Okay So I unlocked bootloader via NRT..
So after unlocking I got into recovery and earsed the data(as mentioned in the instructions)..
Now basically the tablet doesn't boot up to home.
First. Dont use toolkits. No disrespect to the dev but it is way better to do it manually.
Second which recovery did you use?
Third what exactly did you wipe?

You can re install the rom by going to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaraykot49h and picking the image you need.
Just hold the power button and the both volume buttons down at the same time to get into the fastboot mode before you run the image restore
program. I hope this helps. Good Luck
Make sure you go down to the Factory Images "mantaray" for Nexus 10.

You download the file from Google and unzip the *.tgz into a folder on the computer, then you run the flash-all.bat from the folder you unzipped the file in.

Good advice but for a noob needs a bit more about being in command line with the adb and fastboot commands in path. I use Linux desktop. I bricked a n7 last week due to a dodgy connector socket/cable during a flash and had to type the flash-all script commands myself a few times til it worked.

On my bricked N7 I pulled cable reinserted and retried. Keep retrying each command in the script. Worked eventually for me.

Last option,I'll send my nexus 10 with my uncle back to USA.
Will they charge to fix it?
Hi,
You may want to seek for the guide in the Nexus 10 Q&A regarding flashing stock again.
Can you please go a little further in details about how "bricked" it actually is? What exactly happened? There seem to be missing some important info regarding your issue.
Please be a little more descriptive and maybe I can help you .

fastboot flash each of them
boot into stock recovery and u will get stuck at the laying android

Yea you flashed a rom specifically setup as a 8gb. I've seen this before. No worries. You just have to flash all the above like the poster above said.

the rom is universal. I think the issue is the sdcard not being wiped first. maybe even a fastboot erase userdata will do it bit I haven't tried.

No, the 'sh' files are for Linux operating systems only.
On Windows, just extract the ZIP, make sure platform-tools is in %path%, then open flash-all.bat
If you're on Windows, you don't need a command prompt. You can just open the bat file, because Windows already has bat files registered under the defaults program thingy.
I feel kind of sick...
I hope someone can assist. I screwed up, big time.
I decided to full wipe my device and choose to flash stock using Toolkit. However, usb debugging isn't shown as being enabled (I think) and I'm unable to get back into a ROM to enable it, since fully wiping my entire storage.
I have tried reinstalling drivers on so many occasions, I've tried pushing files, using sideload. Nothing works. I literally cannot find a way to flash any rom onto the device. I have CWM recovery, but no way of getting zips onto the device. I cannot access usb debugging. Toolkit always reads the serial for fastboot but never shows any active devices for ADB.
I'm stumped and currently have no way of using my device.
I should've never tried to wipe it to begin with.
Thanks to anyone who might be able to assist. I'm sorry to burden you all.
if you can access via fastboot just flash your system.img to the phone with fastboot flash system system.img!
too bad google pulled the nexus 4 factory image
I have the factory image for the Nexus 4. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you the link to it on my Drive.
Use the nexus 4 toolkit to download the stock image for the phone and use keys on phone to boot to fastboot. Then connect phone to your PC and run the nexus 4 toolkit. It should detect your phone in fast boot mode and allow you to flash stock rom

For the toolkit, you dont have to push it to your phone, leave it in your computer, go to fastboot then use the Restock function in the toolkit to restock your phone.
If you didn't download the stock image by the toolkit, it will ask you to download the image, just choose an option that allows you to pick the img from your computer.

If you download one of the images from the link inside it will be a batch file (flash-all.bat) you can just double click that and it will do everything for you.

I really appreciate all the helps.Everything went well. But got stuck on the X animation. Os is not loading . I waited more than 20 mins.
Turn your phone off, then go to bootloader, choose the option to go to Recovery Mode. You'll see the android dude lying with a red triangle. Press power or power+up+down or some combinations like that, I dont really remember, to enter the Options of Recovery mode. Wipe cache and do a factory data reset. Reboot.
How on terra do you even managed to "accidentally" format your phone?
Everything good now. Got my nexus up and running again.
I'm more surprised on why people don't read up on everything BEFORE rooting the phone in the first place? Surely it's common sense to know how to recover the phone should something go wrong?...

Hey guys
I thought I'd just let you all know that my ambition to get 4.3 and lack of knowledge, led to my phone getting bricked today. I'm so devastated. I was following efrant's guide and flashed everything correctly and then as usual I lost half my storage and I followed the other guide to restoring the lost storage, once again i followed everything but i didn't get the storage back, then i did some cmd commands like the guide did. Next thing you know I may have done something wrong and I was at the bootloader screen and I couldn't reboot or go to recovery. Read and read nothing helped, called Google and they couldn't help me. I am now getting a replacement. SO there you go guys, just the greed of getting 4.3 caused me to brick my phone as well as my lack of knowledge I guess. Can't complain. Thought I'd share this with you all.

P.S Moderators if this isn't suitable you guys can delete it no harsh feelings

In this particular situation i wont recommend you using a toolkit. Is much esier with a good guide if it fails with the toolkit (btw while i flashed 4.3 factory image the cmd told me also about "missing recovery and system.sig" but now ive got a fully working 4.3 ROM on my N4.
You can do it via ADB. You just setup ADB on your computer. And put all the files from the factory image in the "platform-tools" adb folder. If your phone is in the bootloader menu and its recognized by your computer you just run a file that is called "flash-all.bat" and it should flash the 4.2/4.3 image on your phone. Thats how i did it a few hours ago.
Have a look at this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
But remember all the files in this guide are for the Nexus 7 so use the N4 factory images and the proper commands for your device (i mean the last step of this guide which shows various commands. you shouldnt use them becuz they are for the N7 and the proper commands for the N4 are written in the "flash-all.sh" use those commands or use the "flash-all.bat" which is included in the 4.3 factory image [i dont know if its included in the 4.2. f.i.]. All those files have to be in the "platform-tools" folder in order to let the .batch file do its job.
I hope u understood what i wrote. If not let me know.

Flash ClockworkMod or TWRP and using one of them wipe cache, dalvik cache and data (not storage). Apps and settings will be gone, but your music and pictures will still be there.

Oh well you should look in one of those threads on how to root and so on, flashing a recovery using a toolkit should also work. Texts will be gone.
Or from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Note that some users indicate that they can't get past the X on boot. If this happens to you, reboot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, when you see the Android with the red exclamation mark, hold power and press volume up to take you to the menu. Wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset.

OK!
Ok, I will try this when i get home so about 15min and ill keep you posted on what happens. but i still have a question, why cant nexus toolkit do it? i think it is extracting it to the wrong folder because on the command prompt it says it cant find like system.img nor boot.img or something like that lol it has been a while since i last looked at it
fastboot

Open the command window in the same directory as you have fastboot.exe. shift, right click on that directory and a window will pop up letting you open the command window there.

I don't seem to have any recovery any more any clue? I went to root without a computer and it can't find it can you tell me what I did wrong or should I just try nexus toolkit to root my device because I don't even think it is rooted. Or should I use cmd to root and put super user and custom recovery? If so do you know of a link.. I'm sorry but I appreciate the help

I am not sure of a way to solve this problem you are having but I would recommend not using the toolkits for a little while, it seems to me like you have a bit to learn about ADB and rooting etc. And you need that to fix any problems you get into. The toolkits should be a shortcut for things you already know how to do, not to replace learning

You will lose root and the custom recovery do that is expected. Use the link you were given on page 1 and go to section E
