I bricked my Nexus 5 by installing the kernal from touchcontrol.
I can get into recovery mode.
I can not mount the USB storage or access any of my phones files
I've tried installing ADB drivers but that didn't help.
Anyone know what I should do to fix this?

Download the stock kernel zip from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202404 and place it in the fastboot folder. Then reboot in recovery and choose adb sideload. Open cmd and type : adb sideload namekernel.zip and press enter and that should do it, then reboot.

Sorry, you`re right. Well without usb you can`t do anything. Have you made a nandroid backup to restore in recovery?

Hello,
When the phone is in recovery mode, the file explorer won't show up with your nexus files... The fact that a sound is coming proves that the phone is being detected...
If you have setup a working adb environment you can follow what @gee2012 has said and sideload the kernel and flash it... If you haven't then download the android sdk and make sure you have downloaded the usb_driver package as well...

First, don't yet think your phone it's bricked. The actual solution is to get the proper driver on the computer. Remember that nexus 5 does not have Sdcard and there's not way to mount to the computer via recovery. Only ADB PUSH and ADB SIDELOAD will put a Rom into your phone.
You have to check on device manager to see the status of the driver. if t shows as Nexus 5, you will have to update the driver to and adb compatible one. If it says ADB........ then, you are good to go
EDIT: @vin4yak, one day I'll go to ninja school too
1.) If your device is actually bricked then a USB cable will do you absolutely no good. Fixing a "bricked" device is something that will need to be JTAG'd for it to work again. I think you might be mistaken about what a bricked device is. Its pretty hard to brick a nexus device so I highly doubt you're device is bricked.
2.) You have to get into fastboot mode. Just search for how to do so. Then you can flash the stock img's through fastboot and you'll be back in business. I have no clue about what drivers you'll need for your setup as I haven't run windows in 9 years or so. Just get the drivers, fastboot, and get your nexus back.
Why don't you just flash a boot.img from the stock rom? Or going back to stock?
You cannot mount sdcard to the pc in recovery. You have to use adb push or adb sideload.
To make adb work in recovery you need naked usb drivers 0.73.
Then you can adb sideload a rom, or push a rom to /sdcard.
Anyway download my attachment, put your phone to fastboot mode and double click on flash.bat then report me back
Check out this thread. If you can boot into recovery, then you should be able to boot into fastboot and restore your N5 back to stock.

I have a Nexus 5 that is on Cyanogenmod11, and I tried to autoflash franco kernel to make my battery last longer. I just found out that cm11 is not compatible with franco kernal, and my Nexus 5 is stuck on a screen with the Google logo, and a unlocked little icon at the bottom. I can get into bootloader, and then get into CWM mode. Help, I just want to get back into c11. I don't need my data backed up or anything, I don't want to try flashing granco kernel again or something. HELP. Please use baby terms because I do not understand anything. Walk me through everything in detail please, and explain some terms that I probably won't know.
Thanks

Thank you, I read online and it told me to do the exact same thing. I downloaded the 2 packages, and then i plugged my usb in to the computer and nexus 5, but the computer did NOT recognize my Nexus 5. Is it because it doesn't recognize my Nexus 5 because it is in bootloader mode?

bootloader is for fastboot, not adb. but your computer should still see your phone. boot into recovery to use adb. why not keep a copy of your current rom in your storage just in case? or even a nandroid backup just in case? not pointed directly at you.. but when will people ever learn?

Go to CWM and connect ur phone to PC, then choose Mount and Storage>Mount USB Storage. Your phone will be mounted on PC. Then copy the CM11 zip and Gapps to phone SD and flash them. Flashing Gapps is not necessary though IMO.

I got my phone into bootloader, than selected recovery mode. It says ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.5 at the top, and a bunch of options below. I plugged in my USB, and it made the noise that indicates that it is connected, but it does not show me the internal storage of my Nexus 5. What am I doing wrong?

it wont. you need to use adb to move whatever files you want to your phone. it wont show you whats already there. for that, you can use your recovery to see whats zip files are in your storage(in twrp you can also look what other files are there, not sure of cwm recovery.

adb push them to your phone(while you are in recovery), then flash them in your recovery. dont worry about wiping anything, just flash them(dirty, without wiping, so you dont lose any data).

one post says you have adb installed, the other says you have it downloaded.. which one, lol?
if its installed, all you have to do is adb push the files to your phone. when ypu push them, be sire to write the exact name of the files when you push them.
first, make sure adb sees your device when its plugged in via usb, type.. adb devices
2nd, push your files.. adb push cyanogenmodromfilename.zip and then adb push gapps.zip

I can't mount the usb storage so i can put a rom on it from a computer. It says it's unable to find storage partition to mount to usb. I have no OS on there so I can't boot to anything. All I have is a recovery.
Why don't you just flash it with fasboot?

Yes, Flash stock rom with fastboot or you can try "sideloading any rom" and then flashing it.....

while are in the bootloader you are able to flash a recovery like clockworkmode, then reboot into recovery.
if you got the correct driver you should be able to connect to your moto g while in recoery with adb.
then you are able to push, adb push *.zip /directory, or adb sideload *anyrom*. (dont forget to use install zip/use sideload..)
enjoy.

Thanx 4 the quick response. I'll try it.
hello everybody,
so my phones speakers stopped working and I couldn't fix them so I went to twrp recovery and executed a factory reset. This resulted in the device hanging at the boot screen. I then spent half an hour trying to get the drivers working and when it finally saw the phone and I wanted to sideload the 33R zip it just gave me this long list with possible command (see screenshot attached).
in fastboot it's not seeing the phone for some reason
I have access to the following:
TWRP Recovery
Fastboot
Any idea on how to get my phone working again?

First on your PC try typing adb devices it should return the device serial number in the command prompt.
If it does then in TWRP click advanced, ADB Sideload, then swipe the blue arrow.
Then on your PC command prompt type adb sideload "ROM/File Name.zip" without the quotes.
It should load from there.

Ok try adb push "ROM/File.zip" /sdcard

Try uninstalling the ones you have and installing this one.

Good luck man, I've got to get back to work.
I know the adb push "ROM/File.zip" /sdcard works because I tested on my phone prior to posting.
One last thought is your SDK might need to be updated as well.

Currently trying it on my laptop which has a fresh reinstall, removing the drivers completely will take too long.
Your driver saw it as a google galaxy nexus adb Interface, when I used adb devices it didn't see it.
EDIT: when I go to reboot it says that there is no os installed so yea...
Another Edit: I will try this driver when I get home and report back. OnePlus adb drivers windows
I managed to fix it using the oneplus one toolkit by manudroid
Hi all,
I'm running Mahdi ROM and I tried to flash the Code Blue Kernel today.
Flashing worked, but after leaving recovery the device is stuck at the google logo. No rebooting, just stucks.
I tried to flash the Kernel again, but it didn't help.
I can enter recovery and bootloader but I have issues with this F***ing ADB Drivers.
After upgrading to windows 8 I never got them running.
Hope you guys can help me out.
Thx!

Adb only works in custom recovery.
i always, always, keep the last rom on my sd storage. if need be, all that needs to be done is a reflash of your rom. which is all you need to do, just dirty flash your rom.
I am in custom Recovery atm.
What is making me kinda nervous is that the nexus root tool kit says adb is working fine.
But I have to switch between bootloader and recovery manualy, the NRTK tries it, but it doesn't work.

two words.. root toolkit.
@rootSU is trying to explain how to do it right, without root toolkits that are unnecessary for nexus devices.
Don't use toolkits. That's part of the problem here. Just use adb manually. Set it up properly after removing that piece of **** toolkit.
I know, i just used the kit to see if ADB works... becuase windows tells me, it doesn't.
Edit: OK, removed toolkit.

Your recovery is very old and your drivers still aren't correct. uninstall everything and go through my thread from scratch but probably fastboot flash the latest TWRP first.
I have problems with installing the device drivers. Never installed without any installer...
And with this:
Code:
To Install on Windows 8, you must additionally disable driver enforcement
- From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the - -- pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
- Click ‘More PC Settings’.
- Click ‘General’.
- Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
- Wait a bit.
- Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
- Click ‘Advanced Options’
- Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
- Click Restart.
