Need help! Nexus 7 no os installed and then some

**djwongers** · 01-29-2013, 12:11 AM

Hi guys,noob problem here.

Problem:
my nexus died while i was watching a youtube video but my battery is still 30+% when i plugged my charger turned it on,it only got to the lock screen and and then it died again. but this time it has the static on the screen so i panicked. i went to the twrp recovery and wiped the cache,dalvik and accidentally wiped the system. now i have it's showing "no os installed,do you still want to reboot?". at this point,i dont know what to do. i read forums and guides to restore the factory image. i downloaded them and tried flashing it from my nexus toolkit 1.6.2 and it's taking a very long time to "waiting for your device to finish booting back up" and i tried it on the coomand prompt too but failed "too many links" message showed up. everytime i go to the bootloader and flash the stock image it always "hangs",the volume up and down wont work,its always on the "start".

oh and when i went to the command prompt to check for adb devices,my device doesnt show up.

i really need help,are there any step by step guide for dummies?
i'm sorry if the question is a little unorganized,i'm panicking,did i miss anything? please help

thank you!

There are a lot of good guys here, but I think you may want to cut n paste this post over at XDA. That's where most of the nuts n bolts software guys are...

Do you have the stock rom available by chance?

Have you tried to mount USB storage through twrp? And transfer a rom to install? If you do this, make sure you reboot back into recovery before you install the rom (hard people have issues trying to install without the reboot)

i forgot to mention that after i tried flashing the the stock image i always get the android with the red exclamation point. is there any way that i can flash the twrp recovery?
