Nexus 4 problem... - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I am having problems with my nexus 4. when i make a call sometimes.. i hear nothing, not the dial tone or the person on the other end, just silence. Restarting the phone seems to cure it, so i am having to restart phone quite a bit.
I did have my phone rooted and had a custom rom on it but for a while now i have been using the stock roms which i downloaded and upgraded when they become available over the air., on android 5.1.1 currently. I used the nexus root toolkit to root my phone by the way.
Do you think if i unrooted and completely wiped my phone and installed 5.1.1 again it would cure my phone of its problem, as it seems like a software issue more than a hardware one to me?
Does anyone know of the easiest way for me to unroot my nexus 4, wipe then install the stock 5.1.1 rom on it please?
Thanks in advance guys

Sounds you have the same problem I had after the latest update.
Started over again with a clean freshly install of LMY48l.
Did the job easy with the latest wug-fresh.
Good luck....

I have had this problem for a while now, even before I updated to 5.1.1. What's the easiest way to unroot and then completely format the phone.. before putting on a stock 5.1.1?

I never personally used wug-fresh but I'm pretty sure there is an back to stock option. If there is that will both unroot and wipe your phone.

[Q] Nexus 7 update help

Hi Everyone,
I am currently running android 4.3(JWR66v) I flashed it using fastboot, so it is clean.
After that I rooted it and installed CWM v6.3.6 and BusyBox pro.
That is the only changes I did to my device,everything else is stock.
2 day ago I got a system update notification, looking in the cache folder I found this :
"8b2531d9d9a686c7dcf347513ce8141d59a251c6.signed-nakasi-JWR66Y-from-JWR66V.8b2531d9.zip"
I confirmed the reboot/Install but it failed with the classic (Status 7) I do not understand what is going on ?
Do I need flash my device again with a factory to get the update to install ?
I had the same setup since I bough this device last year and It had no trouble what so ever upgrading before(Unlocked+rooted+CWM)
This is supposed to be a nexus device but it sure doesn't act like one,
Can some one please help ?
Had the same problem going from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Same as you, stock rooted, but had TWRP as my recovery. I did go back to stock recovery, but no go. Ended up doing clean install. However, going from JWR66V to JWR66Y, I had no problem. Took OTA without even having to install stock recovery.
You must not be as stock as you think. My guess is you must have altered something in system that they are checking on. Hope someone with more knowledge is able to help you out because it is a PITA to have to clean install for every update. Good luck.

[q] urgent help needed

I tried to flash a rom and it didn't go so well due to the fact it was for Verizon S4 only and I missed that,
anyway I decided to go back to my recovered stock TW rooted Rom and everything was fine until... my WiFi stopped working, just wouldnt turn on then was asking me to reboot my device?
after a bit of searching I found out to just revert back to official stock firmware.. BUT
for some strange reason and for the first time ever, when I reflash the official stock firmware it stays as custom and is all buggy and crashes a lot. could this be because I am flashing an official stock that is less updated than my rooted TW?
someone help me cause it's really starting to aggravate me!
thanks!
When you flash the stock, do a factory reset. Any if it does not work, repeat the procedure (reset/flash/reset). But make sure you have the right stock (I suggest to take it from sammobile). I heard of up to 7 tries before success...
good luck
@JacksonPa93:
Can you check if you actually have this problem (WLAN/Bluetooth doesn't work and random crashes with reboots):

fixed!
I think I've solved it by what was mentioned about factory reset>flash stock
Took me 5 times to eventually get it working..
thanks guys

Slimbean 4.2.2 Build - media issues

Hi all,
I recently installed the newest build of Slimbean. I am having a few issues: I am unable to play any media... Music, videos (youtube). My phone app does not work. I cannot receive nor send any calls. And my phone produces no sounds at all.
I tried installing build 7 to see if it was an issue with the build I was using... didn't help.
Internet and wifi work without any problems.
Galaxy S4 i337m
Baseband: I337MUMUAMDL
Version: Slim-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL
Build #: slim_jfltecan-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E eng.blk_jack.20130706.15730 test-keys
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I'd Odin back to stock and see if you still have the issue. If you do it's a hardware issue.

I did just that... But it's a bit of a story.
I had just fixed another problem I was having yesterday. Was getting stuck at the S4 splash screen right after powering on the phone. The problem was caused by TWRP 2.6 and formatting /data partition. Long story short, I installed CWM and used it to do a full wipe/format of partitions and then was able to install ROMs, restore backups without issue.
So today, since everything was working, I decided to flash a new custom ROM (which I installed) and the MG1 radio. Wasn't having any luck with the radio. Finally, I was able to flash a radio via mobile odin, but then I soft bricked my phone. Got stuck at the S4 splash screen (same issue I had yesterday, but this time, a different cause). So was troubleshooting it all day. Tried to go back to stock, no luck. Tried to restore the stock backup I had, no luck. Only thing I could do was install custom ROMs at this point to get into my phone (i.e. Slimbean, FoxHound, etc...). But, at this point, although I could boot into Android, I had no sound at all and couldn't play video. So after hours of trial and error, I installed CWM again (replacing TWRP 2.5.0.2), did a full wipe/format and tried to install a stock ROM. No luck. Still was hanging at the S4 splash screen. Then I tried to install this ROM again which I had luck with in the past; |ROM| |★VLUAMG1★| |CANADIAN||i337M||STOCK||ROOTED||July.26.13|. But his instructions said to install a wifi fix or fear soft bricking my phone. So I installed the wifi fix, but selected the wrong file (I know, stupid. Done a lot of stupid **** in the past couple days with this phone). Now, after the phone rebooted, I would see the S4 splash screen for a split second, and it would auto load into download (odin) mode. Couldn't get into recovery at all. So then I decided to flash one of the stock ROMs I tried earlier that didn't work, but this time, SUCCESS!!!!! Phone was booting and all sounds worked. I could make/receive phone calls as well... Everything seems to be working fine now. I find it funny that flashing a wifi fix that I shouldn't have seems to have fixed my issue in a sense. Since it allowed me to successfully flash a stock ROM. So I am making a backup of the stock ROM and will decide what I'm going to do from here.
Holy goalie!!! It's been a very vexing couple of days.
Nice that you got it all worked out, I've found out that if your "status" is custom, it will sometimes give you problems when flashing a "stock" rom via odin.
So what I always do when reverting back to the stock rom, I use triangle away to clear the flash count and make my phone back to "Official". If you want the steps to do this, let me know, it's not hard, but there are crucial steps to get this right!

Unrooted S4 to 5.0 Lollipopm cant connect to wifi at all

Hi I need desperate help
two days ago I went from CM11 to S4I9505 Google Play Edition ROM 5.0.1 and everything was running perfectly. Today I used an app known as "ROM Installer" to flash TWRP easily which it did but I couldnt go back to normal menus and it kept on booting back to Recovery. So I wiped everything and installed the same ROM as it is in my External SD. It was successful but it still would boot to recovery and nothing would work. So I thought my option was to unroot the phone. I used the XDA Unroot/Unbrick guide and used an Android 5.0. Lollipop firmware to flash the stock firmware (second time every using Odin, the first was disastrous and I hated it). I flashed the official stock and it is running but cannot activate WiFi what so ever. It just refuses to toggle. So I reflashed the stock firmware again and it still doesn't work. I was thinking of somehow downgrading to KitKat, use CM Installer which is how I initially rooted the phone and revert to a CWM backup that I made before I flashed the S4 GPE ROM and start over. However I tried using that CM Installer and since im on Lollipop it would refuse to work and I really wanna get back to how everything was before :'( I really dont know what to do (No warranty or anything on this S4) All I can do is make calls and texts. Please help!
fixed!
I've fixed it! Its all back on stock with the all that bloatware and useless features only problem now is whether there is a way to deleted this thread

problems un-rooting

I rooted my nex4 so i could put some apps on but left the rom stock but now it is not updating properly. I read that my phone needs to be unrooted to update properly or to do a factory reset (I am thinking about selling it, but would like to be able to say its updated and clean).
Is there a program that I can use to *un*root my nexus 4?
Thanks in advance
