I need a lot of help with my Nexus. I have been trying my best to root it but it won't work using the Nexus Root Toolkit. So I decided to go try rooting it manually. When I did that the same problem was coming up which is it wouldn't let me flash anything on the device to give me root access. I decided to follow a guide to bring the version down to an older version and start over from there which I tried doing manually using windows command prompts. It told me to erse boot, cache, recovery, system, and then to flash the downloaded bootloader and version of android. When I got to the point where I had to flash the new bootloader my device froze while my computer was sending the file over which is what it did every time I tried to flash or send a file to the device using fastboot. I paniced and tried again using the Root Toolkit. It wasn't working either. Now my device is saying 'Booting Failed' which I assume is because of the fastboot erasing commands I did before. I am panicing because the new bootloader is still not sending over and I've been waiting for the past 10 minutes. The file size is only (2072 KB), I don't think it should be taking this long. Can anyone help me please?

That's the guide I used to try and fix the first problem.

So here is my dilemma. I was having problems with my Google apps for whatever reason. Manually updated to 4.2 and still has the same problems. Did a factory reset and the problems went away. Decided I wanted to get rid of root and relock the bootloader since I'm going to give her thus one because I'm upgrading to the 32GB model. Wanted to get rid of the superuser icon in the app drawer mainly. I went to googles site and downloaded the factory images for 4.2. Used it in conjunction with the nexus 7 toolkit. Long story short for whatever reason the process didn't complete. Pretty sure I don't have a factory image at all at this point. I tried to use the nexus 7 toolkit but of course now it won't see my device. My tablet is still unlocked. I'm assuming I'm going to have to manually push the image to the phone. If any body can start me off in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. Especially if someone were able to provide links to the info I may need. In the mean time I'm looking around on Google. Haven't found anything concrete yet. As a side note if anyone could tell me how to actually turn off the tablet do I can preserve the battery it would be appreciated. I can only get it to show fast boot mode or the Google screen. Can't power down.

Nexus 7 toolkit?
Fastboot mode?
That's all you need.

Dunno... after trying to update yesterday, twrp, cwm, stock wasn't having it, had to put stock boot loader back on, everything wiped, not a problem....nandroid backup....toolkit shows it working but nothing, toolkit said everything was there....only unlock and root worked, everything else was borked.
And I had to use Windows for the tool kit. Doh.
Toolkit has been a bane for me, finally got 4.2 using root keeper.
Off-topic.... maybe.
Lesson learnt... definitely.
Motorola Atrix (AOKP JB)
Nexus 7 (Stock+ Root)
Desire HD ~ overheating rebooting.
N900 ~ usb broken off.

Can't use the toolkit bcuz it doesn't see my device. Can't enable USB debugging. Unless there is a way around that?

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

Thanks. I'll be doing this later. I'll let you know what happens. Will it put more on the 4.2.1 or 4.2.2? I really screwed up and didn't understand the op.

Ok. Can you post a link for the package for my device? Its a WiFi nexus 7. I can't find the toolkit. I'm so lost. I'm laughing at myself. You have to admit. It's funny when someone does something this stupid.

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

I'd like to say thank you for everyone he contributed for helping me do this. I followed the directions using the Nexus 7 toolkit and everything went well. I installed jelly bean 4.2 .1 and now I will use voodoo OT a route keeper in order to accept the update to 4.2 .2

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.
Just get my nexus, i unlock it root it and try to install twrp through nexus 4 toolkit...when im on flashboot i choose reboot recovery but nothing happens...also i notice that i have a bootloader* version mako10o ( i see only 10i and 10I exists correct me if im wrong)
Edit: somehow with nexus root toolkit i manage to flash it..even with some difficulties....
so anyone else has this bootloader?i have the nipples and the smaller "hole" in the back camera too!!
Don't use a toolkit and learn to do it all manually
I know who to make it manually even than from my old phone its a bit different..but i unlock,root,change recovery in 1st hour the phone came...
You probably types the wrong command or didn't place the file in the right place.
Anyways, you can just flash twrp using the too manager app from the play store.
