Try mounting manualy in mounts and storage

After hours of research I came to a conclusion that CWM is the problem. It is described somewhere in the thread about it. There is a better CWM but requires unlocked bootloader.
So I will ask, has someone managed to follow this tutorial, and has locked bootloader? If yes, could you link to the root/CWM thread or file that you used?

You didnt understand. I've flashed .18 then rooted it and after that i've installed cwm . I already have jb root.zib and super user on my memory card . Well, when i restart into cwm and select install from sd card/ choose zip from sd card it show me a mesage that says " no files found " ! And i;ve tried this metod many times even with .28

Click to collapse

I have the exact same problem as poster above! It seems like CWM is not working properly, what exact version (link us) of CWM did everybody who got it working use?
Which version of CWM actually lets you choose install zip from sdcard and not give error?

I have this CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003069

I have CWM from that thread aswell, 6.1 for J. I can get into it no problem, but when I select choose zip from sdcard it says no files. I have put both files (superuser and jb root.zip) on:
- internal /sdcard/
- external sdcard
No matter what I do I get no files when choosing install zip from sdcard. Tried this on ST26i_11.0.A.3.28 and ST26i_11.0.A.7.5 makes no difference.
Do you have any idea what is causing this?

if you have philz recovery then click auto root or download and flash the latest supersu from chainfire's thread and flash it from recovery, but why do you need root access to flash rom? you just need a custom recovery

sure. just a second i creat a short guide with picture
for now you can download:
Odin v 1.85
PhilZ CWM 6.9.13
How to:
-Close every KIES process or better uninstall it.
-But make sure driver is installed properly Letest USB drivers (Only use if you have not installed a working driver)
-Extract Odin to your desktop
-Put "philz_touch_6.19.3-n7000.tar.md5" in the "Odin" folder
-Start Odin
-Connect your Galaxy Note to your computer in "DOWNLOAD" mode
and make sure that everything is set as in my picture

press "START"
If your Galaxy Note decides to scream and run away then its not my fault.
This should be safe BUT its you modify the Galaxy Note.

@bieltv.3 , I cant mount Data

For people who get error mounting data
Simply flash this cwm
Flash the rom zip (this will install the kernel)
Reboot to recovery
Format system data cache
Mount system data cache
Flash the rom zip again
Restart

For me it shows..

Hmm its more likely than Galaxy pocket uses another location for Sdcard. Compare the recovery.fstab files of this CWN zip and the one you yave on cori

I like ur works alott sir ...
so sir i need to replace that file with my pocket cwm file right
i will ..
Thanks sir

This was happening too. Kernel modifications are needed. Try to use mackief kernel

sir .. im using galaxy pocket
Should i flash mackief kernel on galaxy pocket ??? Really should i ??
And sir can i make a thread for galaxy pocket of cwm 6.0 in miscelns development section please not able to pm you ??

@bieltv.3 bug reports:
1. system & cache is mounted when i enter into the recovery but when i unmount & mount again,they don't mount.
2. data & sd-ext can't be mounted.recovery.log attached.
3. when clicking to backup,recovery background image turns into huge big & some portion is blacked.screenshot attached.
i didn't test further such as wiping battery stats,dalvik cache,formatting,flashing etc. i tested only above mentioned on my galaxy y duos,running stock 2.3.6 rom.

This CWM is only compatible with EXT4 filedystem. I should add that info to the firdt post

Works.......
Works perfectly fine on galaxy pocket with some modifications.....Needs to be resized though....But, my question is, can it flash CM11? (not on pocket but on totoro)....

yes it can flash cm11
of course you need to be on ext first or flash the cm11 rom (this will install the kernel) reboot to recovery format system data cache mount system data cache and flash the rom zip again
would be easier just flashing the kernel with cwm built in if you are using totoro
if you get status 7 errors it means your phone doesnt currently have the correct build prop - you can either
remove the lines that check for the prop in the updater script of the rom
flash cm7 first
try flashing my buildprop first that I posted in the cm11 general section

So sir ..

you cant have done all the steps
if you have flashed and got a working cm7 it would be impossible to get status 7 errors
also if you mounted system and flashed my build prop (note if you use this recovery you must already be on ext - if not use cmw 5 to flash my build prop file) and rebooted to recovery you would also have the correct build prop (your current rom will no longer boot) then you can flash cwm 6 and not have status 7 errors

@marcuss smith sorry but u are wrong
Flashing cm11 needs kernel modification
Just but boot.img from cm11 to a Kernel zip (Kernel cm7 totoro for example) then flash it
And now flash cm11

in what part am I wrong -
The cm 11 rom zip contains the kernel therefore you can flash this temp cwm and them flash the rom zip - in the process you are flashing the kernel - you can then reboot to recovery format system data cache to convert to ext mount everything again and then flash the rom zip -
Of course it would be much easier to just flash the kernel with the cwm6 built in and reboot to recovery and format system data cache and then mount everything and flash the rom zip - but if you are on ext anyway then you can just use this and flash the rom zip - will still work
Job done except if you have status 7 error
the reason I said its easier if you on cm7 is because of the following
stock rom build.prop is - GT-S5360
cm7 build.prop is - totoro
in order to flash the cm11 rom zip without status 7 error you need your build prop to say your device is totoro
Thats why I said you can either remove this requirement from the updater script - be on cm7 first - or flash my build.prop in order for it to say your device id is totoro

You need to be a little clearer.
1. 100% Stock is a boot.sin which will only flash when using FlashTool. (.sin is a archive like .zip is a archive)
2. If you extract the .sin you will have a boot.elf the .elf can be flashed with recovery or adb shell dd cmd's but Not Flastboot. (or the last time I checked you could not )
3. So are you asking for the .sin, .elf or do you want someone to unpack the .elf then rebuild it as a .img for you??
