Hi.
I have a Samsung Captivate SGH I897 and a few months ago I tried to install some custom rom dowloaded from xdadev... but I don't know what I did wrong and brick my phone. So I did some unbrick procedure and make it work again.
I have the 2.1 Android and for some reason I can't install any ROM. I think the biggest problem I have is that I can't even install the clockword mod recovery, I tried to download the app from the market and it says is unaviable for my android version.
I think I'm very stuck here.
Please help.
Thanks

I did all the procedure... but when I am in the recovery mode menu, I can't select the ROM, I select select from SD card and it only shows the folders of the internal SD card (not the removable). Stuck again.

Thank you

If not there...then go to "Mounts and storage", then "Mount USB storage", then connect ur phone to ur pc and copy the Rom to that. Then "Unmount". Then go back to "Install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" and select ur Rom and "Yes-Install"

It says its installed but when i go to recovery to reinstall packages it aborts it says there is an error on E or something...help?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
After rooting go to Apps> My Files to your phone's internal SD card and find a folder named "Clockworkmod" and open it. Inside (if you've properly flashed Clockwork Recovery) you will see a zip file named "recovery-update.zip". Copy that .zip to the root of the internal SD and rename it "update" ("update.zip").
Now just reboot into the stock recovery and click "reinstall packages".
Thanks a lot.

No, the phone doesn't see the internal sd .. when i plugged it to my laptop .. i saw the internal memory
I flashed back to GB 2.3.3 and rooted it and then went to recovery mode to install AOKP again ... and it rebooted and opened the phone before i be able to install gapps!!!!
As the instructions say .. flash Milestone and then flash gapps and then reboot?!!!
why did it reboot before i flash gapps?!!!!!!!!!!
And when i go to recovery mode to flash gapps .. it gives me the same error
'error mount /emmc'

you on a slim now?
Hi, Sorry if this question is asked else where, i tried searching or this but couldn't find.
i am currently using CM7.2 with original stock kernal. CWM 5+ installed.
My question is "how to install - [ROM](Official) XperiaTized V13 GT-Xperia S?"
i tried to find answer to this question in the same thread but there was nothing related to how to install
Can i simply put this in ext drive and via CWM, i can full wipe and install via "install zip from ext drive"
or
there is some other way?
Kindly help?
Regards

First... Put a habit of checking the op before you post something. There can't be a special thread on "How to flash " for every rom.
Second... Are you sure you pasted your rom in /sdcard or under some other folder ? Before bootloop, what rom were you using ?

You need CWM or TWRP recovery.
Download the "kernel.zip" to your phone.
Reboot to recovery and backup your current rom by go to "backup and restore"/"backup to external sd".
(If you want to go back to stock kernel you can restore boot.img by choose advanced restore and choose that boot.img in your backup.)
When backup is done, go back in menu and choose "install .zip from sd card", and then "choose zip from sdcard" or "choose zip from external sdcard" Depends on where you saved the "kernel.zip". Browse to that .zip and confirm with yes.
DONE!
Reboot phone.

You can install CWM through ROM Manager found on Play Store.
Good Morning everyone,
I haven't been able to get an answer in the forum related to this question
I keep reading TUTO in order to custom my new Mi5, and everywhere it is written :
Download the ROM
Put the zip files on your SDCard
Reboot in Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Select "Install zip from SDCard"
Flash
BUT, Mi5 does not support SDCard. How could I put it into it ?
Thanks,
Laurent

You can flash custom rom by going to recovery and select install zip from adb sideload.
Now, adb command prompt and type "adb devices" and press enter, it will recognize your device and then type "adb sideload (your_rom_name.zip)" and press enter it will flash zip file in your device......
[emoji117] NOTE:- Before performing any above steps you must have adb drivers installed in your pc..

Your phone does have SD Card. An internal one. Well, a partion of your internal storage is emulated as SDcard and mounted as /SDCard0

You don't need to boot your phone to copy the rom zip from your PC. You can do it while you are in recovery via MTP file transfer.

Thank you for your quick reply, but I have an issue.
I cannot find the folder /SDCard0 in my phone system. I have only /SDCard, which go directly to my internal storage.
FYI: I use TWRP 3.0.2

/SDCard or /SDCard0 makes no difference. Your internal storage it's seen by system as an SDCard. Copy there your rom. Zip and flash it. Those tutorials you are talking about are made with assumption that you download the rom zip on your PC. You can download those roms right on your phone using your phone browser. Like this it's much easier and you'll skip Step 2 the step that got you confused.
