hi dear friends
my phone is samsung gallaxy s pluse i9001. I wanted to upgrade its android version so I installed a TWRP recovery version 2.1.1 and copy the rom source file into the external sd card.I followed an instruction in a website so I rebooted my phone to the TWRP recovery.in the first step I wiped the cache and factory reset then in the second step I shoud have installed the rom which had been copied into the external sd card but the recovery software didnt read the external card and didnt show any thing of this memory and just read the internal memory.unfortunately this version of TWRP do not support adb sideloader which could help me to copy the rom into the internal memory or copy the higher version of TWRP.I reboot my phone in order to load into its last rom,but it didnt and boot into TWRP.
so I have stucked worse and now,without my phone,I am like medievals.
your help woud be most apreciated.
thanks

4.Then i do a nandroid backup.Up to now my cell is good and working very well.
5.The internal memory of my cell phone is very less so I feel its good to partition my sd card.
6.I did partition as instructed in http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html#.UPZc5fKD_Sk

10.I remove battery and tried to power on again but same thing happened. But my CWM recovery is well and good. So i dried data wipe/reset option in the recovery and reboot, but no use.
Pls help me. I will be very gratefull for your help.
when you partition your SD card, please make sure that you have backup in computer of all your SD card data, coz new partitions are created in SD card so it's obvious that all data will be deleted once!!!
and plz don't root and install Roms from other sites (as you have mentioned) coz it's very risky.... from now onwards use only Xda
for your solution,
download any Rom from computer, put it in your SD card using any card reader!! then put it in phone, go to recovery, do data and cache wipe, go to mounts and storage, do format data and system, than go to install zip from SD card, choose that downloaded Rom and install, than reboot!!!
it will be fixed
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda premium
@op
flash the rom again and after that try link2sd
you can copy a rom to your sdcard through mount sdcard option available in CWM recovery
@ 2nd poster
it is not and outside website it is a tutorial blog written by a xda member "yagya"
I wanted to try out a ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Ace so I opted for Apo-K-lypse by Sampj75, link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154567&nocache=1
So I followed this guide on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
I first rooted the phone using Universal_gb_root_v25.zip (I checked to make sure the phone was rooted)
I than installed CWM.
Finally I put the Apo-K-lyps.zip into the phone booted into CWM, did Wipe Data/Factory Reset and installed the Apo-K-lypse ROM by choosing from SD card than rebooted the phone.
The problem: The phone boots up but gets stuck on, "A N D R O I D." I've tried reinstalling the ROM but no luck, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Please can someone help me any advice will be useful, even if you know what the problem is that will do .

What is your current version of android .. 2.1.1 ..??
If the installation is done properly redone Wipe Data / Factory ..
Otherwise ..
Flash KPH with Odin..
The root is not necessary ..
Installs CWM this thread ..
Put Apo-K-lypse in your sdcard ..
Wipe Data / Factory ..
Install Zip From Sd Card
Choose Zip From Sd Card "† Apo-K-lypse † ®"
Rom .. Restart
Otherwise creates the partition on SD card (normally not compulsory)

Hi first of all thank you for the fast response but sadly I really needed a phone for work, so I just installed Unoffical Cooper CM 10.1 which is running fine.
BUT I'm still interested in testing out your version.
My previous Android Version was 2.3.3 when I originally tried your firmware, my new version is 4.22.
Baseband: S5830XWKP8.
When I originally installed it I followed your procedure below:
Put Apo-K-lypse in your sdcard ..
Wipe Data / Factory ..
Install Zip From Sd Card
Choose Zip From Sd Card "† Apo-K-lypse † ®"
Rom .. Restart
It didn't work so I tried it a couple of more times didn't work I also left phone on for 10 mins took out battery restarted etc...
I don't have a slot on my pc for memory card or a reader so I won't be able to partition my SD card but once I get one I'll try it again.
Thanks for your help.
It is advisable to flash the rom XXKPH by Odin after install this rom CM10
The partition is not a requirement ..
Otherwise ..
Reboot into CWM
Advance
Partition SD Card
choose 512M
And 0M Swap
OK ..
Wipe Data / factory reset
restart
Sorry for the late reply..
Hi, my brother gave me a used Droid Bionic which I successfully rooted and installed a custom recovery on (Liquidsmooth to be exact) using Safestrap recovery 3.11 but kept my stock rom in a slot.
So basically I now got a problem. I thought I'd try CM11 from the Cyanogenmod website (snaphot) when I created a new slot rom and try to install, I got an error. It was a failed process.
I thought I'd try again so I wiped everything Factory reset, data, cache...etc still failed..
Then I uninstall safestrap recovery using the stock rom and saw that I can use CWM like my other phone Samsung fascinate in rootzwiki. I followed this thread called [Guide] How to install ClockworkMod Recovery from adroidman
but before I installed the bionic boot strap, I made a huge mistake I formatted The internal 8 gb storage then I rebooted to see if that caused any problems and it did basically..
I deleted the /data and /sdcard because I formatted the internal storage and every time I reboot, I get a Encryption Unsuccessful message and it tells me to reset phone. I did but same message. Am I screwed?? I know I still have my stock rom in there but can't access it. Also every time I connect my phone I no longer see the internal storage instead my 32 gb sd card.
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.
My EMMC became corrupt I think after it tried to do an internal recovery.
Now the only thing that boots is a CWM recovery SD card. However I can not install any zips as it does not mount ext SD, nor internal SD cards. It does not mount Data, or System.
Not sure how to solve as it will also not boot a full SD Card image.
What are the next steps to solve? I assume getting the EMMC partitioned and recovery and boot put back on the device?
Saw a similar thread about the HD, but it only had a hard coded link for a hummingbird downloadable:
flashable_fix_bootdata-hummingbird.zip
Does someone have a link to the ovation equivalent?
Thanks,
Rick
i was having a problem installing cm13 as it kept rebooting to the recovery screen.
i wiped all the cache's and reinstalled everything multiple times.
Then i found out that the emmc was not the image that i needed and grabbed the newest nightly image.
i copied it to my sdcard as a zip and installed it as a zip along with my other zips from the recovery screen.
it now runs fine.
i hope this helps you.
Please give details
