I bought a Nexus 5 from someone and everything was working fine. I brought it home to flash another ROM and when I downloaded the zip file and booted into recovery, Team Win 2.6.3.1, I erased everything like I normally would but didn't realize this recovery wiped everything, the ROM on the root of the drive and the OS. So now I have a phone with no OS. I tried downloading the ROM to my laptop and mounting the phone over USB but it's not working. Any suggestions guys?
Lost OS and phone won't boot

Push it using ADB? Do you have the command I would type for this?
Where can I find the Nexus drivers? I wonder if that's why it won't mount through recovery?

I downloaded all the drivers and I still cannot mount the phone. How do I push the rom to the phone through adb? Where can I find that command?
If you used the tool you should have adb on your pc. Find which folder adb.exe is. Download any rom zip file and put it in that folder. Open a command window in that folder, shift right click on it and a pop up window will open where you can open the command window.
In the command window use adb push your rom.zip /sdcard/download. That should put the rom onto your device. You can then flash it in your recovery

Boot into recovery and type adb devices in a command window with your usb connected. What do you get?

Good, adb is working. Try pushing the rom again

If that doesn't work then boot into twrp and go to advanced, adb sideload. Then from a cmd window type adb sideload your rom.zip

I appreciate your help but nothing works! This is so frustrating.
ADB sideload is enabled on the phone and it's waiting. I typed in the command to push the file and nothing...

I also have an HTC One M7 that will not adb push roms to. This phone works fine though. It's the Nexus I can't get a ROM onto the sdcard.
See if you can use fastboot and flash the factory image. You might start with just flashing the cache.img to see if that'll work

Where can I get the factory image? Also, what are the commands for fastboot?
I really appreciate your help with this I just want to get the phone working.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. Unzip it, inside there is a flash-all.bat. just run that

Thanks buddy. I was able to flash the stock image from Google. I'm surprised none of the ADB push commands or sideload would work. Now I'm unrooted but that's fixable.
