Nexus 4 without OS and Windows does not recognize it - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a problem mangy enough, while I was going to flash the new custom ROM, I accidentally forgot to transfer the zip of ROM in internal storage and continue with factory reset.
Result: No OS installed.
The first thing that I have did is google, trying various solution like that, restore the stock ROM through Unified Android Toolkit,
unfortunately unsuccessfully due to the lack of the driver ADB and FASTBOOT.
But how I do install the driver whitout OS?
You experts, give me good hopes!
EDIT:
SOLVED:
adb push <romname.zip> /sdcard/<romname.zip>

[q] help adb, install rom and usb dbug

hello friends, my nexus 4 usb debugging was disabled when the device blew rom, however I can turn it back on bootloader
I tried to install another rom when just ruining what was already installed, then it is no system running.
I'm not consiguindo to flash any other rom via ADB and TOOLKIT, also tried to install the ROM from sideload and I got nothing.
Also tried to transfer files to install an internal memory via rom put the "push" command does not succeed, all options call for activation of usb debugging.
How do I fix this? Please if anyone knows help me!
What recovery do you have? And what version also could I ask what ROMs you flashed that made this happen?

You can fix all issues like this by flashing a stock rom. Download it straight from google https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.
Flash using "flash-all.bat" for it to work properly you must have the fastboot.exe in the same directory (or have added it to your path).

Nexus not recognized by Windows in bootloader mode: how to update from 5.0.1 to 5.1?

Hi,
here is the situation with my Nexus 4:
* Android 5.0.1
* rooted
* TWRP
* can't access via adb while in bootloader (I tried everything I found over the Internet... uninstall/reinstall driver, tried another port, another computer, another OS, etc.)
* device not recognized when I use the "ADB sideload" option of TWRP (In Windows device manager I see "Nexus 4" with a yellow mark but I haven't been able to find a driver for it)
I want to upgrade to Android 5.1.1 (and won't go further), but how?? since I can't do the OTA update (because of TWRP) and I can't flash the Google official image (since I can't access while in bootloader)...
I don't care if I need to wipe everything, my backups are up-to-date (nandroid + Titanium).
Does anyone has an idea?
I can access to my device from Windows via ADB commands only (not convenient but it works).
Thanks a lot.

Download wugfresh nexus root toolkit. Works flawlessly.
Edit: you may need to follow the driver install instructions!

thanks for your help. Before I saw your post I used Skipsoft toolkit. Seemed to work but now my device won'T boot, it's stuck in the lolipop animation boot. I switched it off many times, but still stuck. Maybe I should have used wugfresh toolkit. I'll give a try later. Thanks again.

Help install OxygenOS

Hey. I long story short - I have wiped OS, and the only thing that I can do is use fastboot and also install TWRP or stock recovery.
I found OxygenOS file, but cant install it as there are problems sideloading the file to the device, it looks like ADB drivers on PC are not recognizable. Can someone help me to get back OS? Thanks
Tried a lot of things but anyway nothing happens.

Push the OOS rom via usb to the phone, command: adb push namerom /scard
Next time check the drivers installation result first.
I wish I knew the reply above mine.
How I fixed my issue:
I installed the latest TWRP 3.1.1 in one of the installation guides on this forum for the OP5. Make sure you pick the version that is called the "last latest build". I was able to flash a full zip for 4.5.2 and it worked!

I had problems with ADB drivers, anyway got back to life:
1) booted to TWRP
2) adb push ".zip" /sdcard/.
3) tried installing it at TWRP, no success, so get back stock recovery and flashed the file there.
So my issue is resolved. thanks!

Stuck in Bootloop no OS, please help.

Hi guys,
I have been reading similar threads and trying to find a solution but could not find what could help and ran into other issues. Hope someone can help me fix this.
I was trying to flash a custom ROM. had the device unlocked and installed twrp using adb.
It was a mistake to not back up. I tried to flash the firmware + extendedUI rom + magisk. Only magisk gave some error.
tried to reboot and got stuck in bootloop. Entered Twrp tried to do it again so wiped data,system,cache and then realised my folder with the rom disapeared. So now no OS and not sure what to do.
I was trying to use adb sideload to push the new zips on the device but the sideload just disconnects at 8% Understood that might drivers might be at fault. . Been trying to find and update drivers and might have done some mistakes there, as chose to update unknown device automatically with device manager and now it disappeared as well.
I read about recovering with Miflashtool but got confused whether thats the right way.
I would prefer to install a custom rom like the ExtendedUI or AOSPextended.

Xiaomi Mi 9T Wiped Of All Software And Data Via TWRP But Can't Flash Pixel Experience

I accidentally wiped everything on my device when following a not-so-informative youtube video, it was my own fault for not questioning their steps at all, and I was going to install an update to Pixel Experience as it wasn't letting me do it normally. I have TWRP installed and I can boot into either that or fastboot manually but it won't let me transfer files from my PC onto my Xiaomi Mi 9T via Sideload, Mount, Drag and Drop, MTP is enabled and no other means I can think of work. Everything on my phone is able to be replaced as it was all in the cloud but I need my phone at the moment and from the research I've done I believe this should be a straightforward fix however, since I can't get the software onto my phone I can't boot to it. It also won't let me transfer the firmware required and so I get ERROR: 7 and "This package requires baseband from atleast V12.0.2.0.QFJMIXM. Please upgrade firmware and retry!" My PC recognises the phone is connected and can view the files on it but every time I try to drag anything into it it looks like it's going to work and then it just stops.
If you have any other information you require to assist me I will try to be as helpful as possible however, I am quite new to this so using laymens terms would be preferable.
Did you read the instructions on the pixel experience topic? First you need to flash the firmware package for your device from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/davinci/
Then flash the rom and format data. This should work.
I installed pixel experience this week and so far it is going well, I had to update from miui 11.0.1.0 android 9 to miui 12.0.3.0 so that ALL the system will be updated to android 10, and then I proceeded to install the pixel experience via twrp. Try to install Miui 11.0.1.0 and configure it, then from the system settings you look for the latest update, make sure the system has been updated to Android 10 before installing pixel experience. Try to use xiaomi flash tool to make a clear install

After "Format Data", you need to reboot your phone in TWRP to fix that.
