[Guide][Mac OS] How to save Nexus 5 - Soft Brick topic

I ran into this today after wiping my "internal storage" in TWRP (oops). :p

This guide assumes you have bricked the Nexus 5 with an unlocked bootloader and root'd device

**Download before starting**
- Latest TWRP: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
- Latest Hammerhead stock images: https://developers.google.com/androi...ges#hammerhead
- One Click TWRP Recovery Toolkit: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/11/...t-for-mac.html

**Recover Stock OS**
- Extract the Hammerhead stock images .tgz archive contents on your mac
- Ensure you have copies of "fastboot" and "adb" and place them in the same folder (optional but easier)
- Edit "flash-all.sh" script with complete path to "fastboot", or simply "./fastboot". An example:
/Users/james/Downloads/hammerhead-lrx22c/fastboot

- Boot the device in Fastboot Mode (volume up + down and power)
- Use the USB Cable to connect the Nexus 5 to your PC.
- Open "Terminal" > change directory to correct folder > Execute "flash-all.sh"
- Wait for the installation process to complete
- Reboot once you can, and go back into fastboot

**Reflash recovery (stock images rewrite recovery)**
- Extract "TWRP.RecoveryNexus5.zip" into a folder
- Place downloaded TWRP .img into the same folder (i.e "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-hammerhead.img")
- Edit "TWRP.Recovery.Nexus5" file > line 36 > change to above .img. An example:
./fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-hammerhead.img

Once completed you can let your phone boot normally (i.e, reboot into system).

Now you can mount the file system and place ROM files via USB again.... then boot into recovery and flash whatever you need.
