I recently had to revert back to stock so my internal memory was wiped. I wiped everything in CWR in preparation for a ROM, but I forgot to add that ROM back to the memory. How do I place a zip through fastboot to the internal memory?
Thank you!

Go to recovery, mounts and storage, mount USB storage and it will show in your computer.
Drag and drop.

You don't have mounts and storage option in cwm?
Or you don't have mount USB storage?
I just checked and I have it.
If you can't mount the storage then chances are you will have to flash stock images via fastboot.
Do you have the Android SDK package? If so you can adb push it to your sdcard.
Could also try Droid Explorer, QTadb, et al, although I've never used those particular programs.

you should have it..try with volume down to see it (even if u are on the touch version)
EDIT: it seems removed since it doesn't work with the GN..the gn only work with the MTP and not with the usb mass storage..the same for the non-touch cwm, even if the option is there, it does not work

It's fairly straight forward.
Easiest to place the ROM in the platform-tools folder, that way you don't have to type or copy/paste a long convoluted file path.
Open command prompt within platform-tools and type (don't type quotes):
"adb devices" (this will tell you if it's seeing your phone, not a necessary step)
"adb push ROMFileName.zip /sdcard/" (don't forget the file extension .zip)
It won't work if there happen to be spaces in the file name, so edit the name before hand if necessary.

I had to become familiar with adb when running the SGS2 on CM9, kernel sources weren't out so MTP was broken, and adb was the easiest option for me.

I haven't used it since I had my Sony Ericsson x8, got the nexus S after that and just used fastboot after that to flash cwm and that to flash a rooted rom so I never really needed it!
Time to brush up on my adb skills I think!
updating adb drivers now
Ugh, disregard, perhaps I was smoking crack, or I have different drivers on my home PC. No luck from my work PC at the moment.
Edit: you have to mount /data, but if you're not seeing mounts and storage that's an issue. I'm confused as to why they're not there.
Not having mounts and storage in cwm is quite strange.
If adb won't recognise the device then maybe try fastboot flash another recovery and see if it has mounts and storage.

I am trying to wipe my virtual SD card on my LTE Galaxy Nexus and it is acting weird.
If I do a factory reset via the settings on the phone, it says it erases all of the files on the SD card. When I hook the phone up to my computer and view the files in explorer, it shows a stock directory structure and root. However, if I try and copy over a file that existed on the SD card before formatting, it says the file is already there and asks me if I want to replace it. If I view the SD card in root explorer, it shows all of the old folders and files, even though they dont show up in windows explorer. Also, if I boot into Clockwork and choose a .zip to flash, it shows all of the old folders and files as well.
I have tried using the super wipe lite script that comes with Android revolution. I have also factory reset the phone a few times via the settings. I previously had Android Revolution installed and I am currently running GummyNex 0.4.2.
No matter what I do, I cannot for the life of me get the SD card to truly reformat.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there an ADB command I can do to reformat it?

There isn't any "SD Card" partition.
EDIT: Format /data cannot be done in adb, if you really want to do so just make a CWMR flashable zip with
Code:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/userdata", "0");
in the updater-script.
I'm sorry man, I really appreciate the help but my Google-fu has failed me. Is there a template or something I can create the script from?

If you are having an issue finding your files from your PC it's due to the way Android exposes your "internal sdcard" via MTP. Download an app from the Market called SDrescan which will force the media services on your phone to re-index your files on the phone. Then they will show up on your PC.
thanks, but i've already tried that. it just sits on "scanning" for literally hours (i left it up overnight once just to make sure). any other advice?

I do not recommend doing this indeed. To be failsafe just delete everything in the /sdcard folder with an explorer app.
I use
fastboot /w
To do a full wipe. This will wipe /sdcard.

Are you on a ROM and/or modified kernel? If you are using Franco's kernel he has made modifications to how the "sdcard" works.

Hi!
My problem is that i flashed a mod and my phone went crazy, so i booted back to cwm.
But i can't use "mount USB storage". Is says "unable to open ums lunfile ( no such file or directory). Got cwm 5.5.0.2, So how can i send files to my phone?
P.S I forgot to make a backup so i can't restore :/ and i can't boot into cwm from the phone. I must connect it to my pc and open Galaxy Nexus ToolKit and launch it from there?
You can't mount USB storage in cwm because the phone does not support USB mass storage. You can push files in cwm using ADB.

Okay so i have CWM and i had backups or so i thought i did. I was using cyanogenmod 9 then tried out AOKP well didnt care for it so i was going to access my last backup and after wiping everything on my Galaxy Nexus i went into recovery mode and tried to install my back up. When i did that it said nothing was found SOOOOO now i have nothing and im stuck in recovery mode. I tried to "mount USB storage" so i can put a ZIP on there but i get the well know message of "Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)" Does anyone know of how i can get into my phones SDcard on my mac so i can put a ROM on there to flash. Yes i knew so if you start saying MTP and ADP i do not know what that means im sorry. PLEASE HELP!
Do you have ADB set up?
If so you can ADB push a rom.zip to your SD card and flash it.
Edit:
Actually...just flash any available ROM.
Even one you didn't like.
At least then you can boot up and access your SD card.
See thats the thing i thought i could do from my back ups so i didnt put any new ROM on there. And adb i do not know how to do that at all so im assuming no i dont
Hi guys,
i made quiet a mistake, i cancelled all contents of my SD card under TWRP, wiped system and i'm now left with no rom on the phone nor on the SD card.How can i make my laptop see my sd card under TWRP in order to tranfer a rom and install it ?
seems when i press on Mount sd card nothing happens..
thanks

you need to use adb.
mounting the sdcard does nothing on the nexus as there is no mass storage

You really need to READ. Use a translator if you can't.
from the thread Zepius linked you:
What is the Android SDK and do I need it?
SDK stands for "software development kit. Do you need it? If you are developing, then yes (but then you probably would be reading this thread now would you... ). If you are not developing, then no, you do NOT need to install it. It is just a waste of space. The only files you need (to interface with your PC) that comes from the SDK are the fastboot and adb files, and they can be found here for Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

I assume the old kindle mounts as usb mass storage. The new kindles mount as mtp. You must manually mount the mtp drive in ubuntu. Windows should automatically mount mtp.

Wouldn't it be easier to just take memory card out and use a card reader to put a rom straight onto the memory card. Think that should work

If your using cwm. Make a folder on your sd card like this
Clockworkmod/backup/ then copy and paste your file in there.. reboot to recovery and choose restore from external. You may need to do a full wipe if its an older backup.

Read through that. It's basically an interface for you to plug your phone via USB to your computer and pass commands to it (and read info). By running ADB logcat, you can then see what's going on in your phone, in real time.
Doing so, you should be able to find out (or at least paste here) what errors are occurring.
It's a sensible first step, before resorting to wiping or imaging.
