I am trying to update from the previous rooted version I had(MJ4 or MI4, don't remember now) that was a no-Knox root.
I am using this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51674858&postcount=1586) guide to do it, and I flashed to stock NAB just fine and everything works fine.
I put the zips for the updates on the sdcard, and even renamed the first one to update.zip.
However, rebooting into the stock recovery and trying to apply an update from external storage like usual, just gives me E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) at the bottom, and the list up top where the folder tree/files should be is blank(just the standard ../ is there).
I tried looking all over, and so far the only thing I have seen is someone asking about this problem on a Note 3 and being told they need a physical SD card.
It has been awhile since I rooted this one and my previous phone, but as far as I can remember it should work fine with the "fake" sd card that the Note 3 and several others use. I am pretty sure I had to apply updates for my previous roots through this same method and I do not own an sdcard at all.
Any help would be appreciated.

The update can only be done from external there is no choice for internal. ..... just flash the nab tar and wipe data in stock recovery until you get official status then let it ota and then reroot with cf auto root

The problem started when after I flashed the recovery with Odin. When I booted into the recovery and tried to install the superuser zip file I keep getting this message: "E:cant copy META-INF/google/android/update-binary". I get this message when I try to flash a Rom: "E:Can't open /sdcard/update-unamed-1.3.1-full.zip". I've been trying to flash the CM7 nightlies and the "Unamed" Rom. Any help with this will be much appreciated.
Also, I ended up having to install superuser via SuperOneClick
Honestly, I stopped trying after the phone kept confusing me with SD Card, External Card, and Internal Card/External SD Card BS it was giving me.
I just left my phone rooted, lol.
Sometimes, this tends to happen if you rooted your phone with an anti-virus software running on your PC which can hinder the rooting process. (always the case with my HTC Inspire 4G). So turning it off could allow you to re-download Odin, and run the program again to root it again so it can install the proper files.
Once you get it re-rooted, get into CWM, do a backup, and Clear your Cache, Data and reinstall the ROM from your Internal Card or External Card (which ever you used to place the ROM in).
Good luck.

CWM and root are not even related....
root is root access to your OS /system and its functions. it has nothing to do with RECOVERY or anything outside of a RUNNING OS. i wish everyone would understand that.
as long as CWM is there, AND WORKING PROPERLY, rooting has nothing to do with it. you can flash a new rom from bone stock OS, as long as you have the CWM kernel.
@OP, you have these files (roms) located on the INTERNAL SD right?
I think that's why @homescrub said:
"and run the program again to root it again so it can install the proper files."
Proper files being cwm. As of yet I don't know of a way to install cwm without root on this phone. I know the captivate previously allowed an update to be flashed using stock recovery to get cwm.

how do you flash CWM?
through ODIN
that does NOT require root. you dont flash it via ROM manager....so whats the need for root to add CWM?
and what is this 'proper files' crap? you either have CWM or you dont, its not half-assed
nah its cool. im done here. i will let the misinformation fly. let the noobs run in circles. this website is going to **** so fast these days.
No man ....you should help these guys....just lighten up...and I apologize for coming off like that.....and one place I CAN understand is seeing what's going on in the forums....it is chaos sometimes.....I am just tired of seeing noobs who need help get ripped up.....just as much as I am tired seeing noobs posting +1 and Great Job, in the Dev forums. I just think this is the place to help them get a good understanding so there is not another new thread with this same question.

Thanks this really helped!! Lol I can't believe I forgot to do something like this lol I Odined back to FULL stock, flashed the zedomax kernal with root, wiped data and cache, flashed the rom now all is well
Come on guys, you are both better than this. Shake hands, help the OP, and lets make xda a better place..
I have been reviewing all root threads and most seem oudated, links not working any longer, they don't mention Android version, etc.
I have just re-stocked to official ics and before I screw up and gf kills me I'd like to:
* Know if latest CWM in the official site (ver. 6.0.3.1) works with the latest official ICS for P7500.
* Find a root.zip to flash for official ICS build with previous CWM if it works.
Thanks in advance.
1. Yes. But keep in mind that since you are not on 4.2 or higher, cwm will create a '0' folder on SD card once you flash something. Deleting it and flash another zip will recreate it. No biggie though, just a little annoying for me.
2. I kept a root.zip on my SD card just in case. Here you go. http://db.tt/XwaGyTwz

Ok, so here it is: tried CM11 and decided it was a little too buggy for me. Went into recovery and did a factory reset a couple times and also SYSTEM, CACHE, and DALVIK. From there i restored my Odex Blue backup w/o incident.
However, i noticed that Swiftkey suddenly said it couldnt d/l the language pack. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing. Google searched the problem and read numerous posts. Cant figure it out.
I then wanted to test another app that needs to download data. My weather/clock app has the same problem. Wont d/l any new skins. My alternate app market same issue... D/L will start but will never get past 0%.
This is clearly relates to resoring TW after flashing CM11. There must be a step i missed or something.
What would happen if i went into TWRP and chose to FORMAT DATA (clears internal data) and then attempted to restore my Odexed blue backup? I have the feeling that we are bot supposed to wipe internal data but i have no idea how to sort out this problem

It's the symlinks that point to your internal storage that b need to be restored. You can use ADB command lines to reconnect those, or take a more drastic measure that will get you to where you want.
I'll paste the options of which I'm aware momentarily...
--------Begin guidance from @freeza, posted over the weekend in his stock rooted MJ4 thread---------
" please try these commands in adb or terminal emulator... make a backup of your internal storage just to be safe.
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/
find /data/media/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} ';'
find /data/media/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} ';'
PS: I'd run these in recovery... "
--------End comments from freeza------
--------Begin alternative method, provided to me by a forum member uncomfortable with ADB and reporting it working-----
"What I did was just wipe everything and started from scratch and everything seems to be normal again..."
---------End comments if not using ADB----
My guess is the latter method was a wipe of everything from within TWRP.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.

See above. You can do it without ADB and still be up-and-running, though it's a bit more work on the backend.
If going the command line route, you'd have your phone in recovery, be running the latest version of Android SDK and Eclipse, and running from the subdirectory of where the Android SDK is installed labeled "platform tools." You'll need to run them from a command prompt within Windows, and be at that directory from within the command window.

I'm sorry bro, I haven't done either, though I suspect it's one of the wipe options from within TWRP. If you copy a TWRP backup to your external storage, you will likely be able to put it back after the wipe. Nothing is ever gone if you reset the pointers to your storage.
Let me try to get you some assistance; I believe @Goddly can provide guidance.
OK, here's your update (not from Goddly), you should restore nothing from a prior backup from a previous TouchWiz rom if you have gone from CM11 to TW4.3. I believe it's square one for ya (either Odin or Mobile Odin tar file flash). Just advice from two whom would know.
Or...if you did flash the Skunk Ape1 rom, reinstalled TWRP and re-rooted, you should be able to flash a new TouchWiz rom and could try to restore a prior backup. I don't see why that wouldn't work. I still think starting over is your best call.
Edit: Here are the steps that make the most sense to me if you don't use ADB and are having issues with a TW 4.3 ROM after flashing an AOSP 4.4.2 build:
1. Flash Full Stock (no root or recovery) ROM of MJ4, tar file flashed from Mobile Odin or Odin (tar can be found here)
2. Inject root using Chainfire method using tar.md5 file here,
3. Install TWRP 2.6.3.7, tar.md5 file here, IMG file here,
4. Flash your heart out

Man, you are thorough! Thanks so much for your time once again! I used skunks file in traditional Odin. When that was done I did a Factory Reset. Then I went back to Odin to flash TWRP recovery. Finally, I restored my good ole SS Odexed. Definitely not worth the hassle IMO. You really can't beat a stock based rom IMO.

I'm in the same boat. Trying to find out if I can install HyperDrive over the Stock ROM without bricking the phone. I'm hoping that will free up a lot of space as I would need to wipe the slot prior to installing. Just a little worried about doing it.
One thing I did do was boot into Stock and remove all apps, updates, and as much stuff as I could. This didn't have any effect on the loss of space. I know that while digging through posts on these forums I saw a lot of outrage when the S4 first came out about all the bloatware that took up a good 6gigs of space on a stock phone.
Also when I did the backup of the Stock ROM onto the SD card, I made sure that I moved it off the SD Card and onto an external Hard Drive for safe keeping and to free up some space on my SD Card. I also deleted the HyperDrive install as well since it is 1.xGigs of space on the SD card.
Sorry I don't have anything really to contribute, but would be interested in hearing if you find a way to free up some space as well.
I run all of my roms in stock slot because of that very reason. I have a stock rooted backup I keep on my computer so it doesn't accidentally get deleted from SD card and to also save space on my external. I haven't had any problems at all with running any tw based custom roms in the stock slot. Just make sure your base is compatible with the roms you flash. HD15 requires mj7 or mk2 just do like normal and flash the modules after the install and before booting into the rom.
Profit and enjoy the extra space [emoji1][emoji106]
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
The best way to do this is to Odin to stock, root, install safestrap, copy System/lib/modules folder to ext SD or comp. Back up stock slot in safe strap recovery. Then wipe stock slot and flash hyperdrive 15 and mk2 or mj7 (according to your build) modules. Reboot then replace system/lib/modules with the one you copied from stock and Fix it's permissions.

Something that will save plenty of time would be to backup your slot 1 and wipe your stock slot then restore your hd15 backup of slot 1 and restore it to the stock slot and flash kernel modules for good measure. Delete slot 1.

Ah. Gotcha. I must have just gotten lucky then haha.
I will omit that so nobody runs into that.
I did restore from slot 1 to stock. But what I did was backup slot 1, wipe everything on stock slot, restore backup to stock slot then flash modules.
Like I said though I must have gotten lucky.
But why would you want to copy the files in the lib folder? Isn't that the same as flashing the modules before booting into the rom?

All I know is that I tried just flashing modules and wifi wouldn't even turn on. When I researched it the solution above is the one I found.
k1mu said:
Here's what you do to recover your Wifi.
First, if you didn't overwrite the stock slot:
1. Boot your stock slot.
2. Copy the two files in /system/lib/modules to your EXTERNAL sdcard.
3. Boot the custom slot.
4. Use your favorite root file manager to mount /system read-write, then copy those files from the external sdcard into /system/lib/modules in your custom slot.
5. Reboot. Wifi should be back.
Second, if you flashed over the stock slot: :crying:
Well, you've written over the factory modules. You'll need to get them back.
A. Find someone with the same device as you that's unmodified and ask them for the contents of /system/lib/modules. Copy them to your /system/lib/modules.
B. Remove Safestrap and install a factory stock ROM. You can now use Safestrap to flash into a different slot and use the directions above.
If you INSIST on flashing over the factory ROM again (i.e. you haven't learned why that's a bad idea), then copy off the files to your external sdcard before you install Safestrap, then go to step 4 above after you finish flashing the custom ROM.
C. Take apart a factory ROM image and extract the contents of the /system/lib/modules directory onto your external sdcard. Go to step 4 above.

Like you said, you were lucky. Because if the module zip were the same, why would one need to get the unmodified one from a stock rom rather than downloading the one from the safestrap thread? I'm guessing the module zip is meant to work on rom slots and not the stock. Idk how yours worked, but to the OP : flashing to stock slot is not recommended by hash and you won't get any support/help from him as he states in his thread, so proceed at your own risk. But the above method has worked for me and others . Good luck.

Flashed HyperDrive RLS15 over the stock ROM this morning. Flashed the Modules before reboot and after install. Only issue I had was TouchWiz Home crashing on occasion, but a kindly soul on here told me it looked like it was an issue associated with restoring data. Although I didn't restore data, I also chose to just flash over the Stock ROM and use the installers Wipe/Factory Reset option instead of wiping the ROM slot first. All I had to do was boot into recovery with SafeStrap and Wipe the new ROM, reboot, and good to go.
Oh, and the free space on the device using the flashed Stock ROM is now close to 6Gigs! Oh the Glory! Gonna give everything a few days and if it all remains good to go, I'll delete the RLS14 ROM and maybe try some other ROM's out, now that I have room.

Well, tried on my D850 and installed and ran fine, but 2 issues:
1. Can't mount external SD (SanDisk 64Gb in FAT32 but soon going back to ExFat), the path for it is incorrect and no option to change it
2. Installed a Zip file that replaced the kernel and even though it said all went ok it was never installed
Had to flash back the TWRP recovery (even though that one can't read my external_SD either no matter the format) so I can flash the new kernel properly.
Waiting for your next release to test it out.

Is there a version of philz recovery that will work on lg g3 as990? Can one be created?
