So here's the issue. I factory reset my rooted Nexus 7 and when it turned back on it wouldn't connect to my open wi-fi network. I can't go into settings and turn on USB debugging either. The only thing I changed was the browserproxyprovider.odex What can I do?
- I do have a CWM backup but again USB debugging isn't on after the factory reset...
- I can go into recovery mode
- Would that help at all? (See attachment)
Don't mess with odex files directly. Since your using a toolkit, don't mess with them period.
Reflash ROM, wipe data/factory reset in CWM or flash stock image from Google and start over.

fixed. thanks
I have a Google Nexus 4, bought direct from Google, I rooted it and it was working well for a while. Then the battery started draining super fast. A friend recommended resetting, so I did and it seemed to fix it for a while. Then the battery issue came up again, so I reset again, expecting the same outcome....however, I wiped the phone completely. It turns on and displays Google, and that's it.. My computer does not recognize the phone when I plug it in, and I cannot get the USB Debugging to even be an option. Every resolution I have found for this situation needs me to enable the USB Debugging mode. Is there any other way to get all the OS files back on this phone or is it bricked?
When I plug it into the PC it tells me to look up drivers, and this is how it sees my phone: Unidentified Device USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3000&REV_0200.
It isn't recognized as a phone at all. It tells me to download Atheros Drivers.
I have searched for days trying to find the solution to this. Any help would be so very appreciated by this noob
Did you try to manually delete drivers from the device manager? Ticking the option that permanently delete the driver from PC.
And after doing this...trying Windows Update for driver installation?
PS: also try to manually flash with Fastboot all the latest Factory Image from Google....

Yes, I've done that, there are currently no drivers on my PC. When the phone is plugged into the PC, it tells me to find drivers because it is an unrecognized device.

Hold volume up/down and power until it reboots into boot loader mode. Download the factory images from the Google website (search nexus stock images on Google) and plug your phone into the computer and use fastboot to flash the OS back.
Rember, as long as you can get the phone to turn on you can fix whatever other issue your having providing its software related.
To fastboot flash,
You need the android SDK, use Google to figure out how to install it but its not hard.
Run the flash-all bat found in the archive file you downloaded, or manullay flash each partition like this.

Download the toolkit and install the drivers
Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.944 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
yea download Google Nexus 4 ToolKit install drivers then you can factory restore using the toolkit to restore
i think i chose option 9 and it downloaded the need restore image
Tried it all
I have tried all those ideas and all have failed. I can never get the computer to see my device. All it says is unknown device. When I click update drivers and direct it to the sdk driver I download it still gives me no connection through fastboot or adb. I have tried selecting various general Android drivers through the update drivers screen, Found some from Google Inc. that specify Nexus 4 bootloader interface and adb interface. Nothing is working. I think I need to have a working Nexus 4 to install to correct drivers first and then I might be able to piggy back off those and use my phone to flash through fastboot or push adb. I have worked with both command lines with reasonable success before rooting samsung tablets and phones and htc's. I am familiar with the process and have read numerous ideas none of which seem to work in this case. Made it all the way to Google search page 12. Anyone know a way to force install the Nexus 4 drivers without having a working phone present? I am thinking I just need to go buy a new one and return it after I plug it in to install drivers. Don't want to have to pay the re-stock fee though. Any other ideas are very welcome.
And I have tried to use the toolkit as well and it does nothing either. I have the stock rom ready to go just need a way to get it onto the phone.
I have NexusRootToolkit and Fastboot/ADB thing from Google so i can restore and push things on my phone.
It was all great i even pushed 4.3 on my N4 when factory image came out.
So today my friend came to me to update his ROMed N4 to 4.3 and root it.
I did Fastboot thing it went perfect now i wanted to root it again via fastboot(flash twrp.img) suddenly Command Prompt said "Waiting for device to respond" so we waited and waited nothing happend.
I did tryed again but nothing.
Tryed to reinstall everything i could but nothing would help.
Now windows wont find his and my Nexus 4 as Media USB device.
I tryed everything from deinstalling USB drivers that reasambles Nexus nothing helped.
HELP!!!
Afaik the mskip toolkit still doesn't support 4.3
So from the toolkit you are not able to bring the device to fastboot. But you can start the phone to fastboot manually :
- turn off the phone
- press vol minus plus the poee button together
Then the phone should start in fast boot.
At this point with the toolkit you should be able to do almost every thing.

Try connecting your device to an other USB port.

Problem fixed!
I tryed other methods but i ended reinstalling Windows to fix problem.
I was trying to return to stock with Wugs Root Toolkit and accidentally unplugged in the middle. Now I'm stuck on I think fastboot with no options. Tried to run Wugs again but now I keep getting "ADB device was not found."
That will teack me to mess with my daughters Nexus....
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Wifi version.
My Nexus is showing the Android laying on his back - Trying Start or Recovery Mode does not work.
Edit - figured out in Wugs that I need to check "soft Brick" then it uses fastboot instead of ADB. But it still isn't working. I tried to fastboot factory image but no luck.
Edit - Solved - I tried 2 of my USB port, both got the same error. When I usb my USB port where my mouse is usually pugged in it worked.
Good job! Glad you figured it out.

I have been searching for hours/days, can not find a solution. I recently unrooted my Nexus 7, 2012 WIFI to download and try the new stock Lollipop 5.0 . I found out the the 5.0 was too buggy and kept freezing up my Nexus. I decided to revert back to 4.4 using the nexus toolkit (as I have many times in the past) and in the process lost my recovery option while in bootloader mode (was on a friends pc and had loose USB cable). Because I can not access the system to enable USB debugging. I am now on my own PC using a good USB cable I cant get ADB to recognize the Nexus. I have tried many drivers. I am thinking this is considered a hard brick scenario. When I do a reboot in bootloader mode, I get gray screen. When I try using recovery, I get dead droid with upside down triangle. Any help would be appreciated. I am not a rookie at this but also not a pro so I need help.
Remember, I do not have USB debugging enabled, nor can I boot up to access dev options. I can go into bootloader and adb modes but can not get adb or nexus toolkit to recognize. Thanks
Anyone?
