hi all,
so after a series of stupid decisions, i have no rom on my nexus 4
i can boot into bootloader and recovery (twrp) but for some reason cannot mount it to my computer so i cannot transfer a new rom
i tried using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 to flash a stock rom, but the n4 would get stuck at the boot animation, so i tried to wipe cache in the recovery. this only made it get stuck at the google logo
does anyone know of a method to somehow transfer a new rom to my phone?
any help would be greatly appreciated
You can use a toolkit found in the development area of the forums. They should be able to flash stock rom on bootloader via fast boot.

thank you, it worked
If you had never used a toolkit in the first place there would have been no need to create this thread. You would have known how to fix it. Fastboot is your friend.

Did you get root? If so, did everything go ok with the port forwarding in Servers Ultimate?

Okay, but this is general section, not Q/A and should be there but today is Friday and I am tremendously happy lol
1. Download 4.4 Radio and 4.4 ROM. (say thanks to Imperticus)
2. Put both zips in your sdcard
3. Go to recovery and do: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system (optional, advisable for upgrading to 4.4)
4. Flash Radio.zip
5. Flash ROM
U don't need any gapps since this is a factory image...
If you want a rooted/deodexed/busybox ROM download this one in stead of the other (say thanks to fireb33)
If u have any problem just let me know.

Flash Stock+Unroot (choose 4.4 option), after that root and put recovery. check if radio and bootloader ok.
P.S.
I think it's good for 4.4. to wipe device and do clean one.

you do realize that most the people here on xda do not use english as their first language? unfortunately not everyone here speaks or writes in english as well as you. hopefully you can understand that, and have a bit more patience and understanding, thank you.

ive gone and broken everything
ive never had issues updating various cyanogen versions once originally installed clockwork recovery. always been as simple as downloading and transferring the zip to SD and booting to recovery and installing from SD when i didnt do the auto updates which still took me to recovery at reboot. but i got impatient for the 4.4 version which reading from cyanongen is in no hurry to release because just released milestone version of 4.3. I downloaded the 4.4 zip right from google and tried installing it from SD like i always did after doing all the various wipes. The google factory image wasnt even recognized by clockwork. so doing some googling got here with steps to radio and os images got them transferred over and booted to recovery and they were at least selectable. got radio to go through. the actual os got error 7 during install, which doing even more googling said should edit a file in the zip contents. Too bad now cant get past the google logo and goes right back to recovery menus for me to transfer editted zip file for the error 7 problem. So im at least partially bootable but no clue how the heck to get myself out of this mess ive gotten myself into due to my impatience and wanting latest and greatest for my nexus 4. would love any help in how to undo problem i caused because the whole adb thing is foreign to me

There's a difference between someone struggling with English and someone deliberately using text speak to sound all "1337."

Hi,

Thanks!
That should help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527142
Or any other thread that has a "how-to" flash ROMs as I think the only option for you is to reflash stock firmware either KitKat or any other that you like. Its pretty simple but if you can't follow the guides you can go the way that is not advisable if you want to learn - find some toolkits to reflash firmware. Good luck

Hi,
I am on a AXON 7G. Rooted, BL unlocked. Now there is an update and i want to learn more to modify the updater-script to flash it with TWRP.
Is this possible and how to do this without messing up my phone :cyclops:?
I am using the ASC (android script creator), modified some lines etc....but i am not able to let it work.
Are there some general ruls/guides i have to follow to make it work and not brick my phone ? Because so fare i didn't find anything i could straightfollow.
Any help is much appreciated !
Thnx !
U can ask those things in XDA Assist, i believe there will be more pro to help u
