Hello
I wanted to backup so i ran the backup with ROM Manager and it froze when it was backing up .android secure. I had to pull out the battery so I don't think it was completed has this happened to anyone?
Yeah, it happens to everyone not posting in the right forum.

You kidding me? If this isn't the place for it then where would he post it? Certainly not in the development section.
Sometimes backups get corrupt man, that sucks.. you'll probably just have to start anew

How about the forum called "Nexus One Q&A"?
As fun as it is to "act-a-mod", you both need to stop.
ANYWAYS, OP: If at first you don't succeed, try try again. If it fails again, try flashing a different recovery.
Yeah, just try backing up again. It has happened to me before. Stuck backing up at .android_secure. So I just tried to backup again, then it worked.
if you all want a recovery on which you can trust, then switch to Amon_Ra's recovery (RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1)
i keep having a similar problem. my backups can be created just fine. but when i try to restore them they ALWAYS hang at a certain file, such as event_1626573434.txt or whatever it may happen to be. sometimes i can go to advanced nand and restore each portion individually, which sometimes works. so the backup itself works. i really dont know what the problem could be. using clockwork recovery.

Nope. I'm not sure what I pressed, but I think trackball + power button. And then the phone restarted. Didn't need to pull the battery.

Well i fired up a 2.3.3 rooted stock rom and everything is fine except when im in the bootloader, it says sd checking... loading pc36diag.zip no image
then it tries .nbh then pc36img.zip....
anyways this whole process on the phone takes forever. what do i need to do to fix this issue and how may i prevent it from happening again? thanks.
It's scanning for those files, always does each time.
Do you have a pc36img.zip file on your SDCARD?

I have the Astro file manager.
Place this file in your internal sd.
http://db.tt/er5nBa0B
Hold your vol up /down and power buttons. When vibrant screen comes up, release the power button but keep holding the vol buttons this will put you in recovery. Hit reinstall packages and it should take you to Red recovery screen, this means all text will be red. It may take a couple of times but once you turn red, you will be rooted.
As always, I am not responsible if you brick your phone and don't forget to hit the thanks button.
Edit : make sure the name of the file is Update.zip no other variations will work. You can change the name to read that in case it reads Update.zip.zip . DO NOT UNZIP.

This fix is for already rooted phones. The first thing it says is that they installed a recovery image but you can't do that unless your phone is rooted.

A quick explanation of my stupidity, I unlock and load customer iOS builds on iPhones all the time. I decided to take on the task of loading a customer rom on my Nexus 4 for the first time thinking, "how much harder can it be!". I wanted to put Xylon onto my device. After getting into restore mode and wiping doing the factory reset command, the phone shut off. It will not turn on at all. I've tried hard resetting the device and get nothing. When plugged into my computer, I can see it recognizes it as a driverless Qualcomm USB device so I know the phone is on, it just shows absolutely nothing on screen. How can I get this back up and running? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Boot into bootloader and see if you can get fastboot to connect. If you can, it's fixable. Just flash the stock images until you work up the nerve to try again.

You managed to brick your Nexus. Did you fastboot flash the wrong IMG to the bootloader or what? Tell us what you did so no one else does it.

I'd recommend letting it charge for a few hours, then try fastboot again.

Everything was going smoothly. Got to the customer loader which is where I did the factory reset and then went to select the image I wanted and realized I didn't put it in the phones directory. I went to the menu and hit "restart" and that was the last breath of my Nexus
Did you by chance flash xylon for nexus 7 by mistake as I believe that will brick your nexus 4 faster than crap thru a goose.

Only Samsung phones have Odin. LG does have a "download" mode' but I haven't seen the utility for it.
Currently I haven't read of anyone recovering from a N7 ROM or kernel flash.

I don't think there is any way for them to check if it doesn't turn on. There have been a few others who have done the same thing and gotten an RMA form Google with no problems. I did it with an Incredible from Verizon about 2 years ago with no problems after bricking it trying to unlock the bootloader.
Just wanted to post a reply to my incident. Google replaced the device and there was no charge. Thank you all for your help
Okay, so I was listening to a YouTube video via Popup Browser BETA. When the song finished, I tried closing the window, but it wouldn't let me interact with the window. Not sure why. I just figured since the app was in beta it was just confused, so I went to the settings->running applications->I force closed the app. But for some reason, the little window still wouldn't go away. So I decided to reboot my device. Bad idea, apparently...
Now whenever I boot up my phone it'll vibrate, display the Google logo for a few seconds, and then... it goes to a blank black screen. Not a clue why. I've tried:
- Leaving it to charge and rebooting
- Leaving it in the blank black screen
- Booting into recovery, then trying to reboot the device from there
- Clearing cache partition
Nothing works. I still can't boot up my phone again.
I'm running Slimbean 4.2.1 (not the latest version). There really isn't anything that might have triggered this. I can still charge my phone (the charging animation still occurs) and I can still go into CWM Recovery. I'd really rather not have to install a new ROM or anything... but if I have to, is there a way to extract the data I have on my phone now while in recovery or something?
Any suggestions?
EDIT: This has been FIXED. Moderators, if you see this, you can close this thread. If anyone else has this problem, try reflashing your current version of your ROM, that's how I fixed mine. I'm not responsible for damage to your device.
Why haven't you tried reflashing your rom without wiping data?

I've not got enough free space on my phone I don't think (it's only 16GB, I got about 2GB free).
Unless I'm mistaken the backup will take more than that, yes? Considering I've got a few games apps that probably equate to about 4GB.

Reflash the same version you were running before this accident, as the newest version requires clean flash. If you want to run the latest version and have your data back, reflash the same version you were running before, then backup your data, wipe phone, flash the latest version and restore your data

Yes either that or perhaps switch to a new one, I've been with semi-stock Android for quite a while now I'm really liking the port of MIUI V5...
Early morning when I woke up, I saw the language option coming on the home screen. I thought I got an upgrade to Android M automatically, so, I moved on with the all the process of setting up the device. Later on, there came an option to keep all the 81 apps and it's data, so, I choose 'Yes'. It was shocking to see that it was no upgrade but a reset was automatically initiated. Though all the apps are being downloaded and installed but the app data is gone which was more than important to me. I was using an app called Expense Manager (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.markushi.expensemanager) and I really want the data back. Please help me out with this and yes, my device is not rooted. Android version is 5.1.1

it could have been anything. the cheap flash memory is getting old in these devices. people are having their flash literally fail to unreadable at this point. it could have even been a goddamn cosmic ray hit that triggered it. no way to tell at this point.
