I cant flash a zip due to this. I've also lost my fastboot cable. So if fastboot is my only option does anyone know the commands that need to be typed in terminal commands to accomplish this?
Did you try mounting it in mount, and browsing system from An adb shell or twrp's file browser to see if you can view the contents of /system? If you can tell me what shows up in there.

Try adb push after turning it on.

I tried to mount system under mount but the screen just freezes than unfreeze with system still unmounted. Don't have my kindle with me at the moment so can't check to see if files show up in system. I don't think adb push would help though because I don't think anything can be written to system because it won't mount. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Have you tried from TWRP:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Should reboot into fastboot mode without a fastboot cable

From terminal on your PC use adb reboot bootloader then your regular USB will act like a Fastboot cable

With TWRP I flashed stock firmware, then decided to wipe everything. So now I have no recovery. Just sign on the screen "Kindle fire"
When I try to do adb shell I get the message "exec '/ system / bin / sh' failed: No such file or directory"
Sorry for my poor English.
If you flashed stock firmware with TWRP, then can you just not do that again?
I didnt think wiping system wiped recovery.... In fact, im sure it doesnt as I wiped system yesterday when I flashed CM7.
About the adb push thing not working. Not tried, but does ADB recognise windows formatted paths? Seems like it doesnt. Move what you are trying to copy into the adb directory and try again.
Oh lord stock overwrites the recovery. Looks like your device is broken permanently, the same thing happened to me and my first kindle. Unless you can get yourself a factory cable you are going to need to get a new one

That was my thought too. Could you use idme to set the boot mode to fastboot then use that to flash twrp and firefirefire? Even if idme isn't available, you can adb push it from a computer.

What exactly should I push?
when your fire boots to the "kindle fire" screen connect it to comp and try running the "fastboot devices" command and see if it will recognize it, if it does then you are ok we can fix it if. make sure you are in <your path to sdk>/platform-tools to try the fastboot commands.
I had this problem with my first kindle. Afaik there's no way to get into fastboot without a factory cable in the current state that it's in. He's missing the sh binary that actually lets you go into the shell. He can't push to the system because he doesn't have the su binary so he cannot remount. There's no way to push files to a PATH location as they are all read only unless you're root. He needs a factory cable or he's screwed.
As for the cable itself, if you Google tbh Motorola factory cable you'll find it. You can also make one from an existing cable, just google around for a guide

You should be able to do is using fastboot to get into CWM - you can then mount the sd card and copy off your data
Like Eddy said. Via fastboot, boot up CWM, either you have it flashed or not.
From CWM, you can access the phone via adb over USB.
In a "adb shell", you can .tar.gz up the stuff you like (or your entire /sdcard). Afterwards you can "adb pull" that off the phone.
Requires quite a bit off commandline, but it's not hard, just cumbersome. If your data is important enough, it's definitely worth it.

You can't mount /sdcard on a Galaxy Nexus.
Like josteink said, boot up CWM, open a command prompt on your computer and type: adb pull /sdcard or adb pull /data/media
That's it. This will pull all your data stored in /sdcard (although I believe it will not keep the directory structure in place). As well, keep in mind that file transfers over adb are very slow, so it may take a while if you have a lot of data...
It's not had CWM Installed. I assume that the process of unlocking the bootloader to install CWM would wipe the phone so that wont work?
Is that correct or am I mistaken?

Correct. If your bootloader is locked, you're out of luck. Unlocking wipes everything.

Once you boot up CWM, you have adb access to the files on your device. Not sure what "mount" you are talking about, but I have never had to do anything to get files off/on the /sdcard directory other than boot up CWM or my ROM.

Boot loop
If you are having difficulty with boot loop, pull the battery. I had the same issue with my N1 didn't wipe dalvik cache after an update. And because of the loop couldn't get the timing for fastboot as the bootloop was not giving an indication of when the keypresses would activate the bootloader.
If you are unrooted and stock then try this:
Put device into the bootloader by holding down Vol Up + Vol Down + Power
use your volume buttons to change options next select (with power button) the fastboot option, after use the ADB instructions from the more knowledgeable members (ADB is somewhat cumbersome.... but it works and has saved my bacon) After wards using the Bootloader you should be able to resore to factory settings and reload your info after.
If you are Rooted with a custom bootloader and rom
same as above to get to bootloader, but then wipe your cache, and dalvik cache. Reflash latest ROM and Gapps. You shouldnt lose anything.
Good luck bud.... your Nexus isn't dead.... only in a Coma.... or a political promise...

Have you tried and gotten that to work in recovery? Although I haven't tried it, I don't think that works in recovery. It is a feature of ICS, so I'm pretty sure you need to be booted into your ROM for it to work.

Hey, I'm running to a similar problem with this guy.
I stupidly reformated my system files without having a rom on my internal sd.
The question is that I'm reading that I can use the adb to push files in but I'm just new to the whole adb.
How would I get my computer to use the adb?
Sorry for such a noob question -_-;
Edit: So it seems from looking around and reading other forums and faq's that I need to have the phone for the adb to be installed.
Is there away around that so that I can access the adb?
Edit2: Nevermind. Fixed it with a toolkit. Sorry to spam

If its recognized by the computer, then you're fine.
Download ADB and Fastboot (I've attached the .zip to this post). Unzip it to your home folder, and drop whatever files you need to transfer to your phone in that folder.
Open terminal and direct it to the path of your ADB file (aka, type "cd " and drag the folder into Terminal).
Type:
Code:
./adb devices
and hit return. If you get "devices attached xyzxyzxyzyxz" you're good.
Type:
Code:
./adb push FILENAME.zip /sdcard/
and hit return. If it's a full ROM, it'll take a while, you don't get progress or any notification until its finished transferring.
Then load up your CWM and wipe your data etc etc then flash the ROM.

Read my post. It's "./adb push FILENAME.zip /sdcard/ " . Just go into your recovery and do the ADB command to push the file. Let it xfer then you're good to go.
Mount /data in mounts and storage
then preform this
Code:
adb push name-of-ROM.zip /data/media
I would have said sdcard but sometimes that doesnt work.. at least the last time i've tried it didnt work correctly and wouldnt bring up my "sdcard" at all and had to reboot the recovery and it wasnt there. I know for sure this method works.
OH oops.. Boot into recovery and go into mounts and storage and mount /data sorry..

It'll be visible in CWM when you go select a zip. Just the same as you did the last one. All ADB push does is put it on your phone so you can flash it normally. Exact same as if you moved it via Android File Transfer or download.

You don't need USB debugging enabled for adb to recognize your device in recovery. USB debugging is needed for adb to work while Android is booted, but not in recovery. The drivers on the other hand, you will need to figure out why those aren't working. Once those work, your custom recovery will allow adb to function. You then can adb push the file(s) to your sdcard.

You don't need USB Debugging to be on to get adb to work in your recovery. As I said previously, USB debugging only matters when you boot into the OS. You don't have an OS to boot into, and even if you did it wouldn't matter in the recovery. I have USB debugging off right now, and use adb in recovery quite often. The state of USB debugging, either on or off, isn't your issue.
ADB doesn't recognize your device because you are having driver issues. Maybe they aren't installed, aren't installed properly, or something else. Figure out what is going on with those, and adb will recognize your device in recovery. You then can use it to push the file(s) you want to flash, or use sideload.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Because most common problems with "can't flash anything"are coming from locketd bootloader.
To check it go in cmd / terminal with connected phone with turned on USB debbuging mode and enter the following commands:
adb reboot-bootloader
after you phone reboot it will stay on the logo. This is bootloader mode. After that enter:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
And see what is telling you - unlocked or locked?
If it is locked, you can unlock it by the following:
