Hi im confused on how to erase everything on my phone. I was on paranoid android rom and wanted to try out cyanogen. i wanted to erase everything first because i was running low on storage unfortunately. So i backed up pictures and sms to my PC. I try to erase all through my custom recovery (clockwork) with no success then i go to settings and erase all content and settings and the files are still there. I tried this about 4 times with no luck. What am i doing wrong?
Edit: I might be in bigger trouble. I formated everything under clockwork settings and rebooted and I am stuck at the google logo. I can go back to recovery though. I cant sideload any roms though to start up
When you are just trying to clear all apps and data for the ROM you are using, go to recovery and just wipe /data and that should be it. This leaves the /system alone so your ROM is still there when you boot. May have to flash gapps again though.

You cant choose the sideload option under the recovery menu? Just do that then connect to a computer and type adb sideload /home/user/romofyourchoice.zip in Linux terminal or windows command prompt. That saved my ass a few times. If he can't do that go into your bootloader download a complete image of stock then use the fastboot command and reflash every partition one by one then once that boots up you can continue from there.

I dumped the rom in the sideload folder and typed adb sideload romname.zip and it says adb devices not found.

I modified my previous post refer to it hopefully you can still do the fastboot flash command. You should be able to find a stock image somewhere unzip the zip file and flash the images with the fastboot flash command (example fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img) just make sure you flash the img files to the right partitions

What you did in clockwordmod was erase the contents of system, data, cache, and Dalvik cache. If you already have downloaded and copied the ROM you want to the "sdcard", all you need to do is boot into recovery again, select Install, select the zip file that contains the new ROM, and press the power button to install the ROM.
If you have the ROM downloaded but have not copied it to the phone, move the ROM file to the folder on your computer where you installed adb and fastboot. Boot your phone into recovery and select Mounts and Storage then connect the USB cable from the computer to the phone. Confirm that phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" or press toggle button to change status as necessary. Open a command prompt on your computer by clicking Start -> Run, typing cmd, and pressing <ENTER>. At the command prompt type cd C:/Android/ replacing "/Android/" with the path name to the folder where adb is installed and press <ENTER>. At the command prompt type adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip replacing "ROM.zip" with the actual filename of the ROM you downloaded and moved to this folder. Now disconnect your phone from the computer and close the command prompt. From the clockwordmod main screen select Factory Reset, then Wipe Cache Partition, and Wipe Dalvik Cache then repeat full wipe twice. Finally, from the clockwordmod main screen select Install ZIP from SD Card followed by Choose file from SD Card, select the ROM.zip file you pushed to the phone's sdcard, and.press the power button to install the ROM.
When clockworkmod reports "Install from SD Card Complete.", return to the main screen and select Reboot system now. The first boot following a fresh installation of a new ROM can take several minutes, just be patient while the ROM initializes the system, applies customizations or updates, and boots to the phone's setup screen.

I wiped everything in TWRP on accident. the only thing on the phone is TWRP, no backups, nothing. i was wondering if there was a way to get all the system files and such back?
it can not unzip files.
the only thing it can do is run twrp. that's it.
TWRP can only restore backups it's made. Unless you copied them off the device before you wiped it.. you are out of luck on doing a restore.
You should be able to reload a Rom though.
If he were to try and flash a stock.zip, how would he get it onto /sdcard?
Mount USB in TWRP
1. once you are in twrp click the mount button from the recovery
2. mount sdcard - it should show up on your computer
3. download http://www.mediafire.com/?gtxrohbc4gmu4m8
4. copy the downloaded file to sdcard
5. in twrp tap install, select the file, clear the small button with "X md5" or something like that(if you don't do this the kf will not install the rom) and install it - ignore failures about volume /misc - the kf don't have a volume /misc
6. on the screen where you return after installation tap clear dalvik/cache (in the lower left)
7. go to you command prompt and issue "adb shell idme bootmode 4000" and "adb reboot"
8. be patient - the first boot takes long time
9. enjoy !
you don't have to root it because this rom is a prerooted stock rom
What would this forum do without b63? Thank you.
Ok thanks a head of time my tab is stuck on booting primary image kernel it had flex rom 4.0.4 and skrilaz cz v8 boot loader and when I search I don't find anything that really helps me . I had bricked it trying to figure it out but got it back to the stuck in boot loader stage my tab it can go to apx mode and I can use the recovery and it charges and I have tried 3 ICS roms and i'm still on the screen .

Make sure you are running the most recent CWM (1.7.2 or 1.7.3)
Boot to recovery, and this time, do all your wipes
Wipes Menu
a. wipe Data/factory reset
b. wipe cache
c. wipe Dalvik
Go to Mounts and storage
a. Format system
b. Format Flexrom
Install rom, and make sure it's a rom with an ICS kernel.
As a last chance if the above normal things don;t work,
you may have corrupted data somewhere, and in this case, go to Backup and Restore and toggle Data Media. NOTE: This will wipe your tab clean of fotos, music, etc. Everything.
Then do your wipes and formats.

I have tried the suggested and I'm still on boot loader.
ROMS I used
FLEXREAPER-ReliX-GT_Rev1 ANDROID 4.0.3
RE-FLEXxx-ShellSHOCKRev1.1
Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1-DEODEXED-FULLROOT
Also on CWM1.7.3 latest
Wiped everything twice and didn't see any change so should I try a stock Rom and just revert to non root ?
You can also wipe userdata from fastboot: "fastboot erase userdata". You may try using adb after a while and do logcat, from where you can see what's the issue.

You have to have the Android SDK installed on your PC.
Then you will find it in Program Files (or Program Files (x86))/Android/Android-SDK/Platform-Tools/ There you will find fastboot.exe

You probably got "java' is not recognized as an internal or external command."
You still need to install the Java dev kit. Go to Oracle, and get the Java Jdk7 and install it. (remember, android uses Java)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Then, after install, view this video to set the PATH, then do the same for CLASSPATH
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D13ZSPA1Ff0
You won't get that error anymore.

Okay I downloaded the java 7 and followed the process but still got errors so i went to sdk folder and did it over
I went by this video and it worked "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw"
After I got commands to work i typed fastboot erase userdata and i got on my tab "erasing uda partition then it said Done.
I used the cmd to reboot table to recovery and download a new ics rom.
It didnt work it went back to its ussal stuck on v8bootloader self. What do I do now ?
I'm in the exact same position right now. On ICS v8 bootloader, flashed latest re-flexxx rom, tablet was sluggish. Turned it off in order to restart it. Upon restart tablet froze @ "booting primary kernel." I tried everything I could as far as doing things in CWM (flashing different roms, none would get past booting primary kernel | tablet won't go into APX Mode) Tried flashing TWRP via CWM, now I can't even boot the recovery kernel.
Booted into fastboot, erased userdate. Sent fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (CWM). Said flashed SOS Partition successfully on tablet. Tried rebooting into recovery, same thing; freezes at booting primary kernel. I'm pretty sure this is the end of my A500 lol.
Hi,
The N4 of my wife has big problem.
I wiped in "custom recovery" (TWRP) some stuff for return all in factory settings (this was stupid, I know)
Now, when she reboots on recovery, there is a message "No OS installed !"
How fix this, please ?
Edit: I tried with a toolkit, everything seems good, but when I boot, I have only the google screen.
Edit 2: I send with adb: image-occam-jdq39.zip, but when it failed when I try to install it.
Thanks.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions
^^ negroplasty has given you the link to download the latest factory image. You can flash that to your phone no problem as long as you can boot into the bootloader (from off state, hold power + vol down)
Connect phone to pc, go to bootloader
Throw the image you want to flash to the same folder where your adb tools are
Open terminal, change directory to that folder
Then write: ./adb push EXACTNAMEOFROM.zip /sdcard/
Example of me trying to adb push Xylon
Then go to "Install" on your phone, sdcard, select the image, swipe to flash and that's it, hope this clears it.
First of all, I know that there are many people asking same thing. I have checked those threads and I guess I am just a little bit more clueless. Last time I was able to use my Nexus 10 was 3 months ago. Since then I tried to solve it many times, but no luck so far. I will try to explain some of the issues I'm experiencing, but I'm afraid I'm not too good with all the expressions people are using on this forum.
1. ADB vs Fastboot
I see this mentioned often and I don't know what exactly it means. It's amazing to me that I can't google it, I'm usually good with googling. I can see that my N10 is sometimes listed under ADB and sometimes under Fastboot devices but I have no idea what I did to change that. I do know that whatever I try to do at certain point, it's always in "wrong" mode, waiting for adb etc. So if someone can point me to a thorough explanation, a wiki or something, that would be very nice.
2. The Loop
I managed to get ClockworkMod v6.0.4.3 installed and it's this loop that device is now inside. I've tried pretty much all possible combinations, wiped both caches, did factory reset, rebooted to system/bootloader/recovery... nothing. Always ends up on same CM menu.
3. Android Toolkit
I have installed this on my computer and tried so many things that I forgot about all details. I tried flashing the big 400 MB stock image to the device, but haven't been successful (says waiting for ADB, even if the device WAS listed as ADB device before I started the procedure). I am also expecting to see the N10 as another "drive" from my desktop, if you know what I mean, so that I could copy files to it. However I don't see it that way, I only see it registered as a Nexus 10 device, like a mouse or any other non-drive device. Is this normal?
So what to do? Can anyone tell me in a simple way, because I am obviously stupid enough to find threads I've seen so far not clear enough. And I would actually think that my computer literacy level is rather high, I think that this Nexus 10 is the only thing that brought me to my knees in last 20 years of working with computers.
And when I say "simple wiki style" I'm thinking of something like this:
Ok. no links allowed, great. It's a redmondpie article named
/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
This is easy enough for me... but do I assume correctly that all this has already been done with me installing Android Toolkit? If so, it uses a different path structure and I don't see all those folders...
So u do have cmw installed, when u try to flash a ROM it just boots to recovery?

You mean flashing ROM only with CWM, not through android toolkit? Through CWM menu I have tried (many times):
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalwik cache
I don't see way to do anything with:
- install zip
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
Rebooting menu items do following:
- Reboot system --> reboots to same CWM recovery menu
- Reboot to bootloader --> reboots to the stock bootloader "menu" where I can choose between Start, Power Off, Recovery mode (picking this will reboot to CWM recovery menu) and Restart bootloader (picking this will reboot to this same menu)
- Reboot recovery --> reboots to same CWM recovery menu
1 adb works only in os and recovery, fastboot works only in bootloader
2 it looks like your recovery is screwed up, flash this with fastboot

3try not to use toolkits, you have a nexus, toolkits are more complicated than manual methods and you won't learn anything from it
Once you have recovery
Wipe all, then you will will need to use adb sideload to flash ROM as you have no ROM on emulated sdcard
Go to advanced menu
adb sideload
adb sideload nameofROM.zip

The first part worked ok. The second part doesn't.
ADB sideload - I went there in the Nexus menu
adb sideload kitkat2501.zip
returns this:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
If I do it without starting adb sideload on nexus, then it just says "error: closed", so it does recognize the change.
I downloaded the latest sdk tool, 64-bit, and the stock nexus 10 rom from 25th Janaury.
Let's do this, grab the latest stock for manta from here

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
And extract and run the flashall.bat
This should bring you to the latest official software/firmware. Then with you up and running we can root and give you custom recovery,ROM,whatever

You are a wizard. I got it all ok now and I added CWM to it, it was easy to root it from there.
Hello,
I saw that the OTA update to Lollipop was available on my phone today, so I went ahead and let it download. Upon completion of the download, it restarted and applied patches, then restarted again and has been stuck in boot loop for about an hour. After reading several other threads on how to try to reset the phone, I'm stuck. When I try power + volume up or down, the LED status indicator flashes red and I never get to any kind of other screen. Am I completely screwed? I previously had stock 4.4.2 with no modifications.
Finally was able to get to the bootloader menu. Apparently having the phone plugged into the charger was preventing me from getting there for some reason. I ended up having to wipe the phone to get it to boot
so you can get into clock recovery right? download nexus 4 toolkit..that might save your phone. I suggest you to unroot and flash everything to stock and then unlock again and start everything from scratch. good luck.
Similar issue on an OTA upgrade to an unrooted N4. It's stuck on the Lollipol boot screen with the rotating Circle thingies.
I can get to the Android System Recovery but there's no CWM or TWRP on my N4. I'm guessing a factory reset will fix it but is there a way to preserve my pics/files on the phone before doing so?

I guess TWRP Recovery has option to enable MTP and you can access the internal SD card by connecting mobile with computer using usb cable.

Flash TWRP Recovery using fastboot.
1. If you have otg y cable, connect it and use file manager to copy all the files.
2. OTG method is failed then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your Nexus 4 to your computer and Enable MTP in TWRP. now you can use adb pull and push commands.
I ended up going the factory reset route, which wasn't really a bad thing. My photos had been backed up in dropbox and the play store remembered all the apps and were able to reload them. The only things I really had to do was reload some music onto the phone and re-enter passwords for apps.
Same story here: sideloaded the OTA zip file, then had bootloop. Tried a few approaches, but none worked. In the end only wiping the data was the solution for me. Lost some userdata in a few important Apps...
I went through this yesterday. The only way to get it to boot is a Factory Reset from Recovery. It works like magic, but sucks you lose the data.
Got the OTA yesterday and also got a bootloop(stuck in boot screen animation). I couldnt afford losing my photos/videos as i had no backup , so i figured out a super easy to get it to boot without wiping data .
I was unrooted with stock recovery running stock 4.4.2, bootloader was unlocked. I flashed CWM recovery through fastboot and wiped chache+ Dalvik from there then simply rebooted the phone .
I had already tried wiping cache from the stock Android recovery,needless to say that didnt work for me.
If anyone else is having the same problem please try the method above and report back, cheers!
I post this on Google Product Forum 2 days ago. Hope it helps
https://productforums.google.com/for...Q/wDzRUm4b2UsJ
(updated 29/11/2014)[not perfect but it is a SOLUTION]
The idea of this is to downgrade your nexus 4 without wiping your data, which means stuff you will need includes:
1. adb and fastboot on your computer (I am using mac but you can find it on windows as well. There are tones of website and forums telling you the latest method of getting it onto your computer)
2. factory image of nexus 4(I use 4.4.4, since that's what it was. I don't have the time and energy to try to do the same thing with lollipop. you can try can leave a comment).
update: do NOT try to flash 5.0 rom using this method. You will be stuck at boot loop again
3. usb cable
4. nexus 4 with unlocked bootloader(the process of unlocking bootloader will wipe your device)
5. computer
steps
1. unzip the factory image (something.tgz)
2. for me, after unzipping the .tgz, I still find another .zip inside. unzip that too.
3. hold vol+, vol-, and power button simultaneously to enter fastboot mode
4. open terminal(mac)(it would probably be cmd for windows)
5. connect your nexus 4(in fastboot)
6. to make sure it connect successfully, type "fastboot devices". if something like "005040c0d54bb291 fastboot" appears, you are good. Otherwise, try reconnect your device/boot to fastboot again/use another usb cable
7.now we need to tell the terminal to navigate to the location of the unzipped factory image. to do that, i suggest you put the unzipped folder to somewhere easy to find, like desktop. these are some commands to help you navigate:
"ls" allows you to look at whats inside the current directory of the terminal. For example, this is the output after typing "ls" for me:
some folder Photos
nexus4image.tgz how many folders do you have
5.zip occam-ktu84p
more folder occam-ktu84p.zip
after knowing where you are, use "cd" (below) to go to your folder
"cd" means change directory. For example. "cd Photos" will brings me to the "Photos" folder. And then if I type ls, I will see a whole bunch of photos in my photos. If you go to the wrong folder, type "cd ..", and it will bring you back to the previous folder.
8. flash bootloader.
enter the following command, BUT REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME TO FIT YOURS(DIFFERENT VERSIONS HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME AT THE END(type ls first to help you type the correct name)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30d.img
9. reboot bootloader. just copy and paste
fastboot reboot-bootloader
10. flash radio
enter the following command, BUT REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME TO FIT YOURS(DIFFERENT VERSIONS HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME AT THE END(type ls first to help you type the correct name)
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.03.img
11. reboot bootloader. just copy and paste
fastboot reboot-bootloader
12. flash system
system.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate. This steps takes the longest time, total time on this step is 87 seconds while the others are less then 1 second
fastboot flash system system.img
13. flash boot
boot.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
14. flash recovery
fastboot.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
15. format cache(not the memory, so everything should be fine)
fastboot format cache
16. reboot and wait
this will reboot your device. You probably have to wait for a while to initialise all the apps. after than you are good to go!
fastboot reboot
