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.

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.

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.
Greetings, everyone. I do not own the device, but my girlfriend does. Lately, she tried rooting her Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus GT-P6200 and asked me for help, I downloaded the correct root.zip file via my phone and sent it to her via bluetooth. After that, I made sure that it was saved on her MicroSD card and not just on the internal memory. Then I booted up in recovery, chose apply from sdcard or something like that...but then it always displays something like "No sdcard found" or something similar. Are there any ways to fix this or any other way of rooting her tab?
P.S. Forgive me if this issue has been raised before, I simply do not have the time to read other posts, threads, etc. I'm too busy with this semester in school. And I'm used to using cmd.exe for complex commands for my phone in Fastboot mode. :fingers-crossed:
Try having her transfer the zip onto the tablets internal memory instead and re-try it. I'm assuming you're using the v5.x.x CWM that aorth and/or gary built. The latest CWM that aorth built (v6.x.x) seems to have an issue with reading the external memory, if I remember correctly.

maybe you could try installing a different recovery, try the clockworkmod recovery that can be found in android development section of tab plus
continue loving your girlfriend!

oke question for TS:
1. are your girlfriend tablet use HoneyComb or already in ICS?
2. are you using CWM recovery instead of original recovery from Samsung?
if,
1. using honeycomb and haven't install CWM, download root.zip, and put it in your external sdcard. go to recovery mode, choose install update from EXTERNAL storage, reboot when finished.
2. using honeycomb and already install CWM, use the same root.zip above and put in your external sdcard. go to recovery mode, choose install zip from sdcard, choose zip from internal sdcard, choose root.zip and choose yes - install root.zip, reboot after finished.
3. using ICS and haven't install CWM, read my post here
Thank you all for the responses. I'll try to do it again sometime this week. At the moment, she's still on honeycomb and we used stock recovery from samsung. If I were to update it to ICS, I'd just connect her tab to my pc and open up kies, is that right?
EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. Is it possible for that 6.0.x cwm recovery by aorth to be flashed on this still-honeycomb tab?

about update to ICS, if u are at Austria yes u can do it through kies but if not, just download d firmware it from sammobile and apply it with odin, as simple as that..
Btw i rooted my P6200 using the stock HC and it was flawless.. good luck again
To everyone out here, is there any other way to root the P6200 model? The stock recovery always fails to recognize the sd card and internal memory.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Are you 100% sure it is on the external SDcard? By what method did you verify this?
Not being mean or dismissive at all - When I was running Honeycomb on my tab plus, the only easy way I was able to get things to the external card was to use Kies, or possibly mount via straight USB.
I didn't see an easy way to get to the external card via bluetooth or an onboard file manager because IIRC Honeycomb doesn't list the external card in the directory tree , the /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard both point to the internal card.
I never did try a simple linuxy type mount command, partly because I am not sure what the target would have been named, but of course to do that one would need to be rooted, first.

update from kies only available on Austria. Do manually with odin to upgrade to ICS.
i guess it's possible to apply CWM 6.0.1.0 by aorth on honeycomb.

Install Android ADB (found in the SDK package, check Google if you need help to install).
Then, go to Install from sdcard menu once so it mounts the sdcard, then type on your computer:
adb push C:\myfile.bla /sdcard/
Go back and forth in the Install zip from sdcard menu and your file will be there.
Btw install twrp recovery and you won't have that problem because it uses external and internal sd card

I used Odin to install CWM on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. When I boot into recovery and try to select the cwm-root-gtab2.zip file. Do I need to rename it to update.zip so it will take it? It is in the root of the sd.
No
You do not need to rename it just flash it

After getting the root file installed I tried SuperUser and it wouldn't work, said it needed to be updated but then it couldn't update. Did some more reading and found I had to go to playstore and re download SU. Did that and now it is rooted and working right.
first of all all the tools and steps in this post is not mine . i had tried to bring all these things in to one thread
note:first thing first ,follow the steps from A,B,.....D
A-rooting
1-download framroot
2-install framroot
3-open framroot
4-u have to select install supersu
5-then select gandalf exploit wait for few seconds a pop up message comes sucess ..........
6-do nothing the phone will reboot itself when the phone turns on u will see super su is installed and u have ur xperia m rooted
note: some time ur phone will b rooted with the first attempt but i had tried these steps 3 times to get rooted my xperia m for the first time first time . but some time u will get rooted ur phone with single attempt so dont worry
B-busybox
1-download busybox
2-install busybox and open it wait for some time and grand super su request
3-wait for some time busybox loads tweaks after loading completes there is a install button on bottom left corner click install then choose normal
4-busy box installs tweaks after compleation of installation sucess popup message comes
5-installation of busy box is sucessfull
note:some time the phone will reboot in between the busybox installation dont worry follow from the 3rd steps. this is because of the system folder read write error
C-reboot fix (sucessfull system read/write)
1-download reboot fix.rar
2-unrar it on ur pc
3-turn on usb debugging on ur phone and connect to ur pc(sony pc companion should b installed in ur pc)
4-run supersu.bat
5-follow the instructions on the pc screen
note:without sucessful busybox installation the reboot fix will not work try these reboot fix steps several times if u r not sucessful
D-swapping internal memory
1-download extsd2internalsd_xz.txt and scriptmanager
2-install scriptmanager
3-copy the .txt file to /data folder
4-open scriptmanager and select browse as root and grand supersu permissions
5-navigate to /data folder on scriptmanager and long press the extsd2internal_xz.txt and select open As... then select Script/Executable
6-then select su and boot and select save
7-suddenly the .txt file will turn to yellow colour turn off ur phone annd turn on u will see a swapped internal to external sd
note:if the reboot fix is not sucessful ur phone will constantly reboot after the 7th step then u have to uninstall the script manager to solve this
this is how i done all these thanks for all the all orginal developers who found these tweaks
you better post this guide on http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=259 section, mate

This is how a guide should be. Will try out soon enough to report problems, if any.

Ok so it finally worked after a few attempts. Do i need to uninstall all my apps and re-install them to get them on the 'external sd' as my 2gb partition is still full
Can we partition the SD card so that some of it appears as external storage and allows apps such as app2sd to move the data stored on the internal storage to move to external storage and free up space that way instead??

i open ES file explorer to check sdcard has been swaped. sdcard0=>external sd 16Gb card and sdcard1=>internal 2Gb.
i use link2sd to move some apps to my sdcard 16Gb, but an Warning occurred: "App2SD is not supported by ur device. becoz ur device has a primary external storage which is emulated form the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to ur SD card."
so i cant move my apps to my sdcard 16Gb. what happen and why?
anybody know whats wrong ???
