I usually download file on phone then transfer with Bluetooth to gear.Then when I open twrp I go to my Bluetooth folder then flash.You can also put mobilgo on computer and transfer that way.
You can put a app from market called Bluetooth file transfer on phone to transfer files.There's a guide somewhere on how to do it but it says you need app on both devices but you only need on phone.Its very easy to do,if you need help pm me.
How are you transfering with bluetooth??? Are you stock or rooted???

OK - rookie here - how do you install a .apk - I've downloaded one to my computer but don't know the next steps. The manual is silent and I think this is such a basic question that search on the forum didn't help.
Too bad there wasn't a basic FAQ for us newbies.
Thanks.
Jack
Connect your phone to your computer, drag the apk to your phone, use a file explorer on your phone (estrong) etc, to find the file on your SD card, click on it and it will give you an option to install it

You could also just use HTC Sync that came with your phone and push the .apk with that. It's how I installed Swype.

I formatted my internal and external sdcards today by mistake, now my download folders are gone, I was tolded this is normal since formatted deletes all data on card which is why my download folder is gone. I've tired downloading rom and modded recovery all day but I cant find them in root exploror anywheres, than I Google a random picuture and tried to save the picture but the download was uncuccessful. Can I fix this?

It sounds like this should be fixable, but could you please provide more information on your current setup (Android version, if it's a custom ROM, etc).
As far as getting ROMs and CWM to your phone, you may want to try downloading the roms/modded recovery on a PC (if one is available), then move them over to your phone. If everything was formatted and you're having trouble using root explorer, it might just be easier to do it that way.
Before today my phone was fine, it displayed downloads that I've done etc. I was trying to install a downloaded rom thru cwm but it didn't display "install from sdcard" with in cwm. I than clicked format sdcard for some dumb reason and It put me in my current state.

I see that you're on your phone now, which answers the question of whether or not you can boot, so that's good. If you've formatted your Internal SD card (which it sounds like you did - did it get rid of all your files on the phone?), you could probably just do a Titanium backup of what you still have and reinstall your ROM (assuming you're on a custom rom). That would likely correct the issue.

Assuming that it wasn't deleted in the format, I'd recommend reflashing whatever rom you're on and restoring your apps from Tibu.
the tibu backup is no more it would have been deleted when he formatted. look in your browsers settings for the default download directory. or make a folder on your sdcard called downloads and set it to there as default....

Yep, my back up is gone. I went to the download directory and all downloads in there say download unsuccessful, I than went to sdcard in root exploror and created a folder named download. I tried saving a few Google pics and they still come up download unsuccessful, I even tried downloading a file from xda and its not in my new download folder. I didn't set it as default since I don't know how to set it, I didn't see any options. Getting very frustrated.

That appeared to work, I saved a random picture and it was saved in my new download folder. But when I try and download the modded e3 signature file (which is what I've been trying to do) I see a quick download meter start and finish, after its done I can select close or open, if I click open I'm brought to rom manager with an install prompt were I can select or de-select a few things, than I'm put into recovery but it dkesnt show any place to install from sdcard. When I had to do this on my infuse once I downloaded the modded recovery it was listed in my downloads, id extract, copy and paste over original recovery but I don't see it anywhere in my captivates files.

Hmm It should be in the download directory...
You could always dl the recovery file to your pc and copy it over to the phone.

If the phone isn't showing up in any way when you hook it up to the computer (i.e. you can't select to mount the phone from the notification drop-down), that would be your option.

Before I say more - do you currently have the android default recovery or some version of CWM installed on your phone?
You're pasting in the modded 3e recovery I assume, that's in a place usually mounted read only. Using root explorer, there is a little button on the top right that says mount r/w press that THEN paste in.

hey everyone well i was having some problem with my htc one root that it went away sometimes but after flashing 1.65 its fine but before that i had some backups of the cwm but i cant find them on my phone.In my s4 they are always on cwm folder and then backups but cant find on htc one.
Can someone please help me
thanks
Pretty sure they're in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup - they can't be seen by a PC so you have to use a file manager on the phone to move them to the PC-readable part of your memory
Thanks for the reply bro but i can find it.Nothing in that folder or anywhere else.Are my backups corrupt or something?

Either move them to /data/media/0/... using the root explorer on your phone, then you can see them with the PC,
or
use "adb pull" on your PC.

Hi, can I suggest you create a symlink, that way both CWM recovery as well as your PC will see them; that's what I did and works fine

Let me know how this works for you. Just realized I don't have a single micro USB 2.0 cable in the house to connect my gear to my pc. The ones that came with it is only A/C. And all my new cables are 3.0. Not sure if micro is more fragile but I have had 3 micro USB 2.0 cables fail in the past year including the one that came with my note 2.
Success, no need to root.
Download free version es file to Gear.
Connect Gear to PC and open MobileMe software.
Drop wanted ringtones to Gear folder called ringtones.
Unplug Gear and reboot.
Go to settings-sound-ringtones.
Your new ringtones added should be there to select now.

hi ,
its not called ..MobileME ..??( re: windows o/s )
but....Wondershare MobileGo for Android !!
(and you dont need no root as stated originally..!!)
Just Google for it free 14 days trail version ,download install ,connect Gear to , usb on pc( make sure USB debug, in Settings on Gear is enable
..if you do not know or see it ask .)
Wondershare ..will install drivers for gear etc etc
look on left /down on Wondershare screen ,you will see" files " click on it
then either click on ringtones /notifications /alarms
copy and paste from pc directly into Gear....etc .
Reboot gear go to settings on Gear and select ..Sound
ringtones or /notification
you will be given option/complete action , to go to es file explorer or media storage ..
i choose media storage ( system app )
if you did not reboot you might not see your
personalised ringtones etc ..so reboot and it will /should appear
good luck !
post note
if you look on top left of wondershare screen ,
you will see that you can acess Google play market directly by clicking on it
( plse note ,free apps, only you can download )
and must have a internet connection of course ! )
Tip..do not sign into play store but acess the app directly and click install ,
app will be downloaded to wondershare and installed directly onto Gear.
Just use adb.exe from the Android SDK. It's free and easy.
adb push my_sound /sdcard/ringtones/

If there is a way to access system and root files from explorer please explain to me how it's done. I know you can copy/delete files from storage on Androids using Windows.
I have been trying to find a good way to transfer files between the phone and the pc since 4.3 touchwiz came out. I've been using SSH Droid for months but something in our system is throwing it off because it doesn't work on my 4.3 Note 3 or Note 2, but does work on CM 4.3 on a different device. SSH Droid was great if we could just find out what's borking it on our phones.
