[Q] Why Cwm don't do this?

Ok. My sidekick 4g is rooted, i installed rom maneger, flashed clockwork mod, but when i want to install a rom from sd card, i boot into recovery, but i dont have the option of installing from sd. So i cant install any roms. anyone know why? i wanna instal smooth maximus already in my sd card.
maybe just try going into recovery mode the regular way, without using cwm? then try it that way? did you save the .zip of the ROM you want onto the root of the sd card?

cant turn on my htc plzzz neeed help very quick

I was advised that i needed to update my recovery to twrp from cwm recovery to avoid an issue i got while flashing roms (the contents of my sd card would get pushed down into a subfolder of a newly created set of folders) however when i wiped my phone, as i always used to do with CWM twrp seems to have wiped a lot more, its wiped the existing rom, and all the files on my card, so i cant install a new rom. Basically i only have access to twrp recovery mode, how can i get the rom .zips onto my phone to install them? Id really appreciate any help at all, i had no issues flashing with CWM and i re

You can mount your storage as mass storage with twrp.
Your PC will find your phone like a normal mass storage device.
which model

can you plz tell me a stable rom
It wouldn't be a full brick he can get into bootloader and recovery... Just get any rom mount storage put the rom on sd Card and flash it... If needed flash boot. Img as well.

As posted above you probably flashed a rom that requires a boot. Img flash the boot. Img in bootloader.

[Q] do I need ROOT to install a custom ROM?

My i815 is on its way to SAMSUNG repair in texas. I tried to root it to install a custom rom and ended up in a bootloop. I did try a bunch of stuff to try and fix it.
Anyways, I have been reading up in the forums and am getting a bit confused:
Do I even NEED to be rooted to install a Custom ROM? Do I just need to install CWM from ODIN (bootloader? or pda?, confused there as well). And then install the ROM I want from within CWM (install from external zip)...
Or, is the i815 so "special" that it requires root?
THX!

I thought it was different for the P68xx and the i815? Can someone with a i815 confirm? If I don't HAVE to root, and all I need is CWM falshed through Odin (PDA), then install zip from CWM, I may try again.
Thx!!!

If you are able to get into recovery, you should be able to access the download folder and flash once again any of the custom ROM saved in the download folder. If not, download any custom ROM and use OTG to flash it.
