If you have to rely on a toolkit, you shouldnt be modding ANY device.
Then guide doesn't say that tho I'm using the [[REF]] all in one nexus 7 jelly bean android development thread then go down to guides and tools click on unlock and root a nexus 7 I'm using that guide

really?
path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img really doesnt make you wonder where that file is?
put the recovery.img file in the same folder as your fastboot.exe
run the command
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img <<this should be the ACTUAL name of the recovery filled in by you, whatever it is named.
ALSO
remember earlier when i told you to update the adb and fastboot files? (SDK) did you actually do that?
this stuff isnt rocket science, and if you dont have basic computer knowledge, you shouldnt be doing ANY modding of your device....this is ridiculous

Hi guys.
I need to send google my device and i rooted it last day. I used the toolkit that can be found on the site, option 8.
If i do a factory reset, would that be enought?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
No, but the best way to do it is flash the stock images from Google, will be 100% stock.
Don't forget to lock bootloader as well!
Sent from my Jelly Nexus 4
Flash a factory Google image, then make sure your recovery is NOT CWM or TWRP and then re lock the bootloader. Then you should be good to go!

re read, i editted
edit: nevermind
So,
I have Nexus 7 16gb (grouper) and the problem is that it can not recognize the usb(as I guess)
It doesn't charge when powered on. I should turn it off and connect the charger and i charges .
The PC doesn't recognize it . (both Linux Ubuntu 12.10(with necessary rules) and Windows 7)
OTG doesn't work.
The adb does not recognize it.
When in bootloader adb doesn't recognize it. (so i can't flash anything)
I am on stock 4.2.1 JOP40D with CWM and M-KERNEL a32.
Tried wiping everything(leaved only system) and the same result.
It happened after I charged it with car charger.
BTW in bootloader menu it shows:
Baseband Version : N/A
Help me please!
So it does charge when off?

Hmm. There's an app on play store flash image GUI. Not sure if you can lock boot loader with that, but you will need to either stock and relock or get it to not charge at all. Then you can RMA the thing
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Thanks!
I thought about flashing again bootloader via CWM
Is that a good idea?
What RMA means?
If happened to me I would try a ROM with stock kernel first
ADB is only for Android OS... You need to use fastboot instead while in bootloader.

In 4.2.2 I used AOKP. I think they're working on 4.3 now (hopefully it will be out soon).
Cyanogemod is pretty awesome and simple too.

Not if you don't reboot after you unlock. Flash a custom recovery right after you unlock wipe caches then reboot = no data loss

If you are looking for some performance enhancements then you just need a root and CWM(recovery) installed for flashing kernels, check Nexus 4 toolkit. Custom ROMS are more for aesthetic enhancements, and the most worked ROM on the area of aesthetic changes is Paranoid Android ROM, they have regular builds for Nexus 4. So check them out, Enjoy your N4 ! .

Hello, as some of you may know I currently use a computer on which I dont have admin rights, so to flash a factory image, I wanted to use 7-zip portable edition, but it is a .exe file so I cant install it on my phone. What do I have to do?
And when I use this to extract factory images, I just have to place the neccesary files on my computer and flash them in fastboot?

Use ZArchiver, it extracts most files.

On my computer or phone? I am actually thinking why I cant just use winzip or something, because it extracts the files as well right? As long as you get the necessary images out of it you're good to go, not?

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

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

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
