How to flash factory nexus 4 image through fastboot? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to flash the stock image as I can't update to newest build after deleting some Google apps. Anyone know the procedure if I wanna flash it through fast boot?

You can try searching for it yourself... There is the nexus 4 toolkit which is pretty easy

fastboot flash system system.img

Please don't use the toolkit.

Flash twrp, then find a zip file with the recovery you want and flash that? Or buy flash image GUI from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui sounds like that does what you're looking for

Does 4.2.2 ota break root?

Said something about unsigned or unverified from cwm recovery. Aborted now I'm curious what to do next.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes it does, I'm currently having this problem... Rooted, updated ota and now root is gone and not sure what to do

I just used the toolkit to root again afterwards.
Toolkit option 4?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yes. However, mine is the donate version, so I'm not sure if that will make a difference. You might want to check out the thread first.
Why not just fastboot flash your recovery and then use that to flash your su zip?

Phone not booting after stock flash

Having a bit of bother getting my nexus up and running again. Pulled my phone out my pocket and it was turned off. Powered it on but it wouldn't get past Google screen. No twrp recovery. Nothing. So done the usual and get nexus toolkit out. Re locked and unlocked bootloader. Downloaded stock 4.2.2 flashed it but still stuck at Google screen. Can get in to fast boot but that's it.
Any help appreciated because I'm not sure what to do next
Cheers
Steven

Try going into fastboot, and flashing stock with the official firmware from google (Type Nexus stock on Google). If you want to, you can even replace the recovery.img inside the zip for a custom recovery

Been installing stock from fastboot but can't get into recovery to wipe it so that it will boot.
What program can I use to compress tgz files. I've changed the recovery to twrp but not sure how to pack it up again

When I flash stock with nexus 4 toolkit it comes up archive doesn't contain boot.sig recovery.sig or system.sig. Why is this?

If you know how to use the ADB and the fastboot command, that is the way to go. It is by far the best way to go. Use one of the guides on this website, don't have the direct link but look for efrants guide for returning back to stock. Search isn't working now

Lost my internal storage

So I rooted and lost half my internal storage ... If I flash a ROM and then flash the stock recovery wipe cache and factory reset should I be able to get my memory back ?

So you have a 32gb device but you only have 16 now? You didn't reboot after you unlocked the bootloader did you? A factory reset in the stock recovery should fix that

can i flash those 4.4.3 costom rom on top of what i have ? or we have to wait for stock 4.43?
Did you back up your stock rom. I think it will do because it will erase everything event your internal file. After that you can root and install twrp.

Yes have my backup stock.

In that case copy all your backup to computer and run nexus root toolkit, just follow the instruction and you good to go.

So I have to go back to stock rom before I can flash 4.4.3 custom rom? What about do I need to update the bootloader?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Restore to stock, plug your n7 to computer and make sure you have unlock boot loader, install n7 driver with adb , turn on USB debuting, and open the latest wugfresh root tool kit. Choose your firmware which is ktu84l n7 wifi. Find flash stock and unroot button. It will request you to download factory img. If you already download then proceed to flash. it will take a while just be patient. If done you can rooted back, just choose root with custom recovery.
Guys correct me if I am wrong, this is my personal experience.
