Recovery doesn't see file

hello, i've got a problem with recovery in my Ace. I wanted to root it, but when i uploaded the file root.zip on the sd card, recovery doesn't see that. The file is certainly on the sd card, i've tried to change the designation to update.zip but it didn't help, cause recovery can't see any files, only folders. Thanks in advance for help.

It is the problem with the unclean android system. Flash stock via odin & format sd card & copy the files freshly. Everything will be alright.

Stock ROM & Cyanogenmod lost/cannot read the SD card

I've had 64 Gb SD card in my Droid 4 and it has worked quite well.
Then I installed CM12 to my phone and after that neither the stock ROM nor CM11/12 cannot find the aforementioned SD card anymore.
I've wiped both ROMs off and replaced them with my stock & CM11 backups. Doesn't work.
But the strangest thing is that Safestrap's File Manager can find that SD card and I can use it there just well (flash & copy files for example).
So what gives and how to get rid of that? Should I wipe my phone totally blank and start from the scratch again???
Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance everybody involved.

SD card likely has some corrupt files or file system, may need reformatting

OK, thanks!
Forgot to mention that if I place the same SD card to my Samsung Galaxy tablet, to my Android TV box or to my computer, it works without any problems. So that's strange indeed.

[Q] File recovery on unrooted Galaxy Note3

Hello!
I have deleted a video file that I would like to recover. Do not ask how it happened please!
The phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 device (SM-900A) that is not rooted. The carrier is AT&T. The build is N900AUCUDNL1 on Android 4.4.4
I have enabled the debug mode and have tried several application to recover the file but unsuccessful. They all require root. In order to root the device I need to Odin back to NC2. The process supposed to format/wipe the internal memory. Will it completely destroy my chances to recover the file? Any other known ways to recover the file? The file was on internal memory (not an external micro SD card).
Thank you!

Guys, I need some help -- can't copy files to sdcard or internal memory after TWRP fo

Long story short -- I'm selling my Note 4 so I wiped/formatted EVERYTHING (used "format data" option in TWRP which required me to type "yes"). After that happened I found I didn't have an OS installed. Ok, no big deal right? I'll mount my sdcard and copy the stock firmware over than flash with TWRP.
WRONG. Every time I try to copy a file to either the sd card or the internal storage, I get the following error message:
"Cannot copy Trltetmo_N910TUVU1ANJ7_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Its file size is larger than the device limit."

Wtf? In file explore it says that the SD card has 29.7GB free space available. And internal storage has 24.1GB. Obviously something is not right here.
Is it possible that TWRP didn't format things correctly? I just want to know how to fix this so I can get the stock firmware back on this bad boy and get it sold. I have been out of the android scene for awhile so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Also, not sure if it's worth noting but when I mount my Note 4 in windows with TWRP both the internal storage and sd card have like no file structure or files whatsoever. Completely empty. Also interesting is every time I reboot with TWRP, it asks if I want to install supersu or whatever to root the phone. I say "yes" but each time I reboot after that it asks me the same thing like it didn't actually do anything.

You can use ODIN to install Stock firmware on phone. So you won't need to copy anything to phone/sdcard memory.
If you still want to install that deodexed rom you mentioned, you need to plug your sdcard to computer using a sdcard adapter. TWRP built-in mount fails most of the times when trying to copy big files.

I guess that's not actually the "stock" stock firmware. Because the file I have is a .zip and is apparently incompatible with Odin. I will go to sam mobile and download the firmware there.
Do you recommend I download the most recent firmware should I flash the one that came with the phone?
Also, I hope that once I get the firmware back on, I will be able to copy large files when mounting normally once booted into the OS...

Yes, download the latest firmware and install it using ODIN.
You would be able to see and copy/paste to your internal and memory card normally after phone boots into android.

What is file update_package on my SD card?

On the SD card of my 5803 I have a folder called recovery and in it is a file named update_package that is 635mb. I have dual recovery installed. I have been using twrp for several months successfully. Does anyone know what this file is? Can I remove it? It's dated June 3 which I think is the day that I installed the recovery. Is it left over from the original installation and not needed any more? Would love to know if anyone knows or if anyone is using dual recovery and doesn't have this file on the internal card so I can figure it out. Thanks
