[Q] Nexus 4, rooted and attempted to install liquidsmooth (Cant access recovery mode)

Okay well i searched for a while on the forum and on google and could not find a answer to my problem. I recently got a new nexus 4 and decided to root it and put the rom liquidsmooth. Everything was working fine, i did the backups and the rooting went fine. I am using Team Win's recovery menu. So i preformed a factory reset as it said in the instructions to install LiquidSmooth, i have gapps and evrything downloaded and ready to flash but after flashing liquid smooth and Gaaps failing to flash i preformed another reset so i would not get stuck in a boot loop. i rebooted the phone and liquidsmooth was not installed, i then tried to boot the android menu and go to down to recovery mode but every time i go to it i get a nexus icon and a lock pad and its stuck and does not load.
I bought the nexus4 from the playstore last week, 16gb model and my carrier is wind mobile.

Try reflashing twrp

Sounds like you wiped the SD card. Did you format system or data??

Nexus 4- No Bootloader and system wiped

Hi there, I have a Nexus 4 that is bricked (I think) and I don't know of any way of fixing it.
What happened was that when I was trying to flash PSX 4.4 I had stock recovery somehow (had it before, phone is unlocked and rooted) so I went to install that via Nexus root toolkit and it booted into temporary TWRP and it was on the latest version and didn't do anything so I figured it was installed. I proceeded by wiping system, data, cache, and dalvik cache as the PSX post had said to do.
I then proceeded to install PSX 4.4 Kitkat (Latest version) and when it went to boot into it after installing (didn't see it install on the phone via TWRP recovery) it didn't boot into android.
I then went on to find out that TWRP was never actually installed, only booted into temporarly to install itself (which it didn't.) So I tried installing TWRP again from the battery meter, boot up google screen, fastboot mode, and recovery mode. None of these work, and I can't acsess my Nexus 4's internal storage via my PC. My phone is brcked, correct? Is there a way out of this
Please help

I can't see how bootloader was wiped from what you describe
So what happens when you boot your phone, black screen? Absolutely nothing?
And when you hold various combos of volume rocker and power on, nothing?
Plug into PC, led? Nothing?

Are you using a toolkit to do all this?
Hold Volume Down + Power to get into the bootloader.

[Q] Nexus 7 2012 Wifi Model Flashing Problem!!!!!

Hello, I have a 2012 WiFi Nexus 7. I recently read a post that has the link to the latest android lollipop 5.0 system image tgz file available which they extracted from the servers of Google, before they updated the website.
Excited, i downloaded the image, and tried to flash it via wugfresh's nexus root toolkit. (i was rooted). I extracted the tgz file and flashed the different partitions one by one via the toolkit. When i tried booting it, it stayed on the google logo. So went back to bootloader and tried to boot into recovery, but it said on the top left corner in small fonts that "could not boot"or something similar to that. worried, i flashed twrp via adb from the toolkit manually and rebooted normally into recovery. The log said it couldnt mount /system and /data. so i formatted the system and cache partition via adb and formatted /data from twrp. i somehow managed to push a slimkat ROM zip in the internal storage and install it. No gapps, no root nothing. its just like that, functioning normally. i have the original 4.4.4 tgz file. should i flash it via android sdk adb?
Can i be sure it wont give me such problems? and why did such a thing happen? please help me out

Don't use toolkits
Better flash the factory image from 4.4.4 and try again

So you mean i flash using the adb provided by google?
btw, i uninstalled the nexus toolkit but let the drivers be in the system. do i have to remove those too? if yes then how?
and r u sure my filesystem wont get corrupt again with stock adb? coz i never used the toolkit for my nexus 4 for as many times ive flashed; ive used stock adb.
why did this happen although?

[Q] TWRP Copy Files on Nexus 7

Hey guys,
Maybe the problem was already encountered by some of you, ok here it goes.
I'm trying to flash a F2FS Slimkat rom on my laggy Nexus 7 grouper. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP 2.8.2 and rooted the tablet, everything went fine.
After that it got a little tricky, I wiped the system and changed the format partition of cache, system and data to F2FS separately but when I try to mount my Nexus to put the zipped rom and the gapps afterwards, it appears on my Desktop but the files can't be transferred on it.
So my question is, how to transfer the zip files onto the Nexus after rooting it and turning all the partitions into F2FS because afterwards I'm not able to copy anything on it.
Thanks in advance
Saltari

I always use adb push without problems (on F2FS in TWRP, too)

Thanks, using adb push worked. I was able to flash both the rom and the gapps but now I'm stuck on a bootloop with the google logo and the black screen. What did I do wrong ?

I don't know, but here are some things you could try:
full wipe & flash only the rom without gapps
repair the file systems (same menu as reformat) and reflash
try other/smaller gapps (maybe the beta gapps from slimroms? they work for 4.4 although they're labeled 5.0)
try another rom

Stuck in a bootloop?

I recently rooted my (2012) Nexus 7 and installed CyanogenMod. All went well until I tried installing G-apps.
The installation process completed and then the tablet got stuck in a bootloop on the spinning CyanogenMod icon.
I followed the instructions here: http://www.robschmuecker.com/how-to-boot-into-recovery-mode-nexus-7/comment-page-1
but even after doing that the tablet goes back into the loop.
Has anyone got tips how to fix this?

Recovery , re flash ROM try different gapps.

I seem to be unable to do so from recovery mode.
I get as far as where it says flash ROM via side-load but it's not really clear to me what to do there.
