Phone wont install my backups.......HELP!!!!!

I was running Jelly bean for 2 weeks now and no problems and I hooked the phone up to my charger and it just started to bootload itself over and over and so I just tried to install my backup and start over but it says error while restoring data on all my backups. I need help on whether or not I am screwed or If I can connect my phone to my computer someway and use clockwork and maybe do something that way. I am able to get to clockwork rec and I believe that my files have been erased some how some way and cant connect to my computer to just start over unless one of you guys can really help me out. If I can get step by step help I will def buy someone a beer or two or three. Thanks

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.

Need Help ASAP

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
The run down. My phone is bootloader unlocked rooted etc. already flashed xenon rom and everything was great. (Just got the device today)
Ok so here's the trouble i'm in. I decided I wanted to try another rom so i boot into clockwork recovery wipe system,data cache etc. suddenly all my files dont exist.
I have no back up file (my stupidity). I can still get into fastboot, clockwork etc, but it does not recognize a sd card on the device.
i tried loading up Samnsung Toolkit v7.8.0 and all i see in the top menu is
fastboot-toolkit is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
adb-toolkit is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
this is what worries me. I plug the device in on my windows computer it recognizes something no sd card.. currently downloading factory images
BUT WHAT DO I DO?!!!! pls help and pls do not flame me etc. All I'm asking is simple help thanks

A. Do not use toolkit. Unless you know how to solve things manually
B. Google how to setup adb and fastboot.
C. "adb push NAME_OF_ROM.zip /sdcard/" while on custom recovery
D. Flash that ROM

also when tryin to access card via clockwork it states it cannot located directory...its like my sdcard does not exist

There is no sdcard on the gNex. As long as data is mounted you should be good

1st of all, Gnex doesn't have SDcard, therefore, you can't mount it. You can only use adb to push and pull files on recovery
2nd, are you sure you got proper driver? Do you actually have the ROM.zip on the same directory as adb.exe? If not, you need to do that. Also, if /sdcard/ doesn't work, /storage/sdcard0/ should work. It's a same directory. Just in different name for some reason.

- open windows device manager
- boot into CWM (it provides the ADB interface) and connect USB cable
- you should see your device being added to the list in device manager
- make sure you have the correct ADB driver installed, update if needed (use the naked driver v0.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875)
- push a ROM to /sdcard using adb push
- flash ROM via CWM

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.
THANK YOU GUYS. man, another android saved LOL THANK YOU

you never have to use odin if you can get into the bootloader.

Thanks Petrovski80 ! I had softbricked my GNex and could not transfer anything into it. I was on TWRP. Flashed Clockwork through fastboot and used GNex Toolkit to push files into the phone.
You're a lifesaver !

[Q] Wiped system by accident no OS installed (Soft Brick)

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.

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.

Help please,, I screwed up my Nexus

So I got myself a S4, & planned to give my wife the Nexus,, But I screwed up and, wiped EVERYTHING. Now I can't get my computer to recognize my phone to side load or install a ROM through adb. I feel like its the drivers won't install correctly. I've tried 2 different computers and am at a loss. I need help.. it just keeps saying ( I think it says) "hardware not installed correctly" :crying: anybody?

I had a similar situation yesterday with a failed 4.4 install on my Gnex and this is what worked for me, YMMV.
I installed the Minimal ADB package from here on my PC.
"adb devices" from within the ADB window showed my Gnex.
I downloaded the CM 10.2 Rom and placed the zip on the root c: of my PC for the shortest path to remember.
"adb push c:\'rom name' space '/sdcard/download' " to push the zip file to my Gnex. This can take a few seconds depending on the size of the zip.
Boot in recovery and flash the ROM zip.
Here's a link to an ADB guide
