[Q] Wiped system by accident no OS installed (Soft Brick) - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I wiped my system (wiped internal with my ROM and nano) by accident. I can access TWRP and download mode fine. Don't have a micro external sd, only internal sd.
PC doesn't recognize when I plug in phone as USB, but as CD drive. I have installed the samsung drivers. I'm on windows.
I have downloaded sdk tools, moved rom into /sdk/tools directory and tried to do an adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
***EDIT: adb is found in the newest sdk tools in the directory platform-tools instead of tools!***
How do I either push a ROM onto my internal storage or restore my phone to working condition?
The problem is that Windows 7 is not recognizing my device. "error: device not found"
Any help will be much appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Get the following error:" 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

you need to add adb as a enviroment varible in windows to make it direct to the android sdk path ( i think its been years since windows was my main dd os ) so i dont know hwo to do that but if you search you can find it
go ahead and reboot into download mode and then download my heimdal one click and run it and it will get you going again

I will definitely give it a shot. I am not sure whether even in download mode the usb is recognized. . . I might just buy a microSD tomorrow and do it that way. Thanks you.

I didn't want to go thru. download mode either, seemed unnecessary. I tried doing an adb push thru sdk tools, didn't work. TWRP, new version, has the sidload option as well and that failed too--cool option tho for anyone interested: http://teamw.in/ADBSideload
I finally just got a microSD, transferred my ROM on it and all is back to normal.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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

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?
