[Q] I screwed up.... Rom Install - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have a vzw nexus with TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed and working. I transferred a new rom to install to the internal storage. I then erased the cache. delvic cache and system to install the new rom. To my surprise the file transfer was corrupt. I want to install a new rom via OTG but no matter what I do I can not see the thumb drive via otg. I can get into recovery no problem
Any ideas?
Thank you

you can just download the ROM on a computer than open up the command prompt and send it over adb. there are many easy to follow youtube tutorials for you to study, best i got.

thank you, will try it

Hang tight bud you don't have to pay anyone just flash modaco its just purely rooted stock with Gplay http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 it also has an insecure boot.IMG that allows for shell and will not wipe your recovery and bootloader.

Ok well I will try this... but how can I get back to out of the box kindle fire?
Connect it to the pc, enter recovery, select mount make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system or data if so uncheck them, hit the big mount button hopefully the sdcard contents will pop up on your computer screen. Transfer this rom to the sdcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1439916 not the altrom version that is for dual booting. When finished with the transfer of the rom zip select unmount, then unplug, wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, select install, flash rom zip then select reboot and system if prompted. Pm me if you have difficulty and I will help assist you if more is neccessary. Good luck.

well i did what you said about downlooading that rom now i go on TWRP but i cant find it. im stuck
You downloaded it to your kindle or you transferred using mount? If you downloaded it to your kindle it will be located in your download folder if you transferred it then you will need to use twrp to locate where you transferred it to. The . And the .. or up one level allows you to navigate your sdcard contents depending on your version of twrp. External storage is your sdcard so you don't want to wipe this or it will also wipe everything that have moved there.

hey so i got the rom on there like u showed me. now i want to get my kindle back to default. like no twrp no nothing. i want it just like when i took it out of the box. just EVERYTHING normall amazon OS.. no root stuff
I do not recommend it. If you make mistake you will brick it. You can use kfu option 6 for extras obtain latest update.zip then transfer this to your sdcard do a full wipe and flash it in twrp just don't wipe your sdcard. I still don't recommend it. KFU will download it and extract it do not use the extracted update.zip files just use update.zip only. At your own risk of course. For best results wipe factory/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash update.zip and select reboot and system if prompted.

Did I brick my SGS3 ? ^_^

All right, first thing first. Thanks to everybody for this amazing forum and all support.
Well. Here's my story:
1) Planned on installing CM10 nightly
2) Went to recovery (TWRP v2.2.0) and by mistake wiped everything :/ (Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System Internal Storage)
3) In effect i wiped everything including system.
4) Still have access to TWRP and download mode.
Does anybody have a clue how to fix that and install CM10 again?
PS.
1) internal storage does not mount under system (WIN7)
2) TWRP does not recognize microSDXC (32gbz) formated to either exFat or NTFS. (Tried 4 (four) of them)
Should i buy another micro sd like 2gb, format it to Fat32 and drop CM.zip there ? Or need i do something else?
Very respectfully.
That happened to me I just downloaded the rom to a sd card from my old phone put it in my s3 and installed it.

Hey thank you for quick answer. Do you know if there is any limitation for TWRP? It does not read my 32gb MicroSDXC.
Go into download mode and re flash then stock rooted rom.
Then install your twrp and try cm again.

Personally, I would (try to?) use adb with the phone booted into TWRP to transfer the ROM you want to flash over to the phone's internal storage, and go from there.
If that's not a possibility for whatever reason, you'd be best off starting by reflashing a stock rooted image with Odin and going from there.
Well. First of all thank you all for all your help in support. Got it back to stock with root (Odin flash). However there is another small problem that i can't figure out. TWRP itself seem not to have access to anything. I mean it sees all / but after openning /sdcard or anything else all it sees is empty folders. It doesn't have an access to external sd either (when you check log it sees that it couldn't mount ext sd correctly [even if after boot to stock system it recognizes it witout any issues).
Any idea how to solve this problem? What has been tried:
1) Reflash recovery (TWRP 2.2 using ODIN)
2) moving all files to /
3) RootExplorer see files (cm.zip) after reboot TWRP doesn't
4) Installing GooManager (it crashes after granting supersu permissions)
Very Respectfully.
With all those problems, flash to stock rooted and start over. You will be better off in the long run. You may want to also format your external sd.
Don't flash twrp with Odin.
Rooted stock
Dl and use goo manager to get twrp
What about a stock kernel? Just my chime in
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Allright small update.
1) ReFlashed to rooted stock (root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5)
2) Installed GooManager
3) Installed TWRP (using GooManager)
4) Downloaded lastest CM10 nightly (cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip) using GooManager
5) Flashed cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip from GooManager menu (FlashROM) - Wiped Dalvik & Cache
Now I'm stacked with CM boot splash for past 5 min hoping it just takes longer that it should.
Any ideas?
Very Respectfully.
EDIT:
Booting into recovery and performing factory reset fixes problem.
Thanks to everybody who helped.

GJ take it sure and slow. Other than flashing stock/rooting form Odin I wouldn't flash anything form Odin. Once you have super user on your phone, leave Odin out and do everything from phone
That's the safest route and it gets easier from here. The countless hours you spent are much easier the more you do it. Shouldn't take more than 20 minute to backup and flash roms and new apps from now on
Oh boy.
Almost done. But here are another tiny problems that just bother me and but I think they're solvable.
1) GooglePlay suddenly gives "No Connection" error, even though every other app that requires connection (Messenger, Browser) work just fine.
Have to mention that it worked for a while, installed couple apps (drop some more to install in queue and when I woke up - FAIL!)
Things done:
-Forced to stop
-ClearedData & Cache
Is there any other solution to fix it rather than reflashing gapps ?
2) The ExternalSD is mounted under PC as Internal Storage and vice versa.
When you click "Samsung -GHS-I747) in my computer it shows both with proper sizes but once you click them it opens the other.
No clue how to solve that one.
Very respectfully.

1. you are flashing a version of gapps that is out of touch with your rom or you did not flash it correctly/cleanly. I remember no matter how many times I flashed gapps I wouldn't get it to sync. Backed all user apps to Titanium backup. Did a clean install from scratch, and wallah it worked. Last sort.
Without doing that though there is usually one that is compatible that is listed on your rom page. Flash that one. For me that is 10/22 but I remember it giving that same error for a while so I ended up flashing the previously compatible version before that which was 7/26. Goo.im might help here, I haven't used it myself. Once you find a working gapps version etc. Store your 'safe' builds in one folder
2. Not sure what you mean. When you click your phone you should see internal and external storage on your phone. They are what they say they are. People tend to piss on not being able to find the right file size and folder attributes on this phones usb mount. It is a common problem. Probably one of the few problems on the phone. Annoying but manageable

1) Ended up reflashing gapps with goomanger (script to TWRP)
2) What i mean is that under phone it recognizes them perfectly. Just when I connect phone through USB to PC, my PC tends to mix them up. Just shows ExSD as Internal and Internal as ExSD. No biggy, just tried to fix as many tiny issues as possible before I hit deployment.
Very respectfully.
That is a known, and stated, issue with cm 10.1

[Q] Quick Questions

I am not a total noob to this, as I used to root/ROM the OG Nook Color to death, but I have a few questions on what to do when going from CM 10.1 M1 to the newest M2.
On the Nook, I could put files onto the SD card for flashing after I wiped the device in order to install a new ROM. However, on the Nexus there is no such option. I downloaded goo manager and got the latest GAPPS and M2 zip, but if I wipe the device prior to flashing the latest M2, won't these be wiped also? I guess I'm asking what is the best solution for updating ROMS since I don't have the benefit of loading files to an external SD card.
Along the same lines, I also made a NAND backup of the current ROM and a titanium backup of the apps+data. All of these files reside on the phone itself, so should I move them to the computer first, wipe the device then load them back on for flashing?
Thanks a ton.

There is no such need mate! When you root your phone, you get "an image of your internal memory" - forgot the word for it xD
So, when you do a "wipe" in recovery (TWRP or CWM) you do a factory reset - wipe system(on twrp) - wipe cache - wipe dalvik - and it just delets the current ROM you have, all your files remain on the internal memory, togeather with the titanium backup - zip files you just flashed and so on ... Hope you understand what I meant
Wow, I didn't know that it left files after doing a factory wipe in TWRP. So you're saying I can wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache, but my m2 zip, Gapps zip, nandroid backup zip and titanium backup files will still be there?
What about my wifi and bluetooth settings? do I need to do those over again or are they "saved" somewhere

If they are synced with your google account, they will restore back!
When wiping - do cache - dalvik cache- factory reset - system ... DON'T wipe anything else, especially internal storage! THAT will wipe everything off ...
I don't know how to check if they are synced. I know I have contacts calendar, etc synced. How can I tell if wifi settings and bluetooth are synced?
Go to backup & reset in settings and check there!
ok, thank you! it is checked, so I guess i'm good to go.
I will wipe "SYSTEM" in TWRP - which wipes the ROM only. I will not do a factory reset in twrp.
Doom, you've been a ton of help!
christ, i tried to install m2 and in says "FAILED"
**** **** ****! I am screwed. why did the flash of the latest m2 fail?
Stuck on Google splash screen
I am re downloading the latest M2 from get.cm to my PC. I guess I can reboot into recovery and try to get the zip onto the phone.
restoring from Nand backup now. UGH. what went wrong with the goomanager m2.zip??

That's what I'm guessing. now my PC won't recognize the nexus...as if the device drivers won't work on my PC. ugh.
after the restore, i'll see if I can get my PC to recognize the device when I plug it in. This is odd.
I ALWAYS download this via PC - then send 'em on my GNexus and then flash aterwards ...
Thanks doom, I am restored to my old M1 rom, but my PC is not recognizing the device, so I can't move the downloaded m2 zip to it just yet. I've got to figure out what is going on with device recognition before trying this again.
My Nexus recognizes that it is connected to a PC as a USB device and I can hear the bleep on my PC that it is connected, but I cannot see the device in windows explorer.Consequently, I cannot move the zip to the device if I cannot "see" it.
Do you get the icon in your comp's status bar that it's connected? Android debugging enabled in settings?
Its actually working now. I launched nexus root toolkit to recheck the drivers and now it magically appears in windows explorer...go figure.
should I also install the latest GAPPS after flashing M2? I was using late 2012 Gapps, but now there is one from 3/1/2013 or will that screw up something?
I don't really know ... Didn't try those out! Neither did I try M2 .. xD
Thanks doom! Flashed the M2 zip and newest 3/1/13 Gapps. No need to set up the phone all over again! I am now on M2 (4.2.2).

[Q] CyanogenMod, PC doesn't recognize

Hi
I have installted CM11 (I prefer Kitkat rather than Lollipop)
Wipe data, cache, dalvik then install cm.zip than gapps.zip
The Rom is work, but..
The PC doesn't recognize it. I don't see the Nexus folder in the computer, so i can't copy any file to the tablet.
(I flashed back stock 4.4.4 and the pc recognize it.)
What did I do wrong? How can i solve this?
Thx

You have to enable USB CONNECTION in settings for that.
It is not enabled by default like in stock rom.
I had the same problem with one of the Nexus/other devices when I updated to MIUI and CM 11. So basically , go into settings and enable USB connection which is in settings>storage.
Do tell me if you have any other query and quote me back in case you expect an answer!
Thx

[Q] TWRP wiped internal memory

Alright so I was trying to install a custom pre-rooted rom for Zenfone 2. I formated the internal memory through TWRP and now I can't really access the internal memory. Sideload isn't working. Push command gives a permission denied error. I think the partitions are messed up.
How do I resolve this?
Thank You
I have the same issue, any help plz

Here is what I did after a lot of trial and error.
1) Download the latest firmware
Can be found here http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/06/full-firmware-zenfone-2-ze551ml-ww-V2.19.40.18.html
2) Copy the firmware in you external SD Card
3) Flash TWRP through fastboot
4) Go into recovery and click on mount, select all
5) Flash the firmware (it will try to create the partition table but fail)
6) Go to wipe (avoid the advance option) type 'yes'.
Once the above is done try flashing the firmware again. (a few errors will load but ignore, flashing will take around 30 minutes)
