I unlocked and rooted my phone just fine. I had CM10 zip on my SD, but I can't find it on my device to install it. I must have erased it along with my OS. I never wiped my internal storage so I have no idea what happened. Is there anyway I can get the zip back on the internal storage through TWRP? The device won't even reboot because there's no OS. Thanks,

I'm a bit of a noob. I've done this with other devices, but never had any issues. Would you mind explaining how to sideload a Rom.

I've been searching around and apparently TWRP 2.2 (what I have installed) can't ADB sideload. Am I screwed?
If you're proper worried reflash the factory image (guides are on here - you should have the file already as anyone would make sure they have a get out should things go wrong)

Doesn't matter, you can download the factory image and reflash the phone back to stock. Once working you can then try again

Can anyone tell me how I can load another ROM onto the SD card without the ability to boot. I wiped all my cache and data, and tried to load GummyNex, but the phone refused to boot. Now I'm stuck in CWM. I tried ODINing the stock system, but I couldn't get my phone to boot into ODIN mode. Now my only option is to find a way to load another ROM and try to install that via CWM. But without an external SD card, I don't see how that' s possible.
Suggestions?

with fastboot. you download the rom to your pc and then use commands for fastboot and it pushes the rom to your phone.

By not loading rom from computer to SD card.
You update the phone from the computer. No transfer of files to the phone.
No SD card is ever involved.
You use fastboot and fastboot only.
(That, or Odin, and that still involves zero SD card)
Fastboot was one of the reasons you got a Nexus. Now is the time to learn how to use it.

I did that. That has an explanation for how to use fastboot with stock recovery. I need to load a custom rom. I've unzipped the Toro .zip and cannot find any file that has the word fastboot in it. Please stop referring me to other links. A simple explanation would be much more helpful.

The fastboot-windows.exe file is in the GNex Toolkit... if you've actually read post #2 that was linked earlier, you'd see that explained very clearly.
You need the fastboot-windows.exe (assuming you're in Windows) in the same folder as your toro files.
I believe the entry in post #2 of "Q. How do I Update to the latest Google Stock Rom?" should be plenty of step by step for you.
This will put you back on a stock rom. From there, you should be able to easily copy the zip file for whatever rom you want onto the phone.

if you had read the links, you should've used your brain to figure it out....
im sorry for trying to help you. you're on your own now.
What the other uses are instructing you to do is correct. There are no roms compatible with flashing via fastboot to my knowledge. You will need to flash back to stock first. Then you can boot into your phone and download or copy the rom zip to your phone to flash via cwm.
But you will most likely need to flash stock first as a step in the process. Unless you had a nandroid backup...

Stupid error on my part. Flashed a 4.2 ROM with TWRP recovery v2.2.0 When I flashed the ROM, it just bootloops. So I tried to restore my backup and the recovery folder is empty. I can see my recovery files in /sdcard/0/TWRP/backups, so where do I need to move the folder so that TWRP will see them when I select "Restore" from the main menu? Thanks!
Update TWRP, done
Forgot to add: the ROM bootloops, so I can't update TWRP through normal procedures.
Then wipe data and reflash/flash a backup.

Just did the same thing myself yesterday.
move the contents of /sdcard/0/TWRP/backups to /sdcard/TWRP/backups
I did that using adb shell from recovery.
That should get TWRP to see the backups again. Then update TWRP.

I did this using TWRP file manager, and it still doesn't see the files. (I copied and pasted the folders)
Edit: adb would not recognize the phone when in bootloader, but I went into recovery and then it listed the phone. I'm doing a pull od /sdcard right now and will push the updated TWRP recovery img when it is done.
I was able to pull the entire sd card when in Recovery. Then pushed the updated TWRP recovery img and that did the trick. Thanks for all the help!

Hi,
Try this toolkit; toolkit will help you flash stock rom / unlock / boot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614827
Or else you can always try to flash stock images.
Download a ROM boot into recovery and adb push to /sdcard flash profit. Or you can also mount the SD card in twrp. You're really not in a sticky situation you should be able to fix this in little time.
Another easy way is if you have USB OTG cable(very cheap... Got mine for $4) you can throw a ROM&gapps zip onto flash drive and should be able to flash via recovery from that.
No need to freak out buddy, whether you wanna setup SDK on ya PC to easily use fastboot & adb to restore device or even push/sideload zips, or use toolkit, there is tons if options.
Did you wipe ALL /data im guessing? Instead of factory reset which leaves your /sdcard(aka /data/media) untouched? And also wiped /system?
I've been there. Haha many of us prolly have. You'll be up and running again in no time! Dont fret!

Why go thru that when you can just sideload right now?
i ran into this issue again as well. I have nandroids on my phone, but when I wiped data, the rom I was going to flash didn't get put on from my computer. I sideloaded through adb to /data/media/0 and it pushed fine, but still won't show up in my install section of TWRP, only the file manager in advanced. Anyone else have problems sideloading with TWRP?

I never even noticed that. But how does the sideload work? When I click on it, it asks if I want to wipe either or both dalvik and cache, and says swipe to start sideload. after you swipe you just use adb sideload filename.zip and that's it?

Yup. First start the sideload on your phone, then connect it to a computer with working adb (should be easy). After that, open a command prompt window and execute "adb sideload your-rom-name-and-position.zip". Your ROM should then be pushed to the root of storage and flashed.

i think so
thats why i said install 4ext "somehow"
So long story short I attempted to update my GS3 to the official ota 4.4.2 and it installed 100% but now will not boot past the AT&T logo. It revolves about three times then freezes. I am still able to get into recovery/download mode and I was wondering how I can either get it to fully boot or install some other rom? Pretty noobish at this have only rooted twice and installed CM via the installer. Any help would be appreciated!
Try a factory reset in recovery to see if that helps.

You might have to try with Kies if you wanna keep the official.
I'm not sure if there is a flashable zip of 4.4.4 yet.

Thanks but im not 100% sure what to do. Can I flash cwm via odin then flash the rom? Because my gs3 is recognized by my computer but im not able to access it like a hard drive to drag the files in.

Yep, you could use an external SD to flash CM. You'll have to flash cwm or twrp with Odin if you don't already have it.

well, if you have no OS installed then you are no longer rooted, but that's pretty much irrelevant.
anyway, install a compatible ROM, using either:
1- the microsd card
2- adb push <name of rom>.zip /sdcard/
3- [start sideload in twrp] then adb sideload <name of rom>.zip
4- usb-otg

well if it's a nandroid backup, then it is not a flashable zip. you need to extract that backup (whichever one you are using), and place it in the twrp backup folder (probably /sdcard2/TWRP/BACKUPS/<your serial number>/<backup folder name>)
then use restore, not install

And there no boot.img in the NANDROID either from my computer.
you are clearly reading the half of it !
a boot.img or emmc.boot.win file is flashed by fastboot and not within the recovery.....read it.....read it ALL
