So, I have/had a N5 on stock 4.4.4 rom, rooted & Xposed installed with TWRP & a lollipop preview on MultiRom.
Was installing the new Lollipop .zip. In an act of hurried stupidity, I wiped my phone, including the internal storage.
Which for some reason also wiped my NANDROID backup. I thought that is not supposed to be wiped even when doing an internal storage wipe, BUT it did.
Now, all i have is TWRP on my phone with no rom installed.
I tried connecting my phone to the pc to see if i can just transfer the rom file onto the internal memory, but nothing shows up when i connect my phone to PC.
after some searching, I came to know via this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/how-to-wipe-internal-storage-install-t2575150 that i can use the ADB sideload to install the rom, using TWRP.
The problem is, when i connect my phone to the PC, the phone doesn't show up in the device manager.
So i cannot install the drivers & android SDK itself.
So, How do i Install a rom onto it?
I have a PC & a MAC, so i can use either of the machines. But i don't have much technical knowledge about stuff, I did all the above modifications with the help of tutorials & guids. so ELI5 please.
Please help!
Thank you.

Storage = including sdcard. You didn't need to do that.
If you have the latest TWRP, it has an MTP mode in the mount menu so you can simply copy a ROM.zip to the storage. Try enabling it and see if it shows up in devmgr.

Thank you for the reply.
Turns out, the TWRP i have does have the OTG option under the mount option.
I downloaded the zip from an Android Police article. I bought the phone in india & hence had the KTU84Q build of 4.4.4, So i downloaded the file mentiond in that & tried flashing it via OTG. But it is failing to flash the rom.
it shows errors like: failed to mount, Error executing updater binary & then error flashing zip.
So do i need to do anything else before flashing it?
I'm downloading a 4.4.4 rom. will see if that works. Until then, please help if I need to do something else.
Thank you.
EDIT: I flashed CM11 & it worked perfectly. then tried flashing the 5.0 zip again, but that failed. So i guess something's wrong with the zip file.

I was trying to reinstall my rom, so I format everything excepting the sd-card
but I did a mistake in the last part, I clicked format sd-card wrongly.
Now, I have no os or rom, and i cant run my android to put my files back to it from my laptop.
What should I do now?? I tried to install the rom (zip file) in the fastboot mode,
but it said i hv no system.img, recovery.img..so on..
p.s. my clockwork is still here, but just have no backup for the restortion.
Thank you very much to read this..
I really suck now..

You're able to get into Clockwork by booting to recovery from fastboot if I understand your post correctly. (If you're not, you should be able to get there by flashing clockwork from fastboot.)
Once you have clockwork up and running, you might be able to plug the phone into your computer's USB port and access it via adb. If you have adb access you're cool. I think you can mount the sdcard from the clockwork mount options, then push the rom files you want to flash to the sdcard, then you can flash them from within clockwork.
If you need full images (I'm not sure all ROMs are full images, there's some fresh clean images in the Development section people are using for restores).
Hi folks,
I might have a stupid noob question, but not able to find the answer.
I got a Motorola Xoom (EU), and I did root it the other day.
All working fine.
Now I get update notifications for 3.1, but I'm not able to install the stock update.
After the reboot, the Android logo is showing an error, and then it reboots to normal OS.
Now the question is, all instructions I found so far require an external SD Card to get a custom rom with 3.1/3.2 installed.
Is a SD card required, or can I get the same done via USB debug?
Thanks for looking at this thread.
Regards,
derchris

You need a custom version of ClockworkMod Recovery made for the Xoom. You can flash the solarnz R4c v3.2.0.0 that does require a micro sdcard (even a 2GB is fine) which will appear at mnt/external1, or you can go with Rogue recovery that will let you flash from internal storage (mnt/sdcard) or other options. It's up to you but you must be able to flash the recovery image file through adb/fastboot, since you can't flash a zip file through fastboot.
Thanks for the reply,
I used this thread to install recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img, as they had a recovery image file for adb/fastboot.
Looking through the options, I see a "mount USB storage" option, but I ended up in only having a 3 MB drive, and as soon as I exited the menu the drive was gone too.
Do you happen to know a download for an adb/fastboot image of the Rogue Recovery?
I don't have a single SD Card, thats why I would like to use USB or internal memory.

You would have to go to that thread and see if there is an option for initial install via img file. I haven't used Rogue, so I don't know.
I figured it out myself
There was an img file inside the zip, which I was able to flash to the Xoom.
Next I used Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.2 "Moray" from the internal memory, and have now 3.2.1 on my Xoom.
Thanks for the help

Do you have ADB setup? You can try and push a ROM file to the internal storage.
For Easy Flasher, you did put it in APX mode and you have APX driver install?

Hi
I'm having some problems before super wipe:
I used Super Wipe Full to erase everything because I was facing some problems on it.
I used a lot of rooms before.
Now I can just access CWM and when I try to install the room, it says: "no files found". I think is isnt reading the external sd.
I tried to send the from via cable, but my computer don't install the driver for it. I also tried to install the driver via asus page.
Any solution?
Thank you

Accidentally corrupted my phone by flashing an old rom over a new one, so decided to boot into CWM and format system and data folders.
Now I can't figure out how to copy/flash a zip of cyanogenmod onto the phone. Mount USB doesn't work.
I can't find a tutorial anywhere that explains what I should do from here as they all seem to rely on your copying the zip to your internal memory before you proceed.
Tried CWM's sideload option but ADB on my machine is saying no device found. ADB was working before so I have all the drivers etc. set up. I have the zip file of the build, I just don't know how to get it onto the phone.
Any ideas?
No worries, found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322220&page=2 and tried installing the drivers download.clockworkmod.[com]/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi despite already having working drivers that allowed me to install the whole thing in the first place.
Soon as I installed them cwm let me sideload the rom and it's all groovy.
I used freedom flex to install custom recovery and none of my ROMs were flashing so I tried a lot (including many wipes and restores) and when nothing worked I chose format in the wipe option of TWRP and it erased my whole internal sdcard. So now when I boot my device it doesn't go further than a security error upon boot and turns my device off, my twrp still works though and when I plug my phone in, its internal memory contains nothing but TWRP folder with some files inside. Also using TWRP I can see my system files are still in tact.
>>BOTTOM LINE<<
I believe if I get a copy of the whole stock internal sdcard contained in a zip folder I can extract it into my sd to replace the missing files, the security error will hopefully go away and I can be back up and running.
I'm also thinking If I can get my hands on a legit TWRP backup from an LG D959, I could maybe flash that in the custom recovery and get everything back on track.
Please if someone can get me the files I need I will forever be greatful!!! :angel:
-TWRP restore zip for LG-D959
or
-Full Copy of LG-D959 internal /sdcard in a zip folder

If you still got TWRP then you can sideload the stock firmware posted here this should solve your problem.
Or you can move that firmware to a usb and use an OTG to accomplish restoring back to stock.
