Issues after flashing recovery img - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

So, I'd gotten as far as installing the zip packages off the SD card, however I accidently unzipped the gapp zip onto the SD card instead of the .zip its self.After rebooting it just kept looping the end of the Cyanogen Mod visual.
The recovery mod im using is the recovery-nozomi.img
I thought it wouldnt be a problem and I could just mount it through the recovery menu, but i get this error:
E:unable to open uns lunfile (no such file or directory)
I've looked around google and the forums but I've not found anything particularly useful to me, I'm fairly new to this.

try to redownload the gapps on your pc, then after downloading connect your phone to pc then power on your phone, then go to recovery, (press volume up when beep) then a menu will appear, go to mount and storage, then go to mount usb storage, now youre on mass memory storage you can now transfer the downloaded gapps then just disconnect your phone (unmounting), then flash the gapps via recovery.

[Q] SGSII Stuck on reboot - couldn't find external SD on CWM

Hi I was on the last step of installing Cyanogen Nighly build 116 on my SGS2 and got to step 7 of the guide on their wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
but I couldnt find my external SD card on Clockwork mod recovery. I tried to reboot back to my normal samsung OS so I could use USB to put the 2 update zip files on my internal storage but the phone is now boot looping. I boot up to the samsung logo then the phone restarts.
What do I do please?
Hi again,
I have tried booting in download mode which does nothing but show me the android man withthe word Downloading... underneath (VolDown, Home, Power). I have tried booting back to Clockwork Mod recovery (VolUp, Home, Power) and I have tried messing around with adb to see if it sees any devices- which it does, it sees
304D19A75555E24E
but it doesnt accept adb push update.zip I guess because the phone is busy rebooting :S
My guess would be you've installed a different version of CWM recovery. Choose "Install zip from internal Sdcard" instead.

Hi
It says Clockwork Mod Recovery v4.0.1.4
It doesnt have an option other than install zip from sdcard
and it doesnt see the external sd card either.
I have
- reboot system now
- apply update from sdcard
- wipedata/factory reset
- wipe cache partitions
- install zip from sdcard
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
- advanced
- power off
I chose install zip from sd card
then chose zip from sdcard
and I get the internal listing of files on the internal phone storage but no access to the external sd card. There is a folder there called, external_sd but when I select it, it just says No files found. It shows this when the sd card is inserted and uninserted though.
Do you know any way I can put the update files on the internal phone memory from my PC? I have adb installed and the android sdk. but adb wont push files to the phone. I used to know a way to boot the phone with fastboot but dont remember how to do that any more
You need to tell it where to save the file if you're going to do adb push, i.e. adb push update.zip /sdcard/cm7.zip, but you might need to mount somewhere to store it in mounts and storage first for it to work.

ah but I cant get it to boot so I cant get it to mount. The closest I can get is getting adb to recognise it as a device while it is bootlooping (it only gets up to the Samsung logo then reboots)
I did try "adb push update.zip /sdcard/cm7.zip"
failed to copy 'update.zip' to 'sdcard/cm7.zip' : Read-only file system
The phone is still rebooting over and over. Out of curiosity, would CWM not give the option to install zip from the external sd card if the phone didnt have root?
I bought this phone from a friend and he said the phone did have root but I actually am not sure if it does. Would that also cause me not to be able to use adb to push the file because the internal sd card was read only?
Either way - how do I get the phone back to a usable state please?
I mean from within CWM recovery, which you said you can access (ADB should work there after 30 seconds or so).

booted to CWM - waiting for pc to notice phone exists so I can use adb...
... nothing is happening. (tried using mount usb storage too)
EDIT1: I rebooted CWM and when it came back - tada - windows noticed it. Ran the ADB command and the copy has worked over 36s.
Watch this space...
EDIT2: Got the phone to finally let me upload update.zip (the 116 nightly build from cyanogen) and gapps (for cyanogen7) using the mount option under Clockwork Mod recovery
installed update.zip
installed gapps.zip
rebooted and...
stuck at
Samsung
GALAXY S II
GT-I9100
/!\
``
nothing is happening, the phone doesnt boot... but CWM has changed colour to a pretty blue and I am now on v5.0.2.7. What am I meant to do next? I ran out of steps on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
Flash the update twice in succession, if the first one was quick.

yes your right, it was quick. I flashed it again - much slower this time and it seems to be working - I finally got off the stuck screen. Currently watching the new cyanogen mod 7 boot screen.
Big thanksometer - if your anywhere near me i'd buy you a coffee.

[Q] Need Help!!!

Hey...I hope this is the right section to post this in but..
I have a rooted viewsonic G tablet Bootloader 1.2 and I have CWM on it...well I flashed GTabCombOver (latest version) and i was getting frustrated because everything I would download would go onto the INTERNAL memory not to my micro SD card so I went into settings and erased all the content on the internal SD card and rebboted my Gtablet but now it wont go past the android part...it goes past the birds but then restarts...idk what to do please help i can boot into recovery but dont know what to do
So you are saying that you erased the Internal memory, meaning you erased your rom? If that is the case, and you can boot into CWM, select the 'mounts and storage' option from the main menu. Plug in the usb cable to your PC where you have a copy of the ROM. Then in CWM select 'mount USB storage'. That will mount the internal sdcard to your PC, where you can copy it over. When finished copying, unmount from PC, then unmount in CWM and press back. Then you can proceed to reinstall the rom like before.
If you just erased the /sdcard directory you could try wipe data/factory reset first and see if that will work.

[Q] Can't mount internal storage

So I was running Mean Rom just fine, and then a little while ago I decided to flash Paranoid Android. I ran the v3 superwipe, and it got stuck on /system as it usually does for me when wiping after I had a Sense rom. I rebooted back into TWRP, and it took about a minute and a half to load, and now it can't see the internal storage. It keeps failing to mount dev/block/mmcblk0p38. I tried to wipe internal storage and got that same error that it can't access dev/block/mmcblk0p38.
Is this a hardware thing what? Kinda perplexing.
Internal is most likely corrupt, go into recovery and select mount/mount usb and plug it into pc, it will prompt you to reformat. If not then try updating to the latest twrp if you haven't and mount to pc again

[Q] need to bring a file to the phone, no ROM installed

I've attempted to flash a newer version of cyanogenmod on my phone (10.1.3 to 11). I'm using TWRP 2.6.1.0
I can not boot because I've wiped the phone (dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache), and I suspect the ROM I have is corrupted but I can't connect it to my computer and transfer the file via USB because I have no ROM installed and can not boot. I also can't take the SD card (since there's non) and put the file that way.
My phone is Oppo find 5
My root file flashing was successful, but installation of the ROM cm-11-20140204-NIGHTLY has failed. I assume the file was corrupted, but I have no way to find out what it is.
I now realize my mistakes, like wiping the system unnecessarily.
Is there any way to get another file on the device? any other suggestions?
Also, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I was not able to find the right place. I apologize in advance.
Eyal,

Check that thread, set up adb and push a ROM to the internal sd of your phone via adb. You can use adb in recovery mode (I could in CWM, dont know about your recovry) so if you can boot into recovery, you can push the rom. (There is info on the thread about adb pushing/pulling)
Sent from my GT-S5660
Cwm has an option to mount storage to PC in mounts & storage menu
Check if twrp has the option
You can mount it that way:good:

[Q] Help! Internal USB Storage and SD Card Problem

Okay. Here's the thing. Let me try to break the story down:
I tried to flash the MIUI ROM. So basically, I followed the instructions to the best of my ability, but when it was time to flash the ROM itself, I got a Status 7, and installation aborted. When I rebooted, the screen was stuck on the Mi logo (which was peculiar since the installation aborted). It was taking a long time, so I assumed that, yep, bootloop.
So what I did was I flashed stock ROM using odin. Just the stock rom (ie, you have to repartition before flashing the miui rom). But one think I noticed before I flashed the ROM, was after I repartition through ODIN, the USB storage was 0.00b/0.00b. Several bootloops after, I finally got my phone working, but this time I can't access my USB storage. When I go to the task manager, it says 0.00b/0.00b. When I plug it in my PC, the only drive I see is the SD card (when there should be two, right?). PLUS, when I boot the phone and go to the media files (example, music app, gallery app etc.) it says I have no SD card inserted. When I do.
On screen, the notification says the USB storage is something, like unsupported and when I tap it, it says I have to format my USB storage. When I do tap format, it says that it's still checking the USB storage, and the notification comes up again. If it's imporatant, I also tried formatting the USB storage via CWM, but it says cannot mount /emmc. I ALSO can't find my phone on my PC now. The GT-I900 doesn't come up in my drives when I plg it in
I've tried flashing the stock PIT file, but to no avail. Please help. I just want a faster phone (hopefully via MIUI) or
Oh, and please bear with me. I'm a complete noob.
After re-partitioning, you need to wipe the partitions (/system /data (sdcard0). Make Backups and don't forget to flash a Rom/Kernel after wiping /system, because else your recovery will be lost.
I'll try to help you since I did installing MIUI v6 ROM by @blackra1n which also require resizing system partition.

Status 7 could be possible you were using older custom recovery when installing the ROM.

So, you were repartition using PIT file then install MIUI— failed, then now go back to STOCK ROM (stock firmware?), right?
Did you do repartitioning again to stock PIT version before do flashing the stock ROM?

Please don't do something careless with /emmc as it might risking your EFS which may loosing your phone info such as IMEI, WIFI, and other radio related data. Please try to repeat the procedure back to flashing stock ROM:
1) Turn on your phone and boot to download mode (home+volume down+power). Connect your phone to PC through USB cable. Run Odin on your PC.
2) Press PIT button and select the stock PIT. Make sure the "repartition" checkbox is ticked on Odin.
3) Press PDA or AP and select your suitable recovery tar file. CWM or Philz recovery should be fine but avoid using the very older ones. Make sure the "reboot" checkbox is UNCHECKED because we don't want the phone reboot to system when flashing is done.
4) Press start button on Odin. Wait for awhile, then if Odin said it's all done, disconnect USB cable and reboot your phone to recovery mode (home+volume up+power). Optional but recommended, keep pressing until first Samsung logo appear, then release power button. Release two remaining buttons if recovery screen appear.
5) Assuming you're using CWM, go to "mount and storage" then choose "format /sdcard0" or "format /internal-sdcard". If prompted for file system format, choose "FAT32" if possible. If not in the list, just select "default".
6) Optional, to make sure the internal storage can be recognized by PC (Windows), still in CWM go to "mount and storage" then select "mount mass storage". Connect your phone to PC and see if Windows recognize your sdcard. If so, open properties dialog for this sdcard and check if it is formatted as FAT or FAT32. If not, right click on sdcard and choose "format". Quick format should be fine, leave all settings to its default.
7) Now, before installing the stock ROM, make sure to format phone's partitions. From CWM, select "mount and storage" then choose "format /data", "format /cache", and "format /system". Next, you may install the stock ROM or else.
It adviced to remove your external sdcard prior perform the steps above to avoid confusion and prevent your external sdcard reformatted accidentally. Also, I hope you were making backups for /efs partition.
Have a try, and good luck as you may need it! [emoji1]
