Now you must work out how to connect to PC to transfer new rom. You can use adb. Loads of guides for adb push about

Not whilst adb puhsing, no.
If you were fastboot flashing something like a bootloader or radio and disconnected it during teh flash, you could brick your device - but you're not doing that.
adb push is just copying files from your PC to your device.
lets say you have rom.zip on your computer c drive
Code:
adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard
is all you'd need to do.

My daughter's Nexus S touchscreen has died. It died slowly in that on the first few occasions she couild pop the battery and it would come back. Now it won't come back at all and is stuck on the pattern lock screen.
Before we send the phone for repair under warranty she is keen to get the photos off the phone since a repair might reset the phone. I was thinking we could mount the phone as a USB device but it doesn't show up perhaps because it won't until the pattern lock is entered else anybody could get data off your phone bypassing security.
Any other things we could try before giving up and hoping the repair doesn't delete all the data?
Thanks
Boot into recovery, make a nand then extract data through adb?
adb pull /sdcard/path-to-whatever
Can you explain the path to whatever? Like if I want it in folder "A" on the desktop.

Out of interest I tried this on my GN. adb recognises the phone and adb devices shows the serial number. But adb pull /sdcard says invalid remote file. No idea what that means since using ES File Explorer sdcard is a valid directory on the phone (and I suppose it would also be on the Nexus S)

ADB "thought" you meant to copy a file.
To copy the entire sdcard directory you should do something like this:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ sdcard/backup/on/pc/
The command parameters are "adb pull <source> <destination>"
Just make sure source ends with a /

Well I finally got the phone to play with. The screen indeed dead. I installed the Google USB drivers from the SDK and also the Samsung drivers.
When I boot the phone into the recovery menu I can run fastboot devices and see the following
????0AC4B09900?? fastboot (of course the ? are not there but I wanted to anonmyuse the serial)
So far so good.
In device manager under Android Phone it show Samsung Android ADB Interface
But if I try adb devices I get nothing.
Forgot to mention my daughter said USB Debugging was turned off but I am not sure that makes any difference and anyway, we can't boot Android to turn it on
So I select Recovery and see the Android with the exclamation mark. Windows beeps to indicate that some sort of devices has been installed,
But in Device Manager no phone shows which explains why adb can't fidn the phone but not why.
I can bring up the recovery menu but still no adb
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Boot into Fastboot and flash CWM Recovery.

But it looks like I have to unlock the bootloader to do that and the phone is still under warranty so that would invalidate the warranty wouldn't it? She would like to get the data off the phone. A screen fix shouldn't zap the memory but you never know.
what this device installed CWM?? if installed cwm just bot it to cwm an goto mass storage

If you unlock the bootloader to flash CWM your memory will also be wiped, so you will loose all the photos you want to save, so don't do that.
Also if you have the USB debugging off, the ADB commands won't work. I'm afraid you're SOL, since you have the bootloader locked you can't flash a kernel with USB host, that would allow you to use a mouse to navigate in the phone and since you don't have USB debug you can't pull files from the "SDcard"... Better take it to the store and try to ask them if they can save the photos before they do anything to the phone, but i guess if it's a digitalizer problem, they won't mess with the NAND.
Check out http://www.moborobo.com/ and see if it works for you.
If you have root you have extended functionality, like control the device from the PC. But if i recall correctly, even without root you should be able to get your files.
Okay before I start I know this was really dumb of me to do. I wiped everything in my phone/sd card because something was taking up a lot space and I couldn't figure out why, so i have no roms installed at all. there's no OS running in my phone at all. I have TWRP recovery installed but I can't mount it to my computer to get a rom onto it. Any solutions???? I don't Mind going back to stock, I just need my phone back.

You need to get cwm recovery, then get a usb otg cable, and flash the from from your flash drive. You have to use cwm because I don't think twrp supports usb otg

Thanks for your reply, In CWM i get "E: Can't mount"....i'm guessing because I have absolutely nothing on my SD card and phone...I can't mount USB storage or anything =/

You need to use adb sideload. You connect it to the computer with bootloader mode on, go to your platform tools file on your computer in the android adb file, shift+right click, hit open command window here, connect phone, type fastboot flash recovery, then whatever the name of the recovery img is. And I forgot to mention that you need to have the recovery img file in the adb folder. Hope this helps

You won't find adb.exe or fastboot.exe there unless you run the setup for the SDK.
If you are not interested in setting up the SDK, I recommend you just use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790.
Also, I'm using CWM v6.0.4.7, and ADB works. I don't need to sideload anything.
I just do adb push xxxxx.zip to /sdcard/0/xxxx
Good luck!

Okay,
Basically when changing my OS from Paranoid android to Cyanogen mod 12 I messed up
I did a full data reset and factory reset on my phone wiping all the caches as well.
Unfortunately this deleted all my backups and my OS.
Now I have no OS to boot onto to and the only thing I can access is TWRP boot loader.
I need to find a way to move data from my computer to my phone so I can install the Cyanogen Mod ROM and GAPPS!!!
Please help!
BTW I know this was stupid as **** and the phone is effectively bricked at the moment.

No sorry man, mine is just 2.6.3.3 so it doesn't have those options.
Would adb be easier?
It's just getting my phone to be recognized by adb or windows that's troubling me.

Why don't update your TWRP? You can go to TWRP webpage and download new version for your model.
Adb sideload would be another option, yes.

Thanks man but don't worry!
What I ended up doing is editing the drivers for my phone in windows to make them compatible with adb. Then with a adb command prompt open I wrote "push adb rom.zip /sdcard" to get the files on my phone. Finally I installed them with TWRP like usual!
Post the driver thing?

How'd you do this? I'm at the same point you were at and I've got absolutely nothing, I'm devastated, need help ASAP
Hi,
I did an advanced wipe wiping everything - Dalvik cache, system, data, internal storage and cache.
Now, when I try to reboot, it says no OS and keeps bringing me back to TWRP. I tried the install feature but looks like there's no file in it either. My PC does not detect my phone as a hardware I think as when I tried to copy the ZIP file to it using another post which I'm not allowed to post here, the cmd commands for adb and mkdir were not recognized.
Can someone please help me salvage my phone?
In case any more details are required about the phone, happy to provide.

Go to Device management, you'll find the android composite device there. Change the driver to MTP device.
you can also try using adb sideloas
I assume you use Windows? It's probably just a driver issue. I always install official Google Android SDK, which contains proper USB drivers. Once you install it, your phone should be recognized by PC, while in TWRP.

You need to add path to adb.exe to Windows PATH variable, then reboot and cmd should recognize adb commands, or you can just navigate to folder with adb.exe in cmd. Then check if adb can see your device, if it does, then just do adb sideload of ROM, and flash your ROM in TWRP.
If it's all too complicated, just return to stock using instructions from Google factory image website.
Put a rom on a flash drive, and connect it to your phone. In TWRP, go into "Mount" options, mount the flash drive (cant remember the exact wording), and then...can't remember quite vividly how, but it's easy from there to navigate inside your flash drive and install the rom.
REMEMBER: the flash drive should be formatted in FAT32 for TWRP to recognize it.
Hi Guys, I just want to ask if there will be a possible solution on how I will be able to use my phone again. I accidentally deleted the OS and the backup of my OS. When I tried to connect my phone to a pc, the pc wont read my phone. Any possible solution on how will I connect it or any solutions for my problem. I also dont have the custom rom zip on my sdcard anymore.

Just boot into Twrp,connect your device to Pc and transfer any ROM and flash it.Gee,twrp supports mtp,which means you can transfer stuff.Alternatively,if mtp is not working for any reason,you can use usb otg as well.

I forgot to mention you can use adb sideload as well.
Since you've adb drivers installed,boot into twrp,go to advanced and enable adb sideload,connect to PC.Copy the ROM zip in your adb folder(where adb files are situated),press shift and simultaneously hit right button on your mouse,select open cmd here.Now write command "adb devices"(obviously without quotes), if all goes well,you'll see your device Id there,proceed and write command "adb sideload ROM name.zip" (where ROM name= exact name of file you're trying to flash).The flashing progress should start now.
