EDIT:
I was trying to reflash JB 4.3 because of storage issues but unfortunately I accidentally deleted and formatted internal and sd storage, so Im left with no OS on my Gnex but I can boot on recovery and fastboot. Also before I deleted the internal I did not enable usb debugging yet at that time. Is there a way I can flash a stock image by just using toolkit? ty
I tried pushing through fastboot mode but it says error: device not found. I only have the platform tools on my pc.
UPDATE:
Finally got the file pushed into the sd card doing via recovery. Since I am using TWRP recevery it was not too obvious how to do it unlike CWRM which I used to use. I spent more than 24 hours looking for the right solution that would work for me and funny thing was I finally got the right way to one of the first threads i looked into but just didnt pay much attention to it which was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
"Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen
- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable
- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)
- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd
- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)"

Go into your device manager if you have windows, and see if you have any errors.
If you do, you might have an exclamation mark for the device: Galaxy. You can manually install the drivers from here, point it to your toolkit, I guess, since you downloaded it already.
If he reads efrant's "android 101" -which is STICKIED ON GENERAL forum- just the first post, he'll know everything and downloaded everything he needs to know and have to interact with his device.

I have read that already however I was hoping to just flash a file to the sdcard if is even possible considering I have formatted both internal and sdcard. I am very new to adb so its an easier way for me. But it seems then I will ave to do it the hard way. Thanks
PS
Not sure if this has any bearing but when I accidentally formated internal and sdcard it was a fresh 4.3 install and so android debugging was not enabled. Thanks

Doesn't matter because if you reboot in bootloader you can use fastboot(if drivers are installed properly), fastboot always works, you don't need to enable anything for it.

no, there's no ADB interface on FASTBOOT interface. You'll never be able to push anything through ADB in FASTBOOT interface. Please read the thread i talked about earlier, and this one too -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 - Just the first post of each will do.

Thanks for this. Was stuck with no factory image because had to wipe data because of encryption. Then was in dilemma of how to load the ZIP to sdcard without having to reflash the stock all over. This saved me the time. Thanks again

I downloaded a ROM for the wrong nexus phone (there's so damn many I forgot to check carefully) and I've already wiped system and moved my nandroid backups to my computer because I wanted to wipe the SD card.
Is there any way to get into the phone's internal storage from recovery and load a new ROM manually?
With my older phones I would just pull the micro SD card and put the ROM on it from my PC, this doesn't seem to be possible with the nexus.
EDIT: I also have the Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3. I think I can load a ROM using this right?
Thanks!

Okay got into the phone when I used recovery instead of boodloader to talk to it with ADB. I'm pushing the ROM but CWM doesn't see the ZIP after it has been pushed when I choose 'install ZIP from sdcard'
Final edit: Couldn't find the ROM when I pushed it using ADB. I think I was using the command wrong because the file never showed on the SDCARD after pushing it. So what I did was push it as 'update.zip' and then used CWM's 'load update.zip' from SDCARD function and got Cyanogenmod installed and everything is gravy again.

this didn't work for me. adb devices shows serial number recovery (that's the only thing I can boot my phone to)
when I adb push update /scard it eventually says it successfully did so with xxxxx amounts of data.
When I apply update.zip card from CWM menu it tells me can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
I also renamed latest cm.zip and pushed it to /sdcard/0/Download - even when it says OK I can't find that file in that directory.
Am I royally screwed?

Sorry but this is really really old. You should try doing a flash-back-to-stock if you can using the Nexus Root Toolkit.

I used Team win Recovery Project to wipe my phone Galaxy Nexus, and now when I plug the phone in to the lappy it doesn't show the sd card. Freaking out here cause I can't copy over a zip file to flash a ROM... please help...
The GNEX doesn't have an actual sdcard, so when you wiped the phone i'm guessing you wiped the virtual sd card.
You will have to adb push a rom to your phone.
One the top of the first Q&A page jubakuba has a guide that has a panic section in it.
The guide also shows how to install adb/fastboot and gives you the commands.
try flash the stock img via fastboot using the following line to avoid wiping ur sdcard
fastboot update ***.zip
then wipe data via CWM and enjoy

ok, following your instructions, and the instructions of the link, I have install ADB and can use cmd, however when I type adb shell, I get an error returning "device not found"
I see a lot of threads stating to make sure usb debugging is on, it was before I wiped the phone, but obviously I cant get to any settings at the moment.
on the verge of crying now, and noone likes to see a grown man cry
FIXED
I ran the push command whilst in recovery and it worked
not sure that it mattered, but I did change the zip file name to ROM.zip, and whilst in recovery, ran the comand "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
Just thought I would put that in there for other dopes like me that might come across this problem
Thanks to all for your help!
LOL
Normally if you can't see your device listed you haven't installed the drivers correctly.(or the correct drivers)
Also you have to open a command prompt window in the same folder as fastboot.exe and adb.exe
To do this in Windows 7:
Click the windows start button (bottom left hand corner)
In the search bar at the bottom type: cmd
At the top of the search list you will see the program cmd.exe right click and copy it.
Paste it into the same folder that has fastboot.exe and adb.exe
Now you can open the cmd window and type the command:
adb devices
Hit ENTER and if you have installed drivers correctly, the serial number of your phone will be listed.
If not, uninstall the drivers, download a new set of drivers from jubakuba or efrants guide and reinstall.

Thank you for your reply
under device manager i do see my gnex but it has a yellow exclamation mark. i have deleted it and when i go to browse for the driver (the naked driver) i cannot find it under downloads...? so no driver is installed...
[please note I don't use an english windows version, I freely translated things, so don't expect to find exactly the mentioned caption on things in your Window]
first of all, don't worry, just did that 5 minutes ago
- Get the drivers (verizon version) for the galaxy nexus from the samsung website
- boot to recovery mode, go to device manager, select update driver - search for drivers on computer - select from a list of drivers on the computer, then select SAMSUNG Android Phone, then the latest one (just check their date) from the ADB drivers, ignore the warning that the driver maybe won't match - it does. That's it, now ADB will work.
Then in recovery do something like adb push myupdate.zip /sdcard/ to get somethinf on your SD card.
Edit:
link to driver download:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW then go to manuals & downloads -> software

The yellow exclamation mark is the reason why ADB doesn't see your device. As for the driver, it is attached to the post I linked to. Download & unzip, then update the driver.

I got the drivers installed and adb now recognizes my device. I have gone into the Android folder all the way into the platform-tools subfolder where the actual rom zip i am trying to push is at. I opened cmd prompt and typed in "adb push romname.zip /sdcard/" which it then pushed onto my phone im assuming because it told me the data total and transfer rate /s.
Although now when i go to CWR i and go to INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD > CHOOSE ZIP FROM SD CARD it tells me there are no files found ?
its as if its not letting me mount the SDCARD, even when i go to hit the mount sd card on CWR it doesnt change it to unmount...? man im lost
do this:
a) either try
Code:
adb push rom.zip /data/media
b) or
- in recovery, go to install from sdcard, choose from sdcard;
- connect device (adb server should already have been started);
- push file again, either to /sdcard/, or /data/media/
- back out of "choose from sdcard" screen, and enter it again. the file you just transfered will be there.
i use the b) method when a) is not working, somehow it works.
note: you dont need to explicitly mount /sdcard. adb has full access to your device while on a custom recovery.

Alright so I was an idiot and wiped data and internal storage...I figured I could just mount the phone like I could my Thunderbolt, but apparently not. I have adb installed and currently been going to platform-tools folder and opening command window...type adb devices and it shows my device in recovery...which is good. However as soon as I try to do "adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\baldwinguy77_toro_aosp_011913-120824-signed.zip" and it doesn't do anything and just scrolls through all the available commands you can do...I have tried multiple variations of that and nothing seems to work. Help me please, as I need my phone working and I have been trying to figure this out for about an hour now.

Alright so I was an idiot and wiped data and internal storage...I figured I could just mount the phone like I could my Thunderbolt, but apparently not. I have adb installed and currently been going to platform-tools folder and opening command window...type adb devices and it shows my device in recovery...which is good. However as soon as I try to do "adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\baldwinguy77_toro_aosp_011913-120824-signed.zip" and it doesn't do anything and just scrolls through all the available commands you can do...I have tried multiple variations of that and nothing seems to work. Help me please, as I need my phone working and I have been trying to figure this out for about an hour now.

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
adb push baldwinguy77_toro_aosp_011913-120824-signed.zip /sdcard/
You didn't specify the destination.

Through adb? I find that hard to believe, unless you specified another destination.

Hello, I Have a Kindle Fire 1st Gen. I Had CM 10.1 on it. I was attempting to put AOSP back on it for My Wife. I did I Noobish Move at 4 am half asleep, I Did NOT go into advanced mode in TWRP and uncheck DATA in the Wipe tab. So This Screwed me "Bricked" Message comes up in TWRP when rebooting, says ( NO OS ) . I have Tried Kindle unbrick utility with no success when clicking on "Stuck at Logo" in utility I get this Error ...> PIC Attatched!>
I then Tried Using android-sdk ( I have went in and edited the files that need to be edited in program files/android...> File_android_winusb as well as in .android folder in the appdata location) Along with CMD & I get a Error So far into the process of Resetting Kindle OS. Pic Attatched as well. It Seems Like I have something missing ?!?!?
I somewhat Suck at CMD, I don't have much experience with it, so Please go slow on me,when Giving advise....
Thanks In Advance!!
If you still have access to TWRP, use it to mount your sdcard to USB.

Oh that's right, it won't work on 2nd generation devices.
Do you have your drivers installed? Are you able to send any adb commands (adb devices)?

My Kindle is a 1st Gen. I'm not sure If I understand what You are talking about when You say "send Commands/devices" If Your talking about in CMD I Get all the way to Seeing my Device Serial Number for Kindle. The when I type "adb shell" I get a error saying (Failed: No such file or directory <2> - ) You can see this in the screen shot I attached to this thread..
Sorry, I looked at what forum this was in and got a little confused...silly me :silly:
Anyway, back on track...
You should not be receiving that error in TWRP. If you are, then something is seriously wrong with it and probably needs to be reinstalled. Other than that, I'm having trouble seeing where the problem is. (the pic shows that you're not in recovery, btw)
You clearly have access to adb, so...why aren't you using 'adb push' to transfer a new ROM to your sdcard to flash in recovery?

I've Done searches and only found how to attempt recovery, typing in commands on pc's CMD Prompt while kindle is mounted to usb in twrp and typing commands in on CMD in pc I installed Android SDK and Device driver. So Sounds possibly what I tried is totally different from what Your asking if i done? If So, Could You Explain step by step thee method with new roms or send me in the right directions 2 a how to link or video? Anything I would appreciate GREATLY! :fingers-crossed:

I have no idea what you're saying.
All you need to do is, boot into recovery (TWRP), use adb to "push" a ROM to your sdcard (adb push...), then install the ROM in recovery.

I mentioned Earlier (say, the Drive of the device is :F) In My computer, When I click :F It states Cannot access (Drivers are installed for kindle). I'm asking How Can I Mount USB in TWRP and Put ROM File on sdcard when I cannot access it... I Do Not have a Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Cable to plug up to kindle with the files put on a external HD to complete this course.
Does that make more since?

Try to understand what you're being told. I'm not saying anything about mounting your sdcard to transfer files to it so get that idea out of your head for a moment.
You need to boot into recovery and use the command 'adb push' to transfer a ROM to your sdcard, then flash it in recovery.
Now, does that make more sense?

I am attempting to understand what u are saying But I'm thinking ur not giving full step after step instructions OR this Version I have (v2.6.0.0) differs from Yours, Because there is No such OPTION as ADB PUSH..... I have ADB sideload (under Advanced Tab) which only wipes Cashe.. I've looked in every single area in TWRP and see nothing of anything You are talking about, other than "MOUNT" obviously.

While Searching Google for Help I seen this..> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361144
I'm bout to install a Pc with Linux and try pushing it that way.. Have not tried that.
You don't need Linux to run adb commands *face palm* While I am a linux enthusiast, all he's trying to say is boot into twrp, plug kindle into your PC, and open a command prompt, CD into the directory of adb and run "adb push pathtofile /sdcard/filename" this should push it to the kindle, though their might be something else u need for in prior to this I'm not sure, soupemagnet will probably post back if there is. BTW I don't know if u actually meant u were going to install Linux, but if you don't plan on using it after this or anything in the case u do decide to still use it for this, u don't need to install it, distros like Ubuntu let you boot into a full os from the CD so u don't need to install it.
