Arc s. Bootloader unlocked and I have root.
Wanted to install "Andriod MooDeD ICS 80.3 IFT" and in the guide it said to transfer the file to the internal sd card.
How?
if you have not flashed a custom ROM yet then you should be able to turn the phone on and plug it in to your computer. then when your computer asks make sure you put it as a storage device, granted your running windows. then you just place the files you want to flash on the ROOT of the sd card. then boot to recovery, do your wipes, then a nandroid backup, then flash the new ROM

Hi everyone. I got into a situation that I almost gave up. I was trying to flash my Xperia S ISC to JB 4.2.2, I rooted the device successfully with fastboot, but I forgot the most important thing to copy the ROM to the sdcard and then wiped all data. Now I can get into boot loader, but since I do not have any ROM.zip copied on sdcard I can not do anything. I tried to connect the phone to the PC and it recognizes the phone but I cannot transfer any file to sdcard. I tried adb push but getting message "denied permission". I tried to mount the usb from the bootloader, but had no result. What could you guys suggest to do. Am I done with my phone.
Thank you in advance.
hmmm

get a sd card reader...put your card in the reader...copy the zip file...n flash...have a good day ahead
Thank you for the reply. the sdcard is internal I cannot remove it, so the only way to connect the phones internal memory is the usb cable.
How about switch off device. Take off sdcard. Put it into card reader. Copy rom into sd. Put sd card back into device and power on ?
Hi, like I said the xperia s sd card is internal ther is no way to take it out from the phone. The only way to connect to the phone is the usb cable.
Hi all, i played around with my Moto G a while back, got the bootloader unlocked, put a new ROM on. Did a backup which i wanted to delete but couldnt... everytime i did a fresh install it was still there eating my memory so i wiped everything off my phone using TWRP (internal the lot!) now ive got nothing on my phone, no operating system nothing.
anybody got a tutorial to get it back up and running again? or at least some ideas on how to dispose of it haha.
thanks in advance.
*EDIT*
This post can be deleted now thanks! I have resolved this matter very easily with a very imaginative way that i never thought of. i couldnt reinstall another rom as my computer wouldnt reconise my phone in ADB. but using this method below i was able to very easily...

Alternate Method : Noob Friendly.
First of all backup your sd card (i.e data/media)
Flash Philz Touch 6.26.6 Recovery
Hope you have OTG cable and a pendrive.
Copy the rom which you want to install on pendrive. Attach pendrive through OTG.
(backup your current rom on usbdisk. For this goto Backup and Storage. Find option backup on storage/usbdisk )
Now, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset. It will ask Wipe to install new rom,tap on it. Say Yes.
After that goto Mounts and Storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). Say Yes.
Done.
Now flash your favorite custom rom.
Select the option install from sdcard. Then select usbdisk. Select your custom rom and install it

so hats off to "amit.lohar"
For future:
If delete info of internal storage, you can recover it with DiskDigger. Root required.

Hey all so I'm running 4.4.2 deodexed rooted with xposed, etc, etc. I went from rooted 4.1.2 to kitkat last month buy route of flashing deodexed 4.4 with partition flash and was able to keep root. Using Philz recovery ive always installed "clean to install new rom" but looking at the files and apps, etc now i have to much junk in internal memory/root of the sd card on my phone. I have a partitioned sd card. And basically ive flashed from backups. Tested and ran scripts, deleted scripts. Ive done alot so i need to delete the unused junk off my phone but not sure what to delete or what steps to use in Philz recovery. My main worry is loosing my supersu/root and messing up the partitioned sdcard. If i loose root on my phone the process of re rooting while on kitkat is extreme involving booting pc from a usb drive or cd and running virtual machine, etc etc. So i cant loose that. I do have backups on pc and 1 back up of my current rom on external sd card. I have Philz Recovery and link2sd.
Thanks
Josh
Hello,
I was going to flash CM 12.1 into my Xperia L, but stupidly I forgot to copy the ROM into internal storage, it was on SD card, so I believe Cyno Recovery could not detect the necessary system files to flash from SD. Is there any way to move ROM (i.e. make the pc recognize &read the storage partitions) into internal storage without flashing the stock rom?
Also, if I would flash the stock from from SD, will the same problem happen again? So am I stuck?
Thanks in advance.

Flash TWRP/Philz touch and boot into it, mount your device and the PC will detect it, also, It shouldn't be a problem if its in the Ext SD card. You can get Philz Touch by flashing Thunderzap through fastboot

As @priyank.g mentioned, you can flash any boot image having a custom recovery. Pretty much all custom recoveries at this point support flashing from sdcard. If you can boot into any recovery at all, it should allow you to adb push it to your device. Just get an old thunderzap zip, extract the boot image and flash it through fastboot. Get into recovery using the volume keys and flash your rom.
Thank you both,
I have also tried Philz and TWRP, luckily TWRP had somewhat forced the flash into the phone after some tries while Philz and CWM had insisted on fail.
I can declare case is officially closed. :good:
I have an Alcatel One Touch idol 3_50560 AT&T
I do not have access to a desktop computer is there any roms out there that will do everything for you at once i.e. Removing bootloader, Root phone, then installing TWRP . Is it even possible? I uploaded and put the whole system on my tab4, it had no OS when i got it. Just wondering if spmethings out there
It's not possible. You need to install twrp by PC, then you can do everything what you want via twrp.
Is it possible i can download the file to my tablet and sdcard and transfer to my PC when i get to work?
Yes, and you only need to install twrp via PC. Everything another you can just flash by twrp from sdcard (better option than internal storage)
