Clockworkmod Problem - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

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

[Q] Freaking 3 birds

I was using Vegan then decided to get gingerbread.
Issues
1. I downloaded the new ROM and placed it into the root and made sure it transfered then I powered down.
2. I did not get this option Using the volume keys to navigate up/down in the menu highlight "Apply Internal update.zip" if you copied the update.zip to the internal memory or "Apply External SDCard update.zip" . the only option I have is "apply sdcard:update.zip. Is the the correct on? When I select it and then do yes i get. ( no such file or directory)" Instalation aborted". So, then I go to install zip for sdcard, choose zip, and then yes. Then reboot and then it boots into stock. Tnt works
3. I then install CMW and it works.
4. I follow steps to install ROM form http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
5. after install i do not get “install zip from sdcard complete” my say " install form sd card complete. Does this matter
6. I did not have these problem when I orgicanlly put on Vegan, now I cants even get Vegan. It say Vegan is installed, then i reboot and stuck at 3 birds again.
I am having the same issue no matter what ROM I try.
PLEASE HELP, I AM ONLY ABLE TO USE THE STUPID STOCK AND IT IS POINTLESS TO HAVE A GTABLE TO USE STOCK
I have no idea whether this will help you or not, but when I booted up my tab last night it was stuck on the three birds. I had to boot into recovery and do wipe user data/factory reset to fix it.
I am not using cwm or vegan...so again, this may not help your situation.

[Q] Total wipe for CM7RC1 install?

Hi- I updated my rooted 2.3.4 Droid X2 about a week ago to CM7RC1 and have been enjoying it since. One thing that surprised me is that the upgrade appeared to have kept certain configurations that I had, such as the custom wallpaper I was using. I had followed the instructions on this site to the letter, which included wiping data and cache and dalvik cache. I would have thought performing those steps would have cleaned any custom configs/settings off the phone?
The reason I ask is that I'm still encountering some unique bugs I had before the upgrade. I'd really like to perform a true wipe and clean install of CM7RC1. I would presume that would include some type of format of my sd card, since there are so many android file structures on there. But I don't see how I could do that since I need the CM7RC1 and Google App zip installs (as well as the patched BSR apk) on the SD card. I'm not even sure I could boot to the BSR I now have on there if I formatted my SD card.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. Is there a way to do a real system reset with my existing CM7RC1 install? Will the power button + volume down technique really work, or will it keep my custom settings?
Sorry for the long post. Thanks again for any help!

This removes mods too, right?
Yes, if done properly it removes all MODs. It also Formats System and flashes a fresh CM7 build.
I honestly don't think a format of :internal end external sdcards are necessary. Just format the .android_secure folder if you want. What's important is wiping system data and app data. I understand that is what you did but I recommend doing a wipe of data, cache, and DALVIC (which is part of why you were experiencing bugs and the wallpaper was there) before sbfing. I do it again once I install a fresh rom as well just to be safe.

Its certainly not necessary but I think he said something in the first post about wanting to format it.

[Q] DNA root issues? Stuck

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

you say you 'failed at the last second' when trying to install CM10... what actually happened?
you say you can access android recovery so I would initially try a factory reset (on the first page of recovery) 'wipe data/factory reset' and see where that gets you
report back if you require any more help :good:

I tried the wipe data/factory reset and all it does is finish up and upon reboot just hangs at the boot screen.
As for what actually happened when it failed, I got the following error
"set_perm: some changes failed"

You could try a fresh install of the CM10 rom that you have installed but first you need to do a full system wipe (go into recovery>select 'mounts and storage'> format the following >>> data, system, osh, preinstall and cache)
What else do you have installed on your sd card (that you can see in Recovery)... if the install fails again you're going to have to go back and instal a rom that you know will work (if you haven't got any on the internal sd card you are going to have to install one)

You're going to have to install it on your phone first. As your not able to start up your phone you are going to have to take your external sd card out of your phone and, using a card reader, install the rom that you want on your external card from your pc and then put it back into your phone and access recovery again.
I would recommend that you do a full system wipe before installing the Rom. After you have done the wipe go to 'install zip from sd card' and instead of selecting 'install zip from internal' just select 'choose zip from sd card' and you should be able to see the rom that you installed on your external card.

If this were me now, I would be trying a stable proven rom like CM7.2 (link here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=olympus)
Repeat the installation process and make sure you're doing a full system wipe first.
Do not install Gapps with rom... let's get your phone working first. (just reread your post... after you've installed the rom your phone should not reboot itself?)

wiping is done before flashing not after flashing !!
proper wiping include wipe data/factore reset wipe cache format system and wipe dalvik cache.
next tiime use philz recovery and chose the option clean wipe for installing new rom option.
for the time being just do the wipe i mentioned before and flash any roms available in your sdcard / ext sd card.
if you dont have any roms on your sd card then try adb push rom.zip to the root of sdcard. read more / google adb to know how to push files to sd card. this wont flash the rom.zip but will copy files to your sd card so that you can flash them through the recovery...
