Can u access bootloader?
Yes if you can get into bootloader I suggest pushing the images back over to your phone. There is a restore to stock thread in development that you should look at

In short, I rooted my nexus 7 and downloaded twrp today. I've never rooted anything before but I successfully rooted and installed twrp to my nexus. Along the setup of flashing a rom in twrp, I accidentally deleted everything. The only things I can access is the Google screen with the unlock icon and twrp. My computer is recognizing the nexus as an unspecified android device. Is there any way to flash the original stock rom because now I'm stuck with a brand new nexus that can't do anything? Please help!

I had to do the same thing the other day. I used the method ngoralph just mentioned. Easy peasy. Also after you use option 9 you may want to just go ahead and use option 8. Yes it installs CWM but you can just flash TWRP afterwards if you prefer.
Option 9 worked perfectly. Did not screw up the second time. Thanks for all your help!

Good to hear. Nothing with Android is ever truly messed up if you can get to fastboot mode. Oh and I'm not sure if you have done so or not but if you donate a couple of bucks to the dev of the Toolkit it unlocks the kit update option. There is a much newer kit version out that adds options.
Hello , im new in this forum so sorry if i did something wrong...
about a month ago i rooted my Nexus 7 4.2.1 and everything went good ... until two days ago i couldnt connect to the google playstore and i had an update at the same day ... so what i did was kind of stupid ... i kept the root and upgraded to 4.2.2 hopefully it would fix the google playstore, but what happend is that the root is not activated but i still have the SU .. BUT busybox was gone and google playstore still wasnt conneting...
after a while i tried to unroot my tablet with nexus toolkit with version 4.2.1 (because there was no option for 4.2.2 yet) i did it and now my tablet nexus 7 is stuck in the google logo with a unlocked key underneath it ..... PLEASE HELP I HAVE TRIED EVERY THING YOU ARE MY LAST HOPE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :crying: :crying::crying:
Did you try downloading the official 4.2.2 factory images, and flashing them one by one via fastboot? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
Hopefully you have a backup of /sdcard. This will bring you back to unrooted stock. You will then have to flash a recovery using fastboot, and then you can flash a Superuser or SuperSU zip to get root back.
I don't use toolkits. So I will be of no help there.
Hello , thank you very much for answering but im new in this rooting system so if you could please explain to me what to do ....
and no , i didnt backup anything....
my tablet now can go to the recovery mod i think (pressing the close button + volume UP + volume DOWN for 10 seconds) without a problem...

You dont need usb debugging when you flash things in fastboot mode. as for drivers, if you can see your device in device manager, right click on it then chose update driver, then navigate to the google_usb driver folder found in the sdk extras or on wugs toolkit raw driver install option.
I need help with my nexus 7.
Heres the story:
NEXUS 7 was owned by my little brother. He installed a tons of games, and tablet was unusable.
Then, i fully wiped the tablet, and tried to install android 4.4 (prev version was XenonHD 4.2.1), but it couldnt install it, as recovery was too outdated to install the newest android.
So, now i dont have any android in the tablet, and i am left with recovery and fastboot.
I have to update recovery, so i can install new android, but fastboot is only saying "waiting for device" and nothing happens.
Is my tablet bricked? I cant install android, cant move files to /sdcard, cant fastboot and so on...
I know, that there is a way, but i dont know how.
Please help. I need this tablet tommorow for work!!!
Regards
bump.... Please help...
If you can still access the recovery download a rom that is compatible with you recovery and flash it, but I think you need to have access to sd card then so what you should do is push the file to your device when in fastest, I know it is possible but I don't know how to do it

Try stock 4.2.1 from fastboot, then 4.3 etc.
Ok guys, so I'm gonna need some serious help here! (rookie speaking)
My N4 is currently on stock 4.4.4. I got the 5.0 OTA update, downloaded it, but then when it was time to apply it the phone went into clockworkmod fastboot (I never realized it was there, once I asked a friend to root my phone but he just told me he couldn't finish the process).
So, I am currently struggling with trying to remove CWM altogether. I use ubuntu 12.04, have adb access and did successfully order it to go into reboot bootloader, but that was it. Couldn't get past that. I also did try to, through CWM's boot interface do a sideload, which I commanded via terminal with the .zip file I downloaded from the google developer website for my phone, but at the end it just said "installation aborted". How do I even get past that? Or how do I get the flash-all.sh script to run successfully? I'm stuck! (and obviously not very knowledgeable on this).
Any help is welcome, not afraid of bricking (lol, jk, yes I am).
UPDATE: As I was typing the aforementioned post, I tried all the format options within CWB recovery mode and now the phone is forever stuck on the google logo screen. I think I've officially bricked my phone. Any workaround this or is gone forever?
The firmware update to 5.0 will wipe out CWM and remove Root if you had it. Please see [INFO] Nexus 4 OTA Help-Desk
Also for your reference, should you need it Understanding the Android world before rooting your LG Nexus
If you do at all consider rooting again, please see [Guide] Ultimate Nexus 4 Root Guide
If you are still stuck, please post in [HELP THREAD] nexus4 Ask any question. and one of the experts will be happy to help.
FIXED
Was able to wipe everything out and flash a stock recovery image from google after borrowing a friend's computer with Windows and using SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit v1.2.8.
Now successfully running Lollipop on my N4, relocked bootloader and don't plan on unlocking it ever again! Phew!
I've posted in a few places here on xda but no responses yet, please help! I've unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed twrp, tried to flash cm13 but had the wrong gapps, so it failed, I tried to wipe and restore a backup I made in twrp but it says my device is corrupt then halts at the Google logo. I think all I need is to push the correct gapps to the phone through adb but I can't get my stupid pc to recognize it anymore. I boot into twrp, plug it in to the pc, tried multiple tools and sdk adb route, but nothing works! I have all the drivers installed, and reinstalled, keep getting a Windows error "The procedure entry point WSAPoll could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll"
I read somewhere that the ws2_32.dll is only available in Vista and up... I'm running xp, I wonder if that's my problem. Sorry for all the posts and long explanations, I'm just frustrated and need professional help
You could get that dll somewhere and add it to your windows. I never flashed under Win XP... Also, you could try to download the factory image (NRD90U) from google. Boot your phone on fastboot mode and flash all the .img one by one and should be back to stock... That should fix your problem hopefully!
How do I boot into fastboot mode? I can get to the ko'd android and select options and get into twrp, it says download mode disabled and connect usb data cable, which doesn't change when I plug it in but I see my serial under fastboot in the skipsoft tool kit. I mainly get that error message when using that tool kit too

If you're running XP your pretty seriously out of date.
All of them say download mode disabled when you are in your bootloader. If you see the little droid on his back and the ascii device status in the bottom left corner of your screen you are in bootloader (which is fastboot 'mode' as you put it). Since it is returning your serial number it sounds like you're good.
I expect you may want to simply reflash the stock OS from your Skipsoft kit. Get it booted stock first, then install a custom ROM.
Ok thanks, got my bro here with his win 7 laptop, gonna try and see about pushing the correct gapps to the phone first, if I can't get adb to work when booted into twrp I guess I'll try the fastboot method to stock.
Is it safe to use the Skipsoft toolkit to flash stock Rom while I have twrp installed? And unlocked bootloader?

If your device is currently borked, just start from scratch. If you flash the factory image partitions properly as per Heisenberg's guide then recovery is overwritten anyway. And, you can't flash anything unless your bootloader is unlocked. You would need to reflash TWRP and SuperSU after it first boots.

I would suggest booting it up stock and letting it set up before flashing TWRP and then rooting. And if you do, when you flash TWRP via fastboot, boot right to recovery and flash SuperSU, otherwise TWRP will get overwritten by stock recovery. Rooting stops that.

I followed Heisenberg's guide with no problems the first time, it was all good before I was stupid and flashed a Rom with wrong gapps and tried to restore a backup, thanks tho, I really appreciate the help!

So you went through that and flashed the wrong Gapps pkg again? I may regret asking but what custom ROM are you flashing? There are really only debloated stock variants right now.

Not again, only flashed wrong gapps once, was trying to flash cm13 and got the gapps from opengapps.org. It's ask good now tho, I'm back to stock thanks to you guys and the skipsoft toolkit! Thanks again!
