[Q] Old files in stock recovery - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've got problem with my stock recovery. I flashed XXLQE via Odin, and i want isntall root, or kernel. I did all wipes, also clear internal memory and sd card. On my computer I see on my sdcard only update.zip file. This is Shaan temporary recovery. In file manager i see only update.zip too. But if i turn on my device in recovery mode, and then install file from external(something like that ) I see all my files, which i had before format my sd card. Have you ever had problem like this?

Repartition SD card, not format. Search xda "reparition sd". For that you need card reader or mount SD as USB MASS STORAGE.

Oo thanks man, it's work perfectly. And I flashed soft via odin 3 times. Do you maybe know what was cause of that? Thanks again.

Some problem with recovery and partition of sd I think. I had that too, on GB and TWRP recovery.

[Q] need to copy and update.zip to internal sd, problems!

hello,
I explain what happened.. after a little bad luck I briked my phone, but I have the update.zip to restore the previous state, the problem I have is that update.zip is in my pc.
how can I transfer the update.zip file to my phone if it's bricked?
I tried to go into CWM recovery, and then connect via ADB, but my pc it doesn't detect the phone (I've installed samsung usb drivers from this forum). also I tried the option "mount USB storage" in CWM but my pc doesn't do anything, and I have the sdcard mounted.
what can I do? thanks in advance!
best regards!
Jord
try to put the file on external sd and see if you can flash it thru recovery.
otherwise boot into download mode and flash that son of a ***** !!!
thanks a lot for your answer
the problem is that I have a trip pictures in internal SD card, that's why I'm avoiding to flash again through Download mode. (I have all other data in a backup except the pictures!)
now I've copied the update.zip to the external sd, I've mounted the external sd, but when I chose external_sd folder to apply the update.zip it says that "no files found" all possible methods aren't working
it was worth a shot but i didnt think it would work.
i think to flash from the external sd requires a steam kernel.
anyway, try do do a factory reset and see it that helps. along with formatting cache / dalvik cache
this will not delete items on your internal sd card

Odin doesn't touch the Internal SD, so why should that be an issue?
thanks both for your answers.
the problem is that I have voodoo lagfix enabled, and I can`t disabled it because it says that there is not enough free space on sd card (because of the pictures I want to save), so I think that with voodoo lagfix enabled I can't restore the firmware via odin, unfortunately. I wish I'm wrong
thanks a lot again
Just flash 2.1 with 3 files + re partition checked

my odin shows that they are two devices connected when I connect my phone (because of voodoo lagfix enabled) so.. are you saying that even if in that state, I reflash my stock firmware with repartition enabled, my sdcard data will be fine after reflashing? I ask that because unfortunately I'm not sure
thanks a lot

[SOLVED] System Recovery ERROR.

I cannot access my present usb storage memory from 'Install zip from sd' option in System Recovery and the reason according to me for this is I switched off my mobile before storage scan completes and so partial scanned files are visible ONLY in system recovery . I reflashed the XXLQB version (which I am currently using) even did cache and data wipes twice. I also formatted my USB storage also but still I can see the folders and files which were partially scanned. The changes i make to those folders are not reflected in system recovery. I even flashed XXLQ4 firmware but the system recovery showed the same files inspite of an empty USB storage. Luckily the root.zip (by Shaan) had been scanned, so I can root my device after flashing.
Please Help guys !!!
Regards,
Chirag

As I remember stock recovery only see external memory. So you can't use internal anyway.

You remember correctly. I tried it a couple of days ago and stock can only see external.
Flash a custom kernel (there is a stock kernel with TWRP recovery on the forum if you don't want a custom kernel).

[Q] Urgent Help required - Not able to locate update zip in Stock Recovery

Greetings,
Unable to find the flashable update zip file from stock recovery 3e which exists on my sdcard.
I need to install CWM recovery and flash cocore kernel and root. I did this earlier countless times.
I am on stock XXLQL 4.1.2 Italy FW. Just FYI, a couple of days back I had flashed HarshJelly 4.
Below are the options in stock recovery <3e> -
1. reboot system now
2. apply update from ADB
3. apply update from external storage
4. wipe data/factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. apply update from cache
When I select 3rd option, I cannot see the update.zip or any other file which is in my sdcard (internal storage). I just see below –
Choose a package to install:
/sdcard
../
Added information is, when I go to root of the phone with Solid explorer, I can see below relevant directories –
sdcard <this is a symlink for /storage/sdcard0>
storage <inside this there is sdcard0 dir>
Inside storage there is sdcard0. And when I access the same directory by either ways (clicked symlink OR went is storage/sdcard0), I could see all my flashable files over there.
I already read something about this being related to 4.2 JB version. However, did not find any confirmed resolution or workaround on any forum.
I have already tried -
1) formatting of internal storage (sdcard0) and external storage (memory card) from phone settings -> storage -> Format USB storage AND Format SD card.
2) That didn’t work hence, I tried formatting my ext card (referred some XDA link) from PC with all - FAT32, NTFS and something like ext.... Still no luck.
3) Downloading zip files again to ensure they are not currupted.
Please note that I can copy data to both storages, hence I think my storage doesn’t look like corrupted.
It will be a great help if you can guide me to resolve this issue. :fingers-crossed:
Stock recovery let you search for update.zip in external sdcard (/storage/extSdCard/ on stock jb)

I have already kept the update.zip in both internal and external sdcards (/storage/extSdCard/ and /storage/sdcard0/). Missed to mention that.
However, could you please confirm on this as the symlink /sdcard in the root is for /storage/sdcard0 which is internal sdcard.

You need to provide more details
- what rom are you using
- of what you did before this happen.
- And by "usb storage" to you mean it is an internal sdcard or external one. I guess it is internal?
One easy thing you can do is to flash PhilZ kernel suitable for your rom. Then from PhilZ touch recovery you can format internal sdcard. Speedmod Kernel is very good but the recovery it uses is outdated.
http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=23431#files
I do nothing before that it just happen
Yeah I mean internal sd not external one
If i flash philiz recovery how I format the internal ?? Just by wiping data , cash and delvic or what??

Go into "Mount and Storage menu" and choose "format emmc" it will format your internal sdcard. You will loose all the data on it like photos documents...
Before format you may want to check if Philz Kernel help solve problem by it self and no need to format.
And which rom are you on? you should choose the suitable PhilZ kernel for your rom.
Thank you for repling me so quickely I will check and tell you
