[Q] Challenging technical issue

I have a problem and i would be very thankful if anyone could help me solve it:
I looked around the guides here and on youtube and found out that installing a custom rom is much better than sticking with the original gingerbread, so that's what i did. I tried RocketRom for a while and decided that i want to try checkrom to see which is better. So i downloaded the rom, performed all the wipes (cache, dalvik and battery stats) and reset the phone to factory. However due to my immense stupidity i forgot to put the rom on the internal phone memory and i saved it on my microsd card instead. so now i'm stuck: I can't access my internal phone memory because my phone won't start (either bootloops or it shows the boot animation once and then a black screen with nothing on it). And i wasn't able to use CWM to flash the rom using my microsd card because it keeps giving me the error "unable to mount". I looked around again and read that i should format the microsd card but nothing changed and i kept getting the same error.
So this is basically it. Is there a way to access the internal phone memory with my phone turned off? If not, what should i do? I just need to paste the damn rom but i couldn't figure out what to do :S
Any suggestions will be very very appreciated, and thank you for your cooperation

Seems like you have issues with CWM as I can access the external sd card without problems..
I think that your only solution is to:
-flash a pre-rooted GB ROM from THIS thread
- Use Chainfire's corresponding kernel to the ROM you flashed so you can get CWM recovery, get it from HERE
- after having both rooted ROM and the CWM recovery transfer the ROM you want to the sd card and flash it from CWM Recovery
Hope this helps

thanks
Thank you for the prompt reply, but i am still quite confused: how can i flash a rom if my phone does it boot? how will i get the rom to the phone memory? Remember the microsd card isn't working so i can't use it for flashing.

The ROMs in that thread use the .tar format and are flashed using PC Odin which uses download mode follow the instructions posted there and you're out in no time hopefully

OK
Ok which version do you recemmend? and should i use a wipe or non-wipe version?

Unfortunately the setup wizard has stopped

i installed the NAA kernal and CM9, and all going great, i did however realise that i needed to install gaaps, so i placed on card, rebooted into recovery and installed, all going good, and then after bootup where you tap the android man to continue. this is what i get 'UNFORTUNATELY THE SETUP WIZARD HAS STOPPED'..
I cannot bypass this. ive tried installing two different gapps on it, and both times this..
any help would be appreciated

try to clear dalvik cache from cwm -> advanced

Hello guys!
I'm new to the forum, and a total noob when it comes to android. I have a VERY similar problemToday I installed the latest version of CM. Worked fine. I installed gapps. Now when I turn on the device, it just shoes the message and I can't do anything. I wanted to try reflashing a newer version of gapps, but I can't put it on my sd card, because my computer won't detect it anymore...I can't use my phone at all, I am starting to panic :/

Bricked after ROM Flash

I had a stock Optus firmware for my s5830 running 2.3.6 Gingerbread. I installed a zip off the internet to remove the stock Optus apps so I could root the phone, which i ended up doing.
I then installed Clockwork Mod 5, which installed successfully. After, i proceeded to install a custom ROM called "The Ultimatum", the installation went fine, i selected the kernel which didn't require an extra partition so it would not go into a bootloop. No errors were shown during installation.
I then rebooted my phone and now it is stuck into a bootloop. I thought "Oh yeah, i can just flash the custom 2.3.6 firmware back onto my device, which i have done many times". But to my surprise, my PC does not recognize my phone in download mode. I have tried using two cables as well as deleting drivers and reinstalling them.
If it helps, i once had ROM Manager installed as it said so on an online tutorial for my exact device. I did not use any features in it, but it is installed. Also when i mount the sd card to the computer, it is fully empty.
Anyone please help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated,

Thankyou for this, it must have been something with the USB port on my main laptop as I used my school laptop and it all worked fine. Without the sd card it went into another boot loop, Odin seemed to like the sd card :/ It has booted up fine.
Only problem now is when I apply the root zip SuperSU is not showing, I'll fully set up the device and then I'll see if it is a problem.

[Q] accessing external SD from recovery?

So I rooted my daughters samsung SGH-T599N, and installed philz touch and was planning on putting a custom rom on the phone. unfortunately out of habit, I put the rom file, and gapps file on the external SD, booted to recovery.. wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset to install a new rom. Unfortunately this device will not access the external SD card through the recovery, and now the phone just gets stuck with the samsung logo when turned on (so i cant turn debugging on again).... I can't get odin, or any other program to read and connect properly.... and now I'm stuck... I have been searching online for several days now trying to find a solution, but have come up empty. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.. I was even thinking to use adb to transfer files over but have been unsuccessful as of yet ...

sorry to burst your bubble but this exhibit 4g section is for T679 version.

do you have cwm installed? if so you could boot into that and in the advanced menu there's an option called mount usb storage. just make sure your phone is plugged into your computer boot into cwm and then advanced/mount usb storage, then open my computer and your external drive should so up also your internal I believe, so you could transfer your new rom and gapps to a new location of your choice.. though i'm not sure how you'd would do this on odin or other recovery software.

I actually had philz touch cwm installed, but I resolved the problem by flashing back to stock with odin in recovery mode... turns out this device just doesnt read external sd from recovery. adb push didnt work, sideload didnt work..lol . But good ole odin saved my butt again
this thread is a lifesaver---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503550

i have the t599 using it now. got twrp from vanir rom after getting cwm and root. then flashed rom over. been messing with both vanir and carbon. but anyways i can flash from sdcard and extsd. only issue i have at the moment with new roms. after installing 2 games i have 0 freespace on /data. then again i dont use my phone much and just too lazy to find a workaround atm.
also everything ya need to know for the t599 is here as far as recoveries, custom roms, etc

[Q] Accidentally deleted my entire SD Card.

Hi all,
I accidentally (stupidly) deleted my entire SD card only Galaxy Gear 1 so my watch as no operating system.
I had previously installed the custom boot loader HERE
So I can access the modified bootloader without any problem and I can connect to odin and wondershare without any problems also. (wondershare is useless though because I cant enable USB debugging to access the device)
Is there any way I can get access to the SD card using the modified bootloader or odin? I would like to try and upload the Null rom zip file to the SD card and reinstall it using the boot loader's installer? Or do I have to reinstall the stock rom? If have to do that, I can use this guide right?
Also, I deleted the entire SD card and I have no OS on the device why does the bootloaders file manager say I only have 2.4gb free? What's happening with the other 1.6gb?
Thanks in advance all!

No matter, just flashed the stock rom and started again.

How?
