You're going to have to get your pc to recognize your device. Google tool adb fastboot drivers.

Please help me. I recently unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 and then installed Glazed Jellybean. The ROM was fine apart from borders on the homescreen so I attempted to replace this launcher with the stock launcher from a Nandroid backup using Titanium Backup. Long story short I now have a device that won't go past the boot animation, and to further complicate matters:
1) I believe a general bug on the Nexus 7 is that you can't boot straight into recovery from the bootloader. I have this issue.
2) I cannot boot up to use Rom Manager to get to recovery that way, to reflash the ROM
3) I did not enable USB debugging within the new ROM before this happened so I can't use ADB commands to get to recovery
What can I do? Have I managed to brick an almost unbrickable device.
Please, please, please help me???

I am pretty sure that the bootloader has adb access in it, so try adb while in the bootloader.

I get "Errorevice not found" when trying to execute "adb reboot recovery"
Did you ever have adb working? Just checking
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the replies but I posted too soon. I have it all sorted now having pushed a stock image in fastboot. Didn't realise fastboot worked independently of adb.
Boot loop is not as scary as f up the bootloader or recovery

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?

Rooting is just flash a zip file via recovery so you don't even need a PC to do that. Just download the file straight to your internal storage.
Not just root .. I need to unlock and install a custom recovery . I am asking if there is a way to do it on Ubuntu . has anybody created any one click tool like in windows for Ubuntu os
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
After using
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
the command is the same for unlocking
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
then
Code:
cd Downloads
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img
Only run Ubuntu myself.

All you need is fastboot to root your device.
I get the waiting on device thing too on fedora. I found I can only run fastboot as root (don't know why). adb runs fine as normal user.
So the fastboot commands are the same in Ubuntu as in Windows, and yet the OP was asking for help?
Yea they are the same but I didn't know that . that's why I asked it. And I still am not able to root it. will try later tonight and see. Anyways thanks for the info and help guys . much appreciated.

After I set the path for adb sometimes I use chmod 755 * if adb is having trouble finding devices, oem unlock, reboot, dl super su zip, place it in sd card, fastboot and flash recovery file, reboot into recovery, flash supersu zip, reboot, all good

Yup. That's what I should have done. Will give it a try for sure after work today. Thank u again.

Hey everyone my Nexus 4 was getting a never ending amount of app force close so I restarted my phone and it just stayed at the CyanogenMod boot animation. I tried booting into ClockworkMod to wipe factory reset and got a list of E: mount fails, I assume something to do with the storage?
I decided to revert to stock by using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347060
Nothing happens though, the device restarts in bootloader mode and nothing, the message I get in the program is posted as an attachment.
Is my Nexus 4 fried?
Only flash factory image with adb!

Wtf did you do that for? You should have flashed the stock Google image with fastboot.

It seemed like it would fix it, but it actually didn't change anything. I searched Google and XDA, that thread would show up as a top result. If someone could point me in the right direction?

This is what I used, had some trouble with it and ended up being because I had the USB cable plugged into the front of my case instead of directly to the motherboard.

That was the first method I tried, nothing happened. Latest attempt was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
However, at each step in command prompt I would get messages like:

1. download the pack here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html put it in an easy to remember location, like on your C: drive on the PC
2. download the factory image from google here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
u´ll probably want the 4.3 (JWR66Y) - the latest
3. unzip the google image in <your location>\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\platform-tools
4. have your phone in bootloader mode (press power+volume down)
5. run flash-all.bat
hope it helps you...
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
