Hi Guys,
Is there a guide for TWRP for MiUI stable 10?
I keep getting the encrypted error and sideloading not working.
Thanks.
You can just ignore that by pressing "Cancel". And yes, you'll see internal storage size is 0. But it doesn't matter, and you can still install your .zip file.

I will try it. Thank you.
First upload the Magisk file to my phone? What's the best folder to put it in?

The internal storage size is 0, so I put .zip files in USB drive and install them by OTG.

This question may have been answered before but I just cant find it here.
I tried rooting my vibrant with the classic method described here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479&highlight=issues+rooting+vibrant
It didn’t work and I got the following message:
E: can’t open /sd card/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted
I copied the update.zip file in DCIM of internal memory card and was still getting the same message.
I copied the update.zip file into my sd card and still got the same message.
I followed the steps exactly as they have been described in the rooting thread.
I haven't tried the one click root method yet.
Would anyone know what seems to be the problem.
Thanks.
You have to replace the update.zip file and flash it with recovery.

Are you saying I have to replace with a new update.zip file and repeat the method again?
I was doing it in recovery mode.
Use the one click method. You can find all the info on unlockr.com in the--how to -- (they have a nice video) If it doesn't work then you will need to flash back the T959UVJFD stock through Odin. Look in the bible or search in this website.
Why is your update.zip in DCIM? Download that one from the forum post, rename it to update.zip, and copy it to the root directory of your sd card.
Yea replace the update.zip with a modified one that gives you root access. Its should be on the bible(stickie post) and Recovery mode is correct.

Can you explain what is the root directory of internal sd card where I need to place the update.zip file?

Now my computer isn't recognizing the phone when I mount the sd card. It tries to install drivers for the phone and can not.
Ok, by root directory they just mean the internal 16gb memory.
Ok look, download update.zip. Rename it to "update" without the quotation marks. If you are running windows 7 you dont have to add ".zip" windows knows it is a .zip file, so again just name it update and windows and your phone will automatically know it is update.zip. maybe the problem is you are naming it "update.zip" and your phone is reading it as "update.zip.zip"
Anyways, I don't know why your drivers don't work, but once you get your computer to recognize your phone. Mount your phone to your computer.
Then go to your internal memory, the 16gb one, not the external sd card.
Now, DON'T GO INTO any folders, the root is just the internal memory, again don't go into any folders. Place the "update" file into the internal memory, don't place it into any folder.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode, and then reinstall packages.
good luck.

Nevermind. But thanks alot for your response and help. After looking around to find some alternative ways to root..I finally was able to root my vibrant using the method described
HERE
In the end, rooting was as easy as installing a simple app.
Now im going to do some research on ROMs and hopefully flash before doing titanium backup.

Ok, make sure you do lots of research. Read the bible, every last word of it.
Don't ever try to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 without having the proper 2.1 kernal, becareful with lagfix such as voodoo, and learn odin.
good luck
I have run into another issue. I can not mount my phone to computer.
With USB Debugging off... I dont even get a notification in the slide down menu asking me to either mount/unmount.
With USB Debugging on... I do get the option in slidedown menu to mount my phone. At the same time the computer shows a pop up message asking me to install driver software for Samsung_Android. In the meantime , I press mount sd card which by the way is still not recognized by the computer.
I dont have the driver for samsung_android to install on the computer.
Does anyone know a potential fix for this situation.
Thanks.
After having formatted my internal sdcard, I'm unable to flash any rom. I've installed cwm revorery and would like to push a rom to the sdcard in order to be able to flash it, because right now theres nothing on my card (its totally formatted without any system on it).
When i try to push a file via toolkit to the internal sdcard there appears the following error message:
- exec ' /system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Can anybody help me out with this issue?
It looks like the error is saying it is missing a file in /system/bin/, which makes sense since internal storage is completely wiped.
Just start a command prompt in Windows and change directory to where adb.exe is in the android sdk. Then copy the ROM you want to install into the same directory as adb. Use the command "adb push blahblahblah.zip" to push the ROM from your PC to the internal storage. Obviously replacing blahblahblah.zip with whatever the ROM filename is.
Toolkit's can be handy, but before you use one you need to know how to unlock your phone and copy files to/from your device without a toolkit. So that way when problems arise you know what probably went wrong and how to fix it.
Probably not really helpful, but I was able to push files to /sdcard when I wiped all options and formatted Data with TWRP.
Same problem here
Please help us. I accidentally did the same. Now I can't copy file to the device. CWM is still functioning but there is nothing left to flash.

Just flash TWRP recovery via Fastboot then mount the SD card as USB storage. Once you have done this you can copy a new Rom over and flash it.
Thanks for your quick reply!

You're right! I've learned that by wasting hours..
How do I change directory to where adb.exe is? what is android sdk? I'd be very happy if you could explain me some of the steps to achieve that or lead me to a tutorial where I can learn it.
Thanks again!

Would you mind telling me how to flash twrp recovery via fastboot?
Thx in advance!

Also:
Once you are in a ROM again, download GooManager and look on Google for the easy steps to flashing TeamWinRecoveryProject.
Thank you so much EniGmA1987!! This is awesome!
It finally worked out for me! BIG THANKS!
Your welcome
Was it easy enough even without the use of a toolkit?
Your tutorial is very clear and easy to understand. I followed all the steps, but still couldn't find the pushed ROM on my SD card (after having waited for about 5 minutes). So I mounted all you can with cwm and used the toolkit - and it worked! Probably it was the directory that was set right after having followed your tutorial. Thanks again!!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount
Noting:
StickMount can utilize the "ntfs-3g" and "mount.exfat-fuse" binaries to add support for ntfs (untested) and exfat, but these are not included. If you place the "ntfs-3g" or "mount.exfat-fuse" files in the root of your internal storage ( /sdcard ), StickMount will automatically use them.
You can find the needed files here:

Yep. I saved both zip's, extracted them (no overwrites occurred), then copied to the root of my sdcard (not root of system).

When you say sdcard are you referring to the card which is attached to otg cable. Also when I downloaded files they over write each other because both zips have the same name and same files inside I downloaded from the link on playstore.

Hey man trying to help you but you have to help yourself a little .
1. Look above, it says, "place the "ntfs-3g" or "mount.exfat-fuse" files in the root of your internal storage ( /sdcard)"
--> This means it's not needed on the external storage device you're pluggin in of course.
2. Both zips have different files. The link from the play store is the same link I posted (for your convenience) above.
3. Wrapping this up: save ntfs-3g-only.zip & fuse-exfat-exfat-utils-0.9.5-static-binaries.zip to where locally.
--> Extract each one to the same directory (again they won't overwrite as attached).
--> Go to the root of your sdcard on your INTERNAL PHONE storage. (hint: this is the same root/top-level folder you get with MTP when you go to browse Internal Storage from say a Windows PC.
4. You can do it, I belive in you. Just do some trial and error if everything (you can't hurt anything if you're still not exactly sure where to copy the EXTRACTED 2 zip files to (hint: 6 to copy in total).
5. Please tell me you're rooted so you have permissions to let stickmount pro do it's thing. If not I'm sure you can figure it out from the above w/ a little elbow grease.
:good: :highfive::victory:
6. If you read this far then you're trying so I attached a picture so you know I'm trying to help . The rest is up to you my friend and please let me know when you get it working. (last tip is try ES Explorer if after mounting in StickMount if you need a quick free browser).

I had already done this but I wasn't sure which root memory required the files. so I left the zip files in both external storage and internal storage extracted and without extracting the reason for asking was so I can clean up the double files from the places where it isn't needed. I appreciate your help. And yes I'm rooted running DU Rom since test builds lol
Also it doesn't matter where you put files on internal or external I tried both and it works. However I get a pop up which says it's not compatible and I should format but I ignore this message as it still works.

You can boot into download mode flash the stock kdz file in lgup to go back to stock.
Im using stock unlocked now because I can't install anything
You can also try adb sideload.

No cause you have to format data to remove encryption to flash the decrypt zip and once you format data the zip will be deleted from internal storage

While the use of a memory is usefull but you don't need one.
After you format data in twrp and reboot straight back into twrp you can then transfer your files from PC to phone.

MTP on twrp should be enabled by default if not you can turn this on in twrp.
Just use a file explorer on PC to read phone it should read as an external drive
Another option it to use ADB commands to copy files across.
