When i was trying to flash Chroma for nexus 6p, i accidently wiped my internal storage. I wasnt thinking and clicked everything in TWRP to wipe and now when i plug in my phone to my computer all i see is internal storage but no space specifics and i cant copy the chroma rom over. What do i do?
I also lost all my backups because of the wipe. Can someone help me please ?

Can you still boot in to TWRP or do you get stock recovery? I'm not sure why you can't copy Chroma over but if you can still boot in to TWRP it allows you to mount USB storage. I haven't tried this option myself but you may be able to flash Chroma from an external storage device. You can also boot in to bootloader and follow Heisenberg's guide listed in the index and fastboot the stock images which is probably your best bet.
What happens when you try to move the file over? Have you tried to adb push the file over like so:
Code:
adb push [I]file_location_on_computer[/I] /sdcard

I do not and I prefer to keep stuff in the forum so that everyone can benefit from this
Additionally, if you can't push the Chroma file to your phone, you can flash back to stock using Heisenberg's guide here (step 11) then do step 7 to install Chroma.

So what exactly happens when you try to either copy or push the file over to the phone? Does it error out? Gonna need some more information. And I edited my previous post to include some instructions to get back to stock with fastboot if that is easier for you.

If you flash the stock recovery image, you will need to reflash TWRP. I usually just omit that command when flashing back to stock so I don't have to reflash TWRP.

So I rooted, then put CM10.1 nightly and gapps on my sdcard, then went to flash, and I spaced out and accidentally formatted SDCARD when i know that I shouldnt have. crap.
i tried using the "sideload" feature but it wouldnt work on my adb-mac version, i also tried adb pushing ROM files to SDCARD, it says transfered but when i go to flash it says no files in SDCARD, I also tried pushing to SDCARD/0 but i get an error that it isnt a directory since it is formatted.
SOME ONE PLEASE give me instructions on what to do. Do I have to go back to stock or can I just get this to go straight to CM10.1? Id prefer straight to CM10.1 obviously.

So you've successfully flashed a recovery img via fasboot? Did you also push a copy of the ROM zip back to your phone?
Boot to recovery and then adb push the ROM to the sd card.
Code:
adb push yourROMsName.zip /sdcard/
The above code assumes you've placed the rom zip in the adb or platform-tools folder on your PC.
Can't you just boot into fastboot, flash a recovery, boot into said recovery and mount the internal storage and drag and drop the files from your computer?
How did you format the SD card when the phone doesn't have one?

yes i did repush the rom file. this isnt working because i dont believe that flashing a recovery adds folder/partition information to the sdcard. maybe im wrong, but it didnt work.

Yeah but doesn't the Nexus 4 lump all the internal storage together, I know other devices like the OXL have like 6GB internal storage and then a 'simulated' mSD card of about 10GB, making 16GB total. But the Nexus 4 uses the whole 16GB (or 8GB) as internal storage.

yes definitely agreed.
although ive always wanted to try one, and it worked! if this were to happen again (if i dont shoot myself) then i will be doing it manually.
Thanks so much to everyone for all the help! I am now running Official CM10.1 Nightly (newest) and running beautifully so far. This is my second N4 tho, so I will be using my 1st stock one for today since its already setup, have to go to work now and will setup my new CM10.1 N4 later, hopefully wont find any crazy bugs...
I had the same problem and after reading this thread I tried the Fastboot method first:
after I finished it didnt boot so I continue with the inst', then it booted but only with 8GB, so I continue with the inst' and from that stage it just didnt boot.
At the end I tried the root toolkit V1.6.2 and the phone back to life with stock rom and 16GB.
I'm back to stock now. But I've used the sideload successfully. After you get your phone restored, you'll probably want to do a full factory reset because some of your pushes have probably gone through and are now eating up space. You can't delete them that I know of unless you FULLY format.
ANYWAY
When I got sideload to work, I had to push it to /sdcard/0/, /sdcard0/, or something like that. Wish I could be more specific, but I don't want to change from stock to install cwm (the ROMS have too many bugs so far, and we might be getting 4.2.2)
The key is finding the right directory to push it to. Experiment with slashes, and it SHOULD work.
I recently tried to flash PA on my nexus.
Installed cwm on my phone. Then downloaded the PA ROM and moved to the device storage.
Rebooted into CWM and performed all the wipes.
I accidentally wiped the system and the internel partitions too.
when i tried to install ROM from sdcard. it says "NO FILES FOUND"
Iam stuck here. Phone wont boot into Android... any suggestions? please help!
How did you wipe system within CWM?
But since you say you wiped internal partitions too, it seems to me that you wiped your internal emulated sdcard... so I think your only option now is to flash stock images again... Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
If you don't want to flash the stock images you can also push a rom to your phone with adb while booted in a custom recovery
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
Thanks guys. Found a solution.
Flashed TWRP and sideloaded the ROM file. And flashed it.
Earlier the same process with CWM was not successful. Now the phone is loaded with PA ROM!
Thanks guys! and can u point me to the google stock images??

wiped /system? have you tried simple re-flashing your ROM from the .zip ?
no worry... download the nexus 4 twrp latest img from their site, and flash it to your N4
what you needed:
twrp img file
some n4 rom
adb and fastboot
instructions:
boot to fastboot, vol key down + powerbutton when n4 is off.
on your comp, , dos/terminal - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
reboot in recovery
select the adb side load from advanced tab in the twrp.
on your comp - adb sideload rom.zip
everything done....reboot phone.

did you wipe using fastboot erase command? if so, you need to re-format to the android supported file system to access the partitions!
try installing the twrp recovery and perform 'FORMAT DATA' from wipe. then install ROM.

if you have the previous working rom in your storage, just flash it. if not, you can push it to your device via the adb push option in twrp. you should always keep the last working rom zip in your storage just in case.

Do you have adb + the drivers installed? If not, do so now and then adb push the files to the phone. adb will work even if you're in recovery. Should be plenty of write ups on the forum about how to install and set up the required stuff.
is been a long time since I pushed files useing adb Im sure it will come back to me. Should I change to clockworks to avoid this in the future? Why is it not mounting

Hello,
I was modifying build.prop, had made a backup and saved it in another folder in my phone, after modifying, I think it's because I've forgotten to set permissions or something, now I'm unable to bootup after rebooting.
Any idea how do I solve this? I've read online something about adp or something, but I've totally no clue about these.
Is there anyone who has a solution to this?

If you did a backup and have TWRP, just delete the old build.prop in /system, move the backup there and set permissions. ;

Either reflash your custom ROM via TWRP (dirty flash and it'll keep your data etc) or do a stock flash via ODIN and start again. Can't remember if you can use ADB to restore your build.prop been an age since I used an N3.

If you were using stock then you'll need to have a read around general and learn how to flash with ODIN. It's pretty straight forward, you can grab official ROMs from either here on XDA or Sam mobile/firmware. The link escapes my mind currently.
If you were using a custom ROM, download to your PC and use ADB Side load or download to your External SD Card and flash via recovery.
You can use THIS for ADB drivers, it's 15second ADB install and it should work for you.

For Stock you'll need the ROM for your region, this is quite important otherwise it causes headaches. For custom, it's entirely up to you, you can choose any TouchWiz based (stock look and feel - I personally recommend AllianceROM by @sparky b for TW based) Or AOSP based (Pure Android with no Samsung features - Temasek's ROM is stellar in this department and the new OMNIROM for the Note 3 will be superb once the dev has it sorted 100%, it's still being debugged and beta tested currently and dev tree's etc redone, stop by @jakew02's thread and have a read at where he is up to)
If you have the N9005 you'll be OK to use any custom ROM for that device. Just stay away from the Exynos (N900) ROMs as they won't work and will brick your phone.
I've recommended a couple of ROMs which are both Stable and feature filled plus one which will be great once fully flying. Other ROMs in the development section are just as great, however, I can only comment on the two I used solidly when I had my Note, and the one's I have ran on other devices. But ultimately it's your choice.
