Factory reset goes into a boot loop on my jellybean 4.2 tablet. I downloaded the correct OS to a PC and unzipped it on to an SD Card. After inserting card into tablet and selecting "the update from sd card" it just shows all the files on the SD Card. It never starts to load the OS. What am I missing?
You never have to unpack a ZIP-archived Android OS and/or OTA . The "update from sd card" command expects a ZIP-file.

Thank you for your reply. I tried two different zip files of the OS for this, Lenovo Yoga B8000 tablet. So after selecting the zip file it comes up with "Install /sdcard" ..... second line "Installation aborted" Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
In recovery mode you only can flash properly signed OTAs.
To re-flash a device's Stock ROM you have to switch device into its sideload mode first.
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <PATH-TO-STOCK-ROM.ZIP>

I reformated the device and when I try to install the new fimware (No sd card) I get update failed (1) message. Now It boots only in recovery mode. HELP
Did you actually move the .aos file to your Archos when in recovery mode?
yes i copied and pasted it root of the storage
Did you totally format the device where it tells you "warning you will have to manually install firmware" or something like that? Are you trying with the latest firmware (2.0.71)?

Fixed it. I did not know you had to have the charging cable in when you update from a full reformat.
I have been downgraded the phone from 2.2 to 1.31 and then created the goldcard.
I started step 1 of rooting, it worked fine until I continued to step 2.
It happened to be like in the attach file
"failed to copy 'rootedupdate.zip' to '/sdcard/rootedupdate.zip' : I/O error"
then I selected Wipe option after that I tried to select "Flash zip from sdcard"
and it showed "E:No zip files found"
What should I do?
Please help me
and please excuse my poor English
Thank you

maybe you can try manually putting the rootedupdate.zip in your sd card root folder using your computer? then try wiping and flashing the rootedupdate.zip again when you get to that screen. I am not expert, just a thought
I'll write here what I wrote in another thread, I think it can be a solution for you as well:
Try booting to normal mode, then connect the device to the computer as a removable disk (or connect your sdcard to the computer with an sdcard to usb adapter)
After that, put on your sdcard the recovery update.zip found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
after that, boot in recovery. press vol-up + power and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"
Then you'll get a CWM recovery menu where you can install any ROM (should put the ROM on the sdcard ofcrouse), and that saves you from running step2.
Hi I was on the last step of installing Cyanogen Nighly build 116 on my SGS2 and got to step 7 of the guide on their wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
but I couldnt find my external SD card on Clockwork mod recovery. I tried to reboot back to my normal samsung OS so I could use USB to put the 2 update zip files on my internal storage but the phone is now boot looping. I boot up to the samsung logo then the phone restarts.
What do I do please?
Hi again,
I have tried booting in download mode which does nothing but show me the android man withthe word Downloading... underneath (VolDown, Home, Power). I have tried booting back to Clockwork Mod recovery (VolUp, Home, Power) and I have tried messing around with adb to see if it sees any devices- which it does, it sees
304D19A75555E24E
but it doesnt accept adb push update.zip I guess because the phone is busy rebooting :S
My guess would be you've installed a different version of CWM recovery. Choose "Install zip from internal Sdcard" instead.

Hi
It says Clockwork Mod Recovery v4.0.1.4
It doesnt have an option other than install zip from sdcard
and it doesnt see the external sd card either.
I have
- reboot system now
- apply update from sdcard
- wipedata/factory reset
- wipe cache partitions
- install zip from sdcard
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
- advanced
- power off
I chose install zip from sd card
then chose zip from sdcard
and I get the internal listing of files on the internal phone storage but no access to the external sd card. There is a folder there called, external_sd but when I select it, it just says No files found. It shows this when the sd card is inserted and uninserted though.
Do you know any way I can put the update files on the internal phone memory from my PC? I have adb installed and the android sdk. but adb wont push files to the phone. I used to know a way to boot the phone with fastboot but dont remember how to do that any more
You need to tell it where to save the file if you're going to do adb push, i.e. adb push update.zip /sdcard/cm7.zip, but you might need to mount somewhere to store it in mounts and storage first for it to work.

ah but I cant get it to boot so I cant get it to mount. The closest I can get is getting adb to recognise it as a device while it is bootlooping (it only gets up to the Samsung logo then reboots)
I did try "adb push update.zip /sdcard/cm7.zip"
failed to copy 'update.zip' to 'sdcard/cm7.zip' : Read-only file system
The phone is still rebooting over and over. Out of curiosity, would CWM not give the option to install zip from the external sd card if the phone didnt have root?
I bought this phone from a friend and he said the phone did have root but I actually am not sure if it does. Would that also cause me not to be able to use adb to push the file because the internal sd card was read only?
Either way - how do I get the phone back to a usable state please?
I mean from within CWM recovery, which you said you can access (ADB should work there after 30 seconds or so).

booted to CWM - waiting for pc to notice phone exists so I can use adb...
... nothing is happening. (tried using mount usb storage too)
EDIT1: I rebooted CWM and when it came back - tada - windows noticed it. Ran the ADB command and the copy has worked over 36s.
Watch this space...
EDIT2: Got the phone to finally let me upload update.zip (the 116 nightly build from cyanogen) and gapps (for cyanogen7) using the mount option under Clockwork Mod recovery
installed update.zip
installed gapps.zip
rebooted and...
stuck at
Samsung
GALAXY S II
GT-I9100

nothing is happening, the phone doesnt boot... but CWM has changed colour to a pretty blue and I am now on v5.0.2.7. What am I meant to do next? I ran out of steps on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
Flash the update twice in succession, if the first one was quick.

yes your right, it was quick. I flashed it again - much slower this time and it seems to be working - I finally got off the stuck screen. Currently watching the new cyanogen mod 7 boot screen.
Big thanksometer - if your anywhere near me i'd buy you a coffee.
Tonight I was trying to install clockworkmod touch on my Prime, and when I was trying to get into fastboot, I made the mistake of selecting the data wipe option, then setting it down to go do something else for a while. As of now, it will not get past the screen that says "ASUS powered by NVIDIA blah blah blah". I can get into CWM just fine, as well as fastboot, but I dont have anything to flash since my memory was wiped. I've tried a million and one things to get it to work, and I still can't find anything. Can someone help me?

read the person's above, seems like a hard brick from the thread he linked.
Since you can get into cwm, you could just download a custom rom place it on your micro sd and then install the custom rom onto your device.
To me it seems that you just wiped the rom on your device, so it has nothing to boot from.
I have not done any rooting or install on my prime yet, but I've been have encounter this similar problem on my htc sensation where it would just have a boot loop. I fix it by reinstalling a rom.
The problem I'm having with flashing a ROM from my micro sd card is that i can't get cwm to see my sd card.

Ah sorry didn't verify before my previous post. I think if you boot into fastboot mode, and use adb to push a zip to your sdcard would work.
If its not mounting, if the kernel/cwm has the option 'mounts' or 'mass storage' like the glitch kernels cwm has for the galaxy captivate, you can go in the n click on 'mount sd' or whatever.... it might not be mounting right away so u could try that to get it mounted

I've tried using adb while the Prime is in fastboot, and adb won't recognize it. Fastboot sees it, but it cant push files. I tried "fastboot update rom.zip" and it gives me this error
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
The issue was resolved by installing the universal drivers located in post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502, then using adb to push CM9 and installing via CWM. Since Fastboot was "working" it seemed that adb should also work, but it didn't with the ASUS drivers.

i know this has been solved but FYI, to get adb to see INTERNAL SDCARD (CWM doesn't support EXTERNAL SDCARD), just go to Install Zip from sdcard, Choose zip from sdcard while usb is connected. Now push the file.
After it's finished, go to your prime, back to Install Zip from sdcard, and again into Choose Zip from sdcard. The zip should be there.
So I was trying to reset my prime in order to ship it to the person that bought it. I had AOKP which I forgot that at the time of the rom that was on was unable to access the sd in recovery.
I did a factory reset and installed a Rom which apparently is not loading correctly. The only thing in internal storage is the rom that isn't booting correctly.
What can I do in order to get a bootable rom onto the tablet? Is there a way to copy to internal storage without being booted into a rom (from recovery, or some other method).
I cannot add roms onto the sd because the sd is not recognized in recovery.
Someone please help me out here,
Thanks!
Ok I got the proper adb drivers installed so I can use adb from recovery, what is the proper command for me to be able to push a rom to the internal memory using adb?
Anybody please help!
Thanks
adb push [Insert directory of rom here] /mnt/sdcard/
good luck~
