Hi.
I recently aquired a Samsung Galaxy GT i9000 and wanted to get a newer version of android on it cause the one that had was broken, the phone would turn off by iteself if not used.
So after a quick google search got to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBFtVvbRGN0.
Watching the video i realized i don't have ClockworkMod Recovery so went to google again and found this guide http://www.idroidspace.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-and-install-cwm-recovery-how-to/.
Fallowed the guide and got ClockworkMod Recovery installed using CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS if somehow helps.
So back to the video i dowloaded CyanogenMod and Google apps provided on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526478.
I copy the files onto the sd and insert it. I boot phone into recovery, didnt made android backup and proceed to do wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. I go to install zip from zipcard and i get Cannot mount /sdcard or.
Did another googlesearch and got to this http://www.droidviews.com/fix-e-cant-mount-sd-card-issue-android-devices/.
Tried to format sd card various times but still doesn't work so i tried the method 2 listed there.
Got to http://www.droidviews.com/setup-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-within-seconds/ and installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
I connec t the phone in recovery mode , luch Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run "adb devices" but my device isnt listed there.
And now i'm stuck. I might not be doing some stet or idk. First time trying whole android install stuff and any help would be appreaciate it. Thanks in advance.

So last night I decided im tired of the way my Atrix was running so I decided to root it. My plan was to install neutrino 2.2 rom, but first I read to install CWM Recovery which i thought i did correctly.
So I then went to market and tried to download ROM Manager, Insufficient Space Error. So I removed a bunch of apps, Tried again, still same thing.
Formatted my internal and sd card, still had error. Went into recovery and did the stock reset (thinking it may be root causing issue) got phone back to stock and still getting same error.
Can anyone help?
so my boss found an app called marketfix on app brain. I went there only to find i needed to download with market.
seems kind of counter productive if you ask me lol.
Fixed it.
I tried a few more things and was finally able to get titanium backup and system recovery back on phone thanks to apk files i found. Tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache.
neither worked.
Put phone in fastboot mode, then connected to computer, went to dos prompt and ran:
moto-fastboot erase cache
I have now successfully installed 2 apps from market. Yay!!!

Thanks. I tried clearing cache of market but didn't work but "moto-fastboot erase cache" worked for me.
I wanted a clean cyanogemod installation on my desire z so I followed this guy's advice:
For a clean install, just boot into recovery, format the /system partition (found under the Mounts and Storage menu) and then perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. After that, you are good to install CM and gapps. This does not erase your sdcard, so if any apps stored stuff on there, it will still be there unless you manually erase it.

I didn't think it through and restarted the phone thinking I'd use clockworkmod to reflash the cyanogenmod rom. When I turn it on now it just displays the green 'htc' text on white background, none of the buttons do anything.
I've still got adb etc installed from rooting a year ago, is there a way I can unscrew this up? A million thanks.
Edit: When I start it and go to the loader screen by holding down the optical button, it gives me 'bootloader' as an option but when I select it, it looks like it scans the SD, tells me there is no image and offers to start an update. I can see it with adb but can't get a shell, it says - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -'. Is there a boot file I can push onto it?
Read one of THESE.
I believe adb push a ROM and gapps to /SD card.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
It seemingly randomly booted in cwm recovery after about 30 on-offs and I loaded the cyanogen rom, not a satisfying fix but I'll take it. Thanks for your help.
Hi guys,
Im new to android and flashing roms. I'm having trouble flashing a ROM after I did superwipe. Im on Jellybean 4.1.1.
Here's what I did before the super wipe.
1. Installed CWM 6.0.1.2
2. Rooted my phone. I even checked it with a root checker application and it said that I was rooted.
3. Copied Superwipe and Android revolution hd 14.0 to my internal SDcard.
4. Went to recovery mode and installed superwipe.
After the superwipe install, I was suppose to go back to choose zip from sd card but it said FILE NOT FOUND.
I already searched the forums but none were specific to my case or it didnt give me the answer. I also searched google and found that I can copy my ROM to my phone using Android SDK but I have no idea what I'm doing.
Can anyone help me? Currently stuck at CWM recovery menu.

Because Super wipe format your internal SD card
1 though odin flash stock rom and root again
2 push the rom in external sd and insert in your device than flash

yes this is what I was looking for. Although I couldnt push it using the command prompt, I was able to get the info from that thread to use a program called droid explorer to push the date to the Sdcard. Im installing the rom now. Thank you:good:
I really need help. Major problem.
My storage is not working at all (external-SD card one). I'll try to give all the info about the problem and how it appeared:
My One X+ was on CM 10.1.3 with BLADE kernel 3.1.10 #201305062233 (I didn't use the included kernel in the ROM.zip, used an older version instead). Yesterday I tried to update to CM 10.2 Nightly (I think it was 20131105) but through the CM Updater. It downloaded the ROM and I updated it without flashing the boot.img previously and the phone rebooted and got stuck at bootscreen but, ok, than I tried to flash the kernel through the One X+ Toolkit and it failed. From this point, I may have made some stupid things but here's what I did:
I forgot to clean cache and dalvik cache and since I couldn't flash new kernel I decided to go back to the previous ROM 10.1.3 and after I did it (without wiping data) it rebooted and acted weirdly so I went back to recovery and cleaned cache, dalvik and did a SD card format(!) Reason I did it was cause it didn't recognize anything on SD card when connected to PC via USB, but DID recognize everything in CWM recovery under the Flash new zip - menu. After that, I got lost. One more thing I also forgot - Google apps. I did not flash the zip and now it was deleted from SD along with ROM.zip and other stuff. I thought of bringing it back to SD, but... all I'm getting is this( image one) its emty and when I open properties it shows this (image two). When I try to copy anything on it it doesn't allow me. In phone's file manager I can access internal memory (system, sys, acct, data, rfs, root...) but inside storage-folder is only folder-emulated. No sdcard0, sdcard, legacy and that kind of stuff and if I try to crate them they disappear after reboot. Long story-short, now I can't do ANYTHING! Cant copy stuff to SD, can't flash kernels and ROMs, can't install RUU (i tried that one too-no results, and yes, I did re lock the bootloader), cant't swap recovery, can't use my phone for anything except for calling, texting and searching in the browser (but cant download anything). Another bummer is that I can't access Gapps.
So, to sum up: no way of using SD with phone or PC. I hope there is a way for using my storage again but I can't think of any.
PLEASE help if anyone knows the answer. I'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Any other info, just ask.
hey man i know this is a very old post but i have the exact same problem, did you find solution to this problem ?
My galaxy S2 (gt-i9100) was running cm13 for about half a year. Some days ago I let google play update my apps. The result is a bootloop.
I've used the voice recorder to record a lot of notes I need to remember. Is there any way to get those files out from the phones internal storage?
The CWM recovery installed lacks the option to wipe cache / dalvik, which I would hope could get the device out of the bootloop.
When booted into recovery, I've tried adb, but the device is unauthorized.
I think usb debuging was disabled, however, I'm not sure about that.
The ideas I have to solve this are:
1) flash some other recovery that will give an option to wipe cache/dalvik and be able to boot cm13
2) flash some other recovery that will make adb able to pull the files while in recovery mode
3) flash some recovery that is able to copy files from internal storage to sd card
4) factory reset, and hope the files don't get deleted (this is the very last resort)
The thing is that it seems like I'll need to do all installations from SD card via the current CWM recovery. Does anyone know of a suitabel download / howto that can help me get my files off the phone?
If reason for boot loop is Xplore file explorer latest update , uninstall it with developer advices:
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/wiki/xplore/crash_on_cm
I did factory reset twice because of app.
Thank you, Kepsilla. Unless that is an app that is installed with cm13 or gapps, I don't have it installed. But your link gave me hope:
If you have custom recovery on your device (such as TWRP), enter recovery mode, open file manager and delete folder /data/app/com.lonelycatgames.Xplore-1

That means that if I can install TWRP recovery from CWM recovery, I should be able to access the filesystem. That should open up to two possible solutions:
a) Copy my files from internal storage to SD
b) Delete / modify some files to take all apps I've installed from play store will not start automatically.
Does anyone know of a TWRP that would give any of these possibilities and install on a i9100 using CWM?
(I can't really experiment iwht this - I feel the risk of loosing the files is too high. I have to know I'm going the right direction when I do something.)
Solution was very simple: By holding volume down pressed during boot, the device boots into safe mode - no apps started. Then I could just uninstall the apps that were set to autostart. Reboot and problem was solved.
I came across this way to enter safe mode when googling a error message that started to pop up frequently on my S5 mini. S2 with cm13 appears to have the same way to enter safe mode as S5 mini with factory rom.
