I have placed Meanrom.zip in the root of the SDCard and I can go to ES Explorer and located it witout a problem but when I go into TWRP to install Zip file it does not display. Any suggestions?
Make sure the zip extension isn't in caps. i.e. ZIP

Just checked and it is lower case.
Make sure its not reading from internal storage. If it is then u won't be able to see ur zip file that's on ur sd card

Go to ''mount'' in twrp and check '' mount external sd'' or something like that

you have to goto mount in twrp and change it to internal storage
Sorry to open up such an old threat, but i have simmular issues as mentiont above.
Ive gone to hell and back, getting my phone ( a MT6582 Lenovo A3600d ) rooted and TWRP on it, working and all. Yea im a prood noob.. !
But now im stuck. Ive put some compattible rom on my empty and formatted sdcard. Ive done all the flashing that is required to finally install the rom, but TWRP wont see the zip file.
Its in the root of my SD in the correct zip format etc. When i go to the TWRP file manager i also cant locate it. Eventho it tells me its reading of the sd card and not the internal memory. It will only display the maps and show some txt files. Dont know if thats normal. These are the only actuall items/lines i can see pop up.
Furthermore in "Mount" it wont let me check the box "Ext-SDcard", all the others i can check. Is this where the problem lies ? Ive removed the card and formatted it and put the rom zip file back on it a few times through my desktopcardreader.
Since ive allready flashed the phone its completly empty, only the TWRP recovery is accesable.
Am i missing something ? Any help would be greatly apprishiated

Try to use CWM, you can make it through MTK Droid Tools (I kinda forget the name)
1.Download it
2.Obtain superuser access.(make sure usb debugging and usb drivers installed.
3.Goto the second tab
4.select backup and kill the process after seeing boot.img being backed up.
5.again to the second tab.
6 .select 'To choose from the boot.img file'
7.Go to the backup folder.
8.select phone model.
9.choose boot.img
10.click yes on every pop up box.
11.done.
CWM works flawlessly on my Lenovo A3600D.
Even if it's not touch version

I really hope someone can help me out here. I have x10mini pro. I am on stock rom,build2.1.1.a.0.6,standard (never tried custom yet) but now that I see a lot of interesting Rom's I would like to try one. Here's what I did; installed Xrecovery via AAIS, then CWM and now the dual-recovery zip. (I also tried xrec/cwm seperately) So I can chose to use XREC or CWM. Now here's my problem; I am unable to install ANY Rom I have tried so far (gingerbread roms's i.e Gintonic.se but also 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 which is a normal 2.1 rom and flashable via xrec only) won't install.
Everytime I get:
cant open /sdcard/Roms/x.zip 'installation aborted' (bad) I have tried a different SD card (standard) but the same problem persists....I can not believe I am unable to install a custom ROM but I am completely stuck with my problem. I am rooted/xrec working/cwm working...I can install small updates (ie cwm via xrec&dual-recovery.zip) but NOT a complete Rom...Whywhywhy...It is driving me crazy!!! Can someone from this fantastic forum help me please?
Hi u find all ansers in q and a this is dev thread bro

Thanks for trying to help me as well mukptl! How can I check MD5 after copying? You know what is also strange? when I make a backup in cwm i get an error saying: "no /sdcard/.android_secure found.
Skipping backup of applications on external storage...backing up cache.... no sd-ext found (normal, dont have ext partition on my sd's)
generating md5 sum....backup complete!" I am able to run recovery with this though. Still not able to install any rom's I have tried to install via cwm/xrecovery...not even a 2.1 rom
Did you download on PC and then transfer to SD-card or did you download directly to your phone?
I expierences that once also with a ROM downloaded directly to my phone.... a fresh new download on my PC instead fixed it, and then transfer to phone via USB-cable.
Can you open the zip-file on your computer (just to see if it's valid)?
don#t copy your rom in a file folder
only copy the zip to SD
like /sdcard/

wen you back up your phone with cwm its back up also your app on your sd ext if you have so if you dont have sd ext then it say no sd ext found
thats nomal i think
for md5 check there is many software to calculate md5 just search on google and download on your pc
then calculate md5 of you downloaded zip on your pc
then copy the zip on your sd card then calculate md5 of the zip on sd card
if its comes dif then previous one then your zip isnt copyed well
I downloaded on my PC first. I tried with rom on my sd card directly as well...tried with 3 sd cards (class 2/4)...all the same problem. Somehow xrecovery/cwm can not open these files...but I am able to install small update files (also when they are in a directory on my sd) for instance cwm recovery/dual-recovery.zip ...same file extension, same way of coping to my sd...somehow it must have something to do with the files/sd card but what?? Went back to stock via seus...xrecovery via aais, installed cwm via xrecovery...same problem still...I am going insane...I really want to be able to install a custom rom

wen you able to install small update files then its not a problem with cwm or recover or any baseband
i think wen you copy your big zip files its not copied well
for be sure its copied well check md5
start from here for troubleshoot the problem
Edit : operating sys on your pc ?

I will google now for md5 calculator..no experience with it but I know what you mean so I will try...I am using xp pro
edit: ok md5 does not match between file on my pc and file on my sd..really do not know why but looking for it..maybe I should extract and then create the archive directly to my sd card or something? any help is welcome!
Edit2: I finally found a solution, it was simple in the end.. I formatted sd again, downloaded files again en checked them after moving to sd. All is fine now, I am running gintonic by slade..perfect so far! Thread can be closed. Thanks for your help!
how do you disconnect your phone from the PC again?
Remember to use eject usb on the computer first.
Hey guys, I recently got the Galaxy SII. Its rooted running Android 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD.DUKJ1.
My issue is trying to run ZIP files from my SD card using ClockWorkMod. I put the files into the SD card root folder and then boot into CWM. When I go run zip file from SD card there is nothing there. CWM cant see any of my files.
I have sucessfully booted ZIPS by placing them in the Phone folder instead of the SD card folder. If I go into My files and then under sdcard/external_sd I can see the file I put on there. CWM just refuses to see these files. When I connect my phone I see 2 folders, Card and Phone. I am putting these zip files in Card. I assume this is correct? Can anyone help?
Cheers
mount ur int sd card
Thanks for the reply, while waiting for a reply I unmounted the SD card, formatted it and then remounted it. I dropped another zip file, once again made sure I could see it in file manager and it was there. Booted in CWM, went to install zip file, went to ext_sd folder and it still says no file found. Under storage the SD card is listed there. Any ideas?

Sounds like you are using version 4.x of CWM, this does not support native updating from dual memory (So it only ever looks at phone memory, while you can manually mount and then update it's not as simple a process and often steps get forgotten)... if you just update to the newer CWM you will see another option appear on the list (apply update from internal memory)... making it much clearer and easier to update. (Or just use your phone memory to hold the zip files, it really doesn't matter that much)
I think you are right, it says v4.0.0.2. Would someone be kind enough to point me to where the latest version is?
Edit- nevermind I think I found it.
Thanks guys

This question is not relevant, as he is referring to Recovery Mode. (Debugging is only optional through normal OS, and can not be changed in recovery without rebuilding the kernel)
Everything is all good guys, the new version of CWM allows me to boot from my SD card and it installed ICS perfect. Thanks again
I tried to install revolt jb rom , did the wipes but it didn't install properly
The screen buttons wouldn't work, so I went into recovery and totried install my back up off my internal memory but it wouldn't find it ? Lucky I had wanam rom on the Sd card I istalled that.,
when I've checked it looks like all my files are there on the internal memory but it won't recognize then,this is the same in recovery. Any ideas how to access my internal memory again?
I've tried searching but am away from my computer so it's not easy.
Very difficult to understand your post .
kemeys ???
You say
Off my internal memory but it wouldn't find it ?>>>>
You say
did the wipes
Logic says you wiped the backup or part of it .
Root with the exact same recovery you used .
jje
All the file are still on my phone , it just won't find them, I managed to locate then with root browser lite , but recovery can't find them.
Typing this on my phone, so you'll have to excuse the typos.

update
I've just plugged my phone into the computer, it looks like all my files are still on the internal memory card, but they've been put into a folder lablled 0, just got to figure out how to access that folder on the phone or better still on the recovery. No problem find it on the phone now, just can't access it from recovery.
If i can get into the folder in recovery I should be able to restore my back up, I tried to copy and paste the back up into the clockworkmod backup folder, it copied, but failed the MD5 test when trying to restore.
Update: copied the cwm back up to the external sd card and it worked, so I'm back where I started from, just got to sort out my files and delete any duplicates.
I have a Nabi 2 that was rooted almost a year ago to gain access to the Google Play store.
My needs have changed since then and I wanted to restore it to factory settings.
The original root was performed by a friend that I am no longer in contact with.
If I boot normally the Nabi is stuck here:

I have managed to get it to boot to TRWP by pressing the power and + keys. I see this:

There are no images to "restore" under the restore tab. This is what I see:

I am hoping someone can provide me with a kernel file or some tips on how to restore the machine to it's 'out-of-the-box' configuration.

Any help really appreciated.
There is a lot of info here that can help get you going .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Fuhu_nabi_2
after you get it going make a back up and STORE the back up on the pc would be my suggestion .
Parts you might have questions about feel free to post
include as much info as you can as this can help make it easier to understand the problem
IE,
TWRP Recovery installed 2.xx
I am on Version 2.3.xx release keys
ect

I think if I understand correctly, I should be able to restore the factory image using the restore function of TWRP.
In my case there is no backup there for me to utilize.
I put some files on a 16Gb sd card to see if the restore function would see them but it still shows up blank.
I checked the box that says "mount SD card" but I do not see the files.
I am sure it it something I am doing wrong.
I have posted pictures of what I see.....just in case I am not describing it correctly.
Thanks!
see if you have a system folder
in twrp -under mount, put a check in system
then back out of mount
now click on Advanced/file manager/
Scroll down to Sytem - tap it to enter it .
IF you can see that its still in tact then try factory reset
Factory Reset is under the WIPE menu .

I found the folder SYSTEM and clicked on it.
I do not see any files on the right side and I only another folder called LOST+FOUND on the left side.
If I enter LOST+FOUND I also see no files on the right.
Can I copy the required files into the SYSTEM folder from a SD Card?

When you say use TWRP RESTORE you are talking about the button on the home screen labeled RESTORE right?
If I go into RESTORE as described above I have the option of using EXTERNAL SD or INTERNAL STORAGE.
No matter which I choose there is nothing showing up in the PACKAGE TO RESTORE area.
The last picture in my original post shows exactly what I see when I go into RESTORE.
It is like the a backup was never done or somehow got erased.
Any ideas?
Thanks Eric

what I was saying is that if you download something from the wiki like 1937 put that TWRP back up on your External SD card inside of the TWRP folder
then use the Restore function in TWTP.
it will show up along with data boot system etc.
you can just Restore system .
use your pc. place the back up on ext sd card .when finished place the external sdcard back in to nabi.
then boot in to twrp /use Restore and you should see it.(just checkmark system ) swipe to do the function
exit and reboot nabi

I am sorry I sound like such a tool. A lot of this stuff is very unfamiliar territory for me.
Here is where I at:
I downloaded 1937stock.zip
I placed a copy on the SD card and copied that to the SYSTEM folder.
Went into RESTORE and did not see anything pop up.
Then I unzipped the file and copied those individual files to the SYSTEM folder and the same result.
Then I looked at your post again and it said put it in the TWRP folder.
Where is the TWRP folder? Should it be in the root folder?
The only place I saw a TWRP folder is within another folder called SDCARD. That folder can be seen from the root folder. However the contents of that folder change depending on what mount options are selected.
I am a little confused here about mounting and the folders named EXTERNAL_SDCARD and SDCARD.
Can you enlighten me a little on the difference between these two?
Should the 1937stock.zip file remain zipped or do I have to break the files out individually when restoring them?
And finally where should the TWRP folder you mentioned be located?
Thanks!
Think of Twrp restore function as a windows restore point
think of internal sd as widows primary hard drive(main OS is here)
think of External sd as a windows hard drive 2
you do not want to copy anything to system. you want to let TWRP do it for you .
1st thing you want to do is Extract the zip to the pc desktop in its own folder
then take the folder from the desktop and place it on the External sd card
then place the EXT.sd card in to the nabi2
Boot nabi in to twrp
click on Restore
here is a example of how it should look on the External sd
/twrp/backup/FOLDER TO RESTORE HERE
if you look in restore you will see the option for twrp to look at internal or xternal sd card for the back up .

I did exactly as you spelled out above. Unzipped 1937stock and put the files in a folder on the SD card that looked like this /twrp/backup
I verified the contents of the SD card while in my PC. It had 9 files in it. 2 boot* files, 2 data* files, 3 recovery* files and 2 system* files.
I put the SD card in the Nabi, made sure SD card was mounted and again verified contents of EXTERNAL_SDCARD with File Manager.
The files were all visible with the File Manager.
When I go to RESTORE it still shows up blank. If I click either internal or external storage, it makes no difference.
It is almost though RESTORE is looking for the files in a completely different path.
The only options in the RESTORE function are the sort buttons on the bottom of the screen and the two radio buttons on the top for internal or external storage.
Can I move the folder from the SD card to internal storage?
Would it make a difference?
What is the default path TWRP uses if internal storage is selected?
Or is the box on RESTORE screen supposed to populate with a tree that I can navigate to a specific folder?
For me it is just plain blank no matter what I press.
Similar to the picture in my first post.
Your instructions seem pretty straight forward. I double checked my steps but no dice.
Any ideas?
Thanks

lets try this
check an make sure that the External SD card is formatted in fat32
you can use the pc to do this
now place the External SDcard back in to the nabi
boot in to Twrp and choose the BACKUP function make sure that it is going make the backup to the external s card.
(the goal is to see if twrp is working)
IF this works then you should see a new TWRP folder on the external SD card
now go back in to RESTORE to see if you can see the back up you just made to your External sd card.
ps: yes you can move the TWRP folder to the internal sdcard if you wanted
Twrp will work from both Sdcards

Ok you are 'da' man....good plan of attack.
I formatted the card, fat 32, just to be sure.
Put card in Nabi booted and mounted SD Card
Ran backup and it did create files on the card.
It also created a timestamped folder
I assume you want me to replace all those files with the file from the stock zip package correct?
I did replace all the files in that backup folder with the files from the stock package in preparation.
I do not want to proceed until you let me know if I can pull that trigger.
I am only committing the SYSTEM files?
Do I leave DATA & BOOT unchecked?
Does this process remove TWRP and make it completely stock? That was my goal.
If I do get back to stock will I then be able to participate with the regular OTA updates that I read will bring the Google Play store on the device natively?
Thanks for your continued and rather quick responses! :highfive:

1st I would want you to keep a copy of that back up you just made on your pc <just incase we need something from it in the future>
Also keep it on the SDCARD
on your pc find that TWRP folder you just made
and add the folder you first tried to it
Example TWRP/BACKUP/BACK UP UP I MADE
TWRP/BACKUP/The one I downloaded
put card back in nabi boot to twrp
go in Restore and look for "the one I diownloaded" folder
uncheck all except system
swipe for the function to work
then it should ask you to REboot
Fingers crossed GOOD luck ..lol
Edit We will want it to update by its self
As of now you have a ICS(ice cream sandwich version of android) Currently we are up to jellybean 4.1.1
the tricky part for me was going from ICS to JB because I had missing Files that it wanted to update
also the Boot and Recovery is Diffent between the 2.

Dude your killing me....I did what you said above and rebooted and BOOM!
IT WORKS AGAIN!
It went through the OUT OF THE BOX setup. Yes!!!......BUT there is one big problem.
It will not see my wifi card.
If I try to turn on wifi via the nabi control panel it just stays off. The on screen switch appears to work but if I navigate to another screen and then back the switch is marked OFF again. No AP's show up in the access list.
Do I have to install a patch?
I noticed that TWRP is still installed.
And Thank you a million times over for getting me to this point!
before We mess with the wifi - some things to try
Are you broadcasting SSID? Wifi protected set up ?
Un power your router wait 1 minute then Repower it.
If that's not it then
Reboot in to TWRP
go in to wipe
only wipe*
cache and dalvik cache -* Nothing Else *.
Reboot nabi

No success. I have a number of AP's beside my own in this area that I can usually see.
I even turned on the hotspot on my phone and placed it very close and it could not pick that up either.
The on screen wifi switch behavior is still the same.
Did the two cache wipe things as well and no luck.
Should I have chosen a different stock***.zip? I see the Wiki has about 10 different flavors under the STOCK section.

Sorry man, no dice
It is doing the same thing. When you go to switch the radio on, a dialogue box come up that says "Please wait while loading", with a round swirly thing spinning. It looks like it is trying to initialize something but when the dialogue box closes I don't see AP's. Funny thing is the bluetooth radio switch stays on while the wifi switch will not.
ok Reboot to TWRP
go to mount
choose data - then back out
go in to Advanced/filemanager
then click on data then misc
then go to wifi
on the right you will see wpa_supplicant.config
tap it
on next screen choose Rename File
on next screen type .bak
so it looks like this
wpa_supplicant.config.bak
hit enter on the screen keyboard
next screen
Swipe to confirm
Reboot the nabi .
check to see if wifi works

Haha ummm, download a ROM to an SD card (buy a cheap small one if you don't have one, to save yourself in situations like this), put it in, install that beast.

What carrier you have doesn't matter... all versions of the G3 has an sdcard slot, which you can use if you have an external sdcard. It supports up to 128GB.
OP, just download a new ROM file on a computer and put it on a microsd. TWRP can install it from that.
SDCARD
when did verizon get a external sdcard?i havent seen any external sdcard vs985
edit:nevermind you are right
hey guys, I did the same as the OP. I tried loading an OS onto an SD card and I cant it to mount in TWRP. what am I doing wrong??

After i flashed it from the ext sd, all my syst files are on my sd card... Its only 8gb and im running low on space... Should i install the zip onto my int and gp to twrp, wipe the ext then flash from the int?

After you've flashed the zip, you don't need to keep that zip on your phone at all anymore. The OS is installed and you're all good. I mean, you should keep it on an external sd, in case something like this happens again - but you don't have to. If you're low on space, delete the original zip, but make a backup in TWRP - that is more handy to have anyway.

Is this the same with any downloads such as roms , addons, modems, hotspot provisions and the like, once they are in TWRP Recovery can I delete them from my phone /sd/ downloads and they remain in TWRP?
They aren't in TWRP recovery, they are installed into your phone, replacing stuff that was already there. The zip archives are just downloaded so TWRP can be used to install (flash) them. Those archives don't run in your phone. You can delete them and re-download them later if you ever need to flash them again (not likely).
Format your SD cards as fat32 - you'll need a tool to do so (just Google it, or look on this forum in the TWRP thread). Alternatively, you can use the "push" command from a computer through ADB to send a file directly to your phone's internal memory. You can Google that up as well. Actually, I did that one for you...
