I accidentally deleted the /system in twrp for my tablet. :crying:I have a twrp backup for the system partition and rom.zip on my computer but i can't seem to transfer it to the tablet. The sd card reader on my tablet is also dead, so I can't put it on a sd card to flash. I tried using android file manager on my mac to transfer over the file, but it doesn't seem to detect the tablet. Is there any ways to resurrected my tablet.
Hi, and please excuse my poor english.
Without external SD support you can't use a custom recovery to load any files from SD. Maybe you can use adb to push your zip to the internal storage and load it from there.
I think the best you can do is to use Odin and restore a stock rom. I usually download them from Sammobile.

I'm up to the part where I browse the SD card for the ZIP file.
Clockwork claims to be showing my SD Card, but it's actually showing my XOOM's internal memory.
What can I do?
I fixed it. It appears to have been an issue with the root.
It somehow became unrooted. Using the universal method, I fixed it and now CWM sees the SD card.
you might want to change you recovery to tiamats or rogues recovery, they are more suitable for the xoom.
just download either in the .zip file and write the zip in cwm recovery.
I like rogues because it allows you to mount a usb drive.
also stay away from rom manager- great for phones but not the xoom

I rooted my Moto Electrify M (which to my knowledge is the same as the Razr M from verizon) and I was attempting to put CM10 on it. I was following the directions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012093&page=57 and I accidentally deleted my internal storage (which contained my zip files GAPPS and CM10. I now have a rooted/unlocked bootloader phone with no operating system and am unsure how to install CM10.
I attempted using my external SD in another phone to transfer the files. Once I booted up TWRP in recovery mode and attempted to install I could not find said files. I'm a super noob at this whole root thing, please help
I'm not sure what the problem would be, maybe try going into Mount in twrp and unchecking the box for external sd before looking for the files.
to clarify, when I am in "install" there are folders named /sd /sdext etc but there is nothing in the folders. I have tried toggling between external and internal memory while using the install feature.
What version of twrp do you have? I put my rom zips on the root of the sd card, and when I switch twrp from internal to external, everything is right there.
Try using the file manager and see if you can find the files. If you can, but still can't get to them in the install page, use the file manager to move them over to internal storage and see if they appear there.
Do you know how to use fastboot? You could flash cwm recovery instead, and see if that shows the files.
I have version 2.2.2.1 of twrp.
I cannot find them in file manager. I am using a galaxy s2 transfer the files from my pc to the external card. Here are my options for where to store the zip files.
(nvm I can't post links yet)
What I see here is NOT what I see when I use the SD card inside of the Electrify M.
The options available for storing the zip files are not showing up when in the file manager
Interesting.. I would go into fastboot mode and use Matt's Utility to reset the phone to stock and get your OS back. You should already have the right drivers installed, so start up your phone while holding the down volume key to get into fastboot mode, load up the utility and select the first option.
Then I would flash a newer version of TWRP and see if your file browsing issues persist, I'm using twrp 2.5.0.0. Or you could also opt to flash the CWM recovery instead, and see if that fixes your problem. I have used both of these recoveries and never had an issue finding the zips on my external sd.
Another option would be to give Safestrap a try, it will ensure you don't lose your default OS again. Safestrap will let you set up a custom rom installation alongside your stock rom, keeping it perfectly intact.
Fixed it gents. I reformatted my sd card and stuck it in the android folder that was created. I then mounted the external through twrp and found it instantly. My assumption is the problem was user error related. I now have cm10 installed and have my gapps working, but I don't have bluetooth or 4g functionality. Should I make a new thread regarding these problems?
I haven't tried CM10, but honestly I would just try another one(maybe CM10.1 would fix your problems). I'm not big into fixing issues with my roms, I just find one that works and stick with it.
There might be a solution for your problems, and yeah another thread would be the way to go to get more visibility on it, but personally I would just go for Carbon or AOKP or SlimROM, or one of the other options. I have tried out the three I just mentioned, and have had 4G and bluetooth working with each(except Bluetooth on Carbon, I never tested it out but I assume it works)
I wish I could help you more but I just don't know enough to troubleshoot those kind of issues.
Hi everyone,
I just received my brand new TN7. I rooted and installed CWM by using Pac's Super Tool and made some backups (and restore) of my differents mods.
Till then everything is ok exept when I tried to save my backups to my PC.
I think I looked everywhere on SD0 and SD1 but no traces of my backups. Where are they?
I'm not so new on android (Phones, tablets, other devices,...) and on each device the backups were visible on SD0/SD1.
Someone can explain me where to find them?
Hello.Tegra note is mounted as media device mtp or camera ptp,thats why you dont see all files when looking thru pc(device connected to pc).Copy backups to sd card in tablet and insert card to pc.I think your backups are on internal storage(main storage) in cwm folder.

I use ES-Explorer (in root mode) on my tablet and I see no folder containing cwm backups. Does it use a special mount?
Hello.try using root explorer.mnt-sdcard-cwm.
Happy new year everyone!
After removing MultiROM using the uninstall method and also flashing uninstall .zip file in recovery the phone stopped booting the OS. I think some MultiROM leftovers messed the boot process. Flashed the boot.img and recovery.img, than the TWRP recovery again, but nothing worked. Wiped dalvik, cache, system partitions and flashed a stock 5.0.1 zip file and the boot problem was solved.
The issue now is that I cannot see any files on SD Card neither on phone or windows explorer. I however am able to see all the files from the TWRP file manager. After reading some forums I think I have to force some rescan of the SD card or something like that. I tried using apps like SD Rescan, but nothing has fixed the issue.
Root Explorer shows 6GB used and 6GB free although the SD card appears empty. Disc Usage app shows that I have 4GB "System data"which is the files that I have on the SD card.
I got the files using recovery and may try to format the data partition, but don't know if it will work. So any ideas that will spare me from that exercise are very appreciated.
