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.

For kernels it's fastboot flash boot boot.img

That's also an HTC phone.
We do not have the capability to flash .img files in recovery.

Thanks for clearing it up.
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.

oh I'm an idiot!
Just noticed that theres two download links for the Harsh Kernal. Ones a zip (for flashing in TWRP) & the others a .img.
Didnt notice the first link!! :silly:

I get stucked showing an android laying on its back with the triangle thing on its tummy.
I have to randomly press my hardware buttons to get to CWM
is there anyway I can fix this that when I choose recovery mode it will go directly CWM?
That is the stock recovery. Not clockwork recovery.
I'm guessing you used the command "fastboot boot" instead of "fastboot flash" when trying to flash recovery.

I was able to flash the CWM already tho.
I'll just reflash the CWM.
This could be your problem too.
From efrant's N4 101 guide:
" 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."

Hi all,
I'm freaking out here. I was trying to install a kernel on my N4 using the Toolkit and somehow it said it was done successfully but then my phone got stuck on the Google screen and was never able to start up again.
I do have a Nandroid back up but unfortunately it's on my computer and not on my phone.
I tried using the toolkit AND adb to push the files to my phone but I get the same message: "failed to copy to sdcard: No such file or directory".
I'm completely stuck now and am panicking. Somebody please help!
And this is why we don't use toolkits.
Read up on how to use fastboot and how to boot into fastboot.
Then read up on where to find stock images and how to flash them in fastboot. Then do it.

Why would you use a toolkit to flash a kernel ...just download zip go to recovery cwm or twrp and flash...
Can you get into fast boot ??
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Might also be helpful if you specified which kernel you flashed. As long as you didn't flash a kernel for a different device (e.g. nexus 7) you can definitely recover. To reiterate what others have mentioned, fastboot is your friend. There are numerous tutorials on his to install and use it. Check the stickies.

Yeah I can get into fast boot and even into CWM. I tried factory resetting in CWM but it still gets stuck on the Google screen.
The reason I used the toolkit and not CWM to flash the kernel is because CWM kept failing to flash the kernel, giving me some error and "(bad)" message. It is the kernel to improve Nexus 4 sensitivity directly from another thread.
Can someone please provide me with specific links or detailed instructions?

Thanks for your help. I've successfully follows the instructions and got back to Android 4.2.2.
I still want to restore my previous Nandroid though. Although I have placed it in the Clockworkmod backup folder, it's not being seen by CWM recovery. I tried backing up a new nandroid just to test and CWM sees the one it backs up.
Anyone know how I can get CWM to recognize the Nandroid which was done through the toolkit?
Thanks!

Ok well to solve the problem I did download the stock images and flash them according to Effrants guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=34552123
Then the reason that CWM wasn't recognizing my Nandroids was because I had them in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups, but they should be in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.
I recovered everything and I'm back! Thanks for your help everyone.
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?

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.

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.

Only STOCK factory ROMs are flashable this way...
cf. this line from the flash-all.* script for the full factory image of Jellybean 4.2.2.. for 'grouper'.
Code:
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jdq39.zip
In image-nakasi-jdq39.zip the following files are found...
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
----
CUSTOM ROMs, however, can only be flashed via a CUSTOM RECOVERY, such as CWM or TWRP.
And as korockinout13 alludes to, it's a trivial matter to FASTBOOT FLASH a custom recovery... and then flash the ROM of your choice.
If you already have FASTBOOT (and your question suggests that you do)... then what's the problem?
Rgrds,
Ged.
The bootloaders of different Android devices have differing capabilities precisely because they are proprietary. Moreover, it is the bootloader that actually implements the heavy lifting of installs etc - the PC fastboot program does little more than send ASCII commands and push blobs of data across the USB cable.
Some Android devices have had bootloaders that understand how to unpack .zip files that contain other types of archives (.tar files, et cetera) but required that the .zip file is placed onto an external SD card using a standardized name for that device. (When the bootloader starts up, it would look for that file automatically). But this was for signed factory bundles, not for arbitrary aftermarket customization. In any event, this doesn't apply to the N7 afaik.
None of these behaviors are standardized though; each vendor decides how it will interpret and respond to fastboot commands from the PC.
The N7 bootloader clearly understands what a sparse ext4 image file is (for use with system.img and userdata.img files) - if it handled them as a pure binary blob, how would it be possible to use the same userdata.img file with 8Gb, 16Gb, and 32Gb devices? Moreover, the N7's "fastboot format" command clearly is capable of creating ext4 filesystems.
So would it be possible to create "sparse ext4" system.img/userdata.img image files corresponding to a custom ROM that could flashed in exactly the same way as the factory image using fastboot? Yes, absolutely. (I've done just that.)
But this is NOT the same thing as taking a custom ROM .zip file (intended to be processed by a recovery using an "edify" script) and flashing it with fast boot; it ain't that easy.

Not a big deal. You need to download the factory image for your nexus 7 and find instructions on how to restore with fastboot. That will take you back to factory stock. Or another option is to fastboot flash TWRP custom recovery and use the adb sideload feature within TWRP to flash a custom ROM of your choice. You can find instructions on both of these procedures here at xda or with a simple Google search. Let me know if that works out for you.

Can someone help me, I have same problem but i extracted my Zip file and have Boot.img if i flash that will it work again
Decided to wipe the dust of my Ultra Tablet and upgrade to Remix 2.0. Was playing around after rooting it and I never did a nandroid backup. I had to flash 1.5 from fast boot and upgrade to 2.0 and then put cwm and root all over again. can't believe no one made a flashable zip of 2.0 So I made one. Haven't tried with the stock recovery but I'm almost certain you have to have a custom recovery to flash this. The zip is based off a test build I got from jide for 1.5 just added the stuff for 2.0 seems to be working fine for me but use at your own risk.
I'll also include a link to an old CWM and Philz Touch I compiled. The CWM recovery can be flashed.
Philz touch can only be booted through fastboot as it is too large to flash and I don't have my Linux box to really try and get it to compile at the right size

Decided to wipe the dust of my Ultra Tablet and upgrade to Remix 2.0. Was playing around after rooting it and I never did a nandroid backup. I had to flash 1.5 from fast boot and upgrade to 2.0 and then put cwm and root all over again. can't believe no one made a flashable zip of 2.0 So I made one. Haven't tried with the stock recovery but I'm almost certain you have to have a custom recovery to flash this. The zip is based off a test build I got from jide for 1.5 just added the stuff for 2.0 seems to be working fine for me but use at your own risk.
I'll also include a link to an old CWM and Philz Touch I compiled. The CWM recovery can be flashed.
Philz touch can only be booted through fastboot as it is too large to flash and I don't have my Linux box to really try and get it to compile at the right size

Sent you a private message, but not sure if it went through...
Hey, saw your old post on the flashable zip(s) for the Jide Ultratablet. Not sure if you still use it. I've got mine rooted and have been tinkering with it, didn't realize there was a custom recovery for it. I'd love to flash CWM and back things up just in case. I also see you shared a "stock" 2.0.305.
I should be able to flash the CWM through Fastboot and then if I ever wanted to return to latest stock I could use that flashable 2.0.305 zip?
THANKS!
You should be able to flash the recovery through fastboot. Or you could just boot into the recovery using fastboot boot recovery then the path to the recovery img file. Then yes you would be able to use this to flash back to stock. Not sure but I think I included the stock recovery when you use this to flash back to stock.

Okay... so if I were ever to flash your "stock 2.0.305" your saying you think it would put back the stock "remix recovery" and in essence create an out of the box 2.0.305 tablet?
Yes

One more question... did you do anything special to get into Fastboot? I see a lot of issues with people getting into it.
If you are rooted there is an app that will reboot into fastboot or recovery for you. Or you can do adb reboot fastboot when connected to you pc

I am rooted....So downloaded Quick Reboot and when I choose reboot to fastboot it takes me to a screen to select fastboot, which then just reloads the same selection screen again. Doesn't enter fastboot.
Edit - So downloaded Flashify and that worked.
If I remember correctly That selection screen is fastboot. if you adb fastboot devices you will see the Id for the remix
