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 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.
So I tried installing ARHD 11 (from 9.2) and apparently it did some weird thing where the sdcard will now mount somewhere else. I could see my original sdcard from CWM recovery, but a different location when I view the sdcard from my computer.
In short, I have no ended up with no ROM (completely formatted) and nothing on my sdcard. I tried "mount sdcard" from "mount and storage", but it does not read on the computer (I've actually never been able to get this to work). Also tried using the toolkit, but it does not see the device. I just need some way to get files onto the sd card through recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: fixed via adb push
Same here
I've been stuck with this problem for over a week now, spending hours searching. Nothing comes up,

hi i just bought a samsung mega 6.3 in indonesia, it's a 16 version but i didn't check it before i root it, however i seem to remember when i plug it onto my computer it was 11 or 12 gb storage
so after rooting using guide in this thread " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355680&page=3 ", when i plug it on my computer it shows only 128 mb storage, why is it happening? and if i checked setting - more - storage it says "8 gb (why 8 gb instead of 16 gb or 12 gb?).
if i open application manager from setting - application manager it says 352 mb used out of 12 gb free.
I used odin 3.07 to flash vcoreroot-v2.tar, followed by original kernel KERNEL-XSE-I9200XXUAMEE-1369705836.tar, followed by cwm recovery v6.0.3.2 - i9200-cwm-recovery
please help me. thank you so much
oh and the storage on the pc is empty without any folder, and i can't copy files onto it...
please helpppppp
The internal storage ( sdcard ) is only a folder on your data partition ( /data/media ). The entire 16GB is not allotted to your sdcard. It is shared. So you will not see the entire 16GB when you mount your sdcard on your PC. So no worried there. Also make sure your usb debugging is on before connecting your phone to PC.
Regarding root, the easiest method is to flash cwm recovery and then flash the SU zip file. If you use twrp recovery, the recovery will do the rooting for you. Just remember to reboot to recovery first after flashing the twrp recovery, else recovery will get overwritten by stock recovery.
I suggest, you flash your stock rom again and re-root. You could also try this app to root your phone using windows.

I am a complete noob and got my lesson for messing up with my phone. I have an already rooted SGH i777 and was trying to flash OMNI Rom for 4.4. I wiped emmc by mistake. Although I did back my stuff up, they are no where to be found.I get cannot mount SD card error through CWM v6. I read somewhere that this is resultant of having no operating system in my phone anymore.
My phone is not recognised by computer. But I can access an external microSD card while booting recovery using CWM. Please help me as I am completely lost without my phone. You patience is deeply appreciated.

If that's the case, you should be able to put a rom on the micro SD card and simply flash it in recovery. You may have lost your backups, but if you can flash a rom via the SD card you ought to be fine.
Let us know if you need any more help,
sent from the i777
I'm not clear what you mean by "I wiped EMMC." Can you please describe exactly what you did, and describe the options you used if it was through recovery, which I assume it would have been.
If you put the phone into download mode while Odin3 is open on the desktop, does Odin3 recognize the phone?
FYI: TWRP file browser sees internal memory as "emmc". From the advanced wipe menu of TWRP, exists the option to wipe internal memory.
edit: really annoyed that I am limited to eight thanks at a PC, which has a much more comfortable interface than the XDA app, where I have unlimited thanks to offer my peers.
This is what happened
Dear all,
Thank you for your help. This is what I did. I tried to install Omni ROM for 4.4. I I downloaded the .zip file for the ROM and Gapps package zip and SuperUser zip. I went to CWM based recovery mode and wiped data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and in advanced wipe dalvik cache.( I did not run any wipe script as mentioned in this forum. I would have avoided all this if i actually paid attention and read the correct way of flashing here.)
I then went on to mounts and storage and did format/cache , system, data and preload. But also format /emmc
After that no ROM could be flashed and I could not access any recoveries. I realised my error when I saw the log that No files are found and couldnt open directory.
Update :
My phone is not recognized by Odin v1.85 and I also put a SAMSUNG_UCLE5.zip for SGHi777 given by a friend on to a microSD card and tried flashing that ROM from external microSD.
The log says:
I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
I tried to partition just to see if it works. This time the log says
I:Can't format unknown volume :/external_sd. I never had an external sd card, but I gather that the system was partitioned in such a way that one chunk is considered external_sd.
Odin doesnt recognise it in download mode. I tried every USB port, changed data cables, tried different drivers available on Samsung website.
Please tell me I didn't ruin my phone. Any help is deeply appreciated.

This is beyond my level of understanding. I'm not sure what block 1p1 is. All of the partitions are designated as 0px where x is a number 1-15~.
I assume you've tried all the variables to get Odin to recognize the phone in download mode. Since Odin doesn't recognize download mode, I don't know of anything else to do but send it to someone with jtag equipement. It'll cost you maybe 40 or 50 bucks, but at least you can get your phone back. The person most trusted in the forums here for this sort of repair is Josh at Mobile Tech Videos.
Hi!
Yesterday i got my wifes old S3 because she has an S5 now.
As Android 4.3 Original FW was installed i´ve rooted the phone using Odin 3.09 and CF-Autoroot which worked flawless.
Then i´ve flashed TWRP Recovery (newest version) using also Odin.
So everything is working well but i can´t mount any partitions in the recovery to connect the phone via usb and push roms or other data to it.
I get the following error message: Unable to find storage partition to mount USB
I´ve tried CWMTouch and TWRP - both are not able to mount any partition.
Plz does some1 have a conclusion for my problem?
Thx in advance!

Everyhting is working fine but i can´t mount the internal sd card for xmpl to move a rom file to flash via usb to the phone
You wrote first: can't mount any partitition. Now it's only sdcard0. Can you write to sdcard0 and extSdCard within the running system, fe downloading from internet?

i can´t mount any partition in recovery but i only need the internal sd card for flashing roms and some other stuff...
when the rom is booted i can write to internal sd card without any problem
as i don´t own an external card i can´t test this...
If there aren't any important data on sdcard0:
try in TWRP fix permissions and wipe internal storage.

Make a backup.
If your system is ok, you only loose temporary files in /Android and TWRP-settings in /TWRP. And in daily use, downloads, photos... of course.
I´ve tried to push a rom now via adb and twrp sideload option but windows doesn´t recognize the device
adb usb
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Edit:
Meanwhile i´ve flashed a 3 part stock rom using odin and i´ve also re-partioned but still the same problem
wicked!
