[Q] Use clockwork with no .zip on sdcard - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am trying to update my gnex to jellybean and in the process of doing so i forgot to put the .zip files on the sdcard. I have a functional cwm in recovery mode but have no files to install. Is my device done since i have no sd card slot or is there a way to transfer the files to the phones internal storage. My pc wont see the phone as an adb but will as a fastboot device. Any suggestions? Please help!

You need to make sure your drivers are set up properly for ADB. Do this by being booted in CWM, and install them on the "Android 1.0" that pops up in Deveice Manager. (Use 1wayjonny's universal driver in the dev section.) Once that is done, move the zip over to you sdcard by typing: adb push <name-of-file>.zip /sdcard

If you have adb setup.
Go into mounts and storage and Mount /data
Then
Code:
adb push nameofrom.zip /data/media
Then unmount /data and you should now see the rom you forgot to put on the phone.

In Cwm try going to mounts and storage > mount usb storage and connect to your pc then transfer the file over.
Maybe that'll work?

If you are on a WiFi you could download the files on your phone...

If you are on a WiFi you could download the files on your phone also you may send it by Bluetooth if your PC has it...
But adb should work too, if correctly set up

Accidentally Formatted SD Card Drive

Hi all,
While in recovery mode, I accidentally formatted my SD card. I lost my backup and everything there.
I could not install from zip because there was no file. I tried moving a zip file into the phone, but my PC can not recognize my phone.
Any ideas on how to transfer a rom to the phone?
Any way of recovering data from the SD card?
Thanks for the help!

you need to adb to push the rom to the phone (assuming you have CWM or TWRP) installed. adb push locationofzip.zip /data/media/
you cannot recover your sd card.
Can you please explain the steps for "adb to push the rom to the phone"
I'm using CWM
Found the steps on XDA. Thanks!

Try the toolkit 9.1. I did the same thing and hook up with PC with toolkit 9.1 boot in recovery mode. then PC can recognize the phone, just flash the image in.
good luck!

Once you booted into recovery mode, were you able to access the Nexus and drag the rom into a folder?
You don't need to. You need copy the rom into the folder of toolkits then flash to the phone.

Yes you can recover your SDCard data

Thank you, this is actually what I resigned myself to do! yet there is a method to transfer files on SD card with a serious fastboot command "adb push c: name of file" / sdcard / but I do not have any SDK installed on my computer, I think I did the wrong driver adb to run this command

transferring file from computer to S3 under CWM Recovery?

Is it possible to do so since I formatted my emmc, I now am trying to find a way to get the cyanogrnmod10 onto my phone since it doesn't boot. is there a way to do so? I can get the phont to see Odin but can't get it to read as a device on my computer under CWM recovery...
Thanks.

Yes , just in CWM go to Mounts and Storage then mount/sdcard or mount/external_sc.
I'm not sure if external card will work. Now connect phone to pc and you should be able to transfer files from PC to phone.

this happened to me last week actually. When I went to settings/storage it only showed up the app storage and not the internal storage.
What I did was a bit extreme and scary, since I only just started flashing roms 2 weeks ago. I did a factory reset and wiped EVERYTHING in recovery including the sdcard and system, then I used an all-in-one toolkit to push the boot image and the rom through adb sideload. I used the following excellent post and flashed twrp recovery, as clockworkmod doesn't support adb sideload, apparently, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
Maybe as a last resort you could do it, it worked for me. but I would wait a day or two to see if someone with a bit more knowledge can suggest anything.
Thank you for you help i can see sd storage the seetings>apps but it only says 468mb is there anything else i do or will have have to wipe and start again??

That 468MB is your app storage partition... (apk)
Mount your usb storage from a custom recovery and backup the whole SD on your pc, then boot into the rom and mount the SD on your PC then restore all the files.
Or simply, move all SD content into the "0" folder or whatever its called in your rom.

How did you sideload the boot.img?
AFAIK you're only able to sideload a .zip-file.

Didn't word that correctly, the toolkit flashed the boot image in fastboot and then pushed the rom through sideload. I don't use toolkits now though, find it much easier using fastboot and adb commands

[Q] Why am I not able to flash Slim Bean?

Hello,
I tried searching but didn't see the thread I was looking for. If this came up before then I apologize in advance for asking again. Please just direct me to thread and I'll be grateful.
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 Tmobile and installed Clockworkmod and installed the recovery and made a backup. I downloaded the Slim Bean rom and gapps and when I booted into recovery and wiped everything and tried to install the file, I wasn't able to. I copied the folder exactly how I downloaded it but when I tried to install it there was nothing to install; it wasn't a zip. Am I suppose to make it into a zip folder first then copy it to the sd card?
If someone can explain to me what I did wrong I would be appreciate it.
Thanks
Check the md5. Maybe it was a corrupted/incomplete download?

Are you copying it onto an actual SD card or the internal SD?
If you're copying it onto the internal then u might be wiping it.
Another option would be to use adb to push the rom zip onto your internal sd card after wiping it.
Code:
adb push /path/to/rom \sdcard

I put it on the actual SD but when that didn't work I tried on the internal. When that didn't work, I downloaded a rom from clockworkmod to see if that would work then once it was installing it failed and said something about google.com apps not working or something to that affect. I'm on a Macbook, not running Windows not sure how to push that through dab.
I'll try again tomorrow to make a backup again then try wiping everything and doing it over. I'll try a new download and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestions.
