I recently rooted my Nexus 10 and was wiping by data and system partitions for a fresh install of CM10, and I accidentally chose format all data. So my device is wiped except for TWRP.
I was hoping to just plug it back into my comp. and copy the zip over to install but even though my computer sees the device it doesnt show as removable storage,
I also tried to use adb sideload, but i get the error "failed to write data 'protocol fault <no status>'
Does anyone have advice for how I can get that zip back on my tablet.
In TWRP, select mount, then mount usb drive. Plug into your pc and it should it appear as a usb drive for you to copy the rom or zip.
Edit. It appears that the nexus 10 version of TWRP does not have this option.
Instead, you could use an otg cable and flash drive and copy it to your n10 with TWRP's built in file manager.

Folks - Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was trying to instal CM-10.1 on my U8800, copied the file downloaded from here on my SD card and used CWM to install. Forgot to make a backup (Noob mistake ).
The software didn't fully install and now the the problem is that while I can access both CWM Mod Recovery and the pink screen, I am unable to mound the external sd card (cannot write to ums lunfile) and neither are the drives showing up when I connect to the pc via USB in pink screen.
Very worried on how to install a rom as both internal and external sd cards are inaccessible by pc and phone respectively.
You can use adb push while cwm is running.

I'm not sure how to do that. I've just done a few google searches, not sure if I have the right results. Would you have any link/tutorial ?
If you haven't done so already, download and install the Android SDK from developer.google.com.
What you want from it is the debug driver and adb.
Then boot your device into CWM and connect it to computer, use the debug driver from the SDK.
Mount internal storage in CWM and check its mount location.
Open the folder where adb.exe is located on your computer and copy your ROM.zip to that folder.
Open a command prompt there and type "adb devices", your device should show up in the list.
Then type "adb push ROM.zip /mnt/sdcard/ROM.zip" to copy the file. (replace /mnt/sdcard if your internal storage is mounted elsewhere)
Good luck and be careful, I'm just trying to help but I'm not responsible if you do something without using some common sense.

So I have rooted and installed cwm recovery, and when I go into recovery mode and try to mount /external_sd nothing happens.
Recovery acts like it is mounted, but my computer detects nothing.
I have tried different cwm recovery versions and I'm getting the same result.
Is this because of the way the Razr itself mounts storage, ie. one device with multiple drives inside and no driver letter, or am I doing something wrong?
Also, when I make a backup, I cannot find it with either Windows Explorer or with a file manager on the device. Recovery can find it and restore from it, but I cannot move this folder around in case I need to wipe it, or just save space.
EDIT
I flashed twrp and the mounting issue persists. I am, however, able to find the backups it makes, I think I will just stick with twrp. Now I just need to find that 1.5gb of backups somewhere on the internal memory and delete them for space
hi
i wiped twrp, advanced wipe. i wiped dalvik/art,cache/system,data,internal storage and usb otg.
i am trying to copy and paste oneplus rom onto phone internal storage. The laptop shows copy window but never transfers file over to phone.
any ideas
You'll have to search how to do it using ADB.
There's a toolkit somewhere in this section. It can be helpful as well.
Good luck
Guys, need help. I've selected "Wipe Data" in TWRP 3.5.2 and am now stuck. The phone does not appear in Windows. I don't know how to copy ROM file into it...

First of all, do you know what you really did?
In the title you say FORMAT, here you say WIPE - which of the two you did???
Both options exist in the TWRP, but they are DIFFERENT things
When installing a different ROM, you have to FORMAT Data (not Wipe) - hence do it to make sure you would later not have problems
Second, you first had to flash the ROM, then Format Data.
But ok, now you still have two options:
- use an USB OTG stick, copy your ROM to OTG and then navigate in TWRP to OTG and flash the ROM from OTG
- Format Data, stay in TWRP and connect your phone by USB to PC, wait until it installs the drivers to PC and you will be able to copy your files from PC to Internal memory while in TWRP (TWRP also supports MTP)

Thank you!
So apparently steps to fix this, were to flash an older TWRP 3.4.0 (don't know why 3.5 was not behaving) AND install Android driver from MiFlash dialogue... (Also don't know why as before the formatting, phone was detected alright with older driver).
Then the phone appeared in windows folder and I was able to copy files onto it
