In general section, there's wugfresh tool (Nexus ToolKit).
Download it and you just check, nexus is bricked+revert back to stock, click on it!
Let it do the magic! Done!
Thank @WugFresh and maybe support him by donating something for his awesome tools!

It's been a while since I installed a complete factory image but I'm pretty sure the no signature is normal and the install should start back up. Give it a few seconds it will continue! ; )

Yes, you can.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

FWIW, one can also boot (as opposed to flash) twrp if one wanted to keep stock recovery.
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
But yeah, if all you need to do is restore /system, just pull it out of the devices factory images and use fastboot to flash system.img.

[REQ] Stock recovery img

Does anyone have a backup of the stock recovery image in case anything goes wrong with flash CWM?
Thanks

That is a link to the stock recovery from ITL33d.
I have confirmed it can be flashed in fastboot to get back stock recovery after a failed attempt to load CWM.

What about ITL41D which is the more common retail version? Presumably it would need to be this for warranty purposes?
By the way, there is a post in the GN Developer section about "Insecure Boot.img" - which is a modified ITL41D boot image. According to that thread, modifying one value in that file will make it back to stock again but I cant figure out how to mount it and edit it as Im not a linux guru.
Would any of these help?

Take it will wipe the phone
Just tried Peter Alfonso's but it says theres no android-info.txt in the zip when there is :/
If its just the recovery.img you are after, extract from the zip then do fastboot boot recovery.img to test booting into it. If you are happy it works, you can do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

These commands wrt recovery.img do not wipe the phone but doing the whole system thing will. Please note someone elsewhere said they got into a bad state using peter alfonsos system.img so beware.

[Q] HELP!

I just got my new Nexus 7 2013 and was following to the T the rooting instructions provided by Philos64. I somehow ended up after installing TWRP with a stuck screen on the X. I tried to do a factory reset in TWRP, but my format fails. What are my options? Please help! This is the first time I have soft bricked any device I have rooted. I have the LTE version of this tablet.
I'd try to flash a ROM through TWRP. Although IDK if there are any LTE ones available.
Otherwise might have to go back and download and install a factory image.

Sideload a custom ROM or reflash stock JLS36C. Just having a custom recovery is not actually rooting.

Extract the images that I mentioned to your ADB folder.
Navigate CMD to your ADB directory.
Reboot into bootloader.
Execute the commands that I listed.

Rooting is just flashing a zip file in your recovery. Don't know how much easier it can get.

[TOOL]adb_pusher(for windows)

I've made this simple and small tool seeing some people have bricked their devices BUT are able to access TWRP.
For some reasons they don't use the usb_otg, might it be they don't have the otg cable or something other, doesn't matter.
Maybe they aren't familiar with command prompt(command line), adb etc.
Q) What does this tool do ?
A) It let's you choose the desired rom, then checks if the device is connected and finally pushes the rom.zip to your internal storage.
Q) What does this tool NOT do ?
A) It doesn't install the rom.
You may add comments, questions, requests or graphic_design_help since my gui sucks badly.
Some prerequisites have to be met, adb driver should be installed. If you have ever rooted successfully that should be covered then

Thx for comment m8 . It's a 1 hour project so it can only be expanded with more features (should come handy for new users i hope). I've already seen what I can improve..(well..like I said..1 hour project )
Though I don't have this device, i must say you have made life simple for many. Thank you bender.

Hmm. Depends on which version you had installed. I think TWRP supports OTG since 2.6.3.x (not sure which version)
Hmmm maybe... I had twrp 2.6.3 and as I was worried about the device I didn't know what am I doing. I downloaded all the rooms requiring latest twrp and those didn't flash... Then I thought about adb sideload which I had totally forgotten... Then I first updated recovery via sideload then flashed paranoid Android xD

Either a running android system with enabled usb debugging
or
just enter twrp recovery(you don't need to select adb sideload), just connect it while in twrp.

Will take a look into it. Might need some testers then and graphic designers so if the tool fails I can always say: "Yeah, sorry, but look at the graphics m8." jk

May be an option to dump baseband to sdcard can be added along with a way to backup efs partitions. That would prove gr8 for restoring jb from kk or flashing kk after jb @bender_007. Just a suggestion

Why **** around with an ota on a nexus device when you can get the whole images from Google?

You can't flash the ota, if you have a custom recovery installed. Get the stock images from Google servers and flash system, boot, recovery and bootloader.
Because I'm Rooted! Does that matter? So i extract factory image and flash through fastboot?

YES! Starting from 5.0, OTA WILL fail if there are any modifications to the phone!
@tyus2 I got it! I just use wugfresh! I was just looking for alternative because I didn't want to go through deleting drivers for my nexus 6 on computer. But I ended up doing that anyway lol
