Hello, i have kies and adb installed on my pc, just need to know how to copy my ROM to phone internal SD memory?
Figured it out, just disabled usb debugging then copy from pc to phone
Well, i copied the file but just need to know, does it matter if the file says update.rar or should it be update.zip?
From my experience, it should be called update.zip

I have a Samsung Captivate and I accidentally deleted the sd (at least that is what i think it was called) folder. How do I get it back? If I just create a new folder that says 'sd' will it still save things onto my internal sd card?
my /sd/ folder is empty at least looking at it from the OI file manager on the phone
I think mine was as well but I want to put music on my phone and i want it to go on the internal sd. I tried seeing if the files would go directly on the sd so i put a few music files in a folder i created but when i checked my task manager the internal memory storage changed, not the internal sd storage.

It depends what OS you are running.
2.1 used /sdcard for internal and /sdcard/sd for external
2.2 moved these directories under /mnt but left the old directories empty

Does anybody know what to do if the sd folder is deleted?
I noticed I had an 'sd' folder and an 'external_sd' folder. The sd folder was blank, so I deleted it after I viewed it on my pc - there was nothing in it. It didn't seem to be needed. But now I can't view certain files on my phone only. I can view them on my laptop via USB connection using Windows Explorer.
To attempt to find this folder on my phone, that I CAN see on my laptop using Windows Explorer, I created a txt file in that folder (that I can't find on my phone), naming it 'sdmissing.txt'. I searched everywhere on my phone, even from root directory, trying to find this file and couldn't. Yet after connecting to my laptop via USB, I can see it. What can I do??
Thanks in advance for any help!

backup important data and apps with tibu or any other apps in the market and perform factory reset with your phone it should bring you back to where you are.

Turn off and on ur phone to see if it works for you or not. I found that sd is a hidden folder and its blank. When I flash custom roms, I do it without going to stock. But, I do delete Android, data, sd and some other folders, that I know will be automatically created after the reboot/flash. When I go to cwm recovery to install rom from zip, I do see the Android folder and sd folder showing up there. Don't panic. Just do normal shutdown and restart. If that doesn't fix, reflash the custom rom if you are using one.

Please go through this article to falsh CM7 without any problem... It also has got solutions to most common problems user get while flashing...

Also, make sure you don't copy the zip file inside any folder. Copy it to /sdcard/ and everything will be fine...
I'm assuming some of you here know My Color Screen. Some of the posters there they post their own designed Android home/lock screens and they provide some files like uccw unzip files for those who want to make the same home screen. These files are downloaded on a computer and are put on the phone's SD card. But what about the HTC One, it has no SD card so I'd like to know where do I put these files?

The One has no External sdcard but does have an Internal sdcard

Thank you for replying. So how do I put these files so that they show up on my phone? Do I connect the HTC One to my computer and just transfer them or do I use the HTC Transfer Tool app?
Just transfer them through Windows Explorer as you would any other files

I'm using a Mac. Can't I just connect my phone to my MacBook and copy the files to the phone's internal SD?
By the way, I haven't yet received the device to test it out. I'd like to know in advance.
If it installs the drivers, you can use Finder (I think). Alternally, you can just download the files on your phone and they'll show up in the 'download' folder. You can then move them using a file manager.
EDIT: NVM, found an answer here. You need Google Android File Transfer.
Thank you. Seems like this is exactly what I need.
Hey all,
Yesterday I began having a weird problem. I tried to move an mp3 from a computer to my phone, and it kept failing. I didn't think much of it.
Today, I downloaded a picture from Google Images and tried to move it from my Download folder to my Pictures folder on the internal memory. It failed when I tried to move it, copy it, anything.
Now I noticed that anything I try and change, file-wise, will fail. No matter what ROM.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Restart you computer?
Can you create new files in the DCIM folder using a file manager? What about otehr folders or just root of /sdcard?
If you've ever put files back on /sdcard using Recovery (adb OR MTP) then usuaslly you'll find that the permissions of the card are screwed. I can point you to a flashable zip if that is the case. DO NOT fix permissions using the recovery option

I ended up wiping my internal through twrp. That fixed it.

Ah OK. I'm confident the zip would have fixed it too.
Long story short -- I'm selling my Note 4 so I wiped/formatted EVERYTHING (used "format data" option in TWRP which required me to type "yes"). After that happened I found I didn't have an OS installed. Ok, no big deal right? I'll mount my sdcard and copy the stock firmware over than flash with TWRP.
WRONG. Every time I try to copy a file to either the sd card or the internal storage, I get the following error message:
"Cannot copy Trltetmo_N910TUVU1ANJ7_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Its file size is larger than the device limit."

Wtf? In file explore it says that the SD card has 29.7GB free space available. And internal storage has 24.1GB. Obviously something is not right here.
Is it possible that TWRP didn't format things correctly? I just want to know how to fix this so I can get the stock firmware back on this bad boy and get it sold. I have been out of the android scene for awhile so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Also, not sure if it's worth noting but when I mount my Note 4 in windows with TWRP both the internal storage and sd card have like no file structure or files whatsoever. Completely empty. Also interesting is every time I reboot with TWRP, it asks if I want to install supersu or whatever to root the phone. I say "yes" but each time I reboot after that it asks me the same thing like it didn't actually do anything.
You can use ODIN to install Stock firmware on phone. So you won't need to copy anything to phone/sdcard memory.
If you still want to install that deodexed rom you mentioned, you need to plug your sdcard to computer using a sdcard adapter. TWRP built-in mount fails most of the times when trying to copy big files.

I guess that's not actually the "stock" stock firmware. Because the file I have is a .zip and is apparently incompatible with Odin. I will go to sam mobile and download the firmware there.
Do you recommend I download the most recent firmware should I flash the one that came with the phone?
Also, I hope that once I get the firmware back on, I will be able to copy large files when mounting normally once booted into the OS...

Yes, download the latest firmware and install it using ODIN.
You would be able to see and copy/paste to your internal and memory card normally after phone boots into android.
