[Q] Unable to push zip to "sdcard" in CWM recovery - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am unable to push a zip to the sdcard for installation in CWM. I don't have a rom to boot to, which is why i have to push it in recovery. I've tried adb push /data/media, /sdcard, /storage/sdcard0, /mnt/sdcard. ADB shows a successful transfer in the command prompt, however it doesn't show in "install zip from sdcard". Pls help

Huawei u8800 MEGA PROBLEM!

Ok guys, so here is the deal
The phone was rooted and Oxygen ROM installed, but it has a major problem: The USB Mass Storage DOES NOT WORK! And the android market keeps closing(Force Close).
To install another ROM, you need to put files on your internal memory(the zip with the rom), but since the USB Mass Storage does not work, it seems "impossible".
You can't download files to the phone's internal memory, it asks for and SD Card.
Already tried putting the zip on external SD Card and then using ES File Explorer move it to Phone, but a message pops up saying that the file cannot be moved.
So the question is how to install another rom, or at least fix the USB Mass Storage problem. Is it possible to use external SD Card files on Clockwork Recovery like "install zip form SD Card"?
Also the internal memory and RAM capacity are not being shown correctly.
Thanks in advance!
dude it simple , if ur usb mode i not detected then take out the memory card and use a memory card reader to put other rom zip , if u dont have card reader then put the card in some other mobile fone use it to put the files . problem solved
It does read the external SD Card, but there is no option in ClockWork Recovery to install a zip from an external SD Card...
If you have oxygen installed, then you have the custom recovery image, which definately have an option to install zip from sdcard.

Tried through ROM manager, comes up with an error
SD Card marker not found...
Error verfying extendedcommand
And when you chose "Install Zip From SD Card", it goes to phone memory, which is kinda locked, cus you can still install the oxygen rom that's in there, but cannot place new files, already tried through ES Explorer(it fails).
Any suggestions?
I have the exact same problem, a solution I read somewhere is rebooting into recovery mode, and then go to "mounts and storage". There mount sdcard and usb storage.
Didn't work for me though, it gives "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)
edit: it's your lucky day, I just solved it after 3 hours of work ;D
what I did was:
- Go to recovery mode
- installed adb drivers (can't post URL because of not having 8 posts, i'll pm them if you want)
- put the cyanogenmod zip in the adb folder (for me "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
-opened up a command prompt and typed "adb push cgm.zip /sdcard
-then I installed from zip. phew!

Hey!
Yeah! That would be cool!
But where will i install those drivers? Tried copying cyanogenmod zip file from SD card to phone using ES Epxlorer and it failed... Tried creating new folder and it failed...
EDIT:
Oh... ADB drivers on PC...

help with root i9020a

hi can i have some help?
stuck on the adb push part, cmd window says failed to copy ____ to _____ read-only file system.
any idea how to fix this?
(from step by step rooting guide for 9020a)
I assume you mean the "adb push su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip /sdcard/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" part. Maybe you forgot the /sdcard at the beginning, otherwise no need to worry about adb anyway. Just copy that file over to the sdcard by any means you like (adb, mount usb storage, etc).
However, i would be using a newer su zip from the official web page, just to save hassle if you are using ICS. Guaranteed to work
If you have already flashed the recovery... easiest way is just to boot into recovery then mount the USB storage and copy it that way. Then unmount and flash the zip while still in recovery.

thanks for the help!
sorry to ask another question (first time rooting), but I can't find any sdcard folder after i go into usb mass storage?
and the new su zip will work on 2.3.6? (planning on using cm9)
New su works on 2.3.6 fine. Mount USB storage is the sdcard partition, so anywhere in there.

[Q]ADB help pushing rom

Hi
Nexus 7 is rooted and trying to update ROM...Stuck on Google logo screen at start-up..
Can get into cwm recovery.
Trying to put rom in storage so I can flash it.
In the mounts and storage menu when i select mount /sdcard...Nothing happens.
When i select mount /system...the name changes to unmount /system
I just need to access the storage so i can flash my rom
I cannot see the flash storage on my computer when I select mount /sdcard or /system
So I tried just pushing the rom from adb.
#adb devices
#adb mount /sdcard (command does not work)
#adb mount /system (command does not work)
#adb push SmoothROM-v4.1.zip /sdcard/SmoothROM-v4.1.zip (just get back " _ " No transfer rates or anything)
Please help me flash this ROM
Thank You
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok I fixed it...I pushed the rom using qtadb....with that software i could see the filestructure...i pushed the file to /data/media (i think)...and i could find the zip from clockwork...rom just installed...works great...
Please can some clarify how the storage works in nexus 7? Where is the sdcard files? is it stored in /data/media ?
why did the adb mount command did not work?
Adb push (file name) /mnt/sdcard/(final directory of your choice)
Shouldn't need to mount anything

Cwm error

Unable to mount UMS in any CWM. Says there is no such file or directory.

[Q] Can't mount /sdcard

Somehow I managed to make it so my Nexus 4 can't mount internal sdcard. I've tried formatting it from CWM and everything, no luck.
What do I do to get a working phone again?
You can't use "mount /sdcard" with the N4 because it is the command to mount *external* sdcard
What are you trying to achieve?
If you're trying to flash a zip already in sdcard:
flash zip => 0 => your sdcard folder
to push to sdcard, use adb push filename /sdcard/0/filename
Sent from my Nexus 4 in a Faraday cage
Apparently using that command ("mount /sdcard") actually destroyed the mounting of it so it couldn't be mounted in CWM.
Only way to resolve was wiping /data
