Ok so i have a htc one with the internal data wiped, so i have no rom to flash. If i buy a micro sd card and copy roms onto it using my other phone, take the sd out and stick it in the htc one, will it recognize the sd card and the files on it? Right now the htc doesnt have any OS installed so im not sure if it will recognize the sd card in recovery mode. The phone is unlocked/rooted with twrp on it.
HTC One doesn't have an SD slot, use TWRP and adb sideload to flash a ROM.
Lol just realized. Only problem when trying to sideload, I can't get my macbook to recognize it when using the cmd ./adb devices

Just an FYI incase someone bumps into this thread looking for help, I could not get sideload to work properly so I just ended up buying a OTG usb cable and it worked like a charm. Just transfered zip files using my other device to the attached usb thumb drive and the htc one read the thumb drive connected to the otg cable perfectly fine in twrp. Just be sure to mount it in twrp. A very cool little tool that i can see myself using for other purposes as well.

Hey guys I was messing around with kaosgingerbread earlier and I made a nandroid backup of KGB but after rebooting, my phone reported that my sd card was damaged and I need to reformat to fix it. I can't mount it or access it. I tried restoring an earlier nandroid and it restored perfectly fine but still reported the card as damaged. I sadly have not been backing up my files like I should've so I have some important files that I don't want to lose but I cant mount it to my pc.
I was wondering if there was any way I could save those files. Is it possible to pull the files to my pc with adb? Should I get a mini sd to sd adapter and plug it in directly to my pc? Or am I pretty much screwed and should just cut my losses at this point?

if i were you id use the sd adapter and see if itll mount to pc that way and if it wont mount you might just have to start fresh by reformatting on your phone thru setting\sd storage....hope that helps

Have you tried to boot in recovery and use usb toggle to access your sd card?

No I have not ill try that now see how it works, thanks!
Edit: just tried it out no luck says I have to reformat it to access the files, if that's the case, will it be pointless to try the sd adapter? Is reformatting my only option at this point?
Sent from my Vanilla FroShedYo using XDA App
Well decided to bite the bullet and reformat had some issues doing it from the phone so I had to boot into recovery and use usb ms toggle and reformat from windows but it fixed the issue.
Now my question is does anyone know what caused the issue to begin with?

if i dont have an external sdcard and ive wiped my phone, is there a way for me to connect my phone to the computer to transfer files while im in recovery?
Its possible using adb push to /data/media
Make sure you dismount after copy or recovery wont see the file

Connect your phone to pc/laptop then in recovery select mount usb and then your device wil appear as external drive

Unfortunatly Galaxy S3 cant mount internal storage as usb. It is formatted in ext4. Adb is probably best option

No usb mount option in SGS3..connect adb..type adb push/pull /path of the target /path of destination.
Or if you are good at edify/busybox..create a updater script to flashed via CWM

Hey guys, I am rooted/unlocked running Jelly'Beans' Build 11 (going to build 12 tonight) and for some reason I can access my SD card while the phone is running normally, but when I boot to recovery it says I cannot mount the external SD to flash a file.
I get around this by just using the internal storage, but this is not ideal. Can anyone give me an explanation of why this might be happening, or maybe tell me how to fix it? Thanks!
either a bad sd card or you need to format the card to fat32.

If it were bad or formatted improperly, would I still be able to access and use it under normal phone conditions? I use it to save my pictures to, and I can access it from the phones file browser as well as when it is plugged into a pc.

cwm recovery does not recognize exfat. you will have move your files to a pc then format the card to fat32 if you want cwm to recognize it.

I tried switching to TWRP, but under the supported devices in CWM it only lists the Note 2 HSPA. and I am obviously on VZW. Is this ok?

Just download goo manager. Open the app, hit the menu key and select install recovery. It will download the right one

This method worked for me. I am on a Galaxy S4 SGH m919. I stumbled upon this posting by doing a search. I was having a problem where my SD card is working but it wouldn't mount in recovery, so I couldn't restore back ups, of flash anything. I only had this problem after I had flashed Google Edition 4.3. I still don't know exactly what caused it, but this recovery TWRP did the trick. Thank you so much for helping me out!!
I have htc evo shift 4g, but it is running 2.3.4 so you have to downgrade to 2.2 to enable root without bricking it. I have tried all guides but afterwards i am still on 2.3.4 wih=thout root, can anyone help me please?!?!?!

Just looking at the first link,
You have a bad SD card or
SD card not formatted to fat32
Not on root of sdcard (as in no folders)
Bad SD tray (unreadable by phone)
Named wrong (remember windows sometimes hides extentions)
These are the only reasons your phone isn't finding the image
There really is no other reason your bootloader won't find the update, I would triple check info above and if you still can't get it you should be able to use fastboot instead

When you said bad SD Tray, did youi mean like phone only reads sd card when fully booted, cause my phone does read sdcard
Yup, if your phone reads it that's not the issue

Also i formatted my sdcard(2GB Micro SD) and put the pg06img.zip onto it but it didnt load, also tried with 8gb Sandisk, I have been trying to root this phone for over a week and have broke it with anger. It usually only takes me about 20mins to root a phone
Well these are the only reason this method won't work, but cnexus knows what he's doing so ask if you can just flash through fastboot
Should be
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip stockrom.zip
Or whatever you name it, just double check with him

I Feel Your Pain, Mine Is Also Un-Rootable
I bought a ZTE T81 4.4.2 and everytime I've tried to root "Your Phone Is Incompatible" or "Error Incompatibility Disconnecting Device" and its sad because all I want is a root explorer! I suppose at least I've more freedom then an apple device! APPLE SUCKS!
So I wiped everything and realized I didn't have a ROM downloaded onto my internal storage...for some reason USB storage mounting doesnt work and doesn't show up on my computer..how can I get a ROM on my phone??
I know there is like adb sideload but I don't know how to use it and it wont even start up in TWRP....Looks like im screwed...

Do you have a working sd card. TWRP will see external as well as internal storage. Place sd card into computer , download rom onto card, place back into your galaxy then boot back into recovery and flash from sd card.

If you have a rom in your computer you can adb sideload from recovery and will flash.
Probably too late tho since you replied 4 hours ago lol
