[Q] Wiped with no rom to install, only have recovery now... - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So yeh i wiped and thought i had a rom to install, didnt though. mistake on my part i know. can someone link or help me install the correct drivers so i can get adb working to push a rom so i can my phone up and running again?
when i boot into recovery it is only showing up as 'AOSP ON HAMMERHEAD' with the little yellow error triangle in device manager.
like i said i just need help getting a rom pushed on my phone
EDIT: im thinking about just restore stock unroot cause you can just do it from fastboot. is there anyway to get my data off before that or would you suggest just pushing a rom?

Google 15 second adb install xda. Should be everything you need. Then push a rom onto your device.

Edit, if you get adb working you could pull your sdcard. Personally I think it's easier to get a rom working and then using mtp to drag and drop what you want off your sdcard to your pc

yeah everytime i try and do that it says it doesnt work. the 15 second tool worked for when it was booted in a rom but now its in recovery and the driver isnt correct. might just completely wipe and unroot and go back stock...

Restart both the devices and try again. If that doesn't work again then
download the latest google drivers and try with them.
edit-http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
But since its working for you when android is booted I see no reason for it not working in recovery mode. obv it needs to be installed correctly. Btw what recovery r u using?

Mine was doing the same. Let your battery get down to like 25% and then enter the command. The update won't install because of low battery. Then you can go into titanium and freeze software updates. Make sure you're not plugged into a charger when you when you enter the command.

took a while to wear my battery down, but got it done and so far so good. Thank you for the tip.
I had to uninstall the software update instead of just freezing it (I don't have the paid version). I figured freezing and uninstalling would have the same result ultimately. That shouldn't cause any problems right?

[ROOT] With towelroot!

Hey Guys. So Some of you may know towelroot was just released by Geohot. I went ahead and tried it on my G2 runing stock 4.4.2 and it WORKED! I ran root checker after running the apk and it said I have full root level access. You just have to download SuperSu from market afterwards. I downloaded root explorer and was prompted with the prompt to grant root and all was well!
Link to original post: http://tinyurl.com/pykqkpt
1. Go to http://towelroot.com/
2. tap the logo for apk
3. Run the apk and follow directions within
4. After phone reboots, Install SuperSu
ALL DONE!
A side note, I haven't tried using rom manager to install custom recovery as I'm not sure if we've found a button code. If someone is willing to help me with that Id be grateful. I can't afford to brick this phone as it's my only phone work work and play.
AWESOME.
Can anyone else confirm this before we try? any bugs?
And how do I go about installing TWRP recovery (or any other suitable recovery)
All is working fine, flash twrp recovery with autorec app by cloudy.
As a side note, please donate to Dev if you can. I know i did.

It worked for me, but can we install custom roms now since we can use autorec to install twrp?
This was already posted in the top level apps section for lg g2
I tried to install recovery with an app called RecoverX, it claimed to do its job but I can't get the device to reboot to recovery. Tried holding the power/volume down like they say but it didnt work.

When I see they said it would root a S5 on VZW I was pretty hopeful. I knew this was coming real soon. But I went ahead and did it the hard way anyway.

Just to clarify, you've managed to install TWRP on your G2 and boot it into recovery with autorec? Just want to make sure before I try.
Never used autorec so if you've got a guide to link to that'd be great.

too late I used a autorec and actually got the phone to TWRP. I then proceeded (stupidly) erasing everything and wiping the device because I thought I'd be able to mount it and copy the CyanogenMod file I wanted.
Boy was I wrong.. TWRP did not allow me to mount the device to USB. And for some reason I couldn't get the right driver to install in Device Manager.
At one point I decided it would be a good idea to restart, now I'm stuck at boot loop and I can't get back into TWRP. I tried holding power+down, that forces it to restart a bunch of times. I held the UP button but that puts it into FIRMWARE UPATE mode which also doesn't allow ADB
How do I get back to TWRP? how do I flash Cyanogen mod through ADB
Any ideas please?

Hold vol down + power button until screen flashes black followed by lg screen release buttons and quickly press both again and hold. It will boot you to a white screen asking you if you want to fully factory restore...press power to agree... Since twrp replaced factory recovery it will not wipe but instead take you into twrp...takes a couple tries sometimes... You need cm and gapps packages on your internal memory to flash through twrp
If you wiped everything you will have to start over by flashing the original firmware again. It happened to me too because I didn't have the ROM I was flashing on my device already. I used this guide, http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo, to flash back to stock JB, then upgrade again. Just be sure the rom is you want to flash is on your phone since USB won't work. It's no guarantee though, esp. since there is that driver error.

What are you trying to accomplish connecting to computer?
Nevermind I forgot you can choose files from computer when connected...but yeah...may need full restore...there are a few step by step threads on here to do so
Same problem I encountered, so I just figured USB is a no go and had to do the firmware update and then start over with ROM and GAPPS on device next time.Hope you get it...it sucks with all the excitement and all the time us G2 owners had to wait!
Ugh. This sucks. this file is taking forever to download for some reason and I'm in no mood to start dealing with this ****.
I'm just going to take it to the T-Mobile store tomorrow.
It's rooted and they will check it with their diagnostic tool and tell you sorry. Just firmware update it to lose root first. Use this...easy...http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Nexus 5, it's that I cannot boot ANY Android (No android at all, just shows Google logo)
I can get into Recovery mode, but the phone is EMPTY (no rom on it).

Any suggestions guys ?

Anyways guys thanks for help !
If you can see the Google logo when you turn on your device and can go into recovery, it's not bricked. Bricked means it will not turn on at all. It's essentially just a "brick" with no possible way to recover.

Completely agree. And by this rule, there is not really such a thing as a software brick either.
That said, I do sometimes use the term "Radio Brick" when a Rdio flash has gone wrong and it cannot be fixed without being sent to the Vendor. Can't think of a better term.

By that term, anything nonrecoverable can be considered a brick which is still more accurate than a device being bricked or software bricking a device yet it can still be turned on and/or charged.
Anyway, I say all that to say to the OP and all who think they are bricked, all is not lost if your device functions at all.

Installed TWRP on StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III - now no OS! - resolved

I have a rooted StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III (with the stock AOSP ROM) that I just screwed up. I had used EZ-Recovery to flash TWRP 2.2.0 to the phone. Now TWRP says there is no OS! I can only boot into TWRP - nothing else. It won't even let me power-down the phone. Is there some way I can recover from this, or do I now have a very expensive electronic brick (that runs TWRP)? I have adb installed on my laptop and I know it works, so that's one possible route to recovery. Any help would be much appreciated!

That's the file I am offering to host on my Website, since nobody seems to be able to download it from Dropbox. I'm having trouble downloading it from Mega... Since the file is over 1 GB, Mega insisted I needed to download their extension, but it's not compatible with Firefox 22. I tried Chrome, and Mega says that Chrome on my laptop is "a bit outdated"... sheesh! I'll try and update it.
(added later) - I found a Dropbox link for the file and it's downloading now.
If you want to FTP the file to my Website, let me know by PM and I'll give you the username and password.
I tried using fastboot to install CWM Recovery, but fastboot is eternally "waiting for device" even though it's there (adb can see it).
Aug. 7 - Got the file I needed, but didn't use it since Windows7 would not recognize the phone even after I installed the drivers. (I think it was an issue with automatic updates being disabled...) In the meantime... I tried the button-combo for the bootloader (which I swore I tried the day before and it didn't work), and the phone booted into the bootloader! From there, I pressed "Volume down" to cancel & reboot the phone, and it went into the stock system - it was all still there! First thing I did was immediately use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 5.8.4.5. - Issue resolved!

In that thread go down to method 2 of getting a custom recovery. I downloaded cwm touch from the link there and then installed it with android terminal emulator using the codes that it says to type in. I tried to look up that stock rom but I didnt find it. Its on the forum somewhere in a thread about how to root the straight talk s3 and how first you need to download and flash the h1 baseband stock rom
Thanks I found the stock rom fixing it now.

Have you gotten recovery installed and straightened out yet?
Let me know if you need some help, tell me where you're at and what you've got going on with what you have.
I returned phone to stock. The recovery wasn't in the right place obviously. So that's where I am . Stuck back at stock. Thanks for any help you can give.

Are you on stock not rooted or you are rooted?
Do you have stock recovery or custom.
I can get you to wherever you need or want. Tell me what you need or where you'd like to be.

I have combined 2 s3's to make one good one. This is the proper thread for the model of the chipset. The phone has been worked on buy someone who only thought they were a genious. I've found traces and from surfing the forums I'm pretty sure I know what they did even. I'm gonna grab these stock images and flash back to stock. I just wanted to put a word in now to see how dead this thread is. BTW just for the record easy safe root is achievable with safroot for Att g s 4. I've confirmed that. Root is no issue. Modem drivers are jacked up. I want what I have now with WiFi in tact and custom recovery. Just wanted to get the word in in case I hit a wall with recovery as I am now before the flash to stock. Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry for the ramble

That's the file I am offering to host on my Website, since nobody seems to be able to download it from Dropbox. I'm having trouble downloading it from Mega... Since the file is over 1 GB, Mega insisted I needed to download their extension, but it's not compatible with Firefox 22. I tried Chrome, and Mega says that Chrome on my laptop is "a bit outdated"... sheesh! I'll try and update it.
(added later) - I found a Dropbox link for the file and it's downloading now.
If you want to FTP the file to my Website, let me know by PM and I'll give you the username and password.
I tried using fastboot to install CWM Recovery, but fastboot is eternally "waiting for device" even though it's there (adb can see it).
Aug. 7 - Got the file I needed, but didn't use it since Windows7 would not recognize the phone even after I installed the drivers. (I think it was an issue with automatic updates being disabled...) In the meantime... I tried the button-combo for the bootloader (which I swore I tried the day before and it didn't work), and the phone booted into the bootloader! From there, I pressed "Volume down" to cancel & reboot the phone, and it went into the stock system - it was all still there! First thing I did was immediately use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 5.8.4.5. - Issue resolved!

Does anyone have a good link for h1 stock. All the links I can find including aa51 are dead. I need to go stock to fix the modem. I can handle everything from there I just need stock and I've trolled XDA , aa51, and several others. All links are dead. Probably for a long long time . any help is greatly appreciated

Help!

My sd card is empty I flashed the wrong kernel and my phone won't boot. What can I do? How does sideload work?

reflash your rom, dirty(dont wipe a single thing). and if you dont have your rom/kernel in your storage, well, you just learned an important lesson. adb push/sideload will be your only option(besides flashing the factory img). use google to find the instructions to adb push/sideload.
Look under q&a on how to flash factory image. Did you volume down/power button to get to recovery?

Unless he has TWRP then MTP is an option.

Got it fixed. Managed to sideload a ROM from my PC to my phone. Pain in this rear because I was using an old computer. Learned my lesson.

Always worth having adb and fastboot set up and ready to go.
Also, anyone with TWRP shoudl update to 2.8, because MTP access is an absolute game changer! I'm actually really impressed with WRP now. I didn't think i would be.
