Made the mistake of wiping all data on my SGS3 (AT&T), rooted, etc.
I'm in TWRP (2.3.3.1) and I want to load a new ROM .zip file via USB cable from my Macbook (OSX).
How can I do this?? Tried mounting internal storage, but nothing happened. I'm basically bricked until I can get another Zip on the phone! Help please!!
You dont have a backup on the phone you can restore or a rom you downloaded that you can flash?
If you have odin (if available for mac) you can use that to put an odin flashable rom onto the phone.

Odin isn't available for Mac.
I have ROMs to install, but they're on the Mac, and not on the phone..... it is wiped (except for the TWRP recovery).

ODIN is not available for MacOS X, but you can use another software called Heimdall (http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/) to flash a stock ROM into your phone.
Another way to make a (custom) ROM available to flash in TWRP would be to use a microSD card. Use a microSD card reader connected to your computer, and copy your desired ROM into the microSD card. Then, place the microSD card into your phone. TWRP should be able to read the content of your microSD card, and flash the ROM.
Finally, a third way -- I never used that, though -- would be to use ADB sideload capability to sideload a ROM into your phone using ADB. More info about this in the TWRP site (http://teamw.in/ADBSideload).
I don't think you can USB mount your phone into your computer and manage the internal and external storages from your computer while in TWRP.
Or... Get adb for Mac and just do adb push <zip> /sdcard/<zip>
Then navigate to it in TWRP and install.

That's not useful at all. That is one of the worst pieces of software ever.

But these two solutions need a running ROM, right? Or can you connect to your phone through ADB or through MTP while you are in TWRP?
Because Hog Milanese's problem is he wiped his ROM and does not have a ROM in his phone right now. Taking a quick look at TWRP's options, I did not find a way to MTP-connect the phone to a computer nor enable ADB (except for the ADB sideload command) while in TWRP... They work when in ROM, but not when in recovery.

Grab an SD card, out pop it out of your phone, copy zip, plug back in, reboot recovery do it mounts your SD and flash away.

ADB is on by default in TWRP. I've pushed many files to it while in recovery.

Did this problem ever get solved? I have a few roms on my Mac, but can't get them onto my device because I don't have a ROM installed but I am in TRWP recovery
I don't know the commands to push a zip to my computer through sideload

Oh yeah, I can't use a microsd because I am using an HTC one, but I feel like sideload process should be the same
Same situation-MAC without microSD on an original kindle fire

I can't figure a way to get this to work. I'm on a macpro I have TWRP on an original Kindle fire. (TWRP was rooted with a crappy windows 7 desktop that I got rid of.) No roms are currently loaded on the kindle. I can't get the MAC to recognize the Kindle.
I have tried "Android File Transfer" <- worthless... I have also tried my wife's Win10 laptop. <-less worthless but no hope. It seems like the old ways of forcing the driver wont work on Win10.
I'm a little bummed out about how software is forcing hardware to be obsolete.
If the device has TWRP, there is an option to mount data partition?

It has a data partition, but there is no way to access the hard drive on the kindle. I am in the process of making a fastboot usb cable to test and see if I can access it on a Mac. I'll let you know how it goes.
FWIW - the following worked for me - downloading and running AndroidFileTransfer.app on macOS Sierra with my Nexus6 connected via USB booted into TWRP v3.1.0 - file transfer worked without issue. Not sure if newer versions fixed past problems reported by others, but this was working without any work - very grateful to the person who mentioned the androidfiletransfer app!
I was facing same issue... What I found ---
> adb doesn't work while in recovery mode
I was able to copy ROM from Mac to phone by following below steps:
1) Go to fastboot mode
2) fastboot boot recovery.img (any twrp image) -- android file transfer should be able to detect device now as twrp has adb enabled and phone is not in recovery mode
3) Copy your Rom to your phone
4) Fom TWRP : reboot>recovery
5) Install custom ROM and reboot to system
Hope this helps out.
Hi,
I'm trying to install paranoid rom for galaxy nexus.
I updated the twrp recovery and I checked all this option and then I wiped the smartphone
Dalvik Cache
Cache
System
Data
External SDCard
USB--OTG
now I want copy the .zip rom files into the sd and install it via twrp but I don't know how to copy the .zip into the sd.
If I try to plug the device to computer I cannot see it.
I can access to twrp recovery and explore the file system so I think there is a way to copy some files into the phone.
What can I do?
thanks for help

Do you still able to boot into recovery. Try installing ROM via fastboot
If adb drivers are installed correctly, u can flash ROM zip via sideload
Code:
adb sideload rom.zip
Also you can push files to sdcard via adb
Code:
adb push xyz.zip /sdcard/xyz.zip

ok, I solved using fastboot
but I have a new problem now... I can't boot into recovery (isn't this ironic?)
I flash the twrp for galaxy nexus in this way:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery......
and it seems flashed but when I try to boot into twrp it failed and reboot the operating system
I also tried to flash twrp via gooManager... it says "recovery has been installed" but I get the same problem

try with nexus root tool kit
So I have a new oneplus 3. I rooted it, installed TWRP and flashed cyanogen mod. I couldn't receive incoming calls so I figured that should factory reset using TWRP. I messed up and deleted all files, including the internal storage. My phone has no os to boot from, no backups and now it has no roms due to the wiping. It can only boot to TWRP and fastboot. It's being recognized as "google nexus adb interface" by the device manager when booted into TWRP and connected. I just need a way to transfer the files from my pc to the phone so I can flash them. Please help me. (By the way, I'm fairly new to this whole rooting and flashing experience so please keep that in mind when providing a solution)
Try flashing with an OTG adapter and a Rom on a USB stick or google "how to use adb sideload" there are youtube tutorials for both of that, used them a few days ago

This has happend to me before with my old android device.
Boot up TWRP and mount the device as MTP storage and plug the phone into your computer [Make sure you have the right drivers installed] Transfer a ROM of your choice to the device and install it like any other ROM. :good:
EDIT: Through another thread I found a solution, if you are booted into recovery mode then the files transfer over to your pc no problem with ADB pull. They are only protected when the phone is not in recovery mode.
I am trying to copy and paste a TWRP backup I created for my phone which is located at:
storage/emulated/0/TWRP/BACKUPS
However trying to copy it over via windows file explorer doesn't appear to work for some files, they appear to be protected? One file in particular seems untouchable: "boot.emmc.win". I can't even copy and paste this file within my phone. I have been trying to use ADB Pull to move it as well but permission is denied. I have USB debugging enabled.
I am sure other people have had similar problems before but nothing I found with google helped.
I am currently running:
Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551KL (Z00T)
TWRP version 3.0.2-5
Clean install (<1 week old) of CM13 Version "cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J9-Z00T"
Why "solved"?
I cant copy any twrp backup to PC as before - drag and drop.
TWRP issue? My is 3.0.2.1 but 3.0.2.0 has got the same issue.
My Nexus is encrypted so what the hell?

Solved because I solved the issue and edited my post to include the solution. If you are having issues with a different phone model perhaps you should open a different thread over in the relevant nexus threads.
It's not a phone, it's just boot.emmc.win which one can't copy from phone to PC. I'm going to move to TWRP. Thanks

Sounds like you are having the same exact problem as me, thats the same file I couldn't copy over. Did you read my post regarding the solution? Everything should work fine as long as you reboot into recovery mode first.
In recovery mode drag&drop works gr8! Thanks!
3.0.3.0 still the same issue
software status modified i wand to use linieageos with gapps and recovery TWRP somone to help me stap by step and save my life!!!!
love you all
You need to download the latest twrp for the Z2F/Nash from the TWRP site. One of the files is the twrp installer, which should be moved to your z2's sdcard. The img file stays on a PC.
Before you do anything, the Android platform tools should be present. Or you can instead install minimal adb/fastboot from XDA. Once you boot twrp you have to format data and type yes, so the rom and other files should be on an SD card. Alternatively, one may opt for adb sideload.
1.Flash LOS. Without rebooting, flash the twrp installer otherwise it won't stick.
2.Reboot recovery and flash gapps, then reboot recovery again
3. Reboot system
