[Q] Nexus 10 missing from USB connections in recovery

Hi All,
I've been trying to sideload the net OTA. The dvice shows up while it's running. I can do a 'adb reboot recovery' and it reboots OK, sits at a screen where it says "no command" but the Windows cannot see any kind of connected USB device, no unknown....nothing. I checked on all 5 ports. In Bootloader mode it shows up OK but not in recovery.
Any ideas?
Thx
Update: Now the piece of sh1t will only boot into recovery....how do I get out of that?!? I tried to reset, I can get into boot loader, but 'Start' or fastboot reboot does not get be back into Android.....and as I'm typing this it reboots itself into the OS.....oh well :-|

I'm having this exact same issue. Did you find any fix?

No but I worked around it:
Download and install the Nexus 10 Toolkit
download the latest TRWP recovery
rename it to that one supported and included in the Toolkit (I found no way to upgrade the Toolkit to 1.7.1 without paying!)
copy it into the right folder inside the toolkit structure
copy the OTA update into the SDCARD
start the toolkit and boot a recovery without flashing (Option 10 I think)
chose the TWRP recovery
once the recovery has booted you install the OTA zip
Mine failed with some assert error (system/bin/debuggerd) so you may need to use the updater script and remove the assert line (and ONLY the line causing you grief)
Make sure you use something like Notepad++ that doesn't mess up the script file
clear cache and dalvik and then reboot
worked for me

Installed OTA 4.2.2 and lost root, recovery shows "no command".

Hello,
I installed 4.2.2 OTA and now Apps keep flashing notifications across the bottom of the screen saying "requested SuperUser" so I went to go to recovery to reinstall apk, but my recovery mode now says "No Command" with an android guy and an exclamation. I tried root checker and it looks like I do not have root any more? What exactly do I need to do if it was already rooted?
Thanks all.

OTA`s break root. Reflash a custom recovery in fastboot if need be and flash the superSU.zip in CWM. That should solve it

Does that wipe my phone? I remember something I did originally wiped it.

I am also in the same position.
I lost my root.
How do I get root access again? I used wugfresh's toolkit, so everything was automated, but his toolkit isn't compatible with 4.2.2 yet...
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? then install custom recovery?
Can someone link to instructions on how to do this? I am completely noob and don't know very much.
Thanks.

Find the download somewhere on here for "fastboot" and "adb", once you have it and all the files, download this .http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako.img Once downloaded put it in the same folder as the fastboot.exe and the adb.exe.
Then in that folder hold shift and right click and select "open command prompt here" and then copy and paste this.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako.img
The type in "fastboot reboot" then you need to find and download the Clockworkmod superuser zip, plug your phone in usb and then upload it to the main directory of your phone. Turn the phone off and hold volume down and then power at the same time. Once that is up press volume down until you see "Recovery" and hit that, either with finger or I think you can press power to select it. Once there select "Install from zip", then look in the /0 folder I think to see the zip you uploaded, select it and install it. once done hit reboot, it should ask you a question. I just hit yes. rebooted, and now I have root back.

Got a quick question; which recovery did you use at the time of the OTA update?

don't flash any custom recovery or you won't get OTA
use superboot in DEVELOPING forum
it will fix everything
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

This incorrect. You will, get the OTA and it will be able to install successfully. You'll just have to take action on a few prompts.

If u dont want to flash custom recovery... u can use fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako.img...flash the zip and retain the stock recovery

same happened to eye. solution all. with prob. adb push superuser from Chainfire to /sdcard/ then flash your recovery then do not boot to android rather to recovery then flash the superuser.zip. reboot, root. if you boot to android OS you will lose your recovery and not have any recovery, just dead droid,... so sad to see droid dead... dont kill droid

Need Help, No OS

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.

My idiot self flashed wrong recovery file..

Hey all,
So I was on Philz recovery (Kangabean Rom) I decided I wanted to go back to normal CWM touch. Flashed what I thought was the right zip and boom..no recovery + yellow triangle.
Turns out I flashed the normal i9505 version
To make a long story short I can't get ANY recovery back despite my efforts. Tried via goo manager to install TWRP real fast, didnt work. Tried via odin but couldn't get odin to see my phone in download mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What state is your phone on. It gets into download mode? Will it boot? Odin is your option right now. Keep trying, use original usb cable, use the usb ports in the back of your computer, try a different computer.

I'm able to boot into download which enables me to boot into the OS as well. I'm going to keep giving it a go on the Odin side, im also downloading the stock firmware as well in case i need to go that drastic.

Update: Was able to install some strange version of CWM through terminal emulator on the phone using some files I found. I tried to flash philz again...wiped it out and got a yellow triangle again..
Think stock firmware flash is the best way to go?

Yes

1. Download this recovery IMG.
https://db.tt/Yp1NzlqZ
2. Move the file "recovery.img" from "sdcard/download/" to root of your internal sdcard.
3. Open terminal emulator and enter the following command lines:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
4. Recovery should have flashed! Enjoy and remember to move the file recovery to the root of your internal sdcard or else the command prompt line won't work.

THANK YOU
I did this and it got a working recovery back on my phone. I think I preferred TWRP to clockwork at this point, but honestly either one does the same thing, and I am able to make a backup of my phone which was what I wanted. Also a phone with no recovery just screams a disaster waiting to happen for me. I ended up losing recovery after running triangle away, has anyone else had this happen?

I had a similar issue, I ran triangle away to get rid of the custom icon, and after that I had no recovery, your command got Clockwork back on my phone, I admit I am more used to TWRP at this point, but any port in a storm! Greatly appreciated! I can actually back up a WORKING version of my rom with the apps I want installed on it, you are a lifesaver!

[Q] stuck on recovery screen.

Hello,
I've rooted my device and installed the hellfire Kitkat rom. Since I was not fully satisfied I wanted to go back to stock rom and then install the latest update from LG.
But now the device only boots into recovery (CWM V6.0.4.7)
I can install a backup ROM but when I reboot it enters recovery again.
I tried entering download mode by pressing "volume UP key" and then plugin usb but it enters recovery again.
Can someone help me please?!

I'm going to be cautious replying here because I'm a noob, but did you try using ADB to issue commands through adb sideload in cwm? If you go to "load zip" (or something along those lines) then "load using adb" (or something similar) in CWM, you can use adb to issue these commands with your computer and it should fix it (at least, it fixed a boot loop for me when I was stuck with TWRP). Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696

First of all. DON'T PANIC!
And even before that - make a nandroid backup! Go in CWM and make a full backup.
You have recovery working so you should be able to load System on it ok.
I am not an expert but let me try to guide you step by step.
1. Make a backup!
2. Download a rom on your computer. MAKE SURE ITS FOR YOUR MODEL # of LG G2
List of roms here:
3. Make sure you have over 70% battery
4. Go into recovery CWM
5. Use Wipe > Swipe to Factory Wipe
(go back on bottom right corner)
6. Go Advanced from HOME screen of CWM
7. Click ADB sideload
7b. (I assume you have the drivers loaded. If not make sure ADB is loaded in windows and device manager shows it. Download basic ADB package so you have "adb.exe" file in it)
8. put your rom in the same folder where you have "Adb.exe"
9. Open command prompt on windows. Goto the folder where ADB.exe is. Then Type "adb push (filename) /sdcard/(filename)". Example, "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"
10. Wait until it finishes its transfer(a message will appear saying the filename, file size and the speed of the transfer per sec when it finishes)
11. Wait for a while or reboot your cwm so that the filename will appear
12. just reflash the file in CWM (Install > choose file). Wipe after again.
13. Voila!

By any chance did you successfully go back to stock 4.2.2 and then took the OTA and then got the recovery loop? If so this will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696

I did manage to restore the backup rom of 4.2.2 Then I downloaded the 4.4 OTA update and installed it. Then it hangs in recovery.
Do I need to have TWRP installed or does this work with CWM too?!

Basically what you need is a root shell whether it's via adb or built into recovery (cwm or twrp)
Searching the forum for "cwm bootloop ota" might give you detailed instructions for your case

When I try to run "adb shell" I get a message "error: closed" what does it mean?
When I run adb devices it returns a serial number. so it looks like it is able to communicate with my g2.
