[Q] No "install zip from sdcard" option in Recovery mode

Any ideas?

You need to give yourself the custom recovery. Look in the ec10 threads or something, it's pretty simple but I don't remember it all.

No, I found that guide after sageDieu told me "You need to give yourself the custom recovery."

Follow the instructions listed on the forums for installing a custom recovery. Or install a custom rom that includes the recovery needed automatically. And to everybody else, please limit the "Wrong forum" replies. He's been made aware of the policy and we have wonderful moderators that will move the thread if they see fit.

Irrelevant. You are still using instructions from another website. We can't speak for what another forum tells you to do.
Edit:
Oops double post.

Blah blah, ignore them. Just look through the older pages of threads in the dev forum, or maybe the stickies. You have to flash a recovery.bin with Odin, then flash an update.zip that you put on your SD card. Then it will put you in cwm where you can flash a voodoo kernel or something to give yourself permanent recovery.

No. The closest we got was 'install zip from sdcard' appearing but when she used it, it was just a black screen before booting her back to the CWM menu after a few secs/a minute. I'll try it all when she comes to the UK next month.

First off, before you start any of this, you may want to take a backup of the phone in case you do need to go back to stock, if you haven't taken a backup already.
No one else has actually linked to it (since we're not exactly sure what end result you're after), but first off I'd say get a copy of ClockworkMod (CWM) Red, which can be found at This Thread. Grab the TAR file at the bottom of the post.
Next, grab a copy of Odin, the flashing software for Samsung devices. You can grab it at the bottom of the first post in the Files to get your Mesmerize back to stock 2.1 and 2.2.1 thread. Note that if you bork the phone up and need to restore back to stock, this is where you can get Odin images for the phone as well.
Follow the steps in the Guide for getting you phone back to stock, EXCEPT, skip step 3, there will not be a PIT file for flashing CWM Red to your phone. Also, in step 4, it will just be a TAR file, not a TAR.MD5 file. As long as you see a yellow box on the left as shown in the picture in that thread, your phone is connected. If not, get them from the Samsung website here, assuming it's a Mesmerize from US Cellular:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-I500RKAUSC
About mid-way down on the left, click the blue link for "Software", and under the File column on the right, download the first file. Should be a long-named EXE file, and will install Samsung USB drivers to let the phone communicate with the computer.
That should get you Custom Recovery installed, which should allow you to flash ZIP files from the SD card.
I'm kinda giving you what you're after, but since it can be dangerous information, it comes with a caveat... In fairness, we haven't really been given a clear picture of what you're trying to do with the phone so far, just that you're at a point where you can't get "Install zip from sd card" to appear. Be VERY cautious about flashing things to the phone if you haven't read up on it, and read, and read some more. Skipped steps = bricked phones. Worse, I'm cobbling my instructions together from multiple guides, meaning it's even easier to skip a step. Just be warned of the perils, we're not responsible for what you do to your phone, alla that.
Can you give us specifics on what you're trying to do?

Please help a newbie out

Hey All,
Just had my infuse for a week and no complaints about the phone so far. But I have been reading a lot on this forum and I want to get off this stocky phone and get a ROM on it and see how much better it will be.
I'm fairly new to this as I have never rooted or loaded ROM's before, so running into a lot of problems. Trying to root my Rogers Infuse with superoneclick which didn't work and ended up getting stuck in boot loop so used odin3 fix and got it up and running again and rooted phone.
I downloaded the 3e recovery and used root explorer to r/w in system/bin which is telling me to rename old recovery file but for some reason I don't have an original recovery file. So I just paste the one I downloaded and unzipped in the folder, use rom manager and flash cwm. Then when I get to cwm recovery to reinstall packages but that option is not available on screen.
Sorry guys I'm pretty struggling with this, I have been searching all over and starting to think I should just stick to stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance!!

First download your ROM,next use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14053463
Then flash your ROM
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

you never set up CWM...
download rom manager from the market, click "flash clockworkmod recovery", then select plain old galaxys i900.
this should give you the "reinstall packages" option that you are looking for, and selecting that twice will get you to green recovery.
or you could just flash any infusion froyo kernel with heimdall or odin and get directly to red CWM (which is where you generally want to be flashing zips from).

Damn just tried it but stuck on Samsung boot screen. Seemed like everything got loaded on the phone, Odin3 said it was completed too. Maybe there is something wrong with my phone thanks.

try starting fresh from stock, and following this video to get your modded 3e recovery. make sure you adjust the permissions like the video does.

I will give it another go at it.
I will follow this link to get back to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
There are 2 downloads there that I see. "stock + rooted + 3e" and the other is "100% stock"
E

whenever i need to (i say that because most of the time it isn't really necessary), i always go back to 100% stock, do a factory reset from settings (make sure the contents of your SD card are backed up), and re-root it using superoneclick (making sure USB debugging is on, and my SD card is mounted).
then, follow the youtube video for modded 3e recovery, making sure to adjust the permissions at the end. flash clockworkmod recovery again in rom manager (plain old galaxys i9000), and this should allow you to finally flash your ROM.

Yea going to give it one last try before I go to bed thanks!

This is a good read on this phone. Kind if weird being so different from my Captivate for doing roms.

Thanks guys flashed Serendipity 7 it's great!

UCKD5 is a Froyo AT&T-derived ROM - the bootloaders on your Rogers Infuse probably won't like it.
It looks like you eventually figured things out, but in general - the Rogers Infuse has different "back to stock" and "rooting" processes from AT&T devices due to it having stock Gingerbread and more specifically, Gingerbread bootloaders. Since far more people here own AT&T Infuses, the Rogers-specific threads tend to get buried on the 2nd/3rd pages of dev, and people here forget that Rogers devices are "special" when posting suggestions.

[MODEM][ODIN + CWM] KI3 Modem

I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
This is ONLY the modem, not a full ROM.
I take no credit for this, I only extracted the modem.bin from the KI3 ROM leak.
Here is the new KI3 modem in Odin and CWM flashable form. Simply flash with Odin, or use the CWM recovery image. Enjoy!

this is the one everyone's using on KJ6 to bypass the plaguing 'message not sent' garbage yes?
if so, can I have a quick set of instructions on how to flash it please (like there should be in the OP)
I've got root on stock 236, I've installed/set up CWM (recovery in bin folder, zip on SD) and I've got root explorer installed..
I'm also aware of this flash tutorial, but being an Android beginner, I'm unsure if that's what we need to do for modem only..
so insight and instructions would certainly be appreciated

Not going to flame as it hinders things and I just read a very long angry post from bh about how annoying the community has gotten lol.
Its not the OPs responsibility to provide full flash instructions for roms. But if you have CWM already its really easy.
Select zip to install click the modem zip file, clear the cache and wa la.
Now if you don't have CWM just put the modem file in the modem section in ODIN and make sure the bootloaders box is unchecked and you're good.
Flashing a modem is not much different than flashing any Rom (except for the lower chances of things going wrong hehe)
Now what I will say asking this question here instead of just using the search or google only wastes your own time as well as other peoples time
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

search and google? LOL ..yeah, I've done that, and I get 2 dozen variations on how to flash - in one tutorial they say to use Odin (but they don't tell you how to use it urhr), in another tutorial, there's no mention of Odin what-so-ever - in yet another tutorial, links point to the Froyo only CWM - and in yet another, there's links pointing to the GB CWM.. and in another there's no mention of using any CWM at all so...
not to be cynical, but I've seen a lot of amagad whining about noobs and android beginners.. but if someone would actually put together a point blank step by step tutorial(s) without being so arrogant as to 'keep it in the community' by being ambiguous with their answers and/or excluding certain crucial or needed instructions in their tutorials, there wouldn't be an excess of noobs asking the 'wrong questions'
you'll always get a few knuckleheads, stupidity's inevitable.. but for the most part, dumb questions would be minimal and posted 'thank you's maximized because the available instructions are clear, informative and concise ..so in more ways than one, kats are bringn it on themselves by being vague and/or self-centered enough to completely skip over certain steps because 'myself and everyone here already knows that -or- there's already a tutorial on that little crucial part somewhere else on the web urhr'
I'm not trying to be an assO here.. but damn people, isn't this just common freakn sense? lol
but thanks for the Re Hampster, after 7 hours and cross-referencing 8 different tutorials, I got it flashed and working

Odin Guide:

Just make sure you skip the parts about flashing a new rom.
Grab the CWM file he posted and put it on your SD card. Remember where you saved it.
I assume you already know how to flash using CWM since you have your phone rooted?
If you don't, go in the market and grab Quick Boot
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
Once you got it installed open it and tap Recovery. Allow with SuperUser.
Once you're in CWM (red lettered text) select Install zip from sd card using the volume keys and confirm using power.
Select choose zip from sd card
Find the zip file for the KI3 modem. Select it and select Yes - Install ki3modem.zip or whatever it's called.
Your screen will flash blue/white text and might go blank for a moment. After this you can reboot. You can verify that you have the KI3 modem by going into Settings > About phone and checking the modem version under Baseband version.

I soft-bricked my SK4G trying to flash a custom ROM without making any backups or checking anything prior.. and I suffered.
I have ODIN and the sk4g.pit file, a good USB connection with stock cable and I cna get into download mode. Everything is looking really good, except MegaUpload and MultiUpload are down thanks to our guys up in the White House.
So, my (really desperate) question is, can anyone give me a working link to either KD1OdinSTOCK.tar or KG2OdinSTOCK.tar ? Even if it's .tar.md5, as long as it is the file I need to flash back to factory firmware, I'll love you forever. Been looking for 2 days already =\

Please help me, I'm really quite desperate. :\
EDIT: I found a firmware that seems to be the latest for SK4G, Looks like the tag is "KH1" Rather than KD1 or KG2.
androidwaptoday.blogspot.com/2011/10/stock-rom-t839uvkh1-221-for-samsung.html
I've downloaded it but I can't get into the .tar without a password? Is this normal for android firmware or is something wrong?
I'm also curious if I can odin my phone with this file rather than the other 2 mentioned above. Thanks again!

I also need the KD1 or KD2 firmware... it would be very helpful if somebody could post a working link!!! Ive been looking for 3 days haha
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Souldrainer, I think I may have found newer firmware. It looks legit and is from SamFirmWare.
http://hotfile.com/dl/145788939/08a9a06/SGH-T839_T839UVKH1_TMB.zip.html
That is the address to the file itself. If that does not work, look up "T839UVKH1" on SamFirmWare.com.
To get the password to open the file, you'll need to sign up on their website (free)
as far as I know, it contains everything KD1 or KG2 firmware would, and is newer. I believe you odin your phone with this program. I'm about to... as soon as I can get odin to recognize my phone.

the reason why i wanted it was because in case i did something wrong with CWM, because i cannot put the recovery file in with KJ2, i wanted something i could rely on to back it up because i can't make a nandroid backup..
I rooted the phone but it wont let me put in the recovery file, and when i try to boot into recovery i get the stock recovery, am i supposed to use the update.zip file that i got? cuz im not sure if it would work with KJ2.
and thank you for the file!!! i shall check it out xD

I believe the reason you're not going to CWM Recovery is because theres a binary file you need to edit since the SideKick has a faulty Recovery file.
http://www.simply-android.com/discu...work-mod-recovery-for-t-mobile-sidekick-4g/p1
If I'm not mistaken, the edited binary file can be found here, and that will allow you to boot into CWM Recovery. Be sure to back up the files just in case. And on the site it tells you to overwrite (still back up) so overwrite, and do not replace or rename. Hopefully that'll help!

yea but it wont let me replace the file, it keeps saying file already exists or that i cant do that

If you are rooted, you have to make sure that the system partition is mounted as readable/writable (r/w) before you attempt to replace the recovery binary file.
The easiest way to do that is download ES File Explorer from the market, then go into settings and scroll all the way to the bottom. Select the check box for "Root Explorer" ; then, check the box for "Mount File System". You will get a superuser warning prompt- "Allow" it.
Now go follow the process to overwrite the recovery binary and you shouldn't have any problems.
--Finally, make sure that you ALSO have the update.zip on your SD card and boot into recovery. You will end up seeing the stock recovery-select "reinstall packages" and voila... you should be in CWM.

The password is "samfirmware.com" without the quotes (simple google search).
So I also have this file (T839UVKD1) sitting on my hard drive waiting to find out: is this safe to use?
I don't care if it's new or old, it's the only .tar related to the SK4G that's downloadable and it just needs to work.
I just don't understand why no one will simply post T839UVKD1 or T839UVKG2 for those of us who need it (is it a bandwidth thing?), everyone just wants to say, "just go to here/this post," where all the wonderful instructions are that can help me save my phone, but where the links are dead (megaupload and multiupload are down, as we all know, so the files are unattainable) so we download Odin or Heimdal and the .pit file, but are stuck because: no .tar.

I've googled it and can't get a solution that works.

Caught in a loop - Guidance Please.

Good morning -
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm an existing user of the Galaxy Nexus and have been rooting / flashing it without any issue, but a little stumped on what went wrong with the captivate.
I picked up a brand new Captivate for my wife from Craigslist the other night for $60. I really nice phone...very nice screen.
I was successful in rooting it last night all though I did have to copy a recovery file into the system/bin. I believe that was because of a signature issue I was having and found some information on this site regarding the file.
Anyway, everything seem to have rooted fine and I copied CM9 to the proper location. Booted into ClockWorkMod and flashed the ROM.
However, it now boots to the AT&T screen, goes black, and then back to the AT&T screen. I can between ATT screens a script or something running.
I then used ODIN to get back to stock and appears it went through without any issues. However, it still gets in the same loop at the AT&T screen. I am still able to get into download mode. Perhaps I used the wrong ODIN.
Would someone have an idea of the next step? Do I need to get into some type of boot screen to do another master reset / format?
Thanks.

The first time when you were seeing the AT&T screen, a script screen, then rebooting, what was happening was that the phone needed to have the CM9 zip flashed again. The first time you flashed it, it essentially built the framework onto which the second flash would actually put CM9 in place.
As for where you are right now, you may want to flash back to a Gingerbread-based stock rom with bootloaders included (unless you're 100% certain it already has the Gingerbread bootloaders). There's a sticky in the development section that has all the stock roms.
Once you've flashed back to stock Gingerbread, try flashing the CM9 zip again. If it does the boot loop again, just hold Vol+/Vol-/Power until it reboots, and it should put you in ClockworkMod Recovery. At that point, just flash the CM9 zip again and you should be good to go.
One word of warning, as you're new to the Captivate. ICS-based roms, on some occasions, have a bug that can cripple the internal SD card of the Captivate. I'd suggest you look for the "Encryption Unsuccessful" thread in the Development section and read up a little bit so you are aware what that is.

Thank you for the assistance.
Is this where I should start for the ODIN?

In particular, 'I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe'
Thanks.

That looks correct to me. I'm assuming you'll need the bootloaders package, as you had mentioned you were dealing with the 3e signature error (which, if I recall correctly, is associated with stock Froyo roms).

Okay. Maybe next time I should just stick with a non-ICS ROM. Just need to find one in the development section.
Thanks a bunch! A great little phone and the screen is just outstanding.

Okay....back up and running using "In particular, 'I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe" from the above link.
However, now I can't get the one click root to work.

There's an easier way. Go to the Corn Kernel, grab a CWM-based zip file and flash it from within CWM recovery. That will give you the Corn Kernel, which will (I believe) give you root access.
Double check, though, that you can get to CWM recovery by using the V+/V-/Power key combo. It should have about 9 options (instead of the 4 in standard recovery).
If you don't have CWM recovery from the flash you just did, you'll just need to grab another one-click that has CWM baked in. There's one that says "Without Bootloaders - Link to thread - by 4-2ndtwin [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]". That flashes KH3, no bootloaders, but with the CWM-friendly kernel.

Or...from the Stock KK4 just use this new Utility by Red_81 to get CWM Kernel and Root... [Utility] KK4 Easy Root

Another thing about cm7 or cm9 is you have to remove the external sdcard (storage) before you flash.

I've heard this before, but I don't think I've heard the reason for why it's recommended to remove the external SD card.
I only ask because I've flashed those with my external SD card in place and the flashes went ok.

Everytime I've flashed aosp or aokp I had to remove the external sd or it would bootloop. Guess some phones deal with it better than others. Go figure...

I have tried a couple times last night with AOSP or AOKP and get into the same situation as you. However, I'm a rookie at the Captivate. I was able to flash a GB Custom ROM without issue.
More weekend research. I really want to try one of those other ROMS.
