Flash kernel which has the ability to mount sd card in recovery. For example, TWRP recovery in AOSX has that ability. From there on you will be able to flash any rom zip.

I have some confusion regarding ROM installation. The usual step to install rom, for eg is
How to Install:
1. Download the ROM
2. Extract boot.img and flash it
3. Copy the ROM to your SD Card
4. Boot into recovery
5. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system
6. Install the ROM
7. Reboot

because it doesn't get deleted that way, it won't wipe internal memory (or in other words, our virtual SD card), you will ipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system

I think I may have flashed one to many times..The latest made me lose root on my s-off/ un-locked rezound. I did somehow regain root however I now cannot get my internal or external storage to show up with usb hook up, they do show up on root explorer though, I also lost TWRP and CWM will not back up anything because it cannot find the back up path. I was able to flash a Rom so my phone is operational in every other way. How do I fix...any clues will be appreciated and I thank all of the Dev's for sticking with the Rezound for so long...
If I were you, I would try:
1. Wiping data, system, cache, dalvik
2. Flash a new rom
3. Check
If that doesn't help:
1. Run latest OTA RUU
2. Flash recovery
3. Flash new rom
4. Check
no work

I can't flash anything because it won't read my sd card..
is your sd card working properly? (i.e. can your computer or some other device read it?)

Yes, it reads on everything else, even root manager reads it..
Do you have a card reader that you could use to transfer the files from your computer to your sd card? Perhaps even a different device such as a digital camera that you could use to mount the sd card on the computer?
Put a RUU file on the SD card, boot into bootloader, does the bootloader see it?
my question is simple i want to flash the new neat rom but it doesnt have the odin files i think you have to do it in recovery , i can't do that because i don't have an sd card after the wipe everything will be gone what should i do?

Wipe data/factory reset will not delete the rom.zip from your internal sd card. The wipe only wipes app/appdata/settings, not custom folders/files.

thank you very much going to flash
I want to remove files that have accumulated from other roms. In others words like stock, but with custom rom. I like Beanstown106 with SD swap.
Thats a little tricky with sd swap but you will have to painstakingly go file by file and see if it's something you have deleted to something that you are still using. If you have any apps that created a folder and are gone for good then you are safe to delete. But avoid any system app folders and anything that you are still using like pictures, music and so on avoid.
M.A.D.NoTe.||
thx for help
I'm installing cleanrom ace 4.9 my goto rom next to beanstown106. No SD swap and I was thinking of formating SD card. Now how do I erase what a factory reset won't delete.
I usually wipe EVErYTahING wenever i flash something new sd card and all just to start from scratch but all i got on sd card is pix and music so its easyily backed up

from recovery, format internal and external sd. that will wipe everything out completely.
I did consider formating from recovery. I'm just scare of deleting the OS and my phone ending up being useless. I did research and what I read it won't. Any advise is welcome THX to everyone.

How would it end up being useless? Its no different than a pc...your reformatting and installing the OS on a clean slate.
I was thinking if I formated the internal it would delete recovery as well. And had no way of installing a new rom. Thx again really help full.

I want to clean up my directory structure. If I format the internal and external sd using recovery (TWRP) to wipe everything, what rom will boot? Will my custom rom boot or will the original verizon rom boot? Will I have to unlock the bootloader again? Thanks.

you will lose all data and need to reflash the rom in recovery...no you will not have to unlock again, nothing performed from recovery will overwrite the boot.img.
I was scared of the losing my OS as well, but it's not that hard. Treat it as two steps. Formatting your sDCard, and then prepping your SdCard by doing a Nandroid backup to your SdCard, and copying a flashable ROM (and kernel if your ROM does not flash a kernel) to your SdCard. Before formatting your SdCard copy anything you want to keep to your computer. I just copy the whole card to my computer.
Reboot and do your data resets and wipes, including internal storage (format data in twrp) Then flash your ROM that you put on your ext SdCard. Your nandroid backup is your insurance. Worst case you boot into recovery and restore your backup.
(But you should still have a working toolkit or ADB on your computer and you can recover from any screw up)
As long as you have what you need on your (ext) SdCard before wiping internal storage, and you only do a data reset and cache wipes and only do 'format data' you will be fine.

Dear Friends
After spending too much time searching and encountering many incorrect answers, I finally found a solution on my own and decided to let you guys know
It's really simple, It's not exactly a big crack but we were installing the ROM incorrectly.
Solution 1 : Just Install ROM using the internal memory don't use any other storage option like microSD Card or OTG. It worked for me.
Solution 2 by Pourush Sharan Bhargav
1. Wipe everything from twrp.
2. Download a stock rom of k6 power and flash it with a Qualcomm flash tool.
3. Go to settings check.......phone now will not be encrypted.
4. If it says to encrypt, do not do it.
5. Go to twrp and make changes to data and cache partition to ext4.
6. Wipe everyting again from twrp.
7. Flash your custom rom like RR and gapps.
8. Done, enjoy.....
All the best. Please give me Kudos if this tip is helpful to you.

That's not what i meant. Follow below steps
Remove the SD card as it might interfere with the process.
1. Reboot in TWRP
2. Do all the wipes (Data, System, Delvik, Cache Internal storage)
3. Then connect USB and copy ROM and Gapps in Internal Memory
4. Flash both.
Hope it works.
Okay.
Can you tell how to copy the files from pc to phone while in recovery mode?

When i flash any rom with zxc recovery at booting it say uncryption unsuccessfully plz enter the correct password
I try wipe cache and data
Format your data partition!
+ Plus when flashing roms also patch the boot image so it does not get encrypted on next boot of rom.
SuperSu/Magisk and Custom Kernels have the above patch, plus a script called FED patcher.
TWRP doesn't work well with encrypted devices.
Format data
This is encrypted by the company..so to avoid this first you need to take a backup of the internal storage and then copy the ROM files and gapps in the SD card ..now open twrp recovery then click on wipe then format data...then type yes
This will format the internal data ..(SO PLEASE TAKE A BACK)
..Now install the ROM using sd card and enjoy the ROM..
Hope this solves your issue
