Hi,
I was running MAKO L Preview 9002 version and I wanted to change the version, so I download a new ROM and then to Recovery (MultiROM TWRP) and wiped all data and then tried flashing, but got an error.
In haste, I did a complete format and lost even the existing flash zip. I am able to boot into recovery but all data is lost and not able to flash. Please help as I have download a new zip, but am unable to transfer it to the phone as it is not being recognized by the computer.
Please help!!

Lots of ways. you can push files through adb, mount your phone storage in recovery or just flash stock images through adb.
Go into recovery and try adb push rom.zip /sdcard/ from the computer. Must have adb installed.
I'm pretty sure Twrp has an option to mount the sdcard to your computer as usb storage as well.
Finally, keep in mind you can always go back to stock with Google factory images.

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:
I encrypted my nexus 4 a couple of months ago, and I had no issues until I wanted to flash a custom rom. I installed a custom recovery (Clockwork Recovery), and tried to wipe the cache, find the zip file, but it said that it was unable to mount sdcard. I figured that this was due to the encryption, and tried to factory reset the phone. I was unable to do so through the recovery and through the settings app. I followed instructions from the following thread to flash a stock image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 , which was unsuccessful. In the end, I still have all my data, and the encryption remains. Any ideas how to get rid of it?
When running encryption you have to side load everything. Try to side load the ROM you want. if that dose not work download factory image and fast boot it over.

I believe to sideload you use adb and place the zip you want in the adb's folder, plug your phone into recovery, and use the command adb sideload (zip file name) or something or the sort and you should be good to go, have you tried
fastboot erase system

When in recovery it says that it can't mount sdcard so it doesnt allow me to do anything through recovery. That was the main issue when trying to flash a rom
Hello,
After trying a lot of things and search for half of the day my last chance is now to ask one of you guys for help, please.
Problem:
After I have tried to encrypt the internal storage of my LG G2 via the the previous installed Cyanogenmod 11 this attempt resulted into an error and it has told to me that I should reset to factory stock. This has been worked out as the needed directories havent been found via TWRP recovery. So I have tried to do a hard factory reset as well as a a following format of the internal storage from recovery which brings me now to the boot screen with the LG logo. Not going any further. Not possible to turn the phone off anymore. But I am still able to access the TWRP recovery menu. But as the internal storage has been formated its longer possible to boot up into any ROM.
I am also not able to restore via LG Flash tool, as it is not going any further in download mode.
So I would need help with my last thought of a solution: Pushing a custom (or stock rom) ZIP file via ADP in TWRP to the internal storage, so that I can flash this one again as new operation system. Could someone please give me a precise step to step guide for the ADP slide method as I am unfortunately not good regarding any development tools.
Other methods are more than welcome as well, to re-flash stock or a custom rom to the system, without having access to it in any other way than TWRP.
Mac and Windows operation system is available on a computer. USB driver installed. stock rom kdz file downloaded. But I am not able to move forward. So please help.
Thanks!

Follow this guide and adb push a Rom to your sd. It must be a zip, not a kdz, place it in your root drive like C:\ and don't forget that adb is case sensitive.

Hello,
Thanks for this guide which is really easy to use and I would say my ADB on windows are now ready to push. Unfortunately the ADB are not discovering my devices useing TWRP on it, as the sidemode is not starting up. When I am in TWRP recovery and tapping advanced, tapping adb sidemode it shows me that it would start, but it never tells me that it is started.
Is there any other "entrace" to my devices where I could push a new rom zip file onto it without this TWRP adb sidemode? Or can I reinstall TWRP in any way to "repair" the sidemode feature?

Don't worry too much about sideload just write adb push C:\ROM name /sdcard/ and then just locate it in twrp
If you are sideloading you need to use the adb sideload /path/to/Rom.zip command

@k2828 am cen percent sure. am not telling to format system. if u format the system then only u will lose the current Rom.
check that is is saying that "Can't install this package on top of incomparable data run a factory reset"
when format the data the u will not lose the the current rom u will only lose the user data such as installed app, contacts saved in phone etc. actually formatting data means factory reset which will turn ur phone ROM into brand new u have to start over form the beginning. if u want to be safer side first do an nandroid backup of current stock ROM man then only u can restore that at any cost
look at the following step posted by @Rox
1. Download the ROM from the link below
2. Download GAPPS
3. Transfer the zip files to your SD card
4.. Reboot to recovery mode ( Vol UP + Home + Power )
Note: It is highly recommended to use TWRP recovery
5. Optional: Do nandroid backup
6. Wipe data / Factory Reset
Note: Needed if you are updating from other andorid version or stock
7. Install CM zip and GApps zip
8. Reboot to system
in the first you have to do Wipe data / Factory Reset the only u have to install the CM zip
still if u not believed me in the sense
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esmt7eIIPjc
check out this video in that he will be using the CWM recovery to flash CM12.1 he will perform the Wipe data / Factory Reset first and then only he will Install CM zip and GApps zip

thx dude. i have overseen that there is a sd card slot. it worked after wipping data
What if i m rooting first tym my s3 neo

How do I download it to my phone if I cannot boot into it. Is there any way I can copy a zip file (rom) onto the phone's internal memory.?
Your phone should boot into recovery, so as long as it goes on and boots all u do u is use ur pc to move file over and flash it...

Boot into bootloader (hold power and system on), flash the though recovery through adb, mount your .zip,, flash your .zip through recovery. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I've been drinking with the roommates, lol.
Edit: if that doesn't work, send me an IM and I will help you in the morning

The same thing happened to me also! The whole /data (incl. sdcard) partition went corrupt (showed up in TWRP as eemc instead of ext4) & the /vendor failed to mount.
First I had to repair the /data partition (unfortunately the data was lost, as it repaired to a blank partition). I ended up having to go home (was at work at the time) & hook the phone up to the PC & download the ROM & transfer it onto the sdcard. I'm not entirely sure why/how this happened, but I believe it was because a corrupt vendor IMG. Although that theory doesnt include why the /data partition corrupted, it only explains why the /vendor partition failed to mount.

I have the same issue. The problem is, that my computer will not recognize the phone in bootloader mode or in recovery mode(MTP enabled). How can install usb drivers without being able to boot into phone OS???? I've tried Nexus Toolkit with no success. Please help?
Have a look here how to load in bootloader, flash, etc.

So I did the same thing. I'm sitting in TWRP right now but have nothing on the phone. Will I be able to reboot from TWRP into the bootloader and just use the flash-all command to get my phone to boot back up, then just go through the process of custom recovery again?
Basically I'm worried about leaving twrp without an OS. I didn't wipe bootloader did I? Also, I tried to download a ROM and just drag it to internal memory, but I can't seem to add anything to the internal memory.

Hi... Just boot into recovery and reflash system.img from the factory image of your choice in bootloader with fastboot. Also flash the vendor image from the same factory image. Done...
Or reflash the whole package with flash all (manually is better imho). But you'll waisted time... Let your phone reboot into Android and you'll have your internal storage back.

Yes TWRP has a reboot to bootloader option available. So you can access fastboot via bootloader to flash the necessary images. Just don't forget to re flash TWRP image again in case the stock recovery image was flashed beforehand.
The odd thing was that I did choose that option to boot to bootloader in twrp and it didn't work. I ended up having to reboot to bootloader manually. Not a big deal. All is working now, but thought that was interesting.

Exactly which partitions did you wipe? system? data? Internal Storage (userdata)? all of the above? Hopefully you did not wipe userdata (all your stuff). Were you on a stock ROM? You should be able to d/l the Google image from the same build you were on, extract system and data and fastboot flash those. Don't flash userdata. All your stuff should be there. Follow the tutorial on how to set up fastboot and selectively flash partitions.
