I moved my old Galaxy S2 from stock to Cyanogenmod years ago and stopped using it when the USB port failed for data but not power.
I got it out of a drawer today and I just upgraded from the external SD card to Cyanogenmod 12.1 and forgot to add Gapps.
I think I had TWRP before but now I only have Cyanogen Recovery.
Is there a way to add Gapps without TWRP or USB?
Hi there and welcome to Assist,
Download proper GApps and copy to your SD card (on the root of card) using some Micro SD adapter, and then try to flash thru recovery.
Good luck
Thanks man.
The Gapps zip wouldn't read from the external card so I copied it in the OS onto the CMupdater folder on the phone and it worked from there.
Thanks again.

Hi Guys,
My USB isn't working properly anymore - as a result it won't charge and I can't connect it to the computer. I have a new s3 and I want to copy the entire image from one device to another.
From what I can gather if I'm able to do CWM backup to an external SD card I can then simply load this back onto my device.
My trouble is I can't seem to preform a full back up onto the external SD card from CWM recovery menu - any ideas would be appreciated!
what error are you getting while making a backup from cwm ?

I'm stuck. I don't know what to do. I have twrp 2.6 and i have no os installed whatsoever. Is there a way to mount usb storage so i can send the stock rom to install from my micro sd card? I basically tried to installed cm 10 with the 4.2 bootloader which ****ed it up. I want to send the 10.1 CM so I can use a rom again/

why not just download the stock rom on you pc then put it on the sd card then put the sd card in your tablet?
I recommend using twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 instead of 2.6 if you have fastboot that is. It mounts external SD just fine. Tap the internal storage box and you should be able to change to microsd.

Good day.
I was planning on putting new Rom Hyperdrive 8 on my Samsung N8013 tablet.
I rebooted the tablet into CWM touch recovery. 6.0.4.5 and selected the option "clean up for new Rom. After the cleanup was done successfully, I selected "install from sdcard1" to install a new hyperdrive 8 Rom, it cannot see the external micro sdcard card (32 gigs) and my new Rom is on the external sdcard. It can't even see the internal card either. I am able to get into the Cwm Touch Recovery. But I cannot mount or remount the external micro sd card.
Your advice on how to make it work would be greatful.
Thank you.
I have samsung galaxy s3 (I9300). I don't have external SD Card in my phone. I have already rooted my phone and installed custom recovery CWM. I have gone through the steps of flashing Archi Droid ROM but it says to copy the files to root folder of SD card. As I don't have SD Card , is there any way to flash the ROM without SD Card ? Thanks, Alok
Hi,
You will need to register on XDA and ask for help in the thread you downloaded the rom from.
Good luck!
Hello,
I have just flashed to Omnirom's version of Lollipop (from here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_mDj-AUPfVrdm51MWRvMzN0bUE&usp=sharing)
The SD card is accessible in recovery mode, nothing wiped or deleted but not when the phone is booted up. Running fine other than that.
If I press 'mount SD card' it makes a responsive sound but appears to have no effect. I cannot connect to my laptop via USB either.
What do I do?
Hi,
You will need to ask for help in the thread you downloaded the rom from. You will need to register on XDA to post there.
Good luck!
