[Q] (!) Possible Brick ? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

Are you able to boot into Recovery?

Or restore the backup or use fastboot to flash Factory image (you seem to have a driver problem)

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.

How do I transfer a rom to my GNEX from CWM? [urgent]

I wiped the sd card like a retard... and now don't have a rom to flash.
What do?
I can't find how to mount the sd card.
You have to adb push the Rom to your phone. Hopefully you have the android sdk installed, a quick Google search will provide you with instructions on how to push the file

You can adb from recovery?
You can also use fastboot to recover yourself

It looks like you can use the GNex Toolkit to flash stock rom from fastboot mode (option 9).

Are you getting payed or something man?
Why are you suggesting a toolkit, which will then use fastboot, to reflash a whole rom, a stock rom at that, when he has access to a custom recovery, thus he can get himself out of this mess and learn a thing or two about adb (adb can do more than just a simple copy operation).

The zip is more universal, but if the apk from playstore works, that is the same functionality. The .zip can recover from lost root in some cases.

you need to flash the boot.img from your backup for the phone to boot properly. if you're s-off then it should have done it by itself but i'm going with that you're s-on so you need to flash the boot.img from your pc.
and fastboot erase cache ater the boot.img flash, to prevent boot issues
Thanks all for help it all works now

[Q] Tab 3 SM-T210 stuck in TWRP recovery

I flashed the StockKitkatRom_T210(R) rom and it lost its root, so I used Kingo Root to root it (which has worked for numerous phones for me previously) and when it rebooted the tablet I am now not able to get past Team Win Recovery Project no matter what I do! Does anybody know what to do?? Any help is deeply appreciated.

Do you have a backup??
I also had the same problem but it was when I went to recovery (TWRP) with app like Quick Boot or something. Backup done on TWRP or stock firmware flashed with Odin worked for me because everytime it was rebooting straight to recovery.
I had a backup but it disappeared and i have no idea how or where :/

Try a different rom and you dont need to use a root app if you have custom recovery you can self root

i am still stuck there and no i don't have a micro sim adapter help !!!!!!!
I'm having this problem right now on my t110, seems to be a problem with this device and fast/quick boot apps from the threads I have read. No matter what rom I flash it boots right back into recovery. I even switched from CWM to TWRP to see if that would have an effect and it did not.
Downloading md5 from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T110 and will flash with ODIN and update if that works or not. Download is 3 hours from finished though lol.
Ok I fixed it. The firmware I got from a link in the description of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auRktH49aSM
I flashed the bootloader, code and CSC from the file with ODIN3 and it started up just fine.
