Softbrick push file to SD card - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

My N7 is softbricked. I've been unable to flash it back to stock. I've tried several ways and recovery files and none of them work. Is it at all possible to push a zip file to the internal SD card while it's in the bootloader or something along those lines? Using the Nexus Root Toolkit I see that it is possible, however because it's softbricked it won't let me since I can't enable USB debugging and such.

Also, I think one of the problems I might be having is because it doesn't recognize anything as ABD when connecting.

Access sd card via custom recovery (LG p500)

Hello,
I tried to install the Cyanogenmod for the optimus one and got stuck at the android logo. Fortunately, mik_os has predicted about this (thread) and has provided us a .zip to fix that. However I don't have a microsd adapter to mount my card on the pc and therefore I'm not able to use the fix. Trying to restore via nandroid backup had no success 'cause I get an error which again requires mounting my sd card in order to solve it. Also I tried to use adb to push the .zip but when entering "adb shell" command, I get an error saying that the device was not found, although I can see it in the device manager. I have installed this custom recovery to my phone.
So you guys have any ideas about how to access my sd card? Sorry for my poor english. I hope you have understood my problem and help me.
Thank you in advance!

[Q] Nexus 7 (2013) lte soft bricked, no backup

Hi, so I installed franco kernel on my nexus 7 2013 LTE and it messed it up. Got it stuck on boot loop. Unfortunately I didn’t do a backup. So now I can’t restore. The worst thing is my laptop doesn’t recognize it when I take it to bootloader mode or recovery. I reformatted it from recovery so I think I lost root but I can still access the bootloader and recovery. Will appreciate suggestions on how to go about this.
Did you try reflashing the ROM?
Do you have any files on the SD card? It seems that is your only hope if your computer doesn't recognize it while in bootloader or recovery.

Do you have the correct drivers installed? If so, try removing them and re-installing. There's plenty of info to be found on XDA and the rest of the web on how to do that.
You can also try:
-another USB port on your laptop
-change your USB cable (you'd be surprised on how often this works)
-use another computer

I have a big problem that I need help with

My phone is in recovery but I cannot flash any roms because I have none in internal memory and for some reason it refuses to read anything on my sd card. I was able to recover a rom I had backed up before but as it had booted up, it shut down on its own and now it just goes back to recovery. No matter what I do, it just reboots into recovery. I tried connecting my phone to the pc using the USB cable but it will not let me copy anything into the internal memory. It wont even show me my sd card anymore. I have tried mounting it but nothing works. Any idea what it can be? Any help would be highly appreciated. I am on TWRP 2.8.0.0.
Have you tried using adb sideload to push a new rom zip onto internal storage?

Mostly adbsideload will work.
Worked with me before on xperia tx. And i think it work with any device!!

Cannot Copy - TWRP External SD Mounted

I'm receiving the attached error when attempting to copy files to either the internal or external sd storage when in TWRP. I am able to copy to the internal SD when the phone is booted. It doesn't seem to matter what type of file I attempt to copy, nor does the size of the file. The device also no longer shows up when trying to use ADB.
I'm running TWRP 2.8.4.0, the phone is rooted, usb debugging is enabled.
I've tried two separate USB cables, two separate computers, same result. Both computers running windows 7 x64. I've tried googling the problem, but I haven't been able to really find any good solutions.
Anyone have any ideas?
UPDATE: Able to bring it up with ADB again after flashing a new ROM, but I'm still unable to copy files when mounted in TWRP.

External SD issue

I have an LG Optimus Pro E980 with 4.4.2, rooted with towel root.
In an attempt to install TWRP recovery today I lost access to my external sd card. Not sure what I did but earlier today I could view, copy files or delete files to my sd card from my phone or from my computer when hooked with usb and media transfer.
I had a lot of trial and error trying to get a custom recovery installed on my phone and in the process I noticed my sd card quit working.
I have rebooted, removed it, reformatted (from my computer) and still nothing changes. ES File Manager sees it (I think) but when I try to create a folder on the external sd it just says it can't. It works when I put it in another android phone so I don't think the sd card is the problem. I also tried the app on google sdfix that makes kitkat have the settings to write to the sd card. Still didn't fix my problem. It will mount or erase from the settings menu. I don't see a format or unmount option at all.
I would like to flash a new copy of 4.4.2 to my phone but I can't find instructions of how to do this that I understand . I figure this will fix my problem and I was wanting to do a wipe and clean install anyway.
Can someone please advise me? TY
Certain twrp can't access the SD disk. I know this because I have installed twrp 2.8 and I notice immediately that it can't access the external SD disk, as normally be in the directory/storage/sddisk1. Don*t ask me which twrp to use because I don't know. I've heard that some twrp can access the external SD disk and some can't without some modification. Try this one

Its been modified, so it should work without any problem. BTW, as I have said on your other topic, why are you trying to reinstall the stock KitKat that you already have? If you have issues, a factory reset, as you've already figure out, should take care of thing, unless you've erase system files. Don't take the process of flashing tot files lightly, because if one of many things go wrong, you may wish you have never know how to flash the tot file.
