Can't install custom ROM - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Today i was trying to install custom ROM on Defy.
I successfully root it and install bootmenu.
But, when I trying to install zip from sdcard with recovery, it shows: 'Can't mount sdcard'.

Just be sure you follow the instructions right. If you use the search bar I'm sure you'll find the answer. I think that I saw the same problem here.
Good luck

@Vicsa I'm sure I do everything right. I even follow the steps in link you put in, but this don't work too. I tried other SD card; the same problem.

have you tried re-formatting your sd card? try copying your files on you desktop then reformat it and the transfer again. did you wipe cache partition?

Which custom rom you are installing and what is your present stock sbf .. i.e froyo or gingerbread. !!

Yes, I format SD card few times. And yes, I wipe cache partition.

I don't think it does matter, cause I just need now to access sdcard from Recovery.

Flash froyo sbf first.
I also had a problem mounting something, but don't remember if it was sdcard or system.

don't wipe dalvik cache until after custom rom install?
could be outdated recovery too

cannot delete from from internal sdcard

I searched but could not find the answer. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I am a semi-noob.
I've been trying to find the right rom for me and I installed cm10 with no problems.
After that, I tried cleanrom v1.1, but it would not boot.
Since then I cannot write or remove files from internal sdcard.
Can someone point me in the right direction to remedy this situation?
can you not remove from it when you are booted into the rom or when u r on PC ?
format it and do data reset, wipe cache in recovery, flash the rom afresh .

I was unable to remove files when booted into the rom. I did not try from PC.
Formatting the internal sdcard did the trick. I wasn't sure if that would be destructive.
Thanks for your help.
formatting storage solves 60 percent of most of our small time problems, even for symptoms like rebooting / freezing etc
but keep a back up

if you use Bootstrap
a.mounts and storage --> mount /system
b.wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition
c.install zip from sdcard -->choose zip from sdcard
As the one above me said
Reflash your Flipout with RSD Lite
In Recovery, wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Mounts and Storage --> mount /system
Flash the Rom, reboot and it should work ^^
Ok it's working I hope you will finish your work Great work!!!!! thx for help
same for me,didn't do the mount/system step.thanks!!
Im glad its working now, check out the Roms Thread for Bugs and Report Bugs there!

Ok here's the step by step guide:
1. Download this recovery, partition and rom place it in your root of your external sdcard.
2. Go to recovery then choose the recovery zip from your sdcard and flash it.
3. In the recovery itself go to advanced->reboot recovery.
4. When the recovery is rebooted make a factory reset, wipe partition cache, wipe dalvik cache.
In the recovery go to mounts and storage and wipe system, data and cache.
NOTE: While installing from sdcard in new recovery it will show you like /sdcard0=(external memory card) and /sdcard1=(internal storage).
5. Flash the partition from your sdcard. (Most probably the sdcard0.)
6. Reboot recovery.
7. Flash the ROM.
Happy Flashing......:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Q] [Solved] Data not being formatted!

Hi,
I have installed Ultra Gb revolutionary 1.6 Rom and have been using it for a while. I wanted to remove all content on phone..so i tried to wipe data and reinstall the rom again. Rom flashed correctly and i rebooted the phone..but user apps were not removed, they are still on the phone.
I tried changing kernel, flash another rom, flashed utra gb again, the apps are still there, why?
You can try to conenct your sdcard to your PC and delete .android_secure, it contains sd apps that don't get deleted with /data
If it doesn't work you can use Wipe data option in settings :good:

Well, that may be a kernel issue! Try to install stock kernel/ROM via odin and get it all clean!

I think that's not the kernel, he said he tried to change it, i think he haves a problem because /data is not mounted,
OP use CWM and mount /data, then do wipe data & cache

While selecting Factory reset on cwm, data & cache are automatically mounted and both data, cache and .andtoid_secure is wiped! I'm jst sharing my experience, it happened with me few times while using percy_g2 kernel! The best option for me was odin!
In CWM in general partition is mounted when wiped, I think switching kernel and try again
Flash another CM kernel and wipe data then return to your kernel, or do a factory reset from setting in phone
Try to use odin. Your userdata.img may be Corrupted
Press Thanks if Helped
Well a simple solution to the problem :
1.Go to CWM,mount all the partitions and flash percy's kernel (CyanogenMod #2)
2.Go back and then go to advanced > reboot recovery
3.Now you'll be in Percy's recovery and from there,under mounts and storage,format data and format cache.
4.Go back and then go to mounts and storage and mount all the partitions.
5.Flash back to bieltv.3's kernel and reboot.
Finally, i had to flash flash stock Rom via Odin and go back to ultra gb.. Thanks for all the help guys

First things first, try booting regardless, every time I flash the stock Oreo rom V20A, it says no os installed
(I recommend having an SD card to put the rom on) go to wipe and format your data, once having done that wipe everything Dalvik, Data, System, Cache. But not the SD card. Then after that, go to flash, select your SD card then flash the rom.
