After rooting my Flyer via revolutionary, it has a custom version of CWM recovery on it. But this version won't allow me to flash anything from zip. I have attempted to update recovery via ROM Manager, but the flyer is not listed in the device list when I select. Is there any alternative clockwork mod recovery available at the moment? Google has only pointed me back to the same revolution version. I've also tried an older version but it will not flash after parsing the file.
Is any one else getting these problems?
Thanks

What exactly do you mean it won't let you flash anything from zip? What happens?
Hey globatron...
I was hoping you would see this, when I put any thing on the flyer to flash, be it a battery mod, rom, theme etc, cwm does not 'see' it, it returns a zip file not found error. I've tried to ext-sd as well as internal memory, just no luck...
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
ok, I was hoping it would be something like this. There are a few things to try before assuming that it's the recovery. If recovery runs running I personally doubt it's a recovery problem.
Ok, point #1 is that you were correct to think it might be ext_sd, it is, you can only use the external SD for flashing.
You need to make sure that it is formatted fat32, but I doubt that is an issue or it would not have mounted.
If you're transferring to the sdcard via mounting under windows, make sure you "safely remove" before attempting to flash or it might not flush to SD and you'll see no file, the same applies to doing a "umount" first in linux.
One way of being sure it's really there is to push with adb, but that is not necessary if you do the above. You should not use unmount usb storage in recovery for this purpose, you must unmount from the PC side first.
Hmmm, OK I've sent the data in many ways, as you have suggested,via adb push & including Bluetooth, but the thing is, not even all of the sdcard contents show up on the drive, should I try a different SD all together? What if I download directly on the flyer? This is boggling me, desires and gtabs are for more straight forward... lol
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
Maybe try reformatting the sdcard, or as you said use another card. You you could try a direct download to the flyer also.
Could it be the folder structure? Will try a different card and report back, Captain!

OK, did a full format on the card, didn't work
Wiped the partition and recreated it as fat32, loaded the zip files and she's all good, busy flashed zips as I type!
Who woulda thought huh...
Thanks for all your help Globatron!

I highly recommend getting this utility for formatting Sd cards. It's much better than the Windows or Mac built-in format and can fix things when they are really messed up.

Ok so I bought a new 8gb card today but it would not let me put anything on it. Started showing that mounting error that has been affecting the leaked froyo Roms. So after about 2 hours trying to get it to work I decided to install the Leaked Stock Froyo Rom instead. using Odin.bad move on my part because now after a new install. I'm getting the mounting error on my internal SD card now.wont let me transfer files or music over without that dam mounting error. Tried everything.problem is I can't get the mountingfix to flash now using Rom Manager. Wont work.think its because its for e2 recovery and I'm now using e3 recovery. Someone please help me out.I'm about to loose my mind. I'm stressed to the breaking point. I lost my dad on Tuesday night from cancer. I'm trying to take my mind off it by using my phone for music and videos.so please help me out.thanks a million friends!

I am trying to flash the mountingfix.zip file by putting it onto my internal sd. Upon reboot into Android system recovery 3e, and choosing "reinstall packages."
I get the following problem:
E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any fix for this issue please!

You can try pushing the file with adb and be sure of the directory, also it's case sensitive. And have you full formatted the sdcard to fat32?
I'm sorry, I know how it feels to lose someone close to you.

Just tried reformatting it through system recovering and also the SD card setting.didn't do fat32. And why do almost all the froyo Rom's have that mounting error. Even the T-Mobile froyo Rom has that issue. And yea i was close to my dad.

How would I reformat the internal SD card with fat32? That's the one I'm having issues with.the external SD card started work.so now i just need the internal one to work!

Can't you fastboot flash the e2 recovery and try again? Or try another sdcard to see if the card is the problem or not. I know you're probably not that a rookie with this stuff but sometimes you can forget some simple solutions.

What kernel are you running? I had that same error when I ran eugene super kernel. Try a diff kernel. Also can you copy it.to your external then move it to your internal thru your phone. I had to do it that way on axura 2.1. Im sorry for loss bro. Ill keep you in my prayers.

First of all, I am very sorry for your loss.
I think that the problem may not be your sd. I think it's a problem with Clockwork. Check out this thread and see if it helps.
HOLY SH-T
this just happened to me too haha!
I was trying to get into ClockWork, by clicking reinstall packages, it said the same error as yours because i deleted the update.zip which you probably did...
Here's what i did to fix, on ROM Manager, i clicked INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY
and the update.zip appeared on my SD and it started working again.
Sorry about your dad.
Is this going to fix my internal SD card issue? How do I fix this issue without using the mountingfix.zip? I'm now using e3 recovery not e2 so wont let me install any update.zip file. Using Rom manager. Can't get clockwork recovery to work with my Stock Leaked Froyo Rom. So how do i fix this issue. Not looking to flash a new Rom just want my internal memory card to work right! Thanks a million

I'm wondering if anyone can walk me through completely cleaning out my phone before re-flashing Crazy 8. I read somewhere that you can format your internal and external sd cards to really clean things up. I've been having major slow downs and fc's and I want to try this to see if it helps. MY question is, do you format these cards and then go back to stock with ODIN or the other way around? Any tips would be most appreciated.
move critical stuff to pc
format internal/external
power down
odin to jfd
use the update.zip in my noob guide that lets you boot straight to cwr
flash rom
move any critical items back (ie titanium backup folder if you want your apps)

Awesome s15! Thanks so much. I will try this when I get home later. My internet has been down all day at work or I would've thanked you sooner!
Matty: I think you unmount the cards and then format them through the phone but I'll find out more later when I try it out.
You can format your internal/external SD card using either your phone or the computer. However, I think you should better use your phone to avoid any incompatibility issue.

Just boot into recovery, select mounts and storage. There is a format SD and format extSD choice. Always make sure you've removed anything critical to your PC first.

YAY! Formatting both SD Cards worked a charm. My phone is very speedy now and not having all the weird random re-boots and FC's! I can't buy anything from the market though, again, this is such a weird problem and I seem to be the only one having it.

You don't have custom recovery working to flash .zip?
Can flash stock firmware found on Intratech thread. Will lose root, but can flash CF-root kernel from Chainfire thread to get root again...... All with Odin.

...quite new to all this. I have installed a rom on the sd disk but when I go to install zip from sd card can't see it !!
If its ok could you explain your method ....as Im a bit of a thicko !!
thanks

Depending on what version of cwm 4 or 5 you have will make a slight difference but essentially these process.
Place the Rom zip on your internal sdcard not the removable external sdcard.
Navigate to flash .zip from internal sdcard in recovery. If you are changing versions if android or. 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 or flashing between different Roms, maybe best to factory reset, wipe.cache, and wipe dalvik (in advanced) from within recovery. Immediately flash ROM, and then reboot, give it a few minutes. You will lose your data etc, but will help to ensure you don't get boot loops or force closes etc

...for the prompt reply, problem is I can only get rom onto the external sd card. Can't see a way of getting it onto the internal one !
Guess this looks like my evenings planned with the wife moaning at me!

Boot up. Connect USB to PC and transfer the file.... If your still not sure if your putting it in the correct "sdcard", power off and remove extrenal sdcard.
You could also connect cable to PC in recovery, then "mount USB storage",. Transfer file to USB storage, "unmount", then flash from internal sdcard (look for the USB storage within).USB storage is just a sub directory of the internal sdcard.

I have the phone working but the PC will not recognise and storage on the phone which means I can't update etc. Do you have any ideas of what is needed to fix this. At the moment the only thing that I can use is Odin. I did have another rom on the sd card but cant open it.
Sorry about this !!

Have you installed Samsung Kies? You need the diverts from that installed to PC. Just remember that you need to close kies before using Odin.

Thanks for your help this afternoon

is there any way to change the default in cmw 5.0.2.7 that define sdcard as external sdcrd?
I'm not sure if it is possible, but I'm curious why you would want that.
because sd card is defined to be the external card, when i tray to mount from usb without external card in the phone, it prints some error and i can't mount from usb.
Ahhhhh. Very good reason. I had this issue too. With some versions of ClockWorkMod I had this issue and with some I didn't. I'll tell you if I have this problem with my current version tomorrow.

EDIT:
WTF, I have the same problem as you know. Don't know which "update" caused this, but I cannot use the internal storage directly from cwm anymore. Would have to use adb, but that's rather uncomfortable.
I hope this gets fixed or that somebody knows a workarround.
switch to speed mod kernel if you can (its doesn’t support miui and cm).
it "fix" temporarily my problem (its have cmw 5.0.2.3)
but i still trying to find a way to flash only cmw.
or to change the defaults of cmd 5.0.2.7.
I don't think I should flash another kernel. I had the best experiences with Siyah. It's annoying, but I have an external sdcard inside. It's not necessary for me, but would certainly be a really nice thing to see in future versions.

Tried to flash MeanRom to my EVO Lte after using CMX for a week or so with no problems.
Now I'm all turned around and I have no clue what's going on. My phone will still boot into recovery so I'm assuming all hope is not lost. However I can't access my internal sd, can't use the adb shell command (I get: "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)"), I've tried to flash CMX back onto my phone but the files seem to have disappeared from it's internal memory. adb reboot recovery works, sends me to TWRP. But once in TWRP I get confused and frustrated because I can't seem to find a way to just flash a damn ROM onto my phone. None of my backups are listed in "restore" and I had three there this morning. WHAT GIVES?
I'm using a Mac and don't have access to Linux or Windows, I was going to try to unroot it and start from there but I can't seem to find a way to unroot the phone on a Mac. Unless I'm googling wrong.

you did save your backups to external not internal right?
are you s-off? what boot loader?
if you can get into recovery you should be able to load a rom zip on sd card and flash from external card.

I saved them to internal. I don't have an external yet.. Single mom, had to buy my kid shoes. Damned priorities...
I can get into recovery I just don't have an external sd that I can put a zip on. I thought I had an extra from my old HTC G2 but I've been unable to locate it.
Should I run out to Fry's and buy an external sd card or is there a way to fix it without the external?
Edit: Btw, I'm s-ON. I'm still fairly new ish to this stuff so I'm not 100% what bootloader I'm using. Is it the same as Hboot? Hboot is 1.19.0000

yes, once its formatted, add a rom, prefereably meanrom, its the only one I've tried that has reliably installed the kernel. Give it 5-10 minutes, the phone will hang on writing kernel and it will reboot 2-3 times and it will hang each time, just let it do its thing

No, that literally just occured to me as I refreshed the page. Off to try that now.
I don't have an HTC phone with me now to show the exact steps but usually when you get to the boot loader it will have an option for formatting storage. Then try to go into recovery and mount.

Well **** I'm going to run out and buy a microsd and try to flash the rom from external. Let you know how it goes.
Alright, so flashed CMX back to my phone from the external sd. Worked beautifully. I now have a rom running on my phone.
Still can't figure out the internal sd.... Is there anyone who can tell me step-by-step what to do to reformat it or fix it or whatever? I feel like this should be a relatively easy fix, am I right? Why can't I figure it out?? Ugh.
Reboot to recovery, select mount, select mount USB storage, plug it into pc, open disk utility and select sd, select erase and choose fat
When you're booted up an go in to Menu/Settings/Storage is nothing showing under Internal storage or Phone storage?
