Help! Forget to copy zip file in root before flash - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am trying to update ATT Captivate from Froyo to Gingerbread. I first copied zip file into sd and flash back to stock JF6 rom. Then I did a facotry reset which erase everytthing on SD and I forget to copy zip file back again. I then used Apex flasher to flash GB 2.3.3 bootloader and the kernel. Now I can get into CWM recovery but there is not zip file I can flash. Does this happens to anyone before and what is the solution?
Thanks

you should be able to mount your sd card from cwm and drag the zip from your computer. I haven't tried it yet myself, but I saw that it was possible on one of the mobile tech reviews.

Yes it works.
I do it all the time while testing, get finished compiling an apk and throwing it in a zip, then get too exited and boot into recovery before I copy it over
Mounts and storage> mount USB storage

external SD needed for root/flashing?

Hi guys,
I want to root and flash custom roms on my Galaxy Note that is currently on stock Touchwiz rom with android 4.0.3.
Do I really need an external SD card for some reason? Can't I just install the files for rooting and flashing custom roms on my internal storage (and in which folder should I put them?)
I've rooted my HTC Magic and HTC Desire Z in the past, but have no experience doing these things on a Samsung device.
Thanks!

No need of External Card. You can do all the things from your Internal SD Card
I just tried to root my Galaxy Note using this method http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...on-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-no-computer-required/.
I used an external sdcard as shown in the video and did everything he did in the video.
I just got into the stock bootloader and managed to install CMW.zip from there. But once i’m in there my phone just can’t seem to find the 3 zipfiles that I’ve put into /sdcard/external_sd. When I got in CMW and I clicked “choose zip from sd card” and then clicked the ‘external_sd’ folder I got the message ‘No files found’. When I clicked “choose zip from internal sd card” I got “E: Can’t Mount /emmc/”.
What’s the problem? I already tried unmounting & mounting my sdcard in CMW.. I also see the 3 files when I’m browsing through my system and storage folders..
Thank you!!!

In some CWM version, internal and external SD location is swapped. Maybe you can try opening internal SDcard to locate your external-SD card.

Thank you guys! SO..
So all I should do is:
Reboot SGN into "download mode" (Vol down + Home + Power))
- Start pc ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar" file (I downloaded it from the Dr.Ketan guide)
- Connect the SGN to computer
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot TWICE
- Done ---> My phone is rooted and I can continue using my phone now with the stock ICS Rom that was already on it???
Thanks everyone for your help! :good:

How to eliminate everything? Restart

Hi guys,
Sorry for the question. I have my moms note. I am good at flashing but I cant seem what went wrong here. I was on official ICS.
I upgraded to leaked Jellybean, all worked wonders, I was on LS7 with Philz kernel. But then I lost root, I read there was a fix for that but then I discovered the problem I need hel with.
I CANT COPY ANYTHING TO INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL STORAGE!!! I tried everything. Wipes, reflash, fix permissions, etc., even format the sd card. But I can´t copy anything....I have checked if they are mounted and no problem. Camera can write to sd. Cant even open Gallery because it says INSUFFICIENT MEMORY. But the phone and card are empty!!!
This had never happened to me....Can anyone help me?
Owww....I so sad...
Just tried with another sd card andd couldnt flash philz new kerenl....signature error....
Im on JB installed via Odin.
Tried installi rocket rom form stock recovery..... starts, android appears and reappears and then it boots back in recovery....
I had the same problem (not enough storage) with Rocketrom and Philz Kernel. I switched to Hydracore V7 and Utackas Paranoidandroid with a full wipe and had no problem ever since. Don't know what caused the problem.

when you flashed the rom again, did you do proper wipes? If not very much concerned about data and apps, the try
make sure you have the rom in your sd card
boot into cwm philz recovery
mounts and storage
format /system
format /data
format /cache
format/preload
then go ahead and install the rom again. restes
Use es file explorer, go to sd card, tap menu then settings then file settings and select show hidden in files, you should now see a folder called. Trash100 it will be full of all your deleted items, although your sd is empty the files are still there just hidden
Delete that folder and reboot. Same applies to external sd too.

Welll apps weren`t a problem since my moms uses almost none LOL.
I went all the way back to 2.3.6, upgraded to 4.0.4 via KIES, rooted with stock recovery, nandroid backup here. Up to here everything working. Went to flash JB and could only flash TWM build. All still worked. I wanted to flash rocket rom but i still get same error of "Installation aborted".
Actual setup is working, without Snote (cant flash fix) and without airview (ditto).
Still missing to try to flash via Mobile Odin.
you couldn't flash rocket rom over ics?
may be the downloaded rom was corrupt. download again

[Q] Installing directly on external sd

I think the internal SD card of my i9000 is corrupted. I've tried everyting: wiped/factory reset, reinstalling Cyanogenmod10, installing Stock ROM, installing stockrom with re-partitioning on etc. Nothing works. I'm using odin to reinstall the stock ROM. Flashing the stock ROM to my phone goes well, but then when I restart and android is installing, I get error messages like:
/can't mount sd card
After reading a lot on XDA, my conclusion is: broken internal storage.
Now I want to install everything on my external SD. So I bought a 8GB cat10 SD card.
Found this XDA-post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893354 Seems very promising, but I seem to get stuck on '-- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs )'. I;ve got a virtual machine running Ubuntu. When I start the script, nothing happens..... the terminal just closes.
The easiest solution for my problem would be a ROM that is altered to directly install on my external SD. I red somewhere that ROMS like that exist. Can't seem to find one though.
Well.. thanks for reading my post, and accept my appologies for my bad english. You can probably notice I'm not a native speaker.
Does someone have a solution for me? Maybe know of a good thread?
Thanks in advance!
Greatings, Eldoro
also formatted my internal sd through adb...doesnt help either

You might not need to do a factory reset.If you are in recovery...use adb to copy a ROM:
adb push {Filename} /sdcard
Wait for it to complete and then reboot back into recovery and flash the copied siles..Done it loads of times and it works

I used a 32GB sdcard. I think it is a Patriot. So you mean, it should be possible to mount an external sdcard with TWRP and install from it? In the meantime I could solve it using the advanced options. There was nothing under /sdcard but the install-image under /emmc. So I copied it with TWRP to /sdcard and then thank God the installation worked after a few tries.

for two days now i've been trying to get jellybean 4.1.2 onto my galaxy s plus. i used odin multi-downloader to do the things suggested and when i get to the part involving the zip file on the sd card everything goes south. it gives me a "cannot mount" message and now basically the phone can either be put into downloading or recovery mode. i'm making a last attempt to get something going using the pda button and a zip file. but it's been over an hour now and i don't think i've resolved anything. got this message initially "<1> setup connection..." but the clock just keeps on ticking away.
i'm desperate and feeling stupid. and tired. time for bed. maybe someone can help walk me through this again.

that message is normal, you have the roms in external sd or internal? if they are in external sd you have to search with "internal sd" option (is an error, internal sd shows you the content of external sd and sd shows you the content of internal one). make a factory reset and then try to flash one of the rom you have on your sd (if you can find them), if you want 4.1.2 rom i suggest you ivendor's one
keep getting a can't find

Mmm... Do you have an external SD? If so put it in your PC and download a ROM, put on the SD and try again

Mmm is what i've been saying for days. i put the zip file ROM on the SD from my pc. then i put the SD card into the phone. but the result is always the same. i'm wondering if there are some drivers missing? it all seems so straightforward but it doesn't work.

no, is not some driver... try to format your extternal sd, then put the rom on it again, if it doesn't work try to flash another recovery , you can try this one, it is an odin package, so you can flash this the same way you flashed the other one http://d-h.st/beP
