Hi I followed the steps installed bigpart, but after wipe reboot /sdcard is empty. I am stuck here in recovery as I cannot select any rom to install. When in file browser it shows "Storage: Internal Storage (28303 MB). Any help will be great!
Probably a bit late for OP, but you have to use your Booter's sideload feature to install the rom from a PC. I personally had lots of fun figuring it all out for myself after the guides gave me a bricked Xoom, so enjoy!

I just finished installing Maximus rom up to the part where I have to reflash the rom after firmware update. When I'm booted in android, I can copy the rom to my sdcard (I used "download" folder). However, when I get into recovery and click install, the only folder available on sdcard was "twrp". When I mounted the storage from twrp, Windows ask me to reformat my sdcard, but says only 50 megabytes is available. Can someone help me out please?
Side mount in twrp, copy ur stuff if you can and then format sdcard. and do a clean flash afterwards.Try that.

Something went wrong when flashing firmware. Make sure the hboot is 2.16 and make sure you have flash modified twrp from maximushd.

Which version of recovery are you using? Tried to switch to last version?
Okay, i did it now without sideload:
push rom to /data/media
somehow the partition for /data/media received 12gb
with twrp you can flash the rom from there, after the rom is installed you will have acces to the 12gb again when conecting the phone via USB cable
I am not new to ROM's I have dabbled here and there with my phones and the xoom. I followed the directions to a t for the Omni 4.4.2. I did the first part for putting bigPart TWRP on my xoom. I have the recovery on there and I can find my SD card with the rom and other files on there needed but it will not load after I install everything. The internal storage still shows at 0. I get the Omni bootloader and then a message from google pops up saying encryption unsuccessful and I need to perform a factory reset. When I try that it just brings me back to recovery. I don't know what I did wrong but the only thing that works is recovery. It's like nothing at all is on the internal storage of the xoom. I have tried to copy the files from my sd card over to internal and install, same thing. When I go back to check the files I copied to internal they are gone. The files I have on the sd card are there but it won't load the files on the internal storage to set up android on there. I can't even go back to an old restore cause I was using cwm recovery and the those restore files aren't recognized. I'm at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't even get my computer to see so I can push the files over to it and I am pretty rusty with ADB to try and set that up.
I just tried to push the original twrp 2630 through adb and it flashed, I tried to reboot into recovery and it just staid at the twrp screen. Ughhh I'm getting so frustrated cause I had the xoom working perfectly on JB before I started messing around. Any help would be great, Even getting me back to stock and I can take it from there.

Hi all, How do I go about backing up my Moto G stock ROM.
I have CWM 6.0.4.7 installed and when I select backup to sd card I get the message can't mount backup path.
I want to install Gravity Box and in the guide it says "1) Backup your current ROM in custom recovery. I am serious. Don't skip this step,"
Thanks For looking
did you rebooted after unlocking the bootloader and flashing the recovery? the sdcard needs to be formated after a reset and this will be done once the phone boots. you will be asked if you want to root and maybe if you want to disable recovery flash. on the first one you can click no and root after you made the backup or just click yes and on the second question you need to click no
Damn I can't remember. I had a lot of trouble for some reason installing SU. I cant remember the exact steps but I know it took me about 3 Hrs to root and install cwm.
After each re boot it was like I never modded anything. Finally got it working but not su

In CWM go to Mounts and Storage and choose format /data and /data/media
That will wipe everything on /sdcard but the partition will start mounting!
It would be help in providing a better solution if you attach a pic or exact error text!

Okay thanks,will give it a go. It's a shame though as other than a few things got all my apps, display and widgets the way I want them.
I'm stuck in an install. I wiped the system, so it doesn't boot. I can only get to the bootloader and recovery mode (currently TWRP). I lost the zip files off the /sdcard, so I'm trying to sideload file with adb.
Problem is that the device won't show up in adb. It was working earlier as I set developer options/USB debugging, blah, blah, blah, but now in TWRP, it errors out. Looking at device manager, I have a "Other devices - AOSP on Shamu" with a driver error. I installed the google nexus drivers already, but I can't seem to correct this problem.
Any suggestions welcome.
I was following the instructions here:
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_shamu
1. copied my zips to the /sdcard/
2. Select Wipe and then Factory Reset.
3. Select Install (if you're running Cyanogen recovery this is Apply Update).
Navigate to /sdcard and select the CyanogenMod .zip package.
Follow the on-screen notices to install the package.
Whoops! The wide seems to have wiped the zip files, so I have nothing to install.
Question: Is 'adb sideload' my only option? It's and internal sd, so I think I'm stuck with ADB.
Sigh. Evil wipe.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
You should be able to mount your internal sd card using TWRP. After that, your PC should recognize your phone as a mass storage device. Then you should be able to copy the zips onto your sd card and flash them.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
Hello
First of all, I'd like to excuse myself because of my lack of knowledge in all that android stuff and also in english. I got my phone rooted just by following tutorials on internet.
I have a Huawei Ascend Mate 7 MT7-L09. Probalby half a year ago, I have unlocked bootloader and installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1 and got it rooted.
Not long ago, Huawei released a new version of the EMUI, wich I guess is the Android 6.0 marshmallow thing (logically, I was using the previous version). After downloading, I tried to install it but it would reboot to the CWM everytime I was trying. And then, after booting, the phone would tell me the update failed. It's normal, I know. I needed to install it manualy and etc
BUT instead, by pure ''I don't give a crap what may happend'', I did some big crap.
First of all, in the phone's settings, I did a factory reset. I made a backup of all my files and data before (not in the CWM, but in the phone's tools). After the reset, the phone booted in an old-fashioned android version.There wasn't any keys to go home/back on the bottom of the screen. Because of this, the phone was almost unusable because I had to reboot the phone to leave an app and select another.
I raged and booted to the CWM by pressing the + button and the lock phone button.
I went to Mounts and Storage Menu and did all of this
format /boot
format /system
format /cache
format /data
format /storage/sdcard1
format /data and/data/media (/sdcard)
I did the wipe data/factory reset
I also went to Backup and Restore
I made the
delete from /sdcard
delete from /storage/sdcard1
free unused backup data
choose default backup format
I went in Advenced Menu aswell
I chose
wipe dalvik cache
I think that's it. No wonder why it doesn't work well now LOL...
Later on, I thought I may try to fix it. After reading some stuff, I downloaded a package from the official Huawei website, I think it was with the 5.5.3 EMUI or some sort of. After mounting USB storage to my pc, I put the zip file, wich was not really a zip file because it had a .tar format, it would show me by going to the install zip: Impossible to read format lol. Then I found a package of a rom wich was zip. After putting on the phones storage this zip it would start to install and show installing update and then show me: Installation aborted. Then i gave up and decided to ask some help from pros.
So..... What should I do?
I know my explications are weird, but this is the only way I can describe my problem.
Thank you for reading this long story, and even a bigger one if you help me.
hi,
i don't know cwm recovery.
I suggest you install TWRP recovery , then flash the rom image found here.
(i have installed B571 by this way)

regards
tar is another compression format like rar and zip.
If you have the software installed to use terminal commands (ADB) to connect to your phone when it is in so called 'recovery'or 'fastboot' mode you should flash the TWRP recovery image for Mate 7 posted somewhere on the forum for better compatibility. It is basically similar as CWM (clockworkmod) but newer.
In another post here there is a summary of firmwares and in that list is also the 'Twrp Backup' of a fresh installation. That should be downloaded, unpacked and placed in the folder where other/previous backups are stored. To find out where that it is you can create a backup yourself in recovery but only select the 'boot' so the backup is done immediately (and useless) and you can browse your phone to see where to put the downloaded recovery backup.
Next is restoring that backup within recovery.
Personally I would also do a factory reset after that but you should be ready to go after that.
