I have an old recovery image on my SD from my old phone but where is the stock recovery image located on internal?
The method I'm using to find it is plugging into computer, searching for LG G3 then my folder of media such as alarms, titanium and random folders but can't find my stock recovery img.

Your recovery image file wouldn't be there... You'd need root.

I am rooted. I just used flashify to push twrp for my software version d850 and I'm still getting a secure boot error -_- Remove battery and the phone boots normally. That old recovery file was from using CWM on my last phone that's why it was on SD. I haven't been able to locate the recovery image on the internal.

Are you saying I need to put the twrp recovery img on my SD card then use root browser to copy it to the correct path on the internal?

Hello everyone! I just downloaded and moved an install zip of a ROM to my sd card using root explorer. Problem is I had wiped everything beforehand in recovery without confirming that the zip was on my sd card! I was sure it was on there as I had done this many times before, but I couldn't find it using TWRP.
How can I fix this? I have an sd reader but it doesn't support sdhc
Try looking in data/media folder. Had that happen to me and that's where it was

I swear I looked everywhere, but I'll double check. Is this an issue with TWRP? I never had a problem like this with CWM.
So how do I boot into recovery with the phone off now?

With cwm i had no issue like this. With TWRP i did.
Press and hold volume up +home + power
Thanks! Wish me luck
So frustrating! I know that the damn zip is on there somewhere, but I can't see it! I checked data/media and found TWRP, but no zip. You found the zip on the external card in data/media and not the internal storage correct? Any other suggestions that I can try other than getting a compatible sd card reader/adapter?

Where did you put the file?
I found it on the internal storage as thats where I had my file.
did you use the file manager function in advanced to look for it?
and in the future make a folder called 3 and put all flash-able zips in it
i use the 3 becuz recovery has numbers at the top of the list
I always download and move the zip to the root of my sd with root explorer before I flash. Never had any problems until using TWRP. Not saying it's not my fault for not making a backup first, but something screwy is going on with it. I'll be going back to CWM.
If you can't find it... Download the file on your computer... Connect to your phone computer as disk drive... Transfer the file into a recognized folder and then flash it...

yes I used the file manager, but didn't find anything. I think what happened was that the zip was on internal storage and was erased when I wiped. Not sure how it was in internal storage because I'm almost positive I moved it to the root of sd before booting into recovery. I could be wrong though.

you can use the rooted img file and use odin so you can at least boot up

I've never used TWRP but from the recovery you should be able to mount your phone/ sd card to your computer and transfer files... might be called mount and storage or something close to that...
I know enough to get me into his predicament!
I used this to root (don't think I used Odin with that), but I do remember messing with it for something else as I do have it installed. So I'm no expert as you can tell!

ok go to the link above download Odin (extract to the folder) and the root66 tar
put them in a folder on your desktop
put your phone in download mode and plug in cable
(Turn off Phone
Hold down Volume Down + Power + Home Button
Press Volume Up when Prompted after the security warning)
Open up ODIN
Put the stock.vzw_root66.tar in the PDA section
Select box: Auto Reboot
it will take awhile "do not unplug" wait for it to say pass it will reboot on its own

which part?
Flashed instigator kernel onto chimera mod without explicitly checking to see if it would work (i know)
phone soft bricked
fixed using CWM, restored back up, but could not flash anything afterwards
error looks something like this
E:Can't open /sdcard/ROM/vincom/[rom name].zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Restored to stock using odin, reinstalled CWM but same error. Installed TWRP but same error
everything works perfectly fine but can't flash anything, same error for any flash
never seen this problem before, don't think its in this forum anywhere
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Tried formatting your SD card yet?

I'm on TWRP 2.2.0 right not, can't get back to CWM because of no flashing thing.
as far as i can see no format sd option on TWRP
is wipe SD the same as format on here?
Turn your phone off, then remove the SD card and plug it into your PC with an adapter. Format it from there. I've had better results that way.

Out of curiosity, what are/were you trying to flash?

Ya its like you are trying to flash the path to the rom instead of the rom itself. Is that error message showing up in the cwm ui or in the odin window on your pc?
If it's in odin.. You can't flash a zip file. You'll need to unzip the zip (7zip?) and flash the tar file inside if it is a odin type file. Otherwise flash the rom with cwm or better yet TWRP.

I'm not trying to flash a zip file in odin.
That appeared in CWMT 6.0.1.4, similar message appeared in TWRP.
In each case it has trouble opening the zip file containing whatever rom i'm trying to flash, doesn't matter the path, rom, sdcard, whatever.
pretty sure there's nothing wrong with any of the files or the sd cards, the phone just can't open a zip package from anywhere.
However, CWM worked, once, going from CWM 5 to CWM 6, only time it's done anything in a recovery.
I have attempted to flash multiple roms including cm9, cm10, superlite, and chimera, in CWM 5, CWM 6 sk8terwitskil's version, and TWRP 2.2.0
EDIT:
i had some luck with flashing a zip that just contained google now.
I noticed today that the sd card worked without my normal files on it (the zip was in the downloads folder) and the major difference that I see is before I restored the sd card files android.secure wasn't on the sd card.
I have android.secure on both the internal and external sd cards, (since restoring my original ext sdcard files) not sure if that's normal or not.
Should i just remove android.secure and see if it works? Can the phone do without it if that's not the problem?
is android secure supposed to be on both cards? My gut says no.
What the **** is android.secure anyway?
are zips that contain just apps or services like google now (non-wipe) fundamentally different from ROMs in some way that would let them flash but not the ROM zips?
Thanks to everyone who has responded and helped so far.
If anyone has answers to these questions I would appreciate it.
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

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.
Hi ,I am using Note 3 N9005 . I have rooted phone with lean kernel and Philz CWM based recovery.I was trying to clear some space on internal SD and deleted the storage folder fro the device. After deletindg this folder ,all the other folders in the same hirarchy also got deleted. Now I am able to boot into recovery restore backup using CWM bbut cannot flash any custom ROM .Is there any solution for this . After restoring the backup I tried factory reset ut still I cant flash ROM though I can flash another kernel and TWRP and other CWM based recoveries. I am stuck on to the rom that I dont want.
During flashing ROM I get an error cannot read update package /sdcard/media/0/rom.zip.
Please help if anybody came across such situation and was able to sole the problem

My 2 cents, at least you could try to reflash with Odin a standard samsung rom for your note 3 in order to bring back all necessary files, then go further with a custom rom again.
Good luck

Tried that too. Some how the folder structure has changed which is not allowing me to flash a new rom. Moreover I am not able to copy zip file to phone memory though I am able to copy the complete folder containing the zip file.This has been a new problem .

Hello, I unlocked my bootloader and today I tried to flash the modified boot.img so I can have root. For some reason, when I look at my storage through a file explorer everything is there perfectly. When I boot into TWRP though, the folder names have changed to gibberish and I can no longer locate the file I downloaded. Can anyone shed some light??

TWRP doesn't support encryption yet so I'm assuming that's why it won't show your internal storage correctly. Mine does the same thing.

Just open up TWRP and choose image instead of zip and flash the boot.img or flash it through fastboot. I would pick up a Micro SD card if you don't have one.
Then install SuperSU from the Play Store.

So you can copy files to it since it is external storage and not encrypted.
