There will be problems as some are mentioning in the other thread. You need TWRP to make it installed properly.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you can (adb) sideload rom and other addons in TWRP without using touch screen.

Oh, and how do i do that? i only flash through installing with TWRP (on my other phone) so i have no really idea how you do that with sideload, is there any updated guide or something? thanks
Any help please? i dont know how to flash without touchign the screen, thanks
You can download wug toolkit and install it in your PC. Simple gui that just need you to select the operation that you want.
Adb sideload is included hence you just need to select the TWRP image and it will do all the process.
The required drivers also will be installed automatically if you select the option.
Hope this help. Good luck.

hi, thank you for the reply, do you know what are the commands or how do i work with it? i have never used ADB manually only flashed through TWRP / wugfresh toolkit.
another question: the "adb sideload" is an option in twrp, and in order to get into it i have to swipe right the screen (which i cant because it doenst responding) any other way to do it? thanks
If you manage to get ADB working (Nexus-tools on Mac, Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows), there is a little-known utility included in TWRP that allows you to send keyboard commands as mouse movements inside TWRP.
Connect to TWRP via ADB: in Terminal / Command prompt, run adb shell
Then run the command 'mouse'
BTW, in mouse mode you don't 'swipe' to install, you just need to click on it with the mouse.
The real question here is, if the unresponsive area is so big, how are you planning to use the device ?

i was stuck in a bootloop after flashing a ROM, and didnt have any backups or other ROMs on the devices storage, so i was attempting to push files to it via ADB, but it wouldnt connect. i went back into the custom recovery image, and accidentally wiped the whole thing, so now i have no OS installed, and not even the seeminly 'faulty' ROM in /sdcard either. i can still get into the bootloader and the custom recovery, but cant seem to get it to connect to ADB. any ideas what i can do?
If you could boot into fastmode, then just flash stock rom.

how do i boot into fastmode? all that i can access is the bootloader, and TWRP. when on the bootloader screen it sort of connects to my PC. i can go into device manager, and will see 'android bootloader interface' in there, and i have updated the drivers as per the instructions in the nexus root toolkit, but it wont seem to talk to ADB for some reason.
edit: ok, this is really odd. when i use the NRT to try pushing a zip file, if i start the it trying to push the file, then open a command line and use 'adb usb' NRT will say that it has connected to the device, and goes through its various steps, and ends up booting the device into recovery, but the actual zip it was supossed to have pushed isnt there...
it made it enter twrp, so it must be communicating in some way, but when i type 'adb devices' it doesnt show up...

Stop using the toolkit and read the sticky that's not too far above your post... the one titled, "[GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock." Coincidentally, it happens to be exactly what you need.

You don't need ADB if you are in the bootloader- you use fastboot.
So I messed up my Nexus somehow. I was trying to install MIUI coming from Carbon ROM but something went wrong as it got stuck on the miui logo. So I rebooted to TWRP and restored my backup. So then I tried to install PA and then it just got stuck on the google logo. So i restored my backup again and tried again to no avail. Then after that I couldn't restore my backup ( I keep getting FAILED as soon as the data restore starts). I can boot to Recovery but I dunno what to do. I tried sideloading but that's not working. I tried the toolkit but everytime it tries to download the factory image it says 404. The phone charges and whatnot but I don't know what to do. I only have the PA rom on my phone and reinstalling it doesn't do anything. The only weird thing is that when I try to install the PA gapps I get a FAILED message. Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried to install another rom on your nexus?
you can put it on with adb push command from recovery though a pc, and then wipe everything and try to install it.
Or you can download stock 4.2.2 rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147281
Here you can find your factory image directly from google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjdq39

you must enter into recovery, connect your phone to your pc with usb cable and then you should be able to see your device,
try
Code:
adb devices
on CMD and it can see your phone type
Code:
adb push **your-rom-from-computer** /sdcard/
then just install it from the recovery
When you say recovery do you mean the main menu? I'm using TWRP and when I'm on the main menu my PC doesnt read the device

Ok, wait. I need some clarification. I'm going to try to be as simple as possible, to make sure we are on the same page. When you say your PC doesn't read the device, do you mean through adb or on Windows Explorer?
If you mean through Windows Explorer, then that is not where you need to be. You must get adb working as a bridge to your device. Use this sticky guide to get it set up. I would recommend reading that guide top to bottom anyway, it's extremely informative and new-user friendly. Anyway, the info you need is in the 'Setting up ADB for our device:' section.
If you have adb installed, you need to check to see if it recognizes your device. Do this by opening up cmd and navigating to the folder that adb.exe is located. After that, use 'adb devices' to see if adb recognizes your device. If so, move to the next paragraph. If not, your drivers aren't set up properly for recovery mode. Go into Device Manager on your computer and find your device (under something like 'Other devices', or 'Android device'). If you find it, then get these drivers and install them for the device. Do this by right-clicking, and selecting 'Update Driver Software...', 'Browse my computer for driver software', and browse to that folder. I may have missed a few steps on installing the drivers, it's been a while. If so, just search on how to do it, or post back here. I'm sure I can walk through it and get a more precise guide.
Assuming you have adb installed and it recognizes your device, you need to open up cmd and navigate to the folder that adb.exe is located. Then, use the adb push command as outlined above.
Download stock images from Google's website and flash it via fastboot. If you don't know how to do it then use a toolkit like WuguFresh to do it for you.

You can also use the toolkit for pushing a ROM in your SDcard, or backup your SD in your pc.

I will get you some details instructions if you can wait till tomorrow.
Or, read this thread and YouTube how to do an adb side load. In short, you will need to download android sdk to your PC, download the rom zip file, plug your phone in and enter twrp's adb side load, open command prompt, and enter adb side load command.

Ok, so here's what I did to install a ROM in TWRP when I wiped all the data using adroid SDK tools and TWRP ADB side load:
- Go here to download Android SDK https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (remember where you save/install it)
- Download your ROM and Gapps file (For Sprint, I think we only have Carbon ROM so use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502789)
- Once you've downloaded the ROM and Gapps zip files, save the zip file into "your drive:\androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools" (this just makes it easier to find when doing the adb side load)
- Now plug your phone into your PC. Go into TWRP and start up ADB Side load. I think it's in Advanced button.
- Now open up the "your drive:\androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools" folder. In that folder, do a Shift-Right-Click and click "Open Command Window Here" to open cmd w/ that destination already mapped out.
- From here, all you have to do is type in "adb sideload [enter zip file name here]" and it should start installing over to your phone.
**** One important thing to note, if for some reason, in the command prompt your device is not visible, download PDA net for Android http://pdanet.co/ (this was actually my case and PDA net worked like a charm)
Only Have in the Phone the CWM R 5.5.0.4 nothing more, i try to install the drivers in win 7 64 and allways fail :/ how i can solve this, i'm so nervous OMG
Relax, we got you.
Driver installation for Windows is not straight forward. Plug in your phone, then open device manager. You will see an unrecognized device there. Right click it, select settings. Click 'Update driver', then choose the 'From this computer' option. Select the driver folder you downloaded. This should work. If it doesnt, click on the option 'Chose from list of producers', select 'Android' or simply all devices, search for OPPO and select the appropiate driver (Android ADB interface).
This should install the driver correctly. After that, get ADB and fastboot up and running: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Install a current recovery via fastboot. Search the forum for how to do this in detail. The quick version is put your phone into fastboot mode, plug into PC, start fastboot and type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
Then push a current ROM to your phone via ADB. Again, search the forum on how to do this. Do a full wipe in the recovery and install a new ROM.
Please report back if this worked so others with the same problem can use this in the future.

The only thing i need to know was what step i need make to detect the Oppo drivers, you say " click on the option 'Chose from list of producers', select 'Android' or simply all devices, search for OPPO and select the appropiate driver (Android ADB interface)." after that problem solved because i do this kind of things many times before in other phones and its easy.
When drivers are installed successfully just need to go to recovery "power + Vol. Down" and after write in the command window ( adb push "name of the rom.zip" /sdcard/ ) and he start copying the rom to the SD card, after that just install in the recovery choosing the rom in the root of the sdcard, and thats it! Easy :good:
I would really appreciate some help on this one... I attempted to flash the updated Mahdi Rom (09/20 build) this morning. I'm using the latest Philz Recovery if that matters. I performed the normal wipe procedure and when I went to flash the rom it told me the file was invalid. I think I might have tried to use a zip that wasn't fully downloaded.
I didn't have any other recoveries on my phone (I know... not smart) so I need to figure out how to flash a new rom without using recovery. I'm not completely hopeless and I'm willing to do what it takes to get my phone back!
Any help would be great! Thanks.

You can load adb on Mac. I believe there's a zip somewhere on xda with only the three files need, or download the package from Android. Place it in whatever your username folder is too make life easier. Also add ./ (dot slash) before every command.
Here's the command order for my setup.
cd Android/platform-tools
./adb devices
./adb sideload **DRAG FILE INTO TERMINAL**
Thank you for your help. I got ADB to load on my mac but it won't accept the prompt to sideload. Am I missing something perhaps?
Update: I think I figured it out. The command prompt needed to be reinitiated.
Thanks again for you help! Moments like that are always a little scary!

Does it recognize sideload when you type ./adb devices? If not and you're in adb on Philz unplug/replug the charger.
