Hi
so I flashed my grouper with a 5.0 rom and everything works smoothly BUT music playback. Apparently it's an issue that plagues all 5.0 rom. Naturally I tried downloaded a 4.4 rom and flash it but doens't work. Is there anyway to downgrade?
Thanks
The easiest way to go back is to flash a factory image. Although this will wipe the internal memory.
Here is the link to the Nexus factory image site: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
BEWARE: Flashing a wrong factory image (ex: a 2013 image on a 2012 device or vica versa) would certainly brick it.
Do I flash it thru recovery or fastboot?

Yes I am, I was also rooted. But this nandroid back up you speak of is useless now.
Have you not tried the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugfresh? There is no need to download any ROM images as it does it all for you its very easy to use just plug in and go.

I think you have to flash stock recovery, boot into it then clear cache and do a factory reset.
Guys make your own thread for help, stop hijacking mine. I am still looking for an answer.

Hi,
I have a nexus 4 running PA 3.99 with it's stock kernel
And I want to delete ALL of it's data, I unlocked my device with WugFresh toolkit and it deleted everything, this is exactly what I want to do.
So I want to know if I can do it again but stay with Root, Stock rom and an unlocked Bootloader.
I want to use WugFresh's toolkit if it's plausible.
Thank you guys in advance!
Reflash the stock rom and root again!
I think there's even an option for that in the tool
But I would advise you not to use a toolkit. Of course it's easy to use etc but you won't learn anything and for example, you don't know how to use fastboot to flash the stock rom. But your choice

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. If you create a nandroid while you are stock unrooted, then you decide to root, flash custom roms, etc, when you restore that nandroid it while return the phone to the state it was in at the time of the backup. So when you restore it root, custom ROM, etc will be removed and you will be left with stock unrooted. Is that what you were asking?

Well I'm not really sure what the toolkit will do, but if it does flash all of the factory images (including user data) your backup will get wiped. It's safer to copy it onto a pc before doing anything, then after you are done you can copy it bak onto the phone.

Been there done that. As the post just above me says download the Nexus Root Toolkit. Follow the directions. Only tricky part can be installing the drivers. Also make sure you are installing JSS15R before you put KitKat on.
If you have a mac you'll have to download the Android SDK download some tools and make a folder with ADB and fastboot in it to flash back to stock. Then you can install TWRP, root and install kitkat.

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.

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

After you've downloaded the recovery IMG file, I assume you grabbed the correct one for your model, open Flashify app, select recovery image on the flash tab, browse to where you saved it and confirm. Job done.
The app should then ask you to reboot and it will boot into twrp.

I did grab the right one but it didnt boot into twrp. It shut off after showing the LG logo for a brief second.
Hmmm not sure to be honest.
It worked perfect for me.
Maybe try deleting the downloaded IMG file and flashify app and reinstalling and try again.

No I don't have a guide. I'll just give you the files you need because I don't feel like typing much. Lol. Flash this with Flashify. Its 2.6.3.3 specifically patched for 12B https://www.dropbox.com/s/meddqewk6muv8p5/twrp.img Then reboot to recovery and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/s/rnj9i1lsg8oc1js/Stock-TWRP2.7-VS980.zip I made that one patched for all firmwares since the newest one won't flash on 12B it seems.

Its 2.6.3.3 specifically patched for 12B https://www.dropbox.com/s/meddqewk6muv8p5/twrp.img Then reboot to recovery and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/s/rnj9i1lsg8oc1js/Stock-TWRP2.7-VS980.zip I made that one patched for all firmwares since the newest one won't flash on 12B it seems. This should work.

I just helped someone having a similar problem a little bit ago get to 2.7 in the main TWRP thread. If you want you can go read through those posts to see exactly what needed to be done. I just gave you the easy route

Easy is what I want. As long as it works and doesn't brick my g2.

It won't brick you as long as both files are in the 8.something MB size range.

Worked like a charm. thank you so much. Now I just need to find a rom to flash. Does CM11 knock to unlock and lock work? Or does that feature even work with AOSP Roms? Also I see G Flex roms. Do those work with knock on and off?

I recommend Mahdi. It has everything. And is way more stable than CM11. Knock on and off on the lockscreen, and every option you can think of.

I take it Mahdi is for the Verizon G2?
This is for anyone that accidentally BRICKS their device.
Partition Backups
Make sure you download the right one.
(BOAF)
SM-N910V_FIRST_100MB_BOAF_DEVELOPER.zip
(BPA1)
SM-N910V_FIRST_100MB_BPA1_DEVELOPER.zip
Instructions
1. Download the appropriate zip.
2. Extract it so you will have a bin file.
3. Get a SD card reader and your micro sd and connect it to your computer.
4. Use windisk32imager to image the .BIN file to your microSD.
5. Insert the microSD on your phone.
6. Put your battery in and hold DOWN + HOME + press PWR. This should get you into download mode.
Samsung SM-N910V BPA1 (no MBN)
7. Download the ODIN file.
8. Flash it to your phone.
9 & 10. NEVER DO WHATEVER YOU DID TO BRICK IT AGAIN.
This should get you back up and going and still converted to DEVELOPER mode. You will also be safely upgraded to BPA1. If you want root again.... just put TWRP back on you phone, flash supersu.zip and Multisystem kernel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you who really muffed things up, you will need to use these files and go all the way back to stock retail.

Thanks to @PaulPizz , @hsbadr , and anyone else I owe credit to.

Awesome! Glad this is out for the N4. Used the same method when I bricked my S3 back in the day.
I tried flashing the N910VVZW2BPA1 Stock Restore N910VVZW2BPA1 via Odin and the flash is failing. Any idea? I followed the root procedure and something went wrong so I'm trying to get it back to factory to start all over again.
Says SW REV Check Fail : [tz]Fused 2 > Binary 1
usually that's an error related to using the wrong package

I don't remember, I was on maximum over drive port in our forums and I was wanting to try Dr ketan's rom and it didn't take. So I tried to install my back up and it won't go past the Samsung logo. Tried 4 times and waited 45 each time.

I might have a Jasmine back up. Not 100 percent sure

You might want to wipe Data, System and cache and try restoring that backup first.
