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

Thank you guys! You are awesome! I really appreciate your help! Just copied Apex 9.2 ROM into SD and get it installed. Thanks again!
I wiped my system with TWRP and now I am searching for a solution to install an image from an external sd-card or from a pc. I thought I could mount the external sd-card, because there is an option but I can't.

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.

Well Done! emmc can be recognized by cwm, what i mean before, sometimes (rarely) some external sd cannot be mounted, i m now searching for some info on that, as some of my friends here complaint their cwm cannot detect emmc or externalsd but da card can be access from inside ROM, i try it myself n found several sd (dont know if size n type or class differ) cannot be mounted.
If success then well done

I have no idea, if it was important to copy form /emmc to /sdcard. So the img was on an internal partition.

Oh yes, I don't touch it again, at least until the next update and things start to fail. I have banned gmail now, it was something with gapps and I had no idea why I got errer messages every few seconds.

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
hello, i've got a problem with recovery in my Ace. I wanted to root it, but when i uploaded the file root.zip on the sd card, recovery doesn't see that. The file is certainly on the sd card, i've tried to change the designation to update.zip but it didn't help, cause recovery can't see any files, only folders. Thanks in advance for help.
It is the problem with the unclean android system. Flash stock via odin & format sd card & copy the files freshly. Everything will be alright.

Hi
I have the Samsung galaxy S Advance (DULP8) and I want to root it. I followed the steps to root but when i copy the root.zip into my external memory card and then go try to flash that via stock recovery(update via external storage ) i don't see it ? in fact there is stuff that dosent belong to me like some song folders and such
I even tried copying the file in internal and external still no luck . I had the device earlier and it was running gingerbread then it got messed up and i sent to Samsung to repair they repaired it and returned with jellybean 4.1.2 installed :highfive:
I don't know what to do i am so frustrated and cofused about where the hell does the folders come from which i have no clue about ?
Also in the storage in settings there is three tabs
1.Device memory
2.Internal Storage
3.Sdcard
When i select update from external storage in recovery it dosent even go to my external sd ?
From recovery choose "install zip from external sdcard" don't use update.

Is there install? Or apply update from external storage?
Ok, I did not use stock recovery for a long time - I do not remember what is exacly. If you do not see anything from "update from external storage" you will need to REPARTITION your SD card. This is not formating, this is erasing partition and creating it again. Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
You will lose data from it, so I suggest you to backup it to a computer.
Sometimes you pasted your zip on a folder that is down below than those that stock recovery displays
So what you have to do is: go to your file explorer (personally I use ES file explorer) and enable display of hidden files, then some folders with . will appear so try pasting the zip on one of those folders
If stock recovery doesn't show anything when apply updates is pressed, then you'll have to do what shut_down said
Stock Recovery does show things in External storage

You need to put root.zip on EXTERNAL SD. It is not shown in INTERNAL.
This might work but first you need to backup all your data: from ext-sd and from usb storage.
Then factory reset you phone. After that format your ext-sd with sistem file "FAT32" . When done with that put only the "root.zip" on the sd.
After all above is done try to install the root file with stock recovery.
P.S If this doesn't work you might be stuck on the stock JB for a long time.

Are you tried internal storage?
Hi All,
I have am issue trying to root the GT-I8160. I put the root.zip onto the SDCARD and boot into recovery then try and "Apply update from external storage". The porblem is the file structure that follows isn't what I've got on the SDCARD.
I've attached a picture so you can see what I mean.
Selecting one of the listed directories just brings up nonsense, random characters.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I do not own your phone but I had an Ace for some time and I think you shouldn't "apply update from sd card" but rather "install zip from sd". Then find the fule and install
