I was trying to install the CyanogenMod on my Galaxy S Advance 10.2 with jeally bean. I have the files in the micro-sd, I insert it into the device, start the recovery mod, select "apply update from external storage", but unfortunately writes:
E: Failed to mount / sdcard (Invalid Argument)
How can I fix? Thank you very much.
Try first to wipe cache and dalvik and do a factory reset.
After that, choose "install zip from..." not "apply update..."

You used it before in stock recovery? If you didn't - maybe you need to repartition your sd card. Search xda for "how to repartition external sd card".

I have already done a factory reset but nothing to do. In my recovery is written "apply update ..." and not "install zip from ..." as in other cases.

I try to look for something about partitioning the SD.
Thanks.
I did not find true and proper guidance, you have any topics that you would recommend?
Or is it advisable to make the partition with rom manager?
Did you try flashing firmware from Odin.Then flash CM with custom recovery.
I have same problem. Just format sdcard and it works.

Have you installed a CoCore Kernel already ... because if their is a "apply update from external ..." then you are on the Stock Recovery ... For installing CM 10.1, 10.2 or 11 or for all other roms you need a CWM recovery ... You can go to "Original Android Development" area and there is a thread about CoCore Kernel made by CoCafe ... follow the instructions and if you have the CWM recovery after installing, their should be a "install zip from sdcard".

mate its pretty easy. When you are in cwm recovery on Philz kernel you will see an option to "Mount Storage". When you are in there you can now see options to "Format Preload" etc...
Thats what it means
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 do a complete wipe before installing rom.
if you have done that try fixing permissions from recovery.

Try this
Download zip(you have already done that)
copy the zip to INTERNAL MEMORY
reboot to recovery
Format system
format cache
format dalvik cache
format data(not internal sd)
and then proceed with installation
would recommend to remove ext sd while doing the procedure
wish you luck:good:

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,

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..

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.

I cannot find the folder /SDCard0 in my phone system. I have only /SDCard, which go directly to my internal storage.

/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.
