Doing a factory reset leaves my phone rooted and bootloader unlocked correct?
If i where to factory reset my nexus 4 which has CM 11 installed, would i be back on stock rom? Can I then flash the factory image for lollipop?

If you have CM11 installed you'll still have it once reset as it's the ROM that's in permanent memory

How do I remove CM11 ? I've been having problems with calls not going through and I think it has something to do with it.
If you flash another rom it will cover anyway the CM11.
So you can flash the stock or any other rom you want.

Good day, google just sent my N4 replacement device... It is now rooted and running stock 4.2.2... the 4.3 update advice came in this morning... I have some questions regarding this:
1) Is it safe to update it this way? If I do so, will it loose the root?
2) Yesterday I tried to install CM 10.2 on it, but it went to a bootloop, so I restored a backup made with CWM, now it is ok but... If I want to install CM 10.2, what should I do? Can I install CM 10.1 and then install CM 10.2 over it? or what should I do to install CM 10.2?
Let me know please
Thanks!
1 : If i'm not mistaken yes, it's safe but you will loose root.
2 : I think you didn't wipe your phone. If you wanna install 10.2, boot into recovery, factory reset and then flash your CM 10.2 + gapps. Yes you can install 10.1 then jump to 10.2, but it's always good to come from a full wipe since you're going from 4.2 to 4.3.

You're absolutely right, I did the not make the factory reset to the phone because I assumed that it did not need it, because it was new and It did not have any application installed yet, I'll try and I'll let you know.
THANKS!!!

It's not just about the apps. Just do a factory reset and flash it. It should work
Good luck!
Hey,
Today in between flashing a new ROM i went back to 4.2.2 cm10.1.2, just to check some things out before flashing a 4.3 ROM that i was intending to do in the first place.
However after having reverted to 4.2.2 when i went and install the 4.3 ROM i noticed i had no signal, since then i've tried flashing the radio and boot from 4.3 Factory Image via fastboot, tried installing a different 4.3 ROM, all with no success.
What can I do?
Btw i still get signal in 4.2.2
Thanks.

Check APN settings?
How do I do that?
Also the phone app just crashes totally when I try to do anything with it, even entering airplane mode triggers that.

You should do a clean wipe before you flash 4.3 from an older version, do a factory reset and wipe the system partition, then flash 4.3 rom.
via xda app
It might have to do with TWRP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45323439
Try flashing TWRP 2.6.0.0 then proceed from there to flash your rom.
I guess i forgot to mention, i did a clean install, i factory reset before reverting.
And i have TWRP installed, I've tried several ROMs and in all of 4.3 ROMs i dont have signal and the Phone app FCs when i try to use it.
On that note, does TWRP Factory Reset wipes System Partition?
Factory reset does wipe system partition except /data/media.
Flash TWRP 2.6.0.0 (this version)
Factory reset
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
Flash Modem
Flash Kernel
Flash Supersu
Wipe caches
Reboot
Btw, here is some insight on what to wipe in TWRP:

Oh I just saw your previous post, didn't understand it at first but now that I think about it I do actually have 2.6.1.0.
Ill try what you said and report back.
Thanks.

It worked, thanks alot!
On flashing a Custom Rom, my phone gets stucked with continous FC ("Unfortunately Phone Crashed","Press OK") just after the phone boots.
I had faced the same problem earlier so someone on XDA suggested to use twrp recovery. Then i flashed the purity rom and it worked fine, but then as you may know now, as PA is out, so flashed it and again i'm getting continuous fc error....
currently i'm using purity rom, stock kernel and twrp recovery (2.6.3.3)
I would flash back to a stock 4.2.2 and start over. I find that this is the only way I can install certain roms.

Strange. Are you updating the bootloader and radio before flashing a 4.4 rom?
Are you doing a factory reset???? And flashing a proper gapps after ROM? You should always do this when going from one ROM to another. Sometimes a manual format of /system is necessary also.
no i am not updating my bootloader and radio before flashing (rather didn't know if i had to update them,fyi i bought my nexus 4 this september)....and yes i'm doing a factory reset (using the wipe option in twrp recovery which warns clearing of data, cache and dalvik memory)
Hey, I had CM10.2 which for some reason caused me a lot of troubles with battery and wifi so I Decided to revert to stock 4.4. I downloaded the stock from google and I installed it with the fastboot through the command prompt. But for some reason, the phone just won't turn on, it goes into the KitKat boot animation and just gets stuck there forever. What should I do?
I already tried wiping cache and it didnt really help...
Thanks!
Try a factory reset from the stock recovery.
All of the images flashed successfully without any problems?

All of the images were flashed successfully, but if I do a factory reset, what will it exactly do? won't it erase litterally anything I Have and then I will stay out of options? I have never done a factory reset so I dont really know. If I have a CM 10.2 flashable ZIP on my storage, will it stay there after the Factory reset? Because every time I have a problem with a certain rom I just flash back to the CM 10.2

It will wipe all user data including the internal storage. Basically the phone will be exactly how it was from the factory. So yes, the cm10.2 that you have will be gone after the factory reset.
But I'm pretty confident that doing a factory reset will get the phone to boot.

A factory reset does indeed wipe everything on your phone. You're learning the hard way why it is a good idea to periodically back up your phone.
The best thing about doing a factory image reset is that you start from a know good point. If the ROM you want to use is based on 4.4, then use the 4.4 factory image. Likewise if the ROM is based on 4.4.2 then use that factory image.

Maybe you've got the same issue that I just described here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595057
edit : apparently nothing to do with the radio afterall
Guys Thanks you so much I did a factory reset and my phone is now working all good with 4.4.2
Just a question, Is my phone still rooted after a factory reset?

No. It was no longer rooted after flashing the stock images.
But getting root back isn't that hard. Just install a custom recovery and flash the latest supersu.

Hello i've bought a Nexus 4 yesterday,i really Love it :victory::victory::victory:
It has 4.4.2 Stock rooted with TWRP recovery.
I wiped all (data cache and dalvik) and installed MIUI but on the reboot the MIUI it's very laggy and too much FC's
Isn't the rom because it's official
How i can fix it?

No but i know it's really easy to return to stock thanks to nexus 4 root toolkit.
Now i select my phone as bricked (but i only wiped all and rebooted in fastboot mode) and i download the 4.2.0 factory image
It's secure?

Yes you'l be fine or you can grab the factory image yourself from Google and run the flashall.bat
