Today, I have tried updated my Nexus 4 to cm-11-20131205-SNAPSHOT-M1-mako.zip, but it apparently could not be flashed, so it ended up failing. Now, whenever I reboot my phone, it just ends up on my TWRP recovery screen. Please help me solve this urgent problem!!!
Sideload another ROM through adb
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
are you using the latest TWRP? what version it is?

Well, what about wipe everything If can access recovery and then flash new image.
If you have custom build.prop you should adb push it with your default version of it, i had the same problem today.
Could someone teach me the steps to use the ADB sideload that you guys are talking about? Sorry, I'm not that tech savvy, and need some help :/. Does the ADB require the device to connect to a computer? If it does that may be a problem because my device doesn't appear when I connect it to a computer. On a sidenote, I have yet to update my TWRP, it's still v 2.4.1.0.

Just rooted my nexus 7, 1-click with the toolkit and i wanted to install the tablet UI patch. I installed the Odex version of the patch, and now im stuck at the big Nexus X on the boot screen. It wont loop, it just sits there. I dont know what to do. Cant pull the battery like im used to because, well, you know. Any suggestions?
Edit: Made it into bootloader/fastboot/recovery. Im still stuck. I dont have any back up, this should of been a simple little patch and i would be done. is it possible to transfer files while in fastboot or recovery?
What recovery? Some can mount usb and then drag-n-drop. But if your in recovery and have the right drivers, you can push the file adb. Or use a toolkit.
Flash stock image using fastboot

I flashed the clockworkmod touch zip from my recovery.
It didn't give me the touch recovery, I thought "whatever" and booted back into my rom.
It wouldn't boot.
I went back into recovery and flashed PA rom and gapps.
They weren't booting, I decided to give them a few minutes.
It finally booted.
It no longer connects to wifi or tmobile.
I can't transfer files over usb.
Wugfresh's toolkit couldnt return it to stock.
I thought the recovery might have gotten messed up when I tried to flash CWM touch, so I flashed TWRP from Wugfresh's toolkit.
I used adb sideload to flash a stock rooted rom.
It still took forever to boot, and is still not connecting to wifi/network.
TL;DR I can boot into fastboot and recovery and even the rom but I have no network connection... help guys :'(
It says BASEBAND VERSION - N/A... could that be the problem? If so, how do I fix it?
This is why we don't use toolkits. Return to stock using ADB and do it again...

When I try to fastboot flash the stock image it says "does not contain recovery.sig" "does not contain boot.sig" and only updates the bootloader.
Did you dl the image right from Google?

I was rooted on 4.2.2 and checked for the system update for 4.3. It was there so I got really excited and installed it immediately, without writing a thread about it, making sure I'm not doing something wrong. Well, I was.
It updated to 4.3 and it works fine, but I can't access TWRP (I get an opened Android with a red X over it). Also, when I go into SU, I get a message saying "There is no SU binary installed. ... If you've just upgraded to 4.3, you need to manually re root your device."
How do I do this? Thanks.

Toolkits cannot flash the recovery on Android 4.3 so you have to download the recovery image and flash the recovery image using "fastboot flash recovery [Replace_this_with_image_name]" and enter while your Nexus 4 is on bootloader mode to flash the recovery properly.
Now you need to transfer the SuperSU v1.51 zip file to the root of your internal storage and install it via TWRP recovery and then you are fully rooted without any TB restore issues or anything like that.

Thank you so much, but I don't quite understand the first part since I've only rooted my Nexus 4 once, using a toolkit. I hope you don't mind, I have a few questions: Where do I download the recovery image and where do I type the text you wrote?
Thanks so much!

I rooted and unlocked my device with a Toolkit but the problem is that you do not know what is exactly going on since you cannot see the commands.
You have to get the Android SDK for this one, I already have it all in a zip file but that is on my laptop and I will be working on my phone today by installing PA.
One you get the SDK you have to go into the SDK manager and download/update the ADB tools, after that open the CMD in the folder which says "Platform-tools" and type the command from there.
Has for the image you have to put it in platform-tools has well for this to work:

Well, i made the mistake to delete the OS when trying install another rom, and now, I can´t connect my Nexus 7 to the PC.
I have tried pushing the zip file to my storage via adb and fastboot, but it says that there are no devices attached.
How can I solve this?
Thanks in advance
(I´m using TWRP 2.6.3, I don´t know if that´s important..)
Boot into recovery, then try ADB push or sideload.

@closercloud: Read my comment here.
I just installed TWRP on my N4 and have never used it before. I always used CWM and I just wiped it through recovery. My issue is that I wiped EVERYTHING. It says "no OS detected" and won't boot past the Google logo. Can't install drivers when connected to the computer, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to flash a stock image, or fix it with the nexus root toolkit. Could someone PLEASE give me a walkthrough for a noob of how to go about fixing this? I don't understand a lot that deals with ADB and all that. Thank you.

Google tool adb fastboot drivers. Then Google nexus 4 factory image and download that. Use 7-zip to extract it. Flash the flash-all.bat while your phone is in fastboot mode and connected to your pc
Sent from my Nexus 5
Do I she the factory image it originally had which was 4.2.2 or do I use the image I updated to which was 4.3? Don't know if it matters, but I've never done this so I don't want to make anything worse.

If you don't understand, this time right now seems a good reason to learn about it right?
As to you problem, can you boot into recovery..the twrp? If yes, then it is easy. Just sideload a rom (preferably a 4.2.2 rom as it was the last rom on your device). Oh and yeah, sideload does use a bit of adb command (see how important it is for us, the nexus user?).
The other way is to simply use toolkits (which is a shortcut, not good as you will learn nothing of the whole process and it just takes all the fun away). Look in original android dev section for wugfresh toolkits (but I really, really, really hope that you learn ADB. After all, we need to learn to count before we start using a calculator right? ). Good luck. Don't sweat it so much.
p/s: That video there can be used for any android version and any rom of nexus 4.
Sounds easy enough. My only issue has been that I couldn't install any drivers. I can boot into twrp, but that's it. Any guide I've researched says to turn on USB debugging, which I can't figure out how to do since it won't boot past the Google logo, and the drivers won't install correctly when I connect the nexus to a computer.

Use wugfresh nexus root tool kit to flash a stock rom.
USB debugging is not required to flash a stock ROM via fastboot.

The easiest in my opinion would be sideloading a new rom, like cm11, paranoidandroid etc. Then you could easily install it on your n4

Tried the toolkit yesterday. Didn't work because it couldn't install the drivers
Sent from my Z665C using xda app-developers app
Install drivers manually. Just Google "nexus 4 USB drivers" download and install. Then get toolkit and flash stock image.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I'll try again. I was able to figure the drivers out. Tried flashing a stock image I downloaded, but I still wouldn't boot past the Google logo. I flashed it to the system partition, but I didn't know what partition to flash it to. Do I need to use the modified boot image it wants me to download, or am I supposed to flash it to a certain partition?

FIXED IT!!! thank you all for your help.
For anyone else with this problem, I downloaded "universal naked drivers" and installed them manually, use the Nexus Root Toolkit selected "soft brick, than flash stock/unroot, let it download RETORT and the modified boot image, flash it in fast-food, then when it booted up, re-rooted. (You lose root access when you do this).
