Hello. I was hoping someone could help me get my phone back to working again. I had cynaogenmod 10.2 installed and then decided to upgrade to kitkat. That worked for about a week until my phone got stuck at the google logo. Since then, I tried to adb sideload my old CM back into the device with which only partially works... It will boot sometimes, but it has all kinds of issues with wifi, Bluetooth, making calls..etc. In fact, at this point all roms seem to not be able to install via adb sideload now. I would ideally like to have kitkat back to running again. I have clockwork recovery if that helps. I see lots of forums talk about fastboot, but I do not know how to get fastboot working. I also don't care about any data on the phone. It could be wiped clean for all I care. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Follow this guide really carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Contains step by step fast boot procedures.
Don't worry, you'll recover your device.
Good luck!
Wugfresh toolkit will have you up and running in no time.

Yep what he said. I completely messed my phone up a few weeks back couldn't get past the Google logo. Wugfresh had me back to stock with no problems.

Hi,
Regretting this now but was trying to try out a different ROM after a long day so probably missed a step somewhere....
The situation now is that following normal procedure, my Nexus was wiped of user data, new ROM zip file copied across and loaded using recovery mode. After that, it had some error setting permissions with the new ROM and did not install properly (loaded but blank screen, apps, settings etc would not load).
I tried the process again and the same result, but now, I cannot even get adb working, the device is coming up simply as an unknown device and I cannot force install the google usb driver to get adb working again - so now I cannot even copy stock across to the Nexus.
My question is, without adb working now, have I fully bricked it or can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
If you can get into boot loader you can fix it.

To elaborate a little, you'll want to get into the bootloader using the method quoted above, and then use fastboot (or nexus toolkit) to flash a stock image.
Thanks guys, managed to recover back to stock via fastboot and the command line just now .... this will teach me never to try flashing any ROMs when half asleep!
Thanks again :good:
Hi all, not a regular here I'm a HTC Rezound user. However my friend has just gotten the nexus 4 I have it rooted at least and the bootloader is unlocked. I used the all in one root kit in order to accomplish both of those tasks. It did indeed wipe the device ( I've seen that as in issue in some threads here?). I used the clockworkmod app to install the recovery. In first boot to recovery, it worked fine, however on a subsequent attempt I got a little green robot with a red triangle and exclamation point. I have and, fast boot, and I believe the drivers are present since I installed then with the root kit. I also made sure to swap updated files for 4.2.2 in the root kit. I attempted to flash the recovery using fast boot but the device would not get recognized. Any ideas in where to go from here. I'm new to this device and tried to read as much as possible. I really appreciate all your help in advance.

That's the stock recovery screen. What's happening is that the system has itself restored the stock recovery on boot-up. It's possible to stop it doing this, there's an option in ROM Manager I think. Also the FAQs have a way to do it manually (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34744793).

Heya...
On my 16GB Grouper I had installed the stock rooted 4.3 rom. Yesterday a system OTA update message appeared on my screen - 1.7 MB. I let it download and install over night and just went to bed. Came back in the morning to a boot loop where the device got stuck with the four colorful thingies animation. I can access the bootloader, but the recovery seems to be broken. Can't remember if I had anything other than the stock one... Anyways, now I'm strugling to get this thing going again. I am a zero at ADB but willing to learn whatever is necessary to get me started with a working recovery at least. No tool root box will do anything really for me...
Thanks for your help in advance
Hey!
Had a problem just like yours. If your running windows then install this program its called nexus tool kit. I'm a newbie here but if you Google 'nexus toolkit wug fresh' you can find it
All you need to do is plug your device in and open the program, then select flash OTA with the boot loop option and then follow the on screen instructions
That should put you back to normal with a fresh start meaning all you data will be lost. You can also root from there to.

Yeah. It would be dumb to actually learn what you are doing to your device. You should totally use a toolkit.

Honestly, I'm just showing the user one way, I anticipated him of being a newbie. For the record, it shows you all the process's happening.

Thank you guys. You might not believe it, but I'm not a newb to Android or flashing. It's just that I've always been playing around with Samsung devices and there you'd normaly turn to Odin in case something went wrong. Here it's different.
Anyways, with this comprehensive guide I've been able to reflash a recovery image and my old rom. Unfortunately losing all of my data in the process, but there was no way to save it.

Hi,
I have a Nexus7(2012) I was previously running Paranoid Android and tried to update to 4.4.
I am using CWM recovery and I used the factory reset option in before I flashed.
The 4.4 ROM didn't work (because it was an ota update). When I tried to boot back into Paranoid Android it wouldn't go past the google screen, and after waiting on the screen it would put me back into recovery. I also don't have a backup to flash. I am also really bad with the fastboot and adb stuff. I just want to put 4.4 on my device, how do I do that?
(I can't transfer anything from my computer to nexus 7 because my computer won't recognise it. But it will make the USB connected sound.)
Thanks for any help!
It also happened to me but I was update via ota and its stuck in bootloader but I still manage to go into recovery mode. I also don't like using adb fasboot but I thing that is the only way that you can bring your nexus to 4.4. But that's only my advice. Maybe other great dev can give you another solution.

Hello All,
About 2 days ago i tried to root my google nexus 4, I dont know what i did, but now when i turn it on it shows the google logo then goes to where it shows an android with a red exclamation mark, does anyone know how this can be fixed, any help would be much appreciated!!
Can you be a bit more specific on what you did? Or what guide you followed?
Rooting is quick and easy on a nexus
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Then flash ROM of choice in recovery
Reboot

Ok, i had successfully rooted my phone, i then went to put on a new rom so i could use OTG storage. That got me completely stuck, i tried toget back to my normal phone but didnt know how. I foolishly went into recovery mode, and wiped everything off it. and just now i cant even do anything it just has a red light flashing at the bottom, i hope this has helpt in some way.
Do you have a custom recovery? Use adb sideload to flash the ROM, or if you have a working otg cable this should be fine too

UPDATE: The red light has gone (was just low on power) But the phone is still stuck in recovery mode. i have tried to "apply update from ADB" with my mac but it doesnt work and im not sure if i am doing it propperly.
I am pretty new to this kinda stuff, so i dont know what a custom recovery is, and i honestly have no idea what to do, im not really bothered about the root anymore i would rather just have my phone back to normal.
Please dont take this the wrong way and I mean no disrespect, but maybe we should just get your phone up and running and then maybe a few months from now after you've done a whole lot of reading you can consider rooting again. The n4 isn't the most expensive phone in the world but it would still be a shame to brick it, as much as I believe all androids are best to be rooted the user really needs to understand fully what s/he is doing, 95% of "help my device is bricked" threads come from lack of homework, which is easily 100s of threads a day across xda alone
OK, sorry for the lecture I've just ran into this a lot lately, and I'd be glad to help
I try not to use apple products as a whole so I can't say for sure why its not connecting with adb, is this for sure set up properly? As in has adb or fastboot worked fine in the past? Also is device currently unlocked? By a custom recovery I mean nonstock, not an oem, like twrp or clockwork.
If you want root let's download the latest twrp image for the n4, if you want factory than download latest from here
