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!

Hi guys, first of thanks for taking the time to consider helping me.
Basically, last night randomly my g1 just switched off. When i try to boot up, goes to g1 screen, then boot image, then blank screen.
Boot into recovery, and it doesnt register i have an sd card in it, i wanted to wipe and reflash cm, or nandroid restore. - but cant do either as it doesnt think i have an sd card inserted.
Any ideas how to fix?
Many thanks
Try mounting it on your computer, copying everything over and formatting. You can either put the card in an external reader or try to mount it via usb in recovery using 'ums_enable' and 'ums_disable'.

thanks Adrian. it wont let me mount it though, because it doesnt recognice that there is an sd card inserted. iv tried 3 different sd card, and it doesnt recognice that any of them have been inserted, so i figure its not my sd. :/

Hmmm... I guess the only thing left to try is formatting it externally and trying again.

i think an sdcard is necessary to apply an update.zip .. however if you have access to a nandroid backup you could fastboot flash the system, data, and boot .img's without an sdcard

Do a search in android development. It should be under Nandroid backup.
Basically you boot into fastboot and do these commands via adb:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot.
Look for the thread, though. It's been a while since I've used fastboot.

Using fastboot you can flash each part seperatly via usb, problem is ROMs are never distributed as seperate img's, just one update.zip. Buuuuuuut if your sd card will mount in your computer and you can find your nandroid folder, you will see that they are saved as multiple img's.
Once you have fastboot set up (instructions here) put the boot .img in the same directory as the fastboot executable. Boot the phone in to the SPL (home + camera) and enable fastboot. Then 'cd' to the fastboot directory in the command prompt or terminal (depending on OS) and type:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
If you're on a unix based OS, you maybe need to put a './' before that command.
Afterwards reboot your phone using 'fastboot reboot' (again you may need the './').
thanks guys i really apreciate this. il report back after iv had a go.
Almost forgot, make sure you clear the cache and data partitions first:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
Hi everybody!
I was wondering why I can't mount my sd card (ext. or internal) to PC, while I am in recovery?
What do I have to do in cwm recovery to get with my PC onto the SDs?
Help appreciated!

Is Philz...recovery not the original cwm?
Have you got a link to that?
In normal cwm recovery I tried that and it did not work for me.

Ok so I booted into Recovery, did Wipe Data/Factory Reset then went into Mounts and Storage and did format /system. I stupidly did all this without copying a custom Rom to my internal SD card first. The phone now doesn't boot, I can't mount USB storage in recovery because there is no option to do so and the RUU isnt available.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
PS. Yes I know I should have done a Nandroid backup first and yes I know I'm an idiot.

i have not flashed a rom yet and the stock rom works fine i just cant access sdcard
do i need to flash a rom?
which one? a stock one or a custom one?
stock one
okay
i cant access the sd card to copy a rom to
on the laptop the phone comes up like normal. click on it internal storage comes up like normal. but inside the internal storage folder has a folder called storage. inside that is emulated. inside that is legacy. inside that is the normal file structure.
windows errors when trying to copy files anywhere inside the internal storage folder
when in the camera app on the phone it shows a black image and click on the gallery icon it says no sd card
its like the "sdcard" is unmounted. how do i mount it? ive tried CW recovery and TWRP
try sideloading the ROM, there should be an option for adb sideload and use the command adb sideload romName.zip
is there an adb command to mount sdcard?

there should be in one of the recovery menus
This is exactly what has happened to my phone, and there seems to be more thread cropping up about this.
I can see in TWRP recovery there is an SDCard but cant do anything with it. I can flash a rom via sideload (hardly flashes, my lack of understanding) and from OTG USB in Recovery but there will be no installed rom once done, or at least it wont boot.
Same thing in CWM except that recovery can not see the SDCard so no mounting.
Good Morning everyone,

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.
