Okay, but this is general section, not Q/A and should be there but today is Friday and I am tremendously happy lol
1. Download 4.4 Radio and 4.4 ROM. (say thanks to Imperticus)
2. Put both zips in your sdcard
3. Go to recovery and do: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system (optional, advisable for upgrading to 4.4)
4. Flash Radio.zip
5. Flash ROM
U don't need any gapps since this is a factory image...
If you want a rooted/deodexed/busybox ROM download this one in stead of the other (say thanks to fireb33)
If u have any problem just let me know.

Flash Stock+Unroot (choose 4.4 option), after that root and put recovery. check if radio and bootloader ok.
P.S.
I think it's good for 4.4. to wipe device and do clean one.

you do realize that most the people here on xda do not use english as their first language? unfortunately not everyone here speaks or writes in english as well as you. hopefully you can understand that, and have a bit more patience and understanding, thank you.

ive gone and broken everything
ive never had issues updating various cyanogen versions once originally installed clockwork recovery. always been as simple as downloading and transferring the zip to SD and booting to recovery and installing from SD when i didnt do the auto updates which still took me to recovery at reboot. but i got impatient for the 4.4 version which reading from cyanongen is in no hurry to release because just released milestone version of 4.3. I downloaded the 4.4 zip right from google and tried installing it from SD like i always did after doing all the various wipes. The google factory image wasnt even recognized by clockwork. so doing some googling got here with steps to radio and os images got them transferred over and booted to recovery and they were at least selectable. got radio to go through. the actual os got error 7 during install, which doing even more googling said should edit a file in the zip contents. Too bad now cant get past the google logo and goes right back to recovery menus for me to transfer editted zip file for the error 7 problem. So im at least partially bootable but no clue how the heck to get myself out of this mess ive gotten myself into due to my impatience and wanting latest and greatest for my nexus 4. would love any help in how to undo problem i caused because the whole adb thing is foreign to me

Hey guys I just flashed 4.4 and everything is fantastic but when I go to storage it says I only have an 8GB(5.whatever free) model when I really have a 16GB...

Hey i've soft bricked my n7000..
basically i just need to know what exactly to do now, kernels etc
ideally id like to be running Midnote 3.3
anyone kind enough to reply with help would be seriously appreciated!
Maybe if you gave some more information on what how when and why ?
Nobody can help you on a 'hey i lost my car can someone tell me where on this planet i parked this morning?'
Agree on above poster. We need to know what rom uou were flashing from, by what method, and the issue now.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Fair enough was thinking there was a straight forward fix, as in just flash this and do this etc..
i was running Midnote 2.1, i was on LP1 and tried to flash Midnote 3.3 using CWM.. it wasn't flashing as i couldn't see the .zip rom at all..
i then done a few factory wipes and basically just wiped the davlik and cache and tried any options in CWM
The issue now is that when i boot im stuck at the samsung splash screen..
I can boot into recovery and into cwm..
And what exactly happends now ?
dead black screen ?
Samsung logo blocked ?
PC odin doesn't connect ?
Can you enter CWM recovery ?
Can you enter boot recovery ?
I think you better try and flash a safe GB kernel and rom first
Then do a full wipe, then flash whatever you like.
You can best flash through PC odin for the stock GB

Stuck at Samsung logo
Can enter CWM and recovery, odin works as far as i can tell
I would suggest trying to flash a stock gb rom via pc odin. If you get stuck at the factory.fs stage you may well be superbricked because of the cwm recoveries and wipes on lpy.
There are a few threads on sorting out a problematic emmc section. But we'll get to that afyer youve tried this.

Thank you, I don't mean to be an effort but you hardly know where I can get a safe GB kernel and rom? i just want to be sure as im getting kind of worried now
Check out dr ketans thread in the stickies of d3velopment section. Theres loaf of info there. Its pretty straight forward if you flash initially to an older rom for your region. Take a look itll make sense promise.

nope you dont need a kernel when flashing stock GB rom
but 1st keep ur fingers crossed and pray that you get through the ODIN installation method
copy the GB rom file in ODIN folder and open ODIN and click on PDA and select the downloaded GB ROM file and press START
You legends! the stock gb rom worked perfect...
now comes the slightly trickier part.. loading the Midnote 3.3 rom
anyone using this rom? 2.1 was great!
whats the safest way to flash this, kernel wise etc?
thanks again lads
also, now that im back on the stock gb rom.. do i need to root again????
i tried getting into cwm and it brought me into android recovery mode ( still had install zip from sd option)

Yes, you will need to root it if you didn't flash a GB pre-rooted ROM.
And I think the CWM.zip file is on drketan's thread.
Guys im running midnote rom fine BUT it keeps vibrating every 5-8 seconds........................
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.. any ideas!???
hi all,
so after a series of stupid decisions, i have no rom on my nexus 4
i can boot into bootloader and recovery (twrp) but for some reason cannot mount it to my computer so i cannot transfer a new rom
i tried using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 to flash a stock rom, but the n4 would get stuck at the boot animation, so i tried to wipe cache in the recovery. this only made it get stuck at the google logo
does anyone know of a method to somehow transfer a new rom to my phone?
any help would be greatly appreciated
You can use a toolkit found in the development area of the forums. They should be able to flash stock rom on bootloader via fast boot.

If you had never used a toolkit in the first place there would have been no need to create this thread. You would have known how to fix it. Fastboot is your friend.

Been there done that. As the post just above me says download the Nexus Root Toolkit. Follow the directions. Only tricky part can be installing the drivers. Also make sure you are installing JSS15R before you put KitKat on.
If you have a mac you'll have to download the Android SDK download some tools and make a folder with ADB and fastboot in it to flash back to stock. Then you can install TWRP, root and install kitkat.

Make sure you grab the right twrp file for your device. make sure you have your loki file in the ADB tools folder.
Use this Guide and it should work like a charm
i recommend changing the name of your TWRP '.img' to 'recovery.img' so its easy to type in the command window

No, recovery and root are different things. Download the root checker app from the playstore and check. TBH, OTA is a bit iffy, so best to backup data to an external place, then flash factory image.
Thanks for the suggestion mate.
I'll surely follow your advice.

Most straight forward way to get hold of the recovery.img from KTU84P is to extract it from the factory image. Otherwise you need to look around xda for a download link.
