So long story short, sbl1 is overwritten.
I saw multiple posts about specially prepared sdcard and im wondering how to unbrick it with this phone, i have a back up before it got bricked (mmcblk0 the first 128MB of it).
Any ideas?
Have you tried the nb1 tar file in Odin?

Odin wont detect my device, its in PBL download mode
I tried making a USB Jig but with no luck
Ive also tried qdload.pl with MPRG8086.hex still nothing (failed to execute becuase no reply)
Could I try shorting the emmc chip from being detected to force sd card boot???
Doesnt EFS have to be on the sd card too???
Bump!
Did the SD thing work?? ?

Isn't that where the bootloader is kept? How did you even manage to screw that up?

Zero'ed it, trying to zero out another partition. (dd if=/dev/zero)
I tried to compile a custom arm bin (one that resets the device) upload it with qdload.pl and it wont work because it needs to be signed (this includes eMMCBLD.hex)

I have a 16gb nexus 4. I rooted my phone a few weeks ago and decided to DL flash cm 10.1 to my phone yesterday. But, it got stuck in a boot loop and I restored to the android backup I had.
The problem is, now my storage says only 435 mb free, but I had around 6gb free before. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think it's that. I only have one backup and it says it's only a few megabytes.

So, of I do the fast boot and recover my data, it should clear up the storage space?

Oh I misunderstood you, it is showing that you have 16gb its just that a lot of it is missing.
I would try deleting unneeded nandroids, especially if they are CWM as they don't get saved somewhere you can use a simple file manager to get to I don't think.
Also try clearing cache and davlik cache, if this doesn't work, I think you'll have to back up apps and factory reset through recovery.
Sent from my CM10.1 Nexus 4
But the nandroids are only 7.38 mbs. I don't think they are the cause of the problem. I was researching the problem online and I think it might be the lost.dir folder, but I can't find it.

there's something wrong then. a nandroid will NEVER be 7.38mb
Wait, I think you're right. The nandroid back up I made on my computer says 5gb. But, which system folder is it in on my phone?

Thank you so much.
I found it, deleted it, and got my space back.
But that leads me to another question. If I don't have a backup on my phone, how will I restore? Because yesterday, I was in a boot loop, and the ADB connection wouldn't work. The only reason I could restore was because I had the nandroid back up on my phone already.

If you were in a bootloop, get into recovery and choose sideload. Then you can push a rom file and flash it. Or you could just not remove the recovery. TWRP nandroid take less space.
I see. I just used CWM because I read that they were better. I'm still new at all of this. Thank you. You've been very helpful.

If you erased everything you can either flash the factory image, my first choice, or sideload a rom in recovery

I've gotten the notification for the 4.4.4 OTA twice and when I tap to install, it reboots into TWRP and nothing else happens.
I've included a screenshot of the error it gives me. 4.4.3 installed flawlessly without a hiccup. I don't understand what is happening now.
BTW, phone is on stock, rooted and as you can see, I've got TWRP.
I think the /system verify check is failing due to modified contents. Flash stock 4.4.3 /system partition through fastboot and try to apply the ota again.

You're cloudprint2 apk is either a non-system app (missing?) or has been modified somehow
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Just did a search for the apk/app and I don't seem to have it on my system. My guess is I need to install the Cloud Print app from Play?
Yup, you can try that. If you still get errors, instead of hunting down every problem present, it would be a lot easier to return system to stock.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Well, I've installed the Google Cloud Print app. Now I have to wait a few days to get the OTA update notification again and see if it goes through.
What is a bit puzzling is the fact that I had no issues updating to 4.4.3
You could just download the 4.4.4 ota zip from here and flash it through TWRP. Much faster and the same thing.

OK, I think I might have to go this route because after stubbornly getting the apk to change permissions and to move the file to the system>app folder, I ran the zip file and got yet another error... I really do not understand.
I have done nothing to my phone aside from adding an app or two since the 4.4.3 OTA....
Yup, much easier to flash the system image than to hunt down every error present.
