Hi
I wanted to install ROM from SD Card, but it doesn't show in the recovery. What could be the reason?

Make sure that you have the recovery for the correct phone and that sd card is formatted with ext/2/3/4 or fat32

Hey guys!
Is there any recovery tool like ClockWork recovery, that allows "install zip from external SD"?
Thanks in advance!
External SD? How would that work? Where would you put the sd?

"External" means not internal. Like memory card, the one you put to get extra memory on the phone.

But all Recovery tools work with sd card. Unless I'm misunderstanding something?
They don't instal recovery onto the sd card, but they can read and flash zip files from the sd card.

For some reason phone's original SD Card is not accessible... Tried copying the zip ROM from Mem Card to phone using ES Ecplorer, it failed...
Tried booting CM7 with ROM manager, it comes up with the following error:
"SD Card marker not found...
Error verfying extendedcommand
etc
"
Maybe you can help?
Sounds like your SD card may be corrupt in some way. I've seen that before. I suggest you copy everything off your sd card then format it, then copy everything back and try again

Formating doesn't work... It does not delete all the files...
Hi guys
Please assist, i have unlocked, installed recovery.
My phone was not rooted, but apparently the ROM i installed wouldve done that automatically.
When rebooted, my device, booted directly to recovery?
I can access Fastoot protocol, access recovery fine, but it does not boot to the ROM?
When i tried to choose install from internal zip, it says "no files found" which is strange?
Please help me, device off, not sure what to do?
your rom zip should be on external sd card, not internal, internal sd card is what you should be flashing the rom too in recovery not from.

Thank you, i managed to get it sorted.
It seems like my download was corrupted or something (The actual ROM File)
Not correct, with a Motorola XOOM i flash the ROM with the zip file on the internal memory (folder DCIM) and work perfect like from a external sd card.

Hi,
Is it a new sd card?
Did you format it to FAT 32?
Make sure you backup all your stuff first.
Format it from the phone
Which .zip are you trying to flash? Is it anything that needs to be renamed?

Per pio_masaki, I reinstalled TWRP and remounted the External SD Card. Each time I go into TWRP I need to remount. Oherwise, I lose access to the SD Card.
I download a rom in the sd card0 and moved to ext sd card.when i was ready to install the rom,show me this message ext sd card un mounted.I was stuck because I had move the nandroid backup to the ext sd card too.what i did was hit the back button a couple times until the phone boot,the phone change to stock and i had to re-install the rom manager again, and move the nandroid back up and the rom that i was downloded before to the sd card0,the problem was when i tried to re-install the nandroid back up the md5 not match.what i did was install the rom that i downloaded first.question it is possible to put a rom if the rom its in the ext sd card?If it is posible what i have to do,do i have change some setting or what? Thanks...

In mounts and storage in CWM there should be an option to mount external sd card, then just go install zip from sdcard then choose the external sd card
