Was running CM10.1 stable and encrypted my phone. Hated the performance problems, went to roll back and factory reset did not work in either Android or CWM. Since everything was encrypted I had to reformat /system, /cache, and /sdcard. CWM and fastboot work just fine, but I still can't mount /sdcard :/. Should I sideload a rom or what? How do I get my device fully working again?

Since you have all ready wiped everything, I would just go ahead and flash the system image and start over

well I loaded up the toolkit so I could easily flash 4.2.2 stock. It wouldn't have been much of a problem but my phone is my alarm and I'm not home so I'm working with very limited resources. so it's fixed now by using the toolkit and flashing stock.
thanks for the reply

I'm starting to really feel displeased about not having an external memory slot. My phone is entirely wiped. While in recovery, EVERYTHING was wiped. The custom recovery is still there, but when booting up the phone, it's stuck on the Google logo. Is there fix? When I plug it into my PC, I can't move filed to the phone for the recovery to flash a rom. I've tried using option 9 in the Toolkit, but it doesn't work.
Fast boot the stock image.

You can use adb sideload if your custom recovery supports it to push a stock ROM and jump off from that point. The stock images are still gone, for what ever reason, so there's no way right now to officially jump back to stock.

Yes, it does support it. Not sure how it works exatl. I guess I should finally install the SDK lol.
So what did you wipe in recovery to achieve this?
Someone will come along with the stock images if you keep bumping long enough.

Put your phone in to fastboot mode (hold down both volume buttons while you turn it on).
Stock 4.2.1 image; flash that with This.

Well I think I found the Stock 4.2.1 ROM deodexed, I was going to try and flash this in the meantime. I tried fastboot flash RomName.zip but it's a nogo. And I wipsed data/factory reset, cache partition, dilvik cache, and system and SD card.

Oh wow, it seems your stock rom was the key. I've tried that toolkit before, and it never worked with the stock rom it supplies, but for some reason I replaced it with the one you supplied and it seems to be going through now. Flashing as I type this, keeping fingers crossed.
EDIT: FIXED! YAY! I thanked you all for your input. I'm very greatful.
For future reference never wipe /system in recovery.
As the title says... i just formated my ****ing whole system
wanted to change roms and used this crazy complete cleanup script
didnt know that it would format EVERYTHING
so now im standing here with a phone with only a twrp recovery... no system no backups ... nothing
i somehow need to push a rom to my device and install it
problem is im totally blank when it comes to these adb shell things
could someone give me an advice how to get a file to my phone?
nexus toolkit doesnt work
So, assuming you can mount to your computer, download a ROM. Try the chemistry ROM? Or the stock rooted one. Whichever. Got to recovery, find the ROM and install it.
This is assuming you can mount with twrp. (Its in mounts)
In front of a live studio audience
If it won't mount, use adb to push the zip(s) to your internal storage.
it does not mount... and i somehow cant get adb to work
Try adb side load in twrp
Edit: its in the advanced menu.

Wow. Worst advice ever.
Next time, do a factory reset and wipe system. That'll do you and keep you from having those little issues that are caused by doing dirty flashes. Sometimes they work just fine. Others, they give you hell. It's one thing if you're upgrading between builds of the same ROM. Even then, though, it's a risk.

That's like saying never ever drive because if you steer into a pole, it's bad. Don't steer into things and it's fine. If the OP learns to correctly wipe, this won't be an issue ever again.

I wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, then wipe system every time I change Roms. I've done this for years on every android I've had and never had a problem. Don't wipe internal storage though.

On what? If I wipe data on TWRP I lose everything on SD. Wiping system wipes the system partition. There are many reasons I don't use CWM, poor backup locations and inefficient menu layouts are among them. If wiping system wipes the SD, I'll add that to the list.
TWRP all the way! Way better than CWM in my opinion.

Agreed. I would sacrifice an infant to get 4EXT Recovery Touch on thus baby. It has a "Format all partitions (except SD card)" option that is amazeballs.
ive done this before. to fix it you need to download the stock google nexus 4 image. google has taken it down from its webste but there are people here in the forums who have uploaded it to help and have other people download it.
now download and install the nexus 4 root tool kit
to fix your phone your are going to put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your pc.
then open up the nexus 4 root tool kit program.
next find the google nexus 4 toolkit folder and go into it. (mine saved in my local disk C)
go into the "put google factory image here" folder and drop the google factory image in there.
once thats done go back into the nexus 4 root toolkit program and press number 9 (download, Extract + flash Facotry image"
since you already downloaded it and put it in the factory image folder you're going to click option number 2 (flash google image)
then type yes and let it do its thing
make sure that the factory image that you download is in a .tgz or .tar file or else it wont work
I hope that helps!!!!
I have no explanation of what has happened to my n7. It shut off by itself and just bootloops when I try to turn back on. I can get into recovery and I have a nandroid backup of a stock rom. Everytime I restore it restores system and then fails?? I flashed 3 different roms and all r flashed successfully but I get the same bootloops . I was using latest twrp and was get error I/o data / speedtest. Something else but I flashed cwm touch b4 I could jot down the errors . I figured it was twrp bug and didnt realize I wouldnt b able to flash back to twrp do to using gooim to write the image in the first place. I am desperate to find out what happened and I wont b near a pc for a few days. I have an unlocked rooted grouper version . I have read and searched b4 posting

Yes I wiped system /cache/dalvik/ and factory reset I did them all like 5 times each and flashed a brand new rom. Its so weird
Nothing works. I am always prepared for atuff like this with multiple nandroids cwm/twrp but they both fail to restore

Back in a few months ago I'm faced with that problem once, tried everything like factory reset, format system/data/cache/sd, install new ROM and also tried to restore by nandroid backup (that used to work fine before that problem occur) but non of these solutions work.
Finally I've to use fastboot to flash it to 4.1.2 (to format and re-partition the device) and flash it back to 4.2.2 and then it work fine again even with many custom rom and kernel installed to my N7 very frequent and today it still work just fine.

2 days ago i flashed android 4.3 on my nexus 7, after using it for a while i noticed that the total space is 6.02 gb on my 32gb model.
i looked for this problem online and found someone who the same thing happened to him while flashing 4.2.2.
the answer was to wipe everything, data and internal storage. so i did it and the same problem repeated , i flashed android 4.2.2 back but the same thing happened. how can i solve it?
Follow the instructions in this thread, post #10. It will fix you right up. It is the proper commands to flash through fastboot that will get the memory right.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776860
Of course, change the bootloader and system image versions to correspond to the 4.3 values. Eg 4.23.

Actually, it wont. It is an issue that can happen when fastboot incorrectly formats the system and gives it the wrong size, making the remaining unusable. Recovery will read it incorrectly also, and only format the space marked as useable. Re-doing by using the correct fastboot commands is really the only way to get the whole thing back to useable and active.

Yes it will as this has happened to me on several occasions after flashing 4.2.2 and 4.3. Reformatting reliably corrected it each time.

Flash the recovery from the factory image, boot in it and do a factory reset
Hey guys, I was going about trying to flash a rom and accidentally erased system and then tried to flash a corrupted rom. Obviously I ended up with no OS and no way of sending a file over to the internal storage. I tried all the Nexus 4 stock restore, all utilities. Everything.
Nothing has worked. I can flash the recovery easily but no way of getting a rom onto the internal and if I boot into OS, it will Loop the X symbol.

The strange part is, Fastboot works perfect. Only issue is with the Stock rom boot-looping on the X. And the kernel is stock. Is there software that will completely bomb the phone and revert it back to complete stock?
