Hi,
Sometimes there are so many folders on your sd card,you may have to scroll right down the page to find the one you are looking for.

If I put a zip file (rom.zip) on my sdcard outside of all the folders cwm doesn't "see" it when I choose install zip from sdcard". I see nothing but folders to choose from even though rom.zip is on thee card.
If I put rom.zip in any folder in the sdcard I can choose the folder after choosing install from zip and rom.zip is visible and can be chosen for installation.
I installed bamf forever from within a folder on my sdcard and it was fine BUT the directions always say to put the rom.zip on the root of the sdcard.
I am rooted with recovery and have the latest cwm.
Is there any problem unstalling roms from inside a folder on sdcard? Is there something wrong with my cwr?

It's odd that cwm doesn't see zips on the root of the card. It's absolutely fine to flash a zip that is inside a folder. I flash most of my zips from my download folder.

I thought it was ok but no idea what the cause of it is. Nice to hear from a developer though.
You don't happen to know if renaming otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak will really block the ota do you?

I am sure it is on the root of your SD card but depending on how many folders you have there you may need to scroll down since all folders can't be on screen at same time. When flashing a Rom it does not need to be on the root I keep my backup roms I download inside a folder along with roms i just want to try and they flash just fine. Only thing that needs to be on root of SD card is Full RUUs & Radios named PG05IMG.zip, and Update.zip
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
I know the file is there but no way to see it. The folders don't fill the cwm screen and there is nothing to scroll in cwm. You just see the list of folders. No scroll bar or anything.
Radios are flashed in hboot so that shouldn't be a problem.
Since I'm rooted I wont be installing any official ota's ....unless that rooted version I tried today had to be on the root of the sdcard? I had to install it from a folder to see it in cwm.

You could try erasing your recovery in Rom manager, then reinstalling it and see if that helps.

I'm an idiot. Like greenlantern said I just had to scroll down further with the volume down screen. I thought I could see all the folders but it turns out I had 64 folders on my sd card! Even better was to scroll UP! It went directly to the bottom of the list where my zip files were all along. Duh. Noob. Ugh

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?

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?

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.

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

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.

Try installing Rom Manager and from there Flash Clockworkmod recovery.
Or using adb reboot recovery?
Can't install rom manager cuz I don't have root.
Any help please?
Copy the attached file to your SD card and flash it via HBOOT. It will flash 4EXT to your phone. Remember to delete the file once done
I LOVE YOU!
Works well, thank you.
You can lock the post.

How can i copy it to my sd card?
You need a application called es file explorer or similar and you go into downloads from the es file explorer then find the file you just downloaded and long press on it. A menu will pop up. Press move to, then it will say sd card on the top and other files in the middle. Just press ok in that menu and it should move the file from your downloads directly to your sd card . From there you can get into bootloader by pulling battery, put back in, press volume and power at the same time. Because the file is a pg58img file the device will recognize it and ask to continue update, press power for yes. Let it update. When your finished please remember to DELETE the file or the bootloader will continue to update it over and over. Hope this helps. Best wishes

The same way you'd copy music or pictures to your SD. Just make sure the zip posted above is not in any folders on your SD card.
Hi, I've copied Rom Zip onto SD Card and can see it in File Explorer, however when I boot into Recovery I can't see it.
A previous rom i copied over in File Explorer can be seen in Recovery
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Are they in different directories or is one on an external card? Not to accuse you of being absent minded but I personally have had this problem because I forgot where I put a new file. I had to go back into File Explorer and locate the file so I could point to it in recovery. If it's not a silly error (again just offering my own silly experience) the only other thing I can think of is that it's a corrupted file.

I set up a special folder named "A_Roms" and place it on my sim card via USB cable and usually transfer roms and kenels to that file via USB, that way that file is the first file at the top of the page when I boot into recovery and hit install from SD card.

Just move your zip file to extSD and install it from there
I downloaded the latest superuser zip and native tethering zip and neither one is showing up in Clockworks recovery. I followed these directions from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpnVV2VqHR4&feature=youtu.be and got all the way up to flash zip and can't find zip files anywhere.
I placed the files on the root of the sd card and in the downloads folder in the sd card and still no luck

fyi, the reason it needs to be on internal is the recovery is a port over from the htc one m7 witch didn't have sd card storge
