[Q] Bootloop after flashing, TWRP not available..

Hello guys,
Frank is writing. Sorry for disturbing, but i´m in big trouble right now. I made a Factory reset, wipe Dalvik etc. and flashed the PA Aosp Mako 4.0 + latest Gapps.. Nothing special so far, but now my Nexus is still in a bootloop. If i go to the recovery mode, i have no access to TWRP just have the possibility to choose between Start, Start bootloader, Power off, or Recovery Mode. But if i go to the recovery mode the bugdroid is there and nothing happens further. After connecting the device to my mac there is a message on the screen that it´s in download mode?! i didn´t seen this before.. So if you have any solution, it would be great. a factory reset to if possible or even necessary.
Right now I am at my wits end. May someone has an advice for me what to do? i can´t imagine christmas without my beloved smartphone.. ;(
Thanks for your attention!
cheers
Frank
You need fastboot working on your computer, not sure of the exact steps for a mac, but if you download the Android SDK it will be in there. Then you can directly flash a factory image for your phone from the fastboot screen. (The one you describe with start, start bootloader, etc)
You can download the factory images here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
Android sdk for mac http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.3-macosx.zip
hey.. thank you for your reply. i downloaded the required files but how to get the access with terminal when it´s still not possible to start the phone? If i type in ./adb devices in terminal just following popped up but nothimg else:
-bash: /Users/frankherrmann/Desktop/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030: is a directory
do u know what to do now?
At the dead android screen, hold the power button and press vol+. Does it get you to stock recovery?
unfortunately nothing happens the screen turns off, that´s all... ;(
You should try flashing a stock 4.4.2 occam image using fastboot. This would return you to stock and you can then root and install TWRP or CWM.
endxpen tyrants
ok, thanks...meanwhile i did a factory reset with in the recovery mode, but after reboot the same thing happens, still bootloop.. now i just downloaded the adt bundle with sdk inside and the latest factory image. but anyway, it seems that i can´t get the access to the phone. if i go in the adt folder and use the command adb services in the terminal my device will not be recognized.

so... i suggest that it´s been just a problem that i typed not the correct command, isn´it?

Yes you got 2 options,run the flash-all script or flash the files manually for example typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or fastboot flash radio radio.img, you didn't specified the partition to flash

The right command is ./fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.98.img, so it is ./fastboot flash <generic name of partition> <exact name of the file> hope this will work, but my suggestion is to run the flash-all script,it will do it authomatically for you, if you want do it manually,here at step D there are all the commands
Thanks a lot, you made may day! the phone is rebooting....
merry christmas!

[Q] Unknown partition error when using fastboot flash recovery.img

First of all, I would like to apologize if this question has been answered in another thread. I have searched the xda forums and others with no success.
My situation is the following:
Running on Windows 8.1
1. Rooted Nexus 4 on 4.4 (if I remember correctly)
2. OTA update to 4.4.2 (loosing root, but device remains unlocked) (I think I also tried flashing the factory image manually, but failed, I don't remember exactly)
I rooted my phone when Kitkat was fresh and found there were no custom roms on 4.4 yet so I went back to stock because it was the easiest way to get the update. Right now I can not flash a custom recovery.
fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Already Unlocked)
finished. total time: 0.002s
===================================================
fastboot flash recovery.img
unknown partition 'recovery.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'
This is the same for both TWRP and CWM. I am very sure I did NOT misspell the name.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thank you for taking the time to read this post!
You have to use this
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
wrong syntax, must be: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wow.... I am ashamed with myself. I cannot believing I missed that.
Thank you for the quick reply guys.
I was just doing the same here thanks!

In the xda forum, check carefully whether you are asking a question in the appropriate Q&A section for your device, because you are certainly not writing about Nexus 4.

Hopefully you may have already asked or solved this question. I am assuming you are issuing command from platform-tools folder. If you have a Windows 10 OS system then, I too could not found USB drivers for my system with windows 10. If 'fastboot devices' command returning some device id then maybe I have guessed wrong reason.
I entered "fastboot flash XXX.img" Too. hahaha
After i see this article, I entered "fastboot flash recovery flash XXX.img"
Thank you anyway.

Hi guys, I found the same error when I've tried to install TWRP on mi Xiaomi Mi A3 by FASTBOOT on Linux Terminal.
After a lot of searching, I solved my problem using the syntax below:
"fastboot flash boot XXX.img"
"boot" is the partition about FASTBOOT are asking for.
Hope to be usefull.
