Hi guys
Please assist, i have unlocked, installed recovery.
My phone was not rooted, but apparently the ROM i installed wouldve done that automatically.
When rebooted, my device, booted directly to recovery?
I can access Fastoot protocol, access recovery fine, but it does not boot to the ROM?
When i tried to choose install from internal zip, it says "no files found" which is strange?
Please help me, device off, not sure what to do?
your rom zip should be on external sd card, not internal, internal sd card is what you should be flashing the rom too in recovery not from.

Thank you, i managed to get it sorted.
It seems like my download was corrupted or something (The actual ROM File)
Not correct, with a Motorola XOOM i flash the ROM with the zip file on the internal memory (folder DCIM) and work perfect like from a external sd card.

Are you using the rogue recovery?

After booting into CWM recovery, I tried to flash a rom but it was deleted off of my externel SD drive (Because I didn't know format /system includes it). Anyway, what's weird is that I was still able to boot to recovery because my CWM files were on the Externel SD card along with my backups. I confirmed this by trying to boot into CWM Recovery after taking out the Ext. SD card; did not work. Then I put my SD card into my computer via an SD card adapter and it said my Externel SD card had 7,789MB/7,789 MB free. Can someone explain this phenomenon? Thank you!~
P.S. The Rom is good to go now, I'm just curious as to where the hell my CWM files went.

How did you flash it? What were the steps you made?
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
I used the NVflash volume down and power. I formated and wiped everything possible. When I took the Ext. SD card out and put the EB froyo rom on it via my computer. Tried to boot into recovery to no avail; phone was bricked. put the ext sd card back in, was able to boot into recovery with cwm and the EB rom was there and so I installed it.
Which recovery image did you originally flash and what method did you use to flash it?
the one everyone's been telling me to. oneclickrecovery or something nvflash cwm i dunno. the image was after I rooted and after I removed Nova. The next time I flashed an image was after flashing EBFroyo.

I think their point is that you probably flashed CWM to your external card, which is an option in the flasher.

Well, if your SD card is in fact mounted physically...
If you plug the phone into your computer, does it recognize the phone as a removable disk?
I assume that you've tried removing and then it re-inserting it?
What size/class/condition is the SD card?
sounds like you have your phone plugged into your computer and on disk mode. set it to charge only before trying to use rom manager, or the better option would be to just reboot to recovery, and install zip from sd (point it to the rom.zip file on your sdcard and flash that way)
Hey guys!
Is there any recovery tool like ClockWork recovery, that allows "install zip from external SD"?
Thanks in advance!
External SD? How would that work? Where would you put the sd?

"External" means not internal. Like memory card, the one you put to get extra memory on the phone.

But all Recovery tools work with sd card. Unless I'm misunderstanding something?
They don't instal recovery onto the sd card, but they can read and flash zip files from the sd card.

For some reason phone's original SD Card is not accessible... Tried copying the zip ROM from Mem Card to phone using ES Ecplorer, it failed...
Tried booting CM7 with ROM manager, it comes up with the following error:
"SD Card marker not found...
Error verfying extendedcommand
etc
"
Maybe you can help?
Sounds like your SD card may be corrupt in some way. I've seen that before. I suggest you copy everything off your sd card then format it, then copy everything back and try again

Formating doesn't work... It does not delete all the files...
Hi, I have clockwork mod 4.0.0.4 and I was trying to flash a rom from it. I went to install zip from SD card and then it brought me to the SD card directory, but for some reason my internal memory is renamed to SD card and my external SD card is named external 1, so instead of bringing me to the directory with all of the files that are on the sd card it brings me to the directory with all of the internal memory files. How to I flash a rom if I can't get to the right directory from clockwork mod?
Hi,
With CWM, it will only allow you to flash from your Internal SDcard only. Option 1, move your files that you would like to flash - to the Internal SDcard Directory, or If you would like the option to flash from either the External or Internal you can use the CWM Rogue Recovery.

Thanks. Its weird because I thought I flashed zips from the external SD card before. I thought that you should put all of the fies that you are going to flash on the external SD card just in case something happens to the internal memory. Or if you do a factory data reset then it will get erased and you won't have the file to flash.

LOL, it is good practice to copy the files to your external (if you have the space). I keep a copy of my needed .zips in a folder on my PC. Rooted - If you do a Factory Data Reset from CWM, all of your files will remain in tact.
As Always If This Was Helpful - Hit The Thanks!

Actually, it depends on the version you have installed. Solarnz' R4c v 3.2.0.0 custom recovery flashes from the external sdcard. Version 4.0.0.4 from Rom Manager only flashes from the internal "sdcard " and rogue recovery can flash from either.

True, there are other options; however he and I were referring to his current version 4.0.0.4.
and wanting the ability to flash from both the External and Internal
SDcards.
Hi
I wanted to install ROM from SD Card, but it doesn't show in the recovery. What could be the reason?

Make sure that you have the recovery for the correct phone and that sd card is formatted with ext/2/3/4 or fat32
