Android 4.3 Update

Hi There.
I just got a brand new Nexus 4 today and the first thing I tried to do was to update to the 4.3 Android version. I downloaded the factory image from Android.com. When I tried to run the flash-all.sh script I got this error:

Your bootloader seems like it's locked. You need to unlock it first with fastboot by running "fastboot oem unlock". Note that this will wipe all data on your device, which you probably don't mind since you just got the device.

[Q] nexus not accepting stock image - signature verification fail

hello all
My beloved Nexus recently crashed on me and it would boot past the "google" screen :crying:. I have done research and seen some suggestion to clear this is to flash stock image back onto the device. I have tried this via the nexus root toolkit and also via ADB. Both methods give me a signature verification failed error. can anyone please help me?

I had this issue one time and I solved it by flashing a different kernel. Can u still get into recovery mode (volume buttons and power at the same time)? How did u get into the bootloop in the first place because that could help solve the issue.

Did you try wiping everything first before flashing? If that doesn't work download ncry toolkit. I found that when the other root toolkit fails this one works and vice versa. I'm pretty sure you can solve the issue by just wiping and flashing new ROM. Also remember after first flashing it takes longer to turn on so wait a couple minutes to make sure. A also can you tell me what u did to get into the bootloop because it will be easier to find a solution?

It started looping after I was watching netflix and it froze (no response to touch or physical buttons) put into recovery to be too reboot bit it simply went into bootloops. Wiped everything using twrp then reinstalled room but still loping. Wiped everything (including recovery) using fastboot command's and then attempted to load stock image but this failed. Perform oem lock and tried again. Performed oem unlock and reinstalled twrp, side loaded slim rom to sd card (as sd card had been wiped) flashed rom and gapps via twrp but back to bootloop.

Where did you get the stock image you're trying to install? Try downloading the factory image directly from Google. You can download either 4.2.2 (JDQ39) or 4.3 (JWR66Y).

Sadly that is where i got it from, tried both 4.2.2 and 4.3. I'm starting to think my nexus might be dead.
could my laptop be causing the problem?

[Q] Failed KitKat 4.4 Fastboot

Hi All,
I'm using Mac Terminal, have latest SDK, adb and fastboot installed. I have Nexus 7 (2012) Wifi - Nakasi
I followed the pinned post to upgrade my 4.3 (JWR66Y) to KitKat 4.4. I rebooted into fastboot and started ./flash-all.sh
Mid way through the process had stalled so I 'control C' out of the process.
$ ./flash-all.sh

I'm not sure what to do now!!! any help would be...helpful. Please.

You need to wait a but, because the system image us about 630MB, which may take round about two minutes to get transferred and flashed.

I waited 20 minutes the first time and 15 minutes the second time.
I tried flashing using different method from fastboot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312). Problems happen when flashing system.img (~600MB).
Has anyone else found out the checksums aren't working? I get an error "E:signature verification failed" when using "flash-all.sh" from recovery mode (different method i've tried)
Note: no problems updating my nexus 4

Just wanted to update you on a solution if anyone has a similar problem.
I erased the system image through fastboot.
./fastboot erase system

Flashed the system image for old stock 4.3
./fastboot flash system system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ran the flash-all script
./flash-all.sh

System was updated and worked! I back-dated to android 4.3, then did a second flash-all script to update to the current version of android 4.4. I believe that the original factory image for 4.4 was not working. The factory image was updated a day later - this is the file i used.
Thanks to everyone in xda. The many posts I read - even not directly related to my problem - provided a solution.
I hope my next post isn't so noob

Well,I got the similar problem the other day on my Nakasig when I was flashing factory images through Fastboot.
Not only did I try the "flash-all.bat" command, but I also manually inputted each command line one after another.
However, I still encountered the same issue and waited for more 30 minutes during the "sending system" process.
Even worse was that I unplugged my N7 and tried to boot it,which led me to be stuck with the Google logo.:crying:
After removing the battery and booting it into Fastboot again,this time I decided to use Wug's toolkit to flash it.:good:
And thankfully,it worked and I can grab the delicious Kitkat now.
BTW, my N7 still failed to pass Hashcheck while using Wug's automatic method, therefore I just downloaded the Factory images and used Wug's tool to navigate to the .tgz file and then flash it.It spent me around 2 minutes to complete the "sending system" process this time.

[Q] help unbricking nexus 4 stuck in bootloop

Hey guys/gals,
Need some help here. I've been rooting/loading custom roms for almost 7 or so years. I'm not a programmer but know my ways around software well enough..
My problem is my nexus 4 started to bootloop and couldn't ever get it to start up. I had been using one of the purity builds (was a stable kitkat build i think) for a few months. Then one day I started getting force close type errors for a specific app... can't remember which.. so decided to restart the phone just like i would when this usually happens.. after that it wouldn't start up...
I've tried using all available tips and drivers/software and can't get it to successfully restore it. Googled a lot and read many posts.. i keep getting errors... i took a picture of that error which happens..
This is the first time I've bricked a phone so hopefully someone has come across this with a fix or is it truly a bricked phone?
thanks

also.. tried another toolkit and this is the error I get..

Device version-bootloader is 'MAKOZ20i'.
Update requires 'MAKOZ30d'."
I can't update the required bootloader as this toolkit suggests since I can't even access the system etc..
Also, I can get into recovery no problem... but can't mount USB storage or sdcard.. system and firmware seem to be able to be mounted.. but all together can't really do much..
thanks again for any help

Hi
I don't think it is you who bricked it. According to this thread, the phone dies on its own. I'm not sure if your problem is the same as theirs, but the symptoms surely look identical.
Out of all the 10+ cases in that thread, only 1 phone was fixed when the owner did a factory reset; others had to get a replacement.
I'm sorry for not providing an actual/helpful answer and being a bearer of bad news, but I just thought you should know what happened to similar devices. I hope you get it fixed.

Nexus 7 (2013 Mobile) fails to boot; can't enter Recovery mode; flash write failure

My Nexus 7 (2013 Mobile) was rooted and updated to stock Android 6.0 a year ago, no 3rd party ROM/recovery is installed. Last week while checking emails, it rebooted suddenly then remained at Google letters and unlock icon, I can enter fastboot mode by pressing power and volume- buttons together, the last line shows status unlocked; then if select "Recovery mode", it reboots then shows a dead robot with an exclamation mark only. I downloaded the latest factory image "razorg-mob30x", connect it to my PC and enter adb command "flash-all.bat" (I modified the bat file by removing -w, so it won't wipe the user data), then it shows: FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
