Hi guys,
Got my Nexus 4 today and want to root it, allready unlocked it but can get the recovery to get flashed. On earlier Nexuses i recall placing the recovery.img in android-sdk/platform-tools and in fastboot the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img would do the job. But now it isn`t, what an i doing wrong? Fastboot drivers are properly installed as i was able to unlock the phone with adb.
Would appreciate some helpfull tips.
did you rename it recovery.img?

Does it return an error or is it just not sticking?

Why not just use the toolkit...makes it 1000000000 times easier...

This may be a silly suggestion but windows auto names the extension. So really you just have to name the file "recovery"

Because he won't be the one to come crying when he "bricks" his phone...
And he'll be learning.
And cutting out the middle man...
All the toolkit is is a GUI interface for fastboot commands.
One wrong line on the developer's side could literally brick devices (yes, unlikely).
Why don't YOU stop relying on toolkits?
ADB and fadtboot are even simpler.
whats the error message
Did you CD into the fastboot folder properly?

After renaming the recovery the flash succeeded, but when in CWM i cannot see the SU/Busybox zip. Do i need to flash a unsecure boot first?
Sorry for the noobish questions, been with Samsung devices a long time, and they didn`t have fastboot

I'm not familiar with how you are rooting, I just flashed everything with fastboot. I assume you flashed recovery and are flashing su in recovery? I do believe you need an insecure boot first.

Yes i guess so, cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools , fastboot is located in platform-tools afaik.

Forgive me, but I keep a folder called adb on the root of my C: drive with fastboot.exe in it.

Did you place the .zip file on your phone before or after you unlocked the bootloader?
Unlocking the bootloader completely wipes the phone so the file would be gone.
The good news is you can push the file with adb while booted into recovery.
adb push nameoffile.zip /storage/sdcard0

make sure you're looking in the correct path in cwm i think its sdcard0 or something like that. or just flash twrp it goes straight to the storage directory by default
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
The 2 files i see in CWM are not located on sdcard0 but in the emulated file. So how to get in sdcard0 when in CWM, that is the question.
Is this the correct adb command: adb push C:/android-sdk/platform-tools/SU_Busybox_Package sdcard0/SU_Busybox_Package for pushing the file to sdcard0?

I recently updated to android 4.2.1 and ever since then I cannot boot into recovery using CWM. When I try to do it, a picture of an android guy and a red triangle with an exclamation point inside appears and after a couple minutes it reboots as normal. Please help! I couldn't find any answers in the forums.
From efrant's nexus 4 101 sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010338
I just flashed CWM, but every time I try to boot into CWM, I keep seeing the stock recovery. Why?
If you updated your Android build using an OTA update file (either manually or over-the-air), the update placed two files on your device that re-flash the stock recovery every time you reboot your device. These two files are:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh <== this is the script that installs the patch file
/system/recovery-from-boot.p <== this is the patch
You have to rename (or delete) one or both of them, then re-flash your custom recovery. Now it will stick.

Originally I had root and was just using my stock ROM but I wanted to flash a custom ROM now.
OK. First you'll need the platform tools located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1506153&d=1353717141
If you don't have fastboot drivers installed get them from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996051
Once those are set up download the rom and gapps of your choice and put them on your phone.
Then, download CWR from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and put the image in the same directory as fastboot.exe. And rename it something easy to type such as cwr.img
Next, reboot into the bootloader.
Open the command window from the fastboot.exe directory. (hold shift and right click then choose open command window here)
Type "fastboot devices" (no quotes) and make sure it returns the serial number. If it doesn't, the drivers aren't installed correctly.
Next type: fastboot flash recovery cwr.img
Then reboot into recovery and flash your custom rom and gapps per usual.
I'm currently trying out a few kernels on my Nexus 4.
I'm currently running Franco's kernel but wanted to give Harsh's kernel a go.
Usually the kernels/roms I download are ZIP files, which work fine with TWRP, however, Harsh's kernel is an img file.
I found a previous thread that stated TWRP is compatible with img files & they can be installed fine - however - I only get the option to install a zip file. TWRP doesnt seem to be able to see an img file.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
Thanks.
IMG files are installed using fastboot. The command is:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Thought so...
However, this thread does kinda makes out that flashing an .img through TWRP is possible.

I do a lot of ROM/kernel flashing away from a PC. So its convenient just to TWRP without the need connect it the phone via USB.

Hey all...I'm sorry for sounding like such a noob (trust me i'm not as big as one as you may think) I'm just having a hard time grasping the idea of updating my Nexus. Let me explain:
I'm currently running stock rom but have Matr1x kernel on my phone. The only thing I've changed so far are a few icons (by pulling files from the nexus toolkit, replacing the icons and pushing them back to my phone).
I would prefer not to have to go through and redo all my icons, and would just like to get 4.2 onto my phone.
I looked over the directions on how to do this, but for the life of me (and IDK why) i can't seem to get my head around it...and it's making me feel real real stupid...
can someone please explain to me like i'm 5 how to do this? Or maybe just point me in the direction of a youtube video that will walk me through it...?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being such a noob...
Why not just backup the apk's+data you edited, save them to your computer, flash the stock images, root and restore the apps+data?
Edit: And flash a 4.2.2 kernel.

First of all, ditch the toolkit. You don't learn anything when you use toolkits. Probably why you're in the situation you're in.
Backup with titanium, or just make a nandroid and use titanium to extract the apps later.
To flash stock images:
Reboot into bootloader.
Open command prompt and "cd" to the directory where fastboot lies.
Type these commands -
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Optional -
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Then reboot

I extract the adb folder from the android SDK and drop it in C:\.
So for me, it's "cd C:\adb"
I believe in the SDK it's in platform-tools or some such jazz. You can always do a search on your computer...
You have installed the android SDK, right? If not, your toolkit might have the adb and fastboot files in it. Grab them from there. Make it work. You can do it.

There should be a fastboot.exe and a few .dll files, as I recall.
Could someone upload all the latest files needed for adb and fastboot in a zip for him? Won't take you 5 minutes. I'm not by my computer.
Why not flash CM10.1 or latest Xylon.
Back up apps with titanium, flash ROM, flash gapps, restore via titanium.
Or do you want stock?

Download this http://d-h.st/iy0. Unzip it. Plug your phone I'm the computer, go to the directory where you installed the toolkit. (Right click on the shortcut/properties it should say it there) go in the directory, FLASH ITEMS HERE folder. Put the boot.img and system.img in there. (Radio.img is optional). Open the toolkit and go to flash images. Flash boot.img first. The directions should be on the toolkit. Then system and etc... Make sure you put it in fast boot or type no when the toolkit asks if your in fastboot mode. This will NOT delete your data. When you flashed everything, go to settings on your phone. (If there is a bug with updating it through settings, clear cache and data for Google services framework and force stop it. Then go to cache on root explorer (/cache) and delete the corrupt/partial update and try Again). Once you reboot, cwm will ask if you want to install update. Hit yes and install untrusted package. Then it will try to replace cwm with stock recovery so hit no. If you lost your root then get supersu from the play store and install the binaries via cwm.
Hope this helps.

Ok, download the zip files from that thread, on TWRP go to ADB Sideload, on your PC do "adb sideload [zip file here]".
Replace the "[zip file here]" to those zip files so you need to flash the bootloader and radio first so you replace that with the name of the zip file which is in the same directory on your PC where you have set the CMD to read from.
Repeat for the rom and Gapps, of course when you get off ADB sideload wipe the device.

Install kouch universal adb drivers on your computer. Then go on twrp van click advanced and select adb sideload. Then download minimal adb and fastboot( look it up on Google). Then move the Rom you want to use into the same folder as the adb folder. Hold shift and right click then select open command line here. Type in "adb devices" to see if your device is listed. Then type "adb sideload YOURROMNAME.zip" make sure use the name of the zip folder you downloaded.

In addition, I would like by on recommend that you flash this recovery. All you have to do is go into twrp and flash the new recovery. Make sure you download the one that is for your device. With this twrp MTP is automatically enabled. You can move files to the SD card via twrp.
