Guys,
I OEM Unlocked my N4 but now my phone won't get past the Nexus logo.
I did a factory reset, wiped cache & wiped Dalvik cache. It looks like my phone won't let me wipe the davik cache.
I'm stressed out here, my phone won't boot anymore. I just did as i was told. How can i fix this
Because you have unlocked your phone you can get it fixed, good luck!: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
Just go to the bootloader and run the script (please be aware that EVERYTHING will be wiped like files, music, images and much more).

Where do i flash the file to. Wich partition?
Also i'm getting the message "Can't mount SD card" in recovery.
Just put your phone on bootloader mode, connect your phone to your computer and run the batch file on your computer, it will be all fixed at the end.

I did that. My N4 is still not working and stuck on the Nexus logo screen.
HOLY FFFF... "WugFresh's Toolkit" saved my phone. Probably i messed my phone up with my noobness.
Thank you sir! I have my phone back!!
For some it is handy to DO make use of toolkits... Because they are too noob to do it themselves.
I am gladly and willing to learn... But then i need a working phone.

I thought it would be a smart idea to wipe all data on my Nexus 7 before selling it. Now it reboots to "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." i have tried to wipe data/factory reset it in the recovery mode, but that did not work. does anyone know how to fix it?
Just wipe everything and return it to stock with Odin, or fastboot. If you're selling it and have anything you want transferred off it...wipe internal sd also.
Just make sure you read a guide and know what your doing.

Do you have a custom recovery or is your tab stock?
I know this is probably more work than you were wanting to do, but this is a good guide for flashing the stock image and returning your nexus 7 to stock, or recovering from a boo-boo.

Yes i have ClockworkMod Recovery. I'm not sure if i have USB debugging on, it does not say anything when I plug it in, and I am not able to activate it, since I'm locked out.

If you try to flash a new image I'm pretty sure USB debugging doesn't matter because you are in fastboot. Most likely you need to update your drivers and the SDK. The link above has a section on "driver hell" and solutions for it.
In ClockworkMod have you done all the wipes along with the factory reset? If so, I think you will have to reflash.

did you wipe the system?
boot into fastboot, and flash stock image.
Yes that will help... What I've learned from my previous phone, i.e. Sony Ericsson Walkman W8 is never wipe data/ factory reset your phone until you have a ROM ready for it...!! I had the same issue with it but I could pull out the memory card and put a custom ROM into it... So then I flashed the ROM.. And had no problem booting! So... I downloaded a ROM for my nexus 4 before rooting it!!
Just shared my experience... Someone might benefit from it!

Doing a factory reset doesn't affect the ROM.
Anyway, flash the factory system image and you'll be good.

Well it happended with my vwalkman. And also with my brother's xperia ion while rooting. I put CWM on it. And by mistake after the factory reset I rebooted the system and it got stuck on the sony logo... Even the recovery was gone... I had to fix it by pushing a custom kernel with a recovery in it.. Also it happened with my friend's htc explorer... It was stuck on the htc logo.. Cz he wiped the system after flashing the supersu file and then rebooted.. But he still had the recovery..! But that was fixed by simply inhaling a ROM!! I never posted this anywhere as I couldnt find any similar threads...
Hi guys,got a huge problem with my nexus..so here it is, i play around with my nexus 4 twrp recovery mode and came to this option of format/sytem, cache and everything in to that option becoz someones suggested to format my fone thru here, what i did is i click all the options that started with 'format' so i think that was all written in there..after doin it.,i go back to twrps first page and choose reboot now and there,option of not beeing rooted appeared and also ask to root or not..so i click yes becoz i already had a rooting state.then i was waitin for about 5mins and still im in a google logo screen and expecting nexus circles will came up..but not,i was stuck here..
What causing this..did i wipe all the files including the os installed?
I can go back to fastboot mode/bootloader and twrp recovery but still stuck from google logo
I did factory reset, clear cache and everything in twrp but still no luck..
And even the backups not showing..
So the question is,if i will flash image thru fastboot,do i need specific files of stock rom?baseband?country related roms?
Im sorry for all this noob questions, but if anyone could suggest will be greatly appreciated..

Background
- I'm using PAC 4.2.2 ever since I bought my Nexus 4 and was quite happy with the ROM until yesterday
- I started losing out the GSM signal for the past 2 weeks, it would intermittently go off and then come back by itself after a few seconds, at times few minutes (never thought it could be a ROM issue, is it?)
- Google started pushing its update and I had to manually stop data for Google Services from Settings -> Data Usage
Problem
Yesterday while updating Angry Birds from the Play Store the Play store crashed. I tried to open it but it would continue to crash as soon as it would try to load it.
I rebooted the device however since then its stuck on the google logo and doesn't proceed.
I have TWRP recovery installed and when it boots in to (Fastboot is it called?) it shows Secure Boot - enabled and Lock State - unlocked.
Few foolish things that I tried yesterday (in desperation) that might have already screwed up my phone beyond recovery....
1. Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and tried to reboot but it didn't work
2. Flashed the new PAC 4.2.3 version that I had downloaded way back but still no success
3. Tried to take a backup from TWRP recovery however while restoring it fails and shows the message 'Restore Failed'
I really wish to recover the media that is in the phone and contacts if possible.
I have Google Nexus 4 Toolkit (not sure of the version but its like 8-10 months old) installed in my laptop and if I connect the phone and start the toolkit it recognizes the phone against adb (shows a serial number) but when I try to back it up it stops at 'Waiting for adb mode...'
I'm a total noob when it comes to recovery etc. so would really appreciate any help that leads to data recovery in my phone somehow, thanks!
Internal memory is accessible through ADB over recovery so you could easily get your data if it is still there. About the contacts - if they are Google contacts and saved to your gmail - happy days, nothing to worry about. But if they are phone contacts I don't think you'll be able to restore them.
Do you know what is the worst thing about smart phones? That the owner should be smarter than the device in order to operate it.

What would be the steps that I'd have to follow for this? I have TWRP recovery installed.
EDIT: I even tried a complete wipe but it doesn't work. Also tried using CWM as recovery, that didn't work either. Installed the Unified_Android_ToolKit (latest version), updated all USB/adb drivers but whenever I try to backup anything through the toolkit all I get is that it is waiting for the adb mode or its waiting for the USB debugging to be enabled (which I can't since I can't get the phone to boot up).
Any ideas?
Don't try to restore any data after full wipe. It won't work. Flash factory images to get your device into operable state again but before that go to Device Manager and make sure that the phone is recognized by the computer and the drivers for it are properly installed. Good luck. Can you still access twrp recovery?

After having given up all hope to retrieve any data or contacts I wiped the entire phone, format data I mean. However, with that I've ended up with no OS on the phone, I can access TWRP though. Not sure how badly I've ended up screwing the phone. :silly:
Not badly at all... Reboot your phone into Boot loader mode. Download the Google factory images of your choice and run the flash-all.bat file. Enjoy your fully restored phone in a couple of minutes.

How exactly do I run the flash-all.bat file? I tried flashing the factory image using the Unified Toolkit however there comes an error message stating that there is some issue in the program and it has to close. This happens somewhere midway when it starts flashing system.img and recovery.img
EDIT: I can't get in to recovery mode any more and neither can I flash any recovery
EDIT2: Don't ask me what I did, somehow managed to get the phone running in the 4.2.2 version of stock factory image. 4.4 wasn't working for some reason. Setting it up for use now.
Question: Can I simply download 4.4 factory image and install it on my Nexus 4 which came with 4.2.2. when I bought it?
Simply: Yes

Even when I wasn't able to follow any of the instructions you provided (my bad though) I would like to thank you for just posting on the thread man! :good:
BTW a good news that I'd want to share is that my contacts were backed up I lost on the media but its fine I think, probably a good lesson for future.
I'm updating to 4.3 from system update as of now, will use it as it is for time being and move on to 4.4 sometime later maybe. Not sure whether 4.4 will be available for update OTA once I move to 4.3 but I'm happy with whatever's left of the phone for now...thanks again!
Hey all,
my wife dropped my previous Nexus 4 many times and now the screen is dead. Would like to sell it for parts. Digitizer still works. Now, I would like to clean everthing, and it a perfect world, install Lollipop!
But, I need to get access to the phone. I've spent many hours now reading different methods, but I'm getting to a common issue: USB debug (ADB) not enabled. I would need to get in recovery mode and put a custom ROM. However, even with the method to get into recovery mode, I would need the screen at the choice at boot to select Recovery, unless someone here tells me exactly what button to press to get into this.
I'm also open for any other solution.
Is the bootloader unlocked? Do you have a custom recovery? If your bootloader is unlocked you can boot into twrp custom recovery and get access to your files though it.

Well I only got in the boot when I got the phone the first time a year ago and wiped everything to factory, so I don't think I still have the bootloader unlocked, unless wiping everything doesn't wipe the bootloader.

Unless you specifically unlocked it using fastboot or a tool kit I doubt it's unlocked. Which is too bad because it would have made it easier to get to the files. Now you'll have to blindly use the keys to get into recovery and do a factory reset. And hope for the best because you'll probably never know for sure whether you got it right or not.
