[Q] Can't boot. Stuck on Google logo

Hi,
I really need some help on this one. I wiped everything using TWRP recovery in preparation of installing a custom ROM.
I then realised I forgot to transfer the custom rom to my phone! When I went to reboot the system it says "No OS installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?"
No it's stuck on the google logo.
Is there a way to see if any Rom is still installed on on my phone or if it deleted my stock rom also?
I tried to push the rom through adb but it says error read only.
Also USB debugging is not enabled but I can't boot to enable it.
Please help.
Thanks

Go into fastboot and ensure your fastboot devices command shows your s/n. If so then grab the stock image from xda and flash it.
fastboot flash bootloader BOOTLOADERNAME.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio RADIONAME.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update IMAGENAME.zip
Alternatively, using ADB.
from command prompt: adb remount
adb push <FILE PATH> /sdcard/0/
Boot into recovery (I use CWM) and then install it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I managed to solve it by using the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
It's all in fastboot so I had no problems
Problem solved.

adb doesn´t see N4 in recovery

Hi, these days I adb sideloaded android 4.3 on my Nexus 4. adb worked like a charm at this time. Now I wanted to root my phone (til now the phone was on stock recovery), but since 4.3 the device is not recognized by adb anymore when in stock recovery mode. So something changed during the update and i can´t communicate with my device anymore in recovery. I know that there is a similar thread on this topic, but my computer runs Archlinux 64-bit, therefore I started this new topic.
I would be happy if you could help me rooting my device.

You need to flash a new recovery in fastboot mode first, then flash the SU package

Thank you for your answer. The problem is that the bootloader is still locked, so I wanted to open it with adb first.

If you unlock it and flash a custom recovery straight away before rebooting you shouldn't lose any data

But thats the problem, I can´t open the bootloader because adb doesn´t recognize my device when it is in recovery mode, but only when booting it up normally. So I can´t open the bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
EDIT: I was able to open the bootloader with fastboot instead of adb. Everthing went fine and I`m rooted now. Thank you for your help.

That's what I said in the first place, you can only unlock using fastboot

I've found a driver that works fine for me on another XDA thread...
download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6 .msi
I'm on win8 and i was having the same trouble with ADB in recovery, after installing these, no problem!

Thank you for your answer. I´m sorry for the misunderstanding, but everything works like a charm now.

[Q] Rom missing

So while i was rooting some stuff went wrong and now i have clockwork mod recovery on my nexus 4 and an unlocked boot loader but no ROM it appears like. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. I cannot access it on ADB (it doesn't appear as a device) and I can't access the files through windows. Also I was able to reboot the device into the bootloader using the fastboot command, I'm thinking I may be able to flash the stock rom with the fastboot command.

Did you try "adb push"?
Anyhow, download the stock image and flash it through fastboot.

Same with me...i am just gonna go and fix the display...

Hi,
Download the rom you previously had to your computer if you didn't have it, extract the zip, boot the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your PC.
In the extracted zip, there should be a boot.img file. From a computer terminal where fastboot is present, do:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The easiest is if you copy the boot.img file to the folder where fastboot.exe (if windows) resides and then run the command above.
Then reboot the phone again and it should boot just fine again.

But OP stated their bootloader was locked.
If TWRP is still also installed on your actual recovery partition (so that you can still boot it after the next step), you can just adb sideload <ROM.zip> while TWRP is booted and you are connected to a PC to reinstall a ROM along with it's boot partition.
Another thing you could do if you have the boot.img is to boot TWRP, copy the file to your phone and then on your PC run
adb shell dd of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot if=/sdcard/boot.img
Good luck for everyone who still needed this after a year
