Hi,
I upgraded my Android to version 4.4.4 via the updater following these steps (from what I can recall).
1) I downloaded the latest Release version & the latest Gapps files locally to the tablet & went to recovery.
2) I took a backup, wiped Dalvik cache & apply update from sdcard.
3) I ran the Android release build zip file but forgot to run the Gapps zip file.
4) Android upgraded to version 4.4.4 but when I log in I get prompted that 'Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped' . As I forgot to run the Gapps zip file that is to be expected.
When I boot into recovery it can only see the following directories & not the update folder where the Gapps file was downloaded.
Android
DCIM
LOST.DIR
appdata
clockworkmd
downloads
ringtones
wallpapers
The recovery doesn't seem to be able to see the sdcard & only the internal storage.
However if I copy the Gapps zip file to any of the folders above, boot to recovery again it won't see the zip file.
I also seem to have wiped my backup trying to recovery the situation so can't roll back.
Within the recovery menu I've tried to mount/unmounts the below but it still can't see any of the folders.
Mount /boot
Unmount /cache
Mount /data
Mount /system
unmounts /sdcard
The above is my current settings but I've tried mounting them all.
To complicate the matter further the USB port on the tablet is broken so I can't connect it to my computer.
Previously to transfer files I used a ftp client on my laptop & Wifi File Transfer Pro on the tablet.
I don't know whether to finally give up on my touchpad so any help/advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

Access to the sdcard has to be enabled by the developer. You must have installed one that doesn't (since you didn't specify which it was)

Here is the build info currently on the tablet.
Kernel Version:
3.4.82-tenderloin
Mod Version:
ev_ternderloin=testing-2015.01.22
Build number:
ev_tenerloin-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.flintman.20150122.215911 test-keys
If this build doesn't recognise the sdcard, should it not recognise the Gapps zip file on the internal storage?
There is 1.4GB in total on the internal storage with 388MB free.
Do you know if there is anyway I could get a build of Android & Gapps on the tablet & upgrade to that?
Thanks for responding to the thread.

I doubt you've used the latest and proper way to install 4.4/5.0 ROM's. Go here. Start over and follow the instructions to the letter. Read everything first and decide how you want to proceed before doing anything.

I just updated my CWM to 6.0.4.6 in preparation for upgrading my CM10 to CM11. Here's what I did:
Backup app data using Titanium.
Cleared both caches, installed the new CWM zip.
Rebooted to CM10:
copied my old nanroid backup to my computer.
Rebooted into CWM:
made a new nandroid backup.
Rebooted into webos:
resized my system partition from 400 to 600 mb.
When I booted in CWM to install the 4.4 rom all my folders were missing. All I can see is
/sdcard/
-0/
-clockworkmod/
The only folder in 0/ is clockworkmod/backup/[mynewnandroidbackup]/
Any idea what I need to do to get things straightened out?
CM10 still boots fine and my files show up in /sdcard0/. There is no sign of a folder called /sdcard/. Same story if I explore the device with a computer.
I should mention that I also moved my nandroid backup to my computer, off the touchpad to save space before I resized my partitions. I then moved it back into the folder. I wouldn't be opposed to wiping the thing and starting over to get 4.4 working.
Any ideas?

First, this issue that you observe has been discussed ad nauseam in various CM11 ROM development threads.
Second, you did not post which specific CM11 ROM you are planning to employ. So I assume it is Milaq's CM11 ROM (kernel 3.0+).
At any rate, what you are observing in an inability to directly access the /external_sd partition (on the TouchPad), which is accessible in previous CM builds, but is no longer directly accessible in Milaq's recent CM11 builds (Kernel 3.0.101) or in his recent CWM recoveries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49216229
• Milaq and others have suggested you can use ADB to mount the partition manually (sorry no instructions).
• Some have posted you can use Invisiblek's recovery (CWM 6.0.5.4 selinux datamedia) to flash Milaq's recent CM11 (Kernel 3.0+) ROM's
• You may be able to find a version of TWRP that can access the /external_sd partition.
On a related note, the new DataMedia storage paradigm which is the future of Android, has been designed into the newer CM11 and other KitKat ROM and recovery builds. Thus you need to increase the size of your /data partition.
You can use the Tailor app within WebOS to reduce the size of /media partition, then increase the /data partition size. And there are some scripts available that do similarly.
Best to read the specific ROM thread (including the OP) for more info on how DataMedia applies to the ROM build you are employing, and then be sure to read later posts in the thread regarding the inaccessibility of /external_sd: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542353
It is possible that future builds of the CM11 ROM (kernel 3.0+) might provide access to /external_sd once again. Will see. Fingers crossed.
I tried invisiblek's cwm recovery and it did not provide access to /external_sd
(and there is confusion on the recoveries specific version number)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49423381
There is another recovery on invisiblek's site: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tenderloin.zip
Anyone have experience with that recovery version, ability to access /external_sd or "compatibility" with Milaq's newer CM11 ROM builds?
Yes sorry, Milaqs rom that you linked is the one I was working from. I don't have ten posts so that's why I'm posting here. I read through most of that forum and tried searching for my issue with no luck.
I went back and saw a couple posts that matched my problem with the following solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49154585&postcount=471
When I get home I will try this although I didn't remember seeing that folder when I explored my device on Windows.
Thank you for the reply and sorry for the redundancy!
Ok so I browsed my sd storage and there is no 0 folder in /sdcard0/media
Not sure what to do now

Hey buddy,
Make sure your file browser is using root. Personally I use Es file explorer. Turn on root explorer (find it at the bottom in the side panel) and make system writeable (By clicking on 'root explorer' then 'Mount R/W'). I'm sure most file managers will have something similar in their settings.
Then go to the root of your device by clicking '/' at the top. From there you should be able to follow the post you linked above by gabhroo123. And yes i tried his method and indeed i could see the files i pasted into the folder.
Good Luck
Here is another trick that worked for me. Recover a previous stored ROM that supported both sd1 and sd0. Use file manager to copy the files you want from sd1 to sd0. Then go back to the new ROM and you will have access to your files on sd0.

Ahhh thank you. I had tried this with a different file explorer in root. Es did the trick.
Now I need figure out how to fix these black screens that lock up after a good amount of inactivity.
Greeting HP Touchpad Expert: I need help.
I didn't mean to post this thread but I have same issue.. only I have this..
I also updated my CWM to http://milaq.exnet.me/downloads/tenderloin/misc/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tenderloin.zip
in preparation for upgrading my CM09 to CM11 (Milanq 4.4 Kitkat). Here's what I did:
Backup app data using Titanium.
Cleared both caches, installed the new CWM zip.
Rebooted to CM9:
copied my old nanroid backup to my computer.
Rebooted into CWM:
made a new nandroid backup.
I have not yet resize system partition.
Now, when I want reboot to CWM install the 4.4 rom all my folders were missing.
All I can see is
/sdcard/
-0/
-clockworkmod/
-clockworkmod/backup
Yes I have tried to ES File Explorer (R+W root) and following gabhroo123's notes above
I do not have
/data/media nor /data/media/0 folder
only empty /data folder.... I am able to write to copy older recovery-clockwork to /data but not "/" ...
When reboot to CWM 6.0.4.7 I still don't see any zip file.. (No files found message show).
Can someone at least point me the right URL or discussion xda-developers.com thread so I can read them.
I am not sure what I did wrong...
What extra steps I suppose to do ...because I have HP Touchpad with CWM 5.x.x + Android 4.0.1.x + CM 9 + mobo 0.35 ?
My planning steps were
#1) upgrade CWM to 6.0.4.7
#2) upgrade CM 11
#3) upgrade Gapps
Reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542353
([ROM] [NIGHTLY] [KitKat] [4.4] CyanogenMod 11.0 nightlies [3.0 kernel])
I do see /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backupfolder.. in CM 9 and I did put CM 11 and Gapps in several place in
/media , /sdcard/media, /sdcard/cminstall etc.. but nothing.. kept saying file not found..
Should I downgrade CWM back to 5.x.x ? I do not see any install zip file at all ...how?
HELP!
Thank you
Hi !
I have a 32 Gb Touchpad on CM10.1 and i'd like to upgrade on CM11 with Milaq ROM.
So, i downloaded The_apes Flashable zip (this one : sys_512mb_data_plus_24576mb-signed.zip) and i flash it with ClockworkMod 5.x. I've got 2 errors like this.
After that, i flashed with the new ClockworkMod 6.x, but, now, when i want to flash ROM, i've got only 0/ and obb/ folders. I can't acces to sdcard/cminstall.
Boot on Android works fine, but, what i have to do to finish my upgrade on CM11 ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Edit : on ES Explorer you have to activate root access to see /data/media/0

Welcome to the world of DataMedia.
In CM10.1 use a Root Browser app (e.g. ROM Toolbox lite) or a file manager app with root permissions (e.g. ES File Explorer or X-Plore) to move your CM11 ROM zip to a directory accessible to your new CWM recovery.
Myself I store all my ROM and recovery zips in the Download directory, where Chrome and Firefox also download files to.
e.g.
/storage/sdcard0/Download
/data/media/0/Download
Thanks woodytrain for your quick reply.
I tried to put my ROM /storage/sdcard0/Download but it's the same, i don't see this folder.
In /data, i've no folder
I tried to find obb/ with ES Explorer and it found it on /mnt/, is it normal ?
Last thing, i gone in WebOS in order to use Tailor and found this partition layout, i think it's not ok to flash KitKat :
USB (media) = 25.43 Gib
Android (system) = 408 Mib
Android (cache) = 200 Mib
Android (data) = 1.5 Gib
Unused Space = 8 Mib
I don't knom how to install KK on my touchpad. I don't understand because i don't thing to be a newbie, i flashed i9000 on CM 10.2, Touchpad on CM10.1, but KK made me crazy !
Thanks for your help !
You need to change your partition sizes. At the very least need to increase /system
And if you want to install a DataMedia (DM) ROM, you need to make additional adjustments.
Right now there are three (or four) KitKat (4.4.2) ROM's for the TouchPad (tenderloin) to choose from:
CM11 - 3.0 kernel (Milaq) - DM
CM11 - 3.4 kernel (invisiblek) - DM
Evervolv - AOSP - 3.4 kernel (flintman) - (two version:- one DM and one not)
If you want to install KitKat on your TouchPad will need to do some reading. Keep in mind all these KK 3.x kernel based ROMs are in development (experimental and/or for testing). Each has its own pros and cons, and various TouchPad features are not yet working, features you might have observed working in previous JB 2.6 kernel ROMs.
If you want to stay with JB, until KK is better baked for the TouchPad you may want to try out the new JB 3.x kernel ROM just released from jcscullins (01-25-14). It is NOT a DM ROM, whereas Milaq's CM10.2 (JB) is a DM ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811480
Suggestions:
1. For each ROM you are interested in thoroughly read the OP. And suggest reading, at the minimum the last five pages of each thread.
2. Then visit [ROM GUIDE] How to Update/Install Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 Builds on the HP TouchPad
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321397
3. Be sure to read the info on how to update your partition for DM support. If you decide to go with a DM ROM, I would suggest using Tailor to change your partitions since you have Tailor installed on your device already.
4. Backup your device before proceeding. Generate a nandroid backup in your recovery as well as back up your app/data with Titanium Backup
5. A "full wipe" in your recovery (factory reset, including clearing caches, formatting /system) is generally recommended when doing major upgrades (not just a nightly flash of the same ROM).
Once you have chosen a ROM to install, and have downloaded the zips for both the matching ROM and Recovery zips (note each ROM has it's own specific recovery version matched to the ROM), then you should be ready to upgrade.
If you have questions before upgrading post your SPECIFIC questions/issues, identifying the ROM version you are coming from and going to.
Thanks woodytrain for your help.
I understood what i missed : root explorer button on Es Explorer
So, now, i can see my files with clockwork Recovery, yes ! I put them in /data/media/0/Download.
After that, i'm gone on Tailor to resize my partitions.
Now, i have :
600 Mb for system
200 Mb for cache
15 Go for media
and ~ 6 Go for data, it's not enough but don't care now...
So, i flashed my rom (Milaq CM11) and gapps (after factory reset, format /system, clear /cache) but now, when i boot on cyanogen, i've cyanogen logo and that's all... only a blank screen, i think i'will made an other post except if you have an idea

Not sure what is meant by "15 Go for media". Recommend you follow the partition instructions as listed in the OP of Milaq's CM11 ROM thread. At any rate...
Before you started the process did you do a nandroid, and backup your apps and data with TiBu or helium?
Then when you did the wipe, did you clear Dalvick cache as well?
And then did you flash the CWM recovery version listed in the OP of Milaq's CM11 ROM thread (CWM 6.0.4.6)? You MUST use that version.
http://milaq.exnet.me/downloads/tenderloin/misc/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-tenderloin.zip
You might want to redo the process and hold off installing gapps until you have booted into CM11. Then go back to recovery and install the gapps listed in the OP. Or install one of the PA-gapps packages.
With a few more posts you receive the right to post to the ROM dev thread. Joy!
I reply only to increase my posts and because i made a big big mistake after this post, i formated all partitions on clockworkmod (6.0.4.6 ). So i will create an other thread on forum...
Mad and Confused
I was duped into updating to 4.4 evervolv when i was on their 4.3.1 rom and im not understanding the layout of my sd-card now. i know all my info is still there but unsure how to reformat so i can use all my space. 32gb touchpad. i will use root explore app to get all my data but can i use onboard storage app to format? Really pissed im in this situation at all. Stupid to be on a 4.3.1 rom and update only to find out it's now a 4.4 rom and my sd-card is different. Thanks much
Nevermind, got it sorted. Good excuse to repartition and reformat everything. Still want nothing from evervolv but there 16mb Gapps package, mwahaha
Hello all - I am trying to upgrade from CM9 to CM11 using [ROM] [NIGHTLY] [KitKat] [4.4] CyanogenMod 11.0 nightlies [3.0 kernel],
I repartitioned the drive with Tailor as suggested, and upgraded my CWM to (6.0.4.7)
My problem now is how do i get access the ROM/GAPPs zips? I can copy them over USB on my Win7 Machine to this folder, but CWM doesnt see them/cant access them.
I only have access to this folder in Win7. tried doing a clean install, and still no look.
Computer\cm_tenderloin\SD Card\rom.zip
the only options i have under "choose zip" in CWM are
/sdcard/0/clockworkmod - how do i get the rom zips there? i am totally stumped. i tried ADP to sideload a rom but the device isnt found. thanks in advance!!
Complete install of Android on the device
HI
I was in the same position I'd tried everything. In the end I decided to start from the beginning. What I did was pretty hardcore. I completely uninstalled Android. You need to erase the usb drive in Webos. you do this by booting into WebOS, going to settings/device info/reset options/erase USB drive. Remember before you do any of this get all you data of your device to you PC. Once this is done you are ready to install Android again. Now I found it was easier to upgrade from CM10.2 Data/Media build to CM11. So I installed Android on the device using these four files;
- moboot_38
- CM10.2,update-cm-10.2-20140126-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip
- update-gapps-jb4.3-20130813-signed.zip
- update-recovery-clockwork-no_metadata-6.0.3.6-20130926-tenderloin.zip
These files are available as a package at rootzwiki.com. There you will also find instructions on how to install android again and how to unistall android as well. Once android is installed now you need to resize the media and data partitions with tailor in webos. Now that this done you are ready to upgrade to CM11. So then booted up my device into Android. Then I connected it to my PC. enable USB conductivity on the device. I created a folder on the device on the now larger data partition (I used the same cminstall name for the folder).Transfered the CM11 (milaq version), Gapps and CMW 6.04.7 to this folder.
I would then boot into recovery. Now were going to update the CMW. choose install from zip find the folder and the CMW 6.0.4.7 file. install it.
once installed boot back into recovery. Now were going to inst CM11. First you need Perform a factory/data reset and wipe/format cache partition. Once this is done your ready to install CM11 and the Gapps. Choose install from zip. Find the cminstall folder you made install. then do exactly the process with the Gapps.
Android CM11 Milaq should work. This worked for me.
Hope this helps.

I am starting from a cm10.2 rom and i am encountering the same problem that the original poster is.
I am trying to install CM11 EMMC to my nook HD+ with stock rom on it. The instruction I followed is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
1.Download the initial sdcard image
2.ungzip and write to sdcard using dd (winimage or whatever for those stuck on Windows)
3.Instert the card into your nook and reboot
4.Flash the recovery image
5.Flash cm11 image
6.Flash whatever other extra things you need like gapps
7.remove the sdcard
8.reboot the nook
I did wipe data and cache after step 3. I finished steps 4 and 5. However, flashing gapps in step 6 failed with information of error in gapps zip file [status 6]. The gapps is downloaded from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
I use the mini modular package. I am quite sure the gapps zip file is good since i have finished SD install with the gapps zip file. However, it failed in EMMC install. Now the nook can boot to CM11, but without any google stuff.
Any suggestion?
I'd suggest that you try a different, smaller size package (you can always add those apps not included later from the Playstore).
Also, if needed an alternate source for Gapss is http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps, use the "small" version.
Thanks for the suggestion. Other gapps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2397942 does not work. The gapps on the wiki page works, though it is for 4.4.2. I think the orginal thread on CM11 EMMC install should notice users on the possible problem.

I'm a total newbie to this but I think I have the same issue.... This is what I done and the results:
Used Win32imager onto 32gb Sandisk to write unpacked image of emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz then loaded onto card the following files:
cm-11-20141212-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip
cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip
pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip
Re-booted and did backup of stock and cleared/formatted internal card. Installed cwmrecovery images, and CM11 nightly. Tried installing to gapps stock and mini both came up with a Status 6 failed installation error .
Tried reverting to stock and couldn't recover due to error so re-installed CM and had same error. Copied off and removed restore apks to ensure enough space and tried again - still
status 6 error.
Checked to see whether script files has LF/CR but script file is dummy and the binary all seems to be in LF format. Running out of ideas as all of this is new to me.
So looks like i'm in same situation - HD+ which boots to CM but no stock googleapps.
I know it doesn't help but looks like same issue - any ideas?

I'm a total newbie to this but I think I have the same issue.... This is what I done and the results:
Used Win32imager onto 32gb Sandisk to write unpacked image of emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz then loaded onto card the following files:
cm-11-20141212-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip
cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip
pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip
Re-booted and did backup of stock and cleared/formatted internal card. Installed cwmrecovery images, and CM11 nightly. Tried installing to gapps stock and mini both came up with a Status 6 failed installation error .

Did you try using the Gapps packages from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps? They are for CM11, the apps are a bit dated but after installation can be updated (via Google Playstore) to their most current version.
Status 6 install error solved

Deleted the pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip file.
Downloaded the two files from your link:
gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
dropped both onto the card, re-booted and installed the larger 20140606 version which installed without any error messages. Removed card and re-booted - extra apps all look in place. Will now make sure they all run OK.
Thanks very much for your help - much appreciated. Can you tell me what the difference is in the installers that make the PA versions crash or is that too long winded?

Hi!
My only encounter with rooting was several years back when it used to be a simple affair (one click rooting app based on exploits like framaroot etc), so please bear with me.
I'm on Stock Oreo 8.1 (Patch 1 Aug 2019) Sanders 1804 (India) version. I've followed various guides and have been successful in flashing TWRP 3.4.0 (Official Sanders version) and Magisk 20.4. But everytime the phone is rebooted, TWRP can't mount internal storage and shows 0mb.
I tried all three methods I could find:
1. dm-verity zip flashing - Log said fstab not found. Searched and found that from Oreo, Android's encryption approach has been changed. I couldn't make much sense out of those, though.
2. Manually replacing the `forceencrypt` to `encryptable` then flash stock recovery and format data. Didn't work.
3. Formatting data right after TWRP is flashed. Didn't work either.
The maximum it works is for one time when I can connect the device to laptop to add some zips to it to flash. It doesn't make sense to wipe the data when it's the data only that we want to back!
My purpose is to make flashable zip (nandroid) to revert to if anything goes wrong. It was phone's wifi frequent disconnection (or connected but no internet) issue which forced me to try root. I'm not much interested in new ROMs and am fine with stock itself but need a backup of all apps with data etc. Also, I couldn't understand clearly the FAQ on TWRP website that says TWRP doesn't backup internal storage but backup data. As I don't use SdCard, the internal storage is mounted in /sdcard folder only
I'll really appreciate if someone can help me.
Thanks
Found solution from a helpful guy in a Telegram group.
1. Use ONLY attached zip/img files and follow exact same order.
2. Flash TWRP, reboot to recovery
3. In Wipe section, choose Format data, type YES and confirm. Reboot to recovery again.
4. Flash DM-Verity-ForceEncrypt.zip file. Flash Magisk.zip file. Reboot to recovery.
5. (Optional) Make a backup if you want or Reboot to system. Done!
