Hey Guys Please Help

Trust me I searched and now I'm tired and need some help.
I had my sd card filled with junk files so I cleaned the sd up.
Before doing this I was able to:
- power phone down
- press down volume key and power buton.
- phne would boot up and I had the option to choose RECOVERY.
- once in recovery I got the evo icon and triangle and exclamation.
- I than pressed the up volume key and power button.
- I than got choices were I would choose APPLY SDCARD:update.zip
NBow here's the problem! When I choose that I now get an error saying NO SUCH FILE EXISTS. Before the sd cleanup when I chose that I got option to install roms and do other things.
I copied EVERY update.zip file and update file I found on my PC to the root of the sd card and NONE work.
Can you guys please link me to the right file?
Thanks In Advance!!!!

What section should it be in? General?

Make sure you named the file correctly. You do not rename it to "update.zip" because it already adds the ".zip" file extension to the back. Just name the folder "update". I made this mistake, so I'm thinking you may have done the same thing.

yeah..maybe general, but I'd suggest using ROM Manager from the market..it puts a recovery there for ya

Thanks for that. I tried it but it tells me an error occured while attempting to run privilaged command. Its like my phone got un rooted!
I will wait for this thread to be moved were its suppose to be.

My guess would be that your microSD is corrupt. Assuming you're running Windows, pull any files you need off the card and save them, then re-format the card with:
FAT32 (default)
quick format
4096 bytes
Once the card has been reformatted, put your files back on and try it again.

[Q] E: Cant mount /sdcard - CWR

Hi guys and gals. I'm a complete newb when it comes to tinkering with Android, I have a little experience with iProducts as I have mucked around with them for a while. Jailbreaking an iProduct is piss easy compared to this!
I have just unlocked & flashed my Xoom with JWTylers One click method here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196
All works well. In the 'about' section it showed the Tiamat kernel to be 1.1.6, or something like that. I also downloaded Rom Manager and flashed CWR through it. What I wanted to achieve was external sdcard functionality, so I tried reflashing with this step to 1.3.1 ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13036180&postcount=497
Worked a peach.
So, I did everything step by step, and created a new folder called 'sdcard2' in the sdcard directory. After finishing everything I downloaded the 1.3.2 zip and moved it from downloads to sdcard2 folder with Root Explorer? Ran the CWR recovery and when I go to press the flash zip from sdcard I get an error: E: Cant mount /sdcard".
I dont have an sdcard in the slot while I'm doing this, so, I don't know if this is the cause.
Any help to explaining this would be great!

Hey, just flash the new Timat kernal 1.4.0 and download auto mount from the market and your set!

Hi, thx for your reply. Can I just download the file directly to'my downloads folder on my Xoom, like I did in the second link I pasted in my post, and follow those steps? I also mentioned that I don't have an sdcard inserted. Would this make any difference as to why I'm getting the error message in CWR?

You need an sd card, that is probably why you got the error.

Appreciate your help. I'll be getting my sdcard soon, I hope it works.
I also did download an auto mount program from market. What is it exactly suppose to do? It had one option at the top to tick which was to auto mount, and that was it. I suppose it runs in the background doing it's thing?

OK. I got the sdcard working, I flashed to 1.3.2.
I can transfer stuff onto my sdcard2 within my xoom and it will show when i insert the card into my PC. It won't work the other way around though. I can't get the files to show up in root explorer, or with any media player even if its a video file. Why is that? Is there a work around?
All help appreciated.

You have to reboot the xoom for them to show up.

Forgot to delete PG58IMG.zip & need help!

I forgot to delete the PG58IMG.zip & my device when entering recovery wants to update that zip file & I can't choose the recovery option. My device will not go past the HTC screen. I have ADB installed, how can I get into recovery again & re-flash a rom? I'm a newbie so please forgive me if this is already posted somewhere, I did search but I'm freaking out a little about the current state of my phone! Thanks for your help!

if you can still use the phone i'd go in and use the phone in usb storage mode and delete the file from the root directory

I can't get past the white HTC screen. I can get into recovery but it tries to install the PG58IMG.zip before I can key down to the recovery option.

Pretty simple, remove your memory card and boot your phone.
Or use a card reader to remove the file.
Cheers.

or do what he said lol

I just realized that but when trying to to read the card on my PC it ask to format? Won't that delete the files I need? I can get into recovery when taking the SD Card out but it needs the files to flash. Any help? Should I do a data/factory reset?

Hi,
No need to format.
Just delete the PG58IMG.zip.

I will not show me the files on the SD Card! It's asking me to format to use?
*FIXED* Thanks for all your help & not being a jerk about it!

remove sd card and try mounting it to another phone.
it's what i did...

[Q] Can't find zip in recovery mode when trying to install rom

Hi All.
I'm new to this and trying to install my first rom (aiming for cynagenmod 7- it has the language support i need, or so they say)
I rooted my phone and followed a yourtube video titled "How To Install CyanogenMod 7 Nightly on T-Mobile G2x after Nandroid Backup"
When i get to the part where i need to install zip from sd card, i can't find the file. I went back and copied the zip file into a few different folders, and although i can locate the folders, it tells me that the file cannot be found.
How do i get around this? Your help is much appreciated.

How did you download it? Through rom manager or from the phones xda app, browser? Look in folders with xda or rom manager?? Next time just copy and paste it to the root of the sdcard, not in a folder.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Downloaded it on a computer and then copied it to sd card

and you can't find where you put it? did you place it in a certain folder already created... you can plug your phone in to pc then enter recovery mode, go to storage and mounts at the bottom select mount usb then copy the zip to your sdcard in no folders.

When i try to do that t tells me unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory).
From recovery mode there are some folders i can't see when i browse the folders on the computer when the phone is booted up normally - and vice versa. Is this an indicaiton of a problem?

Silly question: do you actually have an SD card inserted in your phone? If so, what did you use to format it?

i do have an sd, and i actually didn't format it. should i format? if so, what is the best way?
Your help is much appreciated

Did you try, while in recovery, taking the back off your phone, pop out the sd card, wait 1 second, then pop it back in?

Stupid question, but it's a mistake some beginners make, but did you unzip it by any chance? That could be a reason CWM isn't seeing it. Once you DL the ROM you need to leave it untouched. Then place on SD.
After that in CWM go to choose zip from sd.
And you attained CWM via NVFlash correct?

no, didn't unzip, left it as cm_p999_full-201.zip
and yes, did get the CWM via NVFlash

Maybe you accidentally copied it to internal memory instead of the sdcard. You can check in cwm under internal sdcard I believe is what it is called.
When you connect the phone through USB it mounts both internal and the sdcard.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

My file explorer sees it in both the root and the folder I created in the root - both can't be seen in recovery mode.
Should i list the directories i see in both views?

In cwm are you selecting install zip from sdcard or install update from sdcard

I ask it to install zip from sd and not update

you may have put it on the "internal sd card" instead of external sd card, however this is not an issue if you flash CWM 5.0.2.0 or later, it has an option to install zip from internal sd and external. i renamed my external sd card to avoid future confusion (otherwise i see two "removable disks" when i plug my phone into my computer)

Check your file names on your SD card. Check what you see listed in Recovery. If you see differing file names, then you're accessing the wrong memory.
I'm going to assume you tried booting with the physical buttons. Try booting with CWM which should give you a blue menu.

i did try to boot both ways and both times i did not find it... for the millionth time i took the sd card out and put it back in and rebooted using cwm, and funny enough, it found the direcotry... and yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, cynagenmod7 is my new rom
thanks for all your help, support and commiseration... really, much appreciated. i do ve a few more issues that i have to research now... again, external sd not found though... will probably solicit more help
again, thanks

Don't unzip the file. When you flash anything via clockwork, it flashes using .zip files.

[Q] Get rom oncsd card but phone doesn't work

Im running cm10 unofficial rom and I downloaded a LCD resolution thing and changed it and clicked reboot it wouldn't reboot so I tried reflashing my rom the thing is my rom isn't on the sd card anymore since I deleted it, please help!!!!

Can I get another sd card and put the rom on there, transfer to my phone and flash the rom and then turn off phone and put my old sd card?
^ I don't think I can do the above since that means I have to actually get into my phone to download Clockwork Mod Recovery.
Please help, I'm using cm10 rom and I downloaded a lcd resolution app, it reboot my phone but it wouldn't load, now I have to flash the rom again so that I
can use my phone again, but my rom isn't on the sd card, what do I do?
I cleared dlavik cache, cache, and mount sd card or something like that. Help please!

Instead of making many threads for each of your problems, you should just make one and list all your problems there.
You should always understand the process before you begin in the first place.
You can keep your old sdcard. Just boot into recovery, mount usb storage, copy your rom from the computer to the sdcard, unmount usb storage, and flash the rom.

Do you mean mount usb storage from advanced? When I plug in my phone to pc, it says device driver not installed etc.
But the thing is I was just testing and when I click install zip from sd card, I don't see my sdcard/ folders because I think I somehow wiped my sd card? Not sure.
And I also get E: Bad boot message "recovery"
Help! It's my sister's phone.

Along with my other post above, I got the mount usb storage to work, but I need more space to put my rom in. I remember there was 162mb
before I used the backup function from clockworkmod recovery, I can delete the recovery img to free up all the 162mb that it used, but I don't know the location cwm saved the backup, where is it? so i can delete it

Please do some research before diving into something like this. Look under the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard.

Okay, I fixed it, thank you very much sweetnsour.
I now have a problem, a friend of mine texted me and their number isn't saved, how do i save it from a text message instead of manually adding to contact?

I don't see that

You should also be able to save to message senders info by long pressing on the message in the message list and selecting Add to Contacts. This is going to vary slightly between Android versions and messaging apps.
For all the statements you quoted, it is what it is. We've both been around here for a while. I myself have answered these questions numerous times in various threads. In any case, I'm not here to argue, but it is part of my responsibility to remind others of the rules and regulations and to what XDA expects from it's members.
