[HELP] Brocken Screen - How to backup data on PC - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
First I apologize for the bad English
I have a problem with my Nexus 4. I broke the display.
I'm trying to download information that I have on the phone - pictures, music and other documents.
At the beginning of the situation:
1. Phone is locked with a pattern when I broke the display. I tried a screencast, but when I install the Android-SDK folder does not appear on C: \ Program Files \ Android. I tried on other two computers to install to be able to run through screencast phone.
2. I Downloaded Ncry Toolkit and it scored phone in fastboot mod, and from there install CMW to be able to sign in at the ADB mode.
I tried to format the phone and start to read it as mass storage, but also did not work. Phone launched with the Android tutorial in which I can not go Because a display does not work.
Please, for ideas on how I could remove the information from my phone....

somebody help...

Format
I suggest you Wug's one. enter in your phone with adb shell, then you'll be able to rm -rf /data/.
Anyway, the target is to perform these commands from your computer, having your phone in fastboot mode :
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache

CWM recovery, not bootloader. I don't think fastboot lets you mount /data and pull files.

While you're in the recovery screen, use these commands to backup your data:

He's trying to back up his data, not wipe out the phone, don't listen to this ahole.

I was answering to the perhaps misunderstood last sentence which was "how can i erase information".
Si keep your hole on your chair and your anger in too.
And my instructions were clear enough for him to know what each of these fastboot erase would effectively erase.
You're assuming he's a dumb ox to follow blindly m'y instructions.
His asking was confusing too.

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 type in command from PC.
open cmd prompt from where u have fastboot.exe

u should see a ?
then type: fastboot erase userdata

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.

[Q] phone not booting!

So I was following all the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
and I did flash the stock 4.2 img. Now, after unlocking the boot loader, i didnt exit the fastboot mode and stayed in. And continued the steps of section D (all of it). Then I did a fastboot reboot , and Google appeared and below it unlocked lock and then the jellybean logo. It's been almost 20 min and it hasn't passed that screen yet. The rainbow colour X.
What do I do to fix this?? I can go back to fastboot mode, but not sure what to do. I did the fastboot erase cache before rebooting my phone!
Look at the notes of section D.
You have to reboot into recovery, clear cache and factory reset.

I did this though: 13) Erase the cache partition: fastboot erase cache
14) Reboot: fastboot reboot
Okay, and I will try to do that now.

Flash it again using fastboot and the official Google image. Recent nexus devices are strange, i never had problems before but softbricked both nex4 and 7 just like that. If you can enter fastboot mode all is well though.
Ps. That tutorial, that was the longest one I've seen in my life. Are you aware that Google images contain clickme.bat files? You literally click it and it's done. Just make sure you have fastboot and adb installed. You can extract them from nexus toolkit as well.
If you do wanna make it by hand, also no problem. Download the image from here:https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
And type:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
Exchange the correct names of course. And make sure you're in fast boot mode.

Okay, im gonna go and do that! Thanks!
I was trying to mount the sdcard with nexus 4 but it wont do that with CWM and TWRP.
okay I think I just lost access to everything on my phone :|. I am still on TWRP, is there anything I can do with that?
I accidentally wiped the system files ugh. So I lost bootloader which means my phone is empty and useless and im still active on TWRP.
This is what I did in TWRP:
went to WIPE menu and did the following:
1)Wipe Cache
2)Dalvik Cache
3)Factory Reset
4)Wipe System
5)Wipe External storage ( didn't work - failed)
6)Wipe Internal storage (deleted)
So I have a boot loader still ?? or is that gone too? I am still active in TWRP. What are my options to fix this mess I've gotten myself into =\.

for the next time, you better learn what all this stuff is and means which you are flashing. i cant help but thinking its dangerous what you're doing there. if you are in twrp you're free to install any rom, your phone is pretty much safe if you can access it. wiping system wont kill your bootloader, system is a partition, your rom gets installed in there. you can wipe it, most roms even do it by default in the installation script. if your bootloader is gone you'll know.

[Q] Boot Loop (CM Recovery)

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
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/manta/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-manta.img
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
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
adb sideload gapps.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
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
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
If you have an issues at all please copy and paste all input/output from cmd/terminal here

[Q] Nexus 10 stuck on Google logo

Hi I've done stupid thing for myself:
i tried flashing 4.4.2 stock rom. coming from 4.2 (i think) did the usual format data/cache. then rebooted then it loops on google logo. I can go to recovery mode.
So are you rooted? Custom recovery? Looking to flash stock? What bootloader do you have? Ota flash? Fastboot flash?

I still cant get fastboot up. ive used minimal fastboot and/or SDK Package. also changed the path for environmental variables.
So more info will help, usually the more info you give the faster your issues can be fixed
Are you in bootloader mode? I take it your using windows, what version? Has adb or fastboot ever worked before? When you type
fastboot devices
You get nothing? Can you post a screen shot of terminal, of environmental variables? Are all proper drivers installed? Does anything pop up in device manager when tablet is plugged into USB while in fastboot, recovery or os? Are you using factory USB cable?

sorry about that.
im in fastboot mode with power and both volumes pressed. i can also go into recovery mode TWRP v2.5.0.0
also rooted and yes windows 7 64 bit. recovery mode or fastboot mode . it doesnt recognized my nexus.
not sure if i have the right drivers. i cant find any drivers to download for nexus 10
Does anything pop up in device manager when tablet is plugged into USB while in fastboot, recovery or os? - No
and yes im using nexus 10 OEM cable.
i really appreciate the time to help me out with this issue.
Its no problem,
The SDK should have the drivers you need, or you can install the universal drivers made by koush or a number of others as well. Just Google search or a search xda for terms like
Nexus 10 drivers
Universal android drivers
Android naked drivers
You will find many that will work just fine for you
If in cmd you type
fastboot
And you see a list of commands than you know you have it installed
When you type
fastboot devices
And you see your serial number your good, if just a blank line then you need to get tab to communicate, this is most often a driver issue. If you can't find ones that work let me know and I'll link some to you, also you may need to uninstall old drivers and than manually install new ones, windows doesn't always do the best job of picking the correct drivers

Its no problem,
The SDK should have the drivers you need, or you can install the universal drivers made by koush or a number of others as well. Just Google search or a search xda for terms like
Nexus 10 drivers
Universal android drivers
Android naked drivers
You will find many that will work just fine for you
If in cmd you type
fastboot
And you see a list of commands than you know you have it installed
When you type
fastboot devices

finally found the driver that works and now
i get R32D2009DAT
Im assuming thats serial number whats the next step
Google search
Android factory images
Here you will download the correct one, latest manta for the nexus 10
Then extract the contents of the zip
Now if you want to keep custom recovery that's a good idea but if you want KitKat you will need stock or at least update to the newest twrp (as you current one won't flash kk)
So if you want twrp then google search
Twrp recovery manta
And then find the latest image, 2.6.x?
Oh and its a good idea to check md5sum for both the zip from android source and for the recovery image, both will tell you what it should be in download screen and there are many ways to check, just google search
Windows md5
There is both official and none official, I personally use Linux command line and can't recall the name of the program I use for windows off hand
Also note that the following commands will wipe all from tablet, it is good to do this but if there is anything real important back it up first
Now from fastboot, enter these commands
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
Now find the bootloader image you extracted from the android .zip
fastboot flash bootloader nameofbootloader.img
Now if you want stock find the system image
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now find the twrp recovery image
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Here you can boot to new recovery and install superuser or just boot to pure stock, or if you want one of the many great custom ROMs you can boot to recovery and use adb sideload to flash one

i deleted my os

hi...
i unlocking bootloader
and i want to install factory image
but first i open recovery and i deleted every thing format system and every thing becase i want clean -_-"
so .. when I plug the phone into my computer while in fastboot and try any adb commands.. I get <waiting for device> nothing... It seems like the adb drivers aren't loading while in fastboot
i Didn't have this problem with my other N4
please help me -_-"
Only fastboot works when in bootloader, adb needs a custom recovery or android to work. Use fastboot to flash the images (run the install all bat file).

Connect your device to the PC in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices". Do you get an output?
Remember that you have to run the command line from the folder where your fastboot.exe resides.

It happened to me once upon time, I've deleted EVERYTHING, only adb fastboot was working for me, so i connected my phone to my laptop and pushed system.img by wugfresh toolkit.. Try this way.. I hope it will resolve your problem.
