What do you mean by usb storage? You can flash your rom by sideloading it under your recovery.
adb sideload rom-name.zip

when u open the recovery go to mount then mount usb storage
it makes ur pc read your phone so you can transfer some files
i used it many times in my old phone " Nexus s "
and I'm using mac so i don't this command will work

I'm also using a mac. if your downloading the sdk from google u go to sdk/platform-tools and theres the adb file.
Next you need to place the rom file in the same folder
then you need to go to your recovery under install from sideload
and then in your terminal
./adb sideload rom-name.zip
after transfering from mac it gets installed directly

that should be tricky trying a rom without installing it.
The only solution I know would be doing a backup before. Then installing it and then restoring the backup.
There should be some other recovery where u can manage your roms. but I cant remember.

Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening, and how I can get around it?
I currently dont have a ROM installed on my TF300 due to me being an idiot, but I can use ADB, TWRP and fastboot so I should be able to sort this out.

Download the stock firmware (WW or US). Unzip it once (it will still be a zip).
Place said file where you can flash with your recovery.
Flash stock firmware with CWM.
Reboot.

What version of CWM are you on and how did you install it?
I am assuming you mustve used ROM Manager to update it...See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671598
You should use PERI to push a working recovery and then flash it using that.

Yes, 3.2 is Honeycomb. I am not sure if Wolf's Exploit works on Honeycomb or not, but I would give PERI a try (linked in my previous post).

Is this the password for the Android OS, or is it an encryption password?
If it is an encryption password before the Android login, you will need to do a format data (wipe the entire /data/ partition including /data/media/ a.k.a. /sdcard/). If your internal memory was encrypted then it would make sense why CWM cannot mount the /sdcard/.
Can you install zips from the microSD with your recovery? If so you could try flashing another recovery zip file and see if that works. You could also try to use adb to install another recovery when you are in CWM.

[Q] Help: No software installed and can't boot

Hi guys
It has been a long time since my phone has been this bad.
So last night I go to charge my phone because I had ZERO battery. So I turned it on and then plugged it in. The phone booted fine but then I noticed that the screen was not shutting off. I even tried hitting the "Go to sleep" button from the pull down menu and nothing happened. I also realized the phone was not loading my calendar. When I went into the file manager it didn't show SDCARD 1 or 2.
I decided to clear the memory (dalvik + cache) = SAME PROBLEM
I did a factory restore = same problem
Finally I cleared the system = now i have no OPERATING SYSTEM ON THE PHONE
I went to the external sd card and tried to install the latest version of OMNI....IT SAYS IT CANT READ FROM THE SD CARD.
I also tried to copy the file from external sd to internal sd card and it says FAILED
I don't' know what to do...
I am using Team Win Recovery Project 2.6.3.0
I have the latest omni rom on my external sd card. I can see it but install fails.
Please help :crying:

Calm down dear. Same happened with me. I formatted /system and find that I don't have any operating system in my mobile.
Just pluggin your mobile in recovery mode to your PC. transfer the file-> Flash the ROM-> Gapps -> BINGO..
BTW, wrong area for creating a thread.
Don't worry. Do what D™ said.
Alternatively you can use "adb sideload" method. I used it once with Philz recovery. In sideload method, you won't need to copy the file in Sdcard. File existing on pc can be directly flashed. This would help if you still face problems copying file to Sdcard. Search it on google. You will find steps for it.
A bit more clear please...

But when I connect my phone to my computer I know it is connected (I see GTi9103 in device manager with an "!" ) but I cant transfer files.
Could someone provide a link to the adb method or maybe give a bit more advice on this problem..
Thank you guys!

It must installed drivers.. If u cant access the storage, just flash ics via odin and further known actions.

Thanks dude! I will give it a try and post a response! It was just so strange that I couldn't see any of the drives (sdcard 1 or 2) in filemanager. I guess something must have got corrupted? Right now I am trying to push from adb method mentioned from Nikhil.
I am following this procedure.

Download Stock Indian ICS
Btw, adb sideload method is as follows.
0. Install adb for windows (assuming you have windows). (There shouldn't be any driver missing)
1. Enter into sideload mode in recovery
2. Open cmd in computer with the directory in which zip file is kept. (shift + right click -> open command prompt here would do)
3. Enter adb sideload xyz.zip
Thats it.
I've tried it with TWRP recovery in my friend's phone. It didnt work. But When I tried with Philz recovery, It worked well.
Anyway, if you are finding it complicated, flash stock ics.
Edit : Did you try "mount usb storage" in recovery? because it is required to do. else computer won't recognize your device.
success!
OK so I successfully flashed via ODIN....Can I directly flash omni now? I am assuming yes...Can I flash it through ODIN?
Also can you recommend any good versions of ICS? It is really quite a bit faster than omni...
AGAIN thank you all

Omni is best until now.
you can't flash omni via odin. Flash Philz or TWRP first and then flash omni.
Lv5 ZCLPD is best ICS Rom. But I would choose Omni over Lv5,
reinstall twrp?

Well, for some devices (like mine) I can do it, but not all.
What you'd have to do is mount your /boot partition as r/w and then overwrite the system files in it with the CWM ones.
What is your device?

Try using ROM Manager. Download it from the Play Store.
