That is a link to the stock recovery from ITL33d.
I have confirmed it can be flashed in fastboot to get back stock recovery after a failed attempt to load CWM.

What about ITL41D which is the more common retail version? Presumably it would need to be this for warranty purposes?
By the way, there is a post in the GN Developer section about "Insecure Boot.img" - which is a modified ITL41D boot image. According to that thread, modifying one value in that file will make it back to stock again but I cant figure out how to mount it and edit it as Im not a linux guru.
Would any of these help?

Take it will wipe the phone
Just tried Peter Alfonso's but it says theres no android-info.txt in the zip when there is :/
If its just the recovery.img you are after, extract from the zip then do fastboot boot recovery.img to test booting into it. If you are happy it works, you can do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

These commands wrt recovery.img do not wipe the phone but doing the whole system thing will. Please note someone elsewhere said they got into a bad state using peter alfonsos system.img so beware.

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.

+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

use adb to transfer a rom to your sdcard and flash in cwm..
You can also adb sideload a rom or use fastboot to go to stock.

He has to go through fastboot to get to recovery.
Also, is the huge ass signature image on every post really necessary?

In general section, there's wugfresh tool (Nexus ToolKit).
Download it and you just check, nexus is bricked+revert back to stock, click on it!
Let it do the magic! Done!
Thank @WugFresh and maybe support him by donating something for his awesome tools!

It's been a while since I installed a complete factory image but I'm pretty sure the no signature is normal and the install should start back up. Give it a few seconds it will continue! ; )

Yes, you can.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
FWIW, one can also boot (as opposed to flash) twrp if one wanted to keep stock recovery.
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
But yeah, if all you need to do is restore /system, just pull it out of the devices factory images and use fastboot to flash system.img.
