Dear people,
Aparently yesterday I installed the wrong Kernel (Hells Doctor) in my nexus 4, so I couldn´t get wifi. Since then, everything has gone wrong. I installed Nexus Toolkit, but everything was dependant on having the drivers installed at my PC. I tried all driver installation methods suggested in the Toolki: unistalling driver, installing from Google and other places, erasind the USB drivers and installing them again, MTP on/off, debugging on/off, but no sucess. I tried to flash another ROM (SlimRom Mako) on my phone directly, but couldn´t install, it would give error 7 as if it were the image of another mobile phone.
I have tried reflashing, changing the kernel, etc, but now I end in a bootloop were it reboots always into the recovery mode, no matter what I do.
I would greatly appreciate any solution!
Thanks!!
So what exactly is the problem? Cant you connect your device to your pc or cant you flash any rom? Did you already do a full wipe and go with the factory image?

I'm having one heck of a problem here. So I've got my Nexus 7, on stock Android, but rooted and unlocked.
I wanted to try Paranoid Android, so I installed the TeamWin Recovery using the Nexus Root Toolkit, then flashed the ROM and wiped cache/dalvik. I tried to boot into the new ROM, but it just stayed on the boot animation. So I looked up the issue, and the solution seemed to be return to stock Android, then flash Paranoid Android again.
So I tried to use the 'Flash Stock and unroot functionality' of the Nexus Root Toolkit, which proceeded fine until the copying of 'system' onto the device... This lasted for about an hour without progress, so I decided to try again with a different version of stock Android. This too didn't work.
So then I (foolishly) rebooted the tablet. But when I got back to fast boot, it didn't show up in Windows (on either of the two machines I have here, and with two cables that have both worked previously, in multiple USB ports). The specific error is that it shows up as an unknown device (which is fine) but also in the device manager there is error 43, which states that the USB has malfunctioned so it has stopped.
For that reason, it's impossible for me to connect it to a computer or even re(install) the proper drivers for it. And as it doesn't have a working OS, i can't get to ADB either. So right now I can't think of anything that will work - no fast boot, no recovery, no connection to a PC.
Any ideas?
Really, no ideas? Come on XDA Developers, you're my only hope <3

Hi guys,
I have a massive problem.
I recently updated to 4.3 rooted etc, after a few days of not using my nexus 7 on the pc I wanted to flash a new rom.
Now my N7 is only shown as an "Unknown Device" in my Device Manager.
I tried to deinstall Drivers, install, everything, I tried every possibilty in Wug's toolkit, nothing worked. I also tried it on another Notebook where i have never connected any mobile device, same message and i'm not able to install the drivers.
I also tried several ports and cables(the original one included)
Here is the message:http://i.imgur.com/tgxOeZQ.jpg
Translation: The optimal driver software for your device is already installed.
After this I flashed back to 4.2.2 (downloaded the rom on my N7) while performing a normal factory reset, I can't wipe everything because then I am not able to flash anything.
So after flashing to 4.2.2 my N7 was shown as a portable device in my device-manager. I then turned on USB-Debugging to stock+unroot, it was then shown again as a Unknown device, in both modes, USB-Debugging turned Off and On.
So now my question, is there a solution to this? I searched for possibilites to get back to stock without USB but most of them were a bit sketchy or had dead links. Please help me (sorry for my bad english)
Edit:
I just the cable of my old Motorola Defy, and it randomly connects and disconnects(still shown as unknown), so basically I think it is possible that my USB plug is broken(it takes about 6 hours to load the battery which I think might be as well a reason for a broken USB plug).
But to send it back to Google I need to Stock Unroot first so here my problem is again!
greetings
Hi guys,
this is my first post here, so please be tolerant.
I have a Nexus 4 that is rooted and bootloader unlocked. Today I made the mistake to start the OTA update for version 4.4 and after that it was not able to restart, only showing the "Google" sign.
So I wanted to use adb sideload, but the device is not able to connect to my computer. The problem is that it is classified as "unknown device" and therefore it cant communicate. I already tried to reinstall the SDK and PDAnet driver, but the problem is that the the device is still unknown.
I already tried it with different pc and also with uninstalling all drivers, still no success.
I also tried the factory reset from the recovery manager, but it had no effect.
For now I am able to start fastboot mode, but as I already said I have no chance to communicate with the device.
Hope you guys here have some more ideas.
Ok, here goes my story.
Just a week ago from the date this was posted, I decided to update my recovery (TWRP) through ROM Installer. Surprisingly, I didn't see TWRP at all in the "Recoveries" section of the application. Stock, ClockworkMod Touch, regular Clockworkmod (no touch), and unofficial Clockworkmod were available - from what I can remember. I decided to use Clockworkmod (no touch) to install Paranoid Android. Coming from OmniROM, I factory reset and flashed the .zip.
Flashing ended in error with Status 7. A while before I had used ClockworkMod Touch to try another ROM and had no such issue. I ignored the error and restarted my tablet hoping that it would still boot fine. It rebooted, gave me the Google logo for about 5-10 seconds and automatically rebooted into recovery.
I saw a bypass for Status 7. Removing some lines from the updater-script was the solution. Having no access to my Nexus 7 storage, this bypass is unusable
I tried flashing a new recovery using flashboot fastboot. After verifying that I had my drivers installed (Universal ADB by Koush), I opened up adb in the command line (Windows) as an administrator. I could not see my device. I tried the drivers from Asus, multiple USB 2.0 ports, and a different USB cord, but same results. I tried on a different computer. Still no detection.
Systems used: Windows 8.1, Windows 7 (x64), Windows 7 (x86)
I tried using Wug's Toolkit and used Flash Stock + Unroot, since it didn't need USB Debugging enabled. Same results...
I also tried plugging in another Android phone (LG Optimus Dynamic II) to see if Windows would recognize it. Windows recognized it, installed drivers automatically, and was recognized in ADB immediately. This practically unknown phone (XDA doesn't have a section for it yet) could be recognized, but my world famous Nexus 7 2012 can't be seen.
I have absolutely no idea of what to do now...
Are you on the bootloader screen when trying to use fastboot?

Yes. Every time I use fastboot, I am in the bootloader.
I'm not new to this at all, so say whatever you need to ^^
The main problem is my PC not recognizing my Nexus 7 through adb. Again, I have used multiple cables with no success.
The computer I am using for this runs Windows 7 x64. I have only tried using USB 2.0 ports to connect my tablet.
Thank you!
Might try deleting the drivers and starting over. I had some issues with adb drivers for both the N7 and the kindle fire on windows 7 as well, but eventually got both working by doing this several times.
I'm assuming you ticked the option for softbricked when trying the flash stock option? If not try again and check that option.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 has a section on driver installation with good info and links too.
Hope that helps. Best of luck man, getting the adb drivers working properly seems to be finicky sometimes in my experience, and i'm no stranger to PC and software troubleshooting either.

Thank you so much for all of this! I'll need all the luck I can get...
By the way, I checked that softbrick option ^^!
Had some great help already but still stuck. Here is the situation. Fully wiped my Nexus 4 and now I have no OS. No backup. Nothing. Phone will not connect to ANY computer I have tried. Used Wugs Toolkit to double and triple check drivers on three computers and still the phone does not connect. Is there ANY possible way to install a rom or stock on this phone without being able to get a computer to recognize it? I have access to TWRP but there is NOTHING to install or restore. HELP!
