TWRP not able to recognize/mount SD card content to install root.zip - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello...I use a Samsung S Advance GT-I9070
Recently I tried to root it by copying root.zip , update.zip and TWRP file into the external SD card by connecting it to my PC.
Then I tried to install root.zip file using stock recovery I was facing this error "E: signature verification failed" every time I did it.
Then I tried to flash CWM via odin3 by putting my phone on download mode and connecting it to PC but after pressing stat in odin3..I got an error that the process failed. I tried 2 more times and still the process failed.
Then I thought of rebooting my phone but I was getting this message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" so I tried kies to recover it but it wasn't working.
So then I put the phone again in download mode connected it to PC and then used odin3 to flash TWRP and the process was successful and the phone got recovered.
But the MAIN PROBLEM is that when I tried to put phone into TWRP recovery mode and install the root.zip file it's not showing me the contents of SD card. I tried to weep the phone do the factory reset and then try and it is still not working.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM....I'll be very thankful to you!
PS: Basically I want to root my phone and install cyanogenmod 11 to get android 4.4 kitkat in my phone.

[Q] Can't Get Into Download Mode

Hi guys, I'm in the process of installing CM 10.0.0 on my at&t galaxy note as per Quincyatt Info on Cyanogenmod wiki. I'm having trouble pushing the cm.zip onto my sdcard via adb. When I try to get into download mode in order to put zip with cyanogenmod on my sdcard I get a screen that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The play by play is:
1) boot phone by holding Volume Down while plugging in microUSB.
2) Receive "Warning!! A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications..."
3) press Volume Up to continue to download mode
4) screen goes to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The steps I followed on the wiki:
1) Get and setup Heimdall Suite 1.4RC2
2) Flash ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.1-quincyatt onto my phone
3) I powered off
PS when I try to "adb push cm-10.0.0-quincyatt.zip /sdcard/" I get "error: device not found," which I assume is because my phone, while plugged in, is not in download mode.
PPS When I try to go directly into CWM with volume up + volume down + lock/power it takes me to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.."
i had this same issue about a month ago...
-
I booted my phone to this message: Warning!! A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications...
Then plugged the usb cable to my phone and ran Odin.and flashed with pda.tar file
Then rebooted the phone and my phone was able to get to download mode.

Yep. Thanks!
For the record:
I used Odin to flash a stock I717 kernel (provided by da___g) and then proceeded with the cyanogenmod wiki's instructions. In order for my computer to see my phone so it could push files via adb I had to be in ClockWorkMod. My phone was non-functional (could only go into download/recovery mode and CWM) until I flashed CM10 with CWM.
Why push a zip file with adb? Just put it on your sd card by data cable or by mailing it to yourself or by download.
But then you have to be able to get into recovery. . .

Vernee Apollo stuck in bootloop, what to do?

Guys, in need of desperate help here!
I've heard my friends joking that girls are not good with tech so I decided to prove them wrong by flashing a custom ROM on my newly acquired Vernee Apollo phone. Well, that ended badly - I succeeded rooting it and installing SuperSU, but I bricked it when I tried flashing a ROM so now when I turn it on it stays on the Vernee logo.
I suppose I have to open TWRP recovery and reset my phone with the backup I created earlier but I can't access it - I can only access Recovery Mode and FastBoot Mode
In FastBoot mode I try to connect the phone to my PC and get to TWRP but adb doesn't find my device anymore...
And In Recovery mode, when I try to flash the ROM, it using 'Apply update from SD card' it says 'Opening update package...' and right after that 'Installation aborted' (and my battery is almost full).
Any help is appreciated! <3

Blu Grand X G090 - Installation aborted when trying to update

My Blu get into Erasing... loop as soon as the phone is switched on. After about 30-40 minutes it goes into Android Recovery screen. Here I choose "Apply update from SD card". Have downloaded BLU_G090_REPAIR.rar and then saved it as .zip onto a SD card.
When choosing this from SD Card, it comes up with:
-- Install /sdcard/BLU_G090_REPAIR.zip ...
Installation aborted.

Have also tried "Reboot to bootloader" but then the phone is not connecting via USB cable. The one that does, the cable just seems to come out from the port on the phone.
___
Kindly help / advice.
Thanks.
That file is not flashable via recovery

That file is not flashable via recovery, nor custom or stock. You need to install MTK drivers on your PC, download SP Flash tools and flash the file you already downloaded with it, detailed instructions are over the Internet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 stuck on boot logo and unable to flash stock rom

Hello, today I was trying to restart my phone after it was updating an app from the google play store for several hours and since then it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 logo. My phone is rooted and has TWRP installed.
I still can enter TWRP recovery mode but literally everything I can do there fails. I get the "unable to mount storage" message whenever I try to wipe or format something and it is showing 0MB for all partitions.
I tried flashing the stock firmware using adb sideload but I am still just getting unable to mount storage/cache/data messages after a second. I also tried flashing the .zip file through USB OTG cable but got the same result.
When I tried flashing the file with JOdin3 (Odin for Linux) I got this message: "A corrupted file was detected. In order to continue, you must select a valid Odin File" (Still got this message after I redownloaded the file)
If anyone has any suggestions, please leave a comment.
Edit: Tried flashing with Heimdall and it somewhat worked but if I boot my phone now I get "fail to open recovery cause no such file or directory" error for a split second and then it reboots...
Please can anyone help me?
