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?

I rooted my phone and I go into rom manger and try to download a rom and it dont load. i got one from here and put it on the external sd can it still wont load is ther something i missing. or doing wrong. please help thank you.
You say your phone is rooted, so go into Rom Manager and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery. It will be the top option. There isn't one for the Skyrocket so choose the one for the T-Mobile Galaxy S2.
Than reboot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup. Than do a factory reset and wipe cache. Than you will choose install .zip from sd card. Find the .zip on your sd card and install it.
If all goes well you should be running a custom ROM now.
You need to download the roms on xda in the development section. And then put them on your sd card
After installing cwm recovery for the tmobile gs2
Yeah, I forgot to mention that part.
so my G2X was stuck at the bootlogo and i worked my way back to restoring cwr and flashing a new rom but it was a old version of cwr and wouldnt let me go into my external sd. so i flashed a newer version from my internal memory but it doesnt stick and goes back to the old version after a reboot. im also not able to get to my external sd from the newest version of cwr when flashed. any suggestions? also im running Aokp ics with the cyanogen kernel. any help is appreciated thanks!!

CWM has to be installed using a computer. It can not be flashed using the phone.
Flash your recovery with this:
[RECOVERY][APP] 4-28:One-Click NvFlasher ClockWorkMod Touch 5.8.1.3/5.0.2.0/4.0.1.5
I run the 5.0.2.0 version, it should work just fine for letting you access your external SD.
I am a "NOOB" and I completely apologize if this has been discussed previously. My daughter has a Galaxy S3 that someone installed TWRP on it. She tried to update the phone because it gave her the status to do so. Somehow she has wiped everything except TWRP and I have no idea what to do in order to get a OS back on the device. Can someone please help and I really need the information explained to me in the simplest terms. Thanks
In twrp, if you click "restore" does it list anything on either internal or external memory? If so, just restore it and don't update.

It doesn't show anything.
Did you try reboot system?
Odin flash VRBMB1. You'll need a access to Windows for this to work. This will return you to out of the box stock rom.
Do what Slimsnoop suggested. Its for the best

It just means the SYSTEM was wiped. Just download a small ROM like CM10.1 and flash it. Reboot.
Have had this happen a lot. For a fast fix You will have to load ROM on the external SD card, then when you flash it check the directory where the ROM is stored on the external SD and flash it. Reboot. No need to flash gapps if you don't plan on keeping that ROM.
If you plan on keeping it just download the ROM you want and flash.

Ok so this just happened to me and I turned to this awesome site for help. I had switched from CWM to TWRP and installed the img file, when it rebooted into recovery it told me there was no OS installed. I flashed the above referenced file with Odin... when it rebooted though, I had everything I thought I had lost. No stock rom, it was still running cm10 with all my apps and themes, everything.
I'm confused. I'm not a total newbie to this kind of stuff, but I'm by far no expert. I'm just curious if TWRP didn't recogonize anything so it assumed there was no OS installed?
Easy way around this. Happens to me all the time
what you are gonna have to do it download a compatible rom from your computer to a micro sd card. Put the micro sd card in your phone. Go into twrp and select the rom and flash from external sd.
can somebody help me? rooted using the one click method on the forum and flashed CWM recovery, made a noob mistake and didn't put the new rom or gapps on my sd before hand and now im stuck in CWM recovery, it looks like I can sideload the roms but I don't know how to, I put my micro sd card in my laptop and put the roms on but CWM isn't mounting my sd card. thanks!
Hello Mates,
today i try to update manually to 11S OTA (30O) and now my phone dont start...i think has a bootloop.
About my Phone: its boot unlocked, rootet and run ART. I try to flash it with TWRP and it was so fast just few seconds.
I saw test: radio flashed....after restart i have bootloop. I can enter to fastboot and TWRP but dont have any rom on my
intern sd card. What can i do? Please i need some help. How can i push a rom to my sd card in this situation?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards
Coktail
What is the route that you want to take?
Do you want to go back to stock ROM? custom ROM?
Do note that you will lose your apps/data/etc that was on the phone previously. Your sd card will remain untouched.

You have the file on your computer? Is it fastboot or flashable zip version
You would adb sideload the zip if its a flashable zip
