Accidentally Reformatted SD - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I use use this phone as a play phone since I have a Skyrocket. That being said i really dont want to get negitive comments.
So I accidentally reformmatted the SD card when i was going to update the rom from a 4.1 to a 4.2
The issue that I'm having now is that the phone won't be read by the computer. I've tried 2 different things.
Mounting the usb so I can move over the ROM files and re flash. Didn't work since the computer won't read the phone
Tried using ADB to push the files but same issue. ADB doesn't recognize the phone when plugged in. I plugged in my Skyrocket and ADB recognized it.
Yes I have the drivers installed and to be safe reinstalled them. I'm running everything up to date and can't seem to find a solution for my problem.
If anyone has a solution or give me any other idea I would appreciate it.

Can you mount usb from within clockworkmod recovery?

I tired but my computer doesn't read the phone. Uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled and still no luck.

Try the pda net drivers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9861928 if you haven't already.

I used the Samsung toolbox program and on that you can do a temp boot thing then mount SD card and put stuff like backup back on SD card.

Put phone in fastboot mode and flash Google image. This should fix your phone.

I've tried that already. It connects when not in debugging mode but not through kies.I'm able to just go through the contents on my sd card through windows explorer only. I want it to connect through kies.

how can i backup internal mem?

Hey all i was just wondering how one can backup all internal memory before i try to flash my SR? I've got the paid version of titanium backup but don't know if i can use that or if i should just target a certain directory when its plugged into my PC? I tried a search before posting but didn't see anything initially.
nvm, going to start and i don't care about backing up internal.
Just connect to computer and when internal folder pops up copy and paste to a backup folder.

Bricked phone, can't Odin or flash with CWM

My phone won't boot. I tried putting my Nandroid backup on the external SD card to restore, but I can't restore it with CWM. Whenever I hit restore, it says no files found. I've tried mounting/remounting the external SD option in Mounts and Storage. Whenever I mount them through this option,, they don't show up on my PC, so I can put the files on the internal SD. It does, however, show up in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation point. Odin does not recognize the phone.
Can you get adb to recognize it? If you can then you should be able to "reboot download". Hopefully that will "soft"get you into Odin/download mode. If that doesn't work you can make or buy a USB jig that will boot you into download.

I get a device not found error. Why am I unable to flash anything from an external SD card through CWM? Shouldn't this be a standard option?
Ouch. That sucks. Did you try mounting it in advanced menu? You might want to head over to the irc channel. There are a few of us in there. We may be able to help you out.

Sorry I had to bail a little early last night. Did you get the issue figured out. If so could you please post what you did to recover your phone?
Thanks

If you mean when you're on the CWM and try to do anything you get an error that the SD can't be mounted, then I'm afraid you will need to take the phone back to stock mode and go up until the version you were running when the issue happened.
If you search over Google with the exact error you will find lots of solutions, even here on XDA, but I wasn't able to get it work (it happened to me once) and I solved it by doing what I just mentioned above.
Good luck with this!

[Q] Boot loop trouble. Tried several ideas.

Figured it out thanks!
Can't you mount storage in TWRP and move the ROM across from the PC?

I've never done that before. How exactly do you go about doing that?
Thanks. I figured it out. Put zip on phone, wiped, flash boot, flash rom. Thanks again.
Just boot into recovery (TWRP), go to mount (which may be under the advanced tab) and mount external storage. Now connect your phone to your PC via usb cable and it should pop up as a removable drive. Copy the ROM from your PC and paste to your phone. Un-mount your storage, disconnect from PC, and you should be good to go.
