You should be able to use fastboot to flash a recovery img or use a toolkit.

Did you remember to change the recovery-from-boot.p file after you did the 4.1.2 update?

Yes after I update to 4.1.2 OTA those problems came
And now I managed to reboot to CWM by wug's toolkit but I can't enter to recovery from the bootloader

This is a problem many Nexus 7 owners are experiencing since the 4.1.2 update, whether by OTA or flashed from sd card. There apparently is an issue with the bootloader (version 3.43). One solution that I have seen on t his forum and on another is to flash the last version of bootloader (3.31 I think). I have tried every conceivable method to get into either stock recovery or custom recovery to no avail...flash, 2 different toolkits, ROM Manager, TWRP...you name it, I've tried it to no avail. I have not tried to flash back to the old bootloader though...just doesn't sound like a good idea...although I have not heard of problems being encountered by those who have flashed the old bootloader...yet. There are a couple thread in this sub forum on the subject if you want to read the 100 different ways users have tried to get a recovery.

I think my bootloader is 3.41 and I have no issues but I flashed the factory image from Google because my touchscreen didn't respond after the 4.1.2 OTA.
Try flash the bootloader and see if it works and if not then flash the factory image.
Just note that if you use the script/batch file to flash it all automagically it will wipe your SD so flash each image separately and don't flash userdata.img
flashing factory fixes any software problem, its the best thing about owning a nexus.

I flashed the clockworkmod touch zip from my recovery.
It didn't give me the touch recovery, I thought "whatever" and booted back into my rom.
It wouldn't boot.
I went back into recovery and flashed PA rom and gapps.
They weren't booting, I decided to give them a few minutes.
It finally booted.
It no longer connects to wifi or tmobile.
I can't transfer files over usb.
Wugfresh's toolkit couldnt return it to stock.
I thought the recovery might have gotten messed up when I tried to flash CWM touch, so I flashed TWRP from Wugfresh's toolkit.
I used adb sideload to flash a stock rooted rom.
It still took forever to boot, and is still not connecting to wifi/network.
TL;DR I can boot into fastboot and recovery and even the rom but I have no network connection... help guys :'(
It says BASEBAND VERSION - N/A... could that be the problem? If so, how do I fix it?
This is why we don't use toolkits. Return to stock using ADB and do it again...

When I try to fastboot flash the stock image it says "does not contain recovery.sig" "does not contain boot.sig" and only updates the bootloader.

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!

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...
Hi,
My Nexus 7 3G 2012 was rooted, stock rom 4.3 but I've deleted some APK in the system partition. Now my Nexus 7 received an OTA update for the KitKat. What is the quickest way to safely update to the 4.4 while maintain all of the installed apps and userdata?
Thanks
1. Download the official KitKat image files from Google
2. Extract system.ing and boot.img from it
3. boot into bootloader
4. fastboot flash system system.img
5. fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. reboot your system

Tks for your reply.
So all data and installed apps will be inact?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Yes, I am doing it always in that way, because I have a rooted system and normally there are often problems with applying the OTA. Flashing boot and system will keep your data and apps which are located on the data partition. If you want to be really sure to have a clean system, I would also flash a custom recovery, boot directly into recovery and wipe dalvik-cache, but this is not really needed.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
This is interesting and really new to me.
Could you please precise, which tools you use? A little how-to would be very helpfull to get along with the bunch of possibilities coming with TWRP and/or wugfresh´s toolkit.
I am using no tools / toolkits as I want to have full control on the flashing process. Probably you might want to have a look at my blog. Here I described the update process already some time ago (not to go to 4.4, but the steps and the mechanism are the same).
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Ok tks for your response.
However my friend confirmed that he updated successfully to 4.4 via OTA while rooted.

I have used this method every update. Only takes about 5 minutes.
It amazes me all the convoluted methods and bricked devices that you see, when if people would do a little research and had a little understanding of what they are doing it would save them a lot of grief.
All I can say is thanks to the person who wrote this simple how-to.
Now I will get off my soap box.
Hi there, I'm currently rooted with 4.2.2 and I want to upgrade to the latest which I believe is 4.4.2, after a brief check I don't see the toolkits supporting this so can someone give me a clue on what to do? Is it upgrade to 4.3 then 4.4 and finally 4.4.2 or can I just jump from my current to 4.4.2?

If your on stock ROM and kernel and recovery just check for updates under about tablet system updates. If your running a custom ROM or kernel then you'll want to get to stock first. Also you can just download the factory image and adb flash it. Just search how to install 4.4,2 factory image with adb on nexus 10. There's plenty of guides.

Just update and root again. It takes a minute using one of the toolkits. Or you can just flash the super su zip which is even quicker if you have a custom recovery. Either way it's easy and quick

I can't use system updates, it won't restart after counting down from 10 it just hangs there. I also don't think the toolkits have 4.4.2, I'm pretty sure I downloaded the right files, I just don't know the commands to use in CMD.

Wugs toolkit has it.
Extract it and put it in the correct folder with Fastboot capabilities and use the commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this'll give you stock recovery)
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (only do this one if you want to completely reset and delete everything on your internal SD card. Don't do this step of you want to keep your files like pictures and music on SD card)

Okay, going to try Wugs. Ah, I'm mistaken then, I just have the factory image and update superSU zip files.
See this is what I don't get, it asks me my build, which is 4.2.2. And then asks to download the image, but I want 4.4.2 so do o just change it to that?

Yeah. Choose 4.4.2. Asking your build is just so when you flash kernnel and recoveries it flashes a compatible one. But since your just flashing stock images. Just do that. But again remember it'll wipe everything so backup your SD card to a computer first

If you use Wigs toolkit you can flash the new update if you do a complete restore with in root. Then you can re root. Just go to flash stock + unroot then click the images drop down down box. Pick the mantaray-manta : android 4.4.4- build KOT49H then click the button that shows automatically download. After install re root and restore. Backup everything first it makes a quicker restore.

First, go download the image:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
While that is downloading, make a new folder on the desktop and name it FLASH, also for extracting the file once it is downloaded I reccomend total commander:
http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
Also head over to here to download adb and fastboot without the android sdk:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1MWexkzYR_bV2VlaF9UcHVBU00/edit?usp=docslist_api
Once the zip file with adb and fastboot is downloaded extract the files into the FLASH folder. Now that we've done all this the image should be downloaded, extract the contents to the FLASH folder. Now open up command prompt. In command prompt type the following(excluding the quotation marks):
"cd C:\Users\*username*\Desktop\FLASH"
*username* Is the name of the user. Now turn off your device then boot your device into fastboot mode(hold the power+volume up+volume down buttons) once your device is in fastboot mode connect it to your computer. In command prompt type(again excluding quotations):
"fastboot devices"
After that you should see your nexus device in fastboot mode, if you have no important data and don't care about losing everything(me) you can just type this in command prompt(no quotations):
"flash-all"
But if that does not work or you do have important things, type:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”
