Hey, I have started installing cynanogenmod today on my galaxy ace 3 gt s7275r. I have flashed twrp. And also i have put the two rar files (i dont remember the names) in the sd card.
And once i done everything and came to recovery mode, i wiped data and now there is no OS installed. I cant see the zip files in the sd card while in twrp.
Please help, if i try to reboot it will just keep showing device name

Hi, I had my phone unlocked and rooted with GT_19100_XXK14_original and CF-Root_SGS2_XX_XEO_K14-V... All was working correctly but I decided to try installing ICS ROM Batista70 FoxHound Edition 0.3. The install seemed to go smoothly but upon reboot phone was frozen in boot screen.The freezing happened at each reboot, so I tried flashing back to the earlier ROM, knowing I had CMW and zip files on the SD card. CMW would give me the option to install from SD but did not find any zip files! I can put the SD in a card reader and see the zip files with windows explorer. I got into download mode and tried to flash XXK14_original with Odin but this failed. I am now left with a phone which will go into download mode but no longer has CF-Root - the recovery is now the standard blue version of Samsung and indeed this does not see zip files either! Could it be the zips are corrupt? Is it any use to try re downloading a zip file direct to the SD card? There doesn't appear to be any ROM installed as start-up doesn't proceed beyond the "S" logo.
How should I proceed? I have explored this site for clues and cannot find anything relevant. Now desperate please help!
I had issues with the last CWM release so I decided to try TWRP. I use Rom toolbox Pro to get into recovery and wiped all to flash a new rom. Problem arose when I went into" Install" program of TWRP, I could not find my SD files. I change from root to SD card and only saw twrp, cwm and upper level. I tried many ways , but could not get to the files in my SD card. Any help would be appreciated...
Check in /data/media
If your stuff isn't there its gone. If you don't have any ROM zips and you have already wiped system you will need to setup and use ADB to push one.

Have you tried formatting your SD Card with an external card reader, then loading the files?

I tried an earlier version of TWRP and my SD card popped up fine in the Install section. Maybe it's me.... but I dunno the latest versions of recoveries CWM and Twrp have had bad sections....
Hi everyone, I downloaded the Fantasy HD rom v11 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341030 and was very excited to start using it. After rooting my samsung s3 I9300 and installing clockworkmod recovery I copied the downloaded zip file to the my SD card, for some reason it would not copy and kept saying "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". So i ended up putting my SD card into a card reader and copied it that way and it finally copied onto the card. I loaded up recovery mode, selected install from zip and when I click the rom it says something like installing...(bad) and just stops. Please can someone help me with this I dont understand what is going on. I thought maybe the download was corrupt so I redownloaded the file and still wont copy to the SD card although other files copy to it with no error msg. Any help will be very much appreciated

Hi, I've been trying to hunt down an answer to my problem with no avail, hopefully someone here can help. I've a rooted Huawei y300 0100 back on factory stock again.
My problem is this after I rooted (went fine first time doing this) installed TWRP created backups, Flashed Fusion x rom no problems at all, found a few bugs thought I would try another ROM, restored my stock from twrp saved backups all good I thought...
Upon re entering recovery everything is fine, factory wipe etc then when it comes to installing any ROM I get the message E: cannot open zip. This happens on any ROM I try, so I know its not the file, file can also be opened on PC and phone explorer.I've formatted the external SD card and re-downloaded ROMs still nowt.
I would just use the stock again and run a new launcher and delete the bloat myself but I can't get Orbit working at all now I'm rooted and back on factory stock when it was working fine on fusionx and orbit/Pandora are pretty much what I did all this for
Any ideas would be appriecated as I'm pretty noobish at this.
Would installing cwm over the top of twrp work?
Do I need to do a special kind of wipe in case of file corruption?
Solved, after some fiddling got flashing working again. What worked for me was to redownload the file direct to internal SD and flashing from there. Downloading anywhere else ie PC or ext SD and copying across still gave same error. Not sure why but I've flashed 3 ROMs today without issue this way. Hope this helps anyone else who encounters this.

Hey Pete, did you flash rom from Int. Sd card or ext. sd card?? Getting the same problem flashing DN3 for note 2 on TWRP 2.7.2.0.
Yay!

ABSOLUTELY confirmed. I was trying it for days. After finding this post, direct downloading to sdcard worked for me.

yeeah... thank you bro
I also had problems with "unable to open zip file" and "bad" errors, seemed to be fixed by formatting a spare 4gb MicroSD to FAT and making sure it was the first thing copied to the SD card. I was using PHILZ recovery, but I'd assume that TWRP will work just as well. I have a suspicion it may have something to do with file fragmentation or maybe allocation block size. Before this I checked MD5SUMs on a few MicroSD cards and they were all perfect, so it wasn't a download or copy corruption, the bootloader just has an issue with the file or filesystem for some reason.
Can confirm. Was having trouble installing Boeffla 3.0 kernal on gnabo 4.4.2 (v8). ( samsung galaxy note 10.1 n801x / n8013 )
Deleted the zips I downloaded, then re-downloaded straight to zip. installed like a boss!
Thanks!
This is a most underrated thread.
Just had the same issue with my old Galaxy S3. Needed to copy the zip directly to internal storage via mtp in twrp.
In newer twrp version it shows zip file corrupt instead of unable to open zip.
Hello there,
I was in the middle of installing recovery, root and a custom ROM on my SM-T210 (Galaxy Tab 3 7"), when the title happened. I don't think the issue is device related though, so that's why I'm posting here.
I have StockRom Kitkat Version 1.7 (not the stock rom, that's just what it's called) installed at the moment, but I didn't like it so I wanted to go for Supernova (2.1) and flash that. This would've worked if TWRP didn't suddenly stop being able to see my files in internal storage...
My device isn't encrypted so that's not the issue. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Hello,
Make sure you are mounting system and data
Make sure zip files type is selected and not IMG files
Try moving to SD card and try to see if it's there if you have one
Reflash twrp -make sure it's the latest twrp-
Then boot into it, flash rom

Thank you very much sir, using an SD card did it for me! TWRP was already the newest one I could use so that wasn't an option, the other 2 tips I also already tried.
