I smell a new trend of installing incorrect phone ROMs.
This is what...the 3rd or 4th person this has happened to? It's a shame it really is and accidents happen. I hope people take more precaution in the future. :/

HAPPY !!!! Got it unbricked :victory:
Just that its become 8 gig version, but on the post there is a fix for that too.
Its 2:10am now in where I am, m too happy that my phone is up will work to restore the missing 8gig tomorrow.
Thank you Simm22 and everybody at XDA ! Salute :good:
Sup xda. So I just won a galaxy s4 Google edition from a contest, and it can't write on my 32gb Samsung class 10 SD card. The problem is the phone, because it would write perfectly on my s3, also I bought a new one (sd card) and it can't write on it either, so definitely the phone's the problem. I read that this is a problem from android 4.3. Is there a workaround or will I just have to wait for kitkat?
I really need it to be able to write on the SD card cause I have some apps that rely on that.
Please help. Thanks

Isn't this a result of 4.3 disabling that feature? You have to root the phone, and edit a file to allow the media_rw group access. There are tutorials out there to explain in more detail.

That S3 issue sounds like you installed a ROM. I'm not suggesting that, I'm just saying you need to root in order to adjust whatever system file needs adjusting. Here's what I found. Good luck!

:crying: My Nexus 4 is stuck at boot screen after installing the kit kat update.
Details of the phone:
- Not unlocked or rooted
- Even bootloader is locked
What I think could be causing it:
- Had installed kitkat google launcher and hangouts etc. available before the update
- google stock launcher and new launcher were showing as optional launchers along with some others I had installed.
- my internal memory left was just around 700mb of which I think the update took 239MB
Not able to figure out what to do
Solution needed:
Please let me know what to do.. in such a scenario. Do note that my bootloader is locked
PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi guys,
I red the whole world about finding a solution for my issue, but didn't find anything that worked. I've got my note 3 n9005 flashed with stock 4.4 and the IMEI is showing null and the Baseband is unknown. I red that the IMEI restoring is done through the EFS folder somehow, but unfortunately I don't have it backed up Didn't find anything about the Baseband as well.
Could you guys help me get my note fixed.
Thanks in advance.

SOLUTION:
After investigating my issues forever I finally found out that my note was a Demo version. The guy that sold it to me lied about it, but anyway I returned it to him.
You can check if yours is a demo when disassemble it. You need to be looking for an antenna (it's a long wire coming from the back-right-bottom of the phone, going to the top of it). Unfortunately I deleted my photos showing where the antenna is, but you could search in google. If there is no such wire, your unit is most probably a demo phone.

Have a read throught that and see ^^
You must read and learn what causes issues before you try to resolve them, If you don't it can cause all sorts of issues.

How old was the image you used? I know there are problems reverting bootloaders from 4.4 back to 4.3.
Have someone make you a fresh image using a 4.4 stock Rom.

I don't know how old it is, but yes, I suppose it comes from 4.3
How is the unbrick image made (windows way), so I would tell someone to do it for me?

That's for the first issue I had. I think I will need to first wake up the device and then hopefully will move forward.

Anyway while waiting, do you think there is a way of flashing the SD card itself with the required files from an original or custom rom.
I mean, if I unzip the rom, will I find the files that I need there?
This might be a stupid question, but might be worth asking it.
There is a t-flash method, but we tried it and it didn't work over in the t mobile section. The problem being is you have to use a working phone to do so, and it is always a risk to the other party.

you'll have to bite the bullet and do what I had to do a few days ago and get it done properly via a phone repair shop
Hi,
I'm a newbie of this gorgeous forum, i've heard of it many times and so, i decided definitely to create an account.
I Have a Nexus 4, 4.4.2 kitkat with the Build KOT49H and about 2 weeks ago i've accidentally deleted, in explorer, 2,95gb mic records files of the program easyvoice recording. They were very important to me, so i stopped using the phone to avoid the overwrite of the hidden/deleted files.
I tried with two methods:
1) Hexamob File Recovery PRO [NEEDS ROOT] , i haven't got root never on my nexus, so the bootloader isn't unlocked too. I can't unlock it because it will wipe all the memory involving the data folders making a total format like the hard reset does. You could say: Backup it?
It isn't so easy, the files that i've deleted are hidden by the memory in the phone (this is why i'm trying to recover it...), unless i'll download or overwrite it putting other files on it, they will certanly be unrecoverable. I stopped using my telephone in order to find a solution to my problem.
So, i've forgot this way to recover my files, and the mean question i ask to you is: Can i root my device in order to use Hexamob without the wipe process?
2) Recuva, Dr Fone Wondershare for Android, Data Recovery, Restoration... ecc ecc
I even tryied to use Windows Softwares such as the mentioned above. But... "luckily" for me, how you should know, many Nexus upgraded with 4.4.2 reports bugs with cable connection with PCs.
Example: when i try to copy all the pictures to windows it give me strange errors ("The library, drive, or media pool is empty.") and i have to copy one to one files per time.
So all the softwares doesn't find the "Nexus 4 MASS STORAGE". I've tried reinstalling automatically and manually drivers many times. Nothing work.
I've only three possibilities to return to use my nexus. Or i wait a google update in order to solve the cable connection bugs, or i wait in april a Dr Fone Wondershare for Android Software Update release compatible with 4.4.2, or i ask to you, my only concrete salvation.
Thanks a lot to all. Really.
Hate to tell you this, but you're sol. You're unlocked, unrooted, and you can't mount the device as a drive letter on the pc. I'd check with the app that's going to be updated in April, but I'm guessing it's not going to work anyway. Let them know you have a nexus 4, I don't think it can do usb mass storage

I have a Nexus 4 with Android 4.4.2 and recently i've deleted very important files and i tryed to use Wondershare for Android to recover it.
It can't well notice my phone because after the second step, it begins by analyzing and at 20% say "The model isn't recognised" and it stop working by restarting the phone.
Please, can you release a version of this software compatible with NEXUS 4 with Android 4.4.2 ?
It is very important for me, i can't use it unless you do it..
Thanks, really thanks, you could save me!

How you've read they didn't mentioned about NEXUS 4 with 4.4.2, but i think the understood. I'm going to write another email in order to point out "specifying" that i'm using NEXUS 4.
Are you sure, i haven't no other solutions...? :crying:
Thanks..
I don't think so if you're not rooted. I'm trying out Dr fone for my own education, but I'm rooted and it seems to be working. It'll take awhile and I might try it unrooted too. I'll let you know what I find out.

If you're rooted it works better than I expected it to. But as you know, if you're not rooted it doesn't work. It's asking for usb mass storage which asfaik the nexus 4 doesn't support. I don't think even the update will be able to get around that limitation sorry

Or can you suggest me what i should wait to solve my problem? Maybe DooMLoRD or other developer will release a toolik that will be able to root without unlock the 4.4.2 in 2-3 moths maybe, isn't it possible?
so i'll take my file....

Any root method involves unlocking the bootloader first. As you know that wipes your device. If there were away to get around that it would have already been done
