I just got a brand new Nexus 4 today and the first thing I tried to do was to update to the 4.3 Android version. I downloaded the factory image from Android.com. When I tried to run the flash-all.sh script I got this error:

Your bootloader seems like it's locked. You need to unlock it first with fastboot by running "fastboot oem unlock". Note that this will wipe all data on your device, which you probably don't mind since you just got the device.

Well, that seems to be your problem. Looks like you flashed the nexus 7 images on your nexus 4...not a good thing.
I would first try downloading the CORRECT images and flashing those.

Now the tablet is not recognized with adb devices!
Fastboot recognizes it as blah blah
I managed to get it working again , but it misses flo and tiltapia (or something) - I downloaded the wifi versions of the image , the latest versions.
Downloading nakasi earliest version - It is sending system , it should work.
I couldnt do adb reboot-fastboot so I manually refreshed the fastboot again and then it got detected
It finisehn , my tablet is back on life - I will leave this thread so others can see it. Thanks people for doing nothing!
I dont know why but I keep solving stuff myself without help on forums
Sorry couldnt post links
I used nakasi-jzo54k

[Q] Android 5.0 flash help

Hey guys I was on CM 12 latest stable I believe, and downloaded the Lollipop image from here : http://www.androidauthority.com/2012-nexus-7-wifi-lollipop-factory-image-566274/
It won't let me update, it's probably an easy fix but I'm not sure what file to flash. Running flash-all.bat runs and then says it's missing some files and that my bootloader is 4.18, instead of 4.23.
What's going on? I tried to download bootloader 4.23 and flash it myself but got this:
C:\Users\Nemesis\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools>f
astboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img

Nexus 7 (2013 Mobile) fails to boot; can't enter Recovery mode; flash write failure

My Nexus 7 (2013 Mobile) was rooted and updated to stock Android 6.0 a year ago, no 3rd party ROM/recovery is installed. Last week while checking emails, it rebooted suddenly then remained at Google letters and unlock icon, I can enter fastboot mode by pressing power and volume- buttons together, the last line shows status unlocked; then if select "Recovery mode", it reboots then shows a dead robot with an exclamation mark only. I downloaded the latest factory image "razorg-mob30x", connect it to my PC and enter adb command "flash-all.bat" (I modified the bat file by removing -w, so it won't wipe the user data), then it shows: FAILED (remote: flash write failure)

What else I can do to resuce my pad? Does this mean the memory is physically damaged?
Please advise. Your help is much appreciated.
