thanks for the help but even the stock rom is deleted even if i try to access to sd card through twrp rcovery it says :can't mound sd card how can i put a zip file on my sd card that can't be read by phone ?? please help
Well if it can't mount the sdcard theres a simple solution (sorry, can't find the thread anymore with the tutorial)
Basically use something like Hasoons All in One Tool, go into fastboot and flash the stock revovery.
Then go back to the bootloader and first clear the storage, then do a factory reset (out of the bootloader menu)
Then you can flash your other recovery again and it should be able to read the sdcard.
Can you enter the bootloader? If you can, you could run a stock ruu.
I finally got my SD card to mount, now how do I put a ROM on the SD card and flash it?

sorry guys but i made an "uh oh" and need help please! i had Virtuous Unity 1.31.0 & was attempting to flash the beta version. i had blue magic theme on my rom as well. Here are the exact steps i took: downloaded rom, put phone in clockwork recovery, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, wiped data, mounted system, flashed the zip & rebooted. Now i'm looped in the "blue magic" boot animation. what'd i do wrong & can it be fixed. i backed everything up too. i can get it into HBOOT screen by pressing power & down on volume key but am not able to scroll to any of the options. after a cple seconds it automatically selects HBOOT & asks if i want to install update from sd? i assume it's the gingrbread update but i've selected "no" every time so i could talk to someone first. right noe i'm on a publis cpu & it won't allow me to access the phone internals. i need admin passcode. i haven't messed much with playing with my phone thru a cpu so i'm not quite sure i'm even doing it right. sorry for my cpu lack of knowledge but i've adapted to android pretty well. Help please & thank u in advance
problem is that you have a PD98IMG.zip file on your sdcard....
pull the sdcard, boot into HBOOT, select recovery, then pop in the sdcard when you get to recovery

Yup. If you happen to have a PD98IMG.zip on your SD, bootloader will try to flash it everytime and you won't be able to access Recovery. Either pull the SD card until after you've selected Recovery like pirateghost suggested, or find a card reader/other device to read your card to delete PD98IMG.zip
Ok sweet. That got me back to clockwork, slipped the card back in once in recovery, clicked reboot and it still looped. It did say I had that file so I'm guessing I have to find a card reader and delete the file maually now or did I do something wrong?
Thanks so much for ur reply and it looks like I'm going to have to find a card reader and do it manually cuz it still loops. Thank u so much!
Just go in recovery rewipe and flash the beta rom only no themes yet let it reboot it should load right up I think the theme messed you up the bata rom is based I'm 2.3.4 so 2.3.3 themes wont work
sent from my unity loaded inspire 4G
Ok, did all that but Noticed before I rebooted that at the bottom where it shows the processes it's going thru, it says installation aborted. Says E:Can't open/Sd card/ download etc...2.33.0 BETA.zip....(bad). Do I still reboot or attempt to flash again?
Try going into mounts option in recovery and mount the external sd card.
Not giving option to mount. Only unmount so I guess I unmount and try to remount?
Try that and see if it works.
Aborted again. I'm getting worried friend
Still aborted. I'm getting worried friend
Don't worry. It will work out fine. Let me check something and I will reply momentarily.
Thank u so much for helping. I'm wishing I could pay u at this point
Don't worry. Turn off phone. Check to make sure sd card is properly inserted. Power phone back up and boot into recovery. Select install zip and see if you are able to view your files.
Well I can go to install the zip but still aborts
Try going to backup and restore and select restore. Select the backup you said you made and try restoring to your backup. You may have a bad download of the beta rom. Let me know if you can restore. Wipe first.
What happens If I scroll down to that PD98IMG.zip u were talkin bout. I see it on the zip file list...
You don't want to use that. That type of file can only be used in Hboot. It seems like you can see what is on your sd card so it is mounted. The rom file you were trying to flash may be corrupted. Unless you can get another rom on your sd card I would say restore to your backup until you can get another rom on your card and also delete that PD98IMG file.
if it says corrupted that means that your ROM file is corrupted or didnt fully downloaded.
1.Turn Off Phone
2.Take out SD Card
3.Vol+Power to Hboot
4.You will be at recovery mode.
5.Insert Sd Card back in
6.go to Mount
7.Mount your SD CARD(make sure USB is plugged in the computer)
8.Wait a little, your computer will have pop-up, if not go to My computer and click on your Sd Card.
9.Drag in a new fully downloaded rom into it.
10.Unmount the Sd Card
11.Happy Flashing!
sorry if this does not work, tried my best to help. This worked on me, so It should work for you as well.
another method is, if you got a Card Reader(micro chip goes in side a big chip) then put your ROM in their and delete the PD19 blah file, and skip steps 6 to 10
I forgot to delete the PG58IMG.zip & my device when entering recovery wants to update that zip file & I can't choose the recovery option. My device will not go past the HTC screen. I have ADB installed, how can I get into recovery again & re-flash a rom? I'm a newbie so please forgive me if this is already posted somewhere, I did search but I'm freaking out a little about the current state of my phone! Thanks for your help!
if you can still use the phone i'd go in and use the phone in usb storage mode and delete the file from the root directory
I can't get past the white HTC screen. I can get into recovery but it tries to install the PG58IMG.zip before I can key down to the recovery option.

Pretty simple, remove your memory card and boot your phone.
Or use a card reader to remove the file.
Cheers.
or do what he said lol
I just realized that but when trying to to read the card on my PC it ask to format? Won't that delete the files I need? I can get into recovery when taking the SD Card out but it needs the files to flash. Any help? Should I do a data/factory reset?

Hi,
No need to format.
Just delete the PG58IMG.zip.
I will not show me the files on the SD Card! It's asking me to format to use?
*FIXED* Thanks for all your help & not being a jerk about it!
remove sd card and try mounting it to another phone.
it's what i did...
I saw in multiple threads saying to take out the sd card and go to restore and put it back in then delete the PG58IMG file but I did that and my phone is still in a boot loop does anybody know how to fix this ?

Install a ROM based on the new firmware, the old one won't boot unless you reflash old firmware.
I recommend reflashing the old firmware getting messages, contacts, etc onto your memory card.
Then flash 3.32 firmware. Then format all partitions except SD Card from recovery. Then install your ROM.
Im sorry im brand new to all of this I just rooted my phone fine and then I tried doing something and it messed up can you give a step by step on what to do and with details it would be really helpful. Thanks !
To install a new rom based on the 3.32 firmware you download the rom to your computer plug in your device after It's downloaded, your device needs to be debugging on in settings, you will then check run as disk drive instead of charge option, then click on file sharing , go to downloads, share with disk drive e the removable disk drive which is your device.this will copy the rom to the root of your sd card. Unplug. Then go into recovery, wipe data factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvick cash, stay in recovery when finished, then install zip from sd card, stay in recovery, reboot. Then you have installed your rom. You want to make sure the firmware matches the rom. Ics Roms or 4.0.3, are 3.32 firmware gb Roms are different firmware. Hope this helps. You have 3.32 firmware so use a Ics rom. (4.0.3). This is how I flash mine. Good luck and hope I helped.

Steps 1 (method 2) & 4 from here.
The file required for 4: http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/66813266/file.html
Now, once done, pull out the battery from the phone. Remove the SD Card. Reinsert the battery.
Boot to bootloader by holding Volume down & Power button.
Next, select Recovery option. It will take some time to boot without the SD Card.
You will then see a menu. Don't switch off the phone but just insert the SD Card.
Select mounts|storage > mount /sdcard
Go back to the previous menu.
Select Toggle USB Storage.
Your SD Card can now be accessed from the computer. Delete the PG58IMG.zip from SD Card
Copy the ROM of your choice & put it on the SD Card.
Once done, select Disconnect (on the phone)
Select wipe|format >Format all partitions except SD Card.
Once done, go back.
Select Install zip from SD Card. Select your ROM zip file & install.
Once done, reboot.

Did you bother to read the guide?
Connect USB in bootloader (fastboot USB), fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, fastboot reboot-bootloader
I'm not going to answer any more questions.
Whatever you need has already been linked to you.
Thank you so much, do you have any tips on what I should do next ?
Hi I'm a little bit confused and lost between stock recovery, cwm, rom manager and my new SD card.
I browsed 100s of threads and watch alot of good and some not so good videos but 'im still not sure what my best next moves are and why some things dont work.
I have a

Build JZO54K.I9300XXEMC2
I wanted to use apps like Titanium BackUpPro and Avast so I rooted my phone flashing CWM v3.55 via Odin and have been using it with out any problems for a while.
Then I decided that I would like to flash a custom rom like cm and I downloaded Rom Manager thinking it to be the right tool... ?
I let Rom Manager flash the latest version of CWM recovery 6.0.4.6 ...
but when I look on the apps on my phone I find CWM v3.55-Chainfire ? and
if I try to update I get directed to:

When booting in rcovery mode my phone enters the android system recovery e3 and I get an Error message:
E:faild to mount /data (invalid agrument)
What exactly does this mean ???
Should I try flashing CWM 6 non toutch via Odin or flash back stock ROM?
I thought I would try backing up to an ext SD card so I orderd a SanDisc mircosd 64GB card but the problem still remains.
I still cant back up my ROM using ROM Manager or CWM
Why ? What happend?
I tried formating the SD card with ROM Magager but SD card fails to load. I tried formating with gparted fat32. Still wont load...
The ext SD card shows up in the file exlporer on my phone just fine but
I can't seem to be able to get Rom Manager to recognize it and CWM recovery isn't working.
So instead of backin up my exsiting ROM to the SD card maybe it would be a better idea to install CWM and CM to the SD card
and keep my ROM on the internal SD as it is???
I tried creating a bootable ext sd card with CWM and CM like here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_acclaim
but when it comes to booting the phone in recovery mode I still get the E:faild to mount /data (invalid agrument) message....?
How do I boot from ext sd card?
Whats my next best move?
I have a working rooted ROM on my local SD card with all my apps backed up in clowd. But my recovery mode issue remains to be resolved.
and I have a 64GB ext SD card with CWM and CM on it but I can't install with Rom Manager? because SD card fails to load.
Thanks for trying to follow so far!!!!

First option:
1- Download Philz recovery from: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5
and flash it with odin 3.07or newer
2- Downlad SuperSu root from: http://vk.com/doc167892454_171297436?hash=877f29ccdb4e944a70&dl=28aabb49a7217e1962, copy to your device, go to recovery mode and do 'install zip from...'
Second option:
1- Download CF-Auto Root from http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip, extract and flash it with odin (that should enable root permissions in your device).
2- Download CWM Manager from PlayStore and do a flash, or better- flash the Philz recovery as above (you don't neet the root file)
Follow the Odin packages instructions...?

Easy way to flash CWM or Touch wiz is to download EZ-Recovery from the play store, open the app scroll to recovery, click recovery and choose which one you want and click flash. Done. I personally like TW.

I am a complete newbie to rooting. I followed the kingoroot guidelines and rooted my Idea Aurus 3 phone. Root was success. The next step I did was downloading custom recovery and cyanogenmod ROM from here to my memory card
I flashed the custom recovery with flashify. The next step I did was wiping all data from the device by entering in to recovery mode (including cache and everything)
I was hoping I could simply install zip from sd card. But when i click on this option, I cannot find my sd card nor zip file (I checked most folders including emmc, etc, sd-ext and couldn't find SD card. The custom recovery name is Phylz touch 6
Now basically I have a phone without OS and all I can do is accessing custom recovery. I don't have a back up too
I can also see an error log "Cannot mount custom path"
I formatted the memory card to exFAT from exFAT 32 hoping that would work, it didn't help as well.
Also tried to connect phone to pc using USB (thinking I can move rom to system memory), but wouldn't detect phone memory
Now, is there any way to get this fixed? Any help would be awesome
Thanks!!!
