Just wondering if anyone has this issue. Everytime I try to reboot into CWR (while connected to my comp thru USB), the phone just boots up with the Google and unlock symbol (since I unlocked my Bootloader) and it just freezes there.
Will it boot up without the USB connected? Or are you able to get into recovery then there's a option to then connect USB for USB transfer

Works fine as long as not connected to comp. I was wondering because I wanted to delete my entire SD section and then format, then wipe the phone completely clean and reinstall CM7. However I can't boot into CWR w/ it connected to the comp so I dunno if it's safe to wipe the phone. I want to be able to copy the CM7 zip back on the phone so I can flash it in CWR.
Yea I got what your saying you can boot into cwr and there's a option to USB toggle and you then can copy everything then you can wipe the card. Then put it back on when you format it or what you want wipe the phone then disconnect the phone and flash the cm zip. You should be good this way no?

Ah didn't know that. I could boot into the stock bootloader while attached to the comp because that's how I unlocked the bootloader. But I tried to do the same thing when booting into CWR and it would just freeze so I didn't kno how to wipe my SD portion via format (I'm thinking there's a lot of apps I've downloaded in the past and it may be messing w/ my CM7 and causing dim bootloops), then dump CM7 back onto the SD card so I can reflash the Rom.

Ok well like an idiot I went into recovery and did a full sd card format and all data in CWM and did a factory reset because I'm selling my tablet. Now I have no OS on my tablet and nothing on the sd card and the only thing I can do is get into fastboot mode and I can't even get into CWM when I click reboot recovery it just goes to the android with the red error sign. The reason I'm worried is because I've tried wugfreshs toolkit and now this one to download a stock google rom and flash it but on wug's and this one it gets stuck at sending system . I have no idea what to do, this is what I'm talking about http://imgur.com/ihZzu
I had that issue.. It gets sick at sending system.. I used my friends computer to fix it and it worked I guess mine wasn't good enough? Haha idk nut try another computer and it should work

Use fastboot to flash a new recovery, then flash new rom from within recovery. If you can install a rom to sd or none exists you may need to side load it or use external sd with an otg cable.
If you can get the proper boot.img and system.img you can just flash those via fastboot as well to get a working os, if the dev of rom makes it use it this way, or make your own or if you have a nandroid in yaffs2 format you can use those images, .win, tar etc won't work

last night i got the update for 4.3 and i agreed to reboot n install the update. it booted into twrp recovery and installed the update n after finishing it did not boot rather it came bak to the menu of twrp i manually pressed boot system n it asked to swipe to fix permissions for su binary i swiped the button and it just booted and and came to the nexus logo and was stuck there. i thought first time it might take time left it for half an hour was just stuck there and I switched it off n put it bak on after sometime still doesnt go any further from the logo.
if i had a backup i would hav just restored it but the update started off directly i didnt get an option to backup n i didnt backup before doing it=|

if ur able to boot to recovery u can get it bak dont worry! just hold down power button and volume down till the device comes into fast boot. and if ur stuck at the logo and not able to shut down (by removing the battery on other phones) just hold down power button and volume down button for a while i think its 5 seconds but it could be a little more not sure. hold it down till u boot into fast boot and in fast boot u can shut it down or enter the recovery.
and since u say ur device is new n if u dont hav much data then u will be able to simple flash the stock rom and hav a fresh new device.
use this toolbox it'll help u do everything. but im not very sure u might loose all the data on it

If you can go into the bootloader, go to recovery and flash CleanROM or CM10.2 or even a 4.2.2 ROM. Seems to be your only option now. Also flash an appropriate kernel for the ROM right after the flash.
Try a dirty flash at first.
i can - it freeze on logo and reboot after pressing on power and volume

yes i can get into bootloader and recovery. and i hav a few questions...
1. if i flash another rom will my files on the virtual sd in the internal memory get wiped?
2. there is option for backup in TWRP recovery i can backup DATA SYSTEM CACHE and usb otg.
after flashing a new rom can i restore the backup for DATA and get bak the apps?
3. is there any way i can copy the files in the internal memory saved in the virtual SD to my comp or anywhere else through recovery or bootloader? 4. there is an option for factory reset in TWRP recovery which says it will clear data and wipe cache and will not clear internal data. i just want to be sure if the files in the virtual sd wont get deleted if i do this? and by using this factory reset option will i be able to fix the problem?

1. If by virtual sd you mean Internal Storage (the place where you copy files to normally via PC), no. It won't wipe anything there.
2. Although this is possible, it is highly discouraged.
3. From bootloader or recovery you can try adb pull to grab a backup of your sdcard's contents. Don't do this unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing.

ok i shall avoid restoring backup of data. so ill factory rest it from twrp recovery? it should fix the problem right?
and by virtual sd i meant the internal storage where we copy files from the comp sorry i didnt know how to descirbe it...
and no im not so good at adb so ill avoid tht since u told nothing in the internal memory gets wiped
Go to TWRP>Wipe. And then just swipe. Don't try Advanced or Internal Storage or whatever there is. Should do the job.

im so sorry one last question. if i factory reset n restore only data to get bak the apps.. if it works well n good if it doesnt ill factory reset again.. but does restoring data cause damage tht could brick my device?
If you factory reset, only stuff in /data will get wiped (game saves etc.) Not your sdcard stuff though.
And restoring a data backup from a different ROM may lead to bootloops.

edit: to flash any rom how to copy the zip file into the internal storage?
i checked in the nexus 7 toolbox to flash stock image it tells the internal memory will be erased as well=| any other method to flash stock rom?
i havent tried it but my friend told me tht he can mount his external sd in recovery and hes able to view the files on the comp. is it possible to view files of the internal storage on the comp n copy them onto a comp. ?

how can i add a rom if i cant mount my n7 to my computer, I have twrp and all but i never had a custom rom to begin with and im stuck on the N7 logo screen
So I bricked my phone by trying to flash the new 4.3 stock rooted to make the gear work with it. In a constant reboot. I need to get the photos before I Odin back to stock. Or maybe add a custom rom to flash. I'm using TWRP and tried to mount to usb, but my pc won't recognize it.
I would use TWRP to make a full backup on an external SD card. You could then move the SD card to your PC and pull whatever you need from the backup.
Have you tried to factory reset within recovery and see if that makes your phone boot up?

Hi!
Basically every time I got OTA update notification, I installed it from PC since there could be some problems with OTA. But today I had a busy day and totally forgot to do that, so I just accepted the OTA update. Now the only screen I have access to is Philz Recovery. I've tried sideload, adb pushing ROM onto sdcard and installing it from there and using download mode (doesn't work at all) and I have no idea what else can I do. One more thing I noticed is that /system/ partition keeps unmounting after reboot and sideloading.
Is there anyone that can help me?
Reflash stock ROM
sent from my T-Mobile LG-VS980
I can't access Download Mode, it boots straight into recovery.
get a usb otg cable and put a rom on on a flash drive (or micro sd card with reader), then connect the usb otg cable and boot to recovery then flash the rom. Also try to wipe cache/davlik and see if that helps
Which option in Philz should I choose to find the ROM on pendrive?
Hey guys! I'm not a developer. I unlocked the bootloader of my Nexus 4 and rooted it. Along with that i even installed a matrix kernel. So now what happened is my phone wouldn't display anything after starting up but it was connecting to my PC as i had enabled USB debugging mode. But as the phone wasn't starting, i formatted everything except the sd card, cleared the cache and dalvik cache and reinstalled the franco kernel. Even that didn't start so i downloaded CM 11 nightly version and tried to install it, but it didn't get installed. I installed the matrix kernel again and tried to install CM 11 but even then it didn't get installed. Now my phone is stuck on the google logo and the only thing i can do is go to the bootloader, recovery etc. but I can't connect it to my PC as i had factory reset it, the USB debugging had stopped. Basically i just need help in figuring out what should i do. I'm ready to have my phone back to its stock settings and i'm even ready to keep my phone rooted. I just need a way for it to start working. Please guys!! Some help here!!
Don't panic. The first thing you need to do is flash the factory image in fastboot. After you get your phone back then you need to read a lot before you flash anything again

Relax!
Download the Nexus 4 factory image from Google and flash it using fastboot from your PC.
This will revert the phone to pure stock unrooted settings and then just try rooting the phone again from there.
Check of your kernel and ROM files were proper, if they were corrupted then it could have lead to the bootloop

And by the way, I downloaded CM11 Nightly but it couln't get installed due to some error and before installing the ROM i installed the matrix kernel but after installing, the phone didn't start. It showed the starting animation but did not start the phone up. Can you please tell me how to enable USB Debugging from CWM Recovery? Coz it's stuck on the Google logo and i can't start it, so neither can I enable the USB debugging mode.
Is your recovery up to date? If not please flash the latest one or flash trwp recovery instead. Use adb sideload, since you cant access your usb debugging

You don't need USB debugging for fastboot. Download the factory stuff from google, turn off device, hold volume down and boot up device (i.e. into bootloader), and run the "flash-all.bat" (after extracting the downloaded file) .. This will wipe your data. If you want to keep data, open the flash-all.bat file and remove the "-w" from the last line.
