Narrative:

Upon rotation the captain called 'gear up.' I reached over to retract the landing gear and the handle would not move past the 'off' position. I attempted to retract the gear three times and the handle remained stuck in the off position. We contacted departure and informed them that we would need a heading and altitude while we ran the QRH. I ran the QRH procedure for landing gear retraction that instructed us to hold the override button and the gear handle would still not move past the 'off' position. The captain and I made the decision to return.... We informed ATC that we would need delaying vectors while we prepared for the approach. As we prepared; the captain attempted to set the autobrakes. The autobrakes would not set and we received the autobrakes EICAS message and ran that QRH as well. We texted dispatch via ACARS and never received a response. We felt that given the inability to retract the landing gear and experiencing an autobrakes failure; getting the aircraft on the ground was the safest course of action.... After briefing the approach; we informed airport rescue and fire fighting that we would be overweight and to keep an eye on the brakes as we were concerned with brake temperatures after landing given the high landing weight of the aircraft. The captain flew the approach safely using automation and executed a firm but safe landing. We taxied to the gate without incident.
