Is this the stock recovery?

If you have access to fastboot, then flash a factory os. That simple.

I've tried to using two different toolkits and niether will accomplish the task. Is there an alternative way? i.e manually doing it using ADB?
And thanks for helping

fastboot flash each of them
boot into stock recovery and u will get stuck at the laying android
push volume up + power til it enters stock recovery

Yea you flashed a rom specifically setup as a 8gb. I've seen this before. No worries. You just have to flash all the above like the poster above said.

the rom is universal. I think the issue is the sdcard not being wiped first. maybe even a fastboot erase userdata will do it bit I haven't tried.

Had the same problem few weeks back, running the flash-all.sh will do.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
Anyone think this will help with my apps not being able to access internal memory? ie dropbox pictures won't load, can't save a picture from camera, amazon books won't download.

hmm, so for us windows users, do we just extract the zip, open a command prompt in that unzipped fold and do bash flash-all.sh?

No, the 'sh' files are for Linux operating systems only.
On Windows, just extract the ZIP, make sure platform-tools is in %path%, then open flash-all.bat
If you're on Windows, you don't need a command prompt. You can just open the bat file, because Windows already has bat files registered under the defaults program thingy.

boot loop

My Nexus is stuck in a boot loop.
Trying to load into the ROM will leave me stuck at the Google logo but the unlocked pad(bootloader unlocked). Trying to get into recovery mode will do the same thing. I can temp boot into TWRP using wugs toolkit
I have some very important videos on my Nexus 7 that I would like to recover before flashing the stock ROM
Can anyone tell me the steps to recover when in my position?
Thanks

Accidentally deleted internal storage. Pls help!

I have TWRP recovery and before installing new ROM I accidentally deleted my internal storage. I can go into recovery but have nothing in storage to reboot to. Can someone help me as to how I can load a new ROM into phone to flash and reboot my phone. Thanks.
Use the return to stock thread stickied in general. You can use fastboot to flash back to stock.
I did this a few weeks ago. Good learning experience! :thumbup:

Start there.
Of course this would all be worlds easier if you were running Windows. Then you could just download the Nexus 4 Toolbox and be done with it.
Simpleast. In twrp there is sideload under advanced settings to load a file. I loaded rom zip and flashed it. Done. THANKS TO YOU ALL GOOD PEOPLE.

Superwipe script wiped everything. HELP

Ok. I used a super wipe script. Now my device has nothing but the boot loader and twrp is still installed. I was on the new ota 4.2.2. I also have 4.18 boot loader. I have no os and all of my backups are gone so I can't restore anything. How can I install this from a computer and push it to my device? I really need help. I'm not brand new. But I've never been in this situation. Thanks to anyone who can help make my device operable again.

If TWRP is installed and you can boot in TWRP, try to mount the usb and copy the backup to the device. I'm not sure, but you could use adb push in the recovery, too
Otherwise just boot into bootloader, flash the stock rom, boot, root, copy the backup on the sdcard, flash TWRP, restore it

I thought you had a backup on your PC, if not you will loose all your data
Do it like the guy above said, or just download the stock image (for your device) from here, extract everything and just run the flash-all.bat (if you are on windows). This will flash the stock rom so you should be able to boot your device again

It seems like for me downloading the stock image and running the flash all bat would be the best solution for my level of experience. I just don't know what you mean by running the flash all bat. Do I need sdk or something to do that? I need the most simple solution possible with my level of experience. But thanks a million.

No need to install anything! Just download the package for your device and extract it. Now open the archive and there is a file called flash-all.bat.
Now you hold power and volume down on your nexus 7 to get into fasboot mode (the bootloader). If you are there, plug the nexus via usb in your pc.
Now just double click the flash-all.bat and it will flash the stock rom
If this won't work, because windows can't detect the device, download the Nexus 7 Toolkit, install it and open it. There's an option to install the drivers

Help with Fastboot, Nex4 wont boot any further

I've aquired this Nexus 4 from a friend who has somehow wiped the recovery and rom, I can boot into fastboot, but that's it, if I go to the recovery option through fast boot it gives me the android with the exclamation point, implying there is no functional recovery.
So! I've finally borrowed a friends laptop and am having trouble getting fastboot setup, Drivers/Fastboot has always been my downfall.
I recently used this same computer to root a nexus 5 so I should have proper **** for that, would that work? can anyone maybe help me out a little.
I check device manager (Windows 7) and there's no category that has anything to do with the nexus 4 or removable devices. I've tried installing drivers a couple different ways, but am having no luck of course. I would try to delete the previously installed drivers but I have no entry to device manager to click, The only will only boot as far as fastboot so I'm just kinda stuck as fastboot hasn't really been my thing, I have fastboot.exe on this pc from previous use, I tried to go to the folder and "open command prompt here" and type adb devices to see if it would show the device and got nothing so I'm kinda lost, someone please help me out as I only have this laptop for as long as my friend is here and theres no others near to me use. Please and thank you

You'll probably need to flash the factory image, get it from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Un- zip it and inside you'll see a flash-all.bat. while you're booted into the bootloader double click on the bat.

My thoughts are since the recovery is screwed I just need get fastboot functional and flash a recovery, I'm a custom ROM kinda guy. So if that's all I need than cool, (I currently have a nexus 5) I know mako has other bootloaders and radios and **** and I'm not sure exactly what version of android this is on or anything. Bit my situation is definitely having a phone that'll only go to fastboot, when I try to boot regularly it just sits at the Google logo.

Not sure if just flashing the recovery will work, but download the factory image and unzip it. Inside is another zip, unzip that too. There you'll find the recovery.img
In fastboot use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If all you want to do is flash the factory image just use the flash-all.bat that's inside the factory image. Extract the image then with you device in fastboot mode and connected to the pc, just double click the batch file

Which modem should I be using?
