Wugfresh's toolkit has assisted many N4 owners with returning their phones to stock, gaining root, custom recoveries and unlocking. It will also help you to get the proper drivers.
Get it back to factory stock. Once there, root and install a custom recovery.
The toolkit will download whatever drivers it needs, updated SU, whatever version of stock you want and the custom recovery you want to use.

Thank you for suggestion. I tried to use it before . the custom recovery works but still not help baseband and imei
Has to do with originating country the phone was released in & the country you're trying to use the phone in.
Return it if you can...If you can't return it I'd say your probably toast unfortunately.
Google it...there are a lot of people that have never found a solution to it.

thank you very much for this suggestion . Yes I can't return to original country. The device from Hongkong but i stay in Thailand . What a problem why i can't used it .
why my old phone galaxy s (sc-02b) from japan. It's lock carrier network but i just type mmc/mnc . That stock rom of sc-02b it always have baseband version all time but in custom rom as cm10.1 or another maybe not have just flash kernel and modem in it.
Remark it , the mobile in engineer mode (mtk) it have 4 option are
phone inforation
battery information
Usage statics
wi-fi information
It's a normally? it's not have telephony?
I think it my mobile lost imei.and i want to flash imei but not have option . And I doubt about hardware failed maybe losse wire network or
the simcard's tray not connect with board or dirty.i will find to buy screwdriver and try it.
Thank you very much mrhiab

I have rooted my Nexus 4 with Tool Kit and flashed it with stock 4.3 image. Few days later came new small security patch for 4.3. Now every few days I get the notification on my phone but when I try to let it install, it does not get installed.
Here is phone info:
Android version: 4.3
Build number: JWR66V
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-gf43c3d9
I will appreciate your help. Is this update available as a zip file on the forum? if it is, then I can side load it on my rooted phone.
I will appreciate any help.
I have this too
If it helps, I have to problem too.
I have rooted my phone and installed ClockworkMod Recover v6.0.2.3 but have not installed any custom ROM or other changes (that I know of).
I periodically get a messge an update has been downloaded, but when I attempt to install it, ClockworkMod informs me:
Code:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Since I don't know what it is, I abort the install, but I can't tell what is happening. I would also appreciate any help.

Bret

Yes, I have also installed ClockworkMod Recover v6.0.2.3 and running stock ROM as well. . If this update is available as a zip file then we can install it. It should not be just two of us having this issue. Everyone who rooted phone should have same issue.

Thanks for pointing towards the right direction. I tried to side load the zip but it failed. I will post the question in the other thread.
I've been trying to flash TheAxman 's [ROMS][ViSiON-X STOCK SHOP][i9505/i337][ViS-STOCK][STABLE BASES][03-18] but i keep getting a status 7, installation aborted error which claims that the the expected number of arguments is 5, got 4.
the steps i did to get this error message were:
wipe data/ factory reset --> wipe cache --> format system --> wipe dalvik --> install VisionX's rom
My device is the i337m, its unlocked im with telus
i attached a screenshot of the about phone info for reference.
The device is rooted using cf-auto, and has cwm 6.0.4.7 installed, running on 4.2.2 stock ROM
Now from what i understood in the installation instructions, I should be flashing my carrier's kernel after installing the new ROM, but i cant even get past the rom installation.. I read around the forums that this might be due to a broken updater script, I 'm also iffy as to where/ how I could get a hold of my carriers kernel file to use after (hopefully) i get Vision-X installed on the device..
according to ktoonsez, I should use [KERNEL][TMO][AOSP/TW/GE - 4.4/4.3/4.2][03/12/2014] KT-SGS4 - MJ5 - KTweaker
lastly, i dont know if this is relevant, but in the CWM log i have a message that shows up saying the following
"can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/msm_sdcc . 2/mmc_host/mmc2"
thank you in advance for your time and assistance
Anyone?

Check if your download is good first. However, I don't believe you can use that kernel as it says I337 and not I337m.

thank you for your input, I will redownload the file to cross that out. as for the kernel, how/where might I be able to find it? Can I simply use the stock kernel on 4.2.2 from telus ?

Stock kernel will work as long as you're only using other 4.2.2 Touchwiz ROMs. Otherwise, you can check the development section for any kernel thread that lists I337m

Kernel is right. TMO for the I337M.
I've had status 7 errors before using philz and they were solved using 1 of 2 methods. First, I would check the rom for asserts (txt at the beginning of the updater-script that checks ur device version code against those intended for the roms use). If u find an assert in the script, just delete it and try the install again.
Second thing u could try that worked for me was (idk if standard cwm has this option but philz does) checking the 'allow old update binary' box in the settings. If it's not there, try philz or twrp.
Lastly, like deadly said, don't flash the kernel til u get the ROM to boot. That way troubleshooting is easier
thank you both for your valuable input. I will give it another shot

You flashed the ROM and Gapps and made sure to wipe data right? Also, which one are you flashing (which model)?

Try using the jfltetmo build, from what I've read t-mobile ROMs and kernels work on the I337m. If that doesn't work the international build is the next best bet.
hello,
just a quick update on our latest discussion, it seems that the tmo build is indeed the right one to flash, ive finally rid myself of TW, and running on slimkat. many thanks for your valuable input.

Ok so as per my understanding , you have unlocked bootloader .
You also have custom recovery twrp 2.8.7 installed . Right ?
Since you wipe system , your phone is without any os right now .
So now what you do is download any stock modified rom for your device .
Download latest twrp by xanwar . Flash the twrp zip (by xanwar)from twrp 2.8.7 (already installed ).
Voila ! Now you can flash any custom rom or stock based modified roms .
I don't know this is what you asking

Ok . I understand now .
1)donwlaod latest twrp by xanwar . And flash it. So now you have latest recovery installed on your device .:fingers-crossed:
2)download gecko premium rom from Android development section here on xda . Place it on SD card .
3)reboot to recovery , wipe everything except SD card . (You will lose everything from your phone .)
4)if step 3 gives error then format data not wipe .
5)repeat step 3
6)reboot to recovery now .
Flash the rom that you downaoded (gecko premium )
7)reboot system .
8) do this first then report back .

I don't understand the logic behind not enabling usb debugging !
No need for all that .
If using windows then make sure the all driver shows up when you enter into fastboot mode .
Check from control panel of your PC . If not then reinstall the drivers . It must show asus composite ...........Blah Blah blah ...Android bridge interface .(well i use Linux so dont recall properly ).
Once the desired drivers are present you are good to go ahead .And flash proper twrp .And do the rest .
Bottom line :check drivers
Flash the latest twrp (24 July build) link below

Hello everyone!
A few days ago I bought myself a P10 plus on a vacation to China. Since I live in Sweden I decided to rebrand it to the European firmware (since it had the asian firmware installed) through FunkyHuawei when I got home. I got my bootloader code from Huawei support and succesfully unlocked it as well as installed TWRP. The first problem I encountered was that I was unable to create any backups of my phone as well as being unable to install or flash anything.
I then restarted my phone into recovery mode and suddenly it didn't boot into TWRP anymore, only EMUI stock recovery. I tried flashing TWRP several times but the phone still wouldn't boot into it, so I tried factory resetting the phone and the flashing TWRP once again. This is where the real problems started.
The firmware is gone, no OS is installed, I cannot do anything through TWRP (i only get error messages such as "E:Unable to find partition size for /boot" as well as Failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)")
Even worse is that the bootloader wont load as far as i can tell so I can't do anything through adb nor fastboot either. I'm completely stuck in TWRP. I can't even wipe nor change file system.
Is my phone damaged beyond repair or is there anyone on here that might have a solution?
Thanks in advance, any suggestions welcome!
EDIT: Okay this is really weird...
Suddenly my phone booted into the OS, even though TWRP said there were no OS installed. What is the next step from here to ensure this won't happen again?

You should see if you have the UFS memory or eMMC.
If you have eMMC version the current available TWRP is not working.
I made a testing version for TWRP that works on eMMC and was able to rebrand from China to International.
PM me if you need anything..
So i've gotten my phone working again (with the chinese ROM) but since TWRP won't work there's no way for me to rebrand it. My phone has eMMC 5.0 if that's any help.

So I figured I would just get into it and say that I'm new to this all, I have been doing it for some time now and I thought I had it figured out. But now I got myself stuck into a problem I don't know how to fix, I have the Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935W8, I was trying to unlock it threw 123unlock for SRS Samsung Unlock. I paid for it threw Sammobile. What I did was on one of the options was, they let me use ADB Toolbox and there was an option to Write a backup of my EFS?. At first I didn't even know what that fully meant. so what it actually did was try to put an EFS on the phone. So because I did it wrong my phone wont even boot up anymore it will go to the Samsung pop up screen and it can only be in Download mode or in Recovery either Stock or TWRP even tried Smart Switch but it keeps saying my phone isn't supported, I tried it all from flashing stock rom to custom. All the time I keep getting back the same error which is
"No Support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
E:Failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument)
E:Failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument)
E:Failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument)
dm-verity error..."
that exact way is how it is on my phone I'm lost and actually don't know what to do now someone help please.
Well that error is similar to what I get. Is it dual sim? Whats the device status in about phone -> software information?

I Actually Figured it out how, I flashed it threw twrp and went under terminal and changed the permissions, Because threw stock recovery I looked threw the recovery log and i figured out that the reason was that the error was just because of permissions, so i decided to find the path where the permission was for the EFS file and i change the permission with "chmod u=rxw" after i changed the permission it was able to boot, but the only thing was that the EFS is completly gone so now what im trying to do is go back to normal stock but flash no-verity with twrp then hoping that i would be able to restore it with smart switch update after it realises that its a samsung.

Oh alright thanks for info! Good luck to you. I know how it feels when you are without EFS lol, once I fixed it by flashing stock ROM from Odin.
