I think I did it

I think i bricked my Nexus...

Bootloader was unlocked, rooted, I finally started dabbling in ROMS. I downloaded TWRP that took over my CWMR. Unfortunately, i had only saved my original backup in CWMR.

I tried downloading and installing a ROM and GAPPS within TWRP. It didn't work. Nothing is coming up and I have no idea how to get my phone back to stock or anything. I started freaking out and clearing stuff and trying to get it factory reset and have made things worse.

Basically, if I can somehow get back to ClockWord Mod I think I can get my backup. But It's going to have to be done internally in TWRP's recovery or via the computer.

Are there any options?????
 
I'm pretty new to the Nexus and rooting in general, hence the situation I'm in now. So I appreciate the advice, I've been trying to google what I can do, looking for links, downloads, etc...

Do you have any further information (link) that might walk me through step-by-step in the simplest manner possible?

You have 2 options to get your device operational. Use the fastboot command to flash cwm back onto the device, or download the room and gapps on a computer and use adb to push them directly to the phone for flashing.


Also, I do have the One-click tool program downloaded on my computer, how do I get the phone into a mode that will accept whatever it is that's coming over from my computeR?

No problem, my question is which do you prefer, restoring the backup or flashing a new rom?


I really want Clockwork Mod back... Although, because I started clearing everything out and trying to reset back to factory via TWRP recover mode I'm a little nervous that my backup is no longer in ClockworkMod. So flashing a new ROM, if it's possible within TWRP, might be my only option...

I shouldn't have messed around with GOO/TWRP until I was more comfortable with it. All I kept reading was how it was noob proof and everything so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Personally I prefer twrp because it offers a couple more features than cwm, but both will get the job done. Here is a guide written by a moderator here on using adb to push files. Doing this will allow you flash the new rom. If you have any questions with the process, I'd be happy to help.
