Weird issue here, i'm trying to flash a rom via CWM 3.0.0.x and it can't find my zip file after i've partitioned the sd card for data2ext, help? I've tried to put the zip file in a folder on the sd card and renaming it to update.zip haven't helped.
I have a problem with my phone. Everytime a flash a new rom, stock or custom, when I connect the phone via mass storage to the pc, if I try copping a file to internal sd, it says that is full, although it isn't.
Is this a hardware problem or different?
Tnx !
no its not a problem. all of us experience it. we can mount internal and external but we cant put files on it in pc. You can in your file explorer or any file manager but i assure you not a sd card problem
EDIT- just clearing out the above statement the 2nd sentence, just for internal but for external, you can put files.

Yes,With external SD I have no problem, just with internal.I always have to copy all my data in PC, format internal sd an copy back all files after I flash a different rom .
Hi,
I am trying to install a ROM (Revolver) but when I boot into recovery and select "chose zip from SD card" it only show files like Alarm\, Android\, and application folders on the tablet and not the contents of the microSd card. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can get to the .zip files on the microSD card?
Thanks,
Jerry
That version of recovery doesn't read external SD cards, only internal, you'll need to upgrade to Rouge XM or another that supports external.

Hello. I was preparing for a full wipe of my phone (Galaxy S3 i9300) for a clean flash for my next ROM. So I did was I got a SD Card Reader and plugged my SD Card in and put it in a laptop to copy the files, while suddenly, my SD Card got corrupted. I tried to format the SD Card with the same SD Card Reader (not knowing the Card Reader was faulty) but it made things worse. So, I took a different Card Reader, and formatted the SD Card and now all seems well. Until, when I put the .ZIP file in the SD Card, put the SD Card on my phone, and install .ZIP from SD Card on my phone using TWRP (2.8.6.1), it displays the error "E: Zip file is corrupt!" So naturally, I restarted the phone into recovery, formatted the SD Card using TWRP, changed the file system to FAT (vfat) and it displays the error "E: Unknown MTP message type: 1", then I tried repairing the file system, and it was successful. So I did was put the .ZIP in the SD Card again and try it again, with no luck.
I have already used all of these to format the SD Card and the phone still thinks the .ZIP file from the SD Card is corrupted:
Diskpart
Chkdsk
EaseUs Master Partition
Windows Format
SD Formatter (v4.0)
---------------------------------------
TL;DR
Phone got fully wiped, SD Card got corrupted while transfering files because of faulty Card Reader, SD Card got formatted a lot of times, Finally got the SD Card running, but now, if I put it inside the phone, it thinks the .ZIP File from the SD Card is corrupted.
What should I do?
p.s. (I already downloaded the same .ZIP file multiple times to make sure it was healthy, and it is)

Yes, the .zip file does work. I can open it on my pc
Sadly, I can't get a new SD Card. Mainly because I need this SD Card because it is a 32GB SDHC Class 10 SanDisk SD Card, and it's not cheap to get a new replacement (of the same SD Card).
I would like to know how to fix this corrupted SD Card. Because everytime I plug it into my PC (and use Windows Check Drive for Errors, and Chkdsk) and find there's no errors. And then when I finished placing the files into the SD Card, when I plug it the next time, everything got corrupted, but Windows still does not detect any errors on the drive..... wut

Copy paste via USB cable? The ZIP might be corrupted in a way that the script is broken or somehing. Try copypasting the file via USB and if that doesn't work download a different ZIP.

Thanks for all the help. I was in contact with SanDisk and they are willing to replace the corrupted microSD Card. Anyways, thank you
I have the latest twrp for my device (twrp-3.2.3-0-peregrine). The device is unlocked, encrypted and rooted (Magisk), running lineageos 14.1.
The SD card is part portable, and part internal.
I copied some installation zips from my PC onto the internal part (sdcard), but twrp cannot see them. The only directory it seems to be able to see on the internal part of the SD card is TWRP but it can't even see files I place in that directory. twrp can, however, see all the files on the external SD card (sdcard1).
If I use a file manager on the mobile when running normally, I can see all the folders under /storage/emulated/0/ (which is the internal part of the SD card).
How can I get TWRP to see all the files?
