hello XDA,
I recently purchased a nexus 4 from someone on craigslist. the phone came with something called sabermod and ive never used it before. i have tried flashing the factory image with the nexus 4 toolkit and using command prompt and the sabermod still persist. I need some help returning the phone to stock. Sabermod also doesnt give me the play store in the app drawer.
Thank you guys in advanced
OK sounds like the person never flashed the gapps. Download these http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=gapps
Reboot into your custom recovery and flash them. Reboot and play store should be there.
Try SaberMod it's a good ROM.

Yes if you want to you can also download the latest SaberMod update and flash that first then flash the gapps. Or just the gapps if you want.

If you want to remove SaberMod, you can flash a ROM over it. Check out the sticky. It's extremely helpful. As you will see at the top of that thread, and in every thread that contains flashable zips, no-one is responsible for damage done to your device via flashing except for you. Nothing bad should happen if you follow that thread to the T. If nothing else, just read it, it will give you all sorts of information about the process.

is the google stock image considered a rom? if so i have tried that X_X
This is a stock flashable image https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B76WZ1xWiSuNWW1vNFdTVUtjaTQ/preview?pli=1
This is a stock ODEXED flashable rooted image.
Please read up on flashing. You need to do full wipe so take your time and learn along the way.:thumbup:

so i flashed my gs4 with the google version rom, it boot up fine, but then i turned off my phone and it will not boot anymore. i have to do a full factory wiped all the time to get it to boot...
So you flashed the rom, patched it, booted up, used it for awhile. Then turned it off and when you turned it back on it wouldn't boot without a factory reset? Weird. I'd try to reflash it doing all the wipes first and see if that works.

Yep, just downloaded version 1.3 of the rom, doing the same...just frozen at the samsung (unlock icon) screen that show up before the google boot up screen...
so just to make sure i am doing this correct:
i reboot to the TWRP recovery page, then do a full wipe, then install the rom.zizp, then install the loki.zip, then reboot system...right?

Did you make a nandroid before flashing and can you get back to where you were? There's another guy who's having problems with v1.3. He didn't Loki and now he can't get into recovery. I wonder if there something with the Rom. Don't think so but who knows

Well, give it another try. Re download the rom and Loki. When you download them look for a long alpha-numerical number that's on the download site. That's the md5. After you download the file you can check the file properties to see if the md5 is the same as what it said on the download site. You'll probably need a md5 checksum app if you don't already have one. If the md5's check out you know you got a good download. It's not uncommon that the download isn't good. If you use root explorer or a similar file manager on you phone, long pressing the file will let you check the files properties and you'll see the md5

what model number are you? what wipe functions are you currently performing?
if i was doing this atm, i would wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. flash rom and ktoonsez loki'd TouchWiz kernel if you're at&t. wipe data, cache and dalvik again. reboot. let the device sit a few minutes and reboot it to see if it successfully boots in.
Google Play Edition Stuck on Reboot
If you are stuck on the boot screen after flashing the ROM and rebooting, go into the recovery and wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache partition 5 times then reboot. Every reboot after this should be fine.
I flash TWRP using goo manager a few days ago. TWRP starts in blue splash screen and nothing happens. I have to reboot and retry a few times for it to eventually get into the menu / options.

Twrp sometimes takes a few minutes to boot for me. Sometimes taking out the SD card seems to speed it up. But yeah drives me nuts.

2.6.0.0 and 2.6.1.0 seem to both do that for many folks.

Never had TWRP just not start at all. 2.6.0 was slow to load, as noted above, but did load every time. I'm running the latest now, 2.6.3, and it seems to load quicker.
I was able to use it for a few days with the power and volume up key no problem. Then when I tried to go into the recovery it would not load several times and I thought I have no recovery. Then I went into the program goo manager and was able to easily launch the recovery from there. Hope that helps someone get back into a working recovery.

I have already rooted my g2 and installed twrp, i also downloaded clean rom 1.0 which you can find in the roms section but how do i flash it? I've never flashed a rom before? This is my first time ever doing anything besides putting a launcher on my phone. So when i downloaded that rom i transferred it into a ROM folder and than transferred it onto my G2, i can see it when i go into recovery and when i click on it a whole bunch of things pop up. So my question is, what do i select once im in the Rom folder to flash it?
Open twrp wipe .. If you read the cleanrom op. There's a setting for faster wipes. Once its done wiping click install. Find your ROM. If you can't find it click "up a level' see if you can find it there. Then click on clean ROM and swipe to install. Is should take 5 min to install when its done reboot.. #BOOM you're in

I wiped everything in TWRP, Now all I can do is go to the LG screen start screen and back into TWRP.
I have a D803, is my best method of recovery to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Were you just trying to factory reset? You might have wiped system as well. If so, you would need to flash another ROM. But if you literally wiped everything, then that means you wiped internal storage, too. Which means you will not have anything to flash in twrp. Therefore, yes, you will have to use the flash tool in that link, and flash the stock image

Awesome, Thanks. I knew I was doing something wrong, when I wiped it. But I guess I get to learn a little more, the hard way.
If you haven't ran lg stock tool yet you can sideload a ROM using adb. Hold on and let me find the link. That way you don't lose root or twrp

No, thank you for the follow up though.
It just happened that when I did this I was one day into a 7 day shift at work(a mining camp) and for some reason the LG Mobile Upgrade Tool won't install on my computer, which I think is because of the networks here.
So I am really hoping that it will install when I get home, It installs to 10% then stops and the only info I can find on the problem is to try deleting all other LG apps first and changing Firewall/proxy settings, which I cannot change here.
If you have any other ideas that would be appreciated. I asked LG on their website for any help with the app install.

Thanks, I never saw this post, I am a real beginner at all of this, can I really just sideload a ROM, because the other method is the kdz file. I only question this, because one file is 211MB and the other is 1.8GB am I missing something else? Also if sideloading does not work, can I still try the flash method after? Im not worried about losing root or twrp, as they are very easy to reinstall.
Hey Guys,
It took me a little while, but it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help.
