Hello all,
I've followed all the instructions posted on how to root my Nexus 4 on either YouTube and XDA. However, I keep getting the same "waiting for device" message once I set my device into bootloader mode. Any tips on what can or must I do next to solve this issue?
Thank you and I appreciate any help I get in here in advance

Use Wugs toolkit to install the device drivers

Well my first thought is to make sure you have USB debugging enabled. After that I would try the PDA net drivers instead of the one that came with the toolbox. I had a similar issue and that fixed it.

Mine was a pain to root. Drivers wouldn't update, other things didn't work, and the toolkit kept saying my ADB was off. The problem was my sdk wasn't up to date. Once I fixed that, I just used the ADB method and it was done in ten minutes.

Thank you so much. I'm downloading the Wugs toolkit now. Will revert back once I've installed and root my device
p/s - sorry for the noob mistake of posting this in the wrong thread. I think it was already moved by an admin.

I have apparently enable USB debugging but the issue still persists. I'm gonna try BigSimon's suggestion and will let you know if it works.
Anyway, thank you so much for the feedback

Hi guys,
I'm using my nexus Q with cm10.1 steelhead. Release candidate updates and nightlies are available to download and install from settings. However I'm only able to download. After download I click update, the Q flashes red for several minutes, reboots, but the update doesn't install. It's still on the same version. I know I'm missing something. I know the forums are full of experts and this has to be a simple solution.

Hi,
Since the last 2 months (maybe the last android update), my nexus 4 reboot ramdomly. Do you guys know a way to find out which app causing my those reboot (I've already install catlog)? Do you guys witness the same behaviour?
It would be nice to fix the problem without reseting the phone.
I'm running stock rooted android JWR66Y. here a list of the app using root access:
- ad free 0.8.64
- greenify 1.92
- permission manager 2.0
I use apx as launcher.
Thx
Right after reboot grab your last_kmsg log
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Hi,
what to do with last_kmsg?
It shows lots of numbers, some info etc.
and last line saying: Last boot reason: kernel_panic
How to understand this log?
thanks
What kernel are you using? Your kernel Dev will likely be able to assist.

Chrome is the issue. If you guys want a easy way to take logs use syslog app from playstore :thumbup:
Finally Ubuntu touch has come for Nexus 7 2013. (flo) :laugh:
It is still in progress. Just flash it to take the taste of Ubuntu Touch!!
Full credit goes to @Tasssadar for his awesome work!
Note- It is only compatible with Multirom.
Installation
1. Update to MultiROM v21a or newer- http://d-h.st/bPS
2. Go to recovery, Add ROM -> select Ubuntu Touch -> Next
3. Two files - one is device specific, second is the Ubuntu Touch system:
Device-specific file- http://d-h.st/3ss
(mirror)- http://goo.im/devs/Tassadar/utouch
System file (this one is from ogra with MIR fixes): http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-touch-4.4.2-mir.rootfs-armhf.zip
Ubuntu touch needs 2GB space.
Hit thanks button if it works for you!! :victory:

Hi, thanks for sharing the files. I installed all files successfully, but the system won't boot up. It returns always into the multiboot. Any ideas to fix it? By the way, all is up to date.
Update: Installed it again, but only Google Logo visible, no boot up

Any Deb support
With this build/port by Tassadar is it possible to update Ubuntu touch when there is updates available?

Pardon the ignorance but what is multirom?

The best thing ever. It is a custom recovery which allows you to install multiple ROMs at once and at boot, you can choose which ROM to boot into. It is essentially dualbooting on android.

Yea that sounds awesome! Will give it a try this weekend.
I've just tested it on my Nexus 7 2013 (with Android 4.4).
Successfully flashed, but when it starts, I've only a black screen...

anyone have a solution
I have tested two different kernels but I think that this is not the problem.
My actual configuration is android kitkat 4.4.2 complete stock , multirom v22 and recovery 2013-12-24. All installed from multirom manager.
When i add the ubuntu touch rom, the install log shows two errors (one for each zip file) regarding /data partition, but the installation says that was successful.
Thanks in advance.

Just to eliminate other factors as your issue.. I successfully got this booted the first or second day it was posted (and it booted almost instantly after install). Since I had deleted it again, downloaded from the same spot and reinstalled. All else being the same (main kernel and rom) i too now am stuck at black screen. Perhaps the download link leads to an automatically updated version which killed support

So, can you please contact who created the files? BTW, Canonical should officially support Nexus 7 2013 very soon.
The problem could be mir?
In the original post there was this line "System file (this one is from*ogra*with*MIR fixes)"
I will look for this fixes and try to connect using adb and change something...

I don't know about the app you mentioned, but there were a couple of apps in the N4 Apps & Themes forum which did this - but it seems they work for 4.3 only.
As mentioned, there are apps which work via Exposed framework which will do what you are looking for (though bear in mind Exposed needs the Dalvik not Art, runtime).
Another good option is to try some ROMs - most of the popular ones have extensive UI customisation, such as battery, clock, navigation bar (the one at the bottom).
Download a ROM and its Gapps (eg AICP ROM and its Gapps, which I use and I can recommend, it's a good place to start)
Reboot into recovery.
Backup your current ROM (creates an image you can restore if you don't like the new ROM)
Wipe: data/system/cache/dalvik. NOT internal storage
Install the ROM and its Gapps
Reboot and begin to setup your phone
If you have Titanium Backup Pro or similar, you can restore all your user apps and data to the new ROM. Generally not recommended to restore system apps or data.
It may sound like a lot of effort to get a battery icon, but you also get a better ROM (faster, better battery and highly customisable UI). With the backup you took, if you don't like your new ROM, all you need to do is:
Go into Recovery,
Wipe data/system/dalvik/cache
Restore the backup
Reboot
