Everytime i put a rom on my micro sd card and go into ClockworkMod Recovery i can never see it but if i put the rom on my phone memory i can see it!!!!!!
Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?
Thanks mimic
If you should install roms with cwm, the zip has to be stored in internal sd card.

For some reason my sd card just started saying I have errors with it and it might need to be formatted. If I copy everything from the sd to the computer, format the card, then copy it all back, will it mess up any settings I have? It is able to read the card in recovery.

Hi guys,
I recently tried to flash a new rom into my phone and I accidentally flashed the rom from the internal SDCard and now my phone will not boot. I am able to go into CWM but Im just unable to boot the phone up. Has anybody tried this or does anybody know how I can fix this? Thanks
I assume you are trying to flash a custom rom in .zip format, what you can do is
-Remove your external memory card
-Transfer your rom into that external memory card using pc
- reinstalled the memory card onto your device
- boot into recovery by pressing volume up,home and off button
- select flash zip, and you should be good from there.

Physically remove your external micro usb card..plug it into a micro usb card reader..and transfer from pc into that card...once complete, reinsert your micro sd card onto your phone and boot into recovery.
Edit: this will work only if you are trying to flash a rom in .zip format

Hi, yes I know how to put roms into my external memory card and flash them from there. What my problem is I accidentally flashed a custom .zip rom from the phone memory not from the external memory card and now it does not boot up. Any suggestions?

Are you able to boot up in cwm recovery? By pressing the 3 button combo does the phone go into recovery? If it does..than there should be no problem..

Go to recovery and advanced and then mount usb storage and connect your phone to computer! Done! Do any transfer u want!
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE :-D
And its not an issue whether u flash from internal or external sd card. Just wipe/format data + clear all cache and dalvik cache in recovery! The phone should boot normally!

hi all,i read a lot in these forums about the procedure to put a cooked rom in a samsung i9000,so the exact work that i did was:
1) root the i9000
2) from the market i bought rom manager premium 5.5.2.3
3)installed clockworkmod 3.2.0.0
4)holded vol up + home button + power on and booted in clockworkmod mode
5) i looked for the cooked rom i put on the external sd drive....
.....BUT when i look for it the phone doesnt see the external sd so im stuck here i cant load the cooked rom cause i cant see the external sd,perhaps i dont follow all the steps?????
please give me some help here im stuck since 4 days now!
P.S: the sd card works fine,im sure about it and the firmware version of the phone is 2.2.1 file is I9000XXJVE
thanks a lot

mount "internal sd" as usb storage

thanks guys but i dont follow your help!
i downloaded aroma.zip installed in the internal memory of the phone launched it from the recovery menu but this sw is all mess up and i cant work with it!
i would like to know if i can install cooked rom from the internal memory of the phone,i guess not cause if i do so the phone will just hang up cause i can share the rom and the installation space right?
since im quite sure i cant use the internal memory of the phone i can only use the external sd card to install the cooked rom but it looks like u are telling me that i have no hopes to use the external sd card to install the rom so....what am i supposed to do?i cant use the internal memory,i cant use the external sd card so....what am i supposed to use???????????????????????????
thanks again!
I am not even sure why you made the assumption that you can't use the internal memory in the first place. The internal SD as it is sometimes referred to is separate from the OS. Case in point, factory restoring your phone will not wipe your internal memory.
So just use the internal memory.
Probably the most NOOBISH question ever... but here goes and any help would be greatly..... greatly appreciated.... ive rooted (woo hoo i know lol) ive installed CM9, all the stuff is on SD card, can i remove the SD card and re-partition it? i think ive set 25 out of my 32GB card as the wrong kind of memory
probably really stupid thing ive done lol
Yes you can repartition the external SD no hassles there...what do u mean all the stuff? Copy the stuff to your PC and format the SD card and repartition it.
I mean all the zip files for cm9 and cmw and kernel and gapps things are on my SD card, if I just remove the SD card all together from the phone and switch it on will it jot work? Is my phones os running directly from SD card do I still need the partition etc

The phone OS doesn't run from the SD card! Even if you had the .zip on the SD once you flash, the .zip has no say...else after you flash a ROM, the usable internal memory should change accordingly!
Ha haha sorry for the noobish replies ha its all new to me so now my phone is rooted and I have all the things I want on the device I can remove SD card and format it to just be external memory for the phone
Thank you
