That is your PC not recognizing your device, perhaps driver issues, cable issue, USB port issue...

Clockworkmod Recovery Touch

Hey XDA members.
Can anyone explain how I flash the Recovery using fastboot???
That is what is instructed to get it in.
Here is the link:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
It has all the recoveries made by koush.
Touch & Button version.
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img

Install fastboot/fastboot drivers, then.
Download the recovery file you want and put it in the fastboot folder.
1. turn phone off
2. press and hold both volume up and down button then press and hold power, this will take the phone to bootloader
3. type: fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilenamehere.img
4. press the volume up or down button to select RECOVERY MODE, press power to select, and there you go, you're in cwm.

You probably shouldn't be flashing recoveries if you don't know what you're doing. Learn by reading. The method for flashing recoveries hasn't changed since the Nexus One came out 2.5 years ago.

I did not make this, just passing it along. Link is to a flashable zip for 6.000alpha; it worked for me coming from previous version. Much easier then fastboot... Just move to root of your SD card and flash, no wipe necessary.

No os installed

Erased everything from twrp 2.20 now it doesnt get past the google logo it says i have no OS installed. Im rooted on 4.1.1 how can i install the OS???
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
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.

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.

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"

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

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....

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.

[Q] (!) Possible Brick ?

Hey guys , here is my problem...
Im passing my GSM Gnex to my brother , so I wiped everything ( *including format data using ) latest TWRP recovery.
Later , when I tried to reboot , it says no OS installed and my device doesnt appear to be rooted + no SuperSU installed.
So , I boot up to my bootloader with USB cable connected to my phone , no driver was installed or what-so-ever.
Can anyone help me ? Searched through the forum but cant find an answer which satisfy me.
Thanks in advance.
*Note : I have a Nandroid Gnex backup ( running 4.4.2 ROM ) on my computer.

Just use the Toolkit and flash the latest factory image. or you can use adb sideload option in TWRP and sideload the zip files of a rom or your backup.
