Hi guys.
I need to send google my device and i rooted it last day. I used the toolkit that can be found on the site, option 8.
If i do a factory reset, would that be enought?

No, but the best way to do it is flash the stock images from Google, will be 100% stock.
Don't forget to lock bootloader as well!

Flash a factory Google image, then make sure your recovery is NOT CWM or TWRP and then re lock the bootloader. Then you should be good to go!

Hi all,
So my nexus won't boot or load recovery.
I can get into the loader screen with the use of the volume button to navigate but it doesn't load recovery.
How do I load a rom onto my nexus in this situation.

Wug's ToolKit is easier than Mskips.
If you struggle with Mskips toolkit, google WUGFRESH
Its the top result.
Did you really need to start another thread when people were helping on your other one? Do you understand how rude that is, and against the forum rules?
I can't get any help in the wugfresh thread so I'm here. I downloaded wugfresh and downloaded his updated files for 4.2.2. I got the thing unlocked then went into bootloop. It will not let me recover or anything. Suggestions?

Hello guys!
This is my first post here so I'm sorry if this is not the place to ask.
I'm interested to Root and put Rom on my Nexus 4.
My question is, it is possible to have Root and Rom on Nexus 4 and still get Google updates.
Hope for an answer soon , Thanks in advance.
Not if you use a custom Rom. You would have to go back to stock to receive the update, or wait for the Rom developer to incorporate the update.

Couldn't you just use voodoo root keeper?

Do a search in the thread for 'r171' and you should find it. If it's provided in .img , you can use fastboot to flash it. (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Another method is to take any other Franco.kernel zip and replace the boot.img inside using an archive manager on your pc. Then just flash the modified zip in recovery.

Okay, thanks! Any reason why we need to use fastboot rather than TWRP or something?

No. It's just a different method in flashing a kernel.

If its an img file you need to use fastboot. Twrp will only flash files that are packaged in the correct manner.

In 4.2.2 I used AOKP. I think they're working on 4.3 now (hopefully it will be out soon).
Cyanogemod is pretty awesome and simple too.

Not if you don't reboot after you unlock. Flash a custom recovery right after you unlock wipe caches then reboot = no data loss

If you are looking for some performance enhancements then you just need a root and CWM(recovery) installed for flashing kernels, check Nexus 4 toolkit. Custom ROMS are more for aesthetic enhancements, and the most worked ROM on the area of aesthetic changes is Paranoid Android ROM, they have regular builds for Nexus 4. So check them out, Enjoy your N4 ! .
