[Q] Can't 'install zip from sd card' Help!

Hi all,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S I9000, but I don't have the stock Live Wallpapers.
Now I wanna install/do this:
"First place SamsungLWP.zip on the root of your SDcard (plug your phone into your computer and transfer the samsungLWP.zip to your phone's sdcard)
1. Go into rom manager and reboot into recovery
2. scroll down to install zip from sd card and press the power button
3. scroll down choose zip from SD card again hit power button
4. highlight signed SamsungLWPs.zip
5. Hit power button
6. Go back until you get to the reboot option I think back twice Reboot phone
7. go to personalize in setting options select htc wallpapers select live wallpapers and pick one to enjoy one"
I can't do the 2nd step, because there is no choice to select 'install zip from sd card'.
Can anybody help me?
I've got the stock rom (Froyo) and the phone is rooted.
Help would be appreciated

nobody?, I really need this now

did you fetch cwm?
The instructions assume you have CWM recovery (or a similar tool) on your phone.
In order to install programs in this manner you have to get CWM recovery. (search for rom manager in market and flash cwm (it's the first option from the top),
then again, I'm assuming you're getting this since you're still on 3e (the recovery most galaxy s phones come with). What I'd like you to do is get your phone into recovery mode and tell me what the very first line on the top says.

Hi,
The first line says: 'Android system recovery <3e>'

theres your problem you need recovery 2e
search for CWM in either update.zip or Flashable Odin version like cf-root.
if you get the update.zip version you need to put it on the root of your internal sd card, boot into recovery and select apply:update.zip you will need to do this twice... then CWM will appear and let you flash unsigned zip files.
if you use odin version just flash it in download mode and when you next boot you will have 2e recovery.

I just fixed it, I did put the 'data/app' folder onto my phone, and installed it, and it worked.
Thx everyone

There's your problem
You currently do not have the option to install (most) zip files from recovery. If you do want this option it is very possible and not too complicated(although this might void warranty) please read the forum guide on how to get CWM (clockworkmod)

I'm having a similar problem, but azzledazzle's suggestion left me a little baffled. I've got rom manager installed, Clockworkmod flashed and all that good stuff, but I'm still not able to install new roms. Now, I'm just about to try recovery mode, and...
Yes, 3e.
But how do I find a 2e thingie? Imagine I'm a gigantic moron who can put things in folders, but that's about it. I apologise for the pathetic help request, but if there's anyone...

Any help guys?thanks

pls can you send the file to me [email protected]

Obviously you need to flash the latest custom recovery CWM. After that flashing zip will work.

Can you get in Download mode? If yes then just flash stock firmware with Odin.

I can't get it back to stock ROM

I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II and I tried to get my phone back to stock ROM following this directions:
"1. Connect your device to your PC and copy uvlg3.flash2stock.zip to your internal SD.
2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do this,
i. Power down your devi ce.
ii. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons until you see the Samsung logo appear.
iii. Release both buttons.
iv. Press the left bottom Menu capacitive button when you see the Recovery logo (white box with the android icon).
3. On the next screen, select apply update from sdcard using the Volume Up and Down buttons to navigate and the Home button to select.
4. Highlight uvlg3.flash2stock.zip on the next screen and press the Home button to select it.
5. Go back to previous menu and select reboot system now to restart your device."
It all seemed to work fine but in step 4, when i applied the update from sd card it appears in yellow:
E: short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip(no space left on device)
Installation aborted.
As you can figure, im desperated!! so please if someone could help!!!
THANKS

You missed the wiping part. Do a factory reset/wipe Rom ... I forget what it's called in CWM... Then flash the Rom

I did all that, the CWM doesnt appear now, im in the android system recovery <3e> and my options are the foollowing:
-reboot system now
-apply update from sd card(here is the stock rom but when i apply it it doesnt work because of "insuficent space"
-wipe data/factory reset(did that already)
-wipe cache partition(did that already)
-install fota(dont know what it is but i did it anyway).
Thanks for the reply

aditional info
when i reboot my phone and press down the volume i appear in odin mode, it gives me 2 choices: reboot or download mode, if i enter the download mode it appears:
ODIN HOME
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T679
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT KERNEL: UNKNOWN
(ANDROID ICON)
dOWNLOAdING...
Do not turn off target!

There is an alternative way to enter recovery, just pull your battery, hook up the usb cable (ummm phone to pc), press and hold the volume up button then drop in the battery. When you see recovery start let go of the volume button.
You can mount your computer through cwm or twrp recovery an move the stock rom from your pc to your external sd. Do full wipes before flashing (any ROM in my opinion)

Sounds like you need to put the .zip on ext_sd, then wipe your internal sd, or manually delete all of the files. Something is eating all of the space. You might want to put the custom recovery back on it, CWM or TWRP, then wipe it all and reflash the zip, then reboot.

only start screen

after flashing - i need to wipe - afgter this i get only the screen - "Samsung Galaxy SIII mini ,,, " and nothing else
i repeated flashin serveral times

Hi, a bit more info might help here, but anyway, if you are changing roms you need to factory reset & wipe dalvik & cache after flash generally, read op for rom, if u are trying something else, explain more pls

ok - i flashed the phone with CM12 (with odin) .
Flashing all ok. Then i go to twrp and wipe Dalviak and Cache.
After system boot only the " Samsung Screeen ..." appears.
After that i try a new flash with CM 11 but allways the same .. " Samsung Galaxy ...) . .. nohing else

are you sure you are not wiping system or data?

i thing i wiped both

Only wipe dalvik & cache after flash, not system and data

i do the descriptions on nova fusion with odin3 (cm12)::
...
6) Turn off your phone, and then use VOL- & HOME & POWER buttons combination.
7) If you see Warning screen, use VOL+ button.
8) You should see Android and some information.
9) Connect phone to computer and make sure it is detected by Odin (it will appear as COM device). If it doesn’t, try to use other USB port.
10) Use Start button. Wait until flash process will finish.
11) Your phone will restart, but probably won’t boot. Pull down your battery and use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons combo to boot into recovery.
-> all ok -> twrp 2.7.1.0
12) Click on Wipe, then use slider on the bottom to let process begin.
-> here iam not realy sure - i do dalviak and cache wipe
-> i get an error - E:Unable to mount "/system"
13) Click on Home icon, and then Reboot -> System.
Wait for boot. Now you should have ROM installed and ready to use!
-> nothing happens -i have onlythe start screen" Samsung ...."

I always flash roms from zip file with twrp & don't usually have any problems, maybe you should try that method instead

Yes you are right , but dont have a chance to put the files on the phone,
because i have only two modus:
1) Modus twrp - how you can put file on the phone ?
2) and the downloading modus - and there i know only odin software
How you then put files on the device ?

Put the file on ext sd card, boot into twrp recovery, factory reset, then select install, install from ext sd, select zip file, wait till installed, then wipe dalvik & cache, reboot system, do full nandroid backup, first just incase so you can go back to previous rom & settings
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Free mobile app

yes i know - but when you say ..Put the file on ext sd card ...
how schould i do this ?
there is no adb, there is no system - only twrp modus or starting screen...

connect the phone to pc & open sd card or put sd card in a card reader & transfer then boot into twrp recovery& do wipes & installation as explained

Did you have any luck with this problem yet?

Motorola XT1068 + TWRP 3.0.2.0 - Warning "No OS Installed" + could be found from adb

Motorola XT1068 + TWRP 3.0.2.0 - Warning "No OS Installed" + could be found from adb
Hi,
I want to sell my rooted motorola moto g2 XT1068. I tried delete it and do a factory reset so clicked at twrp to "Wide > Advanced Wipe" and choose all partitions (I think this was a failure) and after that on "Swipe to Factory Reset".
But when I reboot I get the message "No OS Installed!"
I tried to install adb. But it doesn't find any device on my pc. I also installed the motorola driver, but windows can't the my mobile.
What can I do now? I have downloaded the firmware from firmware.center, but how can I install it?
I would be really grateful for your help!

Imagine you restarted your PC to old DOS, formatted it and then tried to start Windows normally - how could you, since you erased everything?
On computers, you would need a CD with the system installing package.
For mobile phones, you need to copy the stock ROM or other custom ROMs for Titan AND proper Gapps on a SD card, insert it in your Moto, enter TWRP recovery and install the two zip files from the external storage card.
If your first run is successful, do not enter your data when asked by the Google wizard and never erase your phone again if you don't have a replacement system prepared.

I loaded the following-Zip Files on my MicroSD Card:
-open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20170825.zip
-crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20170814-titan-v3.7.zip
But when I put the SD-Card into my motorla and go to recovery ond open the sd-card it shows me and empty MicroSD Card (30420MB) but the MicroSD-Card has a size of 28.7GB (free) and 0.98GB (full).
So what can I do now?
Is this the correct custom file?
How could I install it now?
Should I mound the MicroSD-Card?

The open_gapps are wrong. On their page, check the Android 7.1 box, then MINI and THEN hit the red download button. Move the card into a working phone (or computer), delete the gapps for Android 6, add the new ones, for 7.1 Nougat, then place the micro card back into the target phone.
In TWRP, go to Install -» Select Storage [or browse "Up A Level" to] sdcard1 -» [the folder where you placed the zips or] select crDroid...zip FIRST -» Flash it, then repeat to flash the open_gapps...zip, then REBOOT.
It'll take a few minutes - from 5 to 10 or even more, so have patience.

Thank you for your answer!
I have downloaded the new open_gapps zip file as you said. And replaced the old version on my sd card. Then I put the micro sd card in my motorola as you said. But I couldn't find it over TWRP. I also tried to mounted the micro sd card, but it doesn't help.
Then I tried to restart with the MicroSD-Card, but now I can't reach the TWRP again
Here is the screenshot https://ibb.co/ekCGBk and I tried the different items, but everytime I see the page "warning bootloader unlocked"

Yes, this is how it should look.
Press Volume Key DOWN, you'll reach RECOVERY, then press Volume Key UP to select Recovery.
Recovery = TWRP.
Once in TWRP, hit Install and browse for your zip files to install them.

Also when I go to "Recovery" only the white
"Warning Bootloader Unlocked"-Page is opening

Well, that's not good. Probably all that unnecessary mounting screwed up things.
Take a look at this video.
Then download latest Moto USB drivers.
Then learn about the ADB and Fastboot tool.
Then maybe try to flash the latest TWRP for Titan and restore everything already to how it should be.

I can't reach the phone with fastboot and I can't delete the bootloader warning. But suddenly I could installed the two image filles! Now the new firmware is working.
Is there a possibility to get the original one from motorola?
I also tried to put the "FixBootloaderWarning-Moto-G-2014.zip" on my sd-card to install it over TWRP, but I can't open it (I can only get a black screen when I choose "Recovery")-
