Yes, dirty flash the rom in the link ^. Do not wipe data and if your recovery asks to fix root, choose no. Just wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

If you'd like a second option, you can also do it manually.
1) Download the factory image from Google's developer site.
2) Unzip the contents of the zip. It'll give you 4 .img files: System, Boot, Recovery, and Userdata.
3) Using fastboot, flash all the files except userdata (that's the one that erases all your stuff).
4) re-root the device.
Enjoy!
thanks a lot guys

It feels like I've done everything, and now I come for help.
Right now I'm flashing the stock ROM back onto my N7 for the 5th time because every time I try to flash PA it seems to get stuck in a boot loop. And this somehow corrupts my recovery so I have to go all the way back and start from scratch.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong:
I start with an out of the box N7.
I unlocked the boot loader.
Root my device.
Flash CWM 6.0.1.0 recovery.
Download busybox from Google Play and install it.
Copy PA's ROM to my /sdcard.
reboot to recovery.
Flash the PA rom.
Bootloops ensue, recovery corrupts, and I'm back to square one.
I've been at this for hours trying different ways of doing it, but need some help. Am I forgetting anything?
Did you full-wipe?
Happened to me last time, from stock to other custom ROM(cm10), also caused bootloop but resolved after doing full-wipe.

Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, install rom, flash gapps and reboot.

defintely just need to wipe
Hold down power and volume +/- at boot. Use volume down to select recovery, hit power as enter. Select factory data reset. Might as well wipe cache while you are in there.
All set

This. Always wipe cache and dalvik. And if it's your first time with that particular ROM, do a full wipe as well.

do the following:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot -w update stockRom.zip (The zip is inside the.tar.gz and has a different name)
Thanks everyone! Apparently I was clearing all those items wrong, because I was clearing them. Different work until I tried after your suggestions. Must be something in the XDA air.
Take care, thanks buttons have been pressed.

Hello,
I had AOKP ROM. Now, new build of slimbean was released so I want to flash slimbean. I flashed it but I found a lot of folders and files from AOKP in storage (yes, I did wipe - format via TWRP). How can I format storage and then flash slimbean please? I want to delete all from my nexus 4.
Thank you
Factory reset in twrp won't delete the contents of your internal sdcard. Use the format data option to do this. Keep in mind this is not necessary to do when switching ROMs.

Already used format in TWRP. Used Nexus 4 ToolKit for flashing stock ROM, then I used Nexus Root Toolkit for root and now I'm flashing new slimbean via TWRP. Hope, all will works fine.
I know, it's not necessary but I don't like files from other ROMS in storage
I am currently using CM 10.1, But I would like to use the PAC-MAN rom, How would I Change my rom without losing my data (pictures, text messages, installed apps). A step by step instruction would be nice.
You have some recovery installed? BTW you can do that but when you change ROM all wipe is recommended.

DL ROM and gapps place in a folder where you can access it ez with ur recovery.
1. Boot in recovery
2. Factory reset
3.wipe cache and dalvik cache
4. Flash ROM and then gapps
5.reboot recovery/system and then phone
Then DL boot loader for 4.3 and radio, reboot in recovery wipe only caches flash the 2 zip folders(radio, boot loader) and reboot
( BTW u won't loose ur personal files, only text messages and app will be gone)

I don't have any rom flashed, just a working bootloader and TWRP 2.6.3.1.
Everytime I try to flash a rom (through adb or fastboot update) it doesn't work cause of the error:
"Unable to mount /system".
How do I solve it? (BTW: TWRP asks for a password everytime it gets started, but I've never set one...).
I really need help...
still in the need of help..
Have u tried to reflash twrp or use mskip or wug toolkit to recover factory image.

Yup, but mskip not.
Try fastboot erase system or fastboot format system. You may also want to wipe data to remove the nonexistent password. Note that I mean wipe /data, not just a factory reset.

Fastboot erase system was successful, unlike wiping /data because it's "Unable to wipe /system"...
EDIT:
Flashed CWM and flashed a rom through adb sideload, but I think without your help (fastboot erase system) it wouldn't be successful, THANKS!
EDIT:
New rom (and Android version), old problem. The reason why I didn't have any rom installed was because I wasn't able to turn Wifi on..aaaaand I'm still not able to turn it on.

What is the name of the ROM zip you flashed, and did you flash a custom kernel?

Vanir, latest 4.3 version. I didn't flash any kernel, just the rom.
Hi, So the Android 5.1 OTA is finally available for N4, I'm rooted with custom recovery and was wondering how can I flash the OTA?
I know a way which I should unroot and install stock recovery, but other than this is there any way?
Backup data, Wipe factory data and flash OTA update from custom recovery.

You can't flash an ota in a custom recovery. You can only flash it by sideloading in the stock recovery.
PO, you have to be 100 % stock, system, kernel and recovery to flash the ota. It's just as easy to flash the 5.1 factory image.

I always just flash the factory image. As jd1639 says, it's just as easy. And you don't have to go to the trouble of returning to stock. Just make sure you don't wipe out your data, unless that's what you want to do.
so to flash ota i would neet to loose data and go to stock right?
is there factory image i could use without going to stock then? Thanks

If you're on 5.0.1, flash the system, boot, and recovery images with fastboot from it. Boot into recovery and sideload the ota with adb. You shouldn't lose any data. Then re-Root.
