Do you have OTG cable in the first place?

If yes, and you're using TWRP, just drag your files into your pendrive and connect to your phone.

Conditions:
1) You have an OTG cable.
2) You must have TWRP installed instead of CWM.

TWRP can flash from OTG

Unfortunately, no. Am I fukced?

Nah... You ain't. Ask sifu springfall teach you ADB.

What did you do to your phone actually?

You wiped System?

Yeah, I did. I guess I shouldn't have done that. What is it for? Just what must you wipe before installing a new ROM? I think I can flash the stock ROM using Galaxy Nexus ToolKit but it stated that my internal storage will be gone. I don't want that.

hands on S4 today , i m not impressed , still prefer aosp /vanilla ui rom.

That's your problem.

Summary:
Wipe System = Wipe ROM = like your PC without Windows/Mac but your User Data Remains.
Wipe Cache/Dalvik cache = as the name says, just Cache, suka suka wipe also nvm
Factory Reset = Wipe Cache + Wipe Apps Data BUT ROM Remains User Data Remains too.

Only these options are necessary. Never click other options else you got your phone wiped clean clean.

Definition:
User Data: Your personal "belongings" - Pictures/Music Files etc, not inclusive of Apps Data
Apps Data: All the apps and their respective data

You sure you wanna flash factory image? That will wipe your internal SD. Your phone will be as clean as new!

I know, that's why I don't want to...yet. Is there any way to revert to the old ROM somehow?

yes flashing stock rom will wipe the whole phone, so the only thing left is to do adb pull to pull file to ur pc...

or push rom file to phone

try google a bit on adb

adb push c:\romfolder\rom.zip /sdcard

c:\romfolder\rom.zip = source of the file

/sdcard = destination

*change the directory accordingly*

In what state must I use adb? In recovery mode?

im currently doing assignment out of house without comp.
but look for adb push files to phone in the toolkit.
then in the install location of the toolkit, u download a rom (any rom that is 4.2.2)
google search aokp, find for maguro then download.
then find the folder (put files to be pushed here) where u install toolkit.
then boot fast boot (vol + - power)
then connect to pc. and boot the toolkit
then choose the option push files through adb.
thenit will ask u select files.
then u chose /MNT/sdcard/ <<<location to push file.
then u reboot phone to twrp/cwm
choose then flash img.
then find the file u just pushed.
then flash n reboot.
u should be able to boot into aokp

to push must be in fastboot mode (android with stomach open)
recovery mode is either cwm/twrp/stock rec

also btw, u can always try flash stock google image.
if u downloaded the latest version, flashing stock google image (the 1 u previously mention step 9 something)
u can choose the option to not wipe ur sd card. (MAKE SURE U CHOOSE THAT!)

I thought he already got CWM/TWRP installed. Wipe System no wipe Recovery right?

he got cwm/twrp so he must have wiped his rom and have no rom.
hence i ask him push a rom in to flash through cwm/twrp
easiest compared to messing with stock

zzz... spamming posts... TS srry...
4.13 am outside house in labs sooooo cold....

Soooo, I tried the stock route and it worked. Thank god. Thanks everyone. Now, to flash a custom ROM. Only choose wipe Cache/Dalvik cache and Factory Reset, right?

yup..thats the way....u can learn here...step by step with video...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828061

Hmm, despite the fact that I chose NOT to format internal storage, I think it still did. -.- Because the internal storage has only 4.15 GB left. If not, the internal storage should have around 10GB of free space right?

Is there any way to have unrestricted access to the phone's files by using the computer?
