Folks - Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was trying to instal CM-10.1 on my U8800, copied the file downloaded from here on my SD card and used CWM to install. Forgot to make a backup (Noob mistake ).
The software didn't fully install and now the the problem is that while I can access both CWM Mod Recovery and the pink screen, I am unable to mound the external sd card (cannot write to ums lunfile) and neither are the drives showing up when I connect to the pc via USB in pink screen.
Very worried on how to install a rom as both internal and external sd cards are inaccessible by pc and phone respectively.
You can use adb push while cwm is running.

I'm not sure how to do that. I've just done a few google searches, not sure if I have the right results. Would you have any link/tutorial ?
If you haven't done so already, download and install the Android SDK from developer.google.com.
What you want from it is the debug driver and adb.
Then boot your device into CWM and connect it to computer, use the debug driver from the SDK.
Mount internal storage in CWM and check its mount location.
Open the folder where adb.exe is located on your computer and copy your ROM.zip to that folder.
Open a command prompt there and type "adb devices", your device should show up in the list.
Then type "adb push ROM.zip /mnt/sdcard/ROM.zip" to copy the file. (replace /mnt/sdcard if your internal storage is mounted elsewhere)
Good luck and be careful, I'm just trying to help but I'm not responsible if you do something without using some common sense.

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...

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.
I recently rooted my Nexus 10 and was wiping by data and system partitions for a fresh install of CM10, and I accidentally chose format all data. So my device is wiped except for TWRP.
I was hoping to just plug it back into my comp. and copy the zip over to install but even though my computer sees the device it doesnt show as removable storage,
I also tried to use adb sideload, but i get the error "failed to write data 'protocol fault <no status>'
Does anyone have advice for how I can get that zip back on my tablet.
In TWRP, select mount, then mount usb drive. Plug into your pc and it should it appear as a usb drive for you to copy the rom or zip.
Edit. It appears that the nexus 10 version of TWRP does not have this option.
Instead, you could use an otg cable and flash drive and copy it to your n10 with TWRP's built in file manager.

So I was about to flash a ROM and I had too many things on storage and cleaned and wiped everything. I then went on to use Format Data, hoping that it will only delete files and not the OS too. So now it deleted the OS and I'm stuck between bootloader or recovery mode and I can't seem to find a way to copy the zip file to my internal storage. Tried adb using cmd but it's not recognized and I'll have to dowload Google's SDK. This in turn will take about 2 hours and I'd really like to fix the problem ASAP. Anything I could do please?
Thanks and much appreciated.
You could always go to recovery, Mount your sd card and copy the file that way. Or setup fast boot and flash the stock image, or even just push the rom file through adb. You have a few options.

bump any help please?
If you did the smart thing i.e. turned your phone off immediately after you deleted the file, you should be able to recover it. But if you kept mucking around (in addition to not having a backup of your phone), all bets are off. You may well have overwritten the database if you continued to use the phone.
Your best bet would be to copy the area of phone memory where the database is or was. That both preserves a copy of what is recoverable and lets you avail yourself of the large number of PC based data recovery programs available.
The following terminal (CLI) commands should image (make an exact copy) of the /data and /system partitions to your external SD card. Then use a PC based data recovery program to recover the deleted file. Check these commands for typos before executing them. A typo could make a real mess of your phone's file system.
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 of=/extSdCard/data.img
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/extSdCard/system.img

Thanks i've tried every recovery software for android but it's not detecting any of the internal memory as sgs5 does not have usb mass storage i have enabled usb debug settings i have the samsung usb drivers but it shows up on my windows 7 as a portable device.
do you recommend any decent software or tutorial's which might help me recover it.
Thanks for your help!

You didn't follow any part of what I suggested, so it's a mystery why you quoted my post. I specifically advocated using PC based data recovery software, not an android app. And at no time would you need your S5 to be in MSC (mass storage) mode.
Use the posted commands to copy your memory contents to a SD card, plug the SD card into a PC and then use a PC based data recovery app. The commands can be entered from a terminal emulator app, TWRP or an ADB shell session CLI.
Good luck
