any help would be great ? and when i get into this more i will be glad to send funds to developers via paypal ex

CWM is super easy to use......go the OP of the CWM beta1 thread and he elxplains the ins and outs of getting into CWM. once your in it....all you have to do is have the file at the root of the SD card and go to install zip/install zip of SD/ then choose the zip and flash.
i do not have the beta on my phone yet, but i would just check the OP he seems to have laid it out pretty well.
You dont even need to have the file anywhere special on your SD card either. Just somewhere where you can find it because once you select install zip from sd card you have to navigate where you put it.

If you didn't put a microSD card in your phone for extra storage it won't have a "external SD" folder.
I do have a 16g sd , it has the. Ext sd card fie but was not there

Ok well open up the "my files" app and scroll down to see if a "external_sd" folder exists. If it isn't there then go to settings -> storage, and make sure the SD card is mounted.
If you download a Rom directly from your note it should be in a folder called "download"

Well "my files" shows the sd card, and the settings only shows unmount option for safe removel, so I'm sure its mounted

Not sure if I should have created a new thread for this but here goes. I flashed CWR through Odin yet when I go into recovery it's still stock recovery?
Did I do something wrong, I got success in Odin?
EDIT: I figured it out, my bad.

Hey there guys.
I have been using my phone everyday with no problems - currently using CM7 by Mik.
Anyways, I put some songs into my SD Card through USB yesterday and I went on with my day, no problems.
I got home, and I notice the SD card was removed. I reset my phone but now my phone does not recognize the SD card.
I tried the SD card on my sister's Android phone and it works perfectly. I can't even get the USB connection to work.
How do I go about fixing this? I tried getting in through the Android SDK, still no luck. I tried mounting via recovery and no such luck also.
Any help would be great, thanks.
just flash the rom which u are using (u said mik's rom) from recovery without formatting system and without any data or cache wipe, i think that should work.
Your data will be as it is but u need to flash again the zip files u flashed after rom install previously (like google apps zip file from mik, ap2sd zip file, any theme zip file etc. whatever u flashed previously).

Is it a problem with the phone itself?

use a different sd card and see if u r able to flash from recovery
Nothing happened, just says "no such directory" or SD card cannot be found.
No error or anything.
I put my SD card into my sister's Android and it still works. I used her SD card and it doesn't work on my phone but it works on hers.
I think it's the ROM or the phone itself. How do I go about flashing the phone through the PC without an SD card? Or how do I flash a ROM from recovery without SD card?

I think u should flash stock rom from lgmdp.
follow "cook your custom rom" till step 2
cook your custom rom- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901417
(disable lg modem before start)
Now start lgmdp and
select port
select image folder the created "stockrom" folder
Now uncheck "recovery image" option (to have custom recovery retained)
then download.
(donot disconnect untill it shows download complete)
Note: i didnot test it , but i think it should work.

Hey I'm currently using the lightning 6.1 rom you guys have on this forum but I'm trying to get the new cyanogen mod 7.1 on my galaxy s2 instead via CWM.
I've rebooted into recovery to try flash the .zip but nothing shows up on my SD card... when I try enter the folder it just springs back to the start menu and i'm unable to flash.
Does anyone have any idea?
I have:
Formated my SD card, then put all my data back on.
Made sure the SD card is working.
So how comes its not working via CWM? I can ask to flash it via the actual app but when it boots into recovery to flash it gives me a signature error.

Try going to the "mounts and storage" option in CWM. Then click on mount sd card. That might be your problem.
TIP: If you want to flash CM7 flash this kernel before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 , becasue if your using cf root kenrel you will get into trouble.

I tried this and it still says there are no files on the SD card... do I need to name it something specific? I tried naming the rom zip update.zip once but that didn't do anything either.
I dont really want to flash to a recovery rom only if i'm not able to get CM7 off of my SD Card :/
*edit* I currently have the zips at the root of the SD card.. there are 4 folders data, LOST.DIR, DCIM and media... should the files be on the root or in another folder?
Make sure the zip file is on the root of the "internal" sd card, also just keep the name the same as the downloaded file. You should find it somewhere at the bottom of the list. Also select with the menu button, not the power button. Power button is to go back.

Well I've been trying for like 3 hours and still no luck. Which is the root cuz I noticed when I plug the card into the computer and the prompt comes up to choose what I want (and I choose open folder to.view files) on the top of the screen it says g:\ and when I choose the open folder to.view file it turns the g to a E:/ so which is the official root. Anyway I tried putting the dload in both and nothing. I have no clue what else to do. This isn't the first time I do some Modding on electronic equiptment. I have my phone rooted and Ive installed android into windows phones...I also tried redownloading the file but nothing.
Do you have a SD card in the machine? Be aware that the internal memory on the Mediapad calls itself SD but it is not.

3. copy all my files in the sd card to my computer for backup.
4. format sd card to fat32 with default allocation.
5. copy dload folder to my sd card.
6. put my sd card back to my tablet turn it on and everything goes well.

My card is already a fat32. I've tried it all. Can it be because my springboards build number is S7-303u and the file I downloaded is S7-302u?

Hello!
So, I have a "little big" problem over here.. I rooted my SGS3, so I could install new roms.. Until here, its all ok..
But then, i downloaded Android Revolution HD 2.1.0 and a script, from the same developer, to wipe stuff before flash the rom..
I've placed 2 rom zip files , 1 at the internal storage, and another at the SD card, just to make sure everything would be good. I flashed the wipe script, as the developer told to, at his thread.. And here comes the problem: The script wiped ALL the internal storage and i dont have access to the SD card via recovery.. Now my celphone is stuck at CWM or Download Mode.. i've PMed some developers and got some help, but i'm not really sure on what to do.. please help me if you can.. i need my phone back thanks!
Re root your s3 via tar file
Pc odin
That way u will get your cwm back
And take out ur sd card and place the rom zip file again in ur external sd..
And flash
I don't understand, why you don't have access to your external SD Card, is the option to flash from ext SD hidden?
(install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard)

I actualy have the CWM.. but it only gives me access to the internal storage.. not the external.. and i have no way to push files into internal storage.. :/
Maybe pushing files using ADB ?
Connect phone with pc
Start adb
adb push romfile.zip /sdcard/romfile.zip
give it a try

Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> nothing, only "Clockworkmod/", with a "backup/" inside.. but there is nothing inside the backup one.. D: and i'm sure the zip file is there.. i pushed it in there via PC, using the adaptor..
Oh, i also have a nandroid backup on my computer.. i made it with the SGS3 kit.. it has this files inside: " Boot(image), cache.ext4.zip, data.ext4.zip, nandroid.md5, recovery(image) and system.ext4
Are you sure, the script didn't format the extSD, too? Try to connect sdcard with adapter and copy rom file again

simple way just make double copy and put into internal and external for both files
that's just the problem ...it will save internally but not to the SD card ..just cant seem to get it to save to the SD card ??? wanted to root my phone using the guide in the link .. but without the busy box .. it wont root. and i cant post on the guys thread as only just joined :crying:
