So I've been messing around with android phones for a while now and I'm stuck. I was on the oxygen 2.1.6 Rom then decided to make a back up. However instead of going into CWR it just went into fast boot. When I go into recovery it just says fast boot mode no reboot or recovery img. I tried to odin back to stock like I usually do but adb wont recognize my device like it usually does. Please don't tell me I'm bricked and that I messed up bad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I tried reinstalling drivers etc etc. Somebody help me lol

It sounds like you flashed a bad recovery. Download a new recovery , boot into fastboot, and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryfile.img
adb wont recognize my device so how do I flash a new recovery

Adb only works when the phone is booted normally, provided usb debugging is on.
Use fastboot. If you want to make sure it's working, boot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot devices
If it's working, you will see your serial number.
If the other options can't help you get your problem solved try Odin.
www.samfirmware.com
get the right files for your device and Odin program itself. There are tutorials on here how to use it.
sorry I was being an idiot. I tried fastboot and it showed nothing connected. When I flashed a recovery it just hung waiting for device. I have all the drivers loaded on the computer but my device is still unknown and wont be recognized. I have all the odin files and I have used odin before. This sucks
btw appreciate the help guys

Try installing pdanet, that will install all the drivers you need for fastboot and Odin.

my one click works on both versions, as all it does it just gets you root. if you want cwm then use rom manager afterwards.
but for his problem no it relies on adb and fastboot

Maybe not, but it does include some handy files. ;-)
Download and unzip Shabby's OneClickRoot
Install pdanet. (See the readme for which one.)
Reboot your computer.
Then try using his version of fastboot.
I'm assuming you are in fastboot mode (it will say so) and that you're using the usb cable that came with the phone.
I will give it a go now I do have PDA installed too

I have CWM 6.0.1.0 on my nexus 7. I was rooted but running the stock ROM. I wanted to flash CM10. I booted into recovery, wiped cache, dalvik, and factory reset. I then flashed the .zip file. When I rebooted the device it never got out of the CM boot screen. That circle just kept spinning. I tried the toolkit but the drivers aren't really working on my computer (crappy old XP laptop). I have formatted the system and SD card out of desperation which was honestly a stupid thing to do. So, where I am at now. I have no way to boot into android. Everything is wiped and formatted. Toolkit, adb, nor fastboot will work. I thought fastboot would save me but I can't get it work. Not even on my wife's mac. So what are my options? Please let me know if there is something important I am leaving out.
It can take a while to get a new rom up and running. How much time did you give CM to install before you interrupted it?

I let it go for at least 30 minutes. I finally got adb to push a ROM to the device. Problem solved. Thanks though.

maybe it was a bad download?
It can stand a spell to get a new rom up and jetting. How some instant did you utilize CM to install before you broken it?

Thats possible. I tried re-flashing it numerous times but they all got stuck in boot. I am now up and running with SmoothROM. I might have to re-download CM10 sometime and try again.
Hey guys I now has a similar problem. I flashed a bad copy of my Rom and when it failed to boot I too wiped everything in desperation. I know I'm an idiot! Now I need to push both a Rom an kernal to my root directory but I'm not clear on how to install my kernal. Once I push my Rom I can use my recovery to install the Rom. But how do I install the kernel? I'm using cleanrom which comes zipped with the kernal. I can't fastboot flash it because I cannot turn on USB debugging. Gary

To use fastboot you don't need to have switched on USB debugging, it's sufficient to go to bootloader mode and connect your PC to it.
(If you have already installed the correct drivers on your PC.)

I have no idea what i did, but my Nexus 7 formatted every file on there, there's not even a rom it can boot into....I can boot into recovery, but I have no idea how I can bring a file and load a rom on Nexus 7 because I can only get to three things..bootloader, recovery and google (unlocked) that's stuck there because of no rom.
using nexus 7 toolkit...but i'm probably doing something wrong...getting device not found.
can someone give me a noob guide on what i can try to fix this

Did you try installing the driver package that comes with Wugs?
Its sounds like it isnt finding the drivers to me.Are you using a custom recovery or the stock?
Try using Odin and see if it recognizes it.

i thought odin is for samsung devices...where do i download one that works with N7?
I'm trying to install drivers, but it's not doing anything but opening up pictures with how to install in Wugs.
using wugs, it does pick up as grooper under device manager, but doesn't show on the MY COMPUTER section
not sure what you mean by recover or stock, but i can get into Clockword Mod Recover 6.0.1.0...does that help?
**tried odin 3.7 but it isn't doing anything
LOL sorry I got a few devices and 2 out of 3 are samsung.
Maybe try to install the drivers in the toolkit here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195 ,if you can get a image on there you should be able to flash it with Clockwork if you select install from zip.
I dont suppose you made a backup with Clockwork?
If you can get adb working you can easily flash it back to stock by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
how do i do this when i can't boot into android
Driver Installation
This seems to be the most confusing part for many people. Be patient and thoroughly read all the instructions.
Enable usb debugging on your device (found under Settings > Developer Options)
NOTE: Since Android 4.2 the Developer Options are hidden by default.
To enable them, go to Settings > About Phone, and tap on build number around seven times. A small dialog will appear letting you know "You are now a developer!"
Install the abd driver - detailed instructions for installing or upgrading and existing driver on your version of Windows can be found at http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
Once the driver is installed open a command prompt and change directories to <your sdk directory>\platform-tools (see #2). From the command prompt run "adb devices". This will list any adb-capable devices that are connected to the computer by their serial number assuming your drivers are installed correctly. Recap:
Code:
can't figure it out....
"devices not found"

Did you install the drivers from the nexus toolkit?
And maybe try a reboot of your pc,and try unplugging usb and replugging while in fast boot.
Also check in CWM and see if a backup has every been made even if its old, its better than where you are now.
there's no backup of anything on the nexus...everything got wiped somehow. nexus 7 toolkit keep tellingthe resource loader cache doesn't have loader mUI entry" whichs tells me it's ok..
adb: unable to connect backup
unplug / reboot / different ports...basic pc stuff already done
Maybe try using a different cable,Other than that maybe try a different pc and see if it loads a default driver to at least give you access to put a zip file on it to flash,could be your driver is corrupt on that pc never heard of it installing a nexus as grooper.
Besides that I'm at a loss.
Best of luck,hopefully you get it figured out.
so...i've tried the following already just to make it clear...
i already tried all the basic pc things
-switch usb ports
-reboot pc
-use usb2
-use usb3 ports
-use a different computer (one 8, one XP)....both...i don't really know what to do cause instructions seems to be mostly in 7 and/or just not working on 8
-rebooted asus n7
if someone can give me step by step, noob guide...instead of saying try thing / that, it may help me.

I had exactly the same problem. I was able to restore mine to stock 4.2 without ever having the Nexus 7 show up under my computer. My understanding is that it isn't supposed to show up there unless it is booted into android, but I could be wrong. Anyways, just try downloading the stock N7 firmware and installing with the Unroot and restore stock option in the Wugfresh Toolkit, and if you want root and custom recovery back, simply use the option to reroot and follow the instructions. That's what I did and it worked like a charm.

Please reinstall drivers using @WugFresh 's Toolkit
And down to default font size please. It does nothing more to oversize this...
Also, you might wanna try out all your USB ports. For me fastboot/adb only works on some ports. Also while trying out the ports keep the device manager window open. This way you can easily see when and more importantly how the computer sees your phone.

Hey, so today I wanted to install a new ROM on my SM-N900 Note 3. I flashed TWRP, and rebooted. Then I booted into TWRP and opened Android File transfer on my Mac. It kept saying please connect USB device. Other parts of the system do not read the device, however TWRP says the device is charging from my Mac's USB port. I moved to my Windows computer and connected the device. Still nothing. I tried multiple USB cables both 2.0 and 3.0. Nothing works! Can someone help me? I have no OS installed! I don't want to use ODIN or download mode because I would prefer to the install the ROM I'm trying to install because it seems silly that I have recovery access but can't access the file transfer.
Thanks, Justin
No SD Card?

I've used ODIN before but I had thought was incompatible with zips. I'll try it today though. And no, I don't have an SD card. I'm trying to move the files into my internal storage.

MTP doesn't work with TWRP. You'll have to use adb and push the zip to your internal storage. Then flash it through TWRP.
There are many guides on how to do this, it is very simple. Good luck
Edit- i see you're using a mac, not sure if adb works on there.. never tried myself.. always installed linux on any apple product i've owned
I haven't researched it so it might work straight away, but if not just create a vm with xp, ubuntu or something and use adb through there
