Can't see .zip in CWM recovery

I looked for an answer before posting but couldn't find it and hoping someone can help out. I rooted my rogers skyrocket and installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I am trying to install a new ROM but when I boot in recovery I cannot see the .zip file on the SD Card but I can see it in file manager. Any ideas or solutions?

Is the zip on the external or internal SD?

If on internal u have to select install from internal

Its on the external card.

Is it on the root of external sdcard? Excuse me for asking the obvious question but a lot of times its something silly that's been overlooked.

Yes, its on the root of the external SD card but I can only see the folders and no other files.

Look at the file format. Make sure its .zip and not .zip.zip. sometimes copying files from your computer to your phone will do this.

Its .zip and not .zip.zip but I am only seeing it in the file manager or on the computer when the phone is connected but in CWM all I see is the folders of the SD card and no other file.

This is really starting to piss me off, I downloaded about 5 different roms and none of them is showing on the SD card in CWM recovery in order to install. Is there any other way to install the ROM or anything I could do to see the files in CWM? I am sure the .zip file is on the SD card and I can see it when i file manager but once I go into CWM to install I cant see it. If anyone had this problem and has a way to fix it please let me know. Thank you.

I think I found a way to do it and its through Rom manager, there is an option to install ROM from SD card I clicked it and now i think its installing. Hope it works. I'll post my results in case someone has the same problem.

Solved the problem. I can only flash new ROM from ROM manager.

Try flashing cwm again or flash touch cwm.

[Q] CWM installed but can't select the root zip file

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

Ok, I redownloaded the file but it still won't load. Maybe its because I have 4.04 OS on mine?

Thanks, put a micrso sd card in it with the root zip file. Got it installed and now it says the tablet isn't rooted. Seemed like the install when fine with no errors mentioned.

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.

using that ofc still same problem xD
maybe I'll go back to stock, thnx anyway :/

I has this problem and my solution was to pull the sdcard until phone is booting. After it shows the home screen insert your sdcard and you are done!
Sent from my GT-S7500 or laptop or PC or anything else(my toaster is bricked from an wrong kernel or custom rom so i need to buy a new one )

Can be any one of these reasons:
-when restoring setcpu using apps like titanium backup, don't restore data!
-uninstall Pimp My ROM
-Don't restore any apps with data using Titanium backup or such apps!
-If these don't work, try wiping dalvik cache in recovery n then reboot!

You should try formatting the SDcard from pc.
While formatting choose file system as FAT32 or select the default option.

thnx
well tried all u guys said at once and amazingly it works now xD
should say also I don't use any of backup appss nor task managers just greenify
anyway it works fine thnx a lot all <3:good:

If no solution is working then the problem is the sdcard itself or a hardware problem from phone. Go to Samsung Centre and they will repair it if you are on stock rom and unrooted and you have a valid warranty card.

Try reformatting your Sdcard and use a SD card adapter to access it on the PC.If your SD card can't be read on the PC,means your SD card might be dead

[Resolved] (guide xperia m) rooting , reboot fix, and swapping internal memory

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

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 also follow all steps A-D and attempt many times, at last it should be fully successed.run sciptmanager also work.
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 ???
Plz help me out that problem. thx....
