Hi All.
I'm new to this and trying to install my first rom (aiming for cynagenmod 7- it has the language support i need, or so they say)
I rooted my phone and followed a yourtube video titled "How To Install CyanogenMod 7 Nightly on T-Mobile G2x after Nandroid Backup"
When i get to the part where i need to install zip from sd card, i can't find the file. I went back and copied the zip file into a few different folders, and although i can locate the folders, it tells me that the file cannot be found.
How do i get around this? Your help is much appreciated.

How did you download it? Through rom manager or from the phones xda app, browser? Look in folders with xda or rom manager?? Next time just copy and paste it to the root of the sdcard, not in a folder.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Downloaded it on a computer and then copied it to sd card
and you can't find where you put it? did you place it in a certain folder already created... you can plug your phone in to pc then enter recovery mode, go to storage and mounts at the bottom select mount usb then copy the zip to your sdcard in no folders.
When i try to do that t tells me unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory).
From recovery mode there are some folders i can't see when i browse the folders on the computer when the phone is booted up normally - and vice versa. Is this an indicaiton of a problem?
Silly question: do you actually have an SD card inserted in your phone? If so, what did you use to format it?
i do have an sd, and i actually didn't format it. should i format? if so, what is the best way?
Your help is much appreciated

Did you try, while in recovery, taking the back off your phone, pop out the sd card, wait 1 second, then pop it back in?
Stupid question, but it's a mistake some beginners make, but did you unzip it by any chance? That could be a reason CWM isn't seeing it. Once you DL the ROM you need to leave it untouched. Then place on SD.
After that in CWM go to choose zip from sd.
And you attained CWM via NVFlash correct?

no, didn't unzip, left it as cm_p999_full-201.zip
and yes, did get the CWM via NVFlash
Maybe you accidentally copied it to internal memory instead of the sdcard. You can check in cwm under internal sdcard I believe is what it is called.
When you connect the phone through USB it mounts both internal and the sdcard.

My file explorer sees it in both the root and the folder I created in the root - both can't be seen in recovery mode.
Should i list the directories i see in both views?
In cwm are you selecting install zip from sdcard or install update from sdcard

I ask it to install zip from sd and not update

you may have put it on the "internal sd card" instead of external sd card, however this is not an issue if you flash CWM 5.0.2.0 or later, it has an option to install zip from internal sd and external. i renamed my external sd card to avoid future confusion (otherwise i see two "removable disks" when i plug my phone into my computer)
Check your file names on your SD card. Check what you see listed in Recovery. If you see differing file names, then you're accessing the wrong memory.
I'm going to assume you tried booting with the physical buttons. Try booting with CWM which should give you a blue menu.
i did try to boot both ways and both times i did not find it... for the millionth time i took the sd card out and put it back in and rebooted using cwm, and funny enough, it found the direcotry... and yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, cynagenmod7 is my new rom
thanks for all your help, support and commiseration... really, much appreciated. i do ve a few more issues that i have to research now... again, external sd not found though... will probably solicit more help
again, thanks

Don't unzip the file. When you flash anything via clockwork, it flashes using .zip files.
Hello,
I'm currently trying to root my A510 Tablet with 4.1 Jelly Bean. I tried this Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35907925&postcount=192
I copied the remove_recovery_from_rom.zip in the internal storage. Unlocked the bootloader and installed recovery_nothrills.img.
Now I'm on step 6 trying to install the remove_recovery_from_rom.zip. But if I go to "apply update from external storage" I only see "../". I think the problem is that I runned an full wipe before flashing the zip. And I think there is no way to get the zip from the external sd card?
What can I do now? Hope you understand me and have help.
Greetings from Germany
EDIT: Problem solved, Could boot the stock JB 4.1 and copied the file to the internal sd card. Now I have root access and can look for a nice ROM
Hello, i'm having a problem here. I have a Galaxy S5 and i am using XtroLite Lollipop Rom for quite some time now. Yesterday i decided to flash the aroma mod of it's rom so i could add the option fo multiple windows. I had done it before with the same aroma mod and it worked flawessly so i flashed and it did work, but then i noticed some errors and when i looked the explorer both of my storages (internal and external) are there but show no files inside and apparently give no access permissions, the only thing i have permission to access is the root folder. When i go to philz touch recovery i can check the files on both storages and they are there its most likely they are just not accessible. Tried to plug to a pc while on recovery but no deal. I searched google a lot but didn't find anything related, i also can use most of the apps that were installed on the phone but can't install any newer, cause of internal storage being inaccessible, and im without a terminal installed atm.
I kindly ask for some help, thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have accidentally wiped the internal storage on my HTC One S and now when i boot phone TWRP shows no OS installed.
My phone does not has SD card. It uses internal storage so i don't know how to copy the files and install the ROM.
I tried fastboot and adb devices commands but it returns empty. I am a newbie in device rooting so i am not sure where to go from there. I appreciate your help in this matter
Can you please assist me in this matter.
Thanks

Hi,
You can install any custom recovery considering your fastboot still works.
And then just use adb sideload to transfer zip.
For further questions, you can ask here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/help
Good luck.
last night i just rooted my device because i want to change the emoji.ttf file. The .ttf file that i just downloaded are so big, so the storage of the root explorer cant store that. so i DELETED some files in the root directory that leads me to the bigger problem. I cant access the internal storage!! I've read the solution about it but most of it need the twrp recovery. i didnt install that on my phone. Now its too late to install because the chrome cant access my storage. pls help meeee.
i am using samsung galaxy alpha
p/s pardon my grammar
bro, just backup all ur phone contents, then after you format your phone , go to settings and just do factory reset, if the problem is solve then ok, either you should flash your phone with custom rom of same version which android version you are using, you will get your internal storage back. reply pls
