Went to install an updated ROM and went into recovery. Wiped. Then went to install ROM and its not there! Crap. I decided to mount and then transfer a ROM, it will not mount! I am stuck in recovery and have no ROM to flash. No backups since changing recoveries.
How can I mount this N7 while in TWRP recovery???
EDIT: In device manager it shows Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface.

TWRP on the N7 doesn't have a "USB Mass Storage" mode like some other phones (or like with 4EXT on my Desire-Z), so you have mainly two options.
1) adb push (or pull) since adb does work while in recovery.
2) Use USB-OTG cable with a thumbdrive
#2 is the method I use and it's quite handy since I pop on a thumbdrive, which TWRP supports even as exFAT and I can restore from, or backup to the thumbdrive directly.
In your case, you just need to plug it in, and do
adb push rom_name.zip /sdcard
adb push gapps.zip /sdcard
then go and flash em (Second line only needed if you need Google Apps for the rom).
This is why knowledge of stuff like adb and fastboot is pretty much a must.

I apparently flashed one too many times and now I am able to only pull up the TWRP recovery but there are no back ups. It seems I wiped them all out unknowingly,it says i have no OS on it now.
My question is; how do I get this up and running again? Any help will be greatly appreciated....
Do you have any TWRP backups stored on your computer? If so, you can use adb to send those backup files to your nexus internal sdcard and restore them through TWRP. You can also put your backup files on a USB stick and connect it with your nexus 7 using a USB-OTG cable (then select external storage in the restoring menu).
If not, then you'll have to (re)flash stock with fastboot. You can use a toolkit or do it manually (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796).
Good luck!

Not sure how to flash a recovery, ADB does recognize my device...TWRP comes up but that's it..
Easiest way would be to sideload a ROM zip using ADB.

You can flash a custom recovery with fastboot:
- Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
- fastboot flash recovery [name of recoveryfile]
I use the most recent TWRP downloaded from their official website.
If you have made a nandroid backup with TWRP, you can restore it in the restore menu in TWRP. Make sure the restore folder is on your internal sdcard or on a USB-stick connected with an OTG-cable.
If you never made a nandroid backup or can not find any:
- then you can flash a (custom) ROM with TWRP. There are lots of good quality roms available in the XDA forums (paranoid android, clockworkmod, stock ....
- or you can flash the original stock from google. You will have to reboot to the bootloader and use fastboot to flash stock (use the link I provided early).
It's not that difficult.
fixed
OTG cable did the trick, absolutely impossible to find the cable in a local store but ordered on e-bay and problem solved.
Thanks for the help....:good:

Do you have a computer? You said something about usb support. You need to plug your usb cord into the computer and connect your nexus 4. It gets a lot more complicated in the next few steps so let me know if you can plug in your nexus 4.

There's 3 main components.
1) Bootloader
2) Recovery
3) System
If you have previous rooted your rom, then you most likely have a custom recovery, such as TWRP or CWM.
If you can get into recovery, then you can mount your data partition, and do something like
adb push name-of-rom-file.zip /sdcard
and any other zips you need.
From there for clean-measure you can format /system , /cache and dalvik-cache, then go to "Install" and choose the rom zip you wish to install (though if you plan on using a rom different than your original you may wish to do a 'factory reset' in recovery to clean the main /data area to avoid settings conflicts).
Once you've installed the roms + addons you want, you should be able to reboot into it.
If you did not root your rom, and likely do not have a custom recovery, that's something that can be installed via fastboot from the bootloader, so let us know which options you have available to you.
This can go easy or hard depending on how much knowledge you have of ADB and Fastboot, or if you instead used a toolkit to do it for you (meaning you wouldn't easily know where to run adb/fastboot).

[HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root #
Sent from my Nexus 4
Hey,
Last night I was thinking about reflashing my phone with a new ROM. I made a backup (it's on my computer now), transferred it to my computer. I installed the ROM files and put them into to clockwordmod folder thinking that they wouldn't be deleted if I deleted /data and /date/media (/sdcard) in the custom recovery under "mounts and storage menu."
I was wrong. It deleted the rom files and now I don't have anything to flash. If I try to reboot to system, it says "Android is upgrading - app 1 of 52" Once that is done, it gets stuck on "Android is upgrading - Loading Apps", or something like that.
What can I do? I heard I could ABD push but I have no idea what that is and how I can do it... Help!?
Any help? Please
Goto cmw and install your ROM via adb.
Under option install zip there will be a choice for flashing zip via adb. Just select that in cmw and connect your phone to laptop.
Now in laptop you should have adb files in a folder and paste your ROM in that adb folder.
Next do as it is written in cmw and it will be flashed

You cant brick your phone as long as fastboot and recovery works.
boot into fastboot.
if your recovery is not working : reflash your recovery
Then boot into recovery and install rom via sideload;
From your pcadb sideload):

Help!? - What you can do is some leg work and look up how to ADB push instead of saying you dont know what that is. Now if you rooted your phone yourself at some point an ADB push was probably done. This is why most hate toolkits(if thats what was used) since it does not help you learn anything.
Search my friend but its like starting from scratch but if you have a working recovery still thats one less step...
adb push -> rom to phone
boot into recovery
flash rom
go on with life......:good:

Hello,
After trying a lot of things and search for half of the day my last chance is now to ask one of you guys for help, please.
Problem:
After I have tried to encrypt the internal storage of my LG G2 via the the previous installed Cyanogenmod 11 this attempt resulted into an error and it has told to me that I should reset to factory stock. This has been worked out as the needed directories havent been found via TWRP recovery. So I have tried to do a hard factory reset as well as a a following format of the internal storage from recovery which brings me now to the boot screen with the LG logo. Not going any further. Not possible to turn the phone off anymore. But I am still able to access the TWRP recovery menu. But as the internal storage has been formated its longer possible to boot up into any ROM.
I am also not able to restore via LG Flash tool, as it is not going any further in download mode.
So I would need help with my last thought of a solution: Pushing a custom (or stock rom) ZIP file via ADP in TWRP to the internal storage, so that I can flash this one again as new operation system. Could someone please give me a precise step to step guide for the ADP slide method as I am unfortunately not good regarding any development tools.
Other methods are more than welcome as well, to re-flash stock or a custom rom to the system, without having access to it in any other way than TWRP.
Mac and Windows operation system is available on a computer. USB driver installed. stock rom kdz file downloaded. But I am not able to move forward. So please help.
Thanks!

Follow this guide and adb push a Rom to your sd. It must be a zip, not a kdz, place it in your root drive like C:\ and don't forget that adb is case sensitive.

Hello,
Thanks for this guide which is really easy to use and I would say my ADB on windows are now ready to push. Unfortunately the ADB are not discovering my devices useing TWRP on it, as the sidemode is not starting up. When I am in TWRP recovery and tapping advanced, tapping adb sidemode it shows me that it would start, but it never tells me that it is started.
Is there any other "entrace" to my devices where I could push a new rom zip file onto it without this TWRP adb sidemode? Or can I reinstall TWRP in any way to "repair" the sidemode feature?

Don't worry too much about sideload just write adb push C:\ROM name /sdcard/ and then just locate it in twrp
If you are sideloading you need to use the adb sideload /path/to/Rom.zip command
Hi,
I was running MAKO L Preview 9002 version and I wanted to change the version, so I download a new ROM and then to Recovery (MultiROM TWRP) and wiped all data and then tried flashing, but got an error.
In haste, I did a complete format and lost even the existing flash zip. I am able to boot into recovery but all data is lost and not able to flash. Please help as I have download a new zip, but am unable to transfer it to the phone as it is not being recognized by the computer.
Please help!!

Lots of ways. you can push files through adb, mount your phone storage in recovery or just flash stock images through adb.
Go into recovery and try adb push rom.zip /sdcard/ from the computer. Must have adb installed.
I'm pretty sure Twrp has an option to mount the sdcard to your computer as usb storage as well.
Finally, keep in mind you can always go back to stock with Google factory images.
