Have you tried doing it the manual way? Using fastboot. The command is pretty simple as long as you have actually have the recovery file.I believe its fastboot flash recovery name of recovery.img.
There is probably a walk through in the forum.

Lost Root after upgrading to 4.2.2

So I decided to restore my Nandroid of Stock ROM so I could upgrade it to 4.2.2. Now I have lost Root. Problem is when I try to enter Recovery I get the Android dude with the red triangle and it says "No Command" underneath it. How do I get back to recovery? I've tried searching but haven't gotten the answer. Thanks in advance!

if you flashed the official 4.2.2, it replaced your recovery with the stock recovery(android dude w/the red triangle) and you lost root. all you have to do is flash a custom recovery via fastboot then flash a custom rom or the su binaries.

so you have used the Nandroid of Stock ROM?
as stated above you can get a custom recovery back, then flash a kernel or a root package. should be fairly easy, to get back no worries!

Any instructions for this? I use a Mac computer and the instructions I've seen are for windows. I'm not a Noob but am a little unfamiliar with ADB and Fastboot.

I used the instructions from Androidrootz.com. I figured I could just do this again but when I tried it still got the android dude.

Can you not into recovery? If not maybe adb a custom recovery then adb a rom and not into recovery?
BTW this should be in the Q&A forum

thanks for your reply, i can get into recovery, and i reflash recovery using nexus 4 toolkits too. but when i go into recovery it still "couldn't open directory" , anything wrong of it?
I have used the info from the site below in the past. It was written for the nexus 7, so make sure that you grab and flash the nexus 4 files instead of the nexus 7 files.
Like I said, this has worked for me but use at your own risk. This will completely wipe out the phone and return you to stock.

Why go so far away to return to stock, we have some great guides here? Check efrant's guide in the link in my signature.

I flashed Google factory image of Google too. I flashed twrp just like i did on 4.2.2. So AFAIK you can flash recovery just the way you used too and the same img too.

Ok guys, it's clear. Thanks for the answer and enjoy your summer and Tomorrowland weekend!

Nexus 7 blocked in bootloader

Hi, I just upgraded my nexus 7 to android 4.3 and then I have unlocked the bootloader with a tool for Ubuntu users. Then, I install a recovery, and then I root it but it doesn't work. So I decided to downgrade to 4.2.2 with the tool with "flash Google factory image" but an error occurred and the nexus doesn't boot
I can just go in the bootloader, I have the bootloader unlocked, but no recovery, and no root.
Here is my question : how can I install for example cyanogen 10.1.2 but blocked in the bootloader ?
Don't forget that I have just Ubuntu.
Thanks.

I don't know if I'm hearing you right... But you can't have a locked bootloader and a custom recovery and have CM.

If your bootloader is corrupted you can't boot anything. You're going to have to find a way to get your bootloader flashed. I don't know much about this but on my S3 I used Odin.

If you read the app info on play store it says it won't work on 4.3 but they are trying to find a fix.

I would sit tight and let the app developers try and straighten things out. I updated my nexus4 to 4.3 but will wait awhile before doing my n7. I'm sure it won't be long!

Ok need a little help trying the root kit but for some reason I keep getting adb can't connect
Sent From My Rooted G3
Only thing I can suggest is make sure you have USB debugging enabled and make sure you have the correct drivers installed. It's probably best to ask in the thread of the toolkit you're using, I haven't tried many toolkits but wugs has a pretty good walk thru for driver installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

I followed the instructions in the thread below for 'Already updated to 4.3 and have an OTA notificaion? (JWR66Y from JWR66V)'.
I unrooted, flashed the update zip in recovery and immediately after flashed the superuser zip and all was fine.

Boot into recovery and flash Chainfire's SuperSU package. After that you are rooted.
