Flashed wrong rom -> error mounting sdcard

Hi guys, I've accidentally flashed a p4wifi aokp milestone6 on my nexus S (didn't pay enough attention)
Now my phone boots correctly, but I can't mound sdcard, and this happens on recovery too
Is there anything I can do? I can't flash back any roms
P.S: It seems that I have my old rom installed (aokp jb), that's what the Info says

Flash back the stock Rom buddy it ill help you

But How? I can't copy it

what version of recovery do you use?

Use odin man

I use CWM. I think that I can solve everything if I format the sd, but I really need to access it to save some files first

I use cwm 6.0.1.3 version and has problem mounting sd thats why i asked you. Try to flash a 5 version with fastboot to mount sd.

fastboot
fastboot can update rom too.
fastboot flash [partition name] [image name]
three partition, system boot radio, needed for rom flashing.
fastboot flash system filename.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img

Never had any problem with mounting sdcard with cwm, it would be way too coincidental that it stopped working just exactly when I flash a wrong rom.
And I have 5.5.0.4...

In theory, flashing the wrong boot.img could create a missmatch on the mount points. If all else fails you can fastboot in the various partitions directly to correct.

i have this problem too on my brother's gnex.
i currently downloading stock factory image to flash from fastboot.
just try that.
hope we can get back our usb storage.
if you found another way please share.
thanks.

Do you have adb/fastboot + the Google USB drivers?
You can either push a ROM zip to your phone in adb (you can do this when you're in recovery), or you can fastboot flash the factory images.

[Q] How can i flash a simple .zip via fastboot?

So.... i installed paranoid android and after... there were no connections at all! no internet, no usb, nothing. So i bootet into fastboot and now i just want to flash a clean cm10 or something. Sh1t on my data and anything, everything is in my cloud what is the command to flash a simple zip via fastboot? i did not find anything related to n4 in the internet and i want to get sure i am using the right one for the nexus 4 and no old device

You dont flash zips through fastboot.
At least not the type of zips you're talking about.
You boot into recovery. Do a full wipe. Factory reset + format system. Then flash cm10.1 plus the gapps.

The problem is, there is no ROM on my sd and i cant find my device via adb. so sideload also wont work.
//Edit
Got it working. It bootet. I found a mysterious backup on my sd and restored it Ô.o i never did one, but, hey, it works^^. next try to flash cm10.1^^ and first i drop it to my sd.
//Edit 2
Franco Kernel r72 + paranoid android = no USB. Simple math.

If you end up in that position again, you can flash the stock images using fastboot (*.img files on your pc, phone at bootloader).
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
etc.

[Q] TWRP

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:

Need Help!!! Can't flash anything with SP flash tool as well as cwm or twrp

Guys I am on stock rom but i want to flash other rom, before flashing, i want to take backup of nandroid and want proper recovery function for backup. but for flashing recovery.img we need to switch off our phone and remove the battery then connect to the computer but as soon as i connect it to the computer it connects and again it gets discconected and i flashed the custom recovery with the help of mobile uncle tool but after flashing the recovery i am not be able to mount system/data/cache/etc except sdcard, but the phone boots properly and that is my luck, i am not be able to flash anything properly using SP Flash Tool because the only issue of its connection, i dont think so that it is the problem with my usb its something with the drivers or anything else, and i had installed pdanet, installed mtk driver, installed vcom, installed auto driver installer, installed cdc but nothing helps and cwm recovery too is not mounting anything please guys help me, Your help would be greatly appreciated. Please!!!! Please!!!! Please!!!

First of all for backup, your installed custom recovery would help. Just select backup option and save backup on sd card. Process will take some time.
Now If you have flashed custom recovery then place a suitable custom rom on your sd card then reboot into recovery and flash rom from sd card. It should work.
If nothing works follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2774947 and start from scratch after careful reading. Nothing is impossible.
