I tried to install a new rom after updating TWRP 2.3.0.0. after all was complete it stuck on the boot screen. I then tried with the Nexus Root Toolkit to use a restore from backup. Same problem. I then tried to flash stock and unroot. Same problem. I then tried a number of things through TWRP from backups I had their. Same problem. At present I have no OS and I can only boot into TWRP, turn if off or look at the GOOGLE screen. I have run out of ideas and would appreciate any help offered.
If you have tried everything else (flashing a ROM zip etc.) Then you should flash the factory image from Google.
Don't use the script/batch file as that will wipe your internal storage.
Just flash system and boot.

Sometimes a rom takes a long time to boot for the first time, please be very patient. Also, try wiping everything from /system, and then re install a custom rom from your /sdcard partition. also make sure your roms are for the nexus 7 not galaxy nexus or other similar devices. ONE MORE THING 4.1.2 wont flash with 4.1.1 bootloader.

I know many people hate the talk about toolkits but I was in the same situation and I used Wug's toolkit and it saved me. I downloaded 4.1.2 image directly from Google, as the toolkit only has 4.1.1.
I tried to return to stock on my own and it just went from bad to worse. I would of spent more time trying to fix it on my own but I was on a very tight time constraint. It will unroot your device but it is easy to root again.

THANK YOU the "ONE MORE THING" is all I needed to know for the same problem!
1) Used the toolKit to unlock Bootloader
2) install twrp using Toolkit
3) transfered AOKP rom to device using airdroid
4) Went to TWRP, System Wipe 3 times, Clear cache 3 times
5) attempt to flash AOKP ZIP
6) ZIP failed to install no idea why
7) Tried to restart and now stuck at the GOOGLE logo
Please help is there anything i can do?
Hmm could i use the toolkit to flash an img file? Im dling a stock img atm.
First off.. Don't panic ... It wasn't your fault it failed ... I know because it happened to me . don't get it from "downloads" or goomanager .. Get it from the second post I. That thread on the latest date
Second . I don't think otg works in twrp so you will have to use adb to load the ROM

OTG does work in TWRP. I have found that it doesn't like some flash drives - no idea why. I've tried quite a few, some of mine work all the time, other just won't work.

Ok went to twrp and used the ADB sideload feature but it said OTG cable fail to mount.
FIXED
WOOO FIXED IT NVM! Mod please delete thanks for help guys
Someone with more experience correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't we be avoiding wiping system in TWRP prior to flashing ROMs? I believe I read a thread (probably on RootzWiki) that said wiping system messes things up as you lose the ability to flash a ROM in the "traditional" manner. I wipe cache, dalvik, then click factory reset. I leave system alone and I've never had a problem with flashing ROMs.
I recently tried to flash PA on my nexus.
Installed cwm on my phone. Then downloaded the PA ROM and moved to the device storage.
Rebooted into CWM and performed all the wipes.
I accidentally wiped the system and the internel partitions too.
when i tried to install ROM from sdcard. it says "NO FILES FOUND"
Iam stuck here. Phone wont boot into Android... any suggestions? please help!
How did you wipe system within CWM?
But since you say you wiped internal partitions too, it seems to me that you wiped your internal emulated sdcard... so I think your only option now is to flash stock images again... Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
If you don't want to flash the stock images you can also push a rom to your phone with adb while booted in a custom recovery
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
Thanks guys. Found a solution.
Flashed TWRP and sideloaded the ROM file. And flashed it.
Earlier the same process with CWM was not successful. Now the phone is loaded with PA ROM!
Thanks guys! and can u point me to the google stock images??

wiped /system? have you tried simple re-flashing your ROM from the .zip ?
no worry... download the nexus 4 twrp latest img from their site, and flash it to your N4
what you needed:
twrp img file
some n4 rom
adb and fastboot
instructions:
boot to fastboot, vol key down + powerbutton when n4 is off.
on your comp, , dos/terminal - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
reboot in recovery
select the adb side load from advanced tab in the twrp.
on your comp - adb sideload rom.zip
everything done....reboot phone.

did you wipe using fastboot erase command? if so, you need to re-format to the android supported file system to access the partitions!
try installing the twrp recovery and perform 'FORMAT DATA' from wipe. then install ROM.
N4 no OS.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 4 and I have TWRP V 2.6.3.0 but I'm not sure how to push any rom to my phone because it's not showing up under my computer in Windows. How do I push roms to my Nexus 4? I'm stuck at the Google boot screen when I try to boot (Flashed Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, and normal cache) and I of course don't have any roms on my phone after I wiped all of the partitons.

Hey Xda, so I ran into a little problem earlier today.
After creating a backup on my PC with the nexus 4 root toolkit and rotting and flashing TWRP I attempted to install a rom but since it was my first time using TWRP (Im used to CWM) i accedently wiped my internal storage and my OS and now im stuck in TWRP since i have no OS to boot to.
Is there anything I can do or is all hope lost?
Thanks in advance

Yes, install adb platform-tools and push a rom to the sdcard: adb push namerom.zip /sdcard/. Or try TWRP sideload http://teamw.in/ADBSideload.

Just posted a good reply from someone on the Nexus 10 forums who did the same thing:
espionage724 said:
I tend to take a FAT32-formatted flash drive, USB OTG cable, throw a custom ROM, Kernel, and Gapps onto the flash drive's root, reboot the tablet to TWRP, wipe everything (except USB OTG) and format data, reboot back to recovery, and then install ROM, Gapps, and Kernel (in that order).
In other words, if you have a flash drive and OTG cable, you can recover your device pretty easily If you don't have these though, you can adb push the zip's over to /sdcard I believe; it's been awhile since I've done this.
If you want to go back to factory stock, you can grab the latest factory image from the link shimp208 provided, and should be able to run the flash-all.bat included (may have to have platform-tools in PATH if running Windows, or cd into the folder).

Edit: I'm not entirely sure how USB OTG is on the N4 though. If it doesn't work, then adb push should be fine.

Interesting, This is indeed a truly "clean install". Any idea if this method would this work in CWM. Sorry to OP for jacking your thread.
I myself have done this before, I hope you get through it. Goodluck
Everytime no matter what ROM I flash on this tablet I just get a bootloop and then I can't do anything in recovery like mounting SD card for instance.
I'm not completely new to this game, I have a nexus 5 that I'm always playing with and never had problems like this with the s3 or HTC one x. Could I be over looking something? Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
Cheers
Anyone?
I have a similar problem. I flashed ParanoidAndroid yesterday and everything seemed okay but now everything I try to launch or install an app the tablet reboots, and I tried to flash cyanogen, flash stock, do all the wipes and factory resets but always reboots to the damaged Paranoid Android ROM.
Reformat /system /cache /data
Then use a otg cable with a USB drive with the ROM you want
Mount in recovery then flash

In my case, reformat, wipe or erase from adb does absolutely nothing, so I don't know how properly erase all the content of the internal storage.

I have flashed many times before, always using the installed TWRP, with any problems, and I have booted temporary recoverys before with any issue. The recovery runs without problems, but when the device reboots, all remains the same.

Yes, with the Succesfull text and all but when I reboot the ****ing Paranoid Android stills appears. I also tried with Adb Sideload, but failed because an error in the footer, although I downloaded it from google one time and from Wug Toolkit another; also the wipe from the stock recovery loaded by Wug Toolkit didn't work.
