I have a 2012 nexus 7 (the old one with only one camera) I rooted it right after I bought it in 2012 and put cyanogenmod 10 on it. I decided it was time to update my cyanogenmod to 12. Everything went well at first. I was trying to download Google play and it tried to restart but never did (4 hours later). Now when I boot into recovery it says it has no OS?!?!?!
Is this thing a isles paperweight now? Is there anything I can do to get it up and running again? I was thinking if I could find an OS I might be able to download it to a PC then load it on to the tablet and install it. Where would I find a OS I can download without a million hoops to jump through?
Thank you in advance for any help I might get.

Here is the thing. I have a rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) and i accidentally bricked it a few hours ago.
I have been looking all over the internet for a way to unbrick it and found some guides. They all gave me a link to SamMobile so i could download the firmware but unfortunately the stock firmware I downloaded from SamMobile.com was corrupted and it took 2 hours to download.
The phone bricked because i managed to fill up the 12gb of memory it has and went into recovery to factory reset it. (I tend to factory reset all my phones from time to time). When i was about to hit factory reset i accidentally touched the button for installing a different ROM. I then proceeded without reading the warning :----)
Now. The phone can go into recovery and download mode normally. But it stays fixed in the Samsung Logo when booting.
Im going to use Odin to reinstall the stock firmware but since im a newbie at this i REALLY need an expert's advice on this. Any help will be apreciated
-Ps. Im desperate. It's my only tool (besides the old and slow emachine im typing on right now) that i use for school projects and reports, i cant afford to lose it now.
thanks in advance
Hi!
Here's a thread with stock firmware that you don't need SamMobile for.

hi everyone i am sorry about posting here but i truly looked hard across the forum and could not find any help.
My problem is simple i have an asus nexus 7 as brand new i opened the box turned it on it states it needs to update flash pro so the process gos turn on choose language pick wifi as you must before anything else , it states flash needs update before you can do anything else, loads flash install page you lick install nothing at all happens. and there i am stuck .
please help
Please finish setup of the tablet before attempting to update flash. You can and should be able to ignore that warning till you are setup.
since Adobe has ended support for Flash Player on Android, future updates to the flash player must be sideloaded and not directly like other apps. Please follow [Guide][Flash]How to play flash video on Android 4.4 Kitkat
even though the Guide is for Nexus 5, it will work for you.
If in case you have additional questions, please post in Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.
Hi!
I really need help with this one (Not much sleep has been had). I'll start at the beginning...
After owning my Nexus 5 for about a year, I did all I could with an unrooted phone. I wanted more, so I rooted it (Successfully on Android 5.0.1). Then I wanted to do a dual boot. Ended up going for MultiROM manager installed from the play store.
Long story short, the phone wouldn't boot back into stock Android OS, tried to remove MultiROM manager from recovery mode... and managed to format the entire disk...
Every guide I follow, I get stuck on getting my device to be recognised by adb. (I've installed Java JDK, Android Studio and all relevant SDK packages... i think, but worth a check)
Fastboot works fine however.
Is there another way that will work in my situation, I can't have been to only one to do this!?
Thanks in advance for any help!!

I rooted my SM-T111 with method given here:
http://techbeasts.com/2014/07/09/install-cwmtwrp-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-lite-sm-t110sm-t111/
Well rooting went smoothly,afterwards I just simply went to Recovery Mode(Just to explore).Afterwards I decided to reboot into system and kept aside my tab and went to complete some work.When I came back I found that it was still at the TWRP recovery page.I tried rebooting again and again and again...
Everytime I kept returning to the same screen.
I searched around the web and came across some solutions,however none of them are completely for my device so I want to ask for some advice.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570879
Considering that I never actually Flashed a ROM or Did an OTA update , would the above mentioned methods work without f*cking my tab more than it already is.
Should I flash a ROM for SM-T111 and check or After flashing ROM use the code or do something else.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Any Help is appreciated.

I bricked my nexus 5 by installing elementalx. I installed the right version and all. It was taking hours to boot it was staying on the boot animation. So i consulted a guide, like any other person. I wiped the partition that had android installed, as the guide said. But when it came time to use the ADB sideload feature that twrp includes, my pc will not detect my device whatsoever, adb or fastboot. I am freaking out. Please respond ASAP anyone. I have no OS installed now. All I have is TWRP. It was running 6.0.1 marshmallow.
