Having a bit of bother getting my nexus up and running again. Pulled my phone out my pocket and it was turned off. Powered it on but it wouldn't get past Google screen. No twrp recovery. Nothing. So done the usual and get nexus toolkit out. Re locked and unlocked bootloader. Downloaded stock 4.2.2 flashed it but still stuck at Google screen. Can get in to fast boot but that's it.
Any help appreciated because I'm not sure what to do next
Cheers
Steven

Can you get into recovery?

Nah I can't get into any recovery so can't wipe anything.

Try going into fastboot, and flashing stock with the official firmware from google (Type Nexus stock on Google). If you want to, you can even replace the recovery.img inside the zip for a custom recovery

Been installing stock from fastboot but can't get into recovery to wipe it so that it will boot.
What program can I use to compress tgz files. I've changed the recovery to twrp but not sure how to pack it up again

When I flash stock with nexus 4 toolkit it comes up archive doesn't contain boot.sig recovery.sig or system.sig. Why is this?

If you know how to use the ADB and the fastboot command, that is the way to go. It is by far the best way to go. Use one of the guides on this website, don't have the direct link but look for efrants guide for returning back to stock. Search isn't working now

Okay so like many of you cwm isn't sticking and when I go into recovery I just have the Google logo, I want to flash ROMs so installed ROM manger and found that if you boot into recovery through that app you can get into cwm.
Would like some advice on which is the best and safest method you have used! Thanks

i assume so, since i use it over and over and over again. anyways, theres a file you have to remove or rename in the /system/ fs that causes the recovery to not stick. most custom roms already have it removed, stock rom you have to remove it. the file is recovery-from-boot.p, rename it or remove it and your recovery will stick(at least twrp, cwm should also).

I need to flash the stock image as I can't update to newest build after deleting some Google apps. Anyone know the procedure if I wanna flash it through fast boot?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
You can try searching for it yourself... There is the nexus 4 toolkit which is pretty easy
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
fastboot flash system system.img
Please don't use the toolkit.

If you ask about app that can flash a recovery, goo.im can do that.

Flash twrp, then find a zip file with the recovery you want and flash that? Or buy flash image GUI from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui sounds like that does what you're looking for

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
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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.

So you have a 32gb device but you only have 16 now? You didn't reboot after you unlocked the bootloader did you? A factory reset in the stock recovery should fix that

why flash a new rom? did you already tried to just factory reset?
