Superwiped without rom

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.

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

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

I flashed the ICS image from Google code just fine. Via fastboot.
I'm not sure what flash_image is supposed to be or why you need it. I'm pretty sure you don't need it if all you want to do is flash the ICS-images found on Google code.
If I'm a noob and don't get what this is all about... Sorry, I guess. I'll STFU

flash_image is a utilty that will allow you to flash images to partitions on your device using a terminal emulater on your device or via adb. There is no need to have an unlocked bootloader, and no need to plug your device into a computer.
CWM uses this utility to flash images. It looks like Koush made some changes to it to make it work on ICS, as the original version no longers works properly on ICS (worked fine on Gingerbread and earlier).
I'd really appreciate it if someone would quickly compile it for me. I don't have access to a linux box at the moment. Thanks.

This one comes from building ICS complete and something I had lying around from my december build.
Can't get Koush's recovery to build at all and since I am a complete noob when it comes to gcc basics and cross-compiling especially, I can't get you that one without instructions.
Anyone care to offer some educational insight... In the name of science ofcourse!

Thanks for spending time on this, but, unfortunately it does not work on ICS. If it was from a build pre-December 18, it likely won't have the modifications in it.
I'm a noob as well, and I probably know less than you, so I don't think I'd be able to write a good step-by-step...
Hopefully someone will be able to help out. Thanks again.

Correction.
Using some cyanogen magic perl scripts, I managed to unpack the official 5.5.0.2 recovery (which works fine on my ICS gnex) and from that one I could extract KOush's build of flash_image, which you will find attached to this post.
It is significantly larger than the plain ICS flash_image, which I guess means it is statically built/linked and probably supports more devices, but I can't really say anything for sure.
Have a good one.
Now... I'm still looking into building fastboot FOR arm (so that I can run it from my asus transformer).
Anyone care to help me out getting gcc to build stuff for me?

Hmmm. I can't figure this out. None of the versions of flash_image seem to work in a terminal, yet CWM and ROM Manager obviously work using it.
If anyone can help shed some light on this, it would be more than welcome.
On older devices, you could use flash_image to flash radios, bootloaders, and recoveries, either through a terminal emulator on your device, or though an adb shell on your computer.
The syntax was: flash_image partition path-to-image-file.img
Trying to use this on my Galaxy Nexus produces an error:
can't find recovery partitionfailed with error: -1
Not sure what the problem is. It would be nice to get this working, as it would give users another on-device option to flash radios, bootloaders, and recoveries, without using ROM Manager.

Unfortunately not. There must be a different syntax for the ICS version, but I didn't get around to trying to figure it out. I suppose someone could ask one of the guys that make apps for flashing recoveries (rom manager, CWM touch installer), i.e., koush et al., as they must obviously use flash_image.

The apk for ROM Manager from ClockworkMod (Koush) contains a flash_image file in the assets folder. For ROM Manager 5.0.0.1, the file is 70.66K and has a MD5 checksum of a7291696dd4fc4208e397e31aa84bc9e.
I'm going to try copying it to /system/bin, setting ownership to root.root, and setting permissions to 750. I'll then see if it works on my Galaxy Nexus (LTE/CDMA) like the old CyanogenMod flash_image used to work.
I'll post back here once I'm done.

No luck. I used the flash_image that was in ROM Manager 5.0.0.1, and I had the same problem:
Code:

flash_image recovery recovery.img
can't find recovery partitionfailed with error: -1

I also tried:
Code:
[email protected]:/mnt/sdcard/Download # flash_image --help
flash_image --help
usage: flash_image partition file.img
2|[email protected]:/mnt/sdcard/Download #
So the usage of the flash_image file is supposedly still the same. Maybe it's expecting a different name for the recovery partition (other than "recovery")?

I think the quote above is right. We prob have to use:
flash_image /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery CWM.img

I tried that. The error is the same. I also checked out the android source. The source for flash_image is bootable/recovery/mtdutils/flash_image.c .
flash_image enumerates all of the mtd partitions on the device from /proc/mtd, and compares their names with the first argument passed to it. If it doesn't find a match, it bails with the error "can't find %s partition" where %s is the first argument passed to flash_image.
You can enumerate the mtd partitions yourself. I did, and this is what I got:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ cat /proc/mtd
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00001000 "w25q80"
[email protected]:/ $
As you can see, the only mtd partition on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus is w25q80. I could use flash_image with it, but I'm not that brave. For all I know, I could be overwriting the system partition, or the userdata partition.
The bottom line:
It is not likely that flash_image is being used by ROM Manager on the Galaxy Nexus, as flash_image is only capable of writing to the w25q80 mtd partition, and I don't know what it is! Koush must be using some other way to flash the recovery from the phone.
I'd be interested to know if other Galaxy Nexus users have something different for /proc/mtd.
I'd contact Koush and ask him how he writes the recovery on the Galaxy Nexus, but he never responds to my tweets! ;-)
I hope this helps some users, even if it just prevents other users from going on a wild goose chase with flash_image.

@chriv I get the same as you when I list the partitions.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I found an alternative way to flash recovery images to my CDMA Galaxy Nexus without using flash_image (and without unlocking the bootloader/using fastboot). I found a post over on RootzWiki and the command is:
Code:
cat name-of-the-recovery.img > /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery
I did this and successfully reflashed the stock Google recovery image. I currently have a CM9 nightly running on the phone, the bootloader relocked and the stock recovery loaded (since leaving ClockworkMod Recovery installed would allow a thief to extract data via adb).
There are other things in the /by-name directory such as boot and radio so I'm guessing that it'd be possible to write those images as well (although I haven't tried it myself).
The only weird bug I've encountered is that ROM Manager still says that ClockworkMod Recovery is still installed for some reason (but it's not).

Reread the first post. It is not a flashable ROM, it's a backup of the stock ROM. So you'll need to unzip it then place it on your internal storage under CWM/backup (or somewhere similar, not using CWM myself so unsure of the exact folder names) then boot into recovery and select Restore and then restore the backup you downloaded.

[HOWTO]Recover From a Bad Flash - Now automated

Ok so you accidentally tried to Odin or CWM the wrong file to your phone. Well the good news is that if you can get into CWM with access to the sdcard(s) or access ADB we can fix it. If the phone won't power on at all, you can't access cwm with sdcard(s), ADB or Odin you are unfortunately out of luck. You will need to get it repaired by Sprint or send it off for a jtag repair.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
If you don't own the E4GT do not use this guide because if your partitions are not the same as ours you will brick your phone.
If by chance you can get into Odin mode and your computer can see the phone go buy a lottery ticket J/K. All you have to do is download a full tar and Odin it back on. I won't go into details for that as it is well documented. Or you can still use this zip if you prefer.
I have automated the process of the restore. What this zip will do is flash the Agat 0.5.4 source kernel so you have cwm. It will flash the FH13 boot.bin, hidden.img, param.lfs and Sbl.bin. It will wipe Cache and Dalvik also.
This will not flash the modem, wipe data or replace system. So after you use this zip if your modem is also hosed flash a modem zip from CWM. Once you have recovered the phone you can flash whatever you want back on the phone.
Download CWM Odin Restore To FH13: http://d-h.st/3yZ
Copy the zip file to your phone and flash in custom recovery.
If you don't have access to the sdcard(s) but do have access to ADB proceed to the second post.
If you need some direct assistance you can PM me and I will work with you when possible.

You only have ADB access
For this method you will need CWM, ADB, Root and the image files to restore.
If you don't have ADB installed I have attached it to this post. I have also provided a link to the FH13 image files.
If you don't have ADB, extract the ADB directory to the root of C:. So you should see C:\ADB
You need to know where your ADB directory is located. If you used step 1 ADB it is C:\ADB. If you installed it on your own you should know where to find it.
Extract the images.zip into the ADB directory. You should now have the Images folder in the ADB folder.
Boot into CWM and attach your phone to the computer.
Open a command prompt and change directory to the ADB directory cd C:\ADB (or wherever your directory is).
Type adb push Images /tmp and hit enter.
You should see something like 6 files pushed. 0 files skipped.8465 KB/s (19271020 bytes in 2.223s).
Type adb shell and hit enter.
This part is critical. Make sure it is typed exactly or you can/will destroy your phone.
Copy and paste or type the following commands. If you copy and paste make sure you don't copy any leading or trailing spaces. Hit enter after each command.
You can skip any of the following commands if you know you don't need them. For example, if you know you only installed the Sbl.bin then you only need to enter that command. I have provided them all to cover all of the needs. If you are not sure just do them all.
dd if=/tmp/boot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p0
dd if=/tmp/hidden.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
dd if=/tmp/param.lfs of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
dd if=/tmp/Sbl.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/tmp/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
dd if=/tmp/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
You should see something like 2560+0 records in, 2560+0 records out, 1310720 bytes (1.3MB) copied, 0.265521 seconds, 4.7MB/s after each command.
Reboot your phone and it should boot up.
If it still doesn't boot something didn't take and we will need to work one on one.
Download the Images.zip: http://d-h.st/8gY

The bootloader restore has been proven to work on one phone so far. Thanks to pjkingphd for testing and confirming that it works.

I have now automated the restore process in a zip file. You must be able to copy the zip file to the phone for it to work.

I have moved the manual commands to post two and revamped the instructions.

Yeah this will fix you up. Once you get recovered you can flash whatever you want back on. Since you are an advanced user if you have a particular setup that you want to restore, just pull those files from the tar and place them in the Images folder of the zip.

You never can be too sure.. Lol I just always expect the one time I make an assumption will be regretted.
Good idea btw... And thanks.

I would have gone ahead but I'm not sure why there are different versions. Totally confused on boot and recovery images, but I've been out of the ROM loop for a long time.

nothing.....no boot.....just restoring my xenon rom...

The zip is flashable, contains a boot.img and has scripts to install stuff. the others are .IMG files, and the main phablet one is the biggest file at over 400megs.
edit: the one that is almost 500megs is a flashable zip too, has updater script. since that is the only one of that size, i bet that is the main ubuntu, and the others are the drivers, boot images, ect, specific to different devices.

yeap...i am downloading the img file now but i am not sure if i want to enter fastboot to flash it...

No one knows yet. but you can try, but you risk bricking your phone. My galaxy nexus is dead now, charging the battery. Not going to experiment with my nexus 4, since it's my daily phone. by the time my gnex charges someone will figure it out or they'll be instructions posted on the ubuntu site.

I think we should fastboot flash all the img boot recovery system and then flash the zip. So start from the bottom of the page

I'm going to guess you might need their recovery to flash it. Otherwise why bother making one.

So nice I hope to use it soon~~

The files are still there, they just put up a blank index.html file so you can't see the directory I have all the files for nexus 4 and Gnex
Here's the links to Gnex

Brick it? Really?
As long as you dont flash a new bootloader, there's really no risk of bricking your phone, because, via your old bootloader you can always boot back into fastboot mode.
I'm not sure you know what the word "brick" means: Dead as a brick. Unrecoverable. Useless.
If it's recoverable, it's not a brick. Being in a state where you have to reflash some things in fastboot hardly constitutes a brick.
Sorry about the nitpick, but as a owner of much less open devices, where the risk of bricking $1k worth of equipment was a real risk when rooting/flashing, I find myself offended every time I see people whine about Nexus'es being "bricked".

Is the 500MB img for GNex, to your opinion?
