Have you tried flashing all the stock images? Try running the sh or bat file in the extracted directory.

I can't use my recovery mode!

When I try to root my phone I can't because when I click to -APPLY UPDATE FROM SD CARD- says:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) E:Can't mount /sdcard
Install from sdcard complete.
I'm already installed the update.zip but says this thing again!!!!! What I have to do?
Thanks!

First go to CWM then chose storage (i dont remember) and mount sd card. Then try again..
if it dont work then you should format ur sd card
Am I just have to put the CWM to sdcard?

maybe you have the wrong update zip.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
Im tried every update.zip's. And my problem its not about update.zip, about recovery mod.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
Use odin and try to flash a fresh stock rom. Then try rooting again by using zip file. Root your phone using stock recovery not cwm.

I'm already done my job with odin. I'm tried rooting again and again but it didn't worked...
Guys, I just learned my sd is not working well that's why recovery mod dont see my sd... Thank you all!

[Q] Question about nexus 10 factory reset and virtual SD card.

I was wondering... If you do a factory reset in cwm, will it remove the contents of the virtual SD card? I would hope it wouldn't, but want to make sure.
Also wondering if it would erase the contents of the cwm backup folder, since that's been separated out now.

No if you do a factory reset in cwm it wipes only the /data and cache partitions so you can then flash a rom which overwrites /system, so everything but /sdcard gets wiped.
And what about the cwm folder? I haven't heard of it changing.
It's always been /sdcard/clockworkmod/

With the nexus 10, the clockwork mod backup folder is in /mint/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

weird, I went to find my clockworkmod folder and it's not in my sdcard. =O
I also can't find "/mint/" maybe you meant /mnt? but even then it's still not there. I did a nandroid backup, but I cannot find the folder.
Mistype, /mnt/
I know that alot of apps can't see that directory, thats "by design" from what i've seen... i'm using ES File Manager, have it set to root permissions, and have it set to up to root, and i'm able to see it there.

[Q] Questions about backing up and restoring

So I made a backup using CWM (I am running Paranoid Android 3). If I flash a different ROM, can I use this to restore all of my data? And were are the backup files located? Thanks.
Use titanium backup to restore apps and app data but do not restore system apps or data.
Your cwm nandroids are stored in /data/media/clockworkmod

So does that restore the internal sd card as well?

No. The ONLY way to backup your sdcard is to copy it elsewhere. PC USB otg or something. NONE of the backup utilities actually backup your sdcard

Ok that helped a ton. Thanks!

Unable to Mount SD

Hi all,
I've come from Desire S which is a little different from this one when it come to flashing a roms it seems.
I'm unable to mount my sd card in recovery after a full wipe to put the zip onto it, I can do side load and have my custom rom on now but needless to say when in recovery i like to put my zips there and now cant.
I've noticed I don't have a 4EXT folder on my sd either if that means anything.
Help
What recovery are you using. You won't see a 4ext folder because there is no 4ext recovery for Nexus 4
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You can't.
The nexus 4 doesn't use ums storage.
It uses mtp which can't be mounted in recovery.
You can always use adb with
Adb push ROM.zip /sdcard

Twrp backup

Hello, I made a backup in twrp and its 3GB large. I even deleted my music and it is still that large. How can I make smaller nandroids?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It will remain that large no matter what until you delete it since disk images can build up there own size which will make them empty but the recovery uses a tool to write to this image file and has to leave some unused space to the nearest Gigabyte or Megabyte.
Deleting stuff on your SD will NEVER shrink a file in size unless your editing the text or code.

Well the music is gone now, TWRP does not backup contents of your internal storage.

Nope I backed it all up on my pc. But there is no way to make backups smaller? On CWM they are a lot smaller I thought?

Well the backup does backup the data partition, system partition, dalvik cache, cache and .android_secure from the internal storage.

Your backups will always be large, but if you make sure compression is enabled when you are going through the backup process then it should shrink it down a little, I get around 1.4GB for a twrp nandroid
Hope this helps
