Guys i have a problem...
I wantes to delete all data on my N4 and start again with a fresh device, My phone is rooted and i had an custom rom installed, i deleted all data pictures and everything else, after that i also formated the sd card, cache etc etc and thats where it went wrong Now i can go into cwm but nothing more... when i reboot i see the black screen with google on it and after that nothing happens...
How can i solve this problem? I hope that i didnt bricked my phone
should still be able to mount usb storage in cmw, that or push files using adb, if you can get into recovery then you can always get your device back
I just helped a user with the same problem yesterday.
Here's the link with steps how to push a rom to your phone with adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137976
can you get into fastboot? if you can then all you have to do is follow this thread:

No, you can't mount USB in recovery. The Nexus 4 does not use UMS.
Ok thanks for the fast reply, im gonna try to push a rom with adb.
''I know you don't have a rom on your phone. This is how you can push one to your phone.
You must be booted in recovery
Put the rom in the same directory on your PC where you have adb.exe
Open up the command prompt from that directory. (hold shift and right click--then choose open command window here)
Then type the command-- adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
The file with push to your phone and then your can select it and flash it from recovery''.
I see this in another thread, Where can i find adb.exe? Im terrible with computers...
Adb is part of of the platform tools for android. Since you unlocked and flashed a custom rom you should have it on your computer.
If you need it, it is located as an attachment at the bottom of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1
I got the attachment, its called platform tools v16, i dragged and dropped an rom in that platform tools file and after that i dont know what to do...
''Open up the command prompt from that directory. (hold shift and right click--then choose open command window here)
Then type the command-- adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/''
This is what i dont understand.

Extract the files in that .zip into a folder and name it something like "Android."
Move the Rom.zip into that folder as well.
Then do the shift and right click and open the command window pointed to that directory. (as I explained above)
Make sure its connected properly and there isn't a driver issue by typing the command: adb devices. If it returns your serial number you are good to go. (If not, you need to install the correct drivers, which are linked in Section A of the post I linked earlier.)
Then type the command. adb push nameofRom.zip /sdcard/
When i type adb devices i can see my serial number and recovery after it.. when i type ''adb push nameofRom.zip /sdcard/ '' i get a message cannot stat 'nameofRom.zip' No such file or directory
What am i doing wrong?
Edit: hahahaha i see what i do wrong nameofRom.zip
Are you actually typing "nameofrom.zip" ?

You certainly haven't bricked it. The fact you can get to recovery means, you can get to fastboot. Simply open fastboot and reflash stock and be more careful next time
Hi everybody
Today I've just messed up my phone by deleting all TWRP backups as well as ROM zip files on my N4 (haven't found out why i did it, hell!)
Now after wipe my current rom, I've totally in the middle of "NoRom"
I have TWRP, and Nexus 4 Toolkits installed on my PC. I think all drivers are installed correctly as well, since I used them to unlock bootloader and root my N4 before.
But i just cannot figure out how to "ADB sideload" zip file to my device in order to flash a new rom.
So please guild me to do this. Many thanks
Note: I read on TWRP page and they say that I have to enable adb sideload in TWRP on my N4 (of which i've done), then "From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip". From that point I cannot understand. How and where could I open the command line?
(sounds noobie but since downloading that Toolkits, I've got rid of pure ADB things, so now I don't have the sdk)
Thank you.
Lol, getting rid of ADB especially when you have a nexus was a bad idea. You need ADB, so you also need the SDK (although you *might* find only adb.exe and associated files here on XDA, which should be sufficient for this particular process, but I still recommend the SDK as it is quite handy).
Once you set up the SDK on your pc, go to the folder which has adb.exe, and open a command prompt there. That's the command line you need to use for adb sideload. From there, you can simply type adb sideload file_name.zip, which will place the file_name.zip on your sdcard.
Edit: Forgot to mention this. I never used toolkits and advise using the manual method which will teach you a lot and is more comfortable to use once you get the hang of it, believe me.

OK thank you, i'll try it
Back to the past when i got G1, i was familiar with sdk and adb thing. But as time passing by, i'm getting lazier and lazier lol, so i've almost forgotten those useful stuffs, just use some 1-click tools like the toolkits.
Help

I tried sideload on my nexus 4 but it gives me this error...
"failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)"
I have been trying to sideload cm 10.2 since my phone is stuck on the google boot logo...any ideas as to how to solve this problem?
Cheers beforehand!
close "adb.exe" in task manager
Help please. I've done the same thing as the OP. I do not know what to do next.
I am unable to mount the phone. I click on "Mount" from TWRP's main screen and nothing registers on my computer.
Under Advanced I am able to click on ADB Sideload but then the adb commands do not work to sideload a rom. I am able to use the command adb devices and that returns a response. I have also tried the adb push command to move the rom onto the phone with no response.
What should I do next?
Standard adb functions work on the main menu of twrp
Here is the easiest method.
On your pc go to your toolkit directory
Find the folder that has adb.exe in it
Copy your new Rom to this directory and rename it rom.zip (for simplicity)
Hold shift and right click on a blank bit of the folder
In the pop-up menu there should now be an option saying "open command prompt here" or something similar.
Boot your phone into twrp and plug it into your pc
On your pc's new command prompt screen type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Once it has completed you can install the rom as normal on your phone

Do you have adb drivers installed?
What happens when you type
adb devices
In the command prompt
You should get the serial number of your phone, then next to it it should say recovery
If you have nothing listed then you have an issue with the drivers on your computer

Hi,
I moved from slimbean build 8 (4.2.2) to Slimbean 5 (4.3)
After a couple of reboot the phone stucks an google screen, I tried to reflash the rom from twpr but nothing chaged.
If I try to sideload small files (like supersu) it works, with rom.zip files not..
I have "* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *" after some seconds.
If I try to use sideload from twpr home (2.6.0.0) adb doesn't work,
adb devices
List of devices attached
0076a0288a8c04be recovery
Cwm
Is it possible to do the same with Cwm instead of twrp? If so, how? Also, i have both twrp and cwm according to rom manager. How?
Thanks your a life saver!

being a noob at all of this, I am getting nowhere..... all I did so far was install android sdk. and put phone into sideload....
when I did adb push rom.zip /sdcard and it did some things?
then I do adb devices (in the cmd line of windows) and it gave me my serial number.... but what now?
I see nothing on the phone to load/install?
also: I type this: adb push rom.zip /sdcard
it says error closed.

Hey guys,
a mistake happend to me and i installed a wrong GAPPS,
now the ROM alerts "Android Keyboard (AOSP) crashed" every second.
I can't put a newer GAPPS on the phone using USB, because sending a file to the device doesn't run.
I don't know why, the drivers are installed and i can see the root of my phone, but can't copy files bigger than a few byte.
So i tried sideload.
I booted to recovery mode and selected adb sideload, and installed all windows drivers successfully.
But: When i try to copy the file like "adb sideload rom.zip", it stucks at 1%..
Anybody here who can help me? :/
Thanks!

Type in the following into the pc terminal when connected to the device via usb
adb kill-server
adb devices
So I have now no OS installed @ nexus 4... I ve read that with adb it should work. When I now write adb push and then the Rom.zip the command line shows me a lot of Text but doesnt do anything. When i write adb push Rom zip /sdcard/download it starts to move the zip but there isnt a folder at all. And should i activate adb sideload @ nexus? Because When i Start it loads very long but nothing happens.
I have twrp recovery so what should i Do now? Because this is my First only internal sd Card Phone and i cant connect the N4 to the PC Because no OS i only need to Know how to boot any firmware or does something like odin for nexus?

Hey Guys,
I just made a big blunder.. darn! I uninstalled the Package Access Helper (thru the titanium backup app) on my G2 (D802 ver) and now I can't install any apps anymore from the PlayStore.
The phone is rooted though..
My question is... What's the best and easiest way to remedy this problem? should I go to all the hassle of reflashing back to Stock ROM? OR can I possibly get an apk for this "Package Access Helper" thingie? and where in God's world do I find this apk if ever asl well?
I'm in dire need here guys... pls help me out. .::
thank you.
There you go

Thanks, but I dont have have any root explorer app on my phone.
Already installed the adb shell on my laptop..
enabled USB debugging on my phone, checked device manager and saw "Androidnet Sooner Single ADB Interface: under Computer.
then on the command prompt with admin permission, I typed on where the adb libs are located
adb shell
su
adb remount
chmod 777 /system/apps
adb push DefaultContainerService.apk /system/app/
BUT.... I always end up with the errr message "device not found"
What's this error all about??
Thank you again for sharing some of your info... I highly appreciate your insights on this
Here you go x2
flashable
@error - you need adb drivers + usb debugging enabled.
I sent you back a message mate.
Unfortunately the flashable zip might not be of no good to me at all, as I did not install any custom recovery on my phone e.g. twrp, etc.
I guess the only route I can do is to really push the DefaultContainerService.apk to the /system/app but I'm always getting this err -'device not found''it
Should Androidnet Sooner Single Adb interface really be the one that appears under the Device manager? or should it be 'Android Composite ADB Interface'?
I'm having a tough luck on this
I guess the most I can do on this would be to just reflash it back to stock again and hope it'll work. *sigh

thanks man, I downloaded the adb tool from the android sdk website itself.
By the way, I tried as well booting up to stock recovery, and flashing the zip (on the earlier post), but since my phone system is not yet mounted, then the zip file didn't do anything at all.
any one please send me the Package Access helper to my gmail
Please help me I want to restore my package Access helper back please
For battery optimization obsessives, Do not delete or disable it. Apps from play store can not be installed without it. This what I ended up with after disabling the service.
