I tried to wipe everything off my phone. I booted into Clock recovery. This is what I did: Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache
Format /data
format /system
format /cache
format /emmc
format /sdcard
Because I want to get rid of everything inside my phone and then I sell it to someone.
I downloaded some roms and put it into my sd card. But obviously, what I get is "Couldn't open directory. No files found"
I tried backup and restore and install zip from sdcard. But the result is the same.
My phone(Galaxy s2 t989) is rooted
I think I screw everything up
Please help I would really appreciate it.

Good luck
When you formatted /system you wiped your Android os files. You need to flash back to stock...follow the instructions doormankenneth posted.

Do you know if you have the updated radio (v1.00.00.0928)? If so, then you need to know that there are only a select few ROMs and kernels that will work with the updated radio. If you also have the updated hboot (v1.57, I believe), then you're kinda stuck (like me). If it's older than that, then you can try to do the RUU process to revert back to the old radio.
Good luck!

This problem generally comes due to mismatch of kernel(boot.img or bootloader) and ROM. Check weather you are using correct kernel image or not.
U said u are wiping everything that's fine. But are you flashing a boot.img before installing custom ROM.??

Recently rooted i747 with CWM and flashed Android 4.3 with no issues (shoulda just stopped there). I wanted to flash CM 10.2... data/factory reset, cache wipe, Davlik wipe... but flash failed. Rebooted into recovery to reflash 4.3, but nothing is found under sdcard/0. What am I missing? Thanks for any help!
Use the file explorer in recovery and navigate to /data/media/0. Your stuff should be there.
CWM v6.0.3.1
- reboot system now
- install zip from sdcard
- install zip from sideload
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
- advanced
I apologize for the ignorance, but I cannot for the life of me find any file explorer. When I try to install zip from sdcard, my only options are: 0/, clockworkmod/, and obb/. All of which state that no files are found.
Dl Rom onto sdcard with a computer. Maybe a factory reset will help first. I'm used to using twrp, which has a file explorer in it
I'll definately try that. Will my internal storage still be there? Thanks again.

Yes, your internal storage will still be there, unless u specifically wipe it. The file stucture is just a little different on these roms...

Using custom recoveries will not wipe your internal sd unless you specifically do so. Stock recovery (3e) however WILL wipe your internal on the latter releases.
Got it! Data/factory reset before flashing a stock 4.1.2 ROM through Odin and everythng is golden. Thanks!
Hello! I'm a nevbie...
I made my first root on Samsung GTn7105, I made a backup with Philz 6.07.9 and copied ditto rom DN3_v5_N7105_by_E-Team in external sd card. I wiped cache, dalvik, but when I try to start the installation the process soon ends with "installation aborted"...any hints?
Thanks
clear even system and data and then try.
If it doesn't work download again the ROM and do again a full wipe and flash it.

Have you tried acessing in a computer?
Also... you may have wiped everything before flashing RR.
