[Q] Nexus 4 does not boot after the nexus logo

Hi
Basically I am new to android. I rooted by nexus 4 yesterday and installed CM 10.1 successfully. But I had some issue with the security settings so I tried to flash the system.img as per the instructions in one of the forum. But flashing didn't complete fully. Now my nexus 4 boots up only till the nexus logo and the logo keeps glowing. clockwork recovery works fine.But unfortunately i deleted the CM 10.1 zip file from the mobile after i installed it. Is there anyway i can push the rom into the mobile. Or is there any recovery option?? Please help
thanks.
Its a lot of flashing but you could restore your nandroid redownload the rom and reflash it

how to restore nandroid?
Wipe cache and dalvik cache through cwm
He is assuming you made a nandroid backup of your original ROM. Did you? You could also boot in to recovery and perform a factory data reset.
Yes im assuming because thats the first thing you do before flashing lol

Try the side load option with adb and cwm only thing I can think of

Thank you. I used the "install from side load" option and pushed the CM 10.1 zip file into the mobile. Now I am using AOKP rom.

Hi,
Did you use the correct recovery for your phone.
It seems you have your own forum.
Look HERE

How did that happen? And yes I've made one back up that worked and now it won't let me make any more. I've got over 2 gigs of internal storage available. I've even tried do a back up to external sd card, which has 3 gigs of storage available, and it says the same thing.

Do you think ifi flash another recovery like twrp for example that would work or am I just wasting my time?

Hi,
It is definitely worth a try.
But You should be asking in your forum,not this one.
Also,look in your dev threads for the correct version for your phone.
That was it. Must have been something wrong with the cwm recovery because I flashed twrp and it worked perfectly. Thanx for the suggestion.

hey, I did pretty much the same thing you did. just take a deep breath. if your phone turns on at all even just the lg bootsplash it can be saved. download these files on your pc http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Sprint+LS980/
and follow these instructions using the files from the link above. don't use the verizion files though! the steps are the same as sprints but the files are not. just make sure you follow every step. this is a last resort option but it will bring it back to life.
At&t or sprint

In twrp go to advanced then click adb sideload. With adb on your computer, copy your rom to the adb folder rename to rom.zip. Then in adb type 'adb sideload rom.zip'. It'll flash your rom for you. If it doesn't work then in twrp reboot recovery, it'll ask you to root. Swipe to yes. And repeat. Viola

CWM Recovery error

Everytime I try to install a rom or any zip file in cwm, it could all files and everything but towards the end it says error loky-fying or something like that. Thanks to this my device was stuck in a boot loop for a while. It installs like 1/4 of the rom. Enough to see the boot logo and then it reboots.
I also got this error installing the white display and see through notification panel. Although it is working fully.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569237 go back to stock then. Cwm its not stable... use team win recovery..... and create a back up just in case your phone wants to act out.

Yes go back to stock and download freegee app in the market.. One click twrp install with the Loki bypass.. Easy as cake..cwm is poop
Cwm is poop, I agree lol
Will this delete app/user data? Flashing CWM did not
If so is there any known workaround at all?

[Q] Installing 4.4.2 via OTA

When the download finish it says reboot to install, when the phone gets to recovery mode installing the update it says error installing update, what should i do?
Thanks

Are you on 100% stock MK2 unrooted? If you are on a custom ROM or have a custom recovery with root it will not install the zip as it checks to see if your phone has any modified files.

The phone isnt rooted and it has the stock recovery, as u said how can i check if there are some modified files?

Did you delete, froze any apps that came with the phone? Did you install hotspot or anything that modified the system?

If you really want to update to kit kat then just odin mk2 .tar and do a fresh install again and just try the download again.

You won't lose your data. A stock tar install does not erase data unless you do a factory reset.
Ok then i will have to wait for the update.zip from Sammobile firmware
