Hi guys,

I was partitioning my SD card to install the new EVOlved ROM using the following instructions. I got to step #6 and realized that I don't know how to get the ROM back onto the SDCard from recovery, lol.

How to Flash (If you don't want to partition sd skip to step 5)
1. Back up sd card on computer and make sure you have Amon-RA
2. Go Into recovery and go into Partition sdcard
3. Then Partition SD
4. Then stay in the partition sdcard menu and go to SD:ext2 to ext3. Do that 2-3 times
5. Wipe data/factory/reset, cache, and dalvik cache. or use VR Superwipe or something like that
6. Put rom on sdcard
7. Flash The Rom Like Normal
8. Then boot into heaven

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks in advance!
 
while in recovery go to usb/ms tethering or something like that. That allows you to get into your sd on your phone. Move the files back from your computer to your sd and then flash rom. I got stuck doing the exact same thing.

close....usb/ms toggle
 
Awesome, thanks guys!!

From there I just access it as an external drive?

I've been having a lot of problems lately doing that so I hope this works, hehe. :eek:

it will work...thats how i transfer zip's to my card...so much easier than tryin to do it with your phone on....
 
For some reason I'm not able to access my SD card through the USB cable. I think it may be a problem with the card itself since I've been having this issue over the last week or so.

Is it okay to pull the battery while in recovery? If so, I think I'll run and pick up a new card......

you can just power off in recovery. if not then yes it is safe to pull the battery out so long as you are not in the process of flashing anything.
 
Thanks Ocn!!

In your experience when there is difficulty with the phone communicating with the PC is it generally related to the SD card?
 
it can be (though slightly unusual), but it could also be the cable, the phone, the pc. any anti-virus or even htc sync can all cause communication errors and more. so it is hard to say sometimes.

edit: what size card do you have? can your pc see the contents of your card?

edit:edit: sorry missed a few posts. so it looks like you cant see the card. then it might be your card.
 
@Scot,

I had a heck of a time with getting my sd card in phone recognized by pc for a little while. then it got better, still don't have a lot of confidence in it.

But, do you have an adaptor to put the micro sd into and have a card reader on ur pc? You can do it that way too, just make sure to use windows to unmount it before you yank it out to b safe.
 
You know, several months ago with one of the CM7.0 nightly releases, after a few days, my sd speed dropped to extremely slow speeds, even the point were the file wouldn't completely transfer. I ended up using adb to push the file, which I suppose you could try.

Code: 
adb push FILE /sdcard
something like that perhaps?

Put the lime in the coconut.... do what??? :p
 
Phones plugged in? In a windows prompt (assuming windows here), cd into the directory with adb installed.

From there type "adb push (file name) (file destination)"
where file name is something like "Mik3dB1.zip" and file destination is something like /sdcard/FLASH/ROMS...

catch my drift?

**ADB is required for this >.>
