[Q] Stuck while flashing kitkat 4.4 on nexus 4

Hi,
so i followed the steps to flash android on my nexus using ClockworkMod recovery.
I did the following steps and now I am stuck. my phone wouldn't load and I cant do anything about it
1. Bootloader was unlocked and I installed the clockworkmod recovery.
2. backed up my phone
3. I copied the ROM zip file to storage of the phone. (I cant find it through recovery now)
4. rebooted into recovery mode
5. did the nAndroid backup (which is not working now and hence my phone is spoiled)
6. performed complete wipe of the device including factory reset, cache partition and dalvik cache.
the problem is that I cant restore the nAndroid backup which i created using the recovery any more. I also tried mounting the USB storage using recovery but it still doesn't work.
I am also not able to see the phone as a Storage device in my computer any more otherwise I could load the ROM file again and try.
Please suggest any ideas or solutions.
Regards

error while restore
Whenever I am trying to restore the backup it shows error "MD5 mismatch"

Okay, first what rom are you flashing. And did you do a factory reset in the recovery before you flash it?
By flashing in custom recovery means you are flashing an unofficial version of KitKat, because normal you use fastboot method to flash the factory image from Google. Try using this stock rom from fireb33: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010887
Secondly, did you flash the latest version of CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198942
If you used latest recoveries and factory reset, and it still doesn't boot, then backup your nandroid and use the fastboot method to flash the factory stock image (link in my sig).
To backup your nandroid, you need to locate where it is and use "adb pull" command, try this: adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/ C:\backup\
The MD5 mismatch means your file is not original or corrupt, it could be due to various reasons.
Nexus devices do not have microSD card so they cannot use the mount USB storage feature.
I am willing to bet most of your issues could be avoided by using TWRP recovery instead of CWM. Get it here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako, flash it in fastboot by "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", it is not compatible with CWM nandroid.
If you neeed to send certain files to your phone, don't forget the sideload feature if you want to flash a zip file from your computer. Enable sideload in your recovery, and type: adb sideload *.zip

the only optionyou have is to flash a factory image through fastboot..head over here --> Click Me

i downloaded the factory image from google extracted then did the same fastboot flash as the 4.3 but switched the names to the files in the krt16o zip. it worked perfectly for me. tried using wugs toolkit and everything went to crap. i say do the same method as 4.3 but rename all the files accordingly.

Flashed TWRP and a custom rom; cannot access internal storage... please help

Guys I am in need of help. I did not fully understand step 10 in TWRP installation guide and just skipped originally. I did notice I could not wipe anything but thought I would be fine so I just dirty flashed custom ROM assuming wipe would work afterwards and I can clean install after.
I am obviously stuck now with 0MB internal storage shown along with no access to phone since it says upon boot that verification has failed and that I need to reset my phone.
Now, I do have important photos/datas which are invaluable and thus do not want to lose... I did hear other guys restored their nandroid backup and were fine.
My question is, is there any way for me to access and back up my internal data somehow? I did hear something like flashing a stock firmware via Odin without the cache inside. Could someone confirm that this would work please? Would really appreciate a response. Thanks guys.
I did try this:
If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
But TWRP would not allow me to flash because it said it could not mount storage. I presume this is because I exited TWRP...
Please, any guidance would be much appreciated.

Do a wipe, system, data/ dalvic , and cache . Do NOT check internal storage and SD card...reflash your rom

Thanks for the reply but I cannot do that since the phone does not let me wipe from TWRP due to the encryption issues I believe.

Thanks man. I am aware of this but have not done so which is my problem haha. Does anyone know of this set PIN before flashing stock rom on ODIN please? I obviously cannot since I cannot boot to system but I do not want to make assumptions like before, go ahead and cause myself more stress...

Hold up, have you flashed SuperSU? That should be the only thing stopping you from being able to boot up. After flashing TWRP and a custom rom you need to install SuperSU to be able to boot.
Either try to flash SuperSU using TWRP built in ADB or buy an external sd card and flash from there. You don't need to disable encryption and in fact, that zip you tried to use actually wipes your internal storage anyway so don't try it again.

How can I install Oxygen OS 5.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader?

Good day!
Our country just received the Oxygen OS 5.0.1 update.
How can I install it with an unlocked bootloader?
I was going to relock it but I found out that if I did, my data will be gone.
The only difference in the set-up of my phone from a stock OP5 is the unlocked bootloader.

What do you mean?
I tried to update my phone using the normal way but after downloading and tried to install it, it failed because my bootloader is unlocked.

I just made a backup of data using codeworkx recovery. Copied the backup (Along with the files on userdata I wanted to keep) to my PC.
Wiped all and formatted data. Then installed Oreo and copied back the files and data backup from the pc to the phone and restored data with codeworkx recovery again.
Then flashed magisk 15.2 and rebooted.
Everything working fine now.

I managed to flash Nougat without locking my bootloader. But I also had to Format the Data partition to make it work. I used Titanium Backup to backup the data of the Apps and Myapplist to make a list of the apps. After installing Oreo I only needed to spent 1 hour to restoring the app data.

Hello, I'm interested in the same thing.. I have oxygen osv4.5.x received notice for is 5.0.1 and want to install. I have an unlocked bootloader and am also rooted w/magisk. I want to keep my unlocked bootloader and root after upgrading. I also want to do a "clean" install.
Can anyone provide detail instructions, including best back up method of data and links to any files needed (twrp, magisk, etc) thanks

This is what I did:
Downloaded OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_04d7cc5. zip, twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img and Magisk-v15.3.zip.
Rebooted to TWRP and installed the Codeworkx TWRP using the Install->Image option inside TWRP.
Rebooted to TWRP again to make sure that my TWRP was updated.
Entered WIPE from TWRP main menu and used the 'Format' option to Format the Data and typed 'Yes'
This deleted my Internal Storage so I had to backup everything beforehand.
Then used advanced wipe to wipe Cache and Dalvik.
Mounted the internal storage by using the Mount option from TWRP main menu.
I was having problem copying files to the internal storage so I rebooted TWRP and the problem was fixed.
Copied the OnePlus full update and Magisk zip file.
Installed the OnePlus full update and Wiped Cache and Dalvik and rebooted the device to make sure that the OS boots.
Then rebooted the device to fastboot to flash Codeworkx TWRP again because it was unavailable.
Booted into TWRP and flashed Magisk.
I am now on Oreo and I hate the way Ambient Display looks right now.

I honestly dont see a big difference yet, but only had it for two days. Feels a bit snappier, my signal a bit stronger, and probably an improvement with battery life. I had issues upgrading but then again I flashed the wrong version of magisk. I think the most important thing is the latest android security update.

Hey, thanks.. I will update later today. I see you provided which version of twrp (twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img). But what is the difference between the version you noted and the one I found (twrp-3.2.1-0-oreo-8.0-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img)
I want to make sure I have the correct version.
Thanks again

You can ask that question on the TWRP thread. May be they can answer it correctly. I guessed that twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img was for both Nougat and Oreo and that is why I used it. So, if you want to be sure you should ask that on a TWRP thread.

Hello, I was reviewing the process and just downloaded everything onto my computer and transferred onto my phone but have a few questions regarding some of the steps.
* Rebooted to TWRP and installed the Codeworkx TWRP using the Install->Image option inside TWRP
** Can I update TWRP via the official app and is that version of TWRP okay to use over the "twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img"
* Entered WIPE from TWRP main menu and used the 'Format' option to Format the Data and typed 'Yes' / This deleted my Internal Storage so I had to backup everything beforehand.
** How, what and where did you back up your data? Because later you mentioned "deleted my Internal Storage". I am guessing that because the OP5 does not have an external SD card everything is wiped and the new OS 5.0.1 needs to be saved onto a computer and then re-transferred back onto the phone. I am also guessing that the backup will need to be saved onto a computer as after wiping the phone it would also delete that file too, correct?
* Mounted the internal storage by using the Mount option from TWRP main menu.
** I am assuming that this option after the data wipe is self explanatory?
* I was having problem copying files to the internal storage so I rebooted TWRP and the problem was fixed.
** This is what makes be believe all the files should be on a computer. How did you reboot and when you did, does it go directly / back to TWRP?
* Installed the OnePlus full update and Wiped Cache and Dalvik and rebooted the device to make sure that the OS boots. / Then rebooted the device to fastboot to flash Codeworkx TWRP again because it was unavailable.
** I am guessing here that once OS v8 is installed the TWRP img is no longer on the phone. I would need to transfer the TWRP back onto the phone then re-flash? Could I just install the TWRP official app and flash that way?
Thanks

Yes I am currently rooted. Once I flash the new OS will I still have root access to use the TWRP official app? Is that why after flashing new OS you need to flash TWRP via fastboot?
What about the backing up? I also have full titanium, thanks.

I received the following tip
"Wipe data and then copy the rom full zip flash it boot it to the starting screen then boot to recovery and then flash magisk ,you will see no errors."
But this makes no sense to me.
I have formatted my phone / wiped data / have the full rom & magisk on my "/sdcard" / went to install zip via TWRP, selected the rom and received the error message.
I decided to just go and upgrade via OTA and that failed. My phone has rebooted back to stock
what am i doing wrong?

Boot loop op5 after oos 5.0.1 flash through twrp.

I followed the following steps to flash oos 5.0.1 :
1. Update TWRP to the latest Codeworkx TWRP from the link posted
2. Reboot Recovery and Take a Nandroid of your existing ROM just in case you need it
3. Wipe > Advance Wipe > Select Dalvik & Cache > Swipe to Wipe
4. Install Menu > Select OOS 5.0.1 Full Rom Zip > Swipe to Flash
5. Flash Magisk 15.2 (Recommended for Root)
6. Wipe Dalvik & Cache
7. Reboot Recovery to make sure TWRP stays
8. Reboot System once recovery boots again.
i did this on my op5 rooted and encrypted .
so i followed all the steps precisely but in the end when i tried to boot into system it bootlooped (waited for hours to see if it really takes time on first boot). also when i open file manager in twrp it just shows weird long file names .

Yes I experienced the same thing too. I presume it's a problem with decryption after the update. I had removed all lockscreen security before updating (for nandroid). Maybe it was due to that? Would like someone to elaborate too.

As your device is encrypted so first you need to decrypt it so for that just boot into twrp select wipe and select format data and type yes as it will for format your entire data including internal storage... the most first step is to backup your internal storage in pc and apps through titanium backup and save that in pc and later decrypt it once your device is decrypted just enable MTP in twrp and copy files in storage and flash it.

Here is the simplest one for you

Format data is must required for booting.

I was also rooted and encrypted using 4.5.15 and this is the method I followed and it worked:
Downloaded OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_04d7cc5. zip, twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img and Magisk-v15.3.zip.

Booted into TWRP and flashed Magisk.
I am now on Oreo and I hate the way Ambient Display looks right now.

You said you are on marshnallow.. Detailed step below.
1. Update to the latest nougat firmware using ota. Because lateat firmware is needed for oreo roms. Else you will face tons of bugs and problems.
2. Download recovery from same thread of the oreo rom you are using. Oreo roms need vendor partition, so it needs recovery that supports it.
Download the rom and gapps also.
5. Copy the rom, recovery image and gapps into the memory card. Boot into fastboot mode. Connect to pc. You can boot to fastboot by using command "adb reboot fastboot" without quotes.
4. Unlock the bootloader by connecting to pc via fastboot.(steps to unlock is given in the xda guide section or k6 power.)
5. Boot into twrp recovery image using fastboot. Your phone will reboot to recovery.
6. Using recovery install the recovery image from it by going to "install option" then selecting file type as image and selecting recovery image file.
7. Reboot recovery.
8. Format data to remove encryption. After that you can access internal storage. Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, system, data and internal storage.
9. Flash the rom file. Flash the gapps.
10. Reboot to system from twrp.
If you can understand any steps above you can google. If you cant understand google, then forget about doing it. Because you will eventually break your phone. Give it to someone who knows in that case.

Lol I will not brick my device.I can get back to marshmallow anytime!The only problem I was having before was the device wouldn't show anything(0mb) on internal storage on booting in the ROM.Is this normal.Maybe the ROM is encrypted.On nougat this is not happening on any ROM.Currently Iam on nougat(stock).It shows internal storage only after formatting data but reinstalling the ROM and booting again in recovery it shows 0mb on internal storage.

Reinstalling the rom means it is again getting encrypted. By default encryption is on in stock rom. So you have to format data to break encryption. Otherwise you cant access internal storage. You need latest firmware (nov security patch) for oreo roms.
