So I rooted and switched ROM's many times on my MT3g, and now that i'm trying it on my MT4g, I'm having hella trouble.
So I got to S=off and its perarooted now, with ClockworkMod Recovery image: 3.0.2.4. I tried to update the Kernel to KB-Kernel-2.4.8-108-CFS-SV... put my phone with the stock ROM into a boot loop, so i restored it. Tried to update the Kernel then immediately install CM-7.0.0... again put it into a boot loop, and had to restore. What am i missing here? Should be partitioning like with my MT3g? Should i be wiping? Is there something else I should be installing?

That's your problem. You can't flash a kernel before the ROM, because the ROM's standard kernel immediately overwrites it. Try wiping all 3 items in the recovery menu, flash CM7, and then let it boot. Once CM7 is stable, try flashing your kernel. Just make sure it is compatible.
Sweet, thanks. Hopefully it works.

Wipe factory data
Wipe catche
Then go into advanced wipe dalvik
Should take 30 secs max to wipe, 5 mins max to install and reboot
Then flash your Rom and reboot. Once its rebooted then try flashing the kernel. There is no reason that won't work assuming you do have s-off

If what Mark said doesn't work, I'd look to a corrupt recovery image, or more likely a bad download or SD card.
Aww... I'd be hella sad if I had a bad sdcard. My problem was that I wasn't wiping the correct things, but now thanks to you great people I finally can flash again! Thanks!

Glad you got it working. If Mark or I have helped you, maybe you could hit the thanks button.
Make sure when you do a kernel you wipe cache and than davlvik and than flash the first time kernel and than repeat the process and than flash your desired kernel.

Hi Guys i was trying to install a rom but i got an error like this one on the wipe data factory it says Skipping format of /sd-ext.
and when i go to the restore part to flash a nandroid to restore my phone it says something like this after restoring cache i get this
sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext.
What can i do guys?? my phone its not working at all, i just got this yesterday =S
please help!!
What did you do exactly?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Umm, unless you have an A2SD partition on your SD card, recovery won't see it and therefore there is nothing to wipe.
Most problems can be fixed by flashing the PD15IMG.ZIP found in the downgrade tutorial, but that may not be necessary.
More details will help us to help you.

ok the last rom i used was InsomMIUI but i wanted to flash another rom, when i get to the CWM i was doing everything normal you know, wipe data/factory reset,
wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions, when i do the wipe data/factory reste i get this--> Skipping format of /sd-ext
and when im trying to do a restore with a nandroid i get the same thing
so i went to the mounts and storage and if im not wrong it have to be UMMU but the mount /sd-ext part doesnt let me change it to unmount i dont know if that's the problem cause the error that im getting its related to the /sd-ext
This is normal and expected. Ignore this. It's not an error.
Dude this is normal... Mine says this all the time.

Lol. Did you try rebooting your phone after the restore, or did you just assume it doesn't work?

By stock build for downgrade do you mean the PD15IMG.ZIP in the downgrade thread like I originally said?

As the title says... i just formated my ****ing whole system
wanted to change roms and used this crazy complete cleanup script
didnt know that it would format EVERYTHING
so now im standing here with a phone with only a twrp recovery... no system no backups ... nothing
i somehow need to push a rom to my device and install it
problem is im totally blank when it comes to these adb shell things
could someone give me an advice how to get a file to my phone?
nexus toolkit doesnt work
So, assuming you can mount to your computer, download a ROM. Try the chemistry ROM? Or the stock rooted one. Whichever. Got to recovery, find the ROM and install it.
This is assuming you can mount with twrp. (Its in mounts)
In front of a live studio audience
If it won't mount, use adb to push the zip(s) to your internal storage.
it does not mount... and i somehow cant get adb to work
Try adb side load in twrp
Edit: its in the advanced menu.

Don't use a wipe script next time...
Even better, don't wipe at all. Just do a proper backup and dirtyflash.

Wow. Worst advice ever.
Next time, do a factory reset and wipe system. That'll do you and keep you from having those little issues that are caused by doing dirty flashes. Sometimes they work just fine. Others, they give you hell. It's one thing if you're upgrading between builds of the same ROM. Even then, though, it's a risk.

That's like saying never ever drive because if you steer into a pole, it's bad. Don't steer into things and it's fine. If the OP learns to correctly wipe, this won't be an issue ever again.

I wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, then wipe system every time I change Roms. I've done this for years on every android I've had and never had a problem. Don't wipe internal storage though.

On what? If I wipe data on TWRP I lose everything on SD. Wiping system wipes the system partition. There are many reasons I don't use CWM, poor backup locations and inefficient menu layouts are among them. If wiping system wipes the SD, I'll add that to the list.
TWRP all the way! Way better than CWM in my opinion.

Agreed. I would sacrifice an infant to get 4EXT Recovery Touch on thus baby. It has a "Format all partitions (except SD card)" option that is amazeballs.
ive done this before. to fix it you need to download the stock google nexus 4 image. google has taken it down from its webste but there are people here in the forums who have uploaded it to help and have other people download it.
now download and install the nexus 4 root tool kit
to fix your phone your are going to put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your pc.
then open up the nexus 4 root tool kit program.
next find the google nexus 4 toolkit folder and go into it. (mine saved in my local disk C)
go into the "put google factory image here" folder and drop the google factory image in there.
once thats done go back into the nexus 4 root toolkit program and press number 9 (download, Extract + flash Facotry image"
since you already downloaded it and put it in the factory image folder you're going to click option number 2 (flash google image)
then type yes and let it do its thing
make sure that the factory image that you download is in a .tgz or .tar file or else it wont work
I hope that helps!!!!
I flashed Quarx's CM10 ROM and it runs completely fine at first, but then when I reboot my phone it gets stuck at the splash screen and won't load the operating system. The only way I've found to fix it is to reset to factory defaults, which isn't really an ideal solution as I don't want to have to reinstall everything every time I reboot my phone.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do?

Just clear dalvik cache in custom recovery. You can find it in "Advance" menu. Dalvik cache has to be clean before first boot. You can wipe all caches just in case. After this try to reboot a couple of times to see if this issue persists.

I have cleared all caches and nothing has worked. I've left it to try and boot for at least an hour several times, but it just doesn't want to boot.
I'm only having this problem on CM10, by the way.. 7.2 still works.
Strange issue
Check after reboot in BootMenu (in 'boot' section) if it still boots in 2nd_boot and not in 2nd_init or normal. Normally if it boots in 2nd_boot at first, it should stay in 2nd_boot.

Try a format to ext4 from bootmenu.

It boots into CM10 then I when I restart the phone it gets stuck on the splash screen again.
And what happens when only format to ext4+ cache wipe(no wipe data).
Also cm10 for me sometimes hangs or boot loops on first run, removing battery and powering up manually fixes the issue

Same thing happens, it just hangs.

Yeah, that's right. It's really weird, though.. because CM7.2 works flawlessly.
Really very weird. Does the booting problem occur even if you make no changes to the filesystem and simply reboot after first flash?
You can also try a sbf flash, though it probably won't help much

Okay, I tried that and I think I figured out the problem. My phone is carrier unlocked and I'm with a different provider, so I have to flash a soft sim unlock on my phone which is causing boot problems on CM10.. any ideas on what I should do?
If your phone is carrier unlocked, then you don't need to flash any unlock

My phone is locked to a carrier, "unlocked" was a typo.
I have been crack-flashing on my GNex for years, and am now transitionting to the VZW LG G2. Have run into an error I have never seen before, and I can't figure it out.
Everytime I try to wipe something in TWRP (the newest .2 version), it gets to the make_ext4fs formatting of either the Cache or the System (when I tried to manually wipe the system instead of the standard factory reset), it just keeps going and going and never finishes (I have let it run for 10-15 minutes at most, I can't imagine the cache needs more than 10 minutes to clear).
Anyone have any ideas here, do I need to install a different version of TWRP, or is it something corrupted in the base?
Nevermind... Please excuse my impatience, I let it go for 30 minutes now and it just worked. WOW that was a big cache!

I just had this problem too so i did what you said and left it for 30 minutes and it ended up finishing the full wipe
Actually guys its an issue that needs fixing, or at least could someone knowledgeable explain why cache wipe takes that much time?

It got to do with the wipe method. The fix is to use rm- f as the method. You can find the setting under the advanced tab in twrp.
