Do you have adb + the drivers installed? If not, do so now and then adb push the files to the phone. adb will work even if you're in recovery. Should be plenty of write ups on the forum about how to install and set up the required stuff.

is been a long time since I pushed files useing adb Im sure it will come back to me. Should I change to clockworks to avoid this in the future? Why is it not mounting

It can't be on the Nexus 4. If you don't have the files on your phone it's your only option at this point.
Edit: CWM vs TWRP wouldn't make a difference in this case.

You cant mount it as USB storage in recovery mode. I normally download the new ROM I want to flash before going into recovery so that I don't have to use adb to push it.

Please i need help to recover my tab

the story goes like this, I flash TWRP 2.2.0 did a nandroid and deleted all the necessary partitions to install the new rom, I put the rom in the SD card, TWRP is not mounting the sd card wich happens to work flawlessly in my phone, and pc, now i cant access the internal storage nor the sdcard, Please I dont know what to do anymore i cant get my cpuid because my tablet does not have an os so i cant select usb debugging, i cant access my internal storage either from the pc, im using skrilax-oz bootloader v7, the computer only recognizes the tablet in fastboot, how can i put a recovery in it via the bootloader in fastboot if posible.
If your PC will recognize Fastboot (you should have it listed in Device manager when you go to fastboot with Skirlaz Bootloader), then the easiest thing would be to get the proper recovery .img file. I suggest EZTerry Public revovery, or CWM. Most recent versions of both. Your choice. You can find CWM recovery image at tegraowners, or get the Public Recovery from the XDA Dev forum.
Boot your tab to fastboot.
Make sure the xxxxxxxxrecovery.img file is in the same folder as your Android/Android-sdk/Platform-tools folder. (has to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe)
Then open a Command window in that folder
Type fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxrecovery.img
Then hit enter
Remember, where xxxxxxxrecovery,img is the name of the recovery image.
This should hook you up.

Can you still go into recovery by power+volume down? If yes, then go back into trwp recovery and do the following. Mount option >click mount sd card and using external sd. Once you have those options clicked, go back to install option. There you will be able to access your external sd card. I think the best recovery to use now is thor 1.7.3.
Good luck,

it wont mount, that is why im having such a big issue trying to install a new recovery or flash the rom in the external sd card.
Ok, you have 2 different threads going. In this thread, you didn't mention anything about formatting your internal storage. This is why XDA has a rule about posting the same thing in multiple forums. Chances are you say something in one, and not the other. And what you will get is sometimes not good info, or even worse, no response.
Dees-troy and I have posted possible solutions. Problem is, other people get confused when they see it.
That little bit of missing info between the multiple posts can mean a big thing.
I will let it slide this time. Next time, I will delete one or the other.

TWRP is a good recovery. And it works for most. As with most recovery systems, it will have times when things don't work correctly. Call it a "hic-cup". And the only thing to do, is totally install something else. Works most of the time.
Dees Troy is a darn good Dev. And we're grateful to have him around. In this case, you had to do something radical to shock the system. Works every time
Also, throw a Thanks to Skirlax_CZ for the bootloader and the fastboot capability. If you didn't have that, your "stuff would be hanging in the breeze" about now.

[HELP] Accidentally formated SDCARD!

So I rooted, then put CM10.1 nightly and gapps on my sdcard, then went to flash, and I spaced out and accidentally formatted SDCARD when i know that I shouldnt have. crap.
i tried using the "sideload" feature but it wouldnt work on my adb-mac version, i also tried adb pushing ROM files to SDCARD, it says transfered but when i go to flash it says no files in SDCARD, I also tried pushing to SDCARD/0 but i get an error that it isnt a directory since it is formatted.
SOME ONE PLEASE give me instructions on what to do. Do I have to go back to stock or can I just get this to go straight to CM10.1? Id prefer straight to CM10.1 obviously.

So you've successfully flashed a recovery img via fasboot? Did you also push a copy of the ROM zip back to your phone?
Boot to recovery and then adb push the ROM to the sd card.
Code:
adb push yourROMsName.zip /sdcard/
The above code assumes you've placed the rom zip in the adb or platform-tools folder on your PC.
Can't you just boot into fastboot, flash a recovery, boot into said recovery and mount the internal storage and drag and drop the files from your computer?
How did you format the SD card when the phone doesn't have one?

yes i did repush the rom file. this isnt working because i dont believe that flashing a recovery adds folder/partition information to the sdcard. maybe im wrong, but it didnt work.

Yeah but doesn't the Nexus 4 lump all the internal storage together, I know other devices like the OXL have like 6GB internal storage and then a 'simulated' mSD card of about 10GB, making 16GB total. But the Nexus 4 uses the whole 16GB (or 8GB) as internal storage.

yes definitely agreed.
although ive always wanted to try one, and it worked! if this were to happen again (if i dont shoot myself) then i will be doing it manually.
Thanks so much to everyone for all the help! I am now running Official CM10.1 Nightly (newest) and running beautifully so far. This is my second N4 tho, so I will be using my 1st stock one for today since its already setup, have to go to work now and will setup my new CM10.1 N4 later, hopefully wont find any crazy bugs...
I had the same problem and after reading this thread I tried the Fastboot method first:
after I finished it didnt boot so I continue with the inst', then it booted but only with 8GB, so I continue with the inst' and from that stage it just didnt boot.
At the end I tried the root toolkit V1.6.2 and the phone back to life with stock rom and 16GB.
I'm back to stock now. But I've used the sideload successfully. After you get your phone restored, you'll probably want to do a full factory reset because some of your pushes have probably gone through and are now eating up space. You can't delete them that I know of unless you FULLY format.
ANYWAY
When I got sideload to work, I had to push it to /sdcard/0/, /sdcard0/, or something like that. Wish I could be more specific, but I don't want to change from stock to install cwm (the ROMS have too many bugs so far, and we might be getting 4.2.2)
The key is finding the right directory to push it to. Experiment with slashes, and it SHOULD work.

[Q] Nexus 4 No OS. Only fastboot [SOLVED]

I recently tried to flash PA on my nexus.
Installed cwm on my phone. Then downloaded the PA ROM and moved to the device storage.
Rebooted into CWM and performed all the wipes.
I accidentally wiped the system and the internel partitions too.
when i tried to install ROM from sdcard. it says "NO FILES FOUND"
Iam stuck here. Phone wont boot into Android... any suggestions? please help!
How did you wipe system within CWM?
But since you say you wiped internal partitions too, it seems to me that you wiped your internal emulated sdcard... so I think your only option now is to flash stock images again... Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
If you don't want to flash the stock images you can also push a rom to your phone with adb while booted in a custom recovery
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
Thanks guys. Found a solution.
Flashed TWRP and sideloaded the ROM file. And flashed it.
Earlier the same process with CWM was not successful. Now the phone is loaded with PA ROM!
Thanks guys! and can u point me to the google stock images??

wiped /system? have you tried simple re-flashing your ROM from the .zip ?
no worry... download the nexus 4 twrp latest img from their site, and flash it to your N4
what you needed:
twrp img file
some n4 rom
adb and fastboot
instructions:
boot to fastboot, vol key down + powerbutton when n4 is off.
on your comp, , dos/terminal - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
reboot in recovery
select the adb side load from advanced tab in the twrp.
on your comp - adb sideload rom.zip
everything done....reboot phone.

did you wipe using fastboot erase command? if so, you need to re-format to the android supported file system to access the partitions!
try installing the twrp recovery and perform 'FORMAT DATA' from wipe. then install ROM.

[Q] Nexus 4 with No OS - Bricked?

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

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:

Can you still boot in to TWRP or do you get stock recovery? I'm not sure why you can't copy Chroma over but if you can still boot in to TWRP it allows you to mount USB storage. I haven't tried this option myself but you may be able to flash Chroma from an external storage device. You can also boot in to bootloader and follow Heisenberg's guide listed in the index and fastboot the stock images which is probably your best bet.
What happens when you try to move the file over? Have you tried to adb push the file over like so:
Code:
adb push [I]file_location_on_computer[/I] /sdcard

Additionally, if you can't push the Chroma file to your phone, you can flash back to stock using Heisenberg's guide here (step 11) then do step 7 to install Chroma.

So what exactly happens when you try to either copy or push the file over to the phone? Does it error out? Gonna need some more information. And I edited my previous post to include some instructions to get back to stock with fastboot if that is easier for you.

If you flash the stock recovery image, you will need to reflash TWRP. I usually just omit that command when flashing back to stock so I don't have to reflash TWRP.
