So I took the N preview and broke my TWRP install, it refuses to mount system no matter what I put in, how I have the password set etc.. I know it has been covered ad nauseum. I just have not had the time to work on it or revert to factory. Today I got the notification for the new N Preview OTA and I would like to take it but when it downloads and reboots it goes into TWRP and asks me to mount the partition (which does not work). Anyway around this? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
I cannot even get into TWRP, I get stuck on the splash screen. How did you actually get into the menu? Are you using 3.0.2?
I tried on 3.0.2 and 2.8.7.2 (Which is what is currently installed) Both would get passed the menu, neither would mount. I just want to take the OTA if possible!!

Might as well just flash the new image instead of taking the OTA, right? Same effect just one less step?

NRT - Boots TWRP to flash the stock recovery, and when you can't mount it fails when it does the push. After your suggestions, first thing I tried!! If I don't mount and click cancel I can get into TWRP and it accepts commands from cmd line or NRT but no storage mounted.

Just get my nexus, i unlock it root it and try to install twrp through nexus 4 toolkit...when im on flashboot i choose reboot recovery but nothing happens...also i notice that i have a bootloader* version mako10o ( i see only 10i and 10I exists correct me if im wrong)
Edit: somehow with nexus root toolkit i manage to flash it..even with some difficulties....
so anyone else has this bootloader?i have the nipples and the smaller "hole" in the back camera too!!
Don't use a toolkit and learn to do it all manually
I know who to make it manually even than from my old phone its a bit different..but i unlock,root,change recovery in 1st hour the phone came...
You probably types the wrong command or didn't place the file in the right place.
Anyways, you can just flash twrp using the too manager app from the play store.

Hello forgive me if this is the wrong place on this forum for this topic.
I unlocked my phone with the wugfresh method and did keep it stock ROM. Now my sweet google phone wants to update OTA but it won't do it.
Can someone help me. I want to go 4.3 and keep it stock, and rooted: )
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Do it manually by downloading the Google factory images and flashing them yourself. Can either flash them through a toolkit like I did (which most people wouldn't recommend), or you can flash them yourself with fastboot. A quick search or look around will show you how to do it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
Do you mean that selecting the download/install button will not do anything?
Did you install a custom recovery?, you need a stock recovery for it to work, I have the stock recovery image itself if you need it.

Indeed de download/install button didn't do anything. I have custom recovery twrp on it.

Use fastboot to flash the image from your computer. Efrant has a guide for returning to stock in General.
This, yet again, is why people shouldn't use toolkits.
gues thanks my nexus is back alife with the post in the general, id managed it. thanks guys.
this method brings me some old dos memories back :highfive: hhehe was fun afterwarts

I've aquired this Nexus 4 from a friend who has somehow wiped the recovery and rom, I can boot into fastboot, but that's it, if I go to the recovery option through fast boot it gives me the android with the exclamation point, implying there is no functional recovery.
So! I've finally borrowed a friends laptop and am having trouble getting fastboot setup, Drivers/Fastboot has always been my downfall.
I recently used this same computer to root a nexus 5 so I should have proper **** for that, would that work? can anyone maybe help me out a little.
I check device manager (Windows 7) and there's no category that has anything to do with the nexus 4 or removable devices. I've tried installing drivers a couple different ways, but am having no luck of course. I would try to delete the previously installed drivers but I have no entry to device manager to click, The only will only boot as far as fastboot so I'm just kinda stuck as fastboot hasn't really been my thing, I have fastboot.exe on this pc from previous use, I tried to go to the folder and "open command prompt here" and type adb devices to see if it would show the device and got nothing so I'm kinda lost, someone please help me out as I only have this laptop for as long as my friend is here and theres no others near to me use. Please and thank you

If you can only boot into fastboot use fastboot devices, not adb. adb only works in recovery. Adb and fastboot are different

You'll probably need to flash the factory image, get it from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Un- zip it and inside you'll see a flash-all.bat. while you're booted into the bootloader double click on the bat.

My thoughts are since the recovery is screwed I just need get fastboot functional and flash a recovery, I'm a custom ROM kinda guy. So if that's all I need than cool, (I currently have a nexus 5) I know mako has other bootloaders and radios and **** and I'm not sure exactly what version of android this is on or anything. Bit my situation is definitely having a phone that'll only go to fastboot, when I try to boot regularly it just sits at the Google logo.

Not sure if just flashing the recovery will work, but download the factory image and unzip it. Inside is another zip, unzip that too. There you'll find the recovery.img
In fastboot use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If all you want to do is flash the factory image just use the flash-all.bat that's inside the factory image. Extract the image then with you device in fastboot mode and connected to the pc, just double click the batch file

Not sure what he did. I would flash the factory image and start over again. Google nexus 4 custom recovery xda. That should get you everything you need to get rooted and running custom roms again

Alright, I'm gonna wake this back up, I've had the nexus 4 for a while and have just been using the stock modem becuse when I tried to hybrid ones I'd either lose mobile data or the phone would sit at the splash screen for at least 10 minutes before booting.
Which modem should I be using?

I have searched and searched everywhere and could not find an answer. I even posted my situation in the q&a section and it just got lost in the thread.
Ok so here goes, i was running multirom with stock as my primary, and the L port as secondary. Ran for months no issues ever. I was going to give the phone to my wife so i was gonna wipe the phone and put it back to factory fresh.
I had the phone booted (running secondary L port) and attemted to boot into recovery. The phone rebooted and got stuck at the google logo with the lock at the bottom. So i rebooted phone into bootloader(fastboot) and scrolled to recovery and was met with the same outcome. Then i rebooted once more to fastboot and scrolled to start ans same logo again. Even from a fully powered down device trying to start phone normally i get the same logo.
So i decided to just flash factory images since i was gonna anyways(twice actually)with wugs toolkit. I recieved zero errors both times but you guessed it same result.
I even tried another battery and still same BS. Last night i decided to flash a JB image manually so i could see changes in bootloader ie radio,bootloader ver,recovery etc. Now bear in mind in fastboot it would not reboot bootloader by selecting it so i would have to power off device and then use button combo to get back into fastboot to flash the next file. I continued untill everything was complete followed by rebooting to os and still same [email protected]$$$ng logo. Please someone help.

Flash the factory image in fastboot, don't use wugs. If it still doesn't work you have a hardware problem.

Hello op2 was rooter, unrooted on su, installed os, rebooted and phone optimises as usual, and starts again endlessly... I have access to fastboot. When trying to go into recovery, all phone remains in boot logo... I had made a backup of my phone and left it on as card is there any way I can get it? Is there any way I can reactivate recovery without loosing everything? Your help would be greatly appreciated!!

I wasnt even rooted and did the OTA and ended up getting boot loop. Had to clear data for it to work.
They've changed the bootloader. So a modified TWRP is required. Flash Grarak's modified twrp via fastboot ---> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572330218882108
Then Flash the Rom via Modified recovery. Full guide ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/zip-oxygenos-3-x-t3392826
could I be luck and not loose all.my data and backups left on the SD card if I used your options?

Connect phone using fastboot & issue this command "fastboot continue". This should turn on the phone (if u restart u might end up in bootloop again), When it does go to developer options and enable "oem unlocking". Then try to unlock it. Then flash TWRP and any rom u like.
