How to flash factory nexus 4 image through fastboot?

I need to flash the stock image as I can't update to newest build after deleting some Google apps. Anyone know the procedure if I wanna flash it through fast boot?

You can try searching for it yourself... There is the nexus 4 toolkit which is pretty easy

fastboot flash system system.img

Please don't use the toolkit.

Does 4.2.2 ota break root?

Said something about unsigned or unverified from cwm recovery. Aborted now I'm curious what to do next.

Yes it does, I'm currently having this problem... Rooted, updated ota and now root is gone and not sure what to do

Guess I'll wait till I get home so I can root again. Thanks

I just used the toolkit to root again afterwards.

Toolkit option 4?

Yes. However, mine is the donate version, so I'm not sure if that will make a difference. You might want to check out the thread first.

Why not just fastboot flash your recovery and then use that to flash your su zip?

Factory image as a zip file?

So someone packaged CWM up into a flashable zip, but is it also possible to make the whole factory image from google into a flashable zip, so you have the whole stock ROM and stock recovery, by flashing it in CWM?

Stock recovery?

Is there any flashable stock 4.3 recovery image available? (I want to update to JWR66Y and need the stock recovery to upgrade)

Phone not booting after stock flash

Having a bit of bother getting my nexus up and running again. Pulled my phone out my pocket and it was turned off. Powered it on but it wouldn't get past Google screen. No twrp recovery. Nothing. So done the usual and get nexus toolkit out. Re locked and unlocked bootloader. Downloaded stock 4.2.2 flashed it but still stuck at Google screen. Can get in to fast boot but that's it.
Any help appreciated because I'm not sure what to do next
Cheers
Steven

Try going into fastboot, and flashing stock with the official firmware from google (Type Nexus stock on Google). If you want to, you can even replace the recovery.img inside the zip for a custom recovery

Been installing stock from fastboot but can't get into recovery to wipe it so that it will boot.
What program can I use to compress tgz files. I've changed the recovery to twrp but not sure how to pack it up again

When I flash stock with nexus 4 toolkit it comes up archive doesn't contain boot.sig recovery.sig or system.sig. Why is this?

If you know how to use the ADB and the fastboot command, that is the way to go. It is by far the best way to go. Use one of the guides on this website, don't have the direct link but look for efrants guide for returning back to stock. Search isn't working now
