hello.
Im trying to install custom rom on lenovo s860.
Everywhere everything says that put .zip on the sd card. I can flash stock rom with sp tool but the stock is chinese hell with all the crap UI and lenovo apps that cannot be unstalled.
Trying to install whole custom ROM.
(i've flashed many roms before with success)
I have twrp installed and everything. BUT this phone does not have sd card slot.
When I put the .zip into build in storage the twrp cannot find it anywhere.
Also I dont know if this is bug but twrp says "internal storage (0MB)"
Also I cannot backup stock rom, it says mount failed and thats it
edit #2, I have rooted stock rom, if I move .zip file to root or to any folder or anywhere. it just disapears after I reboot my phone, so even If I move the file into root and the reboot to twrp the .zip is gone
edit #3 I cannot access adb, I cant push files,
twrp says unable to moust /system, /sdcard /internal storage and all of that stuff.
I have googeled the whole fooking google and cannot find anything that helps

I am trying to flash zip files from my SD card in cmw.. I go to choose zip from sd then after choose external_sd/ when i choose it, it does absolutely nothing( I hit the home button and it says no file exists but i know the files are there). I also manually mounted the SD... I was originally trying to do the fix speaker sound.. But due to the fact i could not get the sd to read, i did it from the internal memory. Now i cannot use my phone app at all it just crashes. I now want to flash a new rom on to fix the issue, but as i said i can't flash the zip from the SD. If anyone can give me some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
For flashing Roms you ALWAYS put them on your sdcard WHICH IS THE INTERNAL UNREMOVEABLE SDCARD. Your external sdcard on Samsung roms is called external_SD and in cm7 it is called emmc. On stock based roms (Samsung roms) you will always have to put the files on the sdcard NOT the external removeable sdcard.

Sounds like you already have a rom installed. Which one? Or are you still on stock? If stock, you can't flash from stock 3e recovery.
Assuming you have CWM Recovery, put the flashable zip on the root of the internal sdcard *not* the external sdcard, and not in any directory. If your directory structure on the sdcard is fairly long, the files may be hidden at the bottom, and you will have to scroll down to see them. Use the vol+ button to scroll in the up direction is easiest. Then you should be able to install the rom by selecting "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Do not use "choose zip from internal sdcard".
I am running a stock rom rooted.. I was falling a sleep while typing it.. I ment I was trying to choose the rom in CWM.. I saved the ROM on my external SD so i can try to pull the file and flash my phone to it.. What i am saying is when i go to pick the ZIP under in CWM i can't access it. As i wrote in my original post
If you have stock rom plus root by Entropy512, then the kernel is straight stock with 3e recovery, and you can not flash a rom from 3e recovery. You will need to install a kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery first. See the guide linked in my signature for detailed instructions on how to do that.
And go back and read both RockRatt's post and my previous post, to learn that you can not install a rom from the external sd card. And you should spend some time reading in general, so you have a basic understanding of what you are doing. And then do some more reading.
external sd

Why is it so difficult to put the zipfile on internal sdcard for flashing purposes,
then after flashing using a file manager simply move the zipfile to external sdcard?
Of course if you were using CWM Manager you would not have the
problem in the first place, CWM Manager (apk) can be downloaded
here: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G it is fully compatible with
CWM recovery but you do not need to go into recovery mode.
With this app you will have access to external sdcard with no problem.
It has most of the same options and features as you would see in Rom
Manager but it's fully compatible with our phones and flashable zipfile
roms, kernels, modems and mods. (it even installs apps )apk).
This is a perfect solution to backup and restore roms too.
(fully CWM compatible Nandroid with option to name the backup)

So I have a samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2 jellybean, rooted, stock recovery. Now I have been wanting to install cwm recovery on my device since a long long time, and rom manager isn't compatible with my device. I finally found a cwm.zip file for my device somewhere. The site told me to flash it via stock recovery, by the apply update from sdcard option. So I went into recovery, and when I click on apply update from sdcard option, I see only ../ I don't see a list of files on my external sd card. I tried formatting my sdcard, tried reinserting it, nothing worked. Plz guide me how I can flash the file I want to. Thanks....

Install MobileUncle tools, then go to recovery update choose your cwm file and flash
I use a totally different phone, anyhow, see if there is a "Mount sdcard" option somewhere in your recovery before you go to apply update.
BTW, ".." stands for up directory (just in case). And "." is the current directory.
Extremely sorry for my absence.....
No, no mount sdcard option anywhere in recovery
Hi
Please can anyone help. I have rooted my LG d802 correctly and confirmed this by Root Checker. I am trying to install a custom ROM which I have saved the zip file to the phones internal SD card.
When using ROM manager it says I have installed custom recovery Clockwork mod 6.0.4.4 but when I reboot into recovery mode only get the options to reboot system, install from external, adb etc. Or to wipe cache. I don't get option to instal from zip or any way to instal the new ROM. Rebooting just gets the phone back to its original state? Please any help on what I need to do to be able to see the instal from zip option.? Many thanks anyone!?
I don't use CWM, but I believe you should select install from external. It may be referring to your external SD, even if the SD isn't removable. If you still have issues installing your ROM, try TWRP recovery. You can install TWRP installer from the play store.
Hallo,
Mobile: Huawei G8, currently stock ROM Austria RIO-L01C150B130
What works:
Booting Android, Installing apps, change seettings, viewing internal storage with es file explorer
What does not work
Making screenshots, making OTA (error message when trying to download dat), viewing internal storage with Astro
History: Start condition: Phone has run Lollipop, been unlocked, unrooted, TWRP installed. Phone has been encrypted
OTA downloaded Marshmallow update to SD, force closed all apps and rebooted
Mobile stuck in recovery (TWRP). TWRP could not access SD card. -Comment: It seems that the phone needs the stock recovery for OTA
Finally got TWRP accepting the SD card by formatting it with SD formatter tool but could not get anything work.
Wiped storage with TWRP (for clean install)
Flashed boot.img and recovery.img from Marshmallow RIO-L01C432B340CUSTC432D001. (all flashing done with fastboot). Tried to update system via dload folder. Update failed at 5% (right after checking files and starting update). Phone goes in endless boot loop.
Flashed system.img of Marshmallow above. Phone goes in endless boot loop.
Flashed revocery.img and boot.img of Lollipop version above.
Tried dload folder method. Fails immediately.
Flashed Lollipop system.img. Phone boots w/o asking for encryption key.
Wiped Cache with stock recovery.
All .img files where extracted from update.app with HuaweiUpdateExtractor with profile 'unkown (worstenbrood)'.
That's basically where I am. I hope I didn't forget something important.
Could be something easy like missing directories. Could be something tricky like partitioning or access right issues.
After about 16h fiddling around with the phone I can hardly thing clear anymore.
Any hints are highly welcome.
Regards
Chilli
It appears that the phone can't acces SDCard0. SDCard0 and many other directories show up as empty in ES File Explorer. I guess Astro tries to show the data directory or SDCard0 instead of root, which can't be accessed either (--> Astro shows nothing). Connected to PC via USB internal storage shows only two folders: Pictures and system. There is some preloaded content in these directrories, but no changes can be made.
The parition 'data' itself seems to be fine, because apps can be downloaded and updated (folder 'app' is working correctly). So it seems to be some access problem of specific directories of the partition 'data'. Which is pretty strange.
I made a clean install of Marshmallow (that did not work) and a dirty flash of Lollipop.
Edit:
I swiped everything with TWRP exept external SD Card
I installed Lollipop and this time access rights are fine.
It can store screenshots, it can store OTA data.
OTA still fails. No clue why, but I guss that's another story.
Thanks

Hello guys,
i wanted to use a custom rom, so i unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom (i could access the internal memory from windows while in recovery). Now i wanted to use another rom, so i boot in orange fox, do format data, wipe and reboot to recovery. But now, i cant access the internal storage anymore. Windows explorer shows me the device, but i cant acess it. I have the global version Redmi Note 9 pro. I tried pitch black recovery as well as Mauronofrio's TWRP. I also tried to flash the Stock Rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com with the official mi flash tool and followed this instruction (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unable-to-decrypt-fbe-device.4206579/page-3#post-84370443). But then again, i could not access the internal storage from windows and the moved files from step 4 where not there anymore.
When i boot to the original stock rom, run all the setup and stuff and then boot again to recovery, i am able to access the internal storage. but then again, after format data i cant access it anymore and cant copy any custom rom on the phone. What to do?
Use adb sideload to install the ROM directly from your PC.
Not all recoveries support it though.
LineageOS recovery does so that's the reason why I use it.

Just few alternate method without adb/PC:
1. Use an sdcard to store roms, recovery backups...
2. Few days ago forget to copy the rom to sdcard (and already formatted the data), used an otg cable and installed the rom from usb-stick without any problem.
3. Flash the rom from internal storage, format data and boot to system.
Always use latest recovery (now ofox 11.0.1).
