I did a factory reset on my galaxy nexus. I also by mistake erased my internal SD card. So now my phone only boots as far as the google screen because there is not ROM to boot into and when you connect to a computer it doesn't recognize the phone. How do I get a rom on my phone so it works again.
Thanks

Can you boot into fastboot? (Hold the power button and both volume buttons). I would boot into fastboot and reflash the Stock images. Also want to specify which variant you have.. GSM or CDMA if CDMA, verizon or Sprint?
Factory reset from stock or a custom recovery will not wipe the system partition. If you formatted the system partition from a custom recovery you can boot back into the custom recovery and adb push a ROM to your sdcard
Install the drivers on the computer. Then put the phone in fastboot mode like uber mentioned. Then push the rom to the phone and flash it in recovery. If you didnt install a recovery either, youll need one of those too.
Yeah hard to tell by her post if her bootloader is unlocked or not. I didnt think it was possible to wipe system without unlocking the boot loader and flashing a new recovery. Which means she needs knowledge of fastboot to even set that up.
The more i read the OP the more it sounds like unless she bought a used rooted phone off ebay. This thing is stock and just needs to boot to stock recovery and perform a factory reset from there. And that her system is fine.
With then phone off, hold down both volume buttons. Then hold down the power button, once it boots , use the volume keys to cycle and the power button to select. Navigate to recovery and perform a factory reset.

Doesn't matter if its GSM or rooted. Fastboot is independent.
I can boot into fastboot and clockworkmod recovery, but the SD storage is blank. The computer won't recognize the phone. I can't seem to fix it and it's driving me crazy not having a phone. Please help!!

Plug in your phone via USB, in Fastboot mode.
Does it show in the device manager? It might not be called 'Galaxy Nexus', might be called something Fastboot related. It might be in the USB section.
XP:To open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
7: Hit windows key, type in "Device Manager"
If there's a yellow triangle next to the device, the drivers on your PC may be not working correctly.
If it is working correctly, the easiest option is to load the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, and flash stock ROM.
You installed the drivers as mentioned I take it?

[HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Convert to latest yakju/takju/mysid (incl JB) / Return to stock
Take a look at step A. Install the drivers. Note you should also be able to set up the adb drivers while your phone is booted into a custom recovery.
follow the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Install the drivers, then flash the stock image in fastboot, nothing to it.
Whoa there are females on this forum!!!!????? <Sound of a hundred myths shattering>
But anyway, why dont u just flash fastboot stock images?

Well its bound to when there's 40k males n 40 females(i m taking 1-2 per current device)
THIS. IS. NEXUS.
Ash just install the drivers for the galaxy nexus, download a rom like aokp (the "maguro" version is the gsm version. Dont flash "toro" versions those are for cdma ) and then push it to the sd card using fastboot. All those steps are listed in a lot of posts in great detail by the author mskip and are stickied in the dev section here. Just read his posts for questions or drivers . Its all pretty straight forward once you read the right posts. Id avoid using any toolkits though, its all fairly simple stuff. And dont worry about the geeks here being surprised about seeing females. Some of them have never left the basement before. ( no offence guys , i got no problem with the homosexuals )

I'm new to Xda and rooting my phone. I recently attempted to root to Android Jellybean 4.2 ROM for the Galaxy Nexus and through the process, I accidentaly deleted the Android Operating System. Not only that...I my computer is no longer able to detect ADB. I am hoping that someone will be able to help me reroot the stock image operating system and help my computer dectect ADB.

I'm sorry. I'm a bit confused right now. I have the universal driver insttalled - what's the fastboot driver? And it seems that my phone does not like to stay in fastboot. I really appreciate your help.
the universal driver contains the fastboot one.

you didnt even bother to read the link i posted....
that has all your answers. go read it.
Using the Nexus tool kit all you need to do is make sure you have a good copy of the stock Verizon os downloaded from the Google site (JRO3C0) or whatever it is. Then connect your phone with it powered down. Select the option saying the phone will not start (bricked) and select unroot with factory image and follow the prompts. This will unroot your phone and flash the stock Verizon os. After that I would re-lock the boot loader, disconnect your phone and pull the battery with it still on. After you power it back up you can enable debugging and unlock and root again. Sorry if I called the steps the wrong name as I do not have my computer with me and cannot look directly at the wugfresh tool. Hope this helps out.

I have installed and reinstalled the usb drivers like 4 times with reboots in between. I was about to root, but after root i cant do anything. The main thing i want to do is flash a custom rom. I have the gnex tool kit, it says waiting for device (option 6), and the most recent drivers are from that toolkit. I tried command pront, Fastboot reboot-bootloader, it says waiting for device. I tried adb flash recovery recovery.img it says waiting for device. I tried 2 different cables and all my usb ports on my computer.
Im at a loss. I can still transfer files from my computer to my device. My computer detects it just none of these commands... god i wish i had an sd card slot... lol
Edit:
I also tried putting it inot fastboot mode by pressing the power and wolume up / down keys. It goes to the screen and says start. All commands still say waiting for device.
I feel like this is a driver issue but idk why.... i have tried all drivers...........

Unplug your phone from computer install the drivers from Samsung's website. (Google USB drivers for galaxy nexus i515) reboot computer and try again. Maybe u should install android SDK with adb and do it manually instead of using a toolkit. Those cause problems.

Are you confusing adb with fastboot, or was "adb flash recovery recovery.img" a typo? Anyway, forget the toolkit. Get adb/fastboot binaries from the 101 & FAQ, and try:
1) booted into Android: adb devices
This should list your device with a number. If the list is empty, adb cannot interface with your gnex.
2) booted into the bootloader: fastboot devices
This should also list your device with a number. If the list is empty, fastboot cannot interface with your gnex.
Note that the adb and the fastboot interface are different. If you installed drivers and got adb running, this does not automatically make fastboot working. Boot into fastboot, connect and use device manager to scout for unknown devices. Update using naked driver if necessary.

you are lazy. you're relying on a toolkit.
please root your phone the manual way, or at least try fastboot alone so we actually know what the problem is.
Thanks yeah that was a typo. I have the adroid bianarys. Adb and fastboot. I was typing. Fastboot reboot bootloader to try and get gnex tools to see the device. No luck.

I rooted manually no problems. Problems arose post root. This can be marked as solved for buying the app fixed my issue. With recovery i can flash roms on the device. No need for a computer anymore. Thanks to those who didnt attack me and make me cry. To those who did well... thanks anyways....

Again, driver issue. 'fastboot devices' should return your devices serial number. that command is the tell-tell sign that communication between fastboot host (PC/Mac) and client (device) see and recognise each other.
And please try to be flawless on the transcription of the exact commands used, to exclude the possibility of typos.

Tried re-locking a few times using wugfresh, would get to end of process and nothing happened.
I need to re-lock the device and flash the factory rom asap. Not sure if I have adp or fastboot since I used the tool.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm on windows 7 if that matters at all.

Hello, my name is Jon. I've got a serious problem with my Nexus 7..
So.... I've had my Nexus 7 for about a month and a half and I decided to root it.
Everything was going good. I got it unlocked, loaded a new recovery mode ( Clockwork 6.0.0.6.), and put super user on it.
I loaded up Clockwork and was looking around in it and I accidentally wiped ALL OF THE DATA OFF... That included the operating system..
Now.... When I try to boot up it stays at the GOOGLE SPLASH SCREEN and won't move past that, unless I go to Fastboot or Recovery Mode..
I can't load data on to it due to there not being an sd card slot and my computer won't recognize it enough to allow me to put data on to it.
It recognizes it as "ANDROID ADB INTERFACE" and says it's working properly.
IT WON'T LET ME FORMAT IT OR FACTORY RESET IT DUE TO IT NOT BEING ABLE TO MOUNT THE SD CARD...
I've tried about everything I can think of...
PLEASE HELP!!!! I've had this tablet for for a month and a half and I am definitely not about to let it die.
It's ANROID 4.3 (JWR66Y) Wifi tablet- Running Clockwork 6.0.0.6 recovery

Simplest way I know to fix this is download any rom you wish to install with gapps to your computer (not sure if stock requires you to flash them too since I never ran stock on my nexus devices ). Next download and install the android adk to get adb running. If you are on Windows, located the platform-tools folder in the sdk and press shift and right click on it and select open command window hear. Type .\adb devices to be sure you can recognize your device and then use .\adb push command to transfer your files from the computer to your tablet while in recovery mode

You'll need to download the appropriate rom for your device, and use ADB/Fastboot to push to your nexus.
One thing I always do is before I touch anything in TWRP (same idea as CWM) is to make a complete backup of my device before I do any wiping. Granted, if you wiped internal storage as well, this wouldn't help but it would help if you just did a factory reset without wiping internal storage completely.
See if you can do these steps.
