Really quick question..please help.

ok, after hours and hours I finally got cyanogenmod 5.0 on my N1. I rebooted and now some of my stock apps are gone (marketplace). What do i need to do at this point? thanks!

Next time ask in general since there is no Q&A for the Nexus.
Download and flash the google add on on cyanogen's page (http://www.mediafire.com/file/jmmzywtlnjd/gapps-passion-ERE27-2-signed.zip)
in recovery the same way you flashed the rom. Do not wipe.

thank you good sir..i will try it. much oblige.

Ok, David. I have downloaded the google addons and got 2 files "META-INF" and "system". I am in fastboot mode and have command prompt but dont know where to go from here.

You need to flash it in recovery. I think its power down in bootloader to access recovery (not entirely sure since I always adb shell reboot recovery) but there should be a list of button presses.
After you get to recovery, select the mount usb option, then drag that .zip file to the root of your sdcard, then select the mount usb option to unmount the sdcard, then select flash any .zip and select the file you just put on there.

To get to recovery, power off the phone. Then power it back on while holding down 'volume down'. Then use the volume down key to select 'Recovery', and press power button to enter it. That's what I do, at least.

did you also apply the google app the google add on piece?

got it. LOL you guys are awesome. Man, I am going to learn a lot from this place. Thanks!!

Me? Yeah. I flashed cyanogens core update, then the google app addons, then the multi touch fix(when that was necessary) then rebooted into fastboot and flashed the radio update

Ok here's what you do. First, copy the zip file to the sd card (don't unzip it). Then you should boot into recovery mode ( hold the volume down button and boot the phone. you might need to wait a little but you should navigate to the second item (Recovery) and click it ( volume up/down to navigate, power button to click). now in the Amon RA recovery you need to navigate, using the track ball, to ( flash zip from sd card ) and click it. then click on the zip you just copied and follow the instructions.
Hope that helps

Official OTA ICS Update- Flashable through stock recovery!

Found this on phandroid...
Instructions:
1. Download file
2. Rename "update"
3. Power phone off
4. Press Volume Up & Power to enter bootloader
5. Scroll to "recovery" and press Power
6. android with yellow triangle will appear (don't panic)
7. press Power and hold and then press Volume up
8. Scroll to install update
9. Enjoy ICS
here is the zip file:
Can't post the actual link cause of my low level of activity... But head over to the "other" site and grab it yourself...

http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo4g/TAMkDR3z.zip

To be clear that is for the NS 4g. There are 4 other variants so you shouldn't assume everyone is using the same phone. And yes, you can flash through stock recovery as long as you download the correct version for your phone and you are on a gingerbread recovery. ICS recovery can't flash from a file located on internal storage so you have to unlock in the future and use a different recovery.

I don't understand why you guys won't root your Nexus S and install ICS a long time ago? The Nexus is a developers phone... =\

Recovery Mode issue (Red triangle)

Hi
I just rooted my nexus 4 using the superboot. And made backup using titanium. But the problem is i tried using
androidrootz.com/2012/11/how-to-root-nexus-4-on-mac.html
earlier to try to root the phone and after unlocking the bootloader and wiping the device i couldnt get into the recovery mode. Now it comes up with android lying down with a red triangle over this. The phone switches on fine.
I am rooted though. Just need to get into recovery mode. Any help, please?

I had this happen to me. I imagine you used CWM to flash Superuser right? When you rebooted through CWM it said something about do you want to disable recovery from being reinstalled to stock, something to that extend.
Basically I think what you have to do is reflash your recovery. Either stock or a custom recovery (cwm etc).
In fastboot you would do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img being CWM)

Hey thanks for the quick reply.
Well I am fairly new to android. This being my first Android handset. Can you please tell where to start with. Though i remember this fastboot command i entered earlier. Did i mention I have SU on my handset now.
And is there any other way to get custom roms other than CWM? If i got for stock recovery do i still retain root access? and how can i can flash stock recovery if possible.
Really appreciate this.

No problem at all. I suggest reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
But I will highlight what you need to do:
C. Download the required files to your computer and extract them
1) All of the files that are required, need to be in one (i.e., the same) directory. It does not matter what it is called, but all the files need to be in there, with NO subfolders. EVERYTHING needs to be extracted into this one directory;
2) Download the attachment from the end of this post and extract the contents to the directory created in step 1. Note: if all you want to do is unlock your bootloader, skip to step 7 in this section (C).
3) Download the version of Android you want from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjop40d. Make sure you are using an occam image which is for the Nexus 4. Most old versions are not usually available on that site; however, there is a mirror on this site: Random Phantasmagoria.
4) Download the appropriate version (for your computer) of 7-zip from here and install it.
5) Extract the files from within the .tgz file which you downloaded in step 3 using 7-zip, not WinZip or WinRAR or whatever.
6) Make sure you have extracted ALL the files (including extracting any files in any archives inside the .tgz file). You should have six (6) files ending with .img in the directory you created in step 1. The other files you extracted from the .tgz are not necessary;
7) Reboot your device into bootloader mode (by turning it off, hold volume down, and press and hold power) and plug it into your computer;
8) Open a command prompt in the same directory (i.e., make sure you are in the same directory as your files are located). You can hold the shift key when you are in the folder in Windows explorer and right-click in a blank spot and it will open a command prompt.
then: 12) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this should be inside the occam-jop40d-factory-ca7602f0.tgz )
Now hope this all works for you, I am at work and have never actually done any of this on my own (other then flash a custom recovery).
But that guide is awesome, read through it sure it will help you out.

I have this issue with a huge difference I haven't rooted or unlock the boot loader on my device, but when I try to get in to recovery I get the red triangle and the no command. Is anybody having this issue? How can I fix it?

Yes is supposed to get there the problem is, I get to the first menu, press volume down to select recovery mode, get in to recovery mode, it gets in and shows a laid down android with the red triangle on top an the no command message below, I press volume up or volume down and it does nothing just keeps showing no command, the only way to get out is by holding power button for several seconds.
this never happened to me on mi Galaxy and I don,t know whats going on, as I said on this particular device I haven't rooted or unlock the boot loader, it is completely stock.
Thanks in advance for your help.

To get to the menu on the triangle thing, you need to press power then while holding it tap the volume up. After that the menu will be shown. Pressing only the volume buttons won't do it

flash an older version of CWM and then flash the revert recovery disabler from recovery

As i said before, I press volume down + power and get to the main menu, then i select recovery mode by pressing the power button and enter recovery mode (all this works perfect), after I enter recovery mode, there is just the android with the red triangle on top and the no command on the bottom, and I press the volume up and down buttons and nothing happens.
As I said this is a new device never rotted locked boot loader, I really don't know whats wrong here.

You're not reading it correctly. When you are in the android with triangle, press POWER then VOLUME UP to access the menu. That's what I've been saying two posts up. Pressing just the volume buttons in that screen won't get you anywhere

happened to me, too. easy solution, get goomanager from play, tap settings, tap install open recovery. that will install TWRP right away. btw, TWRP is everything that CWM is not, use it, its so much better.

Man, Thanks, now i got it, it worked perfectly. you guys are the reason I am on android and not in another OS. Thanks again

So, I followed this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/11/how-to-root-nexus-4-on-mac.html
Booted in CWM followed all the steps, and the last step to reboot the device, it rebooted but never went back to CWM.
Now I am constantly getting the Android with Triangle and "no command" so I guess it keeps me in stock recovery.
My bootloader shows unlocked.
Please help, what should I do? I can't seem to get the phone to do a hard reset by holding power+volume down then tapping back and home?

When you get to the android with "!", it should be power then volume up not volume down

Power and Volume up at the red triangle does NOTHING. Droid Bionic

It can install twrp easily or cwm from an IMG file

Have you guys tried nexus root toolkit from fastboot mode it might be able to help you
It is available to download here https://www.google.com/amp/www.wugfresh.com/nrt/amp/
Cwm isn't supported any more on n4 I would switch to twrp personally

Connect the phone to the cmd terminal on the pc and type: adb reboot recovery. You should have platform-tools from android sdk installed.

I had to use flashboot over USB to upload CWM, then CWM protected itself and re-enabled root, I didn'tevn have to reflash super-su.
- get he recovery image recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako
- flash it from bootloader:
- extract fastboot from the sdk (I extracted the whole sdk)
- restart phone while holding power+vol down (keep vol don pressed after release sing power)
- run "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako.img" on your PC
- after selecting reboot it gave me the option to protect he recovery and resinstall super-su
- the right verison of super-su was already installed by CWM so I didn't even need to reflash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip

By the way, for me it took a few tries to get it to work - I was pressing, pressing but nothing was happening but it finally worked.
So to the OP, if it doesn't recognize you pressing the two buttons the first time - try again until it works.

Can you still boot into the Android operating system itself? If you can, then you can download a terminal emulator from Google Play and use it to boot into recovery through its command line. Here's what you would need to type in, only type what is in bold:
su
(This requests superuser/root permissions for the app. When you get this, wait for a message to come up asking if you want to give it root permissions and then grant the app permissions.)
reboot recovery
This will make the phone turn off, and it will boot into recovery. If it doesn't boot into recovery, then the recovery itself is probably broken.
I'll try to get the button combo for recovery ASAP, just in case the terminal emulator method does not work.
EDIT: Here is how to boot into recovery with the button combinations:
1) turn off the phone, take off the cover, and remove the battery.
2) put the battery back in
3) hold down the volume down key. CONTINUE TO HOLD IT DOWN AS YOU THEN HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN THE PHONE ON AGAIN.
this method is to get into stock recovery, but you can try it to get into CWM. Post back what happens when you try these methods.
