First off, I'm an idiot.
Nexus 4, 4.3 with Cyanogenmod. Working great until I decided to download Franco Kernel. I installed the latest then the colors inverted. I googled it and found out that the latest update didn't work well with Cyanogenmod and that #188 was the last that did work. I.. like an idiot decided to download and install #188 on top of #192 or whatever it was. Phone goes into **** mode, couldn't do anything on my phone without a popup telling me that android had stopped working so I decide to try factory reset, I don't know what I did wrong this time but now my phone won't even get passed the Google sign on boot up.
Bootloader and recovery still works. I cant push factory zip file to my phone without being in adb mode. What can and should I do?
Cheers

If you can get into recovery, my suggestion would be a FULL wipe. System/Data/Cache/Dalvik. Then start over from scratch!

If you can boot into recovery and/or the bootloader, half of your problem is solved. I'm not understanding exactly what is the problem. What I'm saying is, I fully understand what happens when you let the phone do its thing and it stayed on the Google logo, but what I'm NOT understanding is, you not being able to connect to the phone when it is in the bootloader.
Can you boot into the bootloader and connect to your computer?

You need to be in fastboot mode to push install a new rom. Press the vol+, vol-, and power.

Sounds like a driver issue. Try first uninstall present drivers, plug the phone back in and see if your computer will reinstall the drivers. Oh, before you do that, switch to mtp see what happens.

When I press mount USB storage nothing happens but the menu resetting, it doesn't change to unmount USB storage like the other options do either. I feel like this phone is a goner
I've tried to sideload factory 4.4 but it didn't work, I googled the error and people were saying that it doesn't work for rooted devices. I'd unroot though I'm just afraid that I would break something else.

Hi all!!
I have a huge problem i think.
Yesterday is was rooting my device, and i was about to start flashing a custom rom.
What happened is that in the proces of wiping dalvik cache etc. I by accident wiped the whole system!
So now if i want to reboot, recovery gives the error that there is no OS is installed. If i reboot my nexus 7 keeps hanging in the startup screen wich only displays Google...
It still can reboot in recovery or bootloader, but i cant figure out how to recover. I tried with 2 toolkits, but no succes! I made a nandroid backup but this doesnt work either.
Also i tried several solutions but none of them helped.
Does someone know how i can get my N7 to work again?? :crying:
Wugfresh's toolkit allows you to flash the stock image from the bootloader. Just make sure you check the box that states you cantvpower the device up.
Mskips toolkit, chose the option to flash Google image, it will download, and flash for you, if not your doing it wrong, push comes to shove your going o have to download a custom ROM and use adb to to push it on to your nexus 7 then fire up cwm and lash the rom, your nandroid will be gone unless you took it off/copied to a PC before you messed up.

Yeah, try it, make sure you state you cant boot it, and tell us what parts it stops/fails at
SMH dont use toolkits -_- so you're saying you "could" get into recovery? Why didnt you just adb push a rom
Code:
adb push name-of-rom.zip /data/media
Then flash that rom?

pretty simple. if you know how to use adb then you just need to just a ROM to apply. wether it be the stock or a custom. once you know what ROM, the easiest thing is to paste it into your adb folder (usually platform-tools) and just push it onto your sd card

Hey everybody,
Yesterday I tried flashing a theme to SmoothRom and got caught in a bootloop. In a panic, I accidentally factory wiped my sd card and lost my roms so now I can't flash another rom to my Nexus 7. I've tried adb pushing a rom to the sd card, but my Nexus 7 is not being recognized in adb devices. I've tried everything to my knowledge but I still cannot get anything to work, even tried working on Mac and PC computers and my Nexus won't show up in adb.
I'm ready to count my losses as it is my fault, but I figured you guys could help out. I love my Nexus so if you guys know anything I could do I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Ok guys, I spent all last night trying to get this to work, and I'm still having problems. I tried adding the line to the driver inf file but nothing worked. I tried adding the PDANet drivers, but the Nexus of course is not showing up. I know that my Nexus is not doomed it's just something I'm not doing right, not gonna give up I'll keep at it. Thanks for the help guys, if anything have any suggestions let me know!
Sounds like you should find out if CWM touch can mount a USB flash thumbdrive via an OTG cable. You can avoid driver problems that way (as long as it works). The filesystem formatting of the USB drive with the highest probability of success will be a FAT format.
good luck

If fastboot is really dead, then you're out of luck. Have you tried running fastboot commands, however, after trying to boot into fastboot? Sometimes the underlying software will run correctly, even if the screen is nonresponsive.

Well the thing is when I plug it in nothing shows up or says that I've plugged anything in. It sees nothing. So is Fastboot another option?
Get your phone into fastboot and plug it in the PC. If it is seen by the PC then you can go back to stock. If not, you'll have to try another PC to rule out something your end. If that doesn't work either then you might have to RMA it

Just to clarify, adb won't see the phone but fastboot will. The command "fastboot devices" is what you want. This is for flashing a new OS on the phone.

That's fine, it shows the fastboot driver is installed. You can flash the stock factory image by following the guide I posted earlier in the thread. Once back to stock, you can then see if the PC will find the phone in ADB

Why would he RMA it? This isn't Google's fault.

There is a bit about that in the back to stock thread under the instructions, it happened to me as well
Looks like you got it working again but another option is using the nexus toolkit v1.63 I think (its under the development thread). The toolkit can push a ROM on your PC directly to the phone and flash via recovery. It only took 5 mins for me to get my phone working when I had this exact same problem.

But now the OP has the knowledge of how to do it manually, which everyone should know as relying on a Toolkit is lazy
Guys I need your help.
I have Nexus 4 16GB pre owned. Bought it with Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed already and rooted. Then CM11 nightlies came and I installed it OTA but it seems that it has a lot of bugs so I rolled back to CM10. When I rolled back and rebooted, it does not come up (Google and Cyanogenmod logo only). I rebooted it to bootload mode, then recovery (TWRP) and accidentally wiped out everything including ROM/OS. I don't have that much knowledge in restoring my phone. I tried connecting it to PC (WinXP) and it does not recognize the device. Tried everything posted in different forums on how to connect my device to PC but to no avail. Cannot do USB debugging thing 'cause I can only utilize device's recovery mode (TWRP). I'm thinking now on having this device repaired by cellphone repair shop just to install OS.Anyone can help? Other forums look like too technical for me. Noob here, really.
Hi I've just had a quick look, try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
It mentions about installing drivers and says the USB Debugging ones are not required.

Thanks! Still cannot connect my Nexus 4 to either Mac and Windows even after downloading/installing these drivers. PC/Mac still does not recognize my device. Changed USB cables etc and still cannot get through.

Boot up holding vol down so you are at the android part.
Then attached your phone to your PC and use adb push to push a custom rom or download your source image from google.
Grab the google factory image here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-krt16s-factory-2006f418.tgz
Then do adb shell
mkdir /sdcard/Download
exit
adb push /donwload folder/name of the zip /sdcard/Download
Then go to recovery twrp and install the zip
Should get you up and running
