I recently decided to explore custom ROMs. I installed ARHD for my one but recently decided to try out the GPe ROM. However after I downloaded the ROM and moved it to my phone, it wouldn't appear in CWM recovery. Is there any reason for it? I've copied it multiple times to multiple directories but it won't show up

Try directory '0'

I have the exact same issue? Rooted, twrp installed, the directories show up when I usb to my laptop but created Rom folder is non existent in recovery. Tried downloading Cleanrom straight from the device as well into the "downloads" directory. Downloads shows up in twrp but the Rom isn't there. But browsing "my files" on the device shows that it's there?
Reflash a 4.1.2 rom, copy all your stuff off the device to computer, delete all but rom zip on internal storage flash rom then copy back content
Keep it in the root of you memory. Should show up :thumbup:
Tried putting the .zip file in the root of the internal storage. To no avail. It is invisible. Nothing there at all. What gives?
I also have no such thing as a directory "0"?
Use a different SD?

Sorry..been away from HTC for a while..as in reflash my current ROM?
Did that...went in, wiped EVERYTHING...re-flashed current ROM (just a stock rooted ATT deodex) and its the same thing...the current ROM I'm running shows in TWRP..
But any ROM I've transferred via PC into internal memory, or downloaded straight from the device, is completely non existent...
the "ROMs" folder I created on my PC to the external memory (where I store the ROMs for easy access) is not there either.
Should I search GooManager for an updated TWRP or something?
Update: Wiped again and reinstalled TWRP fresh. Still have exact same issue. everything shows on the phones memory when i connect to PC, but loading up TWRP recovery they are not there. In any directory i select. I'm lost. I want to ROM this thing like crazy but I can't lol!!
OK...fixed it!!!
After a lot of digging it seems when I connect to the PC and look at the storage I DO have a "0" directory (only through the PC though, not in recovery). I opened the "0" folder, moved my ROM to a directory in that via PC, and voila! Now the ROMs show up in wherever I saved them as long as I open the "0" area first through the PC..
Now I just navigate to wherever I saved them (anywhere after double clicking "0" when connected to PC) and the zips are there and present and I can flash. Not exactly sure why this is but it worked for me!
so...in a nutshell...
1. Connect your One to PC.
2. choose "open to view files" (or if youre on a mac like me, android file transfer)
3. find the "0" folder/directory and open it
4. copy the .zip file of your desired ROM there
5. reboot into recovery and it should be there.
6. flash and enjoy!
Keep in mind this is for TWRP based recovery. I am not sure about anyone using CWM that has this problem.

Yes rename the zip file to update.zip but that should have already been done when you rooted your phone.
^ no. you never rename a rom.
Flash cwr
Reboot into cwr
Install zip from sd
Check out the noob guide (signature) for much more detail and steps.
You can do it from rom manager, but cwr still needs to be flashed.
I'm having an issue flashing a ROM via the sdcard zip file option.
I have (afaik) successfully installed CWM. Had an issue at first with it rebooting every 30 secs but reflashed the kernel and now it seems to work ok. However, when I try to flash a rom and go to the sdcard zip file option, it'll list several folders but not the ROM I want to flash. I have put the ROM on the sdcard in no folders (root folder) and am really at a loss.
I apologize in advance for any n00bish ways. I went through 2 cycles on iOS devices and decide to forgo the jailbreak cat and mouse chase and go android. I haven't regretted it yet. But I could really you some advice on this problem. Really looking forward to getting my phone rooted.
Much Love in Advance

All I know to say is if you put a .zip file on the sdcard you should be able to see it from cwm recovery. When you boot the phone normally can you see the file in file manager?
Which ROM are you trying?
And are you putting the file on the phones internal sdcard or an external sdcard?

I was trying the unnamed ROM -- I just have it on the sdcard in the phone. I see it fine when I plug it in and look at it through windows. What file manager are you referring to?
I have to go to work but later on tonight I'll probably try reflashing CWM and see if that helps.

Any file manager will do, there its one app named "My Files" that came with the phone. If you can see the file from that file manager you should be able to see it in cwm recovery.

I found it. Apparently, what appears to be the main folder in windows is actually the /externalsd folder. Found it in the stock file manager and was able to copy over the file and get it rooted. Thanks for your help!

Every time, I download a rom it won't go straight to my sd card. When I'm in TWRP recovery, it doesnt show that I install the rom in my download folder. I am running a rom now, but I want a different one, what should I do.
Well... Just select the desired path when you download your preferred ROM.
Are you using your computer to download your ROMs or your phone?

I use my phone and the computer to download Roms. When I connected my phone to the computer, the Rom I install, on my computer, won't go the to my sd card. It says that the Rom is there on my computer, but not in TWRP recovery( Sd Card)
Why don't you create a folder on your phone named like this : 1X+ and transfer every ROMs you want to install in this folder only?
This is what I have done on my phone and it's the very first folder I have in TWRP Recovery, from there in recovery when I click on Install the folder 1X+ is right there on the very first line and any ROMs to flash inside. All I have to do is select and swipe to flash.
Maybe I just don't get what you are trying to explain to us.... if so Sorry.

Okay I have a folder, where I download Roms to. When I download a Rom, it won't go to that folder. I use different folders, the same thing happens, it won't show up in the folders, where I put the rom to.
Are you unzipping them before putting them in your folder?
They must stay as a .zip file otherwise they are not recognized.

It sounds like you are downloading the rom to your computer, plugging the phone in to the computer booted in TWRP and trying to install. If so this will not work. The zip needs to go on your phones SD card. Also you may be wiping incorrectly. What options are you selecting.

Anything I download won't go straight to my SD card (such as Roms and flashing mods, etc). When I download a Rom on my phone, it won't go to my SD card, so I can install it in TWRP recovery and when I try to download a rom it won't appear in TWRP recovery, in my download folder.
Hi people. I've been browsing a lot lately and Reading about roms, kernel, and other stuff related to customization of Android devices. I consider myself enough tech-savvy to understand technical things about hardware on this devices but when it comes to all the thing related to flashing roms and kernels and related things i have no clue of what you're talking about, lol.
However, I'm really interested on "installing" Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Player 4 just to see what happens and how flashing roms feels like, so i can try different roms later and enhance my device. But no matter how hard I try to find a tutorial about how to begin from total stock (as the device comes from the store) haven't been lucky finding one. As far as I know the first step is flashing a new kernet with CWM, so then i can flash the roms. But I'm stuck on Step One :s
So, if there's a link you can post here to help begin with this flashing trend it'd be great. Or if you can redact a "custom" tutorial for me, a total programming noob but interested as hell about modifying my GP4 that would be a thousand times better.
Also, feel free to recommend me kernels or roms or whatever you feel i could use
Thanks!!!
PD: not native english speaker
I just finished doing this exact thing myself, so its fresh in my mind First, BACK UP!! there are different methods with varying degrees of how much they back up, search the forum for them. Definitely backup the efs. Instructions are in the first post for the CM10 ROM. Then, I began by flashing a custom kernel using Odin. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the Tips and Tricks section of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27615927
Kernels can also be found in the appropriate section of that post. Make sure you get one for your device. All of them include CWM (ClockworkMod) which is what you need to easily flash a full ROM. The kernel won't actually effect your current operating system accept to maybe improve performance.
Next, download the ROM file(s) onto your device. ROMs are also in the above post. Again, make sure you get one for your device. Read the instructions in the ROM thread on how exactly to flash them, but the general procedure is to boot into CWM by holding some set of buttons during start up (probably power + volume up) and navigate the CWM menu to flash the ROM.

Now a question... When you tell me to make a backup, what exactly should I backup and with what program or app? Installed Titanium BAckup app and all i see is the option to backup individual apps. I expected to find something like "total backup of the device" or a similar thing that bacups the whole thing...

That's because you're suppose to flash it via CWM. If it's a tar file, you flash it via Odin. And you're not suppose to extract it, lol.

Is Terra Silent compatible with CM10??? Reading the thread of Terra Silent a user made a comment on this asking the developer (i guess) to make Terra Silent compatible with CM10.... :s
ok now i have some problems...
got to flash the Terra Silent Kernel. After rebooting everything was ok. Installed Rom Manager in order to install CWM. Rom Manager installed CMW and then came back to main menu. There was an option for creating a copy of the stock rom, thought it wolud be a good idea to make a copy. When i did it, phone went black and then reboted. after rebooting came back to the lock screen but changed language (spanish -> english). Algo noticed there was missing the google search bar. When entered to the apps menu there were a lot of icons of the android robot with an SD card symbol over. When clicked them it says that the apps are not installed on the system.
installed rom manager again, and went to recovery boot. flashed both cm9 and cm 10 included in the cm 10 thread. Now my playr is stuck in the recovery screen...
what do i do?

Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

I did this change, switched numbers and now i can see the files on the sd card. Only that before flashing CM 10 the access to the sd card was through a folder calles "externa sd", now the sd card files and folders are scattered on the home screen of any file explorer i acess the sd card with. It's not a big ideal but i dont like it.
When i edited the file you told me there was a 1 after where now says sdcard 1. Shoud that number be erased or better keep it?

I am having issues with TWRP and partition on the device. I downloaded a new rom, which is in /SDCARD/Download directory. I can see it just fine using Root Explorer.
When I boot recovery, my /SDCARD/Download shows files that didn't exist before. Not only is the newly downloaded rom file (with .zip extension) not there, an OLD rom file is, one that existed before I wiped it and started over from a TWRP backup.
Its almost like there are 2 entire partition living on the device. Oh and one other thing: I just started from scratch again (not a recovery) and already have 8GB of space taken. Its under the "OTHER" tab in Phone Storage.
Is there anyway I can just delete everything and start from scratch? Will installing a stock T Mobile RUU do this? If I go that route, do I need to unlock the bootloader again / root again?
Have you flashed to and from 4.2 roms? You can find the other files in twrp by going up to the root folder and then data/media. You could ruu to get rid of it but it'll pop up again if you flash from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 and back.

Well I think I found the problem. I was browsing my sd card using root browser looking for a Rom file (trickdroid.zip). I saw it before in the sdcard/download folder when using the file browser in twrp. But now it's not there.
So I start to pry through other folders and I notice a new folder: "0" zero. A folder called 0 with and entire sdcard folder structure within it. I look in the new download folder and there is.my missing file.
I'm curious how this new zero folder came to be. I have a theory, I did reinstall a Rom without wiping and I think that did it. I usually always wipe but specifically didn't this time because I have a twrp backup that I need to save.
I.take it the OS is now using the regular sdcard path? How can I tell twrp to look in that path for the backup (if I move it there)? When you hit restore in twrp I don't think it lets you browse for the backup. It assumes it's in the "default" spot...
