Flashed TWRP. Went to reboot, and it asked me to flash Super SU to root.
So I did, now it's stuck in a boot loop.
Also when starting the phone I get a message saying 'your device is corrupt'.
Any ideas?
Can you still get into bootloader?
As always , not bricked , not even close .
Your bootloader is fine , flash the factory image

i did this same thing, i cant copy the stock rom over in twrp so i am stuck. guess i got a bunch more reading to do, i am trying to figure out how to flash the rom through adb.
edit: i used the skipsoft toolkit and reverted back to stock everything went smoothly.
Go to twrp format user data by wipe data and user data. Reboot recovery and install a kernel with out force encrypted or install the new twrp and should be OK

If you can't adb in recovery is a driver issue. Download the koush version and uninstall the Google drivers. It will work.

Okay guys, this is another one of those unbrick threads. I have been installing roms and kernels quite a lot recently, but I recently came into a problem. I hit wipe sd card, and it wiped all of the roms, and apps from the device. I basically have nothing installed. I do have twrp, nexus root toolkit, and adb though, so what should I do? Thanks
Try returning to stock. That also happened to my friend who has TWRP. It seems like TWRP screws up a lot of peoples devices. He had an S2. He just returned to stock and reflashed CM10 and it was fine. Now he is a CWM user.

How would I re install those roms though, it even deleted the backups . I have adb but no fast boot
Adb push a rom.zip to /sdcard then install it from recovery
Sent from my Nexus 7
Don't I need fastboot for that?
Also left recovery and now the hardware keys don't work but adb still does, so I don't know if I can get back in to recovery
Download your stock ROM, and reflash it.
You will get a ton of thanks if you can walk me through it .
The keys probably don't work while in the bootloader because of the stupid bug, connect it via USB and it probably will. You can use adb while the device is booting up (or stuck halfway booting up) or you can use fast boot from the bootloader to bring it back to stock. Check the unbrick threads for instructions on how to do it.
Just get Wug's toolkit and click on the "Flash Stock And Unroot" Button.

Hey I rooted and unlocked my nexus to try cyanogenmod... I don't want to keep it because my phone doesn't have a stable release and the experimental crashes very frequently.. I have a few questions -
How to flash return to stock android but rooted and unlocked?
Can a rooted and unlocked nexus do OTA updates? If not, how should I go about them?
Thanks,
U çan download and flash the stock rim available for ur device...
Whenever an update is available u can't update directly due to unlocking bootloader...
so u can get the update here in ur development thread easily...

Google nexus 4 factory images, then download them from Google. Unzip and flash each .img to its respective partition using fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
That will explain how to flash factory images. Do this and you'll return to stock.
Once you get back to stock you can boot into twrp 2.5.0.0. Personally I like to simply stick with stock recovery and only boot into custom recovery with fastboot when I need to flash something. I find that doing it while in front of my PC helps me to take my time and do things right versus keeping custom recovery on the device and trying to do things on the fly. But that's just me. Anyhow...boot into twrp and when you go to the reboot tab and try to reboot it will say that it sees your device is not rooted and will ask if you want the recovery to root for you. Done.
Also, once you flash all factory images you'll likely have to use the factory reset option through recovery before it will actually boot. If you don't you'll probably bootloop and you'll also likely lose half your memory. So flash the images and before you "fastboot reboot" you should fastboot boot recovery and factory reset using twrp and that will allow it to reboot properly and not get stuck in loop.

Unlocked boot loader does not block ota in any way (at least not on nexus). If he is stock ROM with unlocked boot loader and stock recovery he will update just fine. Root could potentially be lost I suppose but that's hit or miss.
I typically keep stock recovery only and simply fastboot into a custom recovery if I need to so I'm not sure if you can OTA with a custom recovery but I don't think you can.
But point is that stock ROM stock recovery unlocked boot loader will update just fine.

This poster is correct. Unlocked bootloader blocks nothing. To get back to stock, download the stock image directly from Google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. YES you will lose root, however, will lose root when you update 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 or when we go 4.2.2 to 4.3. However, in the Play store is a neat little called OTA RootKeeper that allows you to "backup" your root access and after the OTA is done, it easily "restores" root. It works great!

Flashed Paranoid Android 3.98 and when i rebooted it, it put my Nexus 4 into a boot loop so I decided to wipe the system.(not knowing it will wipe stock rom) So now i am stuck in TWRP, with no rom and nothing to flash except for paranoid android 3.98 but it is a bad file. i am now trying to adb sideload carbon rom, but in the command prompt when i type in adb sideload CARBON-JB-v1.8-mako.zip, it says it can't find it. Why is that? and it would be helpful to give a step-by-step and detailed process on how to push files into nexus 4 using adb sideload and twrp.

Here's a post from rg1003
Detailing his steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51861548
Thanks for this ROM - my install went very smoothly. In case it helps anyone here is what I did - none of it required fastboot or adb:
Stating Point: Skrilax's V8 Bootloader, Thor's 1.7.3 Recovery, Randomblame's 4.3 JellyTime Release 1 (great ROM BTW). All the needed files (new recovery, OmniIROM, gapps, SuperSU) downloaded to my external sd card.
Step 1: Reboot into existing recovery and flash Thor's TWRP rev 2.0 beta 1 recovery. Reboot and make sure I could load my existing JB ROM.
Step 2: Reboot into the new recovery, go to wipe menu and choose Factory Reset.
Step 3: Flash OmniROM from OP, reboot. I did not have the issues others are having and was able get into the new ROM in less than a minute.
Step 4: Enabled developer options so I could reboot from the power menu (not necessary but convenient), reboot into recovery and flash the minimal gapps from the link in the OP. Reboot and make sure I could still boot into OmniROM.
Step 5: Reboot into recovery one more time and flash SuperSU from the OP
I had some trouble getting into the play store at first, it seemed to hang but after two more reboots (after first reboot I was able to load the play store and after the second I was able to access my apps) I was able to install TB so I could reinstall the rest of my stuff.
Maybe this methodical install one thing, reboot and make sure everything is working ok before rebooting to install the next is overkill but in the end it all worked for me.
Looking forward to using this ROM on my A500. Thanks again for all your hard work and keeping this tab alive!

Well I reinstalled W7 and everything went great until, I didnt follow directions on the rom I was trying to flash. I am ICS bootloader unlocked now and I have V8 installed but now I cant get into recovery. I am able to get in to a different menu which says I can boot into recovery but all it does is says booting recovery kernel image. I went in to fastboot mode and used fastboot command fastboot reboot recovery and it didnt work, I do have the drivers installed for fastboot but I think I am missing something small probably. Any help would be appreciated. I wiped system in recovery and flashed Evil Alex rom, then read the directions like an idiot, this is way different than all the phones.

So, I was running stock kitkat on a refurbished Nexus 7. After some months it just suddenly restarted and entered a bootloop. I can turn the device off and enter fastboot mode, but the recovery just seems to be broken. I've tried using the Nexus root kit utility, and "successfully" flashed 5.0.2. It said I should wait even more than 10 minutes, and that the device would seem to be on a boot loop (again), I let it do its magic all night but nothing happened. I unlocked the device and flashed 4.4.4 and I'm having the same problem, after "succesfully" flashing, the device enters the bootloop. Any ideas are much appreciated Thanks!

Don't really know, I downloaded it more than 6 months ago... I think I'll re-download it and give it a try, if it doesn't, I'll try the recovery you told me. Sorry for the late reply, I don't get much free time nowadays :/ And thanks for all your support, if this gets me to a fully operable Nexus 7, I'll definitely make sure to get you a coffee! Cheers!
---[EDIT]---
I tried twrp recovery, it installs successfully but it keeps getting in a bootloop :/ I'll re-download ADB, hopefully this will help 'cause I'm running out of solutions
