1. Download the 4.3 factory images for Takju from http://goo.gl/ABbAmc
2. Extract files using 7-zip on Windows (you need to extract twice and will get the files as: bootloader-xxx.img; radio-xxx.img and image-xxx.zip)
3. Copy these files to the location android-sdk/platform-tools/ (if you have the android-sdk installed or to the location where adb & fastboot is)
4. Plug in your Galaxy Nexus (ensure Debug option is enabled under Developer Settings
5. Follow these commands:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-xxx.img
c. fastboot reboot-bootloader
d. fastboot flash radio radio-xxx.img
e. fastboot reboot-bootloader
f. fastboot update image-xxx.zip
This would update your Galaxy Nexus from Stock 4.2.2 to Stock 4.3 without losing any data/apps
Note:
1. If you using Windows follow the video tutorial to setup adb and fastboot http://goo.gl/jGcic
2. If you are on Mac, use ./ before the commands for execution
Note 2: With this method you don't need to remove the userdata.img as the command "fastboot update image-xxx.zip" does not touch the userdata on your device.
*Disclaimer: I have followed the above to the T and moved from Stock 4.2.2 to Stock 4.3 with Unlocked Bootloader, but you follow these at your own risk.
I have lost my data.

If you follow the steps as they are apps/data stays intact.... Unless you had a locked Bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader formats the complete storage. Else the command to remove the complete userdata partition is : fastboot update -w image-xxx.zip

Flashed it with Mobile ODIN
I flashed it with Chainfire's MobileODIN. No problems with updating to 4.3 but lost root (everoot in Odin would not stick). Wiped data is not an issue as I backed it up. Will same root method as before work? Or do I need to wait for new method?

Root for 4.3 is currently Work In Progress... Chainfire is working hard to resolve the challenges...
Soon it'll be rooted
is this only work for takju ?
@artlogics Follow the same for Yakju too..just download the appropriate Factory Image from Android Developers...
Root is finally available for 4.3 by Chainfire...

It could be due to corrupt adb/fastboot files. Try downloading a minimal packaged adb/fastboot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269 and see if that helps. I don't have a windows machine to test it... but i have used something similar on mac too

Few more questions:
1. Is your bootloader Locked (do you see a lock under Google when you turn your phone On)
2. Under Settings>Developer options> USB Debugging (do you see a check mark)
3. Have use used adb/fastboot before
4. Share a large screen shot for proper view.

I have rooted my device using towel root which doesn't unlock the boot loader. I then used the twrp manager to install custom recovery. I am wondering how to restore everything back to factory as all the tutorials I have seen so far require an unlocked boot loader. Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

If I download a stock image from google and flash it from my nexus 7 using twrp will everything be restored to factory settings?
If the boot loader is locked does that mean I can just do a normal factory reset on the device and it will remove the recovery and root?
fastboot

you have to install stock ROM by adb mode using fastboot command
you can't flash stock ROM via custom recovery.

Would you mind finding a link for me ? I have never encountered this before as I have always unlocked the bootloader to root but this time I used towel root which was different as explained above.
Doesn't the boot loader have to be unlocked to flash a ROM via adb?

nope,
Step 1: Download the ADB/Fastboot files and the
USB drivers for Windows based PC first. The the
latest factory image for your Nexus device can be
downloaded directly from Google’s website .
ADB/Fastboot – Mac , Windows
USB drivers for Windows
Extract the contents of the ADB/Fastboot ZIP file
inside a new folder called ‘google’ on your desktop.
Extract and transfer the contents of the factory
image inside this folder as well. The list of files will
include a ZIP file containing the codename of your
Android device, two files with “flash-all” names, and
a bootloader image file. All the extracted contents of
the factory image should be inside the same folder
as the ADB and Fastboot file, otherwise you will get
a file not found error.
Make sure to install the ADB drivers as well if you
are running a Windows based PC.
Step 2: Now, reboot your Nexus device in bootloader
mode. This is usually done by switching off the
device, and pressing the Volume down + Volume Up
+ Power button simultaneously. If that does not
work, try the Volume down + Power button
combination.
After the device has booted into bootloader mode,
connect it to your PC.
Step 3: Open a new Terminal or Command Prompt
window, and navigate to the ‘google’ folder that you
created in Step 1. Before we start flashing the
factory image, we need to make sure that your
Nexus device is being detected by the PC.
fastboot devices
If you are using a Mac, then you need to prefix a “./”
before every Fastboot command. So, the above
command will look something like this on a Mac -:
./fastboot devices
The above command should confirm if your device is
indeed being detected by your PC or not. If it is,
then proceed to the steps below. If not, repeat the
steps above again. Make sure that you have properly
installed the drivers and are inside the correct
folder.
If you are running Windows, copy-paste the following
command in the command prompt window -:
flash-all.bat
On a Mac, copy-paste the following command -:
./flash-all.sh
The script will then automatically flash the full
factory image on your Nexus device. Once the
factory image has been flashed, your device will
automatically reboot. Keep in mind that the first boot
might take some time so please be patient.
If the flash-all.sh script gives you a fastboot not
found error on your Mac, open up the file in Text Edit
and add a “./” before every fastboot command.
The flash-all script included in the factory image
might not work for all. It has always been pretty
unreliable and has only worked once for me in the
last 2 years. If you are in the same boat as me, you
will have to flash each partition manually on your
device. This is slightly cumbersome though.
The command to manually flash a partition via
fastboot is “fastboot flash partition filename.img”. In
the factory image that you extracted in Step 1, you
will notice there is another ZIP file. Extract the
contents of that ZIP file inside the ‘google’ folder.
Now, its time to manually flash the partitions to your
Nexus device. We will first begin with the bootloader.
fastboot flash bootloader filename.img
Then, we will flash all other partitions. They don’t
necessarily need to be in the same order as I have
listed them below. The names of the image files in
the factory image will clearly indicate the partition
they are intended for as well.
fastboot flash boot filename.img
fastboot flash radio filename.img
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
fastboot flash userdata filename.img
fastboot flash system filename.img
Thank you very much I will try this today.
I couldn't flash all and when I flashed the bootloader it came up with failed bootloader is locked?
Enter this command to unlock the bootloader:
fastboot oem unlock
After unlocking, you can run flash-all.bat (or run manual fastboot commands to flash).
Hi--
I could use some help. I have the rooted stock and installed a new boot animation. Now the phone will not boot. It stays in the boot animation. It does not bootloop. It booted fine prior to the bootanimation.zip replacement. I cannot ADB into the phone to delete the zip but I do have fastboot. Tried to install TWRP to flash a new bootanimation.zip to fix, but TRWP install fails (permission denied). I completed the Asus bootloader unlock to get root.
What can I do?
Thanks--
do you unlock bootloader ?
try to fastboot
use adb command "fastboot flash recovery name.img" to install twrp
Thanks for the reply. I do have a fastboot connection, but it errors when trying to flash recovery:
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Permission Denied)
finished. total time: 0.906s
I know the BL is unlocked as that's how I rooted it an hour before this happened.

USB debugging should be active but I cannot verify since it will not boot. Yes, I used the Asus app to unlock the BL. How would doing a Factory Reset help if the error is in system, not data?

Thanks. Couple of questions. Where do I adb sideload from? When the phone is in stock recovery or BL/fastboot screen? I've tried to ADB from BL/fastboot screen and I don't have a connection.
Also--which stock ROM do I use? The WW version as I only see a JP, CN, TW and CUCC versions...no US specific version. WW is the right ROM for US?

put your phone in recovery then select adb option (if you dont know how. google how to get in recovery zenphone 2)
put the stock rom in folder adb
then you can use this command
you can check your version on fastboot screen
i think US = WW

if you wanna do sideload first you need Asus Zf 2 firmware --> http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/ download the same firmware installed in your phone (settings-->about phone--> see the build number--> that's your firmware) or you can see it when you on recovery mode (ww=worldwide, so US is ww).
download fastboot_adb (1.0.32) --> https://www.mediafire.com/folder/w70w7r1a65840/Zenfone_2 and the unzip the file, copy/put Asus Zf 2 firmware that you have download into fastboot_adb (1.0.32) folder ( you can rename Asus Zf 2 firmware with "file" name or you can leave it that way)
go to recovery mode--> select apply update --> select apply update from adb
open fastboot_adb(1.0.32) folder --> hold shift + right click --> select open command windows here --> type adb devices
--> type adb sideload file.zip ( or you can just drag Asus Zf 2 firmware ) --> wait till it finish flashing --> when it done reboot
Thanks for all the help here. I was finally able to side load the ASUS ROM and I'm back in business. All due to a bad Boot Animation ZIP!!??!!
I had trouble because adb would not do the push/install anything due to a bug in HTC Sync, which I still had installed from an old phone. Apparently, they have a custom DLL/library that breaks adb. Once I got rid of Sync, I was able to push the ROM a over and was back in business. Thanks again for the help.

you should on recovery mode to do sideload, also in my experience i never succeed apply update from adb using teamwin, that's why i always go back to stock recovery if i want to update through adb sideload, but to get stock recovery you have to go back to stock Rom, you need stock Rom and fastboot_adb(1.0.32) ( i already give links to get those files in the comment before) download the stock rom (choose 1 for ex: Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139) unzip that file ectract to Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139, you should have the following files: system.img, boot.img, droidboot.img and recovery.img. connect your phone to pc/laptop, open cmd on Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139 folder by press and hold Shift keyboard key+right click (select open command windows here), In the cmd window enter the following command: “adb reboot bootloader”, Next, in the same cmd window, type the following commands (press enter after each line): “fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img”; “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”; “fastboot flash boot boot.img”; “fastboot flash system system.img”. (i will provide you a picture when i'm doing that), when done, still on cmd execute the following commands: “fastboot format userdata” and “fastboot format cache”. up to here it's done you can reboot your phone, if you want to update the simple way just copy firmware file you want to update to internal storage and remove usb cable it will auto detect an update, but if you want to do update using adb sideload after format cache do not reboot phone just go to recovery mode(by pressing vol button twice), select apply update from adb, on pc open fastboot_adb(1.0.32)_071114_r21 folder, put firmware you want to update in this folder (ie : UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.168-user), open cmd on fastboot_adb(1.0.32)_071114_r21 folder by press and hold Shift keyboard key+right click (select open command windows here), In the cmd window enter the following command: "adb devices" it should show you devices no and sideload, in the same cmd window, type the following command: "adb sideload file.zip" wait till it done, when it done reboot your phone.
Hey buddies,
Is there anything to do if my phone isnt working exept the fastboot mode, and I want to open the Bootloader, but I didnt allowed the OEM to be unlocked on the developer settings and I cant do it now because the phone cant turn on normally so I cant allow it from the settings?
If it matters, the model is "Nexus 5X".
Thanks alot!
You can check this topic Oem bootloader locked with no os installed!!! How can i flash phone to stock?!
Push a custom rom to your phone and flash it in TWRP. Command: adb push namerom.zip /sdcard/, or sideload a custom rom in also in TWRP recovery. And don`t ever relock your bootloader again if you are flasher If you have enabled ENABLE OEM UNLOCK in developer options its best to unlock it first

But I have no access to the OEM (Or bootloader, I dont know if it is the same) too
I found this guide : guide-fix-bootloop-locked-bootloader-t3608679
I've refreshed the links:
You will need:
ADB + drivers installed: platform-tools
Nexus toolkit: Nexus Root Toolkit
STOCK image archive, older than you have now - Factory Images for Nexus
Latest OTA image archive : https://developers.google.com/android/ota#bullhead
-------------------
Extract stock image (NOT OTA)
install Nexus toolkit and restart your phone in Bootloader mode
connect phone to pc.
In nexus toolkit click on : advanced utilities > launch
look at: fastboot flash
click on all buttons and flash all partition files from extracted archive - except recovery ,userdata and cache.
Copy downloaded OTA ROM archive in ADB folder.
reboot in recovery
now select apply update from adb.
open ADB
flash latest OTA package via command : adb sideload <packagename>.zip
I hope this works
⚠Warning: This is not official TWRP, use it at your own risk!!!
Data will be erased. Back up if neccessary
This device is kind of weird so to flash twrp you need these things:
1. Prepare materials
Install driver so as to have access to preloader (Just install automatically and no need to do anything in device manager)
This software to access to preloader -> fastboot (fastboot is somehow not available via adb methods) Enter fastboot
This tool for flashing
2. Unlock bootloader (need testpoint, python, git (optional) - you can search on google)
Use this tool - go to this section. Follow guides to unlock bootloader (remember to use testpoint not hardware buttons)
3. Enter fastboot mode
Use latest MTK META Ultility tool
Select Reboot Fastboot Mode in BRom section
Hold volume down button. While holding connect it to your computer
*Now your phone is in fastboot mode4. Flash
Open platform-tools folder in Downloads folder
Shift + Right click then "open command window here"
Input these commands into cmd
fastboot flash boot drag twrp file to cmd
fastboot flash recovery drag twrp file to cmd.
fastboot reboot. Swipe to allow modification in twrp (to make sure that stockboot wont replace twrp). After that reboot to recovery to make it installed on your device permanently.
Now your recovery is ready to flash file you can push stock image file to your root folder using adb command: "adb push. Drag the stock image file. /" (Because Decryption right now doesnt work on my device yet)
Enjoy
*Sounds crazy but it is required to make sure twrp is installed correctly*If successful, when you power on, you will get a red section on top of your device. If you want to recover to stock recovery, flash the recovery.img below.*Also, if you want to make your own twrp, you can try recovery.img below.
Also thanks SebaUbuntu and Mofadal El-Tayeb (مُفَضَّل) for awesome apps
Here is the PBRB version for this device
