Lately I have been trying to install a ROM on to my phone, but I cant get the files onto my SD card. Keeps saying, "Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.". I just rooted the phone about a week ago and figured I would change the ROM. Also tried unblocking the files but got nowhere. Also tried other ROMs, nothing is working. But I can transfer files to and from my SD card with no error. Any ideas?

I can transfer pictures and such to and from the card, but not the ROM files. I am trying to install the 4.4 kitkat rom found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519988.
My device is a sprint samsung gs3 with CWM recovery. I would try putting the SD directly into my laptop but I dont have an adapter for my micro SD to use in my laptop.
Hey,
use another 4.4 rom like SlimKat or just use a SD card reader and not connect your phone

Please I need your guidance and help...
I Have a rooted Google Nexus S phone.
I formatted it and removed every operating system file I had... Now all I have is clockwerk mod menu .. I can't install any Android OS or anything ...
I want to get back to stock OS but rooted..
What shall I do ?
Please advise
Plus if anyone could add .. How to install Arabic fonts with stock OS
Thanks in advance
What do you mean by: "I can't install any Android OS or anything"? Have you even tried?
why did you format and remove everything if you weren't prepared for the next step (flashing a new rom)?
From the clockwork recovery menu you will be able to mount your SD card via usb on your computer. You can then transfer over a flashable zip containing a custom rom for your device and flash it to the phone.
Or you can research the procedure for restoring your phone to stock.
Find a ROM, either custom or stock rooted rom and flash.
maybe i wasnt clear ...
I downloaded a custom rom and i removed ev.thing else (Other custom OS) from my usb storage then I tried to flash it but it didnt work ...
I'm now stuck .. My PC isn't recognizing my Nexus S Storage well .. It's just an icon and when I try to open it i get "Please insert a disk then try again"..
I just want to mount the usb storage and add any ROM
Please can anyone tell me how to let my PC read the USB Storage so I can push the ROM in it and flash it ?!!
Please Advise
You're sure you're mounting the SD card from the Recovery menu... like the previous user said? Perhaps try another SD card...

I have a nexus s and the storage is built in ..
I need to mount the storage to my PC, so I can copy custom ROM and flash it on clockwerk mod...
I can't open the storage from my PC. And I'm mounting the SD from clockwerk mod.. But it's not working
OK ..
Now I have another issue guys.
I downloaded CM7 ROM and copied it to my Phone..
Now in clockwerkmod I'm getting this error :
Assert failed
//some lines
(status 7)
Can you help me bypass it ?
Thanx
Just try reloading stock firmware, It's probably a safer bet for the time being. you can always re-root afterward.
Try to use a PC with an SD reader, use an SD to micro SD converter, download CM or any other ROM, start your Nexus S in recovery and flash the ROM.
---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------
Try this...
1. Find a PC with SD Card reader
2. Get an SD to Micro SD converter (little card looks like SD card with a micro SD slot)
3. Download a ROM (safest bet is stock ROM from Google)
4. Mount SD card through card reader (with SD to micro SD converter)
5. Copy downloaded rom on root of mounted SD card
6. Put micro SD card back into your Nexus S
7. Start Nexus S in recovery (think it's hold volume down and press power key)
8. Use recovery to install the ROM you just downloaded to your SD.
If you don't have access to the Recovery menu I would not know how to solve this problem. But post here I am sure someone will know how to solve this.

Apparently the Nexus S doesn't have external memory... just 16GB of NAND. I didn't know this... what a pain.
@Waelt
You should post your problems with your device here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=880
You might have better luck with a solution.

I copied a lot of ROMs and custom ROMs into my storage. But I wasn't able to install most of them instead of 1 ROM "Stock ROM modified by MoDaCo 2.3.3"
I'm always getting error 7 on CWM..
Did you select "install zip from SD"? You are not supposed to select "apply update.zip". That usually causes that error.

Well I've been trying for like 3 hours and still no luck. Which is the root cuz I noticed when I plug the card into the computer and the prompt comes up to choose what I want (and I choose open folder to.view files) on the top of the screen it says g:\ and when I choose the open folder to.view file it turns the g to a E:/ so which is the official root. Anyway I tried putting the dload in both and nothing. I have no clue what else to do. This isn't the first time I do some Modding on electronic equiptment. I have my phone rooted and Ive installed android into windows phones...I also tried redownloading the file but nothing.
Do you have a SD card in the machine? Be aware that the internal memory on the Mediapad calls itself SD but it is not.

No. I remove the SD card and put it in my phone. After I move the file into the SD card I put it in the tablet.

Not sure why you are having these problems. Any reason why you don't just install one of the rooted ROMs found here?

I don't want to root the device. But ill look into it. When I open the SD card I'm suppose to install it in the external SD file in the card correct?

My card is already a fat32. I've tried it all. Can it be because my springboards build number is S7-303u and the file I downloaded is S7-302u?

My 64GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10 card was running fine untill recently i flashed Omni ROM !! Then i was not feeling good with onmi and i returned back to Stock Rom..then the problems started to occur.I didn't notice at 1st.after when i connected to my pc to insert some files the files does not WRITE !! it shows that the files are being copied but when i refresh it stays the same old files which was previously there before....
What to DO ????
Can any one Help !!!
Use sd formatting tool on your pc, if still the same then buy a new card.
I have the same SD card, and sometimes when I flash a new rom I have to format because my phone is unable to read it. I always reformat it with SDFormatter V4.0, you can try it.
Do a "FULL (OverWrite)" format to be sure.

My S3 has killed at least 3sd cards of mine. Phone would start dismounting and remounting the SD card by itself, eventually the card would stop working. I've given up using a SD card in my phone
Mine has the same 32gb card I put in the day I got the phone, 2 years ago. Not had any problems at all, I avoid using the internal storage to reduce wear on the emmc chip.

I tried formatting it with windows but no Luck !! In windows it shows it formatted but when I insert it back into phone it stays the same .It returns back to its previous state... The thing is that my card shows that it is copying or deleting files but after a while everything just goes back to where it was ..I still have my old files unable to do any thing...so only Read Only ... :'(
Thats it I am never flashing a non stock based ROM ever !!

This doesn't make sense to me: you should be able to remove the micro SD card, put the rom/gapps you want on it, reboot into recovery, navigate to the card and flash the rom.
I've done that hundreds of times, no reason why it can't work for you.

Another option:
adb push the file from your PC to the device.
Code:
ADB push <path\to\file.zip> <path/to/devicefoldername>
example:
Code:
adb push C:\Android\ADB_help.txt /emmc/Download
^^ the device path may be different according to what recovery your kernel uses.
Well hello first of all this is my first time posting and sorry if it's the wrong place
So well you see I have Lenovo A516 and I had a custom lollipop ROM installed in it and my sdcard and internal storage was already linked in this ROM so I was enjoying myself until it got bricked by itself so I went into twrp recovery and wiped everything too flash ROM but it wouldn't flash because my sdcard isn't getting detected and I get following errors
E: can't mount sdcard
E: can't mount internal storage
E:can't mount sdcard while loading GUI (something like that)
And yes I have read other threads about it but my problem isn't the same ....I removed my sd card yet I still get these errors and I can't download anything out of market like songs from browser or anything ..I will check my card if it's damaged but still I shouldn't get errors after removing it which I do get so plz help me ...I thought it might be a rom so I flashed allegro ROM using PC and a flash tool but still the problem exists

This is an issue that happens on multiple devices. Happened to me on some of my older phones. I always found that it was much more effective to store the rom .zip file on your internal storage rather than your SD card.

Thanks for the advice but this isn't the solution for my problem (lol) actually as mentioned above when I flashed this rom it already had my memory card and internal storage joined and in a file explorer it never showed my sdcard as a separate storage but now my phone won't detect my sd card and neither let's me download anything to my internal memory ...I am seriously in a pinch

Update: my sdcard was the which was corrupted ....well actually not corrupted more like breasted by the over clocked processor's heat so anyway even if the sd card isn't avaiable why cant my internal storage be accessed ? Any help on that
