[Z7 Mini] Can't install any ZIP files in recovery mode - ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini

Hello,
I'm having a Z7 Mini, with the newest Mokee 6.0.1 and TWRP 2.8.1.0 (also tried CWM with the same result).
I successfully installed the Mokee ROM and everything works fine, I have root access and also installed my backed up apps via Titanium Backup.
Unfortuenatly I can't install the GAPPS via the normal way, the recovery mode. I can do everything in my recovery, but when I enter "choose zip from sdcard" I see my internal SD (I have combined my internal with external SD, it's a new feature in Android 6) and no zip files, except from two ROM-zip-files (Mokee ROMs).
I can't see the GAPP-zip-files which I have downloaded. I can access to that file on the normal data manager on my phone, as on my pc via usb cable.
Do you have any idea, why I can't see them? I really need GApps on my phone.
Thanks a lot,
Martin

Did you update ROM Manager by chance? You ned to reflash CWM.
ROM Manager does not support ext-sd as of right now. You need to use RomRacer's CWM.

[Q] Soft bricked my phone by wiping data. Need some help.

Hey guys,
ok, basically, I had some issues with latest CM10, so I decided to do a 'wipe data/factory reset' within CWM Recovery, and then install clean version of CM10. Of coures I downloaded latest CM and Gapps and put them in the root of my phone. Well, at least I thought I was! I went to CMW Recovery, and wiped data to do a clean install, and just realized that I only have Gapps on my phone, and CM10 zip is nowhere to be found. So basically it didn't download well, or I somehow deleted it, I can't find it in any folder through CWM Recovery.
So, now I have soft bricked phone, I'm inside CWM Recovery but I don't have zip file to flash ROM. And, unfortunately, I didn't do backup :/
So what should I do? Should I use Odin, or is there any way to transfer this file from my computer somehow to SD card from inside Recovery? I also have Aroma manager installed (file manager that works inside CWM), but I'm not sure if I can somehow transfer this zip from computer with USB, or what's my best bet?
Thanks,
Nikola
Use card reader to copy zip to sd card.
Or if you have old backup use it.

[Q] help installing Custom ROM

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.

Lenovo s860 custom rom help.

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

Cant access internal storage in recovery

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).
