So I bricked my phone by installing TWRP. And wiped off the cache and whatever else and removed the OS from my phone. So needless to say I was out of luck.

Worst part was that I couldnt get adb sideload to work and I didnt have a microsd card handy.

So I decided to look into the device manager. And i noticed that there is a Samsung SPH-L300 that doesnt have a driver. I already had the samsung drivers installed so couldnt figure out why this wasnt working.

Eventually, i found the adb drivers for nexus and add the following two lines so that the phone could be read. And wallah adb sideload started working.

The two lines I added :
;S3 Virgin Media
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001&REV_0228
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001

Since I'm a new user I cant seem to attach links.
so replace spaces with dots.
