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

The problem is I don't have the backup saved to a computer. It was only on the device. Now it's gone. And I don't understand what you mean by booting into bootloader and flashing the stock Rom. I'm so lost. Please continue to try to help me through this. Thank you

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

See the link I posted earlier, there you can find the 4.2.2 image for the nexus 7 wifi only (grouper/nakasi)
I'm on phone right now so I can't post the link, just search for nexus 7 toolkit on Google, or see the general/development section. It should be pinned there

Just download it and extract it. Then you go in the extracted folder and you can see some files and the flash-all.bat. This will do everything for you. No need to place the package anywhere, just do it like I said and it should work. Try it

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.
Can anyone point me to a OSX guide to put the phone back to stock? I made a nandroid backup but am not sure how to get stock recovery and relock bootloader properly so that they don't know I messed around with it. thanks in advance.
Get your hands on a PC for about an hour and use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469
I know it's annoying and as a fellow Mac user I wish there was a good toolkit like the above that worked in OSX but right now there really isn't (as far as I know).
Wug's toolkit is awesome. I used it to unroot/re-lock my first N4 before sending it back when my RMA unit came. The process is so easy and straightforward with that kit that it would be worth borrowing someone's PC for 30 minutes or so to use it.
If I root it on my Linux I'll still be straight putting files on from my mac right ?

just download the SDK or mac platform-tools then unpack the google stock image to that directory and run the script google supplies.
phone will be wiped and flashed with latest software ready to be returned; its the easiest way rather than flashing each element individually.

Exactly this. How come people don't get their backup routine sorted before blindly jumping into rooting? I still baffles me to this day...
You don't really need to on Nexus devices, you just grab the factory image from Google and reflash it.
Awesome. Thank you all for the responses.
I was trying to flash a rom and I guess I accidentally wiped EVERYTHING and now when I try to boot it says no OS is installed ): any helpp will be appreciated. I still have access to fastboot and recovery, adb also recognises it when connected
Use the toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195 and flash a factory image. :good:

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

I've been trying to restore my Nexus 4 back to stcok andriod.. but, I do not have the 4.2.1 factory image as google has taken it down.. I need it to be able to flash Android OS back on my device.. I have been looking all over trying to find a link for a download, but I have only seen links that have taken me to a non-existent Googe webpage. Does someone know where or how I can find the 4.2.1 jop40d factory image?
I have tried to use the 4.2.2 image but it does not flash.
install a nexus 4 toolkit and it will give you the choice to download factory image ...their is a site I will try find you it :thumbup:

Wug's toolkit is your best bet, it's in the original development forum. One click flash back to stock, should be 4.2.1 I would think.

Just tried to use Wug's toolkit, but the kit attempts to download the factory image from the google website and obviously fails since it is not there.
EDIT: Nevermind, used wrong toolkit. It is now downaloding. Will let y'all know when it finishes.
So, the device is recognized when booted into Ubuntu OS, and the toolkit is telling me that it is booting it into Fastboot. even when the computer checks for fasboot, the phone remains in the normal on. When i reboot into fastboot manually, the computer no longer recognizes it.
This thread can be closed. It finally went through.
phone got wiped, os and all. can only get into team win recovery (no android with !). in recovery file manager there is NOTHING on the phone. can not get phone to be recognized by computer. used sdk to install drivers still nothing. can not activate usb debugging as there is no os. reboot in recovery gives warning no os on phone. there is nothing to restore, all folders in install tab are completely empty. is there anyway to save my phone? there is nothing on it...just enough for safe mode and recovery.
You need to get the computer to recognize your device. When booted into recovery and the device connected to your pc go to device manager and see what the issue is.

You've got two options
1. Flash the factory image.with fastboot. You'll then have to re-install twrp amrd root
2. Push a rom onto your device using adb in recovery. Then flash that in twrp

Simplest way is to download the factory image. Google nexus factory image. It's a .tgz file. Extract it using 7-zip. There's a flash-all.bat file in there. Boot into the bootloader and with your device connected to the pc just double click the flash-all.bat. It will wipe your device so if you can, backup first.
