Can't Access Storage, no Rom Installed.

Long story short, don't have any Rom's installed on my Nexus,none on the card, can only get to Fastboot and Clockwork recovery, and can't access sd card as I can't get into Android, what the hell do I do now ?
Cheers

Use fastboot

Ahk, as you can tell, I'm not the greatest with this, I know how to use fastboot, but which img should I flash with it?

Hey, this is because the phone is not fully rooted I think. Are you sure the bootloader is unlocked and you have successfully rooted? If you go into rom manager can you flash CWM?

D'oh!
Can you try going through the rooting process again the way you first did it?
I had this recently and when I rooted again it worked fine but it was the exact same issue. Hope it works out for you.

There's no ROM on the phone at all so what would the OP be actually rooting??
To the OP, go into CWM and then mount the SD card so Windows can read it. Then transfer the ROM you wish to use and flash it as before
Or restore the backup you obviously took before flashing a new ROM

Can you mount sd in CWM? Does your Nexus have an SD slot because mine doesn't. Mounting usb in CWM never worked for me either.

Yeah as far as I am aware mounting usb in CWM won't work and never has. I also have never heard of or seen a GNex with an SD card.

LOL, I just answered this in another thread yesterday. You'll need to start all over by going back to stock Google images first.
Get the images here and be sure to pick the right GSM/LTE image:
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Once you have the image, follow my steps in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447888
Finally, you need to install su again for root and flash CWM again.
EDIT: BTW, should warn you that doing so will wipe everything on your phone.

You could always download a ROM to your PC. Then boot your phone into CWM. Select Storages and Mounts. Then mount as a USB Mass Storage. Then copy the ROM to your phone.

Has this worked for you? I've tried it before but CWM always fails to mount. I thought it's because GN doesn't have a dedicated SD card.

There is so much bad information here..
This phone WILL NOT MOUNT AS USB MASS STORAGE, therefore MOUNT USB in CWM does not work :/
If you are EVER stuck in this situation, you need to use fastboot to flash stock Google images as per three posts above me.

I totally agree! I knew usb couldn't bemounted in CWM!!!Thanks for clearing it up.

If you can boot into CWM you do not need to use fastboot. Boot into CWM and ADB push a ROM into /data/media (your "sdcard") and CWM flash the ROM.
Here's my advice for people who want to tinker with their Android phones.
Learn these fundamentals:
1.) Basic Linux/Windows command lines
2.) ADB
3.) Fastboot
4.) Odin or other flashing utilities respective to your phone.
Troubleshoot your phone in this order (as available to your situation):
1.) ClockworkMod Recovery
2.) Fastboot
3.) Odin/Download mode, RUU, other flashing utilities

If that's the case then the mount options should be removed from CWM to stop confusion - I assumed it would connect as it does when booted

Nexus S doesn't have a sdcard, and it works on the NS. The reason why this functionality doesn't work in CWR is because Galaxy Nexus uses MTP and not USB mass storage. Therefore, it doesn't work.

CWM is widely distributed across many devices. They're not going to remove it and give Galaxy Nexus owners their own recovery if they don't need to. There shouldn't be confusion because this phone does not support UMS, and that is very clear. So "mount USB storage" obviously wouldn't work.

[Q] Installing Clockworkmod Recovery Help!!!

I picked up a GSII from Sprint yesterday so of course the first thing I'm going to do is root it. I've got root access with Superuser installed but I can't seem to install a custom recovery. I've been looking everywhere for a file to install via Odin 1.85 but it seems EVERY download link I've found has been broken! I'm on EL29 (White GSII) and am extremely frustrated that I can't figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think you may be in the wrong forum

Yep. Definitely on Sprint.

Great, I now have CWM recovery and rogue recovery, but no matter which one I use when I try to da a backup (the reasaon I needed recovery) I gat an "can't mount backup path" message and goes back to menu..
Ok new development, I did a backup from CWM to internal sdcard and that works,, so rogue backup won't work,,

Rogue should work to backup to external SD card; it's where it puts it by default unless you choose to mount the internal card - I did it dozens and dozens of times on GB. Saves the file to a folder called sdcard or something. Try again with out any extra steps of mounting or anything.:
In recovery choose backup, then advanced backup toggle down to backup with all saying yes. [Also you might want to make sure that the first time you go into recovery that you press the volume up and down buttons a few times all the way through to make sure you enable the power button/select. See Qbking77's videos for descriptions of that too.]

I don't think it is hard bricked, you did nothing wrong, i think. Anyway, you could try to download the ROM (i think that you don't have it in the phone now) from pc and put it in phone in recovery, then try to flash again the rom. You can also try to download another sense 5 rom, like maximus (it works for me); in both cases, wipe all (except the sd) and re-flash the kernel. If it doesn't work, then go back to sense 4+ until someone finds out the problem. If i didn't understand well the problem, then sorry, but i hope i helped you.

Go to recovery, and from there mount usb storage. Put on back the desired ROM and start all over again.
To me this looks the easiest and the shortest way. Otherwise you keep on trying stuff, and perhaps non of them help. Just my 2 cents.

Guys, I spent a long time starting with deodexed 4.1.1 stock, added Xposed module and Blackout theme and swapped in all inverted current apps then reodexed but.....since I changed TWRP above 2.5.0.0 my backup is restoring incomplete. I am sticking with a backup of 4.1.1 because WifiTether works on WiMax but not after 4.1,1 so I want a nandroid that restores fully. Is it because TWRP is full SELinux now?
Sent from my HTC One using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2

If you take the nandroid with the new version you'll probably have better luck. Only other thing I've seen, and granted this was on my s3, but with one of the versions I couldn't restore unless I kept the screen on during the restore. But I've also seen restore fail because of the first item too after upgrading recovery and then trying to restore a backup made with an older recovery
