How do I transfer a rom to my GNEX from CWM? [urgent]

I wiped the sd card like a retard... and now don't have a rom to flash.
What do?
I can't find how to mount the sd card.

You have to adb push the Rom to your phone. Hopefully you have the android sdk installed, a quick Google search will provide you with instructions on how to push the file

You can adb from recovery?
You can also use fastboot to recover yourself

Yup! It has saved me multiple times!

It looks like you can use the GNex Toolkit to flash stock rom from fastboot mode (option 9).

Are you getting payed or something man?
Why are you suggesting a toolkit, which will then use fastboot, to reflash a whole rom, a stock rom at that, when he has access to a custom recovery, thus he can get himself out of this mess and learn a thing or two about adb (adb can do more than just a simple copy operation).

Adb sucks tool kits tool kits tool kits. I've grown sick of ADB. Just personal preference.

Apps can't access the internal storage!

A few days ago I rooted my GNexus, now apps can't access the internal storage. I can't take pictures, and I can't download from the internets. I've tried AOKP and ParanoidAndroid.

+1 on fixing permission
You can do that by installing ROM manager then scroll down and click on fix permission

I've tried fixing permissions twice, first by using CWM Touch, and then with ROM Manager.
Nothing works.

You probably need to chown the problematic folders then...

What?

It's a Linux command.
It changes the ownership of files and folders.
If you have any other directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *

Is the option 'protect USB storage' ticked?

No.

Then it must be a permission / owner issue.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

That happened because you didn't upgrade your recovery before wiping & stuff.

Just in case: my internal memory SDcard data recovery post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34185439
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Lemme explain what happened. I
backed up my ROM in ROM manager.
So I installed newest cwr touch, placed the files on the SD card like always, I booted into recovery, factory reset data/cache...etc. I went to " install from zip" it's empty. I went to back ups, nothing. Do I was stuck in recovery. Put phone into bootloader (Im drawing a blank on what it's called), installed newest TWRP, booted into recovery. It found the zip, installed it and all was good. But now I wanna go back to my previous ROM to do titanium backup. I bought a jetpack joyride perk and when I installed it on the new ROM its saying I have to buy it. Do I was gonna restore data on it. Problem is, cwr won't recognize my backups.
Thanks in advance.

I don't want to sound like a jerk when I say this... But if something is at least somewhat important to you, it would probably be a good idea to back it up on your computer or whatever. It'd better safe than sorry, plus it's really easy to backup the entire SD with:
$adb pull /sdcard /backup-folder-on-computer
^ Linux command, windows will have a different path

I avoid cmd and Linux command if possible. And it's not gone, it's just placed somewhere else. A Nandroid is all I need usually.

An enormous mess

Hello everybody, i'm here since a bit of time and i've always found every solution to my problems. Now i've made a very big mess. So.. i used to have aokp rom, and clockworkmod recovery. Then while trying to update, i tried TWRP 2.3.3.0 touch recovery. So i made a backup from the recovery and everything and then a full wipe.. the problem is that this recovery doesn't show me the SD card partition, and the backup i made was saved in /data, which was formatted with the wipe.. now i'm trying everything.. GNexus Toolkit, Odin.. but i can't get out of here.. any ideas on how to get back to Clockworkmod?
Edit: it gets in bootloader, recovery and download mode but there's no way my pc sees it, neither with the GNex toolkit nor with Odin

Did u try /data/media/ ?

yes.. but after a wipe that folder is now empty.
Edit: if i turn it on, the GNex toolkit, while trying to install ClockworkMod reeboots it in fastboot and then it says waiting for device.. why is that??

Flash clockwork recovery using fastboot.

When it gets in fastboot, GNextoolkit can't find any device.

1) put on your big boy pants and stop using a toolkit
2) its failing cause the drivers are not installed correctly.

Now with adb if the phone is ON i can communicate. I'm trying to put a ROM inside data/media and I can put it, but then it's not showing up in the recovery..?

I think the app is confused. Root is installed in /system, so if it found root, then /system is mounted. Lots of things wouldn't work if /system isn't mounted

how did you do stock restore?

Flash stock recovery and do a system restore from there. Will bring it back to stock. Then use a kit to root and install recovery. Works lots better
