Hello everyone,
My Nexus 4 is currently in a bricked state and I am certain I can do something with QPST to it. However, it asks for a phone and/or boot image to flash in the form of a .HEX extension. I have also the .TOT file for stock factory image for the Nexus 4, but I do not know what to do with it!
Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
Hey try this.

I just got nexus 7, I updated it to 4.2.1 then used toolkit and I accidentally used the version for 16gb or 8 and didn't notice 32gb down on the bottom. I then did the all in one and it was telling me to use the older boot loader version. After doing all Idk what's happening. Its not holding CWM I have to keep flashing it on to work and Idk how to unbrick it because I'm boot looping.. I wonder if flashing a ROM may help but I'm not sure witch section my nexus 7 is supposed to be in. I have nexus 7 32gb no 3g.
Please help me! Thanks.
Also I'm not a noob.

Try wugs tool to return to stock firmware. Then just run the right version. If recovery doesn't stick with his tool then use twrp. That recovery will stick. Then you can use the flashable zip from Dev section for cwm touch.

I think flashing any ROM will fix this problem. Is android development the correct section for my nexus 7? I had tried flashing a WiFi+3g kernel witch also gave me bootloop

It can be used to install stock as well as root.
Also android Dev is the right section but there are a few different variants of the nexus 7. People have had issues with certain things even if they are meant for their device.

i accidently deleted all my folder in my nexus 4 storage, and now the phone cannot boot into the rom and when i try to reflash a rom and it show
"couldn't open directory" and there is nothing in my memory, how can i fixed it up?
Can you not into recovery? If not maybe adb a custom recovery then adb a rom and not into recovery?
BTW this should be in the Q&A forum

thanks for your reply, i can get into recovery, and i reflash recovery using nexus 4 toolkits too. but when i go into recovery it still "couldn't open directory" , anything wrong of it?
I have used the info from the site below in the past. It was written for the nexus 7, so make sure that you grab and flash the nexus 4 files instead of the nexus 7 files.
Like I said, this has worked for me but use at your own risk. This will completely wipe out the phone and return you to stock.

Why go so far away to return to stock, we have some great guides here? Check efrant's guide in the link in my signature.
So i recently bought a new N7 and i was searching for a good rooting guide on rooting but i couldn't find any.... So can anyone give me a link to a guild(i would like a simple and easy method) to unlock bootloader and flash recovery and root my grouper please.......

2012 or 2013 model. You say new but also say grouper so just trying to make sure you know what you have as many people are clueless. If 2013 you need to go to that forum if 2012 do an actual search query for rooting a nexus 7 it's a common topic. Many people want to use tool kits to do it but it is recommended you read up on fastboot and adb in the event a problem crops up it is easier to fix.

can u link me to a detailed stepwise guild to do so?

Rooting for both devices takes 30 seconds to do manually with the same steps except the recovery image.

There are these things called stickies. They reside in the top section of each forum. You should read some.

Can I use the Nexus toolkit to unlock n root, latest firmware not listed. Is it still supported?

I'd recommend learning to do it manually rather than a toolkit, that way this will never be an issue again. It's very easy to do. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051. The entire instruction set is in the very first post.

That is not manually rooting. It uses auto root (and has superfluous steps), which is silly for a nexus device.
This is how you root "manually":

We're here to help, man. Try it manually and let us know if you run into any problems. It's basically impossible to hard brick a Nexus device. Almost anything can be recovered from.

I have used the wugfresh toolkit to root on latest firmware (KRT16S) and it works fine. Just select the "any build" option. Don't know about unlocking though, as my device was unlocked from 4.3
However, I do remember that I was able to unlock my 7 using the wugfresh toolkit BEFORE there was even an option for "nexus 7 2013" so it will probably work ?
Or you could do it the way everybody else here is saying, instead of the newb way ? (but I prefer the newb way)

Toolkit was updated and supports latest kitkat, I prefer the easy way. Not that I wouldn't of tried the other method. I've rooted plenty... Just wanted the easy option. Took a while to sort out.. As I had just factory restored my laptop. Anyways that's for all ur help guys, all sorted here!
Wugfresh is what I used. Works flawlessly. Very fast an simple ?

I really don't understand how a toolkit can be "the easy way" on a nexus device. Run two fastboot commands and press one button and you've done it manually. You never have to worry about someone else's code working or compatibility for future updates. And it's the same for any nexus device.

Well it's all good, I'm happy...the toolkit was coded by a legend.. Who I've donated too in the past.
