It said success but it won't boot passed Google and If I try to restore PA it says failed and now I have no rom to flash to boot up and also I can't turn on debug to use ADB.

i'm not on twrp at the moment but you may be able to try this
you may also try the nexus toolkit

Nexus 4 toolkit says device not found when trying to push file to device. It shows serial under fastboot mode but not ADB Mode. Is that because I can't turn on debug?

hmm... can you try setting the current status to "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and do the Flash Stock + Unroot? might be able to get you back to square one.
if you can get into twrp you might be able to run adb commands from the recovery even if you didnt have it enabled before using the toolkit.

That might work, how do I set the current status to "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and do the Flash Stock + Unroot?

On the main screen of the nexus tool kit there is a radio button option you can click for it.

not sure what you're trying to do, but if you just want to get the device up and running again..
- Download recovery with sideload
- Go into fastboot
- Use CMD to navigate to your Nexus Toolkit folder,
- Execute " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ", assuming the image you downloaded was renamed to recovery
- Go into recovery, choose flash with sideload
- Back to CMD, type "adb-toolkit sideload *zipnamehere.zip*" , assuming your adb is named adb-toolkit
reboot, profit.

It says fastboot is not recognized as an internal command

In twrp, it keeps saying starting adb sideload feature

i posted this in another thread. try this...
1. First make sure that you have fastboot driver installed.
2. Power down your Nexus 4 (hold the power button until it shuts off) before rebooting into fastboot mode. You can do this by holding down the the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously.
3. Connect your device to your computer. Open up a terminal or command prompt, and navigate to the folder containing the fastboot program.
4. Type fastboot devices into the command line, and you should then see your device’s ID, which means fastboot is setup correctly. if not, check to make sure Google Nexus 4 drivers are installed correctly.
5. now open Nexus 4 toolkit and Flash Google Factory stock Rom. Once you are back to stock continue on from there...
Good Luck!

my bad, it's fastboot-toolkit. But since you have a recovery with sideload already, just download a rom that's working, put it in your nexus 4 toolkit folder, rename it to flash.zip, and type in CMD
"adb-toolkit sideload flash.zip"

Thank you all for your help. What I had to end up doing was extracting the factory image and flash boot, system, and use data IMG files manually with nexus 4 toolkit. My Nexus 4 is alive. Again thank you all very much

[Q] Unable to Boot, Unable to mount sd, brick?

Hi,
i unrooted, unlocked and installes cwn via nexus 7 utility tool 4.0 and flashed the stock 4.2.1 rom. after reboot the nexus 7 get stuck in the bootloader. if i try to boot via"start" button it says "unable to boot" in the upper left corner. booting into bootloader mode works. booting into recovery mode works too, but the nexus 7 is unable to mount the sd card, the cache and so on. i tryed to reflash the stockrom with the nexus tool but when it says"all done, the nexus will now reboot" nothing happen. i tryed to reflash stock rom with the instruction in this section with adb and fastboot. it get stuck after giving the first command to reboot into fastboot. what can i do to get the nexus to work?

Have you tried the sideload command? Select 'install zip from sideload' when connected to your computer, and from cmd on your computer type adb sideload rom-name.zip

You have unlocked your bootloader with your Computer right?? so the drivers is working fine..
If you can get into bootloader you just need to extract the ROM, and run flash-all.xx

are you trying to run fastboot while in your phones recovery or bootloader?

You don't flash stock google firmware using recovery, you flash it using fastboot while the device is on bootloader mode.

I've installed the driver and want to flash it using fastboot. but cmd says "is not recognize".

then it seems that the driver isnt installed properly(or in the right location), fastboot wouldnt see your device then.

Try to delete all drivers that you installed, or Windows installed, and download and install this driver. Probably it'll work..

System wiped, Only stock recovery left.

I was trying to install a custom ROM in my moto g5 plus so I flashed twrp and then removed my system and data completely, after that, by mistake I flashed the stock recovery. Now I'm left with stock recovery only and no system or OS. What can I do?

Nexus 7 2012 WiFi Hard Bricked or Soft Bricked?

Hello everyone, I would need to understand if my Nexus 7 2012 WiFi is definitely Hard Bricked or not.
The other day I installed Slimkat ROM and had the error 7 during installation...
I like it better: In Nexus it's root and it unlock with the Recovery CWM, which start with the sequence of Volume Down- Power On keys. I have done the wrong not to do before installing a backup with the Recovery CWM and now I am in the situation of having the Nexus that normally light up on the Google logo and if I start shooting, it is not copied on the sdcard the right ROM, unable to install anything. I seem to have read that I had installed the TWPR Recovery instead of an external USB with an OTG cable, which is impossible with the CWM.
This is my question: Is there any way to copy files to the SDCard? If I don't see the Nexus in ADB, can I install TWRP Recovery up the CWM? (for use the USB/OTG performance)
Thanks for the help and congratulations for the forum ...

Hard to understand you actually... but boot to bootloader and fastboot flash the TWRP, use MTP to copy over what you need to flash and go ahead, in case you never used fastboot check Google there're plenty of guides out there, good luck...

Thank you so much for your answer. But I installed CWM Recovery and I can not access to Nexus in fastboot or adb, so I can not install the Recovery TWRP. I've tried both with MAC OSX and Windows, but the Nexus is not seen by the system. Exist an alternative method for flashing the recovery TWRP without using fastboot or adb?

Bootloader is not Recovery nore ADB, it's independent from those!
Boot up by holding power & volume down till you have the bootloader screen (picture attached), if you see it plug it in your (windows) computer and check "fastboot devices", there then fastboot flash TWRP image...

Yes, with another Nexus 7, if I connect it to pc, the device is show in section device list of pc. I think the problem is that this Bricked Nexus in fastboot not start the usb driver...
