Which version of twrp are you using? Is it saying flash unsuccessful? The guy above me is right you need to go back to stock using download mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150make sure you've got the latest twrp before flashing again. Let me know how you go

Hi, direct link:

link to my folder LG GT540 with ROMS, apps, clockwork and fixes

Greetings!
I think the more easy way is to use ROM Manager, this APK is also developed by auther of Clockworkmod, you can run the app and directly enter to recovery screen without flash the recovery image to you phone!!

[Q] Nexus 4 Bricked?

Hi all,
I'm freaking out here. I was trying to install a kernel on my N4 using the Toolkit and somehow it said it was done successfully but then my phone got stuck on the Google screen and was never able to start up again.
I do have a Nandroid back up but unfortunately it's on my computer and not on my phone.
I tried using the toolkit AND adb to push the files to my phone but I get the same message: "failed to copy to sdcard: No such file or directory".
I'm completely stuck now and am panicking. Somebody please help!
And this is why we don't use toolkits.
Read up on how to use fastboot and how to boot into fastboot.
Then read up on where to find stock images and how to flash them in fastboot. Then do it.

Why would you use a toolkit to flash a kernel ...just download zip go to recovery cwm or twrp and flash...
Can you get into fast boot ??

Might also be helpful if you specified which kernel you flashed. As long as you didn't flash a kernel for a different device (e.g. nexus 7) you can definitely recover. To reiterate what others have mentioned, fastboot is your friend. There are numerous tutorials on his to install and use it. Check the stickies.

Yeah I can get into fast boot and even into CWM. I tried factory resetting in CWM but it still gets stuck on the Google screen.
The reason I used the toolkit and not CWM to flash the kernel is because CWM kept failing to flash the kernel, giving me some error and "(bad)" message. It is the kernel to improve Nexus 4 sensitivity directly from another thread.
Can someone please provide me with specific links or detailed instructions?

My main problem is I need to get my Nandroid backup onto my phone. For some reason, because it's stuck on the Google screen, it's not able to write to the sdcard. Can someone please help me get my files from my computer to my phone?
Flash stock first.

Thanks for your help. I've successfully follows the instructions and got back to Android 4.2.2.
I still want to restore my previous Nandroid though. Although I have placed it in the Clockworkmod backup folder, it's not being seen by CWM recovery. I tried backing up a new nandroid just to test and CWM sees the one it backs up.
Anyone know how I can get CWM to recognize the Nandroid which was done through the toolkit?
Thanks!

If the kernel wasn't installing in the first place you probably shouldn't of flashed it via toolkit

There isn't really anything wrong with a toolkit for certain things, I just think it's a bit strange he tried to use it for something as trivial as this.

Ok well to solve the problem I did download the stock images and flash them according to Effrants guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=34552123
Then the reason that CWM wasn't recognizing my Nandroids was because I had them in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups, but they should be in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.
I recovered everything and I'm back! Thanks for your help everyone.

weird soft brick... help please

I flashed the clockworkmod touch zip from my recovery.
It didn't give me the touch recovery, I thought "whatever" and booted back into my rom.
It wouldn't boot.
I went back into recovery and flashed PA rom and gapps.
They weren't booting, I decided to give them a few minutes.
It finally booted.
It no longer connects to wifi or tmobile.
I can't transfer files over usb.
Wugfresh's toolkit couldnt return it to stock.
I thought the recovery might have gotten messed up when I tried to flash CWM touch, so I flashed TWRP from Wugfresh's toolkit.
I used adb sideload to flash a stock rooted rom.
It still took forever to boot, and is still not connecting to wifi/network.
TL;DR I can boot into fastboot and recovery and even the rom but I have no network connection... help guys :'(
It says BASEBAND VERSION - N/A... could that be the problem? If so, how do I fix it?
This is why we don't use toolkits. Return to stock using ADB and do it again...

When I try to fastboot flash the stock image it says "does not contain recovery.sig" "does not contain boot.sig" and only updates the bootloader.
Did you dl the image right from Google?

[Q] Updating Recovery

Hi guys.
I want to update my recovery and currently have the CWM Touch recovery installed. I wanted to flash the Official TWRP recovery and was wondering if I have to revert back to the stock recovery and then install TWRP or do I just download goomanager on my phone and install TWRP from there ON TOP of the CWM I have?
Thanks
Yeah do the goomanger thing
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can download the latest TWRP img file and use fastboot to flash.

You could always use flashify. Use it to download the TWRP .zip. Extract the .img file into the phone, then use flashify to flash that .img file you extracted. Reboot into recovery to see if it stuck.
