[Q] procedure for using a .pkg update file - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im using a custom rom (MID1 ANDROID VERSION 2.3.3) that i updated from zip in my dell boot loader
how can i use the .pkg file..
is there a way to boot from PC via USB ?
or is it boot from SD ?

You must flash a stock recovery to use a .pkg file. Put the package you want on your SD Card and rename it upgrade.pkg. Flash the recovery that matches the stock rom you want to install, go into recovery mode and then select the second option. The package on the sd card will install.
This is the same as doing a factory reset - you will lose all your settings and apps.

CWM SD Issue Please Help

I am trying to flash zip files from my SD card in cmw.. I go to choose zip from sd then after choose external_sd/ when i choose it, it does absolutely nothing( I hit the home button and it says no file exists but i know the files are there). I also manually mounted the SD... I was originally trying to do the fix speaker sound.. But due to the fact i could not get the sd to read, i did it from the internal memory. Now i cannot use my phone app at all it just crashes. I now want to flash a new rom on to fix the issue, but as i said i can't flash the zip from the SD. If anyone can give me some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
For flashing Roms you ALWAYS put them on your sdcard WHICH IS THE INTERNAL UNREMOVEABLE SDCARD. Your external sdcard on Samsung roms is called external_SD and in cm7 it is called emmc. On stock based roms (Samsung roms) you will always have to put the files on the sdcard NOT the external removeable sdcard.

Sounds like you already have a rom installed. Which one? Or are you still on stock? If stock, you can't flash from stock 3e recovery.
Assuming you have CWM Recovery, put the flashable zip on the root of the internal sdcard *not* the external sdcard, and not in any directory. If your directory structure on the sdcard is fairly long, the files may be hidden at the bottom, and you will have to scroll down to see them. Use the vol+ button to scroll in the up direction is easiest. Then you should be able to install the rom by selecting "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Do not use "choose zip from internal sdcard".
I am running a stock rom rooted.. I was falling a sleep while typing it.. I ment I was trying to choose the rom in CWM.. I saved the ROM on my external SD so i can try to pull the file and flash my phone to it.. What i am saying is when i go to pick the ZIP under in CWM i can't access it. As i wrote in my original post
If you have stock rom plus root by Entropy512, then the kernel is straight stock with 3e recovery, and you can not flash a rom from 3e recovery. You will need to install a kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery first. See the guide linked in my signature for detailed instructions on how to do that.
And go back and read both RockRatt's post and my previous post, to learn that you can not install a rom from the external sd card. And you should spend some time reading in general, so you have a basic understanding of what you are doing. And then do some more reading.

Why is it so difficult to put the zipfile on internal sdcard for flashing purposes,
then after flashing using a file manager simply move the zipfile to external sdcard?
Of course if you were using CWM Manager you would not have the
problem in the first place, CWM Manager (apk) can be downloaded
here: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G it is fully compatible with
CWM recovery but you do not need to go into recovery mode.
With this app you will have access to external sdcard with no problem.
It has most of the same options and features as you would see in Rom
Manager but it's fully compatible with our phones and flashable zipfile
roms, kernels, modems and mods. (it even installs apps )apk).
This is a perfect solution to backup and restore roms too.
(fully CWM compatible Nandroid with option to name the backup)

Excuse me but to do the upgrade from FXP045 to FXP046 without losing the settings I have to apply the update from SD card? or install zip file from SD card?
recovery through appropriate..
I do not have to do the same procedure when I first installed CM7? what's the procedure??
Simply install update.zip (or install zip from SD-card if the file you downloaded is named something else than "update.zip")
I understand ... but if I install from the zip file recovery, I lose all the installed applications? settings etc.?

[Q] unable to apply update from sd card??

So I have a samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2 jellybean, rooted, stock recovery. Now I have been wanting to install cwm recovery on my device since a long long time, and rom manager isn't compatible with my device. I finally found a cwm.zip file for my device somewhere. The site told me to flash it via stock recovery, by the apply update from sdcard option. So I went into recovery, and when I click on apply update from sdcard option, I see only ../ I don't see a list of files on my external sd card. I tried formatting my sdcard, tried reinserting it, nothing worked. Plz guide me how I can flash the file I want to. Thanks....

Install MobileUncle tools, then go to recovery update choose your cwm file and flash
I use a totally different phone, anyhow, see if there is a "Mount sdcard" option somewhere in your recovery before you go to apply update.
BTW, ".." stands for up directory (just in case). And "." is the current directory.
Extremely sorry for my absence.....
No, no mount sdcard option anywhere in recovery

Wiped phone completely stuck inn CWM recovery , can you help?

OK, I have a rooted HTC One and I was in clockworksmode recovery and I wipe my phone complete. My phone now has no Rom on it. How can I add a zip file on to it to install Rom. I have a otg cable with a flash drive, but when I try to install zip from flash drive CWM says Error mounting/eternal_sd! , and yes I have made sure that flash drive is formatted to FAT32. Is there any way that i can fix this Error or put the zip file on to my phone using the computer?

adb sideload rom.zip
or
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0
both of those will get the rom to your phone .. choose one
your phone needs to be in CWM recovery when you do it
