Can anyone tell me how I can load another ROM onto the SD card without the ability to boot. I wiped all my cache and data, and tried to load GummyNex, but the phone refused to boot. Now I'm stuck in CWM. I tried ODINing the stock system, but I couldn't get my phone to boot into ODIN mode. Now my only option is to find a way to load another ROM and try to install that via CWM. But without an external SD card, I don't see how that' s possible.
Suggestions?

could you just go to the bootloader and use fastboot?

with fastboot. you download the rom to your pc and then use commands for fastboot and it pushes the rom to your phone.

By not loading rom from computer to SD card.
You update the phone from the computer. No transfer of files to the phone.
No SD card is ever involved.
You use fastboot and fastboot only.
(That, or Odin, and that still involves zero SD card)
Fastboot was one of the reasons you got a Nexus. Now is the time to learn how to use it.

The fastboot-windows.exe file is in the GNex Toolkit... if you've actually read post #2 that was linked earlier, you'd see that explained very clearly.
You need the fastboot-windows.exe (assuming you're in Windows) in the same folder as your toro files.
I believe the entry in post #2 of "Q. How do I Update to the latest Google Stock Rom?" should be plenty of step by step for you.
This will put you back on a stock rom. From there, you should be able to easily copy the zip file for whatever rom you want onto the phone.

if you had read the links, you should've used your brain to figure it out....
im sorry for trying to help you. you're on your own now.
What the other uses are instructing you to do is correct. There are no roms compatible with flashing via fastboot to my knowledge. You will need to flash back to stock first. Then you can boot into your phone and download or copy the rom zip to your phone to flash via cwm.
But you will most likely need to flash stock first as a step in the process. Unless you had a nandroid backup...

You download the factory image from google for your phone. Then you download android skd (adt-bundle) from google. Install the fastboot drivers from one of the many threads here detailing how to do it. Then you can use the directions here (don't download the images linked in those directions - they are for toro/mysid/cdma variant).

Thanks!!!
Thanks guys! It worked!!!
I used the toolkit btw! Downloaded the stock rom and flashed it!

The problem I encountered must be the worst problem ever! For some reason my nexus reboot randomly and its not just a regular reboot but it reboot as a DEEP FREEZE. So basically once it rebooted, it goes back to a same specific point of time. I can't even delete stuff from the phone, for example if I deleted 1GB of music off my phone, after few second the phone will reboot automatically OR if i reboot the phone myself the 1GB of music would be back in my phone. Like WTH? I am completely lost. I have no idea how it happened, but I know it happened after I installed Paranoid Android AOSP 2.99 beta5. I was fine when flashing Paranoid Android 1,3,4. ALSO I cannot do a factory reset or install a factory rom. It just go back to 4.2.1 AOSP 2.99 beta5...
please guys, if anyone can help me that would be great. If you guys need more explaining please email or PM me. I will be glad to write a whole essay on what you guys need to know to help me out. Thank you

That didn't work either. I tried going back to stock but it didn't do anything, I keep booting into 2.99 beta5. I was able to get into recovery mode but I think that when it load the "Google" boot up screen, that's when it start the deep freeze process. Do you get what I mean though? I can post a video to show you guys what I mean. So like if I wanted to flash another ROM I have to go into recovery, but before getting to recovery, you have to go through the "Google" loading screen correct? Then when I get into recovery to flash, the ROM is not there..

Based on the language used in the OP I think he used a toolkit to root/unlock his Nexus and that's why he knows nothing about his device and how to fix it.
OP- look up fastboot images nexus and follow what you read. Basicly you should download the fastboot images and flash them all in fastboot. Then start from scratch again

I couldn't use the driver from the thread you sent, it says "access denied" and I tried to disable windows signature verification but that didn't work either. So I thought maybe I'll use the driver from Nexus toolkit. I manage to complete all the steps from the instruction to the core except for the driver but it still didn't work. It would not erase the 2.99 beta5 and so I cannot go back to stock. Perhaps I should try to use the driver from the thread but I just don't know how to get pass the signature verification when installing the driver. Assist me if you can please. Thank you

I really have not done anything to my GNex via Windows becuse I am using Ubuntu Linux so I have not experienced installing these drivers on Windows. I also have neither returned my phone to stock before nor used the Nexus toolkit. I am doing everything manually.
I think you are referring to the drivers in this page. If you are using Windows 8 then there are some steps mentioned on how to get pass the driver signature enforcement.
If you are on Windows 7, then look here.
Just to confirm something else because I did not read that you have done it, did you try wiping system, factory reset, cache and dalvik cache from the recovery then install any other flashable zip of a ROM on your sdcard (if you have) and still nothing is erased and you are stuck on the same ROM?

Yes, I have but that didn't seem to work either. I put a flashable ROM into the internal memory when it was rebooted, when I tried to go into recovery the file is not there anymore. Its because the phone erases everything that was placed into the internal during the Google reboot process. I even tried using the nexus toolkit to flash a stock ROM, the procedure went through successfully but it still loads 2.99 beta5.
I will try to post a video as soon as I buy a webcam.. But a webcam is cheaper than a nexus phone right now so I don't mind. lol

You may try to boot into recovery then use "adb push" to send the file to your sdcard from your computer. If the file is sent successfully, then you can find it in the recovery and install it thus escape the reboot problem.
Hope this works!

Was there any progress of pushing the file then it did not appear in your recovery or it did not show any progress at all of being pushed?

Thank Goodness im not the only one who has this issue... Bugs the crap outta me lol..
To the OP:
Try this, 1: make sure your an admin on your PC. From the sounds of it you may not be if it said 'access denied'. 2: Plug your nexus in while in the 'device manager' section of windows. 3: Find the new device and delete it. Delete anything that says Android ADB or Android anything or galaxy Nexus or Galaxy phone. Just delete them. Windows will warn you but do it anyways... 4: reboot the pc. 5: Plug your nexus back in, it should either install the device or fail. At that point find and download the newest samsung naked drivers and use the option on windows to install driver from disk and navigate to your unzipped folder.
That is the sure fire way to get it working again. Sorry to say if you still have driver issues then your doing something wrong. Do alot of reading and the answer will show itself.
1. Can you boot your phone into fastboot mode?
2. If so, once in fastboot mode, what happens when you connect the phone to the computer?
It is very very difficult to brick a nexus, so don't worry... .

I unlocked and rooted my phone just fine. I had CM10 zip on my SD, but I can't find it on my device to install it. I must have erased it along with my OS. I never wiped my internal storage so I have no idea what happened. Is there anyway I can get the zip back on the internal storage through TWRP? The device won't even reboot because there's no OS.

Is that the only way I can make my phone work? See the I can turn it on and put it into Recovery but it won't go anywhere else other than that... yeah i should have made a back-up but I never do and i never realized i would make a careless mistake. Please help as I now have no phone to use!

Don't use ODIN unless you have to. You seem to have a custom recovery, this usually offers the ADB interface. So, boot into recovery, use adb to push a ROM of your choice to the /sdcard/ and flash away.

Don't use sideloading. You want to use adb push to send a ROM.zip to your /sdcard/. You already have a custom recovery, so you just need
- adb on your PC
- a ROM.zip to push
How to use adb and how to get it, is explained in Efrant's 101 & FAQ.

Hi,
Try this toolkit; toolkit will help you flash stock rom / unlock / boot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614827
Or else you can always try to flash stock images.
Download a ROM boot into recovery and adb push to /sdcard flash profit. Or you can also mount the SD card in twrp. You're really not in a sticky situation you should be able to fix this in little time.
Another easy way is if you have USB OTG cable(very cheap... Got mine for $4) you can throw a ROM&gapps zip onto flash drive and should be able to flash via recovery from that.
No need to freak out buddy, whether you wanna setup SDK on ya PC to easily use fastboot & adb to restore device or even push/sideload zips, or use toolkit, there is tons if options.
Did you wipe ALL /data im guessing? Instead of factory reset which leaves your /sdcard(aka /data/media) untouched? And also wiped /system?
I've been there. Haha many of us prolly have. You'll be up and running again in no time! Dont fret!

Why go thru that when you can just sideload right now?
i ran into this issue again as well. I have nandroids on my phone, but when I wiped data, the rom I was going to flash didn't get put on from my computer. I sideloaded through adb to /data/media/0 and it pushed fine, but still won't show up in my install section of TWRP, only the file manager in advanced. Anyone else have problems sideloading with TWRP?

i ran into this issue again as well. I have nandroids on my phone, but when I wiped data, the rom I was going to flash didn't get put on from my computer. I sideloaded through adb to /data/media/0 and it pushed fine, but still won't show up in my install section of TWRP, only the file manager in advanced. Anyone else have problems sideloading with TWRP?

Why bother pushing it first? Isn't there a dedicated sideload option in the Advanced section of TWRP?

I never even noticed that. But how does the sideload work? When I click on it, it asks if I want to wipe either or both dalvik and cache, and says swipe to start sideload. after you swipe you just use adb sideload filename.zip and that's it?

Yup. First start the sideload on your phone, then connect it to a computer with working adb (should be easy). After that, open a command prompt window and execute "adb sideload your-rom-name-and-position.zip". Your ROM should then be pushed to the root of storage and flashed.

Another easy way is if you have USB OTG cable(very cheap... Got mine for $4) you can throw a ROM&gapps zip onto flash drive and should be able to flash via recovery from that.

Is 4ext even available for Gnex?
Why go thru that when you can just sideload right now?
