Hi!
I think I may have bricked my phone. I superwiped but I forgot to put a ROM
so now I have nothing on my phone.
Can I flash a ROM from my computer to my phone?
Thx in advance!
Flash a stock image using the Google images, then you can re-flash a custom one
If you still have cwr, mount USB in cwr, put a rom on there, flash from. If you don't have a recovery, you should be able to adb push the recovery file and flash through boot loader, then mount USB in recovery, copy rom to phone, flash.

Fastboot and download mode are your friends ;-)

+1 What he said! /\
look at thread that has the odin stock rom
If you're a n00b then why on earth did you unlock the phone in the first place? Surely you should've researched what you were doing in case something like this happened?

all is very easy to fix
1. Change ROM name to rom.zip
adb shell
mount /data
exit
adb push rom.zip /data/media
Now reboot into recovery and flash ROM.
Its all in here

This has helped me out twice already, and its where the factory images will be when the OTAs start, so of you're impatient and want them as soon as you can get them here

I think we need to put up a sticky again explaining what "brick" means.

Did adb work before? Sounds like the drivers aren't installed properly
And if you are trying to use the images from what I linked earlier you need to be in fastboot not adb

Thx everybody for the help. I didnt know that you should use adb in recovery mode.
So my friend brings me his gsm nexus and is not loading up stays stuck and loading Google screen but does nothing from there..... I asked him what he had done and he said he went into cwm since he was having problems with his phone and decide to format everything on it sdcard/system/ etc etc etc..... I never done something so stupid before lol So I really don't know how to help him...... any way to be able to flash a stock rom maybe via odin ? or stock anything to get the phone to boot up again ? any help is greatly appreciated....... I could boot it up in recovery mode but since sd card is empty I can't restore any roms or any backups since he seem to have deleted them all
well your friend formatted the /system directory so there is no rom on there. of course it wont boot up.
follow this to go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
DO NOT USE ODIN.
also, tell your friend to leave the phone stock until he knows what he is doing.

ya he used so many pronouns and friend references, sounds like a panic and just doesnt want bashed on the forum lol
yes as Z said that will fix the OP's phone
his 'friend' rooted his own phone and doesnt know how to fix it so he hands it to soemone else that doesnt know how to fix it? you should point your friend to XDA, its a great resource
I guess if you guys wanna say is me doesn't really bother me.... I use xda to flash and stay up to date with the community I am in no way a developer or claim to know what I am doing.... Just trying to help a friend out or like you guys say me.... Just trying to fix a phone I was the one that rooted the phone for him... Just don't see the big deal..... But hey if it makes you guys happy saying it was me that did it I don't mind no big deal just looking for help thats all.....

OP, you might want to uninstall the drivers you currently have for 'android 1.0' in device manager, reboot the computer and then try installing the new drivers.
Or use a tool kit to download a factory rom and flash it.

In the dev section there is a tutorial on how to restore a phone from soft brick. I realize you're not actually soft bricked, but it has instructions about sideloading zip files to recovery. Might help you.

If you're using TWRP you can go to advanced>adb sideload and use the 'adb sideload <filename>' command to push a ROM to the phone which will then automatically install. That way you can avoid losing root.

i tried to use adb but it doesnt work,,i just done by restore LGSPST...IT WAS EASY I UNROOTED AND RESTORED ,,,,AND AFTER THAT I ROOTED AGAIN,,,,
Problem:
Optimus G E975 - ADB does not work after (FreeGee) TWRP update 2.6.3.0.
What happened:
Was on CM10.2 TWRP 2.6.0.0 and ADB worked fine. Used FreeGee to update TWRP.
Booted to recovery, wiped _everything_. Now adb does not work at all (device does not show up in "list").
I can see Yellow triangle with exclamation mark in windows device manager (LG-E975).
Any suggestions? I havent dared to boot, so Im still in TWRP. TYIA!

What rom are you on? With cm-10.1 (android 4.4.2) or later you have to accept your RSA keys for adb to work. If you wipe data it wipes the stored rsa keys so you have to accept it again.
Also using freegee to update twrp is fine. It now detect if you are already unlocked or not, and if so only installs the new recovery.

I was on CM10.2
RSA keys are good point. But shouldnt TWRP notify about this (I know CM notfied this earlier, but I cant boot now, can I?
Atleast TWRP warns me about booting (NO OS INSTALLED - ARE YOU SURE YOU WISH TO BOOT?).

Adb devices doesn't ask to accept rca keys if you are on recovey, I think he needs to install adb drivers again.

And I think if RSA is missing, adb should show device in list (as OFFLINE)
Installing LG UNITED MOBILE DRIVER again was my first guess too. But doesnt seem to work (LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1).
For some reason, Im afraid that FreeGee did something wrong. Maybe wrong TWRP version (wrong device)?
And now windows drivers do not work correctly? (device manager has yellow triangle @ LG E975)
If TWRP reports windows device id, this could be the case?
Is it safe to boot? Can I still get back to TWRP?

I had the exact same issue yesterday.... while connecting the phone in recovery mode to your system, you have to install the LG united mobile drivers 3.8.1, and then update the same from device manager... select the yellow exclamation mark, update driver... now your device will show up in adb but as offline, but still you can push a cwm or rom.zip to get the phone working and restore the nandroid backup... that's how, i managed to get back mine...
BtW: I have philz recovery installed and now want to try cm11... Is CM11 already rooted or we have to flash the super su.zip like we did in houston's kk rom's???
Apologies, if asking this question in the wrong section...

There is an ADB push option in TWRP which should let you put a ROM on the phone using:
adb push PUTROMENAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/.
or
You should be able to RUU something back onto the phone. Try to get to fastboot by rebooting to the bootloader from TWRP. Then you can use something like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 Firmware update if needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436 RUU image
or
Alternatively, if you have an OTG cable you should be able to select a flash drive as a source media in TWRP.
I had a similar issue a few days ago when I wiped everything including my internal storage without even thinking how am I going to get the rom.zip back on the card (all my previous phones had SD cards).
In order to avoid flashing RUU I used sideload in TWRP to load rom directly through ADB. the only issue I had was with the drivers because for some reason my PC wouldn't recognize the phone (even though I used the same PC to root it) so I downloaded universal drivers that I found somewhere on the XDA.
unfortunately I don't have the links saved but if you search sideload and universal drivers I'm sure you'll find it.

You must have misread his post. Everything was wiped. There is no way to go to settings, etc. There is no rom.

Your options are to boot it to the bootloader manually by holding power and volume down, then go to fastboot and push a recovery to it, from there you can also push a Rom to your storage and then use recovery to install your Rom.

Once you have a recovery on there now just push a Rom using fastboot. Then boot into recovery and install Rom or if you already have a Rom on the internal storage just boot recovery and go from there.

You will need to reboot to recovery and enter fastboot

enter command prompt window change to where your adb stuff is
fastoot devices if you get a response with sn great
fastboot oemRUU
fastboot flash zip imagename.zip where imagename is the rom you want to put on
for recovery it is like

Well I got it to get into recovery. I ended up using a HTC ONE all in one kit. So I got a stock like ROM and radio and firmware to get me going. Thing is now is when I try to sideload any ROM I keep getting stuck in either a bootloop or at the Boot Image. I still have SuperCid. I tried using the how-to on changing "mid" so that way I can use any variant ROM. But apparently I dont have a way to re-zip files So now going trying to sideload CM10.2 with GAPPS. Thing is is what I do sideload I cant find in storage. I just cant figure out why a few ROMS I had before now wont boot past the boot animation or just wont flash. PLEASE HELP
