Edit: Didn't mean to post this but since it's here... Anybody have a quick fix for no OS install but won't mount to push new file to tab?
Told you not to use the toolkit.

Try disabling Android Debugging or mount USB in custom recovery.
Or since you just want to transfer a file from PC to N7 try AirDroid.

Can you boot into fastboot mode? Flash the stock images via fastboot.

Yeah, that's what I'm attempting now
Edit: Attempted to push and gave me an error while copying over... grrr. First time ever having issues rooting anything and i've worked on 20+ devices. I feel like a n00b all over again.
Edit 2: My friends computer was in read-only mode. I think i've finally found the issue... after 1 hour lol
Edit 3: No luck... *sigh* I think my brain has shut down for the day
Edit 4: Finally got device to mount, all is well again
So here is my dilemma. I was having problems with my Google apps for whatever reason. Manually updated to 4.2 and still has the same problems. Did a factory reset and the problems went away. Decided I wanted to get rid of root and relock the bootloader since I'm going to give her thus one because I'm upgrading to the 32GB model. Wanted to get rid of the superuser icon in the app drawer mainly. I went to googles site and downloaded the factory images for 4.2. Used it in conjunction with the nexus 7 toolkit. Long story short for whatever reason the process didn't complete. Pretty sure I don't have a factory image at all at this point. I tried to use the nexus 7 toolkit but of course now it won't see my device. My tablet is still unlocked. I'm assuming I'm going to have to manually push the image to the phone. If any body can start me off in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. Especially if someone were able to provide links to the info I may need. In the mean time I'm looking around on Google. Haven't found anything concrete yet. As a side note if anyone could tell me how to actually turn off the tablet do I can preserve the battery it would be appreciated. I can only get it to show fast boot mode or the Google screen. Can't power down.

Dunno... after trying to update yesterday, twrp, cwm, stock wasn't having it, had to put stock boot loader back on, everything wiped, not a problem....nandroid backup....toolkit shows it working but nothing, toolkit said everything was there....only unlock and root worked, everything else was borked.
And I had to use Windows for the tool kit. Doh.
Toolkit has been a bane for me, finally got 4.2 using root keeper.
Off-topic.... maybe.
Lesson learnt... definitely.
Motorola Atrix (AOKP JB)
Nexus 7 (Stock+ Root)
Desire HD ~ overheating rebooting.

Hi I have a problem with my Nexus 7 (32 gb wifi only version).
My son in his infinite wisdom decided to install ubuntu on the tablet.
I went to try and restore this back to the android version but all it did was to wipe off ubuntu itself
I then went on jayceooi.com and used the nexus toolbox to see if I could reflash the images etc.Howveer although all the files were downloaded I canot get the laptop to recognise the nexus itself (even though it sems to charge the tablet). There is no menu at all to check whether or not usb debugging is ticked or not..
Im now left with the tablet without no apparent operating system. At the moment all it shows is the green android with fastboot mode but when I hit start it says booting failed.
Could someone help please before I do any more damage and I brick it completly (although I may have already done so)
thankyou for any help

Yes it can do restore back to stock. Just follow the guide to unlock bootloader so it can flash stock image then just re lock bootloader. It covers the process in op.

Ok thanks all. Seemed to be doing everything ok but its been stuck on"waiting for your device to finish booting back up" for about 30 minutes now. It did say it would take 5 to 10 mins but should i carry on waiting or abort and start again do you think?
thanks
I would reset it see if that helped

If your son re did the partitions for Ubuntu that could have messed things up pretty good. I have only had my nexus for a few days so I couldn't tell you how to fix the formatting quite yet. I would search around on how to verify and correct the partitions if needed.

First off, I'm an idiot.
Nexus 4, 4.3 with Cyanogenmod. Working great until I decided to download Franco Kernel. I installed the latest then the colors inverted. I googled it and found out that the latest update didn't work well with Cyanogenmod and that #188 was the last that did work. I.. like an idiot decided to download and install #188 on top of #192 or whatever it was. Phone goes into **** mode, couldn't do anything on my phone without a popup telling me that android had stopped working so I decide to try factory reset, I don't know what I did wrong this time but now my phone won't even get passed the Google sign on boot up.
Bootloader and recovery still works. I cant push factory zip file to my phone without being in adb mode. What can and should I do?
Cheers

If you can get into recovery, my suggestion would be a FULL wipe. System/Data/Cache/Dalvik. Then start over from scratch!

If you can boot into recovery and/or the bootloader, half of your problem is solved. I'm not understanding exactly what is the problem. What I'm saying is, I fully understand what happens when you let the phone do its thing and it stayed on the Google logo, but what I'm NOT understanding is, you not being able to connect to the phone when it is in the bootloader.
Can you boot into the bootloader and connect to your computer?

You need to be in fastboot mode to push install a new rom. Press the vol+, vol-, and power.

Sounds like a driver issue. Try first uninstall present drivers, plug the phone back in and see if your computer will reinstall the drivers. Oh, before you do that, switch to mtp see what happens.

Yes I can boot into my bootloader and recovery, but not actual Android or whatever you would call it.. sorry.
Computer installed drivers automatically but I still can't see my phone under My Computer.
In CWRM what should be mounted/unmouted under "Mounts and Storage Menu"?
When you did a factory reset, did you do it from the settings on the phone or through recovery?

I wouldn't worry about the mounts and storage, but I do believe this is where you can mount USB. Try that and see if that works.

When I press mount USB storage nothing happens but the menu resetting, it doesn't change to unmount USB storage like the other options do either. I feel like this phone is a goner
I've tried to sideload factory 4.4 but it didn't work, I googled the error and people were saying that it doesn't work for rooted devices. I'd unroot though I'm just afraid that I would break something else.

It wouldn't change to unmount unless it was successfully mounted.
Phone might not be recoverable, but why not download and install NRT by WugFresh? At this point, it couldn't hurt. I would uninstall the first one you were using.

try to find universal naked drivers...smthng on that lines....n N4 is superb...its a Nexus...wont die soon
Recently, I try to root my nexus 4.
I follow different methods of root nexus 4 in the internet.
Problems occurs when I come to the step of backup my N4's data.
It said that My computer is 'unable to connect to my Nexus 4' so it cannot help me to backup.
I have install the ADB driver into the computer and I have tried to reboot my phone and computer for several times.
However, it is still fail.
What should I do?:crying:
I really hope that I can root my Nexus 4 to enjoy those amazing function.
Please, every great and intelligent memeber, help me if you can.

I never bothered attempting to back up apps and data from a non-rooted device but I'm sure there are ways
Contacts - gmail
Calendar - gmail
Photos/music/anything on SD - just transfer to pc
Call log and SMS - SMS backup +
Once rooted titanium backup will do all
To root, easy
fastboot oem unlock
Now either flash a custom recovery or boot one, for this phone I would use the latest twrp
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Or
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
I suggest to just flash it though for ease
Now flash either custom rooted ROM + gapps and anything needed
Or flash stock ROM and add superuser or supersu and busybox (easily flashable)
