I can't update twrp past 2.3 to flash KitKat if I flash via terminal I get error 1 and goomanager is just being weird.
Here's the catch though. I cant plug it into a PC as it won't read it. So I can't do fastboot or adb.

Well the best way to flash a recovery is with fastboot so I highly recommend to figure out your issue with PC not recognizing phone. Are you using windows or Linux?

Try Flashify. Download the recovery.img and flash it to the recovery partition.

Maybe this will help load the proper drivers for windows or rules for Linux, sorry I stay away from apple so can't help there.
Unless its a hardware issue it should be easy to fix.
Otherwise you will need to add the flash binary to your ROM to use terminal emulator, supposing the command you enter are correct

Please help me. I recently unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 and then installed Glazed Jellybean. The ROM was fine apart from borders on the homescreen so I attempted to replace this launcher with the stock launcher from a Nandroid backup using Titanium Backup. Long story short I now have a device that won't go past the boot animation, and to further complicate matters:
1) I believe a general bug on the Nexus 7 is that you can't boot straight into recovery from the bootloader. I have this issue.
2) I cannot boot up to use Rom Manager to get to recovery that way, to reflash the ROM
3) I did not enable USB debugging within the new ROM before this happened so I can't use ADB commands to get to recovery
What can I do? Have I managed to brick an almost unbrickable device.
Please, please, please help me???

I am pretty sure that the bootloader has adb access in it, so try adb while in the bootloader.

Did you ever have adb working? Just checking

Thanks for the replies but I posted too soon. I have it all sorted now having pushed a stock image in fastboot. Didn't realise fastboot worked independently of adb.
Boot loop is not as scary as f up the bootloader or recovery

Hi there, I'm currently rooted with 4.2.2 and I want to upgrade to the latest which I believe is 4.4.2, after a brief check I don't see the toolkits supporting this so can someone give me a clue on what to do? Is it upgrade to 4.3 then 4.4 and finally 4.4.2 or can I just jump from my current to 4.4.2?

If your on stock ROM and kernel and recovery just check for updates under about tablet system updates. If your running a custom ROM or kernel then you'll want to get to stock first. Also you can just download the factory image and adb flash it. Just search how to install 4.4,2 factory image with adb on nexus 10. There's plenty of guides.

Just update and root again. It takes a minute using one of the toolkits. Or you can just flash the super su zip which is even quicker if you have a custom recovery. Either way it's easy and quick

I can't use system updates, it won't restart after counting down from 10 it just hangs there. I also don't think the toolkits have 4.4.2, I'm pretty sure I downloaded the right files, I just don't know the commands to use in CMD.

Wugs toolkit has it.
Extract it and put it in the correct folder with Fastboot capabilities and use the commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this'll give you stock recovery)
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (only do this one if you want to completely reset and delete everything on your internal SD card. Don't do this step of you want to keep your files like pictures and music on SD card)
Sent from my white LG Nexus 5
Okay, going to try Wugs. Ah, I'm mistaken then, I just have the factory image and update superSU zip files.
See this is what I don't get, it asks me my build, which is 4.2.2. And then asks to download the image, but I want 4.4.2 so do o just change it to that?

Yeah. Choose 4.4.2. Asking your build is just so when you flash kernnel and recoveries it flashes a compatible one. But since your just flashing stock images. Just do that. But again remember it'll wipe everything so backup your SD card to a computer first

I managed to get to the point where it boots TWRP and then just had "waiting for device"
Edit: got to this same point 3 times now, tried rebooting but I'm still on 4.2.2, could you tell me what files I need to go ahead and flash it using cmd?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
If you use Wigs toolkit you can flash the new update if you do a complete restore with in root. Then you can re root. Just go to flash stock + unroot then click the images drop down down box. Pick the mantaray-manta : android 4.4.4- build KOT49H then click the button that shows automatically download. After install re root and restore. Backup everything first it makes a quicker restore.

First, go download the image:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
While that is downloading, make a new folder on the desktop and name it FLASH, also for extracting the file once it is downloaded I reccomend total commander:
http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
Also head over to here to download adb and fastboot without the android sdk:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1MWexkzYR_bV2VlaF9UcHVBU00/edit?usp=docslist_api
Once the zip file with adb and fastboot is downloaded extract the files into the FLASH folder. Now that we've done all this the image should be downloaded, extract the contents to the FLASH folder. Now open up command prompt. In command prompt type the following(excluding the quotation marks):
"cd C:\Users\*username*\Desktop\FLASH"
*username* Is the name of the user. Now turn off your device then boot your device into fastboot mode(hold the power+volume up+volume down buttons) once your device is in fastboot mode connect it to your computer. In command prompt type(again excluding quotations):
"fastboot devices"
After that you should see your nexus device in fastboot mode, if you have no important data and don't care about losing everything(me) you can just type this in command prompt(no quotations):
"flash-all"
But if that does not work or you do have important things, type:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”

Hello so I was trying to change from cwm recovery to twrp. However when using adb to go to the boot loader it took me to download mode. Now since the adb command was the same as my previous phones (evo 3d, Gnex) I assumed fastboot would work as well. But it didn't. Now I would try to flash a recovery via app but omnirom doesn't have superuser in it and super su refuses to work when after flashing the update zip in recovery. Can anybody help me?

When I rooted, I used Chainfire's auto-root, then used goo manager to install twrp.

I didn't know samsung used fastboot commands like HTC. Why don't you just use odin to flash the recovery?
I believe Samsung may be the only manufacturer that doesn't use fastboot.

Google 15 second adb xda. That'll set up the latest version of adb and fastboot on your device. There is no flashable 22C twrp flashable zip

You'll get rid of the message if you kill "adb.exe" using Task Manager. But to flash the factory images manually you don't really need ADB. Just power it off, boot into fastboot (hold Vol- while starting it) and follow steps C and D from this guide

Download the factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. Extract it using 7-zip or winrar. You'll find the radio.img file and a zip file. Extract the zip file too. In there is system and boot images.
Open a command window in the first folder, the one where the radio image files is. Then
fastboot flash radio radio.img. (note user the full name of the radio image file
Then open a command window in the folder the boot and system images are in. Then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
You'll be updated to 5.0.1
