If you flash the complete factory image it will wipe your device, all data will be gone

Did you create a Nandroid backup with either ClockworkMod Recovery or TWRP? This would be the easiest and fastest way to do it. If not, efrant wrote an awesome guide for returning the Nexus 4 back to stock

You don't flash factory images with recovery, you use fastboot.

It's all in the link that Acuity posted, just read it step by step and you'll end up back to stock.

rom update

I am using Goldeneye rom dated on september 18. I can see there is an update for this rom.
In this case, do I need to wipe data/cache again to install the latest rom version?
Thank you.
The Goldeneye OP tells you exactly how to accomplish what you want to do.

It should be stated in the OP, if you have to do a full wipe. A full wipe is always recommended, you can always dirty flash, and if you have issue, wipe fully and the re flash the rom

Thank you! ill go look into OP
Edit: It doesnt say about current user using Goldeneye Rom. All it says is "Full wipe only! no dirty flash".
Does it mean current Goldeneye users need to full wipe again?

Nexus 7 lagging after update 4.4.2

Hi guys sorry if the thread already post before. My nexus has 4.4.2 rooted and already install twrp. I play game a lot on my nexus 7. But after upgrading to newest ota feel so lag when i try to play shadow gun dead zone. Is there any way how to fix it. I thought it was my wifi problem but when i switch to my old motorola phone it works like a charm.
Thanks in advance

Go into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache.
If that doesn't work, a backup of your apps to your pc hard drive and then a factory reset usually helps, but do the dalvik wipe first so you don't have to reinstall your apps and see if that works first.

But did the flash do a wipe of everything? If so, that's probably why. I'm on stock 4.4.2 and I don't have lag.

I wipe dalvik cache, and data. I m afraid to wipe system. I m not familiar with twrp. So only wipe does thing.
My nexus had a soft brick before when i update to ota and thats give me nightmare. So what would you suggest, do i have to wipe again dalvik, data system? Sorry for noob question but the lag just still there after on day flash from the rom.
Thanks

Restored stock yesterday, suddenly speaker not working.

Earphones work fine, but nothing will make a sound when there are no earphones plugged in. Not even vibrations (apart from the USB connect/disconnect ones). Calling, video's, music, YouTube, nothing.
I have a D802 which is now just stock I guess, I screwed up something and had to play around in the Download Mode to get back to stock losing Root and such.
Anyone have any idea? I have no problem flashing another ROM but if that doesn't fix the problem I'd rather not waste time and risk what happened yesterday again :/.
Really appreciate any help or advice you guys are capable of giving, I'm just worried that it's related to the stock firmware I restored to last night, could that be possible?
Do a factory reset

I will, I'm planning on flashing CloudyFlex in a few minutes, you mean the wipe in recovery, right?
Nope, settings>general >backup and reset >factory reset. This will wipe everything from the phone, so make necessary backups

I did exactly what you said and got no results.
I then went into recovery, wiped, installed a custom ROM, still the same.. no sound.
What do I do :S
If speakers are not working on stock rom, then I guess u should visit customer care

So do you want to flash a 4.4.2 custom rom? If so just flash it in your custom recovery. Wipe system, data and cache first.

Then you're going to have to use Odin and flash the stock firmware in it. Go to sammobile.com for the stock firmware.

That's it. I thought there was problems reverting after upgrade.

I think you can on the i337m. Not totally sure. But the worst case is Odin will fail.
