[Q] EMERGENCY: Recovery doesn't mount USB!

Hello,
after trying out a few roms i wanted to go back to stock and wanted to have a completely clean device.
So i went booted to TWRP recovery and wiped everything i could (including the currently installed ROM and internal storage).
So I wanted to mount USB to copy the ROM on my device but it doesn't connect to the PC.
So I'm stuck in recovery and have no idea how to connect it.
I hear the sound of the PC recognizing a USB connection but then comes that USB error sound you hear when it fails to connect.
Please help

Of course it doesn't. Internal storage is not UMS.
Use adb to push files.
Also, if you want to go back to stock you don't use recovery. Use the bootloader and fastboot.

Can you please explain why UMS had been disabled on custom ROMs? It was so easy to transfer data to memory using UMS!

I did try to push via adb but as I said the USB didn't connect
but thanks I did go back to the thread u posted and noticed there are two links for the drivers
it seems that the 2nd one (it's the one I had installed) doesn't actually include adb drivers so my device couldn't connect
well so I installed the drivers from the first link and it's resolved thanks a lot!

[Q] PLEASE HELP!!! Cannot connect to computer!!!

Hey everyone, thanks in advance for the help. I just got a nexus 4 yesterday, that was already updated to 4.3 when I got it. My problem is when I go to unlock the boot loader, it won't recognize the phone. It says "list of devices attached" but doesn't give a serial number. Also, before this, it was giving a serial number, but was saying it was offline. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Any help is most appreciated.

You might need updated adb/fastboot exe/dll's. Grab them from a toolkit, that's what I did.

Try this... When you're connected to the PC , toggle USB debugging off and on.. It might ask for authorisation of ur PC in your phone.. Give yes.. Then do adb devices .. You might fight the offline thing gone

I did that, got it to boot into boot loader through adb, then my fastboot drivers wouldn't install. So I uninstalled everything and started from scratch and now I can't even get the serial number to come up.

Hmm.. doesn't it get shown as Android devices under device manager?
I too had a similar kind of problem with adb. I uninstalled the drivers manually and installed it again using Koush's Universal ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Driver for Windows. It has fastboot thing also. It worked for me.

You can also try someone else's PC or something. Install the drivers using the above link and just fastboot. Sorry, if that is of not much help. I'm new, both to this place and to this Nexus 4 device as well. All the best.

Do you have basic knowledge of ADB and fastboot? If yes, you can download factory images and then flash them in fastboot.

If you can get into the bootloader screen you can use fastboot to restore the factory image to your phone, follow the instruction in the links in my signature. There are probably youtube videos as well that can guide you through the process.

Evil evil wipe!

Can you please helpme with that or can you be more specific
Thanks

Just Google wug's nexus tool. I think it's version 1.74 or something now. Install it and follow directions. I forget if you need factory images already installed for it to work.
I got out of a similar jam earlier. You may have to flash everything thorough fastboot manually though.

Use the Universal Naked Driver in my signature, you might need to disable driver signature checking before installing it. If you can't get it to install, try the Google USB driver.
It looks like the bootloader is damaged for your device, this is your last hope at recovering it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347060

Can you please helpme ?
I try to use many unbrick methods
like the unbrick method with the download mode (can't acces to download mode)
the unbrick method with the fastboot (can't acces to fastboot)
tried the unbrick method with Nexus root Toolkit (in the mode softbricked/bootloop) but doesnt work need fastboot (can't enter in fastboot)
Can't use ADB !!
determinated all unbrick methods need fastboot, download mode, adb or something but NOTHING WORKS !!!
just the unique thing is my computer detect as QHUSB_DLOAD (qualcom driver or something like that) apparently is using the port COM5 but not sure :crying:
Any ideas would be appreciated or any tut :crying::crying: im desesperated and now hate a lot my EXgf yes now is EX !!!

I've already post above the link to restore your device using download mode, try it. Try using a different PC to get the device detected.
I think you should sort your personal life first if you break up with someone due to a careless mistake on a relatively cheap device.

I owe you more than that thanks. This is incredibly useful info!
Backstory:
Flashed 800 radio on 802 (curiousity...)
Didn't have 802 radio on device to flash back
802 in bootloops
google usb drivers wouldn't install
 @lingarajug saved my sanity and taught me something
I love how much I can learn on xda-dev...

Hahahahahhahahaha they say curiosity killed the cat, I was in the worst situation like you were but I tried copying new Rom and gapps to sdcard and flash and went into recovery and curiously cleaned everything in advanced wipe and left with phone with no Rom to boot and no file to flash I did sleep all night and finally my old ideas came through and found pdanet and since then have been spreading this message around, glad that it helped u.

Nexus 4 No OS Installed TWRP

Guys I need your help.
I have Nexus 4 16GB pre owned. Bought it with Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed already and rooted. Then CM11 nightlies came and I installed it OTA but it seems that it has a lot of bugs so I rolled back to CM10. When I rolled back and rebooted, it does not come up (Google and Cyanogenmod logo only). I rebooted it to bootload mode, then recovery (TWRP) and accidentally wiped out everything including ROM/OS. I don't have that much knowledge in restoring my phone. I tried connecting it to PC (WinXP) and it does not recognize the device. Tried everything posted in different forums on how to connect my device to PC but to no avail. Cannot do USB debugging thing 'cause I can only utilize device's recovery mode (TWRP). I'm thinking now on having this device repaired by cellphone repair shop just to install OS.Anyone can help? Other forums look like too technical for me. Noob here, really.

Hi I've just had a quick look, try this

It mentions about installing drivers and says the USB Debugging ones are not required.

Boot up holding vol down so you are at the android part.
Then attached your phone to your PC and use adb push to push a custom rom or download your source image from google.
Grab the google factory image here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-krt16s-factory-2006f418.tgz
Then do adb shell
mkdir /sdcard/Download
exit
adb push /donwload folder/name of the zip /sdcard/Download
Then go to recovery twrp and install the zip
Should get you up and running
