Can you get to the bootloader and fastboot or recovery? You can flash a ROM with ADB Sideload or restore the factory images.

Not factory reset... restore factory images, a very different process which reformats the entire phone and returns it to out of box condition by flashing a complete software image to the phone. You can follow this procedure to manually (long way) do it: [HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / retu… | Nexus 4 | XDA Forums, use a tool like Wugfresh toolkit, but the factory images have a file called flash-all.bat will do a full flash for you (assuming you have adb/fastboot setup correctly in your system path).

So you have two choices here, install/boot TWRP and load a custom ROM via ADB Sideload, or reload the factory images... whichever one you choose is up to you. Personally, I would use fastboot to flash TWRP, and flash a ROM of your choice via ADB sideload.

You don't need to... Start TWRP, go to Advanced, ADB Sideload, connect USB cable, it should connect. Then type 'adb devices' it should show a "SIDELOAD" device.

Then type: adb sideload ROM.zip

Except substitute the path and ROM zip filename for ROM.zip, it will transfer the zip and flash it.
