I was messing around with my nandroid backups and loaded my stock rom. While everything was updating in GAPPS I must have been to hastly and told it to upgrade.
Im using Philz Touch 6.25.0 and currently it only boots into recovery, i failed to install the aroma file manager before all of this started so I dont have a terminal to use. ADB doesnt seem to work on my work computers without a bunch of work.. ive been messing with this for the past 4 hours now and decided it was time to ask for help lol.

Alright, well I manged to get adb working and attempted to sideload TWRP just because it has a terminal. During the install i get a status 7 error because loki failed. Did the OTA update destroy loki>?

If you dont have ADB working try to download Koush's Universal ADB drivers

Second once your sure ADB is working download Aroma File Manager by amarullz for Philz recovery

You may have to rename it something smaller for your convenience and sideload it via ADB and the recovery. Aroma manager should pop up and you'll have the option to use a terminal.

I just found a link to the rest of the steps that could have more helpful things than I can offer now.
