you formatted the system partition.
i assume you formatted your SD card. so you have 2 choices
1) you download whatever custom rom you want on your pc and use: adb push locationofrom /data/media/
2) you use fastboot to restore to stock.

How can i use fastboot to restore to stock?

adding to that, adb only works in recovery. from fastboot, restart recovery, push a rom, flash it. no need to reflash stock images in this situation, imo.

There is the nexus toolkit that has all you need. Its stickied in the sprint section. You can flash a ROM through there.

adb is not the problem, your pc/windows is. adb is available IN recovery, not in bootloader, stop making that confusion jeez

Glad you fixed it. As you see, we all use different methods in the same situation, glad one of them worked for you.

With android u don't have to worry about anything if it's software based problem. Every problem can be solved here. We've got the best devs here that make everything is just possible. That's what iphone users can't have. They have to wait for apple for every fixes while we don't.

Nice! This helped me out big time. Couldn't get my laptop to recognize my phone. Odin did it though. Thanks.

Need Help

So here is a great F*ck on my part.. i formatted system, data, and cache without having a rom ready to install saved on my phone..... How do i push a rom to cwm so i can install it?

Use the gnex toolkit to flash the stock ROM. Its in the first sticky.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Or if you can set up adb for your phone. Just download a rom and push it to your sdcard

What he said.That is a simple skill everyone that flashes roms should have. Avoid tool kits if possible

You can also mount your pc to storage from cwm and just copy a Rom zip to your storage.

just a note, if you're talking about mounting /sdcard/ in cwm to see the "sdcard" on OS file explorer: afaik, that won't work. only adb will work.
if 'adb push file /sdcard/' doesn't work in recovery, use 'adb push file /data/media'
like people said before, can't get any simpler than this.

Stuck with "No OS"

I have no OS right now because I did a "Format Data" in TWRP which wiped my internal storage, including the zip file. I'm doing this for a friend and not super familiar with the Nexus. Since there's no SD card, how can I get a zip file back onto the device to flash?
Current status:
TWRP
ADB drivers installed
Galaxy Nexus Toolkit can't do anything because it's getting that "USB Debugging is not enabled"
Currently trying this:

Use fastboot and flash the stock nexus images provided by Google.

Sdcard is formatted, I believe you need to boot up at least once to push files into it.
Fastboot stock ROM.

Of course you can use adb in recovery, what I'm trying to get across is that you may have to boot into android at least once to 'format' the sdcard, without a formatted sdcard, pushing a gazillion times won't work....

Back on topic... OP, can you boot into bootloader? Why not follow this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 Its saved me on more than one occasion.

I use a tool kit called wugfresh nexus root toolkit it has everything you need this same thing has happened to me before.

Thanks for perpetuating ignorance.

like few others mentioned, connect your devices to PC push a rom and flash it, as far as i understand when you format the data, it formats the DATA, which means /data is formated so you can push a rom using ADB.
EDIT: PS: I might be wrong, but i'm no expert either so.

Water damage, bootloop.

Hi XDA,
my brother got his GNex wet and gave it to me. I took it apart entirely and let it dry overnight, I assembled it back together today but I can't get into the OS.
Bootloader, Fastboot, Download-Mode, recovery and ADB sideload all work fine but if I want to boot into the OS it just keeps rebooting at the Google-logo with the little lock at the bottom.
What I've tried so far:
Reflash the stock ROM via the Nexus Root Toolkit
Repartition and reflash stock ROM via Odin
Flash CyanogenMod in CWM
I've tried all of the above multiple times, I can't get it to boot.
Could it be that the internal memory is defective? If so, is there any tool that I could use to test it? Can I partiton "around" the defective parts?
Thanks for your time and help.

That's essentially exactly the same, all the toolkit does is execute the commands automatically

Okay I just did that according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/how-to-return-to-stock-galaxy-nexus-t1626895 but it still doesn't boot properly. Any ideas?

Err thats recovery. Not fastboot. But maybe your internal memory has died.. But I sont know sure yet.

I can get to fastboot and download-mode as well, that's how I flashed the ROM and the stock recovery

Galaxy nexus root

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to figure out how to root my 32g sprint galaxy nexus SPH-L700. Just looking for a guide I can't find one anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Flash custom recovery via fasrboot and then flash latest supersu via recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

A little more direction than that please? Maybe a link to a walkthrough? Last time I had to flash a custom recovery it wouldn't root properly. I would rather have a walkthrough than brickb my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

The galaxy nexus is very hard to brick..
1. Download a custom recovery from the clockworkmod site.
2. Boot into fastboot and type: fastboot flash recovery the-name-of-the-recovery-you-just-downloaded.img (for this to work you need to paste the downloaded recovery.img into the fastboot folder)
3. Boot into recovery and select "install zip from sd card" (assuming you already downloaded the lastest supersu.zip)
4. Flash the latest supersu and wipe both cache and dalvik cache.
5. Reboot and enjoy.

download recovery http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/toro
open command prompt
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery {name-of-recovery.img}
then download SU from here

and flash that in your new recovery.
