so apparently when i flashed cm10.2 6/7 nightly build it frreezes my phones and wont boot up... CM team is aware of this bug and is telling people not to flash.
Problem: I only have 1 backup from TWRP from when i initially flashed my phone from touchwiz to CM10.2 and this Backup is on my PC.. and Im unable to transfer any file from my PC to phone, can anyone help, i have no older build of CM on my phone at all, just the bugged nightly.. i am able to get into TWRP recovery..
have you tried mounting in twrp? otherwise, use adb or run and grab an sdcard.
Do what beerdroid suggested. Push a rom on with adb. At least you learned a lesson, always keep a working nandroid on your phone just in case.
Take your pick. This is the easiest way.

Yea, but he still needs to push it onto his phone. Might as well push the nandroid.

Setting it up is a fairly involved process. Google sdk tools and adb. You'll need to install sdk. But not having an external sdcard isn't going to help. Probably the best thing you could do is get a sdcard and reader to connect to your computer and use those rather than adb. But it's up to you

so if i grab a micro SD and plug it to my pc, would i be able to just drag and drop a older stable nightly onto the card? or would formatting be required?

Like the title says.
I'm in recovery, I wiped it all (unfortunately even the ROM as zip I put on it) and now I don't have no ROM on it and no zip to flash a ROM.
Thought this was no problem, knowing from smartphone recoveries to mount sdcard and copying the file on it. But Nexus 7, well, has no sdcard.
What can I do?
As it is now, I don't have nothing on it and rebooting it wouldn't lead to anything useful.
I need help.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

If you have Android SDK installed, you can use adb push to push the zip file to your internal storage. Put the ROM zip file in your Android SDK - Platform Tools folder on your computer, reboot the N7 into Recovery (connected to computer of course!), open Command Prompt window and change directories to where ever you keep your Android SDK (for me, it's: cd sdk/platform-tools). Then type:
Code:
adb push <name of ROM zip file> /sdcard
Wait, and after about 20 - 60 seconds it'll complete, then you can flash the ROM. It'll be on the root of your internal sdcard (/sdcard).
Sounds difficult for a bloody rookie like me - is there really no easier way? Like transfering via recovery by just telling recovery to mound internal-sd so that it'll pop up on my pc? (know that from CWM and 4Ext on my smartphone)
Or could you explain the steps so that even the bloodiest rookie of them all could understand it properly :-/
aaaw **** -.-
by the way, device is still in recovery

TWRP as well. Just unlocked, rooted and flashed recovery and now I wanted to have a custom rom.
I tried to mount data and what else there was in "advanced" - my PC doesn't show me anything
Edit: not in advanced, it's the point "mount"
Restock and reroot.You can use Wugfresh toolkit for this. You just install the toolkit and if you can boot in bootloader mode you're saved. That's what I did and it solved my problem.

How'd you root/unlock, toolkit of some type?
Using the adb command mentioned is the only way that I know of to push a file to your N7. It's not as difficult to do as it sounds.

Yeah that would work, as long as you don't re-lock via fastboot. That's what probably wiped out your sdcard, was the fastboot unlock of your device, as it wipes your sdcard.

Is it important which current status I choose?
There are 2 to be chosen: Soft-Bricked/Bootloop and Device is on/Normal
If "Device is on" means, that it's turned on, then this'll be my choice, right?

I've never used any of the toolkits out there, I've done it using adb/fastboot commands in a Command Prompt window.

Toolkits are probably the easiest way - and it was pretty easy - who could expect me to wipe the zip, I just moved to the storage before flashing it?...

I desperately hope to have the same luck...will the bootloader still be unlocked after that procedure? I understand that root definetely is gone, but that shouldn't be a problem at all.

It will remain unlocked until/unless you run the fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
If you don't run this, it will remain unlocked.
Whoaaaa I could scream!
Now that I downloaded the right one and try to flash it through the toolkit, it tells me, that there's no adb to be found. He doesn't recognize the device in bootloader.
What should I do?
OH THANK GOD! Tried it via recovery, he found it and restarted into bootloader
First of all: thank you so much guys - I was really shocked, but it all worked out
One more question before I make the same mistake again. Where should I put the zip which I wanna flash? When I have it connected to the pc, it shows me a portable device where the folders of the internal storage are (like Alarms, Android, DCIM, Download etc pp) - that's where I put the ZIP before.
Shall I keep it there?
And another question: what should I wipe in order to get it done properly?
Edit: Figured it out - got me CWM, much more familiar with that one
but thanks again for all your help guys
Any help would be appreciated at this point :/
Phone had been rooted, installed TWRP, downloaded the ROM I wanted and put it on external SD card... good so far?
Rebooted into recovery, made sure ROM and gapps were in the correct folder, wiped everything accordingly...The *contents* in the folder in which the ROM and gapps were placed were deleted. The folder its self was not, nor were any other folders or their contents in the mother folder.
Any clues? Now I'm sitting here stuck in either recovery or download mode whichever I so choose and the computer cannot identify the phone for me to transfer files over.

Odin back to stock ROM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
You could uninstall and reinstall the USB drivers and use a USB port that directly connects to the motherboard (back of the PC) and try flashing stock again via Odin. Or, head down to Walmart and grab a micro sd card to place your rom, gapps, backups, etc on. I highly...HIGHLY recommend using a micro sd card if you plan on living the rooted life
How about taking out the external sd card, plug into computer and transfer rom and gapps onto card, put card back into phone and then reboot back into recovery.

This is your best bet. Otherwise you could adb push the ROM and gapps to your sd. But if you're not set up for adb, that's a lot of work.

Thanks guys for all the information. I have been having issues with installing the drivers correctly (Win8) but Kies seems to work well for the most part. I decided to open Kies and do the emergency restoration and it's back to normal now.
Question: If one were to restore it via Kies, could another model number be searched for and installed? ie the i9500 or i9505 firmware? Just a thought.
Anyway, thanks again... oh and I do have a micro sd card. I came from the Skyrocket and flashed probably half a million times lol. This is what threw me for a loop, deleting the ROM from inside the folder but not the folder, nor anything else on the sd card.

I always do this. It will save you time to make sure you keep a hard copy of your main roms on your PC. And have a way to transfer them to your mini sd (old phone, usb device, or mini to full size adapter. As most PC's have a full size slot. This method has saved me countless hrs.. Flashed about 15 roms on my new S4 and haven't even downloaded Oden.. But I've had to use this method twice. Works great.

This is extremely frustrating.
I successfully rooted my galaxy s4.
I then downloaded CMW and touch, and downloaded this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341376
I then booted into recovery, and wiped etc and then installed the rom. I read on the later part of that page that there wasn't a need for loki so I did not download loki.
I then rebooted, and got the yellow triangle sign saying that the software is not approved by ATT.
This is where I am stuck. I have a mac and am running vmware windows 8.
I tried downloading kies on the mac, and it does not recognize the phone. I did not try kies for windows yet, nor do I know what to do after if I am able to get kies to recognize the s4.
I also downloaded odin, and the firmware, but odin is not recognizing the phone under windows even when I select to use the phone under windows.
I tried the stock usb cable, and a different usb cable, and 2 different usb ports. I do not have a regular windows computer. Is there a way to do this with a mac?
Guess I should have downloaded the loki, is not downloading the loki the whole reason this is happening?
I appreciate everyones help! I just wanted stock android! :good:
I do not have a s4 but have a s2 but its like the same.
1. Why would you not already have Odin installed and kies?! Just in case
2. No backup made?...
3. Can you still get into recovery and download mode if so then you have hope.. wait for someone to give you steps to get out of this
4. If you can't get into either... well :banghead:

Mmm alright... Go into download mode and take out your SD card and download the Loki file in the ROM thread then transfer to sdcard on PC. Then place back in phone.. Then go intro recovery and flash the file and it should work.
But wait before anything can you get into recovery? If so then you go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard and transfer the Loki file from your PC right there.

the OP of that ROM lists these specific installation instructions:
HOW TO INSTALL:
* Download the ROM (NO NEED FOR GAPPS)
* Reboot to Recovery
* Wipe data/factory reset
* Flash the ROM
* U.S. MODELS - Flash Loki Patch - http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/loki-doki.zip (CANADIAN USERS DO NOT INSTALL)
* Reboot your Galaxy S4
* Enjoy
remember to read everything first and understand what you are doing before proceeding. cheers
And only 5 simple steps. One sec of reading. And it matters. Or kaboom.
Well, it looks like I unintentionally wiped the /data partition using TWRP right after I did my first backup after rooting. Now I obviously can't boot since system, data, cache, etc. are wiped. The backup I just made was also wiped

if u have twrp 2.6.3.3 it will support otg u have to mount it after you connect to phone in recovery mode if not try format the card u r using for otg with fat32 file system and then try and if it still does not use and sideload in advanced settings to push rom, unfortunately LG drivers in pc does not seem to help pc see your phone in sideload mode so try installing pdanet drivers in ur pc and then connect ur phone to pc in sideload and push rom I did this several times and it worked all the time.

Hey, so today I wanted to install a new ROM on my SM-N900 Note 3. I flashed TWRP, and rebooted. Then I booted into TWRP and opened Android File transfer on my Mac. It kept saying please connect USB device. Other parts of the system do not read the device, however TWRP says the device is charging from my Mac's USB port. I moved to my Windows computer and connected the device. Still nothing. I tried multiple USB cables both 2.0 and 3.0. Nothing works! Can someone help me? I have no OS installed! I don't want to use ODIN or download mode because I would prefer to the install the ROM I'm trying to install because it seems silly that I have recovery access but can't access the file transfer.
Thanks, Justin

via PC, Odin is the easiest way.
va Mobile, Recovery + ROM in SD card is the easiest way.

I've used ODIN before but I had thought was incompatible with zips. I'll try it today though. And no, I don't have an SD card. I'm trying to move the files into my internal storage.
Thanks, Justin.
MTP doesn't work with TWRP. You'll have to use adb and push the zip to your internal storage. Then flash it through TWRP.
There are many guides on how to do this, it is very simple. Good luck
Edit- i see you're using a mac, not sure if adb works on there.. never tried myself.. always installed linux on any apple product i've owned
I haven't researched it so it might work straight away, but if not just create a vm with xp, ubuntu or something and use adb through there

That's strange, I'm pretty sure my old Nexus 7 could do this. Oh well.
Code:
adb devices
does not work. It doesn't show the device in recovery. File transfer and ADB only work while the OS is booted up.

There's a button in TWRP called disable MTP or enable MTP. It has no effect. I cannot find any sign of a ADB button.

bump
