What everything you tried?
What do you mean by secure boot? What do you mean by bleeding robot no command loop? You mean the screen turns on and off and goes to that same screen?
You have stock recovery you cant adb push any files.
Your phone was in what mode when you were checking device manager?

i will appreciate it
Download the Android sdk and make sure you let it update to 4.4 and check the box under optional that says USB driver. You might have to at accept the token that you computer needs to interact with the phone now.
Alternatively you can download the factory image as a zip on XDA right to your phone and install it using twerp

Its windows xp and 8 i figured out that because one of the wire out of the 3 on the USB cable was cut, it was unable to recognize . still charged
so i changed the cable .....
What should i do next ?
The twrp was pre installed when i got the phone so me being a noob went to advance wipe and deleted everything trying to get rid of the trwp itself so i would be able to upgrade to new version
Do i have the option to install kitkat rom ?
thanks for reply

Hello everyone,
I have done something utterly stupid with my Nexus 5, I wiped the internal storage and lost my roms, I really wasnt thinking.
I have tried looking at options like adb sideload but cant find a decent tutorial
Could I just get a micro usb to usb adapter and install a rom off that?
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction with adb sideload?
Other problems are I can't get on the android SDK because the CMD box only flashes up.
Does the adb sideload option in TWRP actually do anything if you wait for it? Its been waiting for about 1 hour now and nothings happening.
Please guys any help is appreciated

Why don't you flash the factory image using fastboot?
The Cmd box you are referring to happens because you need to navigate to that directory using Cmd and run it from there. You cannot just click it.
Thanks but I cant get the SDK to work at all. Im still looking into it but at the moment it wont work
Please somebody help me with the SDK, I dont know what else to do.
I cant open the SDK manager and I cant open it through eclipse either.
Someone else must have had this problem before
Click the link in my signature and then "adb and fastboot. What is it?"
This will help you configure adb properly. It also helps you learn commands. Like adb push.
adb sideload is the same as push but you type sideload instead.
FYI as much as people round here say it, there is no such thing as a soft brick. Its brick or not brick.

Show down and don't panic. Your device is easily fixed. Hold the power button for 20 seconds. This will shut down the phone. Then press and hold the vol down then press the power button. That'll bring your into the bootloader.

Power + volume down button brings you in the bootloader, from there go into recovery (navigate with volume buttons and select with power button)
In recovery follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200.
Or flash the factory image in the bootloader. (that should work because you need to unlock your bootloader in fastboot)
Thanks guys,
It wasnt working because water damage had interfered with the volume buttons previously.
I have a micro usb to usb adapter now.
Can i put a rom on a USB drive and install that way?
Thanks guys

Yeah that will work too. Water damage is never good for a phone even if it stil works after that. But that's another story

Yes you can. You'll have to "tell" twrp where to find the rom zip.

Here's a hint, read rootSU's sticky rollup and look for the 15 second fastboot adb installer.

[Q] Pull data with a smashed screen

Just after updating to lollipop I completly smashed my screen. It doesn't show any usefull information and touch is not working.
Since I'm not in the mood to buy a new screen because I already bought a Note 4, I wanted to pull the data from the phone. It's pin protected but fastboot is still working, adb however is not.
After reading up a bit I found that going into cwm recovery I would still be able to acces adb.
So I with fastboot I booted cwm recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img) only to find that adb still won't find my devices.
Is there any way left to pull the data from my phone? I also have acces to a external keyboard/mouse with a otg cable but that won't seem to work either.
Boot into recovery and with your device plugged into your pc go to device manager. Do you see your device there?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
In recovery it doesn't show up.
On a normal boot it does, only no files are showing because of the pin lock.

Google 15 second adb install xda. It has drivers as well as sets up adb and fastboot on your pc which you'll need if you can get your device detected
Edit, also download the twrp image from here and boot into it fastboot boot twrp.img (use the full name of the twrp image file) cwm sucks. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead

I think I got it working, I already had adb working but it wouldn't find the correct drivers for the nexus 5.
I tried to update the drivers from google but windows said that it didn't find any correct drivers for the devices so I had to get "naked drivers" from somewhere.
After that it showed up as galaxy nexus adb interface in the device managers and adb was able to find it.
It's now pulling all the data.
Thanks you for your help!
I will report back when it's done pulling.

[Please Help]-Nexus 5 Soft brick

The Problem with my Nexus 5 is that when ever i boot my Nexus 5 up it stays stuck in the Google Logo With the Unlocked Icon on the bottom. Also, whenever i go into bootloader and i go to my Recovery Mode (Using CWR) I cleared my Cache and Dalvik Cache, Reboot and it doesn't Fix it. Since I Have Android SDK and Android Debug Bridge (ADB) on my PC i tried to reinstall Android Lollipop on my Nexus 5 And for some odd reason in the bootloader screen I plugged in my Nexus 5 to my PC, but my PC does not want to Recognize my Nexus 5, and when i run the Flash-all.bat it say's, "< waiting for device >", when i do have my Nexus 5 Plugged in.
If there's anyway you can help my solve this please tell me!
Thank's in advance! :victory:

DUDE, I held my power button for about 15 long-seconds and the device turned on like it wasn't Hard-Bricked O.O? After i had confirmed that my Nexus 5 had no signs of life by going to sprint and showing them my device, i held it's Power button for a Long time as a last resort and it just came back to life?!??! Can ANYONE Explain this, or is my phone a God? Also, my volume down rocker broke after i was pressing it really hard at an attempt to go to Recovery Mode, Then it started working when i showed it to my Bro'. Is my Phone normal?
