I am looking to install crDroid on a stock (24A) / rooted phone. I already have TWRP on it. but I cannot find the zips (rom and gapps) when I am in TWRP. My phone is encrypted, so that may be why I cannot find them on the emulated sdcard, but is there a place in the file system that I can place the zip so that I can wipe data/cache/dalvik and still be able to install the rom? Thanks for your help.

I have searched for a few hours and can't find anyone with a similar issue.
I have my 2.2 captivate rooted and unlocked with CWM and TB installed. Got the Cyanogen 7 zip install on my sd card.
Loaded CWM Recovery and backed up my rom.
Restarted and went to CWM to Install Rom from SDCard
It doesn't point to the SD card, however. It starts in the Internal storage, so i choose external_sd/ then the update file
it boots into recovery, formats the phone, but gives me the "No such File or Directory" message with the path set to SDCARD External SD Update.zip(Cyanogen install)
So it thinks my internal storage is my SD card?
So its pointing to the wrong directory, but i cant find an option anywhere to make it go through the right directory.... help?
sorry, mods please delete.
It is installable througn CWM,

Harder way:
Make sure you're running a Eclair/Froyo Firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders!
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)

Try taking out your external sd before you flash, and if you have anymore problems post in the CM7 Q&A thread
I have TWRP 2.5.0. I was trying to install a new rom and now I cant get anywhere.
I copied over my new rom to my storage then reboot to recovery. I wiped everything possible. Now my rom is gone and either I'm not using the mount function in twrp properly, or its not working. Now I have no rom, now way to copy a rom, so no phone. What can I do now?
Never mind, I found a guide to side load.
Hi, i recentry rooted my samsung s3 mini for installing the new kitkat rom.
So, i followed the steps, saved the new ROM on my external sd card and formated the system.
The problem is this: when i was browsing the zip file with the ROM on the costume recovery menu (I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7), a message appears saying "no files found".
So now I can´t reebot my phone beacause it has no OS and I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Never, ever format the system.
If you're on stock just do that:
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Choose Wipe data/factory reset
3-Flash cm rom
4-Flash gapps
5-Reboot
Done, that's it.
If you want to update cm roms (or any rom):
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Flash cm update
3-Choose Wipe cache & dalvik cache
4-Reboot
Done.
You don't need to mess up with anything more.
P.S. better use twrp 2.7 from novafusion, for better compatibility.

Thanks but it still doesn't work. I want to flash the rom but the rom file its in the external sd card and it says that there are no files found. And when i hook up the phone to my pc the phone is detected, however I can´t acess the sd card.
Maybe if there's a way for me to acess the ext. sd card and change the rom file for the internal memory it would work. Do you know how can i do this?

Euhm, it might be a weird idea, but you take your external SD-card, put it in your card reader, connect the card reader to your pc, and copy the zip to (let's say) the root of the SD-card
CWM should be fine, but I'm used to TWRP. You can find it on the novafusion website. (search novafusion TWRP)
If you can't boot into CWM or TWRP, or files still don't show up on the browsermodule in the recovery rom, you still have the possibility to flash your ROM using odin. Check the installation guide on novafusion, it gives you a link to all the files you need and a detailed description how to install your rom.
Hello, i wiped today by missclick all data i had, system, dalvik, cache, data and internal storage.
All i have is just TWRP, how to send any package with example CM to phone and flash it via TWRP to boot phone?
Mount USB storage, then transfer the .zip file of the ROM you want, then flash it.

Google sideload Rom and try it.
I made The same, after wipe i could not Mount my PC so i sideloaded the Rom via adb. Try to Flash different TWRP Version or plus in Power on off during loop
Still, if after trying a usb mount and/or adb sideload and it doesn't help you, you can always download the fastboot package for your device and flashing it using fastboot manually or using Mi Flash
Just connect your phone to your computer and copy over the .zip file of the ROM that you want to install. Also, don't forget to flash GApps (as a .zip from TWRP)
Tap on "Install"
Find the .zip that you want to flash
Now swipe to confirm.
Now flash the GApps package you downloaded (only for Stock ROMs if I'm not wrong.)
Now wipe Dalvik Cache
And Reboot into system
If you just want to install MIUI then download MiFlash from here. Now go over here and follow the instructions to flash the Fastboot ROM of your choice.
I'm having an with the phone storage. I have 12.74gb of system data which means I can only install an app without the storage error (some functions may work). I have factory reset, reinstalled the 14.1 ROM, formatted the /system partition, cleaned to install a new ROM, cleared both the cache and the dalvik cache, all in CWM. For some reason I think the 10.1 CM ROM I previously had is still on there, even after doing the above mentioned. Could anyone suggest some steps to resolve the issue please?
Install twrp recovery and Before flashing wipe data,cache,dalvikcache and flash zip file and then reboot
