I'm bricked .. Getting worries. (Yes I've read the forums ...)

Attempted to flash Liquid Jelly Bean, then got stuck on the animation boot screen. I've tried Root tool kit for unbricking and setting it back to stock. Tell me it's successful but stays stuck on the animation screen.
I've also tried to unbrick manually however even though I have the correct files placed in my Platform Tools folder of Android SDK ... I constantly get stuck at the CMD prompt steps. Any time I type in "ADB reboot loader" or ..."fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img" or anything similar I get the error message in CMD saying "___ Is not recognized as an internal or external command"
I'm not sure what to do. The bootloader does say that my device is locked, I just can't get passed the splash screen!

"I've tried Root tool kit for unbricking and setting it back to stock. Tell me it's successful but stays stuck on the animation screen. "

Here's an update:
I think I've made it worse ...
Nothing will boot now and it's currently locked. Any time I hit "Start" it says "Booting Failed"
My CMD now says; Error: Cannot Load "Bootloader Grouper-3.34.img"
I'm seriously lost. I've been working on this for about 6 hours now ....

Can you get into bootloader and then recovery by holding the power and volume down buttons? Was ADB actually working before all of this??

Nope. Nothing is allowing me to get into recovery. At first it was just stuck on the google screen now it says "boot failed"

You can't go to bootloader, and press the volume buttons to go to recovery?

No I can't get into the recovery at all. When I turn on the device I don't even need to use the rocker keys to get into bootloader either. Actually my bootloader is a bit different now too. I have the 'Google' logo and at the top the regular options for Start, Recovery, Power Off, etc.
In simple terms: I can't even get to the animated splash screen anymore

Open the command prompt IN the directly WITH fastboot
Fastboot oem unlock
Then wipe / flash factory images. Fastboot -w update image whatever the image name is.
Then uninstall / delete that stupid toolkit and never use them stupid craps again.

Are you still able to communicate with the device via fastboot? If you issue the command 'fastboot devices' does it return a serial number?
Edit: I'm going to bed so if you are able to use fastboot, download the factory image pack from https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
Extract the archive. Inside are there will be an install script, manually issue the commands contained in the script in fastboot. The only thing you need to add is the location of the .img and .zip files from the archive you extracted e.g. 'fastboot flash recovery c:/Users/name/desktop/recovery.IMG'
There is no reason this will not get you up and running again.

Thanks for your response.
I've followed the instructions in the file. From previous research, I've had these files. My device does communicate with Fastboot. When I give the command for Devices it gives me my serial. Also, when I ask it to reboot-bootloader in CMD it does.
My issue is when I get to "Fastboot flash bootloader-grouper-3.34.img". CMD states "Error: Cannot load bootloader-grouper-3.34.img"
I've followed the commands previous to that. (Erase boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata)
Open the command prompt IN the directly WITH fastboot
Fastboot oem unlock
Then wipe / flash factory images. Fastboot -w update image whatever the image name is.
Then uninstall / delete that stupid toolkit and never use them stupid craps again.

Yes my device is unlocked again, but I still can't get into recovery mode. It just tells me "Recovery Failed" in small text in the upper left hand corner of my N7.

UPDATE:
After unlocking the device again. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to restore to factory settings and it worked
The Problem: My device was no responding correctly to the toolkit when locked.
Cheers for the help. I'll attempt to root again, hopefully no problems this time If there are I'll be sure to post again!
Thanks to everyone that replied.

For the love of God..stop using the toolkit from here on out.. learn how to use ADB and Fastboot so you can avoid these issues.

So you erased the recovery then wonder why you could not boot into recovery....
You flashed or tried to flash the bootloader. You already had the same bootloader installed and there was no need to do so to try and fix your issue.
You still don't know what you're doing and are back using the tool that lead you to this issues. A toolkit. Learn what you're doing and you wont face this type of silly issue again.

nvm you fixed it, good job
Don't use toolkits. Most people don't have a clue what the toolkit is actually doing so if something goes wrong they aren't in a good position

Its always nice to see threads like these where the N7 in the face of death but in the end with cutting edge medical technology it is brought back to life and healthy.

Rooting my Nexus 4 - Kinda scared to do

The title may sound strange but it's true.
I have this phone for just one week and haven't used it to call (reason: moving from T-Mobile to Tele2, this takes time. Date: 25e).
Rooting will allow me to do some stuff like a different boot animation which caught my attention. What I just don't want to happen is that I brick my phone to the point that it doesn't work anymore. Secondly I void my warranty which is something I don't feel so good about seeing I just got the phone.
I don't know this yet but if I root is. Can I back up everything from the phone? Contacts, Apps, settings etc etc? So when something goes wrong I can install a image of my back up?
Sadly I am pretty dark now. It's all new and while I would like to give it a shot, some things don't feel right for me just yet as stuff is unclear to me on how do it it.
Can XDA help me maybe? Also what are some really cool ROM's? I wanted to get Touchwiz but there is no (lol) and Cyanogenmod is like Stock Android so it seems ...pointless?
Best regards,
Robert Oortwijn

setup adb and learn how to flash back to stock in fastboot. you will never brick your device beyond repair as long as you are capable of following directions for flashing and rooting and such

Here's the sticky from the other forum.
That is very useful and they talk in layman's terms. When I first got my N4, I followed this and got custom everything following the instruction posted there.

I'm no expert, but I rooted my N4 in the first week very easily, and as long as you follow all the instructions in the XDA thread then you won't go wrong. If you are really worried then you can use a toolkit as that will automate everything, but I'd never recommend that as you aren't really learning.
As for backing everything up, you can back up some things like your contacts, WiFi passwords and so on to your Google account. Apps is a lot harder if you want the data, but I believe an ABD backup will work - again, look at the appropriate thread (or use the toolkit for backing up).
And Roms, most of them have a stock feel with more features such as extra customization, but if you want a different look you can use themes - you can get touchwiz themes on the play store for ROMs like CM.

you dont need root to flash roms or kernels, you need a custom recovery(and an unlocked bootloader). you need root to run root apps and to mess around with the root file system.

I agree with tom about the toolkits. There is a large correlation between people who use toolkits and people who break their phone and have no idea what they are doing. Learning fastboot will save you from huge headaches and regret in the future.

Finally got it rooted and installing CM10.1 went easy!
What I only want to know now is:
How do I relock the phone from rooted to unrooted again? Same for bootloader.
Removal of Clockwork.
And remove CM10.1 and get stock android back.
Thats all!

Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 well, it will show you exactly how to get back to stock if need be.

We were all scared and nervous too when we first rooted an android device. Lol. When you get it done you soon realize how easy it was. :thumbup:

Can someone help? So I have Cyanogenmod installed on the phone and got USB debug on. When i unplug and go into the bootloader and then plug the micro-usb in my PC doesn't detect the phone. I do have the drivers installed.
It did work, now it doesn't meaning I can't perform the stuff needed.
ps: If your wondering if I use the SDK to put everything to stock well sorry but I can't get the SDK to work. Java issues and errors. Pain in the ass so I stop with that.

In the bootloader and then recovery I get a Android logo with a red /!\ ?
Edit 1: I tried a reboot and now it doesn't hang. The X logo is moving but nothing yet.
Edit 2: 5min later and still at the X logo. It does move but nothing. Is my phone dead?

if you are getting and android with a red "!", it sounds like you didnt flash a custom recovery. you need to be on either cwm, or twrp.
edit: it sounds like something got jacked and you need to start over again. it sounds like you are going back to stock, right?
start from the bootloader with fastboot. format/erase all the partitions and reflash everything and you should be golden
im not sure if i reading it right, but from what i can gather, you flashed cm10.1, then found out adb doesnt work right so you are ditching it and going back to stock? i wouldnt worry about it too much. as long as you can still use fastboot in the bootloader, thats all you need to do anything to save yourself from certain death. adb is more helpful for gathering up data if you cant lose it before flashing back to stock

For some reason. I pressed the buttons to get into the bootloader I get this:

Edit: I'm back in the bootloader. I didn't press the combination right sending me into Download Mode.

So what I did was this. I followed these instruction on how to install custom ROMS: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/02/how-to-install-custom-roms-on-nexus-4.html I also followed them in the procedure of rooting your phone.
I tried it out and now wanted to go back to stock. So I found a article also by them and did that: http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/12/how-to-unroot-nexus-4-to-stock-42-jelly.html
When I was at the point where the cmd said: erasing use rdata the article said: 5min, but it took longer so I unplugged the USB.
Now I'm here where I can't boot the OS anymore. Bootloader does work but recovery doesn't as I get the /!\

Retrying in the meantime. Now at writing system (done)
Edit 4:
Now I'm at the point where it's erasing userdata....

unplug anything that is plugged into your phone. make sure it is completely turned off. hold volume down and power until it vibrates. it should take you straight to the bootloader
---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------
yeah something is amiss, hold on let me type this up real quick
go here and download OCCAM factory image. open up the file you downloaded and you should see userdata.img, system.img, etc.... take all the files that end in img and move them to your directory for fastboot aka: /platform-tools, or whatever you use for fastboot.
boot your phone to the bootloader. type this in fastboot, pressing enter after each line:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format system
fastboot format cache
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now for the flashing,
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img

Might help to know what error and which img file (specifically), I would just pull down TWRP 2.5.0.0 (specifically for mako):
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
Boot into recovery (wipe/format and flash up new rom, etc), or if you instead get an error note the specific error.
PS: If you have no rom/etc due to erasure, you can 'adb push' the zip files to /sdcard while in recovery.

First off, bootloader isn't a "recovery", second you're missing a parameter
fastboot [action] [partition] [file]
You were basically telling it to flash nothing onto a partition named bootloader-make-makoz10o.img which course doesn't exist.

This is why you don't use a bootloader. Just do it the old fashion way.
You don't need to flash a bootloader. Just fastboot flash stock Google images and start over

Also please change the title, your phone isn't bricked. You just messed up due to taking a shortcut route aka toolkit.

yes proper drivers installed. Just unrooted and relocked old nexus 4 for return and then tried to root and unlock new one and it **** on me

It probably will if you use the proper syntax since you have to tell it which partition.
If you go and grab the TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery image from their website for mako, you can use the following
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Making sure there are 4 parts as the word recovery is part of the command.

Thus why you download one and flash. It's nearly impossible to hard brick a Nexus. Just helps not to receive panic. Take a couple breaths and figure out the proper commands.

[Q] Wugfresh stucks on: send bootloader(1280kb)

Well, i tried to install stock Bootloader, stock recovery and stockrom with wugfresh tool under "Back to Stock", and so thats the problem:
When i try to send the bootloader, it stucks and the tablet posts under the infos on the bootloader screen: FASTBOOT STATUS - DATA00140000.
And thats it. I waited 2 hour, it still stucks on sending bootloader. So i downloaded the Unified Android Toolkit, install the fastboot driver and tick the option to install a new recovery... It still stucks on sending bootloader. In Youtube Videos, i saw, that the sending finished about 0,2 s. Thats 1280kb! Why doesnt work it on my tablet. I had root, but i didnt tick the usb debugging. So when i switch on my tablet, it comes to the bootloader, and its the activated bootloader( i can switch to recovery, reboot bootloader, power off, reboot system,..) and its unlocked. If i reboot into the recovery, it also comes to the activated bootloader. Its also when i tick the reboot system. So what can i do? Is it hardware bricked? Or whats the problem? I have the bootloader version MANTAMF01 and the H/W Version 8. Can anyone helps me?
And yes, i am the Admin on my PC

The problem is the toolkit, just use fastboot
fastboot flash bootloader nameofbootloader.img
And your done
But after doing so you effectively wipe a few of your partitions so then flash recovery and ROM as well, the method on doing so slightly varies depending if your going back to stock or what something custom

I am having the same exact problem, and I tried doing as you said with fastboot, but I still can't receive any files. Any other suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to return to stock? Download the appropriate factory image (just Google android factory image) extract all and flash with fastboot.
If you want more detailed explanation boot to bootloader and write down all info on that screen, pet me know the os of your PC, and the explain a little more what's wrong, I'm not sure what can't receive any files means. It is often helpful to copy and paste all input/output from cmd/terminal

I just resolved this issue on my own about a minute before your response lol. The problem was that I wasn't using the stock USB cord. Holy cheese and rice, I've been sitting here for the past 5 hours at wits end trying to figure out the problem. My problem was exactly like MrCreeper's, it was just stuck on "sending 'bootloader'" with no progress whatsoever on either PC or tablet. Who woulda thunk the problem was simply that I was using the incorrect USB cord -_- *sigh*
Anyway, thank you for your prompt reply. I did use a few of your tips from your other posts when I ran into other problems trying to flash stock image, so cheers for that!

Hello,
Please if English is not your mother language, use an online translator like Google translate. The end of your story doesn't make sense.
What happened?
When you are in bootloader, select recovery mode and press power button, what happen? Does it bootloop?
Good luck...

Did you try installing a factory image?
developers.google.com/android/images
All you need to do is extract the downloaded zip, place your fastboot and adb files in there (or vice versa) and finally run flash-all.bat.
Be cautious: if there's any data left on the internal storage, it WILL be wiped.

Hello,
Did you read the OP? Bootloader is LOCKED. I know you want to help and the post is a little bit hard to understand. But read before posting please...
Cheers...

Bootlooping with no recovery and bootloader is locked- there is no chance. Time for a new device.

I did, though to be fair it's not very well constructed.
How did you get it in this situation?
What you could try is booting into the bootloader and issue these commands through fastboot;
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
They might work with a locked bootloader and could possibly solve your issues

Hey,
"fastboot format" doesn't work unless unless the bootloader is unlocked...

I found a thread earlier that said in 'some' cases it does, so there is hope...
But I'm just gonna assume you're right. In which case OP's situation seems pretty hopeless unfortunately
