[guide] root nexus 4 (4.3) +install custom recovery

hello guys this guide helps you to root your nexus 4 (4.3) and install custom recovery
things needed
1)superuser http://d-h.st/Hhw
2)twrp http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/mako/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
3)andriod sdk (google it)
* [dont have sdk? then download this http://d-h.st/jCU a replacement for sdk/platformtools (this tools include stuff for windows,linux and mac too.)]
4)adb drivers installed (follow the below mentioned guide)
note:- this is almost same process as this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179 but just updated for 4.3 version
ROOTING process
1)I hope your boot loader is unlocked, if not first unlock it and then start the rooting process and turn on usb debugging (follow above mentioned guide for unlocking bootloader and to turn on usb debugging) after unlocking bootloader reboot device and then copy root.zip(links above) into your phones storage and then reboot to fastboot
2)now download the twrp recovery image and rename it to twrp and move it to sdk/platform tools. in the same directory(i.e platformtools directory) open cmd prompt(to open cmd prompt press shift+rightclick at the same time and select open cmd prmpt window option) and type (without quotes) "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and thats it you have flashed twrp
3)now go to twrp (recovery mode) and flash the root.zip (that u copied to the phones storage earlier) and that's it u have obtained the root access.
im not responsible if u bricked your device do it at your own risk

BTW you can update that manually via WiFi from playstore as chainfire mentioned in the thread that "if u already have root root access then update it from playstore"

Hi,
I can suggest you some thing but i am not responsible if u bricked your device do it at your own risk
I had same issue " waiting for device" SO you need to install correct drivers for your device i can suggest you to download nexus 4 toolkit version 2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688 and you need disconnect your nexus from usb and open your toolkit and you need :
1.choose option 13 "13. Android 4.2.2 [Build JDQ39]" (I know that your version is 4.3 but the drivers for PC is samething)
2.It will download drivers for your pc
3.Now choose option 1 that say " 1. Install Device Drivers on your PC [DO THIS FIRST] [UnPlug Device First] "
4. After driver installation you can close this tool and try again to flash your recovery like you did it before with (See above "ROOTING process")
Let me know if you succeed
Good luck

When I try to load the YT vid it says "invalid request"...
Oh its more than a vid. I am sorry in the android app it doesnt show the whole post for any reason.
And why download the whole sdk? Grab the platform tools from efrant's tutorial on how to flash a factory image. Then just place the desired recovery in the same directory and you can flash the recovery.

so it might not have recognized your adb drivers at the first time.or you could have just downloaded the nexus4toolkit by mrskip and installed adb from it. anyways did u root it?

Hi guys,
I know this topic is about installing custom recovery, but does anybody knows hot to root android 4.3 without flashing custom recovery? Yesterday I tried to boot both CWM and TWRP using:

I actually found this today:

they say:
the new version of bootloader shipped with Android 4.3 factory image changed some of the "fastboot boot" command so you need to specify a kernel commandline to use "fastboot boot" command.

[Q] Unusual bootloop won't quit

So, I was running stock kitkat on a refurbished Nexus 7. After some months it just suddenly restarted and entered a bootloop. I can turn the device off and enter fastboot mode, but the recovery just seems to be broken. I've tried using the Nexus root kit utility, and "successfully" flashed 5.0.2. It said I should wait even more than 10 minutes, and that the device would seem to be on a boot loop (again), I let it do its magic all night but nothing happened. I unlocked the device and flashed 4.4.4 and I'm having the same problem, after "succesfully" flashing, the device enters the bootloop. Any ideas are much appreciated Thanks!

Don't really know, I downloaded it more than 6 months ago... I think I'll re-download it and give it a try, if it doesn't, I'll try the recovery you told me. Sorry for the late reply, I don't get much free time nowadays :/ And thanks for all your support, if this gets me to a fully operable Nexus 7, I'll definitely make sure to get you a coffee! Cheers!
---[EDIT]---
I tried twrp recovery, it installs successfully but it keeps getting in a bootloop :/ I'll re-download ADB, hopefully this will help 'cause I'm running out of solutions

So..

What are you trying to flash? Custom kernel? Stock boot.img?
Either the .img is corrupt/incompletely downloaded OR you have unlocked boot loader using unofficial method.
1. Download the boot.img and try again
2. If it still gives error, you do not have a proper bootloader unlock. Try flashing twrp that is confirmed working by you, to verify if bootloader is properly unlocked or not.

If you had spent enough time searching on xda, you would have got the solution. I posted a solution to this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/help/unable-update-to-marshmallow-via-ota-t3389876 And the thread is marked "solved" which means it worked.
sziraqui said:
Apparently, your current recovery version does not match with your current firmware version. There are two possible workarounds-
1. Wipe system by executing "fastboot erase system" in fastboot mode. Then reflash latest official asus lollipop ROM. This will fix the recovery and firmware mismatch and you will then be able to flash MM via stock recovery.
2. If you are experienced with edit8ng updater-script, Extract all contents of MM ota. Open updater-script and remove all asserts and lines that say "abort". Then compress the contents again. (You can't edit without extracting coz zip is signed). Flash this modified ota zip via TWRP.
If you still can't flash it or you are unable to edit updater-script, pm me, I have downloaded the MM ROM, I will send you modified updater-script.
I can even convert this ota into .imgs so that you can flash directly via fastboot

sziraqui said:
alright, download the updater-script from attachment. Flash via TWRP.
Detailed instructions-
First extract entire ota zip. Delete the original updater-script.
Then extract "updater-script_modified.zip"
Copy the extracted "updater-script" to extracted ota at the right location. (META-INF/com/google/android)
Compress the ota files as a zip using 7zip or winrar. Compression level "normal" . DONT USE ANY ANDROID APP FOR COMPRESSING, USE WINDOWS/LINUX APP ONLY.
Flash the modified zip via TWRP recovery

In order to flash custom recovery you will need to unlock bootloader :
1. Instal adb\fastboot on PC then on your opt In developer options enable oem unlock.
2. Reboot phone to fastboot (power off, volume up+power)
3. From cmd type 'fastboot oem unlock'
Then go https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus2/ (download the latest version it will work on oxygen 3.1.0). Then flash supersu (attached)...and you got root

hi.. i flashed supersu 2.78 after updating to oos3.1.0 and i allways get stuck on bootlogo.. is your supersu file different from 2.78?

What do you mean by SD card? OPT doesn't have a microsd slot.
I'm not sure, it should work... I have tested it on stock 3.1.0 with latest TWPR...and it worked fine (did it a few times when I was trying custom roms and going back to stock).
EDIT: Try downloading supersu again (maybe corrupted download?) and wipe cache after flashing supersu.

Reboot Into TWRP Recovery Fail

Hi,
I've got an Asus Zenfone Pro Max M1 (6/64). And of course I would like to install custom recovery and flash magisk on it.
The thing is after I unlocked the bootloader, and installed the twrp recovery, my device won't reboot into twrp recovery. It goes blank every time and when i reboot normally, it boots up fine. And when I try getting into recovery from there, the stock recovery comes out. Also the same thing happens when I tried to install redwolf recovery.
I tried finding the solution here and everywhere else, but none helped. If anyone could help me, that would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

There's no solution to this but i also faced same.
Only Trial and Error will work.
Here's what worked for me if i remember correct
Boot to fastboot
flash twrp again (have to do this every time after booting to stock recovery )
Keep holding vol down first
Then press and hold power
It should work now
Its tricky and no one seems have written a guide on why this happens on how to solve this but don't give up, its doable! Best of Luck

Yes, the issue is there. Try the above method or you can also flash a different version of recovery which if i remember correctly was shared in another forum (I am not sure if XDA rules allow me to say it). It was for those whose TWRP froze, search on forum.

Here's what worked for me if i remember correct
Boot to fastboot
flash twrp again (have to do this every time after booting to stock recovery )
Keep holding vol down first
Then press and hold power
It should work now
Its tricky and no one seems have written a guide on why this happens on how to solve this but don't give up, its doable! Best of Luck

Hi, thanks for your suggestion.
I've been trying your suggested method since morning and unfortunately, no joy.
Any other way you might have known?

Yes, the issue is there. Try the above method or you can also flash a different version of recovery which if i remember correctly was shared in another forum (I am not sure if XDA rules allow me to say it). It was for those whose TWRP froze, search on forum.

Hi, thanks for suggesting this. Although I tried finding it on forum, no success. If you could pinpoint the forum, that would be highly appreciated. Starting to get annoyed with this problem though lol

reboot to bootloader
Flash twrp via adb
Long press power button to switch off
Press and hold power and vol down button until unlocked bootloader warning shows
You will be rebooted to twrp

Try Wolf RWRP

How did you flash the above one
Running ADB command and reboot or directly to twrp

This is the one mate. After booted into system, I updated the twrp using the official twrp app. But it works just fine without the latest updated version too.

Ah I see, now I understand.
The solution to your problem is somewhere in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-x-t3787134
I noticed someone (user: Jide1 if I'm not mistaken) posted the twrp version that's compatible with pie rom which has problem loading into twrp. Look it up.
