Uh... Are you basically asking us to spoon feed you with links? If you do a little search, you can easily find the answer.

The answers to your question are in the "Nexus 4 development section".. Look for the"Nexus 4 utility" thread. Nobody is going to link you when u can just go and look for yourself. It's 1 click fix. Good luck.

How are we being rude when you're the one who ain't putting the effort into looking it up on your own? I can understand if it's a question that not a lot of people know about - but in regards to your question, I could look it up in less than 2 minutes. Instead of making others spoon feed you with link(s), try to find it yourself.

I have tried googling my question but nothing comes up, the only links that pop up are how to root the nexus 4.
Yes find the xda link for that and if its how it should be you should also find a flash to stock, if you are a noon you should really start to make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM so you can always flash back

If you don't want to be called a noob for asking questions that have easy answers, then why not ask in the noob-friendly "Help Thread" in the stickies? It's a lot more fun for all of us, in the end. The reason no one is giving you links is because you wouldn't learn anything from it, you must become self sufficient if you wish to use XDA to its fullest
Folks if any of you have the issue i did please dont worry about the trolls, only 1 person seemed to offer advice as is evident in this thread if your using a mac your going to want to install windows 7 on the bootcamp.
Next download a program called LG google nexus 4 toolkit (I will provide a link unlike the trolls above) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688
When that is installed your going to want to boot your device in fastboot mode, launch the toolkit and select option 9.
then select option 1 so it downloads the latest stock rom and follow the on screen instructions, my phone is now restored. If any of you run into problems give me a shout and ill try help
For those not too keen on installing bootcamp another user posted this

let's simplify things for mac.
-create a folder on the desktop and rename it "nexus"
-download this: https://www.box.com/s/7s02gu6o1cn6wcz6fszr and extract the files in the "nexus" folder. don't create a new folder. just dump the files there
-download the images: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jop40c-factory-cd3dc140.tgz then extract them all in the "nexus" folder. there is a zip file inside which needs to be extracted as well.
-look in your "nexus" folder and see if it contains the fastboot and adb files and the 6 img files you extracted. if they are still within a folder, remove them and paste just inside the "nexus" folder you created.
-once that is set up, you can now follow the link of efrant's guide for flashing but when you use the fastboot command, you need to use it as ./fastboot-mac so that the commands will work.
-you can actually just go straight to bootloader mode or fastboot mode on your phone by turning it off then turning it on by pressing volume down and power.

Here is the link to Efrats guide as mentioned in the quote: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1
People aren't trolls. Right in the general section there is a sticky that has all the info one would need to get back to stock. Then as other posters have said there is toolkit threads in the dev sections as well that include going back to stock.
@Vermillon: If you're calling me a " troll ", you surely don't know the true meaning of that word.

Download factory image from Google, just search for nexus factory image.
Unpack it and run .bat file with phone connected.

Hello everyone!
I am planning to buy a nexus 4 as soon as it is back in stock. I currently have a gs2 and I realized that it has some amazing Dev support. Most of my phones have been Samsung, so I am most familiar with their development. What I mean is the Odin is an easy one click solution to most problems, and there is even mobile Odin so I can flash on the go!
It is quite amazing, I just flashed a stock ROM to get a GPS lock then back to cm10.1 with no issue, without a computer. These things have saved me on multiple occasions.
My question is, is the development here as advanced or more advanced? Are there tools that easily allow you to root, back up, restore, and flash your phone?
I have a nexus 7 and there is a tool that does that for PC, is it compatible with the 4? And is there anyway to do that on the phone?
My biggest concern is getting in over my head. I recently tried the galaxy s 3 and thought I knew what I was doing, but there was a surprising lack of development there, and returning to stock took me hours and many Google searches. Want to make sure the process is simpler here before I start messing with my new nexus 4. I am never worried about breaking my gs2. But on my nexus 7 I have left it as stock rooted because I didn't want to venture too far into unknown territory.
Thank you all for any answers.

I think I answered my own question. I guess my question is: to those of you that have had Samsung phones and used Odin. Do you feel as supported and prepared as you did with those great tools?

I hate Odin. Give me fastboot and stock .img files and I'm "supported and prepared."
Also, before tackling a device, ALWAYS know how to fix a bootloop/soft brick. The fact that you're asking tells me you haven't read enough. No offense.

None taken. You are right. I have repaired all types of Samsung devices both hardware and software but this is my first nexus phone. Thank you for the answer though.

My bad. I copied the wrong link. It has been fixed.
I am strongly against toolkits and the link I have corrected in my previous post explains why.
I'd suggest you read efrant's nexus 4 101 guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010338

Used Odin on my T999,i9100/i9300, as well as i747.. It is nowhere near as simple as fastboot. Odin is great, sure but fastboot is much cleaner and much less can go wrong.
You started off on the right foot by asking and making this thread instead of just blindly flashing, so props. The two others that have responded are by far my favorites in the N4 forums simply because they know what they are talking about and respond much more than I do
Make sure you learn your fastboot commands and you will be able to recovery from bad flashes, etc easily and in a matter of minutes.
Also, the toolkit should only be used AFTER you are familiar with commands - and lastly it no longer links to stock images but a few members here have them on their personal dropbox accounts. I recommend downloading those so you have them handy.

+1 on fastboot commands.
Know those commands and invest some of your time learning at least the basics. It will get you out of sticky situations. Not just for N4 but for future Android devices you'll own. Avoid root kits or at least until you know the concept behind how it does its thing.

I keep the stock .img files, as well as the drivers and adb folder (including fastboot) in my drop box so that I can access them from any computer in a pinch.

Toolkits are great for quick fixes or more advanced things (like flashing without increasing the flash counter) but I always worry that maybe the version I have is out of date. I've used fast boot commands in the post. But they have always fine with detailed instructions in a preset folder. The more I know about android the better.
Thanks for all of the help and the reading materials

So I read the post about toolkits and I agree. But I have unbricked my phone using ADB before. And I think a toolkit like the nexus toolkit is useful because it has so many processes in one place. Easy and quick repairs for the flashaholic on the run. Though I will be rooting and installing cwm manually. I will probably use the nexus toolkit for its many easy to access features that have saved my nexus 7.

Just so you know, there is no flash counter to worry about here.
Also, this business about lots of things in one place is interesting, as there isn't much to have. Throw everything you need on drop box and you'll always have it. Your recovery img, bootloader.img, system.img, boot.img, adb/fastboot driver, etc. Then you're golden.
I think you're used to things being more complicated. Welcome to the world of Nexus.
This phone does have a dedicated "download mode," just like Samsung phones. A LG tool is probably out there somewhere. Is it public though?

I meant on other devices.
Also the toolkit has cwm injection, temp cwm, and about 20 other options. That is what I meant by fast and east

Yes it has all of those options but you don't even need 90% of them after you initially unlock the bootloader and root the phone

And are also a big part of the reason 50 bazillion threads asking "How do I unbrick my Nexus?" exist. Using a toolkit helps you postpone getting comfortable with fastboot and keeping the necessary files handy.
We can go back and forth on this for the rest of our lives. Do it whatever way works for you. I'm done.
Another good thing about the toolkit is that you don't have to download 20 different things. CWM, SuperSU, drivers...it is a one stop shop.
up front sorry for all the noob questions....
I bought the nexus 7 from a co-worker, it was already rooted and loaded with CM 10.1.
I hear android images for 4.3 hit today, I don't want to loose root so what do I need to do?
About how long does it take CM to have 4.3 available?
Nobody knows. When source is released then the cm team will evaluate and attempt to merge the code.
Just wait patiently or learn how the entire system works and do it yourself.

You read everything you can. You obviously do not need to be trying to flash anything at this point or you will be back here asking how to recover your device. You need to spend at least a few days reading. As far as root goes, there is no method to root yet... It just came out.

Will that's not quite true, I am on 4.3 and have root back with the new super user...
BUT, Russell, I agree with graydiggy. Read read read... There are stickies and info threads that tell how to root, unlock, flash.... Know how to do this before you go playing with new versions and CM night lies... and tempting as it may be, know enough beyond a "toolkit" to root, unlock etc... WUGFRESH has a nice tool but knowing is more than half the battle in this case... Enjoy CM 10.1 until you know enough, and they have 4.3 base... With some work, they will be about the same time...
