Need urgent help, lost and confused.

Hello XDA, I got my Galaxy Nexus stock and OTA upgraded it to 4.1.1 Jellybean. I unlocked and rooted the phone and while installing roms I accidentally formatted and factory reseted my phone. I can get into boot loader, and I have CWM installed. If I could just move a rom onto the phone I could boot it. Problem is I cant figure out how to. Keep in mind I am also using a mac. Can anyone help me figure out how to push a rom zip onto the sdcard? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You can abd push from a custom recovery

Alright so USB debugging isnt on but I can still use adb commands? How?

You have to boot into a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and use adb commands.
for ex. adb push NameOfRom.zip /sdcard/

I just tried that and my terminal returned
device not found

Don't mount anything don't do anything special in recovery at all.
You're booted into recovery?
Also...I found when I wasn't using naked drivers that it took ~30 seconds for ADB to actually be recognized.
Maybe wait a minute and try again.
If not unplug and plug in.

I can use fastboot commands and it it recognized in fastboot, can I flash a stock rom from this mode?

If you're using fastboot...that means you're not in custom recovery.
Navigate to recovery in that menu.
Or use fastboot boot ______________.img to boot into a custom recovery if you have one downloaded and in your platform tools directory.
But yes, you COULD do that.
But I wouldn't yet.
You'll lose all of your data/apps/etc.

There is nothing on my phone, I have CWM installed, however there are no ROMs on the sdcard to flash through CWM. How would I move a file onto my sdcard that I could flash with CWM via fast boot?

Good luck.

You don't flash fastboot images via CWM. If you have CWM installed & you're booted in to bootloader (fastboot) mode use the volume keys to reboot into recovery

I tried pushing a zip to the phone while using adb and a custom recovery. My terminal says it pushed the files to my SD card, however when I go to install the zip, no files appear. Even when I restart recovery there are still no zips found. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Maybe try...
adb push NameOfRom.zip /sdcard/NameOfRom.zip
or
adb push NameOfRom.zip /data/media/NameOfRom.zip

[Q] How do I flash stock recovery?

Hey everyone,
Like the title says, how do I flash stock recovery? Right now I have TWRP (?) and my device is rooted, but I want the stock recovery back and keep root. Please explain and provide a download if required.
Thanks in advance XDA!

If you flashed TWRP manually just repeat the process but use a stock recovery image instead of the twrp image. If you used a one click root tool I suggest you read some of the sticky threads and tutorials to learn how to flash things manually so you can change whatever you want in the future. There are one click restore methods too if you look around for them.

1) Download the stock recovery (found all over this forum) into the same folder as your ADB files.
2) Go to fastboot/bootloader mode on your N7.
3) Open up command window in folder with ADB files.
4) Enter : fastboot flash recovery <nameofrecovery>.img
5) Drink a beer.

Thank you both very much foe the detailed explanations. I will try to flash the stock as soon as possible and let you know how it went. Once again, thanks!
Kind regards,

I tried a few times but when booting into recovery it still gets me to TWRP. I probably did something wrong somewhere. It's late so I'll try again tomorrow. This is my first nexus device and the reason I want stock recovery is so I can still receive over the air updates while being rooted. If I want over the air updates, that is the way to go right?

[Q] Stuck on flashing

I accidentally deleted the files inside internal storage via TWRP->Delete Internal Storage. And voila!
I already used 1-click restore and I got stuck at sending 'system' for 3hrs++ and also tried NRT Flash Stock + Unroot mode and also stuck at flashing.
What else can I do?

Try using ADB Sideload. (Google it please). It should work with your problem as long as you have the drivers on your computer and ADB installed.

I still have a problem, I cannot transfer file through adb sideload(temporarily boot to TWRP using WugFresh's NRT). I think root privilege has something to do with this because when I type adb root it says locked.
Fastboot is not also my option now. because I'm stuck at sending system..
--- I thought my stock recovery is not working geez. haha! I just rape the vol up and power button and the wild stock recovery appeared! yeaah! I'm now sending update.zip via adb sideload. after 2 days!!!! yeaah!

Arrggh. ADB Sideload sending always stops at 58%. Any tips?

FINALLY! After !()#@()# years.;D haha! I've updated to stock via ADB Sideload with the right OEM USB Cable. Yeaah!:>

I must be stupid -- I cannot flash KitKat on my 2013 N7

Note: everything stock on my 2013 N7... locked bootloader, stock recovery and not rooted...
Followed the instructions for downloading & manually flashing kitkat OTA here:
www.androidpolice.com/2013/11/13/yo...4-4-ota-update-krt16o-for-2013-wi-fi-nexus-7/
Noted this from the instructions:
"You don't need a USB cable if you're just planning to download the OTA zip directly to your device and flash it from recovery."
When I booted into stock recovery there is no option to flash the update.zip... only option is to sideload update via ADB..

Sideload. Do you have the Android SDK installed? If not, do you at least have the basic tools? ADB, Fastboot,etc? If so...
Enter sideload mode.
put the update.zip file in that folder ( with the adb exe) and open a command window (with nothing selected, hold shift and right click in the empty area in that folder. Click on "open command window here"). (Windows instructions) type adb sideload <filename>.zip <Enter>
That should push the file to your device, and immediately flash it.

I have a PC.. and ADB. But the article said that it could be done on the device... poorly written article ... made it sound like it could be flashed sans PC from a stock device... guess not...

Yes, if your bootloader is unlocked and you have a custom recovery installed. You should be able to download it to the device, then flash it with the custom recovery.

[Q] OTA updates failing

Anyone able to tell me how to get the OTA updates to work again?
Phone was originally rooted but deleted the root and also added teamwin recovery
Not sure what to do but notifications of the update are annoying me
Thanks in advance!

There's your problem.
You need stock recovery for OTAs not custom recoveries.

How do I remove it?

If you don't have a backup of your stock recovery on PC then you can download stock recovery from this thread
Extract the recovery to the folder where adb/fastboot is in, by default this will be in the platform-tools folder for the SDK kit.
Connect your device to the pc.
Hold shift and right click in window(tools folder) open command prompt - or open command prompt and change directory to location of fastboot/recovery.img (You should have done this before when you flash the custom recovery so you should know where the folder etc is).
Type: adb devices - check if device gets picked up, should show you your serial number for the device.
Type: adb reboot bootloader
Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Type: fastboot reboot
Done.
Stock recovery will then be on device again, it'll reboot and once done you should be able to install OTA update. :good:

Great many thanks

Alrighty, no problem! =oD

Just hooked phone up to computer and flashed new recovery, now showing as 1.54.401.10 - cheers for helping with update
