Other than ClockwordMod Recovery and TWRP, are there any other recovery systems that I can try? I'm looking to try out other ones for fun, and also I'm looking for one that would allow me to access files through USB mass storage mode from my computer while plugged in through USB.
None.
The word recovery for fun.
End result bricked phone.

/ and /data (the media subfolder hosts the internal eMMC) are ext4, so Windows won't recognise them when connected through MSC (yes, there's drivers available; no, they did not work for me).
You can, however, push/pull files through ADB in recovery, so learn to embrace that.

So true. I bricked a Galaxy Pro just by having some fun in ROM Manager when I flashed an incompatible recovery.

Sometimes the easiest way to resolve USB issues is to reboot both devices, phone and computer.
Otherwise, double check sdcard is inserted all the way and make sure on the device to select mount on computer. sdcard won't appear on the desktop until the device makes it visible to the desktop via the user selecting to share the sdcard on the desktop via usb.
Hope that helps!
It did hat to restart computer thanks been rooted on the 4g for awhile but just got a 3d

Hi, I have made a Multiboot USB-stick witch contains Win 7 install, Ubuntu Live, Hiren's and many other distros. But is it possible to some how move the files from the external SD-card on my android phone and make the computers boot directly from the phone?
Can you in that case force the phone to use the right usb-mode so that the computer recognizes it as a ordinary bootable USB-stick?
I saw some old post from 2009 where some user managed to get a computer too boot BCD from the phone. But the catch was that he had to click the "mount usb" on the phone directly after the PC started booting. And many computers may have passed the booting point before the USB-mode had finished mounting.
I tried booting Damn Small Linux from my Supersonic earlier with no luck. Android requires certain drivers to mount and the BIOS typically has the bare minimum to boot from USB, DVD, and HDD.

Ah I'm sorry. Needed to sleep some more.. it sounds like that would be difficult to do though. You would need the phone to be mounted as USB before the computer even started booting. That's way beyond me though, good luck.

It seems feasible. Never tried it..
But, i would start by looking for an app called unetbootin. Its a free app that allows you to build a bootable flash drive. I've used is several times with actual flash drives. As long as your device is setup to allow the pc to mount it as a disk, in theory it should work.
As far as android accessing the disk after its been formatted, i have no idea.
I boot in with dual sd and yumi. But I think my boot file configuration is wrong or what..cus I'm trying to boot spotmau 2011. Which is unlisted iso. Anyone can provide a small bootable file so I can try boot it..

As a Nexus 4 user, I take into note that I do not have expandable memory. When it comes to roms and backups, I tend to copy my backups and store them into Google Drive and delete them off f my device to save memory Well I've had my fun with Ubuntu for now and now I'd like to return back to Android, but because my nand is not on my device I cannot restore it. I've tried to connect my phone to my computer so I can put my nand back into my TWRP folder so I can recover back to Android but it seems that I cannot access my internal storage from neither Ubuntu not TWRP.. any suggestions?
There is a universal nexus Linux toolkit in nexus 7 android development, works for all nexus devices. You can flash your backup with that, or another ROM.

I can access my internal storage from TWRP, in fact it didn't touch my sdcard. That's weird.

Right now I am using the Nexus Root Toolkit, and I did make a backup through the program before hand, but I cannot perform the steps as it asks for. I've tried flashing stock through the program as well and I currently have no luck doing so. I have yet however to try ODIN, I may download it and see if I can get somewhere.

I may have worded it wrong, I meant as in accessing my internal storage through my computer so I can move my nandroid into my phone so I can recover from there.
I will go ahead and download ODIN and give that a try, I will post my results.

I have Samsung Galaxy Nexus, flashing with ubuntu touch/phone. on my gentoo linux after running adb as root you can push any ROM in zip file format to /sdcard
Code:
adb push NameOfRomFile.zip /sdcard/
boot into TWRP/CWM ... flash rom (presumed android rom). ubuntu phone/touch is on developer preview stage. But Canonical said ubuntu device phone will be release in October 2013 ... I doubt the phone will be something better, ubuntu does not make something new ... unless it is ubuntu ... LOL. What I wonder, it is ubuntu, but to access the phone via PC still using ADB and NOT UDB .... ubuntu debug bridge
Lol, Ubuntu Debug Bridge on Ubuntu Touch connected to an Ubuntu desktop while watching an Ubuntu TV. I think the world would explode from too much awesome.

I have s-off a recovery installed but i didnt put a rom om my phone to install after the wipe. I have attempted to us the sideloader but adb wont regognize my device. I have also tried multiple usb ports and another pc and nothing is working. any help is appreciated!
With the phone plugged in to the computer, what is shown in device manager for devices? Is there a yellow exclamation point beside one of them? If not you may have to load a different driver manually.
If you can't get sideload to work, you could always by an otg cable, load a ROM on to a flash drive connect the otg cable to the cash drive, and do it from there.

If you have twrp just mount USB storage and push a ROM to your phone.

ok well in my device manager it does show my phone and it does show a triangle next to it and it doesn't detect my phone automatically. How do install the drivers myself and where do I get those drivers. I have tried to do the sideloader thing but adb does not detect my phone. and that otg cable looks cool but how exactly does it work?

Delete current drivers and Google the correct updated drivers for your device install them restart your computer. Plug your phone in see if it's recognized.
In twrp recovery go to mounts and storage select mount USB storage. Should be able to put a ROM on your internal storage.

Its a little cable that plugs into your phones charging port, and on the other side there is a spot to plug in USB items.

This forum is now closed. hyphidragon and I were finally able to figure it out. I would really like to thank him for all the time he put in to helping me out. The solution was to flash a older stock hboot and then to run a program that returned it to stock s-off a couple builds behind. If you have the same problem and need help just give him a message and he'll be sure to help you out. Thanks for all he work guys!
No system on phone and sd is clean.
How do i put a rom in my storage if all I have is twrp.
Also if anyone has a stock 4.4 dump ill be happy.
Twrp wouldnt update from 4.3 to 4.4 when i was working.

I just googled adb sideload tutorials and found this: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-to-copy-rom-zip.html
It might not be a perfect method but I only needed to copy a file.
Which makes me wonder, why recovery doesnt let you browse your storage when connected to a pc.
