Flash boot new kernel, enter recovery mode (tap volume down on boot till recovery loads), goto advanced, mount SD card to PC, drag and drop ROM to SD (if using ICS kernel use ICS ROM etc) unmount SD on phone goto install zip from SD then find your ROM and install

Hello, if I want to install a new kernel, which file do I have to move on my SD card ? I downloaded a tft file, when I rename it to .zip, there are lots of .sin files. So do I have to put the whole .tft (in a .zip format) on my SD card or kernel.sin ?

Put it anywhere. It's recommended to make its own folder so you could know where you've put it.
PROTIP:
There are instructions in kernel thread. Files are already in required format and you shall not change their extention!

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).

Tried mounting it from recovery. No luck :|
Is it a problem with the phone itself?
Did it gave an error or nothing happened
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
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.

Hi, as I said before, I've already tried sticking other SD cards in my phone. They aren't being read, but when I try to put them into other phones, it works OK.

Hey there, I'll look into this, though I doubt I'll be doing all of this since I'm not very proficient in doing all those commands and whatnot :|
Anyone else have any other ideas before I start doing mad scientist stuff to my phone?
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.

He means, place it on phones storage, and not the SD card. Just use the USB cable and transfer it from your PC (Or Mac )

You should have put "install zip from sd card" and not "apply update from sd card" in recovery I guess.
Oh well...you didnt have CWM!
Atleast try to do that now and see if it works.

Download the CWM5 zip into your SD card if you could get it into your mem card. Go to recovery. Apply update. Select cwm5 recovery. Reboot into cwm. Clear everything. Select install zip, then the rom you want to install. You're done.

Do you have CMW5 installed in your phone? If no, you should install it using odin first and after you can install zip from sd card using CWM5. ;D
To install CWM5 you can follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552695
thanks sir..^^...
ill try to do what u said,
hmmm....is it ok for my phone to remove sd card without safely removing it, so i will use instead a card reader to put the CWM5 there?...i really cant open my phone and kies cannot read it...
odin can detect my phone but,it always fail saying"usb error code 5" ...
Put the CWM5 file in your SD card and install update from zip, select the folder and file.... and... done!
After install CMW5, you can install your prefer rom from SD card using Install Zip From SD Card.
Good Look!
XD
Sir,sorry to ask you again....is it safe to remove sd card without safely removing it?...
even it is turned off..
i am just confused,,i am very noob at this,,,..
thanks a lot ...^^..
If your phone is turned off, no problem!
ok.^^..
thank you so much sir..^^..

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

There is always the possibility of flashing back to stock via Odin, it takes some time but is always a save way, if everything seems to be wrong^^
