Load a factory image and start from scratch...
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi
You can acces into dowload mode?
Then dowload odin and flash a stock rom

Sorry if its noob sounding. I don't care about my data. Factory would be great but how do I exactly load the file onto my device? It can't mount on my computer and I don't know how to access the sd card other than mounting. Thanks again
When this happened to me I used Wug's toolkit to restore it to factory defaults. All the instructions are within the tool.

You might not need to do a factory reset.If you are in recovery...use adb to copy a ROM:
adb push {Filename} /sdcard
Wait for it to complete and then reboot back into recovery and flash the copied siles..Done it loads of times and it works

This is Nexus 7 thread, not bloody samsung.
Check wug's Nexus 7 root toolkit thread, you will easily Flash stock system image. Or do as manasgirdhar suggests.

Yup I'm back, thanks again guys.
So I accidentally formatted my /system when trying to format everything else for a fresh ROM install, and now my phone is totally empty.
When I attempt to plug in the phone to move over a rom to try and reflash, my computer reads the drive as a disk drive.
I'm super confused and don't know what to do help please?
Thanks
Edit: Forgot to add, I can put in to the bootloader & CWM
Hi
Greetings,
If can access the phone as disk drive then you can copy past the Rom in your virtual sdcard
Boot into recovery
And install the Rom.
If that is not possible use abd sideload to push the Rom and install

you can adb push a rom over to your phone and load from there.
adb sideload <romname>
i format the system every time i flash. its not a bad thing to do.
Someone please help. Its been 3 days already w/out my phone... I was unlocking it and went into philz 6 touch and accidently deleted everything. So now i have no os!!
Ive downloaded the 2.16.654 firmware and 3.30651.2 firmware and have tried loading on my ext 128gb sd. When i go to mount the info and load the firmware, it says unable to mount data....
Pleeeeeease help!!
I haven't used Philz recovery in awhile so I can't quite recall how the storage mount options are setup. You'll need to download a ROM to your computer, then boot your phone into recovery. Connect your phone and computer via USB cable, then use the mount option to mount either your internal or external storage. Once you've mounted storage you can transfer the ROM from your computer to your phone. Once finished, unmount storage and then flash your ROM.
Also, firmware isn't flashed through recovery, it's flashed through the bootloader. It won't help you get your phone up & running at the point you're at, either (not to mention the fact that one version is for the HK version & the other isn't). Might want to do some more reading before you turn your phone into an overpriced paperweight.
Or use adb sideload function.

Sideload does not always work...I prefer adb push

Adb push is way more convienent especially since you would need a computer for sideload anyways...

Hi,
if you feel like repartitioning your device or just try something new. Now you can...
I had a look at the partitions of our device and thought of merging the userdata and sdcard0 partitions to gain more space and using the newer storage layout with data/media. After searching I found some infos, changed a script and voila it worked and now I have one partition for data and media.
Preparation:
Caution playing with the partition table is very risky and can damage your device permanently or to say it can brick!!!
Make every backup you can thing of!
So maybe go into QHSUSB__BULK mode by using attached Send_Command.exe like stated below, where comport is your actual port like COM9.
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\comport
# ENTER
More infos here.
Get a copy of HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool or similar like EMMCRAW. Make a hard copy of your device memory.
Make definitively a TWRP backup.
Now use this zip and flash it via TWRP, note that you should put the zip on a external sd card or use adb sideload.
Next you should got into wipe and select format data, type yes and acknowledge it.
Now you should have more than 11GB as data storage, see pics in the attachment.
When you do the switch you should also switch TWRP to one which do not support sdcard0, cause this partition is gone
Please note: This mod will like not work properly if your using stock rom from zte!
I also made a zip for spliting and recreating the sdcard0 and userdata partitions, after using it, you should also format data like described above. And format your new sdcard0 partition properly as fat. This zip works also, I tested it. Maybe one can improve the script, saving extra formating the partitions.
This zip should provide infos about the partitions of your device...
Credits:
petrov.0 and his thread, which has all infos and the original zip files, which I modified
awesome, thanks a lot for sharing!
makes this device useable much better!

do not know, no device to test with. try the zip, which should show some infos about the partition layout, actually it didn't worked out on my device, like it should...
If it do not work for you: it should copied sgdisk on your device to /tmp/sgdisk. Still in recovery use in the terminal or via adb shell the following commands:
Code:
/tmp/sgdisk -p /dev/block/mmcblk0
/tmp/sgdisk --info=30 /dev/block/mmcblk0
/tmp/sgdisk --info=31 /dev/block/mmcblk0
copy your recovery log to sd and post it here.
ok i do it, now i have 11.41gb storage but i cant save nothing on it, why.... no external storage avaible

Help guys!! After install CM12.1 I've flashed this mod on my EU device but it doesn't work. I've made a full wipe and now I have a nice bricked phone without an OS installed. The phone can't mount E: internal storage and I can't install an other ROM.
Is there any way to make the phone useful again? Thanks!!
Did you flashed recovery for external SD card first? @mir2006

Have you read the whole op?
Which back up do you have?
Why were you doing the full wipe of all? Just need to format data partition,which will erase all settings you have done in cm and also files you habe saved there.
Use an external sd card to install the rom again.
Visit the linked modaco thread,there grab the recovery template zip and also the TWRP for emulated internal storage and place it inside the zip file,like described there.Flash it and reboot.
BTW the mod was not tested on EU Variante devices or none reported back here.cause I gave instructions to get the partition infos for these devices.

it's not the case that my phone is bricked, it's fully functional but i wanted to grab a full raw backup before doing the partition mod
when it's powered on and connected to my pc with debugging enabled i get no COM-Port in device Manager.
when it's powered down and i connect it while pressing Vol-UP+Vol-Down i get a COM-Port and i install the QSHUSB_BULK driver i see a COM-Port but no drives show up in device Manager...
what step am i missing?
which methods are there to set the phone in download mode?
thank you!

Try the methode described in the OP.

8 available storage is what you see in the settings....
Your 32GB storage is not all for your own data. Install terminal application then executes df -h to see how it's partitioned. My 64GB has 54GB left for user data, the rest belongs to the system (spans over several other partitions which somewhat familiar to Linux users).
