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.

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!!

Hello all. I am a relatively new member to XDA and I have actually posted this issue on the thread to from which I downloaded the custom ROM I'm running. I am using and LG G2 D800 running [ROM][5.0][CM12][UNOFFICIAL][ALL-VARIANTS] CyanogenMod 12.0 For The LG G2, which I installed about a month ago. I originally rooted my phone using towelroot and installed TWRP custom recovery 2.7.0.0. I installed 3 or 4 other custom ROMS, using just my phone, that I honestly had no idea how to root using a computer. Since, then I have learned and acquired the tools I need to root from my computer, and after trying for quite some time, was able to find drivers for my phone that allowed my computer to recognized it.
There are 2 main problems that arose about a day after installing this ROM.
Firstly, after I had installed all of the pertinent files needed to flash the above ROM, I attempted to install the beta version of SU that the thread related to the above ROM said was necessary to keep root. Well, that version did not install correctly, though the ROM did install and is working about as well as an experimental version of a ROM can....
Once the ROM had been running for about a day or so, I realized how buggy it was and decided that it would be smart to go back to a more stable ROM as Lollipop was just around the corner(Or at least a stable CM12).
So, I went to go back into my TWRP custom recovery to do a wipe then install another ROM that I had backed up. When I attempted to do this, I realized the 2nd BIG PROBLEM, my phone had stopped recognizing my internal sd card, so I was unable to view any Backups I had previously saved. So, I started researching and found the the adb shell code to get my phone to recognize my sd card, but when I tried to use the command to do so, I was given the reply that su(part of the command) could not be found. So, I posted again, and was told,"you need to re-root." Well, that is good and well, but I have tried every method I can find to root my phone from my PC, but they are all for LG G2 D800 running some lesser version of android, never 5.0....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and oh yeah, I was able to get the new Beta super SU file pushed onto my phone and saved in the remaining space it does recognize, but I couldn't actually install it to give me SU priveleges again. Basically, if I can re-root, I can get my SD card back, do a full wipe, then install another more stable ROM ASAP>
Thanks again, so so very much. Please, Please help me get this phone working. I'm feeling more and more like a fool everyday knowing Im paying for a phone I can barely even use....
Happy Holidays,
Thad
Hi,
Asking in the rom thread is a good idea. If you don't find answers there, then you can ask for help in this dedicated help thread in your device section,

I have been searching for answer over 10 days, but still can't figure out how to resolve this. I don't how exactly it bricked, it just couldn't start anymore. I can get into recovery menu, but there isn't any option to recover android. It was rooted before, and worked normally. I cant find any other way to flash any rom on it. I appreciate any help on this matter, tnx in advance!

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist!
Please register for an account so you can post to the rest oif the site. The [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread of the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting will provide a good start to resolve your issue.
What seems confusing is that there may be some Arnova's made by Archos. Archos has a forum, but sadly, Arnova does not (not finding much about your device either).
At any rate, try the thread/forum above, and be patient with regard to a response. This seems to be a rare device, so it would be harder to get the attention you need.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
The other way
I understood that the complete system is wiped out. I can use adb while its in recovery menu. I used it to transfer official system image onto it, but in its options i cant find it. I transferred it to multiple locations, all of them can be seen in recovery menu but all are empty. I wonder if there is a way to flash some other android version on it? Or some ROM like CWM, but apparently there are no official releases. And since i am not very good at this i wonder how to make sure that kernel is OK? Can such thing be done? It has Android system recovery <3e>

CWM is a recovery, not a ROM, but can be used to flash ROMs.
With 3e, you should be able to flash the stock ROM for the device via adb (called side loading). So that may work for you.
Hope this helps.

Hey guys,
So due to various reasons I am in a pickle right now and would appreciate any help I can get.
My M8 is currently running without a recovery. Hence trying to boot to recovery is not an option and I cant flash a recovery using command prompt as my phone does not get detected in command prompt. So far, I did not have any major problems except for a couple which I learnt to live with. However, as of last night, my phone refuses to boot. It has been stuck on the white HTC screen (it also displays the 'This build is for development purposes...') and I can't seem to do anything about it.
I hope to hear from you guys with suggestions soon.

I bought a 2nd hand SM-G920F. It was rooted and I really prefer an unrooted device to get the OTA. Anyhow, I went to unroot the device and it didn't go so well. It bombed right at the very end of the odin step. So I ran it again with the same rom. No luck. Right now I have a fairly expensive paperweight. I can get it to boot into recovery and download modes. I have TWRP installed on the damn thing, but the touchscreen isn't working. I can move files around with adb and fastboot, but I can't really get it do anything. I keep getting the waiting for devices thingy. It appears as if there's no OS on the phone right now, just a file structure that I can manipilate thru an adb shell. Any help would be appreciated.
