So here is my dilemma. I was having problems with my Google apps for whatever reason. Manually updated to 4.2 and still has the same problems. Did a factory reset and the problems went away. Decided I wanted to get rid of root and relock the bootloader since I'm going to give her thus one because I'm upgrading to the 32GB model. Wanted to get rid of the superuser icon in the app drawer mainly. I went to googles site and downloaded the factory images for 4.2. Used it in conjunction with the nexus 7 toolkit. Long story short for whatever reason the process didn't complete. Pretty sure I don't have a factory image at all at this point. I tried to use the nexus 7 toolkit but of course now it won't see my device. My tablet is still unlocked. I'm assuming I'm going to have to manually push the image to the phone. If any body can start me off in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. Especially if someone were able to provide links to the info I may need. In the mean time I'm looking around on Google. Haven't found anything concrete yet. As a side note if anyone could tell me how to actually turn off the tablet do I can preserve the battery it would be appreciated. I can only get it to show fast boot mode or the Google screen. Can't power down.

Nexus 7 toolkit?
Fastboot mode?
That's all you need.

Dunno... after trying to update yesterday, twrp, cwm, stock wasn't having it, had to put stock boot loader back on, everything wiped, not a problem....nandroid backup....toolkit shows it working but nothing, toolkit said everything was there....only unlock and root worked, everything else was borked.
And I had to use Windows for the tool kit. Doh.
Toolkit has been a bane for me, finally got 4.2 using root keeper.
Off-topic.... maybe.
Lesson learnt... definitely.

Can't use the toolkit bcuz it doesn't see my device. Can't enable USB debugging. Unless there is a way around that?

Well, after trying to charge my Nexus in the car, it appears the USB has gone kaput and only charges the device now (although it doesn't actually say it's charging, the percentage just increases). Anyway, as it would appear a return is in order, I'd like to remove the unlocked sign on my bootloader to be able to send it back, but without USB, the conventional fastboot/adb method is out the window. Anybody got any suggestions? Thanks.
Bump, per chance?
Use wugfresh toolkit and Hitt the oem lock option
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The OP clearly said they are looking for a method that doesn't require USB. So your method suggesting he use wugs toolkit isn't the answer he's looking for. And honestly I don't think there is a way to do it without USB capabilities.

I don't think you can.
I'm not exactly a pro at this, but as far as I know you need fast boot mode to lock/unlock the bootloader.
I installed twrp last night (got bored with cwm) and noticed it has a command line section. I don't know if you could use this to lock the bootloader. If you look up one of the manual guides to locking/unlocking maybe try whatever it says to type in a terminal there?
The only problem is then you couldn't put back the stock recovery.

You can use this to install the stock ROM and kernel, there is also an option to unroot it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929270 (install zip in custom recovery)
I don't know how to OEM lock your tablet without a pc..
Hope this helps

I would be really surprised if it is not simply a bad micro USB cable. Try another one, if you have it laying around, or pick one up for cheap. My unofficial cable would charge, but not write for some reason.
i had the same problem after using a car charger.After some days that i charged with original charger only, charging icon started working and also fastboot.But usb otg functions were still dead either in twrp recovery or inside the rom.
After i flashed ota update (i was in stock 4.1.2) for 4.2 it magically started fully working.First i thought that it was 4.2 that made it work,but i went back in 4.1.2 (nandroid restore) and it continue to work ok.Of course i dont use anymore 3rd party chargers.I see now that my bootloader is 4.13 but it work ok with 4.1.2 too,so i will not change it to 3.41
I've tried 4 or 5 different cables and no luck unfortunately. Going from my beloved PA 2.54 to stock 4.2 temporarily to see if it fixes it, fingers crossed!
Update: Unfortunately I've not been so lucky problem persists...

And now I'm stuck on 4.2 with root not working, my recovery corrupt, and USB still not working :crying:
Looks like I'll be sending it back and hoping they ignore the little opened padlock on my splash screen

Adb won't do it, it has to be fast boot, and it has to be usb.

Hi ! I'm in the same situation and am thinking of returning it. How did it go ? Did they accept it ?

Hi I have a problem with my Nexus 7 (32 gb wifi only version).
My son in his infinite wisdom decided to install ubuntu on the tablet.
I went to try and restore this back to the android version but all it did was to wipe off ubuntu itself
I then went on jayceooi.com and used the nexus toolbox to see if I could reflash the images etc.Howveer although all the files were downloaded I canot get the laptop to recognise the nexus itself (even though it sems to charge the tablet). There is no menu at all to check whether or not usb debugging is ticked or not..
Im now left with the tablet without no apparent operating system. At the moment all it shows is the green android with fastboot mode but when I hit start it says booting failed.
Could someone help please before I do any more damage and I brick it completly (although I may have already done so)
thankyou for any help

It can do more then just root

Yes it can do restore back to stock. Just follow the guide to unlock bootloader so it can flash stock image then just re lock bootloader. It covers the process in op.

Ok thanks all. Seemed to be doing everything ok but its been stuck on"waiting for your device to finish booting back up" for about 30 minutes now. It did say it would take 5 to 10 mins but should i carry on waiting or abort and start again do you think?
thanks
I would reset it see if that helped

If your son re did the partitions for Ubuntu that could have messed things up pretty good. I have only had my nexus for a few days so I couldn't tell you how to fix the formatting quite yet. I would search around on how to verify and correct the partitions if needed.

Hello forgive me if this is the wrong place on this forum for this topic.
I unlocked my phone with the wugfresh method and did keep it stock ROM. Now my sweet google phone wants to update OTA but it won't do it.
Can someone help me. I want to go 4.3 and keep it stock, and rooted: )
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Do it manually by downloading the Google factory images and flashing them yourself. Can either flash them through a toolkit like I did (which most people wouldn't recommend), or you can flash them yourself with fastboot. A quick search or look around will show you how to do it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
Do you mean that selecting the download/install button will not do anything?
Did you install a custom recovery?, you need a stock recovery for it to work, I have the stock recovery image itself if you need it.

Indeed de download/install button didn't do anything. I have custom recovery twrp on it.
I did downloaded the nexus 4 image and unpacked it. And tried to install true a toolkit but with no luck.

i guess the google image isnt on the sd card anymore. how do i put the google image on the sd card.
i am using the wugg fresh method now
Use fastboot to flash the image from your computer. Efrant has a guide for returning to stock in General.
This, yet again, is why people shouldn't use toolkits.
gues thanks my nexus is back alife with the post in the general, id managed it. thanks guys.
this method brings me some old dos memories back :highfive: hhehe was fun afterwarts
now running stock again with 12gb memm
Heya...
On my 16GB Grouper I had installed the stock rooted 4.3 rom. Yesterday a system OTA update message appeared on my screen - 1.7 MB. I let it download and install over night and just went to bed. Came back in the morning to a boot loop where the device got stuck with the four colorful thingies animation. I can access the bootloader, but the recovery seems to be broken. Can't remember if I had anything other than the stock one... Anyways, now I'm strugling to get this thing going again. I am a zero at ADB but willing to learn whatever is necessary to get me started with a working recovery at least. No tool root box will do anything really for me...
Thanks for your help in advance
Hey!
Had a problem just like yours. If your running windows then install this program its called nexus tool kit. I'm a newbie here but if you Google 'nexus toolkit wug fresh' you can find it
All you need to do is plug your device in and open the program, then select flash OTA with the boot loop option and then follow the on screen instructions
That should put you back to normal with a fresh start meaning all you data will be lost. You can also root from there to.

Yeah. It would be dumb to actually learn what you are doing to your device. You should totally use a toolkit.

Thank you guys. You might not believe it, but I'm not a newb to Android or flashing. It's just that I've always been playing around with Samsung devices and there you'd normaly turn to Odin in case something went wrong. Here it's different.
Anyways, with this comprehensive guide I've been able to reflash a recovery image and my old rom. Unfortunately losing all of my data in the process, but there was no way to save it.
