Doublecheck your drivers or use a Linux distro
Or use a different PC and/or USB cable

Install the necessary drivers and boot your phone in fastboot mode.

Uninstall other drivers like Samsung ones. Download wugs tool kit to do so

thats really weird, make sure you have usb debugging enabled. ive updated to 4.2 but i couldnt re-root using toolkit either but it recognized the usb.
I think I see the common problem here.
Toolkits.
Why are you people using them on the N7? Everything is supported straight from Google.
fastboot oem unlock
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
Go in to CWM, flash the SuperSU file.
There is no reason to do it any other way.
OP, put your phone in to fastboot mode, plug it in and do a "fastboot devices".
Does your device show in the output?

Can't update TWRP

I can't update twrp past 2.3 to flash KitKat if I flash via terminal I get error 1 and goomanager is just being weird.
Here's the catch though. I cant plug it into a PC as it won't read it. So I can't do fastboot or adb.

Well the best way to flash a recovery is with fastboot so I highly recommend to figure out your issue with PC not recognizing phone. Are you using windows or Linux?

Try Flashify. Download the recovery.img and flash it to the recovery partition.

Maybe this will help load the proper drivers for windows or rules for Linux, sorry I stay away from apple so can't help there.
Unless its a hardware issue it should be easy to fix.
Otherwise you will need to add the flash binary to your ROM to use terminal emulator, supposing the command you enter are correct

Its hardware related. I was told it was stuck in otg mode. Whatever that means.

[Q] Nexus 7 (2012) - TWRP No OS Installed - Are you sure you want to reboot? Bricked?

Hi, I booted into TWRP recovery mode to attempt updating my rooted Nexus 7 from 4.2.2 to 4.3. I wiped system, dalvik cache and cache. I also (stupidly) wiped data and internal storage too. Now I cannot turn on my Nexus 7 fully, it only shows the Google insignia with the unlocked boot loader icon below it.
I can boot into recovery mode and I can USB host, I tried copying a zip of the stock 4.2.2 ROM for Nexus 7 wifi onto my flash drive and tried flashing under the "install" section on TWRP but it always fails (I do not know why).
I cannot connect my Nexus 7 to the computer. Can anyone help me out, please?
Use adb side load in advanced settings
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
adb sideload gapps.zip
Reboot
Profit

Either flash a custom ROM from recovery or use the Wugfresh toolkit to flash a stock ROM.

Agreed, the toolkit works like a charm.
I had also deleted the whole Os and fixed it with the help of the toolkit.
Not sure why folks keep telling you to flash a custom rom when you ha e clearly stated that it fails. So, heres my two cents......
Since you already wiped the internal memory and there is no chance of data loss, just download the stock image and fastboot back to a fresh system. And for gods sake, dont use wugs. Just use good ole fastboot. There is a very easy how-to in the stickies of this section. This forum is full of problems arising from toolkits, that could have been easily avoided by fastboot.

I SECOND that use the toolkit from wugfresh for this.
ADB sideload and Fastboot is a real pain with TWRP don't know why the file does not get pushed at all.
Save yourself time and just use the toolkit if it's a Nexus device if Samsung find a similar toolkit tool
The site for toolkit is wugfresh . com ( no urls so the space )
Hope this helps someone
Good luck

TWRP no OS detected HELP!!!

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
See here how to do it: http://teamw.in/ADBSideload , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45798359&postcount=825
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).
