An enormous mess - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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..?

Fix permissions?
Use fastboot to reflash cwm, if you want.

Yes, permissions will come back, they're set on init.rc.

As you can see, /sdcard/ and /mnt/sdcard are symlinks of /storage/sdcard0.

which twrp version are you using? i used cwm 6.x after getting issues on flashing JRO03C; didn't have issues accessing my device through adb. A user over @TWRP thread suggested updating to 2.2.x.
have you tried fully wiping the device with fastboot? including userdata? then reflashing cwm, booting to recovery directly from bootloader, push rom over with adb, and reflashing rom?

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

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).

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

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.

Urgent help Required

I formatted /system by mistake. Now I am stuck on the Google Text I know I deleted the OS.
I can get into CW recovery. How to put rom files in SD card? Cause USB cant be detected in recovery mode.
I think you can use ADB to send files to your device. Or you can just use your computer to flash a stock image and start over. This is why I always keep backups and at least one ROM zip on my SD Card

Thanks . .. was doing it wrong .. finally did it

Stuck with "No OS"

I have no OS right now because I did a "Format Data" in TWRP which wiped my internal storage, including the zip file. I'm doing this for a friend and not super familiar with the Nexus. Since there's no SD card, how can I get a zip file back onto the device to flash?
Current status:
TWRP
ADB drivers installed
Galaxy Nexus Toolkit can't do anything because it's getting that "USB Debugging is not enabled"
Currently trying this:

Sdcard is formatted, I believe you need to boot up at least once to push files into it.
Fastboot stock ROM.

Of course you can use adb in recovery, what I'm trying to get across is that you may have to boot into android at least once to 'format' the sdcard, without a formatted sdcard, pushing a gazillion times won't work....

like few others mentioned, connect your devices to PC push a rom and flash it, as far as i understand when you format the data, it formats the DATA, which means /data is formated so you can push a rom using ADB.
EDIT: PS: I might be wrong, but i'm no expert either so.
