Hey all, I'm having a problem with my nexus here and its driving me crazy. Basically i was behind on updates and running 4.2.2 (Paranoid Android) until today. I decided I would upgrade to the newest Paranoid android 3.99 RC2. First off, i downloaded the stock nexus 4 images, and flashed em all through fastboot. Then i flashed the newest CWM (6.0.3.8 i think) and proceeded to flash PA.
But when i booted into PA, i had no cell connectivity as well as unknown baseband, imei, and imei sv, even though the baseband is clearly shown in fastboot (its 0.84). I tried reflashing the baseband, no luck. So i reflashed the stock google img's and my imei and everything came back.
So i tried a second time and it still didn't work. Seems like whenever i flash PA, i lose my imei and baseband.
Help me out guys
Anybody?

DID you do a full wipe before flashing?
I would be very careful and stay stock until you get an answer. Without IMEI your phone is illegal and won't work. I've stayed away from C /M as it's buggy and has too much trouble, like this.
Sorry

If you are coming from 4.2 make sure to flash 4.3 Radio and Bootloader!!
Follow this guide:

Yes, I did a full wipe, even the SD.
I flashed the full 4.3 stock Google image through fast boot first. So I should be totally up to date.
I will try TWRP and see if its the new CWM that's messing things up.

The CWM version you used has a bug which derps your baseband when you flash anything. Simple fix: install any other version of CWM or use TWRP, then flash everything again (radio, rom, whatever). This happened to a lot of people. You'll be fine.

Wanted ask if it will be possible in the future to update to the official cm10.2 with reinstall and wipe. I ask because I got friends and family all on nexus 4's cm with Franco kernel and I should them how to update but I just don't want to have to reinstall because that is too many people around the world.
I am talking about updating like thru settings how I do with the nightly.

CM10.2 uses Android 4.3, while 10.1 use 4.2.
So no, it will never be possible, too many system changes.
For the most part, will be okay. I've done it a few times without any major undesirable effects.

I think it is possible if you flash bootloader and baseband! If it doesnt boot then do a clean install.

you dont have to flash the bootloader/baseband, thats just an option.
you can always try dirty flashing, usually it works, sometimes it doesnt. make a nadroid backup just in case. if it doesmt work, you can either restore your nandroid or wipe everything and flash.

Doesnt it cause problems sometimes if you dont have the latest baseband and bootloader?
I never tried to dirty flash a rom, only for updating CM10.1 nightlies I did. (And I only had it on 4.2.2, now CM10.2 unoffical)

I was able to flash CM 10.2 over CM 10.1 with no issues. Make sure to also flash the new Google Apps!
Hi, I own a rooted nexus 4 currently running 4.2.2, I just tried to install CM 10.2 and it went to a boot loop, so I restored a backup and its stock again (with cwm recovery)...
What should I do? What can I be doing wrong?
Sergio, computer no work what wrong?
Flash the new 4.3 bootloader and radio using cwm. Then do a full wipe and flash your 4.3 ROM of choice.
Downloads: bootloader and radio.

Try going into the stock recovery and wiping the cache. If that doesnt work, do a factory reset using the stock recovery.
I tried do what you suggest but still don't work :/

there any different between the versions ? 48/54 and 84
Not much I've used all of them. When I flashed 4.3 I did it with images from the Google page in bootloader mode. I updated all my Android pc software "I use Windows". I locked and unlocked, then flashed in bootloader. I had one issue I missed spelled something but very thing went well

Try flashing the 4.3 baseband and see if it loads. If it does then I suggest you use a hybrid baseband by morrislee.
Hi, I'm currently running the last AOKP nightly based on JB4.2.2.
Every time I try to update to a more recent, 4.3.1 based version, I fail miserably
Even after a full wipe I get bootloops, the setup wizard crashes, or titanium backup fails to restore much needed (non-system) settings / apps. I get lots of freezes or random reboots along the way...
Am I the only person with such problems?! I found mentions that root is somewhat broken since 4.3 and that current root applications are still unfit to compensate... Is this true?
How can I update to a newer, AOKP based Rom? Is there a official or unofficial version that is stable enough to serve as daily driver? Do I need additional apks? How can I restore my titanium backups?
Thanks in advance!

Did you flashed 4.3 radio (.84) and the latest version of bootloader?

I flashed the .84 radio but have no new bootloader... Where can I get it? Can I still downgrade to 4.2.2 if the update fails?

Here for the bootloader and if you have a backup of your 4.2.2 rom you are ok.

Make sure you have the latest version of your Recovery and bootloader before flashing the rom.
Hi xda people I have a problem I dropped nexus 4 about 6 months ago and sold to workm8 which he fixed himself for 90quid. Anyway he ota updated to 4.3 fine it was locked and unrooted then he got bootloop in 4.4.2 ota update so I had a look for him. I was able to use wugs toolkit and stock to unroot to 4.2.2 which works then I tried locking bootloader and ota to 4.3 which bootlooped. I also try to revert ro stock and unlock to 4.4.2 but same any ideas? Out of ideas im guessing maybe nand block is not writable maybe? I did drop 3 ft. I googled but only found issues with nexus 7 ota

Did you wipe after you flashed the KitKat factory images?
Does the phone display the proper baseband and imei?
Edit I tried to wipe data and cache thru stock recovery after ota update to 4.4.2 still not 100% from wugs
Not sure I presume I did. I definetly did wipe before going to kitkat by booting custom recovery from wugs and then reverting to stock 4.2.2 I only tried ota update from there. I think when I then tried 4.4.2 same way that 4.2.2 worked I may not of. Guess ill try again at some point but he just wanted to play with new toy so I just put on 4.2.2 for now.
So is the ota flaky as I thought all data would be kept anyway. Thanks for advic3
Imei and baseband show on bootloader but not on hand at mo so dont know baseband it on.
I also tried sideloading stock rooted 4.4.2 zip but same bootloop and sure I wiped after and tried again may be 2rong getting confused I tried for few hours lol

Dunno if it's part of the problem, but remember flashing different versions, make sure that you are using the correct radio.
You can find the IMEI and Baseband in Settings>About phone

Yeah I remember I upgraded or did I downgrade radio about 6 month ago. Ill get the baseband info and get back to you
