how to flash new spl ra recovery and radio via fast boot

I know this might be a noob question but I'm trying to
Get the new radio and 14 MB hack so I'm really trying to do
this but when I go to bootloader and hit fastboot USB nothing
happens my radio right know is 2.22.23.03... I updated to the lattest radio before thru recovery but no rom would load up so I think I need to flash the right spl ra recovery and radio all
Together for this to work. Holla

OK so held the camera and the power together and this is what's on my
phone dream pvt 32b s off 1.33.2005
2.22.23.03 know how do I flash thru fast boot the spl 1.33d 15mb
Radio

Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.28.25.img (or radio-2.22.27.08.img)
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase system -w
should be sufficient to get the "ram-hack"-combo.
The img files must be located in the directory from where you are calling the fastboot command.

How does Clockword relate to fastboot???
You need to boot your phone into fastboot mode (back + power on), you connect your phone with your PC and then you enter the commands I wrote in my last post on a shell on your PC and after that everything is fine.
Edit: if you need intstructions to use / set up fastboot you might have a look here

OK thanks I knew it was something else too this hack

Fastboot - Partition table doesn't exist

I've been trying to push the bootloader and radio from the 4.2.2 factory image using fastboot using the commands below
fastboot flash radio "filename.img"
fastboot flash hboot "filename.img"
The radio works just fine, but while flashing the bootloader it gives me an error saying "partition table doesn't exist".
Any idea what this means and how it can be fixed?

AW: Fastboot - Partition table doesn't exist
Hboot is HTC. On Nexus 4 it is
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

hboot is HTC. for N4 you use
fastboot flash boot boot.img
boot.img is whatever your bootloader image is. Please note:flashing wrong/corrupted boot.img is difficult to recover.

No
boot is the kernel.
bootloader is the bootloader.

There is no "bootloader" partition. Good luck flashing on that. Nexus 4 mount point thread:

So the command would be fastboot flash bootloader "boot.img" ?
This is a bit confusing

is that so? =)
even if there is no "bootloader" partition, fastboot still flashes the right partition when used with "flash bootloader".

You're gonna make someone brick their device. Do us all a favor and stick to toolkits. Please.
It's definitely most ****ing definitely:

NO!
Your advice above is totally wrong, and will brick a phone if it is followed. Boot is the kernel, NOT the bootloader.

I followed his instructions
I followed his instructions and used fastboot flash boot boot.img
Is it hopeless and I need to buy a new phone or is their still hope?
Oddly, it seemed to allow me to use the correct method fastboot flash bootloader boot.img, bu I get stuck in a bootloop.
If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.

boot = kernel
bootloader = bootloader
radio = modem
userdata = nand´s user data storage(/data)
system = system
cid = not used on n4
so for god sake
just install stock images
its pretty straitgh forward, just double click on .bat

Of course you're in a boot loop. You still have the bootloader image in your kernel because that's where you flashed it to!
Wouldn't the solution be to get a KERNEL image and flash that to the BOOT partition before you flash your bootloader image to its correct partition (bootloader) which is what you now doing?
You never posted back on where you ended up with your phone.

download a recovery image file, boot into fastboot and flash using the fastboot command.
Once you have your recovery you can flash superSU
command: fastboot flash recovery recoveryFileName.img

[Q] Kitkat big mess, bootloop only! Any help?

Hi there,
I think I screwed in such a fashioned manner that I did not spot any spot to better expose my issue.
I run a Nexus 4 root which used to run fine with 4.3.
I did ota to Nexus 4.4 failure.
Then I did Efrant guide (without step 10) to go 4.4, it worked.

fastboot flash system system44.img
fastboot flash boot boot44.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery44.img
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot
I had really bad experience with kitkat. No notification, sms history gone, home virtual button not working (only blipping), same for the top right notification menu.
Well I thought going to 4.3 would be best.
I did 4.3 through the same steps with different archives and boot loop at the X.
Then I tried a 4.2.2 but I did a huge mistake, I did it with Nexus 7 files. After sweating a bit I got it back in fastboot mode.
Then I tried 4.3 occam and 4.4 occam. Bootloop, old style and new one.
Now I can try 4.2.2 or 4.4 with fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Any clue?
Edit: From Efrants:
Note that some users indicate that they can't get past the X on boot. If this happens to you, reboot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, when you see the Android with the red exclamation mark, hold power and press volume up to take you to the menu. Wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset (this will obviously delete all your data & files in /sdcard...).
I can go to the red exclamation mark.
Than all the combinations I do just reboot me. What is the trick? Power on then volume up? Power on and volume up at the same time? How long should I press?

Try this
Get proper files for let's say 4.3 mako
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The bootloader and radio being from stock ota from Google, recovery stable custom one
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Make sure all matches
Boot to recovery
Flash ROM of choice, use a 4.3, maybe slimbean
May need to sideload the ROM though

OK I get the idea. By flashing the ROM of your choice what do you mean, flashing an OTA zip? I know how tosideload, just trying to understand what to flash.
I am about to try to flash a recovery (twrp) to wipe cache.
I tried and added system and boot.
/!\ fastboot erase system -w Erase all userdata I wanted to do that as a last option... Well now it is done...
The phone is now properly booting a 4.2.2 I will see tonight if I can get it to 4.3 or 4.4

ROM of choice is ROM of your choice, hence the recommendation for slimbean but only a recommendation
The fastboot erase system -w will cover wiping cache, but yeh still download and install the twrp image

Well thanks for your help.
I think that my first install of 4.4 was messy. I really suspect that I installed bad radio and or bootloader. Thank you google for giving same name to different versions. Or may be I got some corrupted stuff on userdata?
When I went back to 4.3 I dont know what went wrong, maybe only that cache issue?
Then messing with the nakasi img (call me stupid) could not do any good.
I took too much confidence in messing the previous upgrades and recovering without loosing personnal data...
Now I have a fresh start to think about it...

I've got one question and one question only: how do I install 4.3 again on my nexus 4 again. I have NEVER rooted or flashed my phone. Would really really appreciate all the help I can get.

reboot to recovery
flash rom of choice
There are many guides on rooting and fastboot, i would suggest staying away from any toolkit
as if you would like to learn, you wont from a toolkit.
the above take minuets and is far from a difficult task, its a nexus, its meant to be easy.
peek your nose around the forum a bit, you have any issues or are unsure just ask and id be glad to help

Got 4.06 OTA how can I install using TWRP?

Is there a way to do it through TWRP?
Where can I find the file?
Can anyone send me stock recovery so I can flash this update?
Thanks!

Hi, you cant flash under TWRP you need stock recovery to do that. You can get stock recovery from the Zip of the rom 4.06 and flash it by fastboot
Unlock Bootloader: fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX563J
Flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thanks, can you point me to the 4.06 ROM link?
I've flashed stock recovery through TWRP, but now the update stops at 25% and reboots the phone.
Any thoughts?
If the 4.06 is the whole rom and not just the update it might work.
The update file has about 250mb.

You don't have to flash stock recovery first. The phone actually has two recoveries onboard even if you flashed TWRP.
Power off the phone.
Boot the phone with power and volume down buttons simultaneously.
Select emergency recovery with the volume up down buttons.
Press the power button and the phone will boot into emergency recovery.
Now you are able to flash a stock ROM.
Obviously after that you will loose TWRP which will be replaced again with the stock recovery.
