I've also been searching for weeks with no luck. But I think there is still hope. We just need to unlock our bootloader. How? Well that's what we need to find out.

Dude. I think we really should find it out because there is so much potential in this phone when it is rooted. Additionally, I think I have found a way in unlocking the bootloader of our device. This may help.

I tried that method a couple of times, but it didn't work. The only solution I could think of is unlocking the boot loader first. After we've unlock it, any method of rooting will work.

Try Framaroot app....
Please Don't Forget to read the forum rules... you must add an appropriate title to the thread... [Q] is just an addition to make the thread type more clear.... Thanks...
whoops!
I tried Framaroot and I get an error message that says "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot" I don't know why. I've got usb debugging activated and there is nothing special about this tab. it's old lol Argh!
maybe you have to unlock the bootloader first!

Well that would be the easy way huh? Ok, another stupid question, and I apologize as I am very very new to this...How do I unlock the bootloader? I did download an emulator on the tablet and tried to type in adb something and it didn't work. Again, I am sorry to be such an idiot when it comes to this stuff...but I find it fascinating and I am just trying to learn.

This would be ideal but it uses SimpleTool and I cannot find that anywhere. When you click the link, it takes you to a page that is no longer active.
I can't root my S4 because it's on AT&T and from what I understand AT&T has locked the bootloader and no one has figured out how to unlock just yet but this little Acer tablet should be a cake walk but apparently I am not the pastry chef because I am stumped.

nothing wrong you can ask ....bootloader is a kind of security put by the manufacturer and after unlocking this will wipe your data .... and its not necessary that every phone/tab has a locked bootloader ....for eg. most of the samsung phones have bootloader unlocked whereas htc phones you have to do that manually ...it differs from every manufacturer so im not preety sure that it has a locked bootloader ....... so u gotta try if root doesnt work maybe its locked bootloader
So here's the thing, I'll try to be as short as possible. I was watching this video of this guy (how to root the nexus 5 (safest method)) showing how to root the nexus 5. But everything went wrong and I accidentally wiped the entire phone, now I have no OS.
I have installed a bunch of drivers and stuff here, but don't know how to use them. Please, if someone can give me a stupid proof solution to this, I would be very thankful.
tl;dr: I have no OS and would like to restore my Nexus 5.
Please, guys, I'm desperate. I have a test in 5 hours and already should be sleeping, but I simply can't. I've screwed everything up. Please, help.

First you need to setup adb/fastboot. Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
After it's setup properly, follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
This should be enough fix your device.
Since I've helped you, would you do me a favor by READING THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU START MESSING WITH YOUR EXPENSIVE DEVICE IN THE FUTURE!!!

Both links in my signature and the post above this one.
This is hardly an issue, solved in a couple minutes. Next time do some research before doing anything to a device that you paid for.
Don't want to do your research? Then sell the Nexus 5, get a locked down Samsung device/iPhone and don't mess with it.
If that is true and you dont have a clue what ever gave you the idea to try and root your phone jesus if you aint got a clue do some homework and learn, there are walkthroughs on this site or just google it........

1. Relax. Its a nexus. This can easily be fixed.
2. We all start somewhere. When we all were noobs to this we all wiped our devices and freaked. Again don't panic. And ignore the guys cursing your noobness. But one thing is for sure - after you fix this, read before you leap.
3. As someone else recommended - there is a tool called wugfresh nexus root all in one...or something like that. Just follow the link in his post. This us a great tool and will save you some pain. Its well laid out and will fix your issues. Just follow the steps. Keep this program handy and on your computer. If you intend on flashing Roms eventually you will make a mistake and wipe your phone again and this will save your bacon.

The answer has already been given.
Choices are:
1) Learn to use fastboot. Return your device to stock.
2) Lear to use adb. push a rom.zip to your sdcard to flash via recovery
Click the link in my signature. ALL important guides are there.
Read the following:
"adb and fastboot. What is it?"
This will help you to do 1 and 2, whichever you decide.
Oh my god thank you so much
Thank you so much!! I was able to restore it!!! What a relief.
Now I'm really afraid to try and root it again. I think I'm gonna read a lot more about it, then, when I feel safe enough, I'll do it.
Again, I cannot express how grateful I am to all of you.

Just basically go through all the threads linked in my signature. Theres lots of info there. What you did is very common amongst TWRP users. Its an easy fix so nothing to be concerned about, but do try to learn adb and fastboot

-2 for the guy saying "read before you leap" then suggesting a toolkit..
I'll just add, with TWRP if you have an OTG adapter you can plug a thumb drive into the phone and flash a ROM that way. Every now and again I like to start fresh and will copy a ROM onto a thumb drive, I'll wipe the entire phone then re-flash. You'll just have to Mount USB-OTG from the menu.
tbh I dont even know why people use toolkits.
'fastboot oem unlock'
'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
Device rooted.
Why do you need a toolkit for that?

Not everyone is comfortable using command prompt to fire lines as they think they will mess up (especially people who are new). The toolkits do these things in the background when the user clicks on a button and hence he/she thinks it's the easy/safe way around it without knowing the consequences of it.

Why bother? The OPO has an easily unlockable bootloader, so you can root, install a custom recovery and ROMs if you so desire.

Fair enough, you could try it and if it works install titanium backup and backup your apps. Then it would be slightly less hassle to unlock the bootloader. I'm not so sure of the outcome if it doesn't work properly or go wrong, but worse case scenario you may need to wipe to sort your phone out anyway.
I know man, I know
I was simply hoping to find anyone who had already used to get some feedback: I really have no time to restart from zero on the phone, in case anything goes wrong with titanium, helium or anything else.
In addition, my phone works like a charm, have no issues at all: I'd rather not touch it

What about using fastboot to root? You dont need to unlock and wipe, see the below posts and thread for info. Safer than using an 'exploit'.

King doesn't work. The only way to root is by unlocking the bootloader. It's best to research a phone when you're buying it, then you'd just unlock the bootloader before committing data to the device.

Ok I think I really may have messed up big time with this guys so I'm begging for some help.
]So I just recently bought a AT&T LG G3 on ebay in excellent condition everything worked great until I started experimenting. I rooted it using KingRoot but later decided I'd rather use another method of root because I prefer SuperSu to manage my root access...Anyways to make a long story very short. I needed to get into download mode but Kill Switch had already locked me out because I rooted it..I did not know that McAfee would lock my phone when I rooted.. and so as a last ditch effort I attempted to wipe the entire drive and re-flash the OS well to my surprise that did completely erase the OS as expected but not the Kill Switch. So now im stuck at LG Welcome screen and cant do anything.. I'm at the mercy of the web help PLEASE!!! smh

Yea the SIM unlock is permanently locked and I havent even had the opportunity to put a unlock code in. After finally getting the Download mode working and getting the OS back on it Dial 2945#*850# to insert unlock code and it says "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked" I haven't even made a wrong attempt at it yet its just already locked.
