I started this thread in the "General discussion" section about this but I'm starting to think my problem might be more SGS specific.
My problem is that my phones USB connection stopped working then I foolishly reformatted my system partition with out having another ROM with which to replace it. I still have "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3" installed but am unable to find a way to install another ROM. Most people seem to say flashing from an external SD card is trivial with CWM but I can't work out how to do it. Does anyone know a way to flash a ROM from the external SD card with CWM v2.5.1.3 on an SGS, or any other way I could get an image back on my phone that doesn't require a working USB connection?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Go into update from zip as usual then scroll down to external sd... if that's not working go into advanced and check if external sd is mounted

You may need to update cwm, I don't think the earlier versions hadan option to flash from Ext sd

Yeah, I think that might be the case. There is an option to "mount /sd-ext" but I don't think that actually mounts the external SD card. I think it has something to do with an "extended" or "extra" partition. In any event, when I select the option I get this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File exists)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
Also, I can't see an "external sd" option under "update from zip". Under "install zip from scdard" there is an option to "choose zip from sdcard" but this doesn't seem to access the external card.
Any idea how I might be able to update to a later version of CWM?

Try plugging the phone In to the computer when In recovery and mount USB storage and see if it comes up on your pc?

No worries (it was pretty stupid of me).
Called a repair shop today, it will cost $80 to get the USB port replaced. Trying to decide between forking out $80 or donating it to landfill.

Have you tried pushing files to sd card with adb?
Since the phone is worth over £200 I would get it fixed you should look online and see how easy it is to fix you might be able to or know someone who can fix it at a cheap price (that part is most likely on sale online for way less)

Well, here it is: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-...Parts_Tools&hash=item2571b036fe#ht_1558wt_952
Just have to work out how to do it now.
I had the phone in pieces the other night trying to clean the port and that socket seem pretty firmly attached. Have to see if I can turn up any instructions. There are lots of sights saying they'll do it for you but haven't been able to find any instructions on how to do it myself yet.

I just bought a used Dell Streak 7 off of eBay and I'm about to return it. But before I do, I wanted to see if anyone could help me with a problem.
EVERY TIME I reboot the tablet, it resets itself. Brings up the Android screen where I have to press on the Android then continue to setup the tablet which is very annoying. Can anyone help?
The tablet is on 2.2. T-Mobile version with the slot for SIM card and WiFi.

I downloaded the updates from the first post on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431797.
One at a time I transferred them onto the root of my SD card and changed the names to "Update.pkg", also tried "update.pkg". Then I entered recovery holding volume up and the power button. Used volume down to scroll to the option to update from SD card. Pressed power to run the update, it ran for about 30 seconds to a minute but then would come up with a FOTA name mismatch error and reboot.
I tried downloading updates from another website but I can't remember where it was exactly.
EDIT: I just tried all the PKG files at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official. Almost all of them come up with a FOTA name mismatch, even the US 4G one. The only one that doesn't come up with that error is version 336. But that one comes up with another error, "Install modem error. System will upgrade again."

The first problem I ran into being new to Android was thinking exactly that SD Card meant internal memory because that's what a file manager calls it.

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.

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

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
Ive been having trouble and flashing roms for the past week trying to get my captivate to boot, but i constanly either get into a boot loop or i load into a black screen.
In CWM 5.1.0.7, when i choose "Install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard" i get a "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" error.
If i go to "Reformatting, tweaks and more > System Information > Browse directories and files", ill get "No files found." on a few of the directories and my /bin folder only has "init.goldfish.sh" in it. most of them have only bare minimal things in them. (im not sure if this is normal or not)
How should i go about fixing this?

4 days later, I finally have the time to have one last follow up problem. I've flashed a CM11 nightly and my external sd shows up as my main storage in settings. I can download apps but i still can't access my camera or save pictures from the internet(it tells me "no SD card , and sd card is required to download). Also tested this with the voice recorder, it wouldnt start and told me the same thing.
Is this normal with the method you gave or have i done something wrong?

I got it completely working with your advice but when i took the phone out of my pocket it was stuck on the neat kernal loading screen and rebooting it wouldnt help. I decided to flash back to stock and redo the process. I wiped all data etc. in recovery but when i went to partition the sd card again in cwm it finished instantly.
My pc wouldnt read it and even my another phone didnt detect it was there.
I'm assuming the SD card just died, its verbatim 8gig(Not sure if thats a reliable brand or not).
Could this be because i did something wrong is it just a coincidence with the sd card dying? Im buying a sandisk soon anyhow.

No it shouldn't as it could format the SD card by it self. Unplug from computer and format in recovery and also. There's a sneak peak for a upcomming ROM for sxl

i found the solution. if you did a backup it will work. in cwmr you navigate: backup and restore and confirm,than navigate to advanced restore and confirm. you will get a backup file,confirm on that file,now navigate to restore sd-ext and confirm and wait.after done,reboot. now works with no problems. i had same problem,i downloaded 5 roms for htc from this site(developers) and all have same annoying thing with external card. if i restore my whole system always work.so problem are those roms,something is not made it properly sigh.
