I have no OS right now because I did a "Format Data" in TWRP which wiped my internal storage, including the zip file. I'm doing this for a friend and not super familiar with the Nexus. Since there's no SD card, how can I get a zip file back onto the device to flash?
Current status:
TWRP
ADB drivers installed
Galaxy Nexus Toolkit can't do anything because it's getting that "USB Debugging is not enabled"
Currently trying this:

Use fastboot and flash the stock nexus images provided by Google.

USB debugging has nothing to do with recovery.

Sdcard is formatted, I believe you need to boot up at least once to push files into it.
Fastboot stock ROM.

Of course you can use adb in recovery, what I'm trying to get across is that you may have to boot into android at least once to 'format' the sdcard, without a formatted sdcard, pushing a gazillion times won't work....

I use a tool kit called wugfresh nexus root toolkit it has everything you need this same thing has happened to me before.

like few others mentioned, connect your devices to PC push a rom and flash it, as far as i understand when you format the data, it formats the DATA, which means /data is formated so you can push a rom using ADB.
EDIT: PS: I might be wrong, but i'm no expert either so.

I wiped the sd card like a retard... and now don't have a rom to flash.
What do?
I can't find how to mount the sd card.
You have to adb push the Rom to your phone. Hopefully you have the android sdk installed, a quick Google search will provide you with instructions on how to push the file

Are you getting payed or something man?
Why are you suggesting a toolkit, which will then use fastboot, to reflash a whole rom, a stock rom at that, when he has access to a custom recovery, thus he can get himself out of this mess and learn a thing or two about adb (adb can do more than just a simple copy operation).

you formatted the system partition.
i assume you formatted your SD card. so you have 2 choices
1) you download whatever custom rom you want on your pc and use: adb push locationofrom /data/media/
2) you use fastboot to restore to stock.

adding to that, adb only works in recovery. from fastboot, restart recovery, push a rom, flash it. no need to reflash stock images in this situation, imo.

There is the nexus toolkit that has all you need. Its stickied in the sprint section. You can flash a ROM through there.

With android u don't have to worry about anything if it's software based problem. Every problem can be solved here. We've got the best devs here that make everything is just possible. That's what iphone users can't have. They have to wait for apple for every fixes while we don't.

Nice! This helped me out big time. Couldn't get my laptop to recognize my phone. Odin did it though. Thanks.
Hello everybody, i'm here since a bit of time and i've always found every solution to my problems. Now i've made a very big mess. So.. i used to have aokp rom, and clockworkmod recovery. Then while trying to update, i tried TWRP 2.3.3.0 touch recovery. So i made a backup from the recovery and everything and then a full wipe.. the problem is that this recovery doesn't show me the SD card partition, and the backup i made was saved in /data, which was formatted with the wipe.. now i'm trying everything.. GNexus Toolkit, Odin.. but i can't get out of here.. any ideas on how to get back to Clockworkmod?
Edit: it gets in bootloader, recovery and download mode but there's no way my pc sees it, neither with the GNex toolkit nor with Odin
Did u try /data/media/ ?

1) put on your big boy pants and stop using a toolkit
2) its failing cause the drivers are not installed correctly.

Hi XDA,
my brother got his GNex wet and gave it to me. I took it apart entirely and let it dry overnight, I assembled it back together today but I can't get into the OS.
Bootloader, Fastboot, Download-Mode, recovery and ADB sideload all work fine but if I want to boot into the OS it just keeps rebooting at the Google-logo with the little lock at the bottom.
What I've tried so far:
Reflash the stock ROM via the Nexus Root Toolkit
Repartition and reflash stock ROM via Odin
Flash CyanogenMod in CWM
I've tried all of the above multiple times, I can't get it to boot.
Could it be that the internal memory is defective? If so, is there any tool that I could use to test it? Can I partiton "around" the defective parts?
Thanks for your time and help.
