I tried flashing a rom and it wouldn't load past the bootscreen. I am now stuck in recovery and I can't mount my USB storage to flash another rom. Is there a way i can transfer the file from my computer to my phone while in recovery or the bootloader? I am on a Mac running OSX Lion. thanks for the help.

If u are in recovery u can flash ur Android and start again.
You did to a Android backup, didn't you ?

You didn't make a NANDROID BACKUP?!?!?!?!?
I am not sure about the mounting in recovery but I think you can fastboot files to your phone in fastboot mode..
That is all I know.

no, I didn't do a backup stupid mistake on my part i know...
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.

i am in fastboot mode and i have the fastboot comand open in terminal and it recognizes my device, how do i transfer files on it? i havent used it before. i've been searching on how to use fastboot and adb but adb isnt recognizing my device in recovery mode or fastboot mode.

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're welcome. Next time nandroid backup...
But at least now you know how to ADB push.
Hi everyone, i have medium to advanced experience with flashing tools, android drivers, adb, fastboot, recovery mode and so on.
This evening once i installed the OTA Update for my Galaxy Nexus (which was running Android 4.2) the process failed at the end (as usual -.-) and i got stuck at bootloader.
I've wiped it completely ending up with no OS installed on it, nothing on SDCARD (Internal storage in this case).
The problem is that, i have no drivers installed on my PC for this phone.
I've already downloaded the latest version of Android 4.2 to flash (.zip), but there's no way i can transfer the file to the phone without the drivers.
I already tried GNex toolkit but it's stuck on "waiting adb device" (i have no fastboot drivers installed and can't install them because i can't find a easy way to do so).
NexusRootToolkit fails on pushing the zip to the phone and flash also won't work.
Any idea of what can i do now?
I may even pay on paypal for a quick help to get my phone back on working
Get into the bootloader and use fastboot, or if you have a custom recovery installed (sounds like you don't) then you can adb push from there. ADB doesn't exist in the bootloader, only fastboot. Those are your options.

Actually i do have a custom recovery which is CMW, but i can't seem to get my internal storage mounted using i'ts options.
I will try to push the .zip using the ADB on the recovery mode.
After checking the logs i can now see :
Enable to mount /usb-otg
(Using NexusRootToolkit i just flashed TWRP as recovery mode)
Solved : adb push <romname.zip> /sdcard/<romname.zip>
After the push was completed, i flashed the new .zip using TWRP in recovery mode.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Same thing has happened to me and I'm freaking out.

If you have the experience you say you have why do you use a Toolkit? Just learning for myself.
Look for efrant posts, they are the best and most comprehensive even for medium-advanced experience.
With him you will learn everything you need to know, including getting out of trouble and out of.............toolkit.
Just in case (you never know in life) do you have android-sdk installed on your pc?
Good luck in your learning curve ( I am still and will always be in it)

Having similar problem: no OS installed. Got bootloader and TWRP. adb push doesn't work: computer can't find device. how do I get to fastboot? HALP!

Yep, i do have it installed, mainly because i'm a developer myself ; )
I've solved it already, as i've said, pushing the rom using ADB.
The upgrade to 4.2.1 probably failed because i've had the phone rooted.
Thanks for all the support and links by the way

You are mistaken, root doesn't stop a system update. I can vouch for that myself, even though i know that it doesnt matter just from reading some people's posts around here.
You weren't exactly explicit on your first post, so I presume you didnt/dont have the correct baseband version for that specific OTA to apply. Very common.
Oh and if you've never been able to OTA update successfully, it's not "usual" for the rest of us. You should work towards becoming more verbose and objective when troubleshooting. That will make you more experienced.

Try installing the ADB Drivers manually in order for your PC to recognize it.
Have you tried putting it other modes such as Download Mode and check if your pc installs any driver?
You will have to ADB PUSH the OS image to your internal memory and use CW to flash the rom from the sdcard, but you will need the drivers installed or adb wont be able to see your phone
i have the same problem you had...
i read some stuff and installed adb, sdk and whatever...
im trying the " adb push" command, but i think im doing something wrong.

Use "adb sideload c:\users\edgar\downloads\abc.zip". "adb push" is for transferring files from PC to phone, not flashing.

adb sideload does both transferring and flashing within a single command. The "sideloaded" ZIP gets saved as "sideload.zip" under the root of the storage.

Try /storage/sdcard0
But if that doesnt work, reboot to bootloader and flash stock userdata.img through fastboot; reboot to recovery right after that, push rom.

i have TWRP recovery but there is nothing on the sd card to flash from, how do i push files to the sd card from the computer?
I tried use the nexus root toolkit but i get "fastboot device not found" even though the bootloader says that it is in fastboot mode.
please help
nope that didnt work either but i found a work around. i had never played with CWM's sideload feature. FOR FUTURE GOOGLE GOERS
NOTE: you need CWM 6.0.1.5 and above i think
reboot into recovery
select install from sideload
make sure drivers are installed (i used the universal android drivers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942)
open up adb in cmd (hopefully you have adb in your com)
and type "adb sideload <filename.zip>" without quotes or the little arrows
and you should see it start copying
I would like CWM and TWRP for using this in their recovery!!!!!

Thank you. I tried doing that but it wasn't any help. however, i figured how to sideload using the TWRP setting. It took a little trial and error but finally got it to work.
i don't see how can you guys not get it to work through normal adb, other than you're using Windows, but glad you got it to work.
Glad to hear you are up and running again. Sorry i just always had great luck with his toolkit. Adb was always failsafe too.

I did a full wipe of the phone and SD card and was unable to see my phone in adb while in CWM recovery.
I run the push command any way and it did push to the file to the phone.
I push the file to /data/media/ no need to mount SDcard as it doesn't have a real one, in the past (while using ics) I have had to mount data to push files to /sdcard/
Hello. I currently have 2 S4 minis (I19195). One works perfectly and is mine. I also have only one SD card. I was in the process of installing CM on the new one and I wiped the SD card by accident (it contained the CM installation and gapps package).
The SD card refuses to work with either device now and I don't have a card reader.
The device currently has no OS on it. It's got CWM working, though. I need to get it running ASAP.
Is there a way to a) fix the card or b)get the CM files on it somehow or c)install CM solely through odin?
EDIT: I should also mention it refuses to mount USB storage through CWM.
In CWM you should be able to use adb. Try using adb push to upload files from your computer to the internal sd

The problem is I have no way to access the internal sd card (other than odin, unless that's what you meant).
Also I tried flashing stock back onto it, which failed, and now I get a screen saying "Firmware upgrade enctountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I also seem not to be able to enter into recovery anymore, just download mode.

Boot into recovery and then from a cmd prompt on your pc type adb devices. It should show your device. If it does then, adb push rom.zip /sdcard. Where rom.zip is a rom you have on your pc and can push it to your device

Yep that's exactly what I did.
Anyway, I was just about to post everything I ever did to the phone to clarify. However I figured I should flash CWM once again and maybe get that to work.
After doing that and rebooting the phone EVERYTHING works, it booted straight into the OS and I just finished installing CM which works now. I'm not even going to pretend I understand what happened (and I have a degree in computer science...). Anyway, I'm very happy it works, and thank you both so much for helping me out!

Hello. I need your help. I have the LG E980 with 4.4.2. I was trying to set this up as a spare phone but for some reason could not get an email program to work with my companies "Notes Traveler" program. I'm able to achieve syncing with my S4 active though. I oulled the email APK off of the S4 active and that resolved the problem temporarily. I read up and found out that the CM11 ROM would resolve this issue. Anyway, I installed a recovery program and did a nanodroid back up only to realize that my EXT_SD card was not being recognized. Si I did a factory reset now I get a boot error and can only get to the recovery program.
It will not recognize my external SD card and I'm afraid that possibly I corrupted the boot image or recovery? Any suggestions how to get out of this boot? Is there a way I can drag a Update.Zip to the internal SD card and it will completely over write boot and all files?

This Fix solved my boot only to recovery bug, but if your cwm is not reading your external, you could try sideloading it through adb if your cwm version has that. Copy the fix to your adb folder, connect your phone to pc, select install zip through sideload in the recovery, open adb, type adb sideload fix.zip or if nothing works just use lgflashtool and kdz back to stock.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not good at all with ADB would you mind telling me exactly what to type (spacing, etc)? I've tried ADB before and must have been entering the wrong sequence or spacing. On my S4 I simply used ODIN and loaded a Deodexed version.

Glad it worked The sd card is not getting detected atall or just recovery? if its just recovery, some recoveries wont see the sd card, you can just flash another recovery to fix that. If its not being detected once it boots up too then i have no clue what the problem is. Try flashing another rom and see if it detects it.

In recovery it shows "external sd card" then when I tried to flash it says " can't mount sd card". Also, I've tried my 64 gb card that's in my samsung and that does not work either. When it boots up it says "sd card inserted".
How do I flash another recovery or go back to stock recovery? I think something is corrupted in recovery because when I did a factory reset again to clear things up I got the boot error and had to do the process all over that you posted.
This is the recovery i always use, its philz touch. You can flash it the same way u flashed the fix, copy the zip to adb folder and sideloading it using adb sideload filename.zip. I cant guarantee that everything will work but if everything goes downhill, you will have to kdz back to stock using the steps from here . If the sd card isnt getting detected after boot too, i really have no idea what the issue is.
