So my Nexus is stuck in limbo and won't let me actually access the phone. I can only go into recovery but I was hoping I could use USB Mass Storage on CWM to stick a zip for a new rom but that option isn't there. Is there anything else I can do? I'm on a mac btw
You need to use adb to push over a ROM .zip file.
You can't use USB storage option, because the Nexus uses MTP.

What would I have to type in terminal in order for me to be able to push over that rom .zip?

adb push <name of zip>.zip /data/media (the beginning adb bit may be different for mac though)
This will push it on the 'sd card' folder

You forgot the last "/".
I would do it like this: adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/
Or for MacOS: ./adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/

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.

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.

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"

If I can get step by step help I will def buy someone a beer or two or three. Thanks
If you have a rom zip on your sdcard just boot into recovery, wipe and flash a new rom. If you don't then go into recovery, mount sdcard to your computer and move a zip onto your sd and then flash.

Connect your phone to your computer, boot into CWM recovery, and use ADB to push a ROM.zip, GAPPS, and whatever else you need to flash to your phone. You can then do a data wipe in CWM and flash the ROM.
If you don't know how to use ADB, download the package I've attached to this post. Unzip it to your home directory and drop any files you need to push into that file as well. Open up Terminal, type "cd" (no quotes) and drag that unzipped Mac_ADB_Fastboot folder into the terminal and hit return. It'll take you to that directory.
First, make sure the computer recognized the device by typing:
Code:
./adb devices
and hitting return.
If it detects, then type this into the Terminal, of course substituting any file you need (GAPPS, etc.) where "ROM.zip" is:
Code:
./adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/

adb is a platform tool in android sdk, and can use on mac surely.
you can get one sent by martonikaj.
firstly you have to try to mount your sdcard in the cwm recovery. if it done, you can use adb push send file to sdcard.

You could always just find someone with a PC that will let you use it for 15 minutes, download the rom, move to your phone, boot into recovery, flash and enjoy. I always have 2 or 3 rom zips on my phone just for that reason.

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???
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
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)

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:
So, my problem is that I have recently unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One X using my Mac and the very helpful guide provided on this YouTube link
http://youtu.be/8Y3VbFJIwWU
No problems with the process in that video and I've gotten to the end with the phone bootloader definitely.
My problem is that I've then attempted to install a custom ROM from the SD card. Again, this seems to work fine, but upon reboot I'm immediately hit with a continual pop-up 'unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped' with the only option to press ok. It loops continuously.
I suspect I may have to reinstall the ROM onto the SD card, but this is my problem. I cannot get my phone's USB access to work on my Mac as I am stuck with the above pop-up preventing me. I can't seem to access it via Recovery either.
Can I use fastboot to 'flash' over the *.img or *.zip of a new ROM to get it onto the SD card? Stuck with a phone I can't use otherwise. :crying:
Thanks.
Mount usb storage from the recovery.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
or while in recovery type
Code:
adb push rom.zip sdcard/
Thanks for that, athulele . :good:
I have tried that. On a Mac, for USB access requires that I use software called 'Android File Transfer' rather than the way Windows would do it. That software doesn't kick in via Recovery mounting. So, I'm going to need a different approach.
Since I have Windows installed via Bootcamp, I think I'll try to connect the phone up via Windows and see whether I can access the SD card via USB using that route.
Any other help is most welcome.

Hi matt95
I'm grateful for the help you are giving me here. I've found the adb file within the following downloaded directory path:
act-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130219 - sdk - platform-tools - adb
When I changed directory in Terminal to this path and ensured the specific rom.zip was also in that path, Terminal is still giving me this:
./adb push sentinelrom_v4_30_endeavoru.zip sdcard/
-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
I must be doing something not right. Please help further.
that's strange, could you provide me the platform-tools folder and the rom.zip folder? i'll write down what you exactly have to write...

I managed to find a copy of ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.0 and flashed this as advised. This has somehow enabled the USB facility on my phone to start working again and I can replace the ROM I've downloaded onto it.
I just tried reinstalling the ROM I had again, but once again got the original message stated in my first post. I'm about to now try a different ROM to see if that makes any difference.
