So I decided to restore my Nandroid of Stock ROM so I could upgrade it to 4.2.2. Now I have lost Root. Problem is when I try to enter Recovery I get the Android dude with the red triangle and it says "No Command" underneath it. How do I get back to recovery? I've tried searching but haven't gotten the answer. Thanks in advance!

if you flashed the official 4.2.2, it replaced your recovery with the stock recovery(android dude w/the red triangle) and you lost root. all you have to do is flash a custom recovery via fastboot then flash a custom rom or the su binaries.

so you have used the Nandroid of Stock ROM?
as stated above you can get a custom recovery back, then flash a kernel or a root package. should be fairly easy, to get back no worries!

Any instructions for this? I use a Mac computer and the instructions I've seen are for windows. I'm not a Noob but am a little unfamiliar with ADB and Fastboot.

I used the instructions from Androidrootz.com. I figured I could just do this again but when I tried it still got the android dude.

Hello! I updated my nexus 4 to 4.3 with the OTA, but why do so many people have trouble updating their N4 to 4.3 when they are running a custom rom?
U can easily flash 4.3 builds through CWM or TWRP. Or is there a difference between flashing through recovery and flashing through fastboot?

Flashing through fastboot means doing it thru your PC with commands on the CMD and i think it uses different files ( I'm not so sure about that)

Yeah I know but why does everyone want to flash it through fastboot if you can easily flash through recovery?

At least to me, i tried flashing thru custom recovery and it gave me an error every time so had to flash the image thru fastboot. Its (i think) the easiest way if you don't want to find youself having many problems.
Hello! I have TWRP installed on my device without root or custom rom/kernel. Is there a way I can just flash the stock recovery to get future OTA updates? I prefer using a method that doesnt require admin rights on my pc, because I am not using my own pc for the moment.
You can get the factory image, extract ALL the zips and when you find the recovery image do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".

That's the problem. Efrant says you have to use 7zip and not any other thing to extract the image, but I cant install it because I dont have admin rights on this pc.
You can use Flashify from Play Store to flash recovery images without PC.

I downloaded the factory image myself, but you can give it to me as well so I know I did it correctly. Why actually do you have to use 7zip?
Edit: nope I cant extract it myself

Yeah, it totally worked. Also locked bootloader using BootUnlocker app.
Got some piece of mind and I also hope this will ease up my ORD a bit
I may easily restore my backed up custom recovery using flashify if I ever need to update ROM or whatever...

Here you are, just flash it using fastboot using this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thanks! It's the one for 4.3 right?
And if I want to install a custom rom, and make a twrp backup. Can I then go back to restore the backup and then just flash this recovery in fastboot to get the OTA?

Yes, yes and yes.
You can use Flashify to make a backup, restore and flash.
Remember you can only flash 3 times a day unless you pay for the full version.

No I mean making a backup in twrp, install a custom rom. New version of android comes out: (let's say 5.0 because updating CM for example from 4.3. to 4.3.1 isnt that hard I think), just restore the backup and flash this recovery in fastboot. (without flashify)
Then I will get the OTA?

Ok thanks (I ran out of thanks for today)
I think I am going to stay with this TWRP for a while (actually I want CM official nightlies back) and will try this method when KLP comes out. I think I will have my pc back then and will be able to pull the recovery of the image then and I will post if it worked or not!
thank you for your effort mate!

I decided to flash the stock recovery anyway. So now I am fully stock and will get future OTA updates? I actually like the stock rom, but will maybe fllash CM10.2 if nemesis comes with some cool stuff.
Thanks for pulling it for me!
I can not get stock recovery for 4.3 stock to install. I try wugfresh and ncry. Can someone help me?

Have you tried doing it the manual way? Using fastboot. The command is pretty simple as long as you have actually have the recovery file.I believe its fastboot flash recovery name of recovery.img.
There is probably a walk through in the forum.
Hello wonderful XDA Peoples. I am planning on returning my Nexus 4 in the near future as part of T-Mobile Jump. I'm currently on a stock ROM; but unlocked with CWM recovery installed.
To return to stock, would I need to fastboot the entire stalk image (via flash all.bat) or would I just need to flash the stock recovery image, then relock the boot loader? Thanks guys! Keep up the absolutely spectacular work.

You could just flash the recovery.img and then re-lock it

on the nexus 4 rom,kernel .... index there is a stock recovery flasher, if you dont wanna use the pc
if you have root you can lock bootloader via an app
or else just via pc.
n-cry toolkit
With n-cry toolkit is posbly.
