[Q] CWM Based Recovery Image

Hey !
Could someone upload a recovery.img from the CWM Based Recovery which get installed if you install clockworkmod 10.1 ?
i really need that file cuz im not able to access my internal sd card (somehwat phone still boots normal) neither my external sd card. i want to flash a zip via sideload.. I only found old Clockworkmod which hasnt got this feature..
Regards

Install a rom via Odin so you can acess recovery. After that you can flash cm10.1 and install the zip without problems.

problem is if i flash a rom via odin (tried with and without pit) i still cant access my sd card (neither internal nor external) in recovery..

Check re-partition when using Odin.

[SOLVED] Installed CWM on stock 2.3 - now in bootloop

I have installed semaphore cwm on a stock Galayxy S 2.3 phone. I can get into recovery mode and also download mode. However, when I try and boot the phone it just flashes up the usual Glxy S boot screen and goes no further. I cannot work out how to get Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 zip on to the /sd card when I can't boot the phone. I have put the zip on to the external sd, but that is no good as CWM doesn't see the external SD.
I am getting desperate as it is my daughter's phone and she will not be happy if I have bricked it. I am running linux mint 14.

To put files into sd card when you are in recovery mode, just go:
Mounts & Storage -> mount usb storage
Then put your zip file and flash it.

1 step forward and 2 steps back.

Thank you so much for this advice. It worked. I got the phone going again and then, to my eternal shame, I did a restore on CWM. I should have done an advanced restore and only selected what I needed. So now I am back where I started, but in a worse position. CWM is displaying error messages such as failed to open /etc/recovery.fstab, can't mount /cache/recovery....I can't install from the internal sd as it can't be seen. I feel like screaming. I have tried re-installing CWM, doing a factory re-set, wiping the cache and dalvik cache, all to no avail.
I wouldn't blame you for giving up on me!

You can use a Rescue Kit from My Android Collections to solve your problem or look in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30415128#post30415128 for a solution
You can use a Nandroid Manager app ( from google) to recover data from your backups

Thanks very much. I am now up and running. You have a mighty impressive set of android software.

Why cant I mount the storage inside recovery

I am using clockworkmod recovery but I cannot mount storage. Am I missing something? Drivers in place. Fastboot abd both work. But I cannot mount the storage. I am not new to this just new to the phone.

Is there a way to get a ROM on via fastboot or something?

When you hit the mount button should the storage show up as a drive? It worked on my old phone with external storage. What am I doing wrong?

Doesn't work for phones with internal storage from recovery, cannot mount in recovery. Something to do with how internal storage works with the MTP

Thank you for the reply. I had a friend bring over his phone that was only booting to bootloader and had no ROM's in storage. I managed to get it back by fastboot flashing a boot.img from the viper ROM that was installed on his phone before. Normally I would have just copied a good ROM to the storage through recovery and flashed it. Afterwords I made a backup and warned him not to delete it.
Thanks again everyone for all the support this site provides!

If you need to send a rom or anything to your internal storage from recovery just do : adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/

Easiest way is to get a 4 $ OTG cable from Amazon and a SanDisk 16 GB USB stick. Then choose in recovery 'install zip from external SD card'
I also keep a Nandroid on there. In recovery there is the option 'back up to external SD card'
Really gives a peace of mind!

Do you have rooted your phone?
You must root, install Universal Kernel Flasher and try again.

Instal ROM without SD card

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.
