Hey guys, I recently got the Galaxy SII. Its rooted running Android 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD.DUKJ1.
My issue is trying to run ZIP files from my SD card using ClockWorkMod. I put the files into the SD card root folder and then boot into CWM. When I go run zip file from SD card there is nothing there. CWM cant see any of my files.
I have sucessfully booted ZIPS by placing them in the Phone folder instead of the SD card folder. If I go into My files and then under sdcard/external_sd I can see the file I put on there. CWM just refuses to see these files. When I connect my phone I see 2 folders, Card and Phone. I am putting these zip files in Card. I assume this is correct? Can anyone help?
Cheers
mount ur int sd card
Thanks for the reply, while waiting for a reply I unmounted the SD card, formatted it and then remounted it. I dropped another zip file, once again made sure I could see it in file manager and it was there. Booted in CWM, went to install zip file, went to ext_sd folder and it still says no file found. Under storage the SD card is listed there. Any ideas?

Sounds like you are using version 4.x of CWM, this does not support native updating from dual memory (So it only ever looks at phone memory, while you can manually mount and then update it's not as simple a process and often steps get forgotten)... if you just update to the newer CWM you will see another option appear on the list (apply update from internal memory)... making it much clearer and easier to update. (Or just use your phone memory to hold the zip files, it really doesn't matter that much)
I think you are right, it says v4.0.0.2. Would someone be kind enough to point me to where the latest version is?
Edit- nevermind I think I found it.
Thanks guys

This question is not relevant, as he is referring to Recovery Mode. (Debugging is only optional through normal OS, and can not be changed in recovery without rebuilding the kernel)
Everything is all good guys, the new version of CWM allows me to boot from my SD card and it installed ICS perfect. Thanks again

I've followed the post by xboarder56. My phone has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. I did not receive any errors when running the command: Fastboot flash boot [boot.img path]. I attempted to use QuikSense and BeastMod. I am using windows, but have access to linux if necessary (would prefer to finish this in windows though).
I believe the problem might be that I do not have an sdcard. Also, I did not see any directions relating to copying files TO the phone, and as such did not. Does loading the boot.img load these files onto the phone or is this something that I need to be doing (also, how do you do that? Guessing I will need linux for that since I don't have an sdcard and will need to write to the device while windows can't read it).
You need a SD card, but xboarder is working on a recovery that doesn't require one

I thought it might be as much. I ordered an sdcard and it should be here tomorrow. Do I need to perform any additional steps (such as copying files somewhere) or are the steps I am already performing going to be enough?
xboarder said the new recovery works with internal memory as well so shouldn't be a card problem
So I got my SD card and copied all the files to the root of it and performed the flash again. Still nothing. Where should I be copying the files to?

Let's backtrack.
What recovery do you have currently?
Stock, xboarders recovery (identifiable with the X in the background) or the CWM Recovery?
What files did you put and where did you put them?
Name the files you downloaded them and where you put them (external sdcard, internal sdcard, in a folder, etc)
Are you able to flash anything?
Did you format your sdcard from the phone?
So yeah... answer those for us please.
If the files are on the root of your INTERNAL SDCARD then you need xboarder's recovery.
If the files are on the root of your EXTERNAL SDCARD then you need the standard clockwork recovery (download from ROM Manager)
I am posting here 'cause I don't have enough post for the development sections. Tried to root my 4gLTE using RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter, but if failed because I had a new LTE and Best Buy upgraded me to OTA 1.22.651.3. Although the root failed, TWRP recovery was flashed, and I read that all I have do do is use it to flash SuperSU.zip and I'm done. I copied SuperSU.zip to the root of my SD card, boot into recovery, but I don't see ANY files, just folders.
When I boot into normal system operations and use any file manager - Astro, ES, etc - I still only see folders but no files (folders show as empty). Yet my gallery is full of the pics that are on my SD card, and when I mount the phone as a drive on my PC I see all of the files.
I tried copying all files to my PC, formating my SD card on the phone, and copying back but still no files. Could be my SD card (32GB Patriot) and this phone. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
You will need to mount it in TWRP. It will show your sd card as empty until then. On the new 2.2.1, I think that it just gives you the option to switch between internal and external sd within the section to flash new zips.

I want to install CM7 internal rom but fail to boot from SD after I increase the card space to full capacity. The screen remains black for 20-30 seconds after plugging the cable. And then it will bypass the CWM and launch directly to rooted OS. However, I cannot place the ROM without resizing the card space.
One more question: is it safe to remove the SD card after the system is booted into CWM mode?
Any advice to install CM7 will be much appreciated
Thanks in advanced.

I had the same issue with a few cwm image files. Finally found the cwm files in zip format. Then I just copied them to the root of a blank SD card. I will try to zip them and upload them somewhere tomorrow. Its nice to have an 8gb cwm card.
Thanks guys. Yes a 8gb CWM image will be useful. Anyway, I just copy the CM7 beta zip file to the device internal memory and get it installed. Despite some technical errors (like google play not working), CM7 runs fine basically.
Ugh. Managed to trash my partitions and spent the most of the night learning a crash course of adb. Got things back to normal now. Will try to find my SD stuff tomorrow! Sorry for the delay!

EDIT! --
Right, so FINALLY got my NT back to proper working order.
I'm pretty sure I downloaded this file FROM these forums, however, a few searches turned up nothing, so I dropboxed them.
Here
Format your SD card, giving yourself the full partition to work with. Then unzip that file, and copy the contents (4 items, 1 folder) to the ROOT of the SD card.
That will make your SD card bootable, and acutomatically load the CWM recovery stuff. From there, you can backup your NT's current config.
Also, RE: your Google Play issue, you need to install the proper Gapps for your ROM,
To do that, click HERE then go down to the bottom of the first post, that's Veronica, and she rocks. I've learned more from her about all this stuff than most anyone else, and we've never talked.
ANYHOW. Go to the bottom of her post, and see her "My XDA FTP" link? Click that ( I didnt want to direct link it without her permission).
In there, you'll see a folder called gapps, navigate to there, and down load the gapps-gb-20110828... zip file. Copy that to your shiny, new CWM recovery SD card, and then boot from it, "install zip from SD card" "choose zip" choose that zip file, install it, and you'll have access to the google play (after market updates automatically) and all the other google features!
I have placed Meanrom.zip in the root of the SDCard and I can go to ES Explorer and located it witout a problem but when I go into TWRP to install Zip file it does not display. Any suggestions?
Make sure the zip extension isn't in caps. i.e. ZIP

Just checked and it is lower case.
Make sure its not reading from internal storage. If it is then u won't be able to see ur zip file that's on ur sd card

Sorry to open up such an old threat, but i have simmular issues as mentiont above.
Ive gone to hell and back, getting my phone ( a MT6582 Lenovo A3600d ) rooted and TWRP on it, working and all. Yea im a prood noob.. !
But now im stuck. Ive put some compattible rom on my empty and formatted sdcard. Ive done all the flashing that is required to finally install the rom, but TWRP wont see the zip file.
Its in the root of my SD in the correct zip format etc. When i go to the TWRP file manager i also cant locate it. Eventho it tells me its reading of the sd card and not the internal memory. It will only display the maps and show some txt files. Dont know if thats normal. These are the only actuall items/lines i can see pop up.
Furthermore in "Mount" it wont let me check the box "Ext-SDcard", all the others i can check. Is this where the problem lies ? Ive removed the card and formatted it and put the rom zip file back on it a few times through my desktopcardreader.
Since ive allready flashed the phone its completly empty, only the TWRP recovery is accesable.
Am i missing something ? Any help would be greatly apprishiated

Try to use CWM, you can make it through MTK Droid Tools (I kinda forget the name)
1.Download it
2.Obtain superuser access.(make sure usb debugging and usb drivers installed.
3.Goto the second tab
4.select backup and kill the process after seeing boot.img being backed up.
5.again to the second tab.
6 .select 'To choose from the boot.img file'
7.Go to the backup folder.
8.select phone model.
9.choose boot.img
10.click yes on every pop up box.
11.done.
CWM works flawlessly on my Lenovo A3600D.

Hi SGP users!
Last night, I installed the Jellybean CM10 ROM (the Nightly one). I also installed the GApps that came with the post. So I booted to Recovery Mode, I tried installing the ROM (Install zip from sd card>Install zip from internal sd card>downloads>the jb rom), but it says "INSTALLATION ABORTED". I repeated to install but to no avail. I rebooted the system to research on this, and the user said that you have to format system and try again. I booted to Recovery Mode again, formatted the system (it says system formatted or something like that), and installed the ROM for the nth time. It still says INSTALLATION ABORTED. Now, I tried installing the GApps zip file, and it worked (I installed the zip file because I want to know if all the files on the internal sd card are broken). So I tried installing the ROM again. Aborted. I rebooted the system, and now it's stuck with the white Samsung text! I don't know why, so I just drained the battery with the Samsung text still ongoing.
Today, I'm pretty sure the battery is drained (there's no text anymore), so I tried charging it. Nada, it's stuck with the loading logo on the battery image.
I think my device is bricked, I don't know. I researched it and all I found was the BootLoop. Is that the error on my SGP? I want to know if my device is bricked, and what caused this. Help?
Its not a brick..reboot to recovery (home + volume up + power ) and install some ics rom for player ..boot to that rom and then go again to recovery and install jb rom.That is offcourse if you have 5.0

Thanks, and one more question: Is it okay if I download the ROM zip from my computer and just transfer it to my player with Download Mode? Because I can't open my player, just to Download and Recovery mode.

transfer the zip files to your SD card; use those files to flash. Also, now, can you get into recovery/download mode? Like after having removed the player from the USB?
just curious- did you originally download the ROM/app package to your device (ie /mnt/sdcard/????) and flash, or did you place the files in the SD card (ie /mnt/sdcard/external_sd [or something like that]) before flashing?
===
Edit: Ok, so literacy kicked in and I carefully read your OP. My guess, and I could be wrong, though I doubt it, is that the installation aborted because you flashed the packages from your internal SD and NOT your external SD (ie the actual SD card). Since the ROM rearranges directory tree (or whatever), it would stand to reason that the installation aborted during the installation process since it could no longer locate the zip. Ie it is no longer /mnt/sdcard/downloads (or wherever), but rather /storage/sdcard0/downloads. I'm guessing that CWM bypasses this and accesses your SD card directly, rendering installation from your actual SD card immune to these effects.
So, try again (assuming your device can still go into CWM recovery) and flash the packages in the proscribed order, but this time, from the ACTUAL SD card, and NOT internal. I "upgraded" directly from a GB rom, having flashed the zip files from the external SD card, and suffered no problems, so I know it isn't necessary to go through ICS. Good luck!
This is a helpful one! I'm sorry, but one last question, (I'm a newbie sorry!) how do you move the zip files to the external SD Card? And if I do that, and it flashed successfully, do I have to start again if I remove my SD card? Really sorry for the questions, but I really want to know.
Thank you so much! Since my computer didn't recognize my SGP (suckish USB cable lol), I placed my external SD card on my cellphone and plugged the cellphone into the computer to download the zip files (I downloaded them directly to the card). Afterwards I placed my SD in my SGP and flashed--It's working, thank you!!!

All you need to do is use a file manager to move zip to sdcard1. Make sure you follow the steps in op of rom.
