Nicely done! And thanks for sharing, as I'll have to take a look and see if I need to update something or link to these files as well.

So I followed this guide (trying to go back from rooted, stock 4.2.2 ROM, .33 radio for LTE) to update to 4.3.
Everything worked fine (I think), but its been at the X splash screen for about 10 minutes now. Also noticed that it stays at the "Google" screen longer than before, then going to the splash screen. Ideas?

after a near heart attack, i'm good! i went from CyanogenMod to stock 4.3.
i had a minor scare with the missing 'boot.sig' business then got stuck on the X logo. i wasn't able to boot into the bootloader so i sat the phone down, walked into the kitchen, grabbed a drink and walked back. booted into bootloader and followed the troubleshooting instructions. the first time i had tried to boot into bootloader i just got a red LED (heart attack time). not sure what was up with that but happy to be on 4.3!

I seem to be having the same problem as andr0idralphie. I was running a Nexus 4 (rooted and unlocked, but stock) with 4.2.2. I thought I could use this guide to update to 4.3. I got as far as andr0idralphie, received the following error: sending 'system' (570666 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002be FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory)) I attempted to follow the advice of 2defmouze by erasing the system and resending it, but now Terminal (i'm using a mac) is stuck on erasing 'system' ... (its been about 25 mins)
What should I do? Is it safe to quit terminal, reopen it and try erasing and resending the system?

It appears that I've solved the problem. I'm now running 4.3 on my nexus 4. I'm not exactly sure what was causing the problem but I just could not get the system.img to flash. So I did some searching and found this post: Can't flash system.img in fastboot - xda-developers
Which led me on a search for alternate fastboot files, which I found here: Cult of Android MobileRooting The Google Nexus 4 The Right Way [How-To] | Cult of Android
I dropped the new adb and fastboot files into the folder from the beginning of this guide and started the step-by-step from scratch. But instead of typing ./fastboot-mac, now I typed ./fastboot...
It took a while to send and write the system.img (~90 seconds total) but it worked. The phone took a little longer to boot, but not too much. The Welcome screen sat at the 'just a sec' screen for a few minutes, but after that everything has been smooth!

I had a similar issue, I believe, it was similarly resolved by using a more recent release of Google's Mac Dev tools
After rereading your post I see that, indeed, you explained how to solve the problem. When I first read it I thought you were trying to go back to 4.2.2 and that that was what you download from the google dev page. Thanks, anyway
Happy you solved the problem, and thanks for sharing the solution! See that's what helps us all learn
I quickly took a look but the links weren't providing me the updated Mac tools you guys were using. If someone wouldn't mind linking me directly so that I can update the guide/tools and help people going forward I would greatly appreciate it!
Here is a direct download link for the files I used: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1360819/android.zip
It looks like the files are dated from Sept. 2012 and they are Mac only. Hope this helps. And thanks for the guides, 2defmouze. They've really been helpful to a first-timer like me

Thanks a bunch! I added them with a note to the OP and credited the two of you guys for figuring that out
Perhaps you should note in the guide that when using the newer fastboot files for Mac the syntax for the Terminal commands is changed from "./fastboot-mac" to "./fastboot" (minus the ", of course)Thanks a bunch! I added them with a note to the OP and credited the two of you guys for figuring that out
Actually I thought ahead and just renamed them to flow with the syntax of the original instructions... but thanks for looking out

No, download Google's latest Mac adt-bundle. Everything worked after I used that. Scroll up, read the thread a bit...
Try the updated Mac files I posted in the OP, as andr0idralphie suggested..
I was using Nexus 4 unrooted for months. yesterday I received OTA for 4.3. i followed the procedure. but after reboot my phone is stuck on X logo. I tried to follow the steps given here. Hav esetup correct adb on my Win 8 laptop. but since USB debugging was not enabled on my phone, it is not being detected in fastboot command prompt. How do I proeed? please help..
You don't need usb debugging enabled for fastboot. What exactly is happening when you are in the bootloader, plugged in, and enter fastboot devices?
Also given that you had an unrooted, locked (I'm presuming) device which froze up after the update, you may possibly just want to contact Google and get a new one sent rather than start hacking at it.
