[Q] clockworkmod looking in wrong file to flash from

[steineronie]

Hi, I have clockwork mod 4.0.0.4 and I was trying to flash a rom from it. I went to install zip from SD card and then it brought me to the SD card directory, but for some reason my internal memory is renamed to SD card and my external SD card is named external 1, so instead of bringing me to the directory with all of the files that are on the sd card it brings me to the directory with all of the internal memory files. How to I flash a rom if I can't get to the right directory from clockwork mod?

Hi,
With CWM, it will only allow you to flash from your Internal SDcard only. Option 1, move your files that you would like to flash - to the Internal SDcard Directory, or If you would like the option to flash from either the External or Internal you can use the CWM Rogue Recovery.

Thanks. Its weird because I thought I flashed zips from the external SD card before. I thought that you should put all of the fies that you are going to flash on the external SD card just in case something happens to the internal memory. Or if you do a factory data reset then it will get erased and you won't have the file to flash.

LOL, it is good practice to copy the files to your external (if you have the space). I keep a copy of my needed .zips in a folder on my PC. Rooted - If you do a Factory Data Reset from CWM, all of your files will remain in tact.

As Always If This Was Helpful - Hit The Thanks!

Actually, it depends on the version you have installed. Solarnz' R4c v 3.2.0.0 custom recovery flashes from the external sdcard. Version 4.0.0.4 from Rom Manager only flashes from the internal "sdcard " and rogue recovery can flash from either.

True, there are other options; however he and I were referring to his current version 4.0.0.4.
and wanting the ability to flash from both the External and Internal
SDcards.
