything other than 1 backup (depending on what you are backing up) and a ROM and Gapps. I have a 2gb sd that I keep my stock backup and a couple recovery files on for an emergency and a 32gb in my phone for everyday use.
I'm a little concerned about the SuperUser.zip you have floating around, have you installed it yet?
How did you root? I'm curious to see what steps you take. Because once you root, you than flash custom recovery and install SuperUser.zip IN your recovery. So either you already have recovery installed or you aren't 100% rooted yet.
Once SuperUser.zip is installed you can delete the zip, if you want to. It's merely an install file.
Go to your apps, do you see an app labelled SuperUser or SuperSU?

Ok I re read that again and noticed you mentioned that you got into recovery and you can see the logo for Clockwork Mod.
That's great. If you haven't already installed SuperUser.zip you'll want to do that. Also download ROM Manager if you haven't and make sure your recovery is up to date. The latest CWM is 6.0.3.1 you'll see the build number while you're in recovery.
Once that is all done, in recovery you'll want to make a backup.
After that you'll need to preform a full wipe and than you can flash the ROM and Gapps.

Yeah I have SuperSU installed and it grants me root access for like titanium back up and triangle away and that stuff.
Here's the steps that I used to root:
*Plugged my phone into my computer and copied the SuperSU.zip onto my internal SD
*Unplugged my phone and turned it off and booted it into download mode.
*Then I pressed Vol. Up to continue and then I plugged my phone back in and opened odin.
*I clicked the PDA button and chose the .tar file that I downloaded. (The whole thing that I downloaded was called RecoveryGalaxyS3USCanada)
*I then clicked start and waited till it said passed.
*It passed and then I took out my battery so it would be off and then put it into recovery mode I think. (Vol. up + home + power)
*Then it booted into a menu and I clicked install from SD card and then install zip from internal SD card and then I chose the SuperSU.zip and clicked yes and then it loaded and all that and then I chose to reboot it. It rebooted and then I had the SuperSU app and then I downloaded Titanium backup to make sure I was fully rooted and it loaded and backed it up.
That is all the steps that I did to root my s3. It was a video that I found on galaxys3root.com

No I was wondering because if you were on a Canadian carrier we would have extra steps.
Download ROM manager and make sure that your recovery is up to date it should be 6.0.3.1
Once its up to date you're ready to backup and flash.

Rom manager causes a LOT of issues when flashing with it. Same with Goo Manager. Some people have had their devices bricked because of thos programs. They are good for just updating your recovery.
Making a nandroid will allow you to try out new ROMs while still keeping a safe backup in the event you experience issues during or after the OS installation. Be sure your device is fully charged before proceeding onto the backup and flashing procedures.
These are the steps you need to backup/wipe/flash manually.
It will become second nature to you quite quickly.
This is from xBeerdroidx's guide I sent you.
Backup all your pictures and music to your computer before doing any of this so you don't lose it.
1. Power off your device.
2. Press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time.
3. Release the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner
4. You are now in custom recovery.
5. In CWM go to Backup and Restore and select Backup.
6. After backup is finished, select reboot system now or stay in recovery to continue with this guide.
*NOTE: Be sure to save a copy of this backup to your computer and/or micro sd card. Having a recent backup saved to your computer and micro SD card can be useful if something happens to your phones internal memory.
1. If you are not already in recovery, boot in now (Vol Up + Home + Power. Release the power button at vibrate and when you see the blue script in the top left corner).
In CWM:
2. Select Wipe data/factory reset
3. Select Wipe Cache
4. Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Select Mounts and Storage and format /system
6. If you are transitioning from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2 to 4.1, you must also format /data. You will lose all personal data so back it up first.
7. From the main recovery screen:
>>CWM - Choose the "install .zip from SD Card" or "install .zip from external SD card" option (depending on where you placed the files) then navigate to the ROM file, select it and confirm.
8. If you need to flash gapps, repeat step 5 and select the gapps package.
9. Reboot system. It will take several minutes to load so be patient and don't worry. Once the phone is booted, let it sit for 5 minutes, reboot and enjoy!

[Solved] Stuck Between Rock and Hard Place

Hi,
I was hoping to flash my (Canadian) SGH-T999V with 10.1.0 release. Did a Titanium backup, saved it to my external card. Tried to do a system backup in CWM, but I didn't have enough space and CWM 5.8.4.7 had no option to save it directly to my external SD card so I stupidly went ahead with my update anyway.
I decided I wanted to do a clean install so I formatted /system, cleared the caches, ect.
What I didn't expect is that when I installed 10.1.0 I would run into an issued described here. Basically, my bootloader was "old" and CM decided to only allow the newer bootloaders to minimize problems. I don't have the new bootloader, so I can't install 10.1.0.
The solution, installing an updated bootloader, is available and it is posted here
Unfortunately, I have no ROM installed and no backup available to revert to. The only ROM I have available is 10.1.0 and I cannot flash this.
What is the best way to proceed? I assume it would make sense to place the bootloader update (available in the second link) onto my internal sdcard; however, I'm not sure how I could do this. The other option would possibly be to copy the bootloader update to my external SD card and put it back into my phone, but I am not sure how I can install an updated from it (is it possible with CWM 5.8.4.7?)
Update 1
** I should add that under "Mounts and Storage Menu" I do not have a mount USB Storage option. If I did, this wouldn't really be a problem.**
Update 2
I am unable to connect to my phone via ADB. I hoped to do an ADB push of the new bootloader. I've installed the Samsung USB driver (and Kies), but Windows fails to recognize my phone when it is plugged in an in CWM recovery. At this point my options are getting few and far between.
Update 3
Solved below. Used Odin to flash a stock, rooted firmware.
Thanks for the help.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think if you just flash root 66 or stock firmware through Odin you should be fine.

I'll hold off for a bit to make sure there aren't any objections.
Thanks a ton!
That solved it. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
Glad I could help!

Help with Installing CleanROM.

Hi, I will have my hands on this tablet very soon and want to use the Cleanrom that is listed in a thread here. This will be my first time doing this and have been searching around for a guide. I have read a few bits and pieces but would like someone to explain in a few steps so i can get this right the first time.
I found a guide to Root it at rootgalaxynote.com but would like to understand how to install the CleanROM.
Hello,
You have to install TWRP Recovery first, then you need to copy Rom.zip to storage and then flash it using Recovery, dont forget about Wipe.

I havent installed anything yet as i will be receiving it for christmas. Not 100% sure on process so was posting here hoping someone could explain the process a bit more in laymans terms as this will be the first time i will be doing this. i understand you have to root the device so you can change the ROM, wasnt sure on what to do after that.

All you need is to Install Custom Recovery to change ROM, that will allow you to do anything you want with your device (such as System Backup/Restore, installing .zip packages, and etc.) read thread about TWRP so you can find everything you need to know.
But notice the fact you'll lose your warranty installing custom roms, as I know there is no way to change warranty bit back to 0 yet.
All information you need to know about Custom Roms is already there.

Here you can find TWRP. I would recommend flashing the ".0"version because some people are having problems with the newer one
Worked fine for me , just did the same process as you

Thanks, all i need is Santa to hurry up now lol.
Are you sure you wanna get P600 not P605?
Make sure you get the right version, whether Quality or Exnyos. I had a freeze until I got the right version.

Step 3. Download and unzip P600_Autoroot.zip:

Edit: Should i do this first before the TWPR?
Build says CleanRom 1.0 but all apps are still present
My build says CleanRom 1.0 but I still have all of the apps that others say are removed such as Sketchbook. My note was rooted using the AutoRoot file with Odin and then the stock recovery was flashed. I then used the twrp 3.0 file and booted into recovery. I then installed CleanRom (without reset per instructions) and the device rebooted and everything worked except all of the apps were still there. I then tried to re-flash CleanRom and perform the wipe but I then got stuck on the Samsung splash screen to no avail. I booted into recovery and tried re-flashing the CleanRom zip to no avail. All I could do to get this thing booted was to flash the auto-root file again in Odin, re-flash twrp, and install cleanrom again from the recovery but all of the apps are still there. Before I did any of this I had a bunch of the bloatware either frozen or uninstalled in Titanium but now some of those apps show lines through them in TBP. Either way, my device is showing CleanRom 1.0 under the build but I really don't think it is... any ideas on how to fix this?
Hi i'm a newbie on android
i've tried to install this rom a lot of time but unsuccessfully at any time
i've tried all the solutions i found here but none were successfull
i am under TWRP 2.6.3.0
my tablet is rooted but after the rom flash ,when i reboot ,just after the "galaxy note edition 2014" logo there's a black screen
the only way to repair is to flash with the mk1 stock rom after or to restore my old version saved with TWRP
can someone help ?
thanks

Before flashing your rom perform a factory reset in twrp and format /data. All your apps will be deleted and you should be fine if you are stuck on the samsung boot logo it might help to boot into recovery and format /cache and dalvik cache

So, I did the factory reset in twrp and then formatted the data. Naturally, everything was lost but when I went to install CleanRom it was no longer on the internal memory due to the format... but I did copy it to the Ext SD Card. MY problem is that twrp won't install the zip from the sd card. Each time it says its unable to mount "/data" even though I'm going into "advanced settings" and placing the check mark. I re-flashed twrp and tried using file manager to move the file to the internal storage but came up with the same problem. Also, I can't place the check on mount data for some reason. Now, my tablet starts to boot up but hangs on the samsung screen before the boot animation. Basically, its like there isn't any firmware on it and I tried re-doing the auto-root and stock recovery but thats a no go as well. Is this thing toasted?

Boot into TWRP and click "Restore Back Up" (Cannot remember exact verbiage) . Find where it says internal storage and press it and it will switch to a drop down and you can choose "External SD" Then go back and and it should be going to External SD instead of internal SD when you select install
Make sure you factory re-set. For safety, I advance wipe but I don't think that is necessary.
You may need to re-flash recovery if you're unable to access it.

Your device is not toasted I always have the Rom zip on the root directory of the device so formatting /data will not affect the rom zip. If you cant get it working then you might need to flash a firmware via odin and after that copy the rom on the internal root directory. Resetting your device should not format the whole internal storage so you can install the rom afterwards. Good luck mate

After the holiday (and many stressful attempts) I was finally able to re-boot the device and get past the splash screen. Opening Kies seemed to "kick" past the splash screen even though it said my device wasn't compatible with Kies. Anyway, I flashed the stock recovery, wiped, reset, flashed original firmware via Odin, flashed TWRP again, and then installed the CleanRom zip. Phew... it's FINALLY over with no issues and running smooth. I think the problem came in with TWRP not wiping correctly even though it said it did. I do appreciate all of the help and advice as you guys are life-savers!
Exnyos?
