Jellybean rom and gapps can't be found on Xoom recovery - Xoom General

Hi everyone, I know this is on some thread around here already but I'm kinda new here so,
I tried to flash team EOS jb rom + gapps on my Xoom and they weren't found ..
A message appeared saying , error mounting SD card or backup/path not found or something.
My xoom is rooted with stock rom ics, 4.0.4 and at first I tried flashing using rom manager , and no success..the n manually ..the same.
I can't backup current rom neither flash a new one.. I read about reflashing cwm , and I kinda got lost in there..
I moved the .zip files into the internal memory of the Xoom and the same...I got into recovery mode manually and I followed the procedure and again...no .zip
Files found not even on the internal memory.. as I said I tried mounting SD card, mount system and nothing...same error appeared..
So , I really appreciate any advice or tip or whatever helpful... thanks in advanced and sorry for asking something that many already know..have a good day !!

Which recovery are you using ?
Can you still access external sd from recovery?

Yeah, sounds like you're not using CWM recovery.
Follow the steps to install this, and flash via CWM.

I can't access SD card via recovery , it says error: backup path not found.. and error mounting SD card.
But I can access my external SD card using any file explorer , It appears normally .
Idk but , so when I rooted my Xoom I remember have flashed cwm via adb , cause I had to connect my Xoom to the PC and I remember a .zip file called something cwm , and tiamat ....so , should I go again and reflash cwm zip , and if so , which one should I flash again? cause my Xoom is already rooted and unlocked, wouldn't that damage the system?

You won't loose root. You are using the same fast boot commands to unlock your boot loader and install this recovery IMG...
Then this new recovery, flash eos ROM which is per rooted already...

[Q] clockworkmod

how can i update my clockworkmod have tryed through CWM app which updates it but after reset it goes back to old one have tried wit unrevok wich froz on waiting for root and have tried wit terminal which never worked any othr way.
Download cwm Ingram file, then from your PC use fastboot.executive to flash, or else put image in root of SD and use terminal to flash it. Search the forum you will find both methods. Using rom manager to flash cwm is not permanent method. It just boots into recovery and use the 'update zip like ' file to temporary boot into another recovery. It just make use of cwm files in memory card to boot.

Idk, maybe i was just tired. I was able to successfully flash flexreaper ics. I guess my only concern now is my backed up roms dont show up in rom manager, running v 5.0.0.6. Any idea why? (cwm is version 5.5.0.4, if it matters)

Rom Manager is a phone app. I'd advise not using it for the 500/501. Unless they changed something in the past month, you could really wonk up your tab.
Check your Ext SD card. You should have a folder called Clockwork, which contains your recovery backups. (unless you already formatted your SD card)
When you make a recovery (either CWM or RA), you should boot to the recovery, and do your recovery backup/nand backup from there. NOT through Rom Manager.

Help flashing ROM?

Hey guys! I need some help flasing this ROM on my Nexus 7, [ROM] Eclipse 2.1 Grouper - Build 1 - Welcome to the Dark!! (10/12/12)....
Every single time I try to flash it, it never works. I do the following, I install goomanager and flash TWRP recovery. I install all the necessary things to get it running. I transfer the ROM along with the zip file to flash google apps to the internal storage. I then boot to recovery, wipe/cashe/factory reset/devlik. But then I lose the files and cant flash the ROMs. I just flashed stock google jelly bean. Any suggestion/help with this?
Install Clockworkmod recovery, then make a full wipe and flash the rom

I find it easiest to download directly to my N7 "sd card". I use CWM but reboot to recovery, wipe data and then flash ROM from zip on the "sd card" and then reboot.

So, when I do the factory reset, it'll wipe the internal storage but not the 'sd card'?

Alright, now how do I get there? I used EZ File Explorer and placed the 2 zip files in the download file. Is that the correct place?
Any location is good, just to be on the sd card

I normally just leave it in the download folder. In order to flash it, you just go into recovery and do your steps. When it asks for a location, just direct it to the folder you placed it in and flash.
p.s. don't forget about wipe

Nevermind! I got it to work! I left it out in the root folder like you guys said and the file was still there after the reset! Flashed ROM to the eclipse ROM! Thanks for all your help! :victory: ^_^
Glad you got it to work, but to answer your question, you wipe first then flash the new rom (so you have a clean slate). You don't want to install over other roms unless maybe if it was a minor update of the same rom.

No firmware to be loaded? HELP!

Hey fellas,
I have a big problem. I wanted to wipe the sdcard of my transformer and fresly reinstall a ROM by RaymanFX. Now, after wiping the sdcard and a factory reset and cache wipe I chose 'reboot system now' in CWM and nothing is booting now. I still can enter CWM 6.01.4. Hybrid by RaymanFX but I cannot mount the sdcard or emmc and thus flashing via external isn't an option either. So I tried the flash-tool Easy Flasher in order to flash a official ASUS firmware, but this does't work either. My Windows x64 laptop recognized an apx-device but after rebooting nothing happens.
I'm really lost... :crying:

2 Serious problems

I have been a Samsung Galaxy Y user for more than a year. I have to say that this device is awesome. But.... I have later noticed 2 problems.
1) One day I tried to install Elegance ROM. I followed all steps very carefully and when the installation was done, I rebooted my phone. Unfortunately, my phone booted up again at Samsung stock firmware. I tried to enter recovery mode because I wanted to see what went wrong, but I was automatically redirected to CWM recovery. I tried once again to install Elegance ROM, and the result was the same. From that day, CWM is my default recovery. Why? How to fix this??? I can't access stock recovery and I also cannot install any custom ROMs. How to fix this?
2) Even my SD card is full with songs, photos and videos, the "Gallery" and "Music" apps don't read any file. Why? How to fix this?
P.S. I'm running stock 2.3.6 rooted.
Thanks for help.

You have a permanent cwm because you are using a custom kernel with a permanent cwm - probably was included in the rom zip
If you want stock recovery flash stock kernel (can be found in general section or flash hells fusion #50 from dev section and select option to flash stock kernel)
you would of remained on stock rom after flashing another rom because you didn't mount system in cwm before you flashed the zip
As for your other problem flash stock rom via odin as you have probably mucked something up from flashing zips incorrectly
So.... If I flash the stock kernel, will I be able to access stock recovery and flash CWM every time I want?
By the way, this mess with the files started when I changed my phone's SIM card. When I turned my ohine on again, I opened by mistake the "Galery" app. I noticed that no images were there. I also thought that the "music" might also had the same problem. And that's what happened. Which Odin version I will need?
Thanks again.

Yes stock kernel = stock recovery and you can flash a temporary cwm
there is no problems with a permanent cwm in custom kernels as you need cwm to flash roms
If you goto phone settings about phone it will show you your current baseband - for example mine is xxlf3
You can either download that stock rom firmware from dokys thread if there or any other from your country
Thanks everybody. You are all really helpful. I appreciate your help. But tell me, do I need to mount system before installing Elegance? And while I'm having a custom kernel installed, can I flash roms or I need the stock kernel?
Thanks again.

Follow instructions on the op of the rom you want to flash
you must always mount system before flashing a zip else nothing will happen - you can flash zips all day and no changes would happen as it can't write to system as it's not mount!
As a general rule
wipe system
wipe data
wipe cache
mount system
mount data
mount cache
flash zip
format data (not always required just for some roms)
restart
you do not need to go back to stock to change rom
There are guides in general section - please read them first then you would understand the process

I refer you to my previous post in this thread
wipe data system cache
mount everything
flash rom
you can use any compatible kernel
The problem with the files is caused by the sdcard
