If you formatted system there is no os to boot into... You need the zip file on the sd card before doing anything like that and you also must check that the recovery you are using can read that sd card otherwise its back to pc Odin for you to re-install an OS, reroot and install a recovery...

[Q] Cant mount SDcard in CWM recovery

Hi! i have a motorola defy MB525 , and its running Eclair 2.1, so i wanted to flash CM11 , i did everything successfully until the part where you have to flash your ROM ! good thing im cautious and always check the zip. install before wiping any data, and i got the following message when trying to install zip. from sdcard :
E:can't mount /sdcard
because i haven't wiped my data yet, the phone is now working 100%, but i want kitkat not eclair,so can anyone help ??
my clockworkmod version is 2.5.1.8

[Q] Need Help in flashing rom in a phone which does not have ext memory card

Hello Guys, i have micromax canvas knight phone which does not have external memory card support. The phone is rooted and i need to flash a rom. For that i need to wipe data/factory reset, as i put the rom zip file in internal memory, rom file would get erased. Since factory reset is mandatory before flashing a new rom through recovery, how can we do that without losing the rom file in internal memory? Please help.

[GUIDE] How to Flash a ROM WITHOUT an SD Card

[Q] SD Card no longer detected when downgrading from 12.1

I am facing a really weird problem.
Initially, my HTC Desire S was running CM10.1 ROM, with sdcard 32GB FAT32 formatted. Recovery was CWM 5.0.2.0. I saw CM 12.1 Lollipop ROM for HTC saga, and decided to try it out. Recovery was updated to TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, and installed successfully CM12.1 The phone was lagging, and decided to revert back to CM10.1.
The sdcard was not detected in CM10.1, neither when recovery was reverted back to CWM 5.0.2.0. I also tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga and recovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-saga, none could mount the sdcard. I tried other sdcards (16GB and 8GB), formatting them using SDFormatter, checking using MiniTool Partition to make sure it's not set to logical. None could be detected.
But when I put back TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, all sdcards could be detected in recovery. I reinstalled CM12.1, it could also detect and use the sdcard.
It seems that installing recovery TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial and/or upgrading to 12.1. had caused sdcard to be undetectable by earlier version of recovery and OS.
How can I fix this, and have my phone running CM10.1 again, with sdcard detected?

Try flashing 4ext recovery see if thats able to mount anything.
Theres a thread by me in Desire S General and its 4ext recovery as PG88IMG. Just extract the zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot. (or just use the PG88IMG haha)

Nope, 4ext can't mount sdcard. It seems only TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial recovery and CM12.1 can detect the sdcard.

Strange. U should ask the dev of twrp and or the rom dev to see if they know anything bout it.
Check ur sdcard for any recovery folder (twrp) and delete it then try flashing 4ext. There might be something in the folder f****** things up haha.

It happens also to newly formatted sdcards.

How do u format the sdcard? Coz if u format it using recovery then it doesnt delete the recovery folder. Anyway im out of ideas so best contact the dev see if they know why.

Does sp flash tool wipe sdcard? Need help.

I have to flash stock rom for my mobile because on the current custom rom adb doesn't work. I have different backups of previous roms and apps on my phone storage (internal sdcard) or should I say built-in sdcard. Wanted to know that if I would use sp flash tool for flashing stock rom, then will it erase internal sdcard?
Will I lose all my backups?I am working on ubuntu.
Please help me on this issue. Any information will be appreciated.
