I tried to update a rom by dirty flashing but there was a problem when I tried to install the zip, now I cant get past the google logo. I have TWRP recovery and I can get into that.. What shall I do? I have a nandroid from back when I first rooted the device. Whats the best way to get everything working again while still keeping all my recent sd card data the same.

if you have the previous working rom in your storage, just flash it. if not, you can push it to your device via the adb push option in twrp. you should always keep the last working rom zip in your storage just in case.

I wish I didnt delete the last working one when downloading the new one.. So do I just push the rom by adb? Any guides?

Try a data factory reset/wipe cache in recovery and reboot. You should be able to get into recovery.

type this when you are in twrp and have the fastboot cmd window open
adb push "filename.extension" /sdcard/"filename.extension"
then flash the rom
alternatively, you can use sideload.

I recently tried to flash PA on my nexus.
Installed cwm on my phone. Then downloaded the PA ROM and moved to the device storage.
Rebooted into CWM and performed all the wipes.
I accidentally wiped the system and the internel partitions too.
when i tried to install ROM from sdcard. it says "NO FILES FOUND"
Iam stuck here. Phone wont boot into Android... any suggestions? please help!
How did you wipe system within CWM?
But since you say you wiped internal partitions too, it seems to me that you wiped your internal emulated sdcard... so I think your only option now is to flash stock images again... Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
If you don't want to flash the stock images you can also push a rom to your phone with adb while booted in a custom recovery
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
Thanks guys. Found a solution.
Flashed TWRP and sideloaded the ROM file. And flashed it.
Earlier the same process with CWM was not successful. Now the phone is loaded with PA ROM!
Thanks guys! and can u point me to the google stock images??

wiped /system? have you tried simple re-flashing your ROM from the .zip ?
no worry... download the nexus 4 twrp latest img from their site, and flash it to your N4
what you needed:
twrp img file
some n4 rom
adb and fastboot
instructions:
boot to fastboot, vol key down + powerbutton when n4 is off.
on your comp, , dos/terminal - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
reboot in recovery
select the adb side load from advanced tab in the twrp.
on your comp - adb sideload rom.zip
everything done....reboot phone.

did you wipe using fastboot erase command? if so, you need to re-format to the android supported file system to access the partitions!
try installing the twrp recovery and perform 'FORMAT DATA' from wipe. then install ROM.
N4 no OS.

Hello,
I'm trying the whole damn day now to unbrick my N4 after installing the latest CM10.1 nightly. (0907)
- No other ROM on the phone
- No backup
- USB debugging disabled
- Phone doesn't boot further than to the Google logo
- TWRP 2.5.0.0 is installed.
I tried to ADB sideload the 0906 nightly, but sideload is not working with TWRP somehow. It says "Starting ADB sideload" for about 5 minutes, then "Cancelling sideload" and Failed.
What now?
fastboot back to factory images and start from scratch with a working flashable zip of CM (or another ROM of your liking)
I recommend Carbon
Yes, that would work, but this wipes everything and I have some data on my phone I don't want to lose.

Well you said ADB sideload doesnt load so.... have fun with a unbootable phone then.
Just have to take the consequences and learn from your lesson so it doesn't happen again. Sorry :/ either that or figure out ADB sideload and get it to work.

You don`t have to flash userdate.img, (will not loose data), if it doesn`t boot after the flash than you have to do a data factory reset in recovery. Look here for how to flash a factory image https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.

Did you do a factory data reset before flashing the ROM?

I did a very clean flash (wipe & reset factory data too)

Boot in recovery, then connect your phone to your PC.
Use "adb push" to push a ROM to your phone, and then flash it with recovery.
Or
Use the "adb sideload" option from recovery.
Thank you very much for your replying,
because "USB Debugging is enabled": NOT ENABLE because of the new rom
will it work with my phone?

No you dont need usb debugging enabled. Adb should work by default when your phone is booted into a custom recovery.

You mean the rom you just flashed? It depends on what remote path you used in the adb command.
(adb push rom.zip /path/on/phone/)
oh sorry,
I meant, when this new rom (for exemple: purity.zip) is pushed to my phone via SIDELOAD,
after 100% loaded, where this "purity.zip" will be in my phone,
so that I can flash this rom to the phone
Thank you.

If you use adb sideload you wont have to look for it to flash...it gets flashed automatically. (adb sideload = adb push + flash via recovery)
Nonetheless the file will be pushed to the root of your sdcard and it will be renamed to sideload.zip. (/sdcard/sideload.zip)
If you use adb push then you specify where you want to push it to.
Frist of all, Thank you Chromium for your help, it works.
Now, I can push the file to my phone.
However, it seems that there something wrong because of my flash rom from xenoHD (Android v4.2.2) to Purity (Android v4.3)?
I dont know, but after I flash "back" the OLD xenoHD, my phone is still stuck at the GOOGLE screen...
Please give me your advice.

So Purity 4.3 works but xenon 4.2 doesnt work?
Are you wiping in between?
1. I was using ok with XENO HD (4.2)
2. Today, I tried PURITY 4.3
3. Stucked at GOOGLE SCREEN
4. After learn the new technique, I was able to copy the old rom XENO HD 4.2 BACK & FLASH ( I DO WIPE, FACTORY RESET..before FLASHING)
5. It still STUCKED AT THE GOOGLE SCREEN
....
Do you guess any reason why, or you have any suggestion what I should do, to get back the NORMAL PHONE

Oh, i see. It seems that you're doing everything correctly. If you just want the phone back in a working condition you can flash the factory images. That should get the phone up and running again, but it'll remove your custom recovery, so you will have to reflash one after, but lets be honest....not that hard.
Chromium & abaaaabbbb63, Thank you very much!

Factory reset isn't enough, you also need to format the /system partition sometimes. Also you need to flash a compatible 4.3 kernel with your 4.3 rom. Usually the kernel is included in the rom.zip in the form of boot.img, but you can flash your own.
As to move files from your computer to your phone, use: adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
Or you can flash the file directly, by putting the recovery into sideload mode and type: adb sideload rom.zip
I can't boot into Android because my phone has no ROM in it and I can't install a ROM because of /data partition problems. I can get into recovery fine.
So I want to pull all the files from my phone. Can I do this in recovery, using ADB? If so, what is the command?
Thanks!

Can you still boot in to TWRP or do you get stock recovery? I'm not sure why you can't copy Chroma over but if you can still boot in to TWRP it allows you to mount USB storage. I haven't tried this option myself but you may be able to flash Chroma from an external storage device. You can also boot in to bootloader and follow Heisenberg's guide listed in the index and fastboot the stock images which is probably your best bet.
What happens when you try to move the file over? Have you tried to adb push the file over like so:
Code:
adb push [I]file_location_on_computer[/I] /sdcard

I do not and I prefer to keep stuff in the forum so that everyone can benefit from this
Additionally, if you can't push the Chroma file to your phone, you can flash back to stock using Heisenberg's guide here (step 11) then do step 7 to install Chroma.

If you flash the stock recovery image, you will need to reflash TWRP. I usually just omit that command when flashing back to stock so I don't have to reflash TWRP.
