[Q] Nexus 4 factory rom deleted - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day guys,
I need a help with my nexus 4, I had a rooted rom in my nexus 4 with clockwork mode recovery, I tried to wipe my data through clockwork mode but by mistake I did system wipe. Now there is no rom in the device, I can only access to fastboot mode and clockwork recovery mode, also I tried to install rom through toolkit but my PC & Mac doesn't read any device connected and no device shown in device manger in my windows 7 with using different usb cables and ports. I installed samsung drivers and adb drivers but still I cannot see the device in device manager.
Please if any body can help me to install rom back to my device.:crying:

In cwm there should be an option to mount the device as usb storage. Try that. It should let you plug the phone into the pc and simply copy the zip onto the phones internal sd.
If thats not working try this to set up the drivers. Then plug the phone in and boot into the bootloader/fastboot mode. The open command prompt and cd to the android-sdk/platform-tools directory. Then run the following command:
Code:
adb push /path/to/rom/on/pc/ /mnt/sdcard/

still not working
Still not connected to windows, I cannot do any thing with my device

Download any ROM and do the following:
1. Connect phone to PC when in fastboot
2. Install drivers (if required)
3. Flash latest version of CWM using fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
4. Reboot phone into fastboot using fastboot reboot-bootloader
5. Boot into CWM
6. Install drivers (if required)
7. Select 'Install via sideload'
8. Flash ROM using adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
9. Follow instructions in CWM
If that still doesn't work, go back to stock using this guide (and read ALL of it):

Thank you for your quick replay
My problem now that I cannot connect my device to PC, I installed drivers every thing and when I open fast boot or recovery mode and plug the cable, nothing indicates on my PC that there is a device connected even device manager not showing any device connected... I am stuck now, I cannot install any rom to get phone life back.

don't worry! the biggest problem would be that you had no drivers installed!
nexus are super easy to recover and you can play with them safely (except if you flash wrongs kernels from other devices haha)
do what my mate gets up in the post! and it will fixed it.

It's not that it's not showing, it might already be installed correctly. When you have the Nexus 4 connect in fastboot it will show in Device Manager as 'Android Bootloader Interface' under the heading of 'Android Phone (see attached)

Nexus 7 won't show up in adb devices, what should I do?

Earlier today I flashed Kaos Droid to try it out, but it put my Nexus in a state where it would not go past the screen that says Google and has the lock at the bottom. Since I have TWRP, Reboot to recovery from boot loader didn't work. I tried fixing the problem in not Windows and Ubuntu, but Windows kept on ending up as unknown device and no matter what drivers I tried to make it use it would not take, and in Linux it didn't show up in adb devices. I got lucky and it rebooted into TWRP after my fifth try of selecting recovery from the boot loader. I restored from backup, but I don't want this to happen again, if that ever happens. What should I do to get it in adb devices? Thanks.

Try
Code:

Can't remember if you need superuser permissions or not.

How could I turn that on from bootloader? It was and is on before flashing the ROM and after restore.
Should have been able to run fastboot commands, either to try to reboot into the existing recovery, reboot into a recovery image, or flash a new recovery.

Have a look at the Device Manager in Windows with your tablet plugged in. If there's that yellow triangle, just right click and choose update driver. Then you just browse and point Windows to where you have your N7 drivers.

That's the thing, I pointed it to official N7 drivers, Google USB Drivers, SuperOneClick drivers, and a bunch of other ones. It would never take--saying either that the best drivers are already installed (even though none were installed) or no suitable drivers exist in that directory.
I'm having a similar issue here, except I can get to the "X" boot animation.

Sometimes it seems to me that, even though USB debugging is "on", it really isn't.
Several times I have had to un-check and re-check "USB debugging" before adb would recognize the device.
Just my experience. Your milage may vary.
i'm in the same boat !
,
Any ?
Are you on 4.2.2? There now should be a security dialog upon executing an ADB command on the device, it will prompt you to allow the command to be executed.
If tou aren't on 4.2.2 - then it seems to be either a driver or a ROM issue
Yes I'm on 4.2.
I had this problem too and reinstalling the SDK tools fixed it for me for some reason.

Maybe try using wugfresh toolkit. I've seen people say they couldn't use adb or fastboot but the toolkit worked. Doesn't really make sense to me since the toolkit just sends the commands for you but hey, worth a shot. It will walk you through uninstalling current drivers and doing a fresh driver install also.

I use this kit. Remove all drivers. Then install the driver again. The drivers has been install in fastboot mode and recovery mode. The nexcus is recognized in these mode by the wugfresh toolkit.
Unfortunately in normal mode, when i active usb debug mode, i get a unkown device on windows 7 32 with any possibility to update the drivers.
I get error unkow device, device is stop error 43
Cable is stock and also try another one.
I get same message error on another computer with windows 8
I confirm that my usb issue is solved.
After a factory reset, i reinstall the last release Usb ROM and USB comes back to life on my nexus.
The nexus is no more recognized as unkown device by my computer and i can install the adb driver.
During this story, i try also to get acces via wifi but was unable to connect even with adb over wifi enable on the nexus.
That why Timur recommands me to made a full factory reset.
My problem seems to be due to corrupt data that block every connections between the computer and the nexus (adb wifi and usb) based on last 4.2.2 new safety features.
So far i recommand full wipe between two rom install to avoid such trouble.
Thank a lot to timur for his support during the week end.
If your nexus is rooted, go in recovery mode and install a new rom from zip.
How to ?
Download rom of your choice via wifi
You can download a rom directly from your nexus to sd.
Check here for download (example)
http://mehrvarz.github.com/nexus-7-usbrom/
Download Google applications on your nexus via wifi
Download from here : http://donandroid.com/gapps
Before installing new rom make a save using titanium backup.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=fr
Save all your application and data in batch mode.
Create titanium.zip on your nexus 7 sd.
Then from recovery mode make a full wipe but without erasing sd data.
Follow these instructions :
Unless you format the system partition and system caches, you aint wiped nothing, there is only one way to carry out a proper full wipe, and thats the full wipe the correct way.
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe the cache partition
3. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik and batt stats.
4. Go back to mounts and storage and format system, then data, then cache.
5. Go back and install the rom zip file from the sd card.
6. Reboot.
No need to wipe data/factory reset, the contents of your internal and external sd cards are untouched.
From Recovery mode
- install titanium.zip.
- install gapps.zip
Reboot
Go to titanium backup and recover all your data.
Et voila...

Stuck in recovery mode

Today, I wanted to reinstall the ROM on my Google nexus 4, and my phone was previously rooted months ago (with Google_Nexus_4_ToolKit_v2.0.0) and was installed with AOKP custom ROM. So I booted into the recovery mode, and accidentally I formatted the system, the cache, the data, etc. I thought when I connect the phone (in recovery mode) to my PC, the PC should recognize my phone and display it as a USB drive in my computer.
However, I was so wrong. With the right driver, the phone is recognized by my PC (as shown in device manager), but it won't show up as a USB drive. So I cannot put in any ROM/gapps file into the phone, I tried to use adb push to load the ROM/gapps into the phone, but I keep getting the "Read-only file system" error. I found the /storage/sdcard0/ can receive the pushed files, but in recovery mode, I cannot select these files for install.
I am now stuck in the recovery mode and cannot do anything. I need you guys help. How can I install a ROM now? thanks a million!!!!
Adb can only be used when your device is booted on android. If not then go to the boot loader and use fastboot.

Of course you are able to use ADB in recovery mode. Have you tried
Code:
adb push nameoftherom.zip /sdcard/
or if you are using a recovery where you are able to use adb sideload
Code:
adb sideload nameoftherom.zip
Then it should work. Or try mounting the usb in mounts/storage -> mount usb storage

Of course, it should work if the drivers are installed properly
Like others said use adb push to put a file on the device and then you can flash it with recovery.
If you don't have adb you can get it either by downloading android SDK or just downloading adb did

Try flashing back to stock, then just root and put your ROM back on, I've had to do it once before

[Q] TWRP no OS installed, can't connect to PC

Hello,
I just got the OTA message for 4.4 and tried to install it but I got a bootloop. After clearing the cache and performing a factory reset in TWRP (which got installed through Nexus Toolkit) it still didn't work. Someone told me to perform a complete format through TWRP which I did (hindsight, I know) and now TWRP says I have no OS installed, adb won't see my device (I have the drivers installed) and when I go into the bootloader (which says FASTBOOT MODE) fastboot still won't recognize the device (nothing shows up on my PC either but that can be normal).
I'm at my wit's end here, is there anyone who can help me?
You need to realize that if you want to install OTA, you need to use stock recovery. Even though it is possible to flash through TWRP, it can still run into problems. Especially when you made root modifications to your device.
You don't have to do a full wipe for everything. There is a method to flash factory firmware without wiping data (link in my signature). After that if it still don't boot due to existing data, boot into a custom recovery and do a factory reset without wiping the internal storage.
But since you have custom recovery already, just go into the Development section, find a stock KitKat rom, download it and sideload it using TWRP (which is enabled it in the Advance menu).

Yes I've tried that but I don't know how to sideload it. adb doesn't see my device, fastboot doesn't either and windows doesn't recognize the device (although I have the adb naked drivers installed).

If it is connected adb should see your device while in TWRP. Fastboot only work in fastboot mode (bootloader screen), not in recoveries. If you have the UND installed then they both should work, if not it wasn't installed correctly. If you are using Windows 8 you need to disable driver signature before you can install UND (search google for that).
You could also make a bootable Ubuntu flashdrive, and use the ADB/Fastboot for Ubuntu link in my signature to install them.

I tried both. ADB devices gives me an empty line and fastboot devices (when in bootloader screen) gives me nothing at all. I've tested 2 different computers (both windows 7 x64) and it still won't detect it. When in TWRP windows tries to detect my device but it says "Unknown Device" and gives the yellow triangle.

You might have to point the drivers to your phone. If you go into device manager, see if your Nexus 4 has an error. If it does, right click it, and then update the driver. Do a manual install, and point it to the .ini file for the driver

Fix your drivers, uninstall them and select the checkbox to delete the driver files, search Google on how to disable driver signature and try reinstalling the driver again.

Just to clarify, see attachment for the correct name of the device if UND is installed correctly.
If you tried it with Ubuntu, make sure you do the 1st step from here also:

i installed the ota update normally with twrp installed everything went fine but im kind of disappointed in this update:/

Is file transfering working atleast? If it is, then it's a software problem. If it isn't, then it could be a hardware problem, you can try replacing the USB charging board for the phone. Also some roms with corrupt files can cause this issues, so try a different roms if you haven't.
File transfer used to work but atm I'm unable to even connect it to a computer so I can't actually transfer any files. If I could I would flash a rom but no files = no flashing.

hey guys, I'm having the same problem here but with a Nexus 5 now.
Its been over a month and I've kind of gave up over the situation.
I couldn't resist to write a comment on the thread, since it appears to be the same problem as mine.
long story short, I decided to order an USB charging port to replace the one on the phone (as my last attempt).
Otherwise I will consider using the device as a door stopper.

Lg g2 Boot loops

I am not sure if I can post this solution in this thread as I am not a developer and merely sharing my experience, It seems several people are having issues with bootloops after installing att update or for some other reason, my post deals with helping only a certain issue. You should be able to boot into recovery by any means in order to use my solution.
The problem I had was I was trying to flash a new Rom and copied Rom and gapps into my phone( of course I was rooted and had recovery flashed) and then out of curiosity I wiped everything in advanced wipe in twrp so now I have no Rom to boot into or no file to flash and either download mode would not work, I was p******g in my shorts as I my phone was only a week old and its dead that's what I at least thought. And after spending the whole night no solution was found in xda website and neither did Google help any, now the solution. now u should compare this to ur problem and find where u stand. I installed pdanet on my pc as stock lg drivers don't seem to help pc recognize my phone in recovery mode, then I plugged my phone to pc while phone is still in recovery mode and then opened pdanet in pc and installed lg drivers through it and then adb was able to see my device(until now I was trying adb sideload and it wasn't working) so when adb was able to see my device, I used sideload in twrp and pushed Rom from pc to phone using sideload commands and my phone was back and I am the happiest man in the world. So in short
1. This method works only for people who can boot into twrp recovery but not into phone.
2. Have ur desired roms and gapps ready 3. Make sure u have a working adb in ur pc and if not install minimal adb and fastboot application only onto ur desktop for easy access, and copy ur desired Rom and gapps into that folder and rename them to 1.zip and 2.zip for easy reference and easy adb commands.
4. Download and install pdanet on your pc. Power on ur device into recovery and plug it into your pc. Start adb from the folder u installed on your desktop(hold shift and right click within the folder(minimal adb and fastboot) and click on start command here option, command opens up and it will show in which folder ur in and then type adb devices and if everything is right your phone in sideload mode should show up as adb sideload and if not (this is where the problem is) run pdanet and install lg drivers through it and then unplug exit sideload and restart sideload in ur phone and plug it back to pc and ur pdanet will notify u have connected ur lg phone. Then run adb again and type adb devices and it will show up as adb sideload and now (you should search how to use sideload as I don't remember those commands) and push Rom into (the ones u renamed for easy access and reboot and all should be all. Sorry for the lengthy post but I typed this solution into several posts individually and so decided to put it up as sticky and if anyone feels to remove part of or all the post I have no problem, just wanted to do my help to others with similar problem.

I have more or less the same issue. Was with StockMod for D802 and received an official OTA and accepted and installed it. Now I'm stuck in bootloop. Unlike you, I can go into recovery (CWM not TWRP) BUT I can't seem to go into fastboot mode. When I hold the Volume Up and connect the phone through cable to my laptop, the phone boots but goes automatically into recovery mode. Did system wipe as well (which I shouldn't have) and at that point my phone has no OS to boot into so I used ADB to transfer CM 10.2 and GAPPS to my phone hoping that if I do it like I'm flashing a custom rom will help but unfortunately it didn't. I'm still stuck in bootloop and can't go into fastboot. help please...:crying:
Try a stock Rom and see if it helps.

[Help] I bricked my Axon. Need help.

So i've gone through every thread here without success. I have a unlocked bootloader but no OS nor custom recovery and i cant get into fastboot mode to install twrp. When i use ADB it wont find my device unless i go into Stock recovery -> update through ADB and even then it only recognized my device as sideload. What can i do? When i tried to use the MiFlash tool i cant seem to get the correct qualcomm drivers installed. what can i do?
Edit: I solved my issue by downloader the stock B08 system on my S5 and then i placed it in the external sd. Then i put the SD back into the Axon and installed the system. After i had installed the system and booted into the OS i could enter adb with my device being recognized and after that i flashed twrp by using ADB.
I have a new problem though and that is that i can't install the 3.1.0.0. twrp. it only boots into black screen when i enter recovery. I can use the 3.0.4.0. version though.
You can't enter fastboot mode on your phone. Correct?
I also assume that you installed a ROM from recovery and that's what caused the brick, right?
What happens when you try to enter recovery?

Go into My Computer, manage, devices and try to uninstall all drivers that are possibly related to your device.
Unplug your phone and let the drivers reinstall by itself.
Go into ADB and see if ADB Devices works.
If possible go into ADB reboot edl and try to reflash custom recovery : "axon7tool -w recovery"
When recounting unplug your phone and see if you can reboot, shutdown and enter into TWRP.
ps : i hope you have a backup ?

Correct. It simply reboots.
Yup, i tried installing the B29 stock system on my G model and so i suppose i had the wrong bootstack becasue this is where my problems started.
I get to the stock android recovery.

It still wont recognize my device. Which driver am i supposed to have in the Device manager? Do you think i can use my old S5 to transfer a Stock system to the sd card and then update my phone manually through the stock recovery and then when i have an OS installed maybe i can connect to ADB. I read somewhere that ADB commands only works in recovery and in the OS.
I have a twrp backup of my system on my SD card so no worries there.

You should see your phone as QUSB_BULK. Installed the ZADIG drivers ? That may cure the problem.
After that, imo, it is important you can reboot edl and flash TWRP recovery again AND when it recounts, you pull usb.
Normally you will have replaced recovery , reboot ok and you can enter TWRP and fastboot also.
ps : sometimes it is also advisable to go to ADB RECOVERY directly and do the processes.
ps2 : when TWRP backup, you can always put it on SD via other phone and in TWRP restore. Normaly you're good to go then...
Try the Marshall London Bootloader Interface driver maybe?

Installing the driver and using it for the phone (device manager -> change driver manually (or something of the sort)) worked for me, but it could differ. Let me know. You don't have to uninstall other drivers just use that specific one for your phone by switching the driver manually via device manager.
