That what you trying to do is inpossible. For that you need prepared update.zip, and we do not have such thing. If you want to install ROM use install option in CWM or TWRP.

When my device was on gingerbread, I have no problem like that. This happened when I upgraded to Jelly Bean. I downloaded the root.zip from Shaaan, then I move the zip file to sdcard0, after that when I select 'apply update from external storage' it show the error.
Move Shaaan's file to extSdcard. Where you moved on sdcard0 is internal memory.

this is my first post.I flashed my (unrooted)phone with latest XXLQB(Serbia) update stock rom after that overall phone is working perfectly
but then i noticed that i cant copy any files into internal or even external sd card by chance sometimes it gets copied but almost all times it keeps giving me this error
0x800703EE the volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid
also if i tried to download apps from google play first it gave me 927 error but now it goes into just downloading bar while real download never starts
what should i do i dont want to root my phone.I did factory reset.

I have never heard anyone having a problem like the one you're having...
But you will have to Root in-order to Backup your Data and/or files... then flash CoCore Kernel with TWRP to boot to Recovery and Backup only your Data in your Micro SD card.... then perform a Factory Reset or go back to Gingerbread....
(You can try this too, but it won't be much help.. also this doesn't require any Root too)... Connect your phone with your PC and copy everything to your PC
About the Error 927 from Google Play.... I don't know about that too... but try Wiping Cache and Dalvik using TWRP...
and BTW. I think the error 0x800703EE the volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid" is a Windows related issue.. not Android related..
About that google play error code...you can try checking with google play support about the error code if it persist.
And are you by any chance using 3g? Because the default setting for Play is to block big downloads if you're using 3g. Check your play setting, and if that didn't help then cancel the download in the app page and then restart it. It will ask you to allow the download with 3g or something like that. Don't use the online google play (play.google.com) from browser for this. Use the app

Repartition external SD, told 100 times from me. Search xda, internet... For answer how to do it. It is not just format. You need to remove and add partition. This is if you do not see any file in recovry. If you do, than you are doing something wrong.

Using other external sd card for rooting won't create a problem. But u wud need this root zip file wen u reflash this JB or upcoming variants of JB.
For now its perfectly alrite.

Just as in previous post. And that happend because that second sd is partitioned as it should. That was the case for me too, old 2GB SD worked nice, and 8GB didn't work. After repartition of that 8GB it worked well too.

You can flash ur country's ROM using ODIN and for root u can use the same SD card and same root file for ur country's firmware. And backup the root file to your computer and copy it to sd card ONLY IF IT GETS DELETED.

Try doing a test with another card before flash again new ROM. Maybe your card is defective.
I do not know, I hdont have other ideas, perhaps colleagues to come with other solutions.

I think backing up data from sd, formating it and transfering dta back will help more than reflashing phones software. You got problem when you was using sd with other device, your phone didn't have any problem.
P.S. Didn't read all your posts, I used tapatolk. Try to repartition you sd card. There was problems with custom recoveries with some sd cards if theh was not repartitioned. Look in xda how to repartition sd card.

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.

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

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,
After some problems with mounting sd card on some ROMs I finally returned to stock firmware for i9070. One problem is - I do not see nothing in "apply zip..." either from sdcard or memory. I don't see nothing in catalogue tree. What should I do? I would try another time with one ROM but I cannot flash it via stock recovery. I tried to flash CWM (with kernel) but it has bricked my phone ;/
Or if somebody will provide me a link to good "other recovery" for i9070 I will be pleased and shake your hand

You need to install kernel with custom recovery. You did not tell what os yoh use, JB or GB.

You probably had CWM, not stock recovery.

Install CoCore-E, Harsh build. (Unzip it, use kernel.bin.md5 with Universal Kernel flasher, and you will need some root explorer like ES file explorer to use file with Universal kernel flasher.

You must put it in external SD card.
And if you put it there, and still do not see anything - you need to repartition your sd card. Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
Remember - repartition - not format. Backup your data from it, because you will loose everything from it.

Use USB mass storage. And you will see SD as you see it with card reader.

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?
