Mounting SD card in CWM to PC - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I think I am SOL, but I wanted to ask you guys first.
My Nexus wont boot past the Google screen all of a sudden today. So I am going to attempt the toolkit version of returning to stock later. But before I do that, I want to try and salvage my pictures from the internal memory.
Is there a way to mount the internal storage to my PC so I can pull the files off?
I thought not having an SD card was no big deal, til now when im about to lose 500+ pictures.
Am I screwed?
Thanks

You can adb pull the dcim folder to your PC.
Edit: You would also be better served in the long run learning to return to stock yourself instead of using a toolkit.

Thanks for the link on the

It's not too complicated. It is a lot of steps but a developer novice can follow the instructions to install and use adb just to pull a few files. Also that's one reason why I let dropbox sync my photos as I take them, so if something happens I have an auto cloud backup.

So I found a tutorial for setting up ADB for the nexus, but all i can get into is the bootloader and the recovery. I cant get my computer to recognize my phone...even though its plugged in. So how would ADB work?

If you have a custom recovery you should be able to get adb access. You just need to set up the drivers
I believe the previous link I gave even has a small platform-tools download so you wouldn't have to set up the sdk.

So when i go into device manager I have Android 1.0 listed under other devices. But when i try to have windows search for drivers, it doesnt find anything. Is ther a specific driver from samsung that I can download somewhere and then point the driver update to it?

Stuck in recovery with no Rom

To make it short, I got downloaded a corrupted ROM (only one on the phone), and with no nandroid. Is there any other way to access my "sd" card on my phone to put another ROM in? Is flashing a stock img the only way to get it back to work without losing my pictures? Thanks..
If its recognized by the computer, just "adb push" the ROM file (and anything else you need) to your phone.

This.
Problem sorted.
Thanks for the suggestion, but can you provide some commands to push this file through adb?
if you are not familiar with adb commands, use Android Commander. Saves alot of time.
I'm a bit more familiar with adb, it's just need the to be directed to the right path with the specific command to push a rom to my phone. Does anyone know?
i tried
adb push "filename"/sdcard/"filename" but it's not giving me any response.

Is your ROM file in the Android>Platform Tools folder?
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
You need the extension (.zip) as well.
Edit: does adb devices indicate you're connected?

you just need:
Code:
adb push ROMname.zip /sdcard/
Assuming you put "ROMname.zip" in your platform-tools folder, or another folder you're running ADB out of.
Keep in mind, not any response, aka, just hanging, means it is still working. ADB transfers are slow, so big files will take a little bit.
Nevermind.

Pushing ROM using ADB! Help!

Alright so I was an idiot and wiped data and internal storage...I figured I could just mount the phone like I could my Thunderbolt, but apparently not. I have adb installed and currently been going to platform-tools folder and opening command window...type adb devices and it shows my device in recovery...which is good. However as soon as I try to do "adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\baldwinguy77_toro_aosp_011913-120824-signed.zip" and it doesn't do anything and just scrolls through all the available commands you can do...I have tried multiple variations of that and nothing seems to work. Help me please, as I need my phone working and I have been trying to figure this out for about an hour now.

[Q] My stock HTC one X (HTC_001) keeps rebooting...

Desperately needs help here, and I've looked through a lot of different threads & forums...most bootloop problems are caused by custom roms...
Got my phone online from UK, I live in Canada, been using it since June 2012...everything was fine...until last week or so...
My phone all of a sudden start rebooting itself non-stop. It makes it to the home screen, but after 5-10 seconds, it starts re-booting until battery dies...I did not unlock my phone, nor tamper it in any way....
tried to perform a recovery, failed
tried to perform a factory reset, failed
the only way to turn the phone off and charge it is to go into fastboot and select "power down"
is there any way to solve this problem?? I just want my phone back and function properly.
I've attached some pictures showing software information...don't know if that helps.....:crying:
even just taking pics of software info already restarted twice on me....
please help...
I say warranty, the bootloader has never been unlocked. If you unlock it now and flash roms your warranty will be voided !
Even that you bought it second hand, there is a 2 year factory warranty.....
since warranty was mentioned...i decided to call HTC....
and the tech support guy told me to download this android.process.acore fix on their support website, and follow the instructions...
but since my phone keeps rebooting every 10 seconds after it reaches to the home screen...
How can I install that apk file manually? I would greatly appreciate anyone's help...
It could be pushed with adb commands, but i don't know how that works.....i am a noob with adb
Or tell them to give proper service and not ditch you with a non working solution for you :banghead:

i think it can be done
your phone boots to the locksrcreen, and from that point it does not reboot ? you can leave it there and connect the cable to the laptop. then open a command prompt inside the fastboot/adb folder on the pc
then type
adb install *name of the file.apk
the .apk file has to be in the fastboot/adb folder, otherwise you have to type out the whole location of where the .apk is !

Usb debugging is required for adb.
Do you have time to quickly go to settings -> developer options -> usb debugging and enable it. Then adb should work and the setting persist through reboots.

Once i plugged in the usb cable, USB debugging enabled automatically.
so I did exactly what you told me....but not quite sure if it's correct....
i got an error message
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
i attached a picture of it...when i type fastboot devices...it did find my phone though....
I couldn't remember if I could ever use adb commands while in the bootloader. I tried recently to push an APK file using adb and absolutely could not do it while in fastboot or in the bootloader.
Here's how I eventually got around it:
ADB has a nifty command script that allows it to wait for the first instance your phone is ready to accept the commands
adb wait-for-device install "android.process.acore or something like that".apk
So, with the phone plugged into my laptop, I opened the folder with the apk and fastboot/adb files in it, opened a command prompt, ran the script and then rebooted my phone.
The adb script said waiting for device until the HTC logo screen started, then BAM! apk installed (even though my phone continued bootlooping).
Give it a shot and see what happens.
As far as i know adb works in recovery (at least a custom one,never tested on stock) and a working OS and fastboot only in the bootloader

[q] SOLVED: ADB ROM PUSH ERROR: DEVICE NOT FOUND

EDIT:
I was trying to reflash JB 4.3 because of storage issues but unfortunately I accidentally deleted and formatted internal and sd storage, so Im left with no OS on my Gnex but I can boot on recovery and fastboot. Also before I deleted the internal I did not enable usb debugging yet at that time. Is there a way I can flash a stock image by just using toolkit? ty
I tried pushing through fastboot mode but it says error: device not found. I only have the platform tools on my pc.
UPDATE:
Finally got the file pushed into the sd card doing via recovery. Since I am using TWRP recevery it was not too obvious how to do it unlike CWRM which I used to use. I spent more than 24 hours looking for the right solution that would work for me and funny thing was I finally got the right way to one of the first threads i looked into but just didnt pay much attention to it which was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
"Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen
- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable
- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)
- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd
- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)"

Go into your device manager if you have windows, and see if you have any errors.
If you do, you might have an exclamation mark for the device: Galaxy. You can manually install the drivers from here, point it to your toolkit, I guess, since you downloaded it already.
If he reads efrant's "android 101" -which is STICKIED ON GENERAL forum- just the first post, he'll know everything and downloaded everything he needs to know and have to interact with his device.

I have read that already however I was hoping to just flash a file to the sdcard if is even possible considering I have formatted both internal and sdcard. I am very new to adb so its an easier way for me. But it seems then I will ave to do it the hard way. Thanks
PS
Not sure if this has any bearing but when I accidentally formated internal and sdcard it was a fresh 4.3 install and so android debugging was not enabled. Thanks

Doesn't matter because if you reboot in bootloader you can use fastboot(if drivers are installed properly), fastboot always works, you don't need to enable anything for it.

So meaning I can use fastboot to just push file to sdcard right? Tried to look for the right command but I cant seem to find the right one that works for me. Thank you.

no, there's no ADB interface on FASTBOOT interface. You'll never be able to push anything through ADB in FASTBOOT interface. Please read the thread i talked about earlier, and this one too -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 - Just the first post of each will do.

xD I actually had this issue a few days ago, had issues for 4 hours, realized I had my cord plugged in a 3.0 port.
Really dumb noob moment.
UPDATE:
Finally got the file pushed into the sd card doing via recovery. Since I am using TWRP recevery it was not too obvious how to do it unlike CWRM which I used to use. I spent more than 24 hours looking for the right solution that would work for me and funny thing was I finally got the right way to one of the first threads i looked into but just didnt pay much attention to it which was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
"Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen
- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable
- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)
- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd
- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)"

Instead of using a toolkit, just push a rom to ur sdcard using adb and flash it via recovery.. Or you can download the official image, boot into fastboot and flash it..

I'm glad you sorted it out, that's the thing instead of teaching you step by step just left a hint on what you should do, helps you learn to do it on your own..
Peace,

Thanks
Thanks for this. Was stuck with no factory image because had to wipe data because of encryption. Then was in dilemma of how to load the ZIP to sdcard without having to reflash the stock all over. This saved me the time. Thanks again

If you use terminal emulator from Google Play, no need to worry about ADB. ADB is android debug bridge, Android command line for Windows computer. In other words, terminal emulator does the same thing on your phone that ADB does on computer for your phone. Most of the time you can input same commands on your phone through terminal emulator, that you would input if your phone was connected to computer via ADB. In this case it says CMD/terminal, meaning it should work either way.

What im trying to rstore is my original rom. I dont have a bckup folder in CWM. It is actually in download/recovery.
If I'm not mistaken I believe your nandroid would be in clock work mod folder?
