I am stuck in TWRP recovery because i wiped my dalvic, cache, data and system. I do not have any backup in the phone's storage.
I only have the CM11 rom which i was about to install but it seems my version of TWRP cannot install it.
The question is how do i get to copy files from my PC to the phone's storage.
Please dont just tell me to use ADB or something vague like that. I am a newbie. Please tell me the exact step i need to follow in order to copy files.
Thank You

ok i think for u most fair method is to back to stock and re-do all what u did or if recovery supports ADB PUSH or ADB SIDELOAD use this
Have you tried mounting usb storage in recovery? I believe that will allow your computer to access the storage partition, then you could transfer a compatible rom, perhaps a rooted stock rom just to get you going.

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. As others mentioned in the TWRP thread, it's a bit different for the Nexus 10 compared with other devices - out of the 11 android devices I've had I've never done this!
Anyhow, can anyone a solution to getting a ROM back on my device? I can't seem to mount anything to my PC using TWRP. I can get fastboot working, but not ADB or file system mounting.
Thanks
Ehm, does the Nexus 10 have a ad card? If yes, use another phone to put a Rom on it and then flash it trough twrp

have you tried mount sd storage? or you can try the toolkit in the sticky thread.

Get a stick drive, sd card reader, etc. Put a rom on it & transfer via twrp file manager

Just boot into fast boot and flash the stock images.

can you use adb to push a rom to flash?
TWRP allows you to adb sideload ROMs. Google TWRP adb sideload and it'll walk through the steps. You can also search the Original Development section and find MSkip's toolkit which I believe can flash ROMs and whatnot from your computer. It will also automate installing the proper drivers if that hasn't already been done.
Thanks for all the help. ADB wasn't working in TWRP - I believe it was a driver issue on my PC though. However, as jellydroid13 mentioned, I was able to use fastboot to flash the stock 4.2 image from google, and then boot up from there. Thanks again!

Add me to the list of people who have wiped data over 9000 times in CWM and after updating to twrp and doing it there, have lost everything. I have backups, but am having no device found with adb sideload and suffice to say im a little confused. Confused why "wipe data" and wipe SD card and wipe SD EXT all do the same thing.

(i'll look for an OTG cable^^)
i had a similar problem several days ago
used ADB sideload to flash ROMs
why adb anything when like jellydroid said you can use fastboot and push all partitions and restore to stock?
I'm facing a similar issue but my device is Moto G5s Plus.
The problem I'm facing is that I accidently wiped out the mobile's system completely, and now it does not even have an "internal storage" partition at all (since it shows 0 MB). Hence, I cannot even transfer any files to my mobile because my computer does show the phone detected but no "internal storage exists".
Please help me out..
Hello everyone.
By being stupid, I formatted every partition on my N4, except the bootloader and the recovery. I want to recover some images and videos. I found this tutorial. But the trick is not to touch the data partition because it may overwrite the deleted files.
I need to install some custom ROM or system image.
Since I can't put anything on the sdcard, I was going to use fastboot, and flash factory system image. However, in order to dump the partition, I need to have BusyBox installed. So the question is, can I install busybox with fastboot, or push it with adb push?
Or another question is, do I even need to install factory image. I do have the TWRP recovery installed, can I just push the busybox binaries? I don't know if I need any other files...
Your help is very appreciated.
Thank you very much.

If you have TWRP, try pushing busybox from adb and then run the commands
It worked.
moxtrom, thanks for your reply.
So yesterday I got home and tried the steps.
First I pushed busybox and su as instructed in this tutorial:
http://dottech.org/87443/how-to-root-nexus-4-guide/
The last step says to do busybox -install, and that didn't work for me. But it didn't matter because the rest of the steps worked fine.
From there I followed the steps from the tutorial on how to recover the files and everything worked perfectly, except now I have bunch of files with weird file names that I have sort through.
I'll see if I can find a tool that maybe can restore the whole partition, because the data partition should be all good, it's just been formatted.

Hi,
so i followed the steps to flash android on my nexus using ClockworkMod recovery.
I did the following steps and now I am stuck. my phone wouldn't load and I cant do anything about it
1. Bootloader was unlocked and I installed the clockworkmod recovery.
2. backed up my phone
3. I copied the ROM zip file to storage of the phone. (I cant find it through recovery now)
4. rebooted into recovery mode
5. did the nAndroid backup (which is not working now and hence my phone is spoiled)
6. performed complete wipe of the device including factory reset, cache partition and dalvik cache.
the problem is that I cant restore the nAndroid backup which i created using the recovery any more. I also tried mounting the USB storage using recovery but it still doesn't work.
I am also not able to see the phone as a Storage device in my computer any more otherwise I could load the ROM file again and try.
Please suggest any ideas or solutions.
Regards
error while restore
Whenever I am trying to restore the backup it shows error "MD5 mismatch"

Okay, first what rom are you flashing. And did you do a factory reset in the recovery before you flash it?
By flashing in custom recovery means you are flashing an unofficial version of KitKat, because normal you use fastboot method to flash the factory image from Google. Try using this stock rom from fireb33: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010887
Secondly, did you flash the latest version of CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198942
If you used latest recoveries and factory reset, and it still doesn't boot, then backup your nandroid and use the fastboot method to flash the factory stock image (link in my sig).
To backup your nandroid, you need to locate where it is and use "adb pull" command, try this: adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/ C:\backup\
The MD5 mismatch means your file is not original or corrupt, it could be due to various reasons.
Nexus devices do not have microSD card so they cannot use the mount USB storage feature.
I am willing to bet most of your issues could be avoided by using TWRP recovery instead of CWM. Get it here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako, flash it in fastboot by "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", it is not compatible with CWM nandroid.
If you neeed to send certain files to your phone, don't forget the sideload feature if you want to flash a zip file from your computer. Enable sideload in your recovery, and type: adb sideload *.zip

the only optionyou have is to flash a factory image through fastboot..head over here --> Click Me
i downloaded the factory image from google extracted then did the same fastboot flash as the 4.3 but switched the names to the files in the krt16o zip. it worked perfectly for me. tried using wugs toolkit and everything went to crap. i say do the same method as 4.3 but rename all the files accordingly.

Hello All,
I have terrible issue with my LG G2. I wanted to install new ROM, so I have processed Wipe in TWRP like I did tousands of times. After that I wanted to pick zip from SDCARD to install and - surprice - nothing is there. Somehow TWRP erased my entire SDCARD with ROMs, backups, photos, everything... :/
Now I can't even install new ROM.
Could you please tell me if there is any way to recover my SD card?
Thank you

To recover probably not. But you can still install rom through adb sideload or USB otg (cable + usb stick).
install drivers like this http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/index.php/topic/1362-how-to-adb-fastboot-in-windows-xp-7-81/
then use adb push romname.zip /sdcard
Hi Guys,
It's all in the title really, I have tried rolling back from the latest MIUI stable rom 20.1.9_v11-10 to my previously run V11.0.2.0 , this got my phone (mi9t) stuck in a bootloop. After going into recovery mode, I have realized the internal storage folders are all messed up, with the folders names showing in an odd combination of number and letters (Something like: 9KJJGDKJ).
The phone still mounts via USB to the laptop, by I'm unable to transfer any files to the internal storage. And as such, I'm currently unable to flash it with a ROM.
I'd appreciate any advice on this, hopefully one that would also help me salvage the files and data I have on my internal storage.

For backup have you tried running adb command "adb pull /sdcard _(here specify any location in your pc such as C:\x\) from CMD when in TWRP? And for flashing ROM you can use "adb push (ROM zip location and destination such as C:\x\anyrom.zip /sdcard/)" and flash ROM .zip from your sdcard root in TWRP AFTER factory reset and wipe system from TWRP. Remember factory reset will erase your internal storage. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Well, it looks like you phone is encrypted and the only way is to format data, and did you format data before doing the downgrade?
Do you have TWRP?
You need to format data, internal memory encrypted.
Boot to TWRP
Format DATA
Reboot to TWRP
Transfer xiaomi.eu rom and flash
Reboot

I would try another recovery, sounds like something is corrupt with the twrp version. Have you tried Orangefox?
I had the same problem. Only thing that works is formatting data. A different twrp wont work. I tried 3 different versions all the same.
Thanks guys, already formatted my sd card yesterday and then I was able to re-flash the Android Q update.
My data is lost tho. Thank you all for your input here.
