Okay, so this is my first "manual" root experience and i've flashed the TWRP recovery and i've put the SuperSu and Busybox on the root of my storage. When i load into recovery mode, there is no "choose" option. There is only "apply from sd, internal storage, reboot, etc.." and when I select "apply from internal storage" it just says invalid operation and boots to the normal OS. HELP

try a different recovery like cwm or try reflashing the recovery
rename the recovery image to recovery.img so below code works
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hello all, I am a noob. I tried to install my first rom, OpenOptimus 1.48, from this tread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653
I followed the instructions, wich said to get the file on the sd card then partition the card, then I get my phone able to boot in colckworkmod recovery but nothing else, file not found for install the rom because the partition is formated.. We are c urrently 2 noobs that this happened at the end of the posts on that tread.
So this is a kind of catch-22, now the compuiter wont recognize the usb, wich is the best method to get it working again now ? I am currently trying to get adb, if someone knows the treads to look for I'll be happy.
Thanks from Canada
Eh, the instructions do not say any such thing like to put something on SD card and then format/partition it. Anyway,
Either download the SDK, connect the phone via USB cable and do
Code:
adb push openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip /sdcard/openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip
and flash it from recovery like the instructions say,
or simply remove the SD card from phone and use a card reader to copy it there in PC.
Just mount usb storage from recovery and connect it to pc. The card will be recognized and then copy the zip file.

at the first page, instructions looks like that :
"
4.Go to Advanced>Partition SD Card
512 EXT(Do not create it if you do not want a2sd)
0 Swap
Remainder FAT32
5.Go into the main recovery menu and select "wipe data/factory reset"
6.Go to Mounts and storage>format /system
7.Go into the main recovery menu and select "install zip from sdcard"
8.Select "choose zip from sdcard"
"
So then I got the file on , then formated, so no more recovery . I have clockworkmod 3.1.0.0 installed.
I am trying to get ADB working, will try that. But looking at the instructions, is it me that is not understanding them well enough or are they written strangely ?
Thanks ;-)

Yes, the instructions do say that, but instead of blindly following them you should have realized that after partitioning the sd card all data would be deleted.
Anyway, the way to do this is after partitioning, select mount usb storage in recovery and connect it to ur pc(while still in recovery). The card will be recognized and you can copy the zip file. Then you can flash the zip.

I assumed he already tried that and it did not work (b/c of the "now the compuiter wont recognize the usb" part of the OP). Anyway, if not, then that is obviously the most easy way to get the file there.
Man I think your stock rom should still be working. Reboot and it should boot into your previous rom. And USB should work. Even in recovery u can mount sdcard.

I got a sd-adapter...
Well, no usb-mount while in recovery, adb is complicated to install and so I went to the store and got a micro-sd adapter and a new card with more capacity. Then no more complication to install the rom to the card & phone..
Thanks folks
I rooted my s4 successfully and installed rom manager, super su.. etc. When I boot into recovery I don't get the options many instructions call for like "Install zip from SD".
All I get are:
reboot system now
apply update from adb
apply update from external storage
wipe data / factory
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Someone suggested I download goo manager, and install open recovery script but that made no difference, still the same options. And if I select "apply update from external storage" and target the rom, it fails on "verification.." and restarts.
Anyone have any ideas for me? I have the cm10 rom and gapps ready to go, just need to see "install from SD".
Thanks

HI guys, today I was trying to flash my gti-9000 from cyanogen 9 to cyanogen 10.1.3 and something went wrong. I was following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd. All went well till point 6 of custome recovery and then I restarted in recovery mode. Now, before doing all this I downloaded the cyanogen release on my phone (I don't have a sd card) so I tried to do
Select the option to wipe data/factory reset.
Select install zip from sdcard.
Select choose zip from sdcard.
but I get a "can't mount /sdcard". Now, still in recovery mode, I tried to mount it using adb ( adb shell mount /sdcard), but the computer doesn't seem to pick up the device when it is in recovery mode and I get a error: device not found. How do I get out of this mess please? I need to copy the rom on the phone and I don't seem to be able to do it in any way (needless to say if I switch my phone on it won't work)
thanks
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)

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:

Hi,
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A, and I installed TWRP and Magisk on it 6 months ago, and all was working fine until the last update of MIUI that was installed just yesterday. After that, Magisk had no more root access and TWRP was no more here. At this point I flashed again TWRP with ADB, and after rebooting on recovery, TWRP launched but it was unable to mount any memory, so I could not flash any file. After several tries and researchs on forum I ended up to wipe memory (also changing format file from EXT4 to EXT2 then back to EXT4). After that TWRP sees effectively the memory but I can't still flash any file as I just wiped memory. So I have to reboot on system to put files on the memory: doing that I have first all the different screens steps to setup MIUI from scratch. When all the phone is configured, I reboot in fastboot to flash again TWRP, then I reboot on recovery, and again TWRP is unable to mount memory. I tried this several times and tried many other things (removing the patern lock, setting just a PIN...) but nothing worked so far after several hours searching...
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Ok, I finally solved it. Here is what I have done:
First I strictly followed instructions from this tutorial:
Fix Unable To Mount Storage TWRP: If you are trying to factory reset your device using twrp recovery and it’s displaying unable to must data then follow the below instructions.
First off all remove pattern lock from device and add PIN lock/password as a security lock as shown in above method.
Still getting “unable to mount storage twrp error” then go to main menu of twrp recovery.
Click on “WIPE” option >> “Advance Wipe” >> select “Cache” >>click on “Repair or Change File System” >> “Change File System” >> click “F2Fs” and “swipe to Change”
Again Go back and select >> “EXT4” option >> “Swipe To Change”
Now repeat the same process with “System” option and “Data” option one by one.
After doing that you are free to wipe or factory reset your device without any TWRP error. This time it will not show the unable to mount storage in TWRP recovery.

Note that it wiped everything even OS.
So I downloaded the latest official ROM from MIUI website, and I copied the file to the phone with USB mass storage mode (still being in TWRP). I also put the LazyFlasher zip and Magisk zip. Then I installed the 3 zips at the same time, ROM first, LazyFlasher second, Magisk third.
After rebooting, and reconfiguring the phone, all works fine.
