Anyone have any suggestions? Booting into recovery froze my device on the Google screen.

I suggest to install the Android ask and use the following fastboot commands.
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
*change recovery.img to whatever filename the recovery is and put it in the same directory as your fastboot.
This way you'll learn what a "rootkit" does and be on your way to learning more .

Fastboot mode within bootloader i believe.

I am in the bootloader. If I type fastboot devices in a command prompt, it returns my device. If I type fastboot boot recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.8.img, I get "cannot load recovery". This worked before. The .img is in the same folder as fastboot. How do I fix this?
Did you know there is a toolkit in the original development that does all of this with a few key strokes? All the scripts are written for you, all you do is type what you want....kinda like a multiple answer test.

Yes but this was always so simple to do. I found the issue.I had an extra recovery in there. The proper command is fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.8.img. Thanks.
Hi, i can't figure out how to boot a custom boot.img with fastboot on last bootloader.
I tried both
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
and
Code:
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot boot.img
but it won't boot, stuck on Google logo. I'm on stock 4.3 and I tried to boot also the boot.img I extracted from the factory image, same result. Please note that I was able to boot clockworkmod.img using the 2nd command.
Anyone has a solution?
But if you were able to boot the clockworkmod.img, you could only boot into recovery of course? And that worked?
Which other boot images did you try?

Yes, using fastboot I was able to boot only clockworkmod.img (obviously only boot into recovery), nothing else. Clockworkmod worked perfectly and I was able to flash SuperSU.
First I thought my custom boot.img was broken, so I tried the boot.img that I extracted from official factory image, but no luck.
I can't figure out...

fastboot boot boot.img works for me. Kernel/ramdisk compatible with your ROM?
Sent from my phone. Please forgive typos and brevity.
Problem half-solved. I noticed that the phone is actually booting, but the screen is blank... the strange thing is that if I flash the boot.img the screen works! The problem only happens when I try to boot with fastboot... anyone experienced this strange thing??
Stuck on google logo screen and then after 3 resets goes to CWM
I have only 1 rom on it the cataclysm rom and it gives an error when I try to flash it
I have no backup and no other rom besides this
noway either to put a rom on the Nexus 4.
LOL I am so screwed
I am currently in CWM and the PC won't recognize the device and there is nothing to do.
Please help.
Use fastboot commands to flash stock image....
Boot into fastboot and then connect n4 to your PC...run adb and type fastboot devices....
It will give you n4 serial no. And then flash stock image(Google how to flash stock image using fastboot commands)

YESSS it worked
OMFG thank you so much
So, one of my family members was mucking around on their tablet. I was sure that I has locked down the appropriate areas, but as of right now, I think I'm looking at a hard-brick. I'm not sure what kind of fastboot capabilities I have, turning it off, and on again boots to what looks like fastboot, but I have a Google splash screen. Using the vol up/down/pwr button does boot into fastboot, but I'm not sure what I have at my disposal for flashing. Any suggestions? I've just never seen anything like this before.
If you can boot into fastboot, it isn't a hard brick. A brick doesn't turn on.
Just try fastboot flashing the stock image on it from Google.

Another alternative would be to boot into recovery, if you can.
I assume you had twrp or cwm? If so, you could reflash the rom you're using. If not, you could install twrp from fastboot and then sideload a rom of your choice.

ADB push wasn't accepting anything. What I ended up doing, was using the Wug toolkit to force-flash a stock image. Still not sure what the hell happened, I'm just happy it works now.
Thanks for your help!

Fastboot and adb are not interchangeable.
Adb doesn't work in fastboot mode

Hi I've done stupid thing for myself:
i tried flashing 4.4.2 stock rom. coming from 4.2 (i think) did the usual format data/cache. then rebooted then it loops on google logo. I can go to recovery mode.
So are you rooted? Custom recovery? Looking to flash stock? What bootloader do you have? Ota flash? Fastboot flash?

I still cant get fastboot up. ive used minimal fastboot and/or SDK Package. also changed the path for environmental variables.
So more info will help, usually the more info you give the faster your issues can be fixed
Are you in bootloader mode? I take it your using windows, what version? Has adb or fastboot ever worked before? When you type
fastboot devices
You get nothing? Can you post a screen shot of terminal, of environmental variables? Are all proper drivers installed? Does anything pop up in device manager when tablet is plugged into USB while in fastboot, recovery or os? Are you using factory USB cable?

sorry about that.
im in fastboot mode with power and both volumes pressed. i can also go into recovery mode TWRP v2.5.0.0
also rooted and yes windows 7 64 bit. recovery mode or fastboot mode . it doesnt recognized my nexus.
not sure if i have the right drivers. i cant find any drivers to download for nexus 10
Does anything pop up in device manager when tablet is plugged into USB while in fastboot, recovery or os? - No
and yes im using nexus 10 OEM cable.
i really appreciate the time to help me out with this issue.
Its no problem,
The SDK should have the drivers you need, or you can install the universal drivers made by koush or a number of others as well. Just Google search or a search xda for terms like
Nexus 10 drivers
Universal android drivers
Android naked drivers
You will find many that will work just fine for you
If in cmd you type
fastboot
And you see a list of commands than you know you have it installed
When you type
fastboot devices
And you see your serial number your good, if just a blank line then you need to get tab to communicate, this is most often a driver issue. If you can't find ones that work let me know and I'll link some to you, also you may need to uninstall old drivers and than manually install new ones, windows doesn't always do the best job of picking the correct drivers

finally found the driver that works and now
i get R32D2009DAT
Im assuming thats serial number whats the next step
Google search
Android factory images
Here you will download the correct one, latest manta for the nexus 10
Then extract the contents of the zip
Now if you want to keep custom recovery that's a good idea but if you want KitKat you will need stock or at least update to the newest twrp (as you current one won't flash kk)
So if you want twrp then google search
Twrp recovery manta
And then find the latest image, 2.6.x?
Oh and its a good idea to check md5sum for both the zip from android source and for the recovery image, both will tell you what it should be in download screen and there are many ways to check, just google search
Windows md5
There is both official and none official, I personally use Linux command line and can't recall the name of the program I use for windows off hand
Also note that the following commands will wipe all from tablet, it is good to do this but if there is anything real important back it up first
Now from fastboot, enter these commands
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
Now find the bootloader image you extracted from the android .zip
fastboot flash bootloader nameofbootloader.img
Now if you want stock find the system image
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now find the twrp recovery image
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Here you can boot to new recovery and install superuser or just boot to pure stock, or if you want one of the many great custom ROMs you can boot to recovery and use adb sideload to flash one
