While in the process of installing a new rom... I updated to a new recovery (TWRP) I accidentally wiped my internal data. This was after I had already wiped everything else (cache, factory reset etc).

now....

I dont have anything to install. My phone seems like its just a... recovery.

My computer will not recognize it anymore. I plus it in to usb and get the usual 'sound' .. but nothing shows up.
So I cant copy over a new rom to install.

help??

If you've been able to do all that, theoretically your computer should recognize it while in the bootloader (not recovery) because it has before, and you could flash the factory images from there.

Were you on stock or a ROM? If in stock you should just be able to reboot. If not sounds like you will need to SBF/fastboot restore (whichever it is called for the D1.)

yes, sorry. its a galaxy nexus.

Even on bootloader, on win7.. it tries to install files for "Android 1.0" but fails..

on win xp.. it seems that Android 1.0 installs, but I still cant find where I can access my phone.

If you have had adb/fastboot working in the past you just need to associate the driver with the device. You should be able to set this via Device manager.

finally, somehow, my computer recognizes my device as a "Samsung Android phone" "Android ADB Interface"

so how can I copy over a file(rom) to this??

Its not listed in 'My Computer' and in the Devices and Printers its listed as a VMware USB Device.. but cant copy anything to it

Via adb... Type

Adb push "location with the name of the file" "where you want the file to go "

So... Something like...

Adb push c:\users\name\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip

Ya... You'll have to use command prompt... Once you get adb to recognize it

Because the adb driver probably isn't installed properly...

Easiest way to get it setup would be using something like wugfresh's toolkit
