Hi,
I'm having issues with installing .zip files from sd card in cwm.
I've done this many times before, but somehow something got changed and I've got no idea what.
I installed cwm, then I copied the .zip files (the rom) to my sd card in usb mass storage. After that I went to AD Recovery --> install zip from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard and then it says No files found.
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
Okay nvm,
somehow it did not recognize that .zip file

Hi,
I'm new to the scene and I wanted to try out CM7 booting from SD before I install it to the internal memory. I am having a problem pasting the CM7 zip file on the card. The instructions state "Put the file to the SD card (there is only one partition). Don't change the name of the file."
After I burned the installer image to the card it only shows up as having a capacity of 115mb. It is a sandisk 16gb card. From what I read I need to access another partition, but I dont know how to do this.
Could someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

If you are seeing a partition named "boot" that is 115MB, that is correct. The CM7 zips are all around 95-97MB. You will not be able to see the other partitions in Windows without additional software (Windows only sees the first active partition on a drive).
(You will, however, see the storage partition (in your case ~13.5GB) if you use USB storage mode to connect your Nook to your PC once your CM7 SD install is set up).
Edited: Sorry, ignore me!
I posted in the wrong thread and couldn't find a way to delete my post!
Yep, the "only one partition" that you see is the "only one partition" that you need. Put the zip in there, put the card in your NC, and gogogo.
Thanks for everyone's reply. I was able to get everything working. I actually just had to rename the zip file to Update-CM.zip for everything to run correctly.
Thanks again.
So here's the thing. Today i tried installing Paranoid on my HTC HD2. And it's not the first time i am doing this. I also wanted to use that link2sd for more space for my apps and i decided to create the Ext4 before installing the Rom.....which didn't work out so i reformatted the SD back to FAT32 and went on with the installation. So using HD2 toolkit wipped Task 29 installed CLK and CWM recovery, copied over the zip file to SD card. Normally i pressed "install zip from sd card" and then "choose zip from sd card" and it says ??No files found??. Tried that a couple of times, reformated the sd, done the process all over again but it's all the same.
Sorry for that long story but i want to make clear of what's my problem and i would really be very greateful if somebody can help me with this thing.
P.S. First time i formatted the SD was with Minitool Partition Wizard.
Thanks in advance!!
Every ROM i download/copy onto my SD card is corrupt? I made a folder and copied a rom into in from my computer and the folder became corrupted. From then all the ROMs i copy/download are corrupt?
There was a ROM on the SD card before that isnt corrupt. Will formatting my SD card fix the problem?
It should, unless the card is damaged.
I wiped the sd card in android and then downloads a rom and gapps to the sd card. In TWRP i did a nandroid backup of my current OS. I couldnt access any folders in Install ZIP except for the TWRP folder. I ran chkdsk on the sd card through cmd on my pc. I then copied another rom into the root of the card and flashed it, it seems to be working now as the zip flashed without a problem. I will try to download another rom through android and flash that and see if it is corrupts it again.
I downloaded a rom to the sd card in android and the rom is corrupt. Im going to wipe the sd card in twrp and redownload the rom
it looks like that has fixed it (wiping in TWRP).
That's excellent news. I had an 8GB card that would display one set of folders in recovery and an entirely different set of folders in Android. The only solution for that one was to download SDFormatter on the PC, install it, and wipe the MicroSD using that tool.
Wanted marshmallow on my note 3.
I have the zip file for the marshmallow on internal storage and sd card but now the TWRP doesn't recognise the sd card and i am stuck.
This is what I did:
I flashed TWRP 3.0 using odin in my Samsung note 3.
Then I clicked on wipe and then format Data.
Then went to advanced wipe and clicked on data to change its format to F2FS. (was recommended in the guide to change the format)
Now I go to install and try to find the zip file on sd card but i can't seem to find it.(pretty sure the format data or changing the format, deleted the zip file in the internal storage)
I went to advanced wipe and clicked on micro sdcard and pressed repair or change file system.
The information about the file stats that there is no sd card present.
I am stuck guys and any help would be helpful please.
In the following thread I found a method for booting from SD card:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572924
The principle ist:
-put system.img and other on SD card.
-boot into recovery
-install a special "update.zip"
When you do this, the update.zip is not really installed, but the updater-script is called which mounts the sd card and reboots.
But I cannot find the update.zip.
And idea how to do it?
