Hi,
I recently bought a Nexus 4 and rooted the device using the WugFresh Toolkit 1.8.0
Everything went fine and ROOT was successful.
Then I installed a custom ROM named LIQUID SMOOTH which when started went into Bootloop mode.
Instead of wiping the Dalvik Cache and Cache, I formatted the phone in a hurry.
I had got a backup of the previous ROM in my Nexus but before I could transfer it to my PC, I wiped the phone completely.
Now I am able to get into only RECOVERY MODE.
Could I get some help for the issue I am facing now?
Thanks in Advance.
You need to flash a ROM. You can either flash the factory images though fastboot, or use adb sideload in a custom recovery to flash a ROM of your choosing.

Well I tried the ADB Sideload Option first.
Did not work out.
Tried flashing a ROM, but for the flashing procedure according to WugFresh toolkit, I need to get into bootloader mode.
But I am not able to get into Bootloader mode.
Any idea what to try out next??
Turn off your phone, press volume down + power and hold. That should get you in the bootloader.

I prefer cwm touch which you can get from the site. Or you can flash the button version from rommanager
Twrp does work tho, but I've read issues with restoring backups.
Booting into recovery on the device in a way is messed up. The button combo method to enter using the bootloader hangs when not connected to a PC, so there are two options on getting into recovery.
A. Connect to a PC and use bootloader
B. With a working OS, reboot to recovery using an app such as rommanager or goomanager
If you ever flash a rom that won't boot, u need to connect to a PC and boot into recovery via bootloader (button combo).

I use TWRP and had successfully restored now a couple of times. Once was a complete device replacement where I restored the TWRP restore files from my workstation.
How I do my backups to ensure I can restore from a total loss.

Ah, I was curious if this bug still existed or not.
I'd go with CWM, quite stable, easy to use, and you can flash the touch recovery, speeds it up.

Thanks, I read somewhere that if you go into system/ and rename recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak, fixes the bootloop...can anyone confirm this... thank in advance

Try it. Bootloader issue still exists regardless.

I'm a TWRP guy all the way. I have never had an issue restoring a backup, and the ability to compress my nandroid is invaluable.

TWRP has definitely converted me.

Hi guys. I have been trying to fix this problem for like 10 hours but I could never get it right.
Device status: Rooted, unlocked bootloader.
Currently my problem is that whenever I factory reset my device it goes back to CWM recovery. I tried using mskip toolkit and Wug toolkit to flash back to stock rom but it didn't work. The thing I realized is that I could never mount my sdcard from the CWM recovery.
Besides that, whenever I push some files into my sdcard through Windows and reboot my Nexus 7, the file gone missing. I also tried to install and uninstall app and it seems to be working at first, but it goes back to the default state after rebooting it.
By the way, I am able to fastboot it and enter CWM recovery and boot like normal, but could never edit anything on it, not even flashing.
Things I have done:
-Flash stock rom(full zip file) using mskip and wug toolkit.
-Flash stock rom part by part(boot,recovery,system,userdata)
-Boot image using TWRP and wipe data.
-Flash custom rom using toolkit(Bugless Beast).
-Downloaded twice for the stock rom and checked with md5sum.
Things going on now:
-Back to same state no matter what I do to the device.
Sorry for my English.
Anyone help please?
Hmm that is kind of weird, what system are u using? Windows Mac or Linux?
Try using Nexus 7 Toolkit 2.0, it works great in my case :s Restore to stock rom using it. Also check the console if there are any bug report.
Btw you could try to lock/unlock your bootloader as it wipe all user data at the same time
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! I have tried both mskip and Wug toolkit and it doesn't work.
The data inside the device is basically uneditable right now! No matter I delete or add in new files and reboot, files that deleted will be back while the files that I added in will be removed. Seriously I need some help, I'm unable to flash rom or do anything with it since I have unlocked the bootloader(and unable to lock it back) and warranty is voided.
Has anyone been able to get any recovery to work when launched from fastboot without being plugged into a computer? It's quite the trifle when I'm trying a new rom. Basically, if I'm not at home, and if I break the rom somehow (flashing new roms/patchs/etc), I can't possible get into recovery. I've tried TWRP.
Not until..
A. Someone writes a new boot loader (Or modified the existing one)
B. Google fixes the bug in the bootloader

Ok so heres the story. Ubuntu released a version of it self for the N7 and I went to try it out. Works ok kinda sluggish, but I digress.
Went back to stock and it went smooth as butter. Now I went to flash CWM and it flashed like it was supposed to. Now for some reason my tablet only boots into recovery no matter what. I tried to press power and vol down to get into the bootloader and it just boots recovery.
I used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4 to flash the image.
It's stuck in cwm?
Can you reach it via adb?
If so enter "adb reboot fastboot"

Tried that and ADB said there was no device attached. So, I reinstalled my drivers and that worked. Managed to get into fast boot and reflashed stock. I manually flashed cwm and that worked no problem. I'm now back on my own version of cm10.

Hello to everyone!
The problem I have is that i can't boot my device to the normal android os anymore.
It always boot to TWRP. It also seems that i accidentaly wiped my whole device (Data, Chace and Dalvik).
It all happened because i wanted to update to 4.2.2 and it did't work. So i wanted to make a factory reset.
My device is also not recognized by my pc anymore so i couldn't do a reset with the nexus 4 toolkit.
I alsoed tried using adb push but I didn't really figuered out how it works.
Can anyone help me? It's kind of frustrating me
Wipe clean again
Go to advanced
Adb sideload
Now open cmd/terminal on PC in the location ROM of choice is
Type
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
May also need to sideload gapps
Reboot
