[Q] How to adb push a zip ROM through cwm recovery?

Hi guys
I would like to know how i can push a zip ROM through cwm recovery to my Gnex because i have a problem, my phone dont want boot and only i can see fastboot mode and Recovery mode and i dont have a nand backup or a ROM file on my SD memory to flash and fix this problem, someone can help me with this??

Adb push nameofROM.zip /sdcard/ nameofROM.zip
I also believe you have to go to Mounts and Storage and unmount system in CWM beforehand.
Someone double check me but I wouldn't remember it fully unless I had to do it again.
Had to learn how to do this myself recently.

thanks but i need more information about this not help me at all.

Connect your phone to your pc,open CMD and use the code below:
adb push {file path} /sdcard/｛file path｝

Use my guide.
Particularly post 1 to set ADB up if you haven't.
And post 3 (panic section) for this exact scenario.

Had to do this recently.
In mounts and storage mount /data
Then
Adb push ROM.zip /data/media
Then unmount and it should be there on the root of your "sdcard"

Hi, my phone seems not to be detected by my computer.
I'm sick of this boot loop after trying to install ARHD 12...
I can still go into HBOOT menu etc.
Please I need your help, commands like "fastboot getvar cid" aren't working. I just get a message saying 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command
Thank you...

Forgot to transfer ROM

I tried to root my Nexus to get Jellybean...all went well till I realized I forgot to get the ROM onto the phone.
I made a backup onto the computer but didn't do it after I booted into clockwork mod. I wiped the cache etc. and installed the Gapps and that is when I realised the ROM wasn't on the phone. My phone wont connect to the computer and the only backup I have is on my computer.
Is there a way to get the stock ICS on the phone or somehow get the JB ROM onto my phone?

Not an expert, but fastboot and flash stock???

If your phone is recognized by the PC, push the ROM with ADB. You can then flash it.
Code:
adb push rom-file.zip /sdcard/
Alternatively if you just want to return to stock, flash the images via fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Phone is not recognized by the computer. It tries to install the driver then says it can't.

adb push it.
You can adb push from a custom recovery (CWM)

I can't find the AndroidSDK folder on my computer at all...
edit-
downloaded and installed Android SDK.
edit-
got to cmd....I get to the point where I need to adb push but I get this message: 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
and on cwm, I can't toggle the /sdcard to unmount. It stays on mount.

You need to be in the sdk folder where the adb.exe is located, and the file you want to push must be in the same folder aswell.

Open the directory where you put the adb.exe file. Shift+Right Click the blank screen. Click Run Command Prompt Here. Now you should be able to use adb and all its commands when your phone is in recovery mode and connected to computer. Just to make sure, you can always do "adb devices" to check it the phone is recognized.
Also make sure that the ROM you want to transfer is in the same directory as adb.exe.
After you've done that, do "adb push NAME OF THE ROM.zip /sdcard/"
Now use CWM to flash that zip file and you're good to go.

Thanks everyone! Got it working!
Definitely made my heartdrop before haha but man I learned a lot haha again, Thanks!:good:

Need Help ASAP

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
The run down. My phone is bootloader unlocked rooted etc. already flashed xenon rom and everything was great. (Just got the device today)
Ok so here's the trouble i'm in. I decided I wanted to try another rom so i boot into clockwork recovery wipe system,data cache etc. suddenly all my files dont exist.
I have no back up file (my stupidity). I can still get into fastboot, clockwork etc, but it does not recognize a sd card on the device.
i tried loading up Samnsung Toolkit v7.8.0 and all i see in the top menu is
fastboot-toolkit is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
adb-toolkit is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
this is what worries me. I plug the device in on my windows computer it recognizes something no sd card.. currently downloading factory images
BUT WHAT DO I DO?!!!! pls help and pls do not flame me etc. All I'm asking is simple help thanks

A. Do not use toolkit. Unless you know how to solve things manually
B. Google how to setup adb and fastboot.
C. "adb push NAME_OF_ROM.zip /sdcard/" while on custom recovery
D. Flash that ROM

also when tryin to access card via clockwork it states it cannot located directory...its like my sdcard does not exist

There is no sdcard on the gNex. As long as data is mounted you should be good

1st of all, Gnex doesn't have SDcard, therefore, you can't mount it. You can only use adb to push and pull files on recovery
2nd, are you sure you got proper driver? Do you actually have the ROM.zip on the same directory as adb.exe? If not, you need to do that. Also, if /sdcard/ doesn't work, /storage/sdcard0/ should work. It's a same directory. Just in different name for some reason.

- open windows device manager
- boot into CWM (it provides the ADB interface) and connect USB cable
- you should see your device being added to the list in device manager
- make sure you have the correct ADB driver installed, update if needed (use the naked driver v0.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875)
- push a ROM to /sdcard using adb push
- flash ROM via CWM

Thank you for your reply
under device manager i do see my gnex but it has a yellow exclamation mark. i have deleted it and when i go to browse for the driver (the naked driver) i cannot find it under downloads...? so no driver is installed...

[please note I don't use an english windows version, I freely translated things, so don't expect to find exactly the mentioned caption on things in your Window]
first of all, don't worry, just did that 5 minutes ago
- Get the drivers (verizon version) for the galaxy nexus from the samsung website
- boot to recovery mode, go to device manager, select update driver - search for drivers on computer - select from a list of drivers on the computer, then select SAMSUNG Android Phone, then the latest one (just check their date) from the ADB drivers, ignore the warning that the driver maybe won't match - it does. That's it, now ADB will work.
Then in recovery do something like adb push myupdate.zip /sdcard/ to get somethinf on your SD card.
Edit:
link to driver download:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW then go to manuals & downloads -> software

The yellow exclamation mark is the reason why ADB doesn't see your device. As for the driver, it is attached to the post I linked to. Download & unzip, then update the driver.

I got the drivers installed and adb now recognizes my device. I have gone into the Android folder all the way into the platform-tools subfolder where the actual rom zip i am trying to push is at. I opened cmd prompt and typed in "adb push romname.zip /sdcard/" which it then pushed onto my phone im assuming because it told me the data total and transfer rate /s.
Although now when i go to CWR i and go to INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD > CHOOSE ZIP FROM SD CARD it tells me there are no files found ?

its as if its not letting me mount the SDCARD, even when i go to hit the mount sd card on CWR it doesnt change it to unmount...? man im lost

do this:
a) either try
Code:
adb push rom.zip /data/media
b) or
- in recovery, go to install from sdcard, choose from sdcard;
- connect device (adb server should already have been started);
- push file again, either to /sdcard/, or /data/media/
- back out of "choose from sdcard" screen, and enter it again. the file you just transfered will be there.
i use the b) method when a) is not working, somehow it works.
note: you dont need to explicitly mount /sdcard. adb has full access to your device while on a custom recovery.

thanks to all whom chimed in and helped me out.
Option A) got it done, i guess the /data/media pushed it through. i see it in CWR now. Thanks a alot, i thought i was gonna have to go ODIN on my Nex.
THANK YOU GUYS. man, another android saved LOL THANK YOU

you never have to use odin if you can get into the bootloader.

Thanks Petrovski80 ! I had softbricked my GNex and could not transfer anything into it. I was on TWRP. Flashed Clockwork through fastboot and used GNex Toolkit to push files into the phone.

Need help with restoring my Note 2

I was doing a factory reset on my Rogers Note 2, and I accidentally wiped the internal storage. So my phone now just stays at the Samsung logo, I have TWRP 2.6.3 I believe, and it says I have no OS installed. So im trying to copy a Rom (zip format) to my phone to install. I figured this would solve my problem, but my computer won't read my phone, it install as an adb device, but doesn't show up in my computer. So I installed the Samsung Galaxy Toolkit, latest version, went through the setup and installed the drivers. When I try to push files to my phone, it says it is waiting for USB debugging to be enabled. I have no idea how to use this, as I've only seen this option in the Android itself. Could anyone help me out on how to copy over a file to my phone so I can reinstall it and get my phone working again, it would be greatly appreciated

Do you have an external sdcard in the phone? If so can you take it out and put into an sdcard reader and plug it int your PC. Then it will show up as a Drive.
If not.....
Do you have just adb.exe by itself ? No?
Download here ... http://androidarea51.com/downloads/adb.zip
Unzip to a directory where you can find it/ Like c:\adb
Reboot your phone into TWRP recovery. Put in down, do not touch it.
Go to a command prompt, cd c:\adb (or wherever you unzipped adb.zip)
type adb push whatevertheromnameis.zip /sdcard/romname.zip
Pick up phone, click install and choose file to install from sdcard
Should work fine.

Hey thanks for the reply, I had nothing to put the sd card into, and pushing the zip didnt work. I ended up installing the zip from adb with the samsung galaxy toolkit and that worked. Thanks for your help, I have another question, could you point me in the right direction on how to upgrade my note 2 to 4.3?
