make sure you extract the tar file and put the img file on your phone works like a charm

For some odd reason everytime I try to copy the file to my SD or Internal phone memory, it won't let me. Maybe it's my computer but I don't think so, I just keep getting this message "Cant copy file, program is not responding" Anyone with some input on this?
NEVERMIND GUYS, I JUST SENT IT THROUGH EMAIL AND IT WORKED THAT WAY. GUESS IT WAS MY COMPUTER.

Hey, that was slick. I must have read it 20 times and tried it 1-2 times, but got it to work. Thank you... One stupid question: After the install, I expected to be able to turn the phone off and start up using Volume down, home, and power and get into the TWRP again, but it didn't work that way. Am I suppose to use falshify each time I want to get into TWRP?

TWRP manager works great, Thank you. I don't know why Volume down, home and power didn't work. I tried it several times. At least the app gets the job done well for me.

Thank you so much!:good:

Worked like a charm! Thanks

Help
Stuck with and Androind on my screen, says could not do normal boot ODIN Mode

Vibrant NOT bricked!

Every time I flash bionix-v all my phone does is hard reset. Now I'm sure its my fault. So I'm asking for help to find where that fault is. I'm following team whiskeys install instructions. But what I'm getting is sd card can't be opened or file doesn't exist. I've tried placing the file in numerous locations. But no luck. So at this point I'm begging for help! Please.

your putting it on the internal sd right??
Yes, in the dl folder on the internal card
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
no ...you dont put it in a folder.. u just place it on the root of internal sd
say if you use the stock files app ..when you open that you should be able to see your .zip there without going to any files
Oh dang! Thanks let me give that a try.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Be careful if this is your first Voodoo flash....it comes with it enabled. If you go back to a version without voodoo make sure you go into CWM (red recovery) and go to advanced and voodoo lagfix and disable it first.
Oh and let it convert and reboot completely on its own when installing..you will hear Linda talking..
Same damn thing...no joy.
No lagfix nothin just odin back to jfd...wanted a clean slate for bionix

FYI it can be in a folder...I flashed everything like this from day 1. You should use md5 checksums to verify your download when they are provided though. It will verify bad downloads that could potentially hard brick your phone.

Cm7 google apps

I installed pre beta 3 and then rom manager said I need to insert an sd card. I have one in so I partitioned it and that fixed it. Then I downloaded and installed gapps using cwn recovery. 4.0.1.4 I think. After that there was nothing new in my app drawer. Am I being stupid idk exactly how everything works yet. Would gapps give me market because that's all I really need.

Wipe user data and factory reset then they will show

Go to bootloader then recovery find install zip from SD card go into clockworkmod folder find the zip file for gapps which if I'm correct its called go inside me" or something similar and flash it that way. Sometimes when I'm installing roms for reviews that's how I have to do it

Try what I said. Go into recovery then go to install zip from SD card then find clockwork mod folder it should be in there install the zip from there if all else fails find the market apk online. I suggest 4shared just type in apk. Android market

fixed it you have to manually mount system in cwm.

boot into recovery with 3 button combo, I think you are trying to flash through the cwm manager app, and its not compatible with JB, so volume up/home/power....and hold till it boots into recovery

[Q] phone bricked in twrp mode with no rom? help!!!

hi ,
i try to flash a new rom from the phone turned out that was not the correct zip file i downloaded. now i wiped cache and system and when i try to system boot it says no os so i cannot boot again. basically i'm stuck in twrp. can somebody please help. how should i flash new rom ?
Did you not make a backup?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if this is what you need,a member here much smarter than I told me this about my E970 when it was unplugged before the backup was made.
In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .
I don't completely understand what I'm doing when I'm doing things to my phone. All I know is that some pretty great people with a much better understanding of the inner workings of phones tell me to do this or that. On that note, why are people so quick to say their phone is bricked when they still have a phone that will boot into something? Anyway...
What if you try removing the sd card, use another phone or an adapter for a pc, to download a rom to it. Put it back in your phone boot into recovery and flash it.
Or use that LGPNST, or whatever you call it, method...

There should be two choices, flash from internal and flash from external. Did you choose the correct one?

If you are in TWRP you could use the file manager under advanced to try and move the .zip to internal memory. Then see if you can flash.
But I always flash from external and never have issues.
You may have a corrupt .zip, maybe try downloading it again and then try again.
I had an issue where my SD card wasn't Fat32 so TWRP wouldn't put anything on the SD or boot anything off the SD. I can't remember if I could browse the folders with TWRP's file manager or not though. That's not much help I know, but might be worth looking into. You can try formatting your SD as Fat32, loading the stock ROM on it, then see if TWRP will flash it.

That error will always happen. You can safely ignore it.
Wait so if you can get to TWRP why not just push the zip you need using ADB?

Force Delete a file

I have a file in my /data/data folder that is causing a ton of problems and will not delete through root explorer. There is something inside the folder keeping if from deleting. When I restart the phone, the renamed file goes back to the original file name. How can I force delete this file?
its /data/data/com.android.browser
TIA.

Either:

I wonder if I've just flashed too much.
