As we all know, we have to copy ROMs to our virtual SD card. The only way I have been able to copy a Rom to my device's internal memory is by going into my TWRP recovery, then by sideloading ADB. Is there another way to copy a Rom to my device without sideloading via ADB? Disclosure: I have a mac as my default computer, so I am unable to install the AIO. :/

If you used the "fastboot oem unlock" method, then your data partition was wiped clean afterwards. Assuming your apps installed to your SD card were done using the Froyo apps2sd method, only a part of each app was installed to the SD card. Some / most of the app (depending on the app) remained in your /data/app directory. Without both pieces (on internal and external storage), the apps won't work. You will have to reinstall those apps.
Hello, i have kies and adb installed on my pc, just need to know how to copy my ROM to phone internal SD memory?
Figured it out, just disabled usb debugging then copy from pc to phone
Well, i copied the file but just need to know, does it matter if the file says update.rar or should it be update.zip?
From my experience, it should be called update.zip

So, i just rename it to update.zip, should that work?
hi guys,
1st time poster here.
Managed to get a Nook Color and followed VG's guide to doing the CM7 on SD card install.
Works fine (went with CM7 build 113), established wifi connection, installed CWR 3.2 (the one built within RM) then used ROM manager to download GAPP. Went to install it via ROM Manager...reboots, looks like its going into recovery mode but this is what I get (see attached pic). It just shuts itself down and I can't do anything...
I've tried manually going into recovery mode, and I still get the same thing.
What gives? If someone could give me a pointer on how to fix this so I can install GAPP and Dalingrin's OC kernels that'd be much appreciated!
If you're using VG's method, you need to manually copy the gapps file into the /boot partition of the sdcard. Easiest way is to shutdown the NC, pull the card and stick it back into your computer and copy gapps do the partition that auto-mounts in Windows (assuming that's your pc's OS).
VG's recovery boot is telling you that it didn't find any files to install, so it shuts down. That's normal behavior.
Is it possible to do this on the nook?
I've got the files on the nook but I can't seem to access the boot partition.
I tried putting the SDcard into my PC but Windows doesn't recognise the partition and keeps wanting to format it...
OK, I tried booting into recovery mode WITHOUT the SD card in. Well it went into CWR...
Seems like CWR has flashed itself onto the internal storage of the NC. That's no good since I don't want to disturb the stock BN install!
I need to figure out how to move the gapp zip file into the root path or boot partition of the SD card as file manager will not let me do it....sigh...
Finally worked it out.
Not sure why I couldn't use the SD card in my laptop. Anyway I booted into CWR, inserted SD card into Nook, then mounted USB storage...from there I copied the zip files I needed onto the boot partition and voila! sweeet
Long story short -- I'm selling my Note 4 so I wiped/formatted EVERYTHING (used "format data" option in TWRP which required me to type "yes"). After that happened I found I didn't have an OS installed. Ok, no big deal right? I'll mount my sdcard and copy the stock firmware over than flash with TWRP.
WRONG. Every time I try to copy a file to either the sd card or the internal storage, I get the following error message:
"Cannot copy Trltetmo_N910TUVU1ANJ7_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Its file size is larger than the device limit."

Wtf? In file explore it says that the SD card has 29.7GB free space available. And internal storage has 24.1GB. Obviously something is not right here.
Is it possible that TWRP didn't format things correctly? I just want to know how to fix this so I can get the stock firmware back on this bad boy and get it sold. I have been out of the android scene for awhile so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Also, not sure if it's worth noting but when I mount my Note 4 in windows with TWRP both the internal storage and sd card have like no file structure or files whatsoever. Completely empty. Also interesting is every time I reboot with TWRP, it asks if I want to install supersu or whatever to root the phone. I say "yes" but each time I reboot after that it asks me the same thing like it didn't actually do anything.
You can use ODIN to install Stock firmware on phone. So you won't need to copy anything to phone/sdcard memory.
If you still want to install that deodexed rom you mentioned, you need to plug your sdcard to computer using a sdcard adapter. TWRP built-in mount fails most of the times when trying to copy big files.

I guess that's not actually the "stock" stock firmware. Because the file I have is a .zip and is apparently incompatible with Odin. I will go to sam mobile and download the firmware there.
Do you recommend I download the most recent firmware should I flash the one that came with the phone?
Also, I hope that once I get the firmware back on, I will be able to copy large files when mounting normally once booted into the OS...

Yes, download the latest firmware and install it using ODIN.
You would be able to see and copy/paste to your internal and memory card normally after phone boots into android.
I am unable to locate magisk in internal storage in TWRP. Internal storage shows some size but cannot see the zip file anywhere. I also dont own a sd card so using that is out of the option. I have even tried adb sideload but it was showing as error 2. I am just 1 step away to root my phone and that is just to install magisk somehow on my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

first, get a micro sd card. on some roms you might encounter a problem with data decryption of internal storage, thus making reading anything with twrp unusable. also you need one to make a nandroid backup to restore your phone. second, see where your browser downloaded the file. perhaps in android/data ? some of them do download there, since scoped storage

Thanks for the response. I thought we can root without sd card as nowadays phones come with internal storage. Anyways, I have not added customised rom its the original one that I use. The file I downloaded was in another zip folder, not in android/data as seen on pc. also in twrp I can see my storage is mounted like I can see the size number "Internal Storage (532276mb)" something like this but I am still unable to locate a single folder let alone any file in internal storage. I am so confused as how to proceed further.
try removing any security from your phone, like fingerprints or pin. maybe thats a reason
