Accidentally formatted sdcard prior to flashing

Hey guys, I need some help here
I accidentally formatted the sdcard when preparing a clean flash. I also formatted system ect. so now all I can do is boot into recovery but no files to flash.
Is there some way I can transfer files to the sdcard og another way to get the device working again?
Thanks in advance.

You are softbricked. Restore factory image using wugfresh

Download the factory images, boot into bootloader (not recovery) by holding power+down, then flash the factory images.

I'm in exactly the same boat here, but every time I try to use fastboot commands, I get a write failed. I'm fairly certain the drivers are installed properly, as fastboot devices shows me the device. What else could be done?

Give the exact steps and exact messages, cut and paste is best, otherwise there is not enough info to go on.

I installed the drivers using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.5. (I used option #2, which is to install the signed drivers.)
I copied the extracted contents of the Nexus 7 4.2 factory image into my adb folder. I ran a command prompt in that folder.
I type: fastboot devices
I get: 015d25687443fe0f fastboot
I type: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.13.img
I get: FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
I type: fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jop40c.zip
I get: FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

Well, I don't know how or why, but I just tried the same thing again using the Nexus Toolkit and it worked this time. I'm booting into a stock ROM right now.

Im unable to turn on USB debugging, cause i have no ROM. What to do?

Out of interest why didn't you just run the small script that comes with the factory image to wipe and reflash everything.
It's what I did to make sure I had a nice clean install.
Or were you trying to keep some data from /data for example.

[Q] TWRP flash via Fastboot failing

I just took my good ol' Streak 7 to update it as I see some nice JB action here. But as I understand any manipulation to be made needs TWRP to be present on device. As GooManager wasn't instaling recovery the simple way, I decided to download image and flash it via Fastboot. Yet every single time it failed to do so.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrps.img
sending 'recovery' (4822 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Invalid argument))
finished. total time: 0.000s
I was flashing the latest (2.6.x) version. Also my device is empty atm (had 3.2, now has nothing). Custom Recovery is CWR 5.
Need help to flash the TWRP and begin using JB roms.

YOu need to use the NVflash pack, which write the recovery.img to the correct partition at a lower level than fastboot.
The error you are seeing is due to Dell screwing things up and resulting in fastboot being able to read the partitions name value.

Seems that all download links for nvflash pack for DS7 are now dead both on xda and google.

[Q] Razr I Failed flashing process

Hi - I've started receiving a bunch of errors on my phone indicating a lot of processes are failing. Have tried resetting app preferences after searching through a lot of forums but these problems still persisted. Factory reset didn't help either. I'm bootloader unlocked and rooted so thought I'd flash a new ROM via RSDLite. I am unable to do this either. I receive the error "Failed flashing process. 1/12 flash gpt "gpt_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL.." (see attached screenshot). On the phone itself I see the following:
E: Can't read /dev/block/misc
(I/O error)
E: Failed to get BOX sync msg from MISC
Fastboot Reason: Reboot to bootloader
fastboot: max download size: 100Mb
USB connected
Getvar max-download-size
Downloading ...
Flashing gpt ...
E: re-partition failed: Device or resource busy
Fastboot command failed
I fear this means I have a corrupted internal SD card so no way to fix... however I'm no expert on this. Any idea how to fix please?
Thanks,

UPDATE
Without any further tinkering on my part the phone is no longer able to boot up. It's now alternating between the "intel inside" logo and motorola logo. Also feels pretty warm. I'm kind of giving up on the device and have ordered a new phone already. If anyone has a quick fix to revive it then feel free to let me know else will use it as a nice paperweight. Thanks.

Razr I stucks on bootloop

U copy/pasted another forum post , ah well it works.
It is indeed that your phones memory is corrupted.
I maybe have a solution, but first i need to know what firmware u are using.

Can't flash a single custom rom. Help Needed.

So I don't know what has happened but I can't flash even a single custom rom. The problem occurs in TWRP as well as CWM. Also I am on the stock partition. Tried the modified partition too. The problem is still occuring no matter what I try. The following case is of SOKP. Every other rom also has the same problem. Even after trying it via adb the problem persists.
After I select the zip file in the recovery mode,the installation starts. After that, it says:
Patching system image unconditionally...
blkdiscard failed: Invalid argument
E : Error in/data/media/0/SOKP-L_5.1.1-LMY48B-R3-20150525-cancro.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Have you checked whether your bootloader is locked or not (because of that damned MIUI MM)? Try sending through fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
If the "Device unlocked" comes out as false, then unlock it first by sending through fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
It'll wipe all the content of your phone though...

Extend your partition first, you'll be fine then. There is manual tutorial in Mi3 General sub forum.
