Thanks yaar... i want to calm down but unfortunately not able to ;)

No nothing has been done on phone yet..i bought this in Feb-13 and using it as it is..today got an OTA update for 4.3..installed it and phone is stuck at 'X' sign. Contacted LG service center in Noida, they were not able to restore the software as their software did not support the Firmware my phone has..

Contacted Google support, tried to factory reset in Recover mode but nothing changed. They gave me a link to Factory images for Nexus devices and asked me to apply one of them. But i dont know how to do that.
[Nexus 4 General] niraj30518:
try this ..... download that factory image....boot into fastboot mode and flash .....step by step procedure is given here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

u need to unlock bootloader for that....its given in the instruction !!!

[Nexus 4 General] rak21:
Check the location of the file. Is it inside storage/sdcard0/

If not then move the file into anywhere in sdcard0 or into any sub folder in that and check it once again.... Your pc would recognise the folder sdcard0 as internal storage anything in upper directories won't be accessed.

If it is in sdcard0 then I don't what problem the might be

Does doing factory reset from the Recovery delete all my photos and stuff?
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
How did you do that? Any links? Does it backup apps, apps data, contacts, sms etc?
[Nexus 4 General] niraj30518:
doing factory reset will only delete all your app and its data including contacts & messages(sms).....data on your internal memory and memory card won't be affected...In short your pics won't be deleted.

Booting into PA with 4.3 as i write this

Hey!

Here is what you need to do :

1. Download bootloader & radio from https://www.copy.com/s/JniBu/4.3 files (mako)

2. Download GApps from http://download.paranoidandroid.co/roms/gapps/

3. Download ROM from http://download.paranoidandroid.co/roms/mako/

4. Considering you have recovery installed (in case not, you need to do that first)

a. Boot into recovery

b. Wipe data(aka factory reset) & Cache & Dalvik Cache just to be safe

c. Flash Bootloader->Radio->ROM->GApps into order & you are good to go. REBOOT & enjoy!

I did full factory reset after OTA update and reinstalled every app after that but now sometimes the dialer freezes just after the call (or while receiving the call) and the phone restarts randomly. This happened to me today couple of time, though this problem was not there earlier in 4.2. Please help guys what to download fix this problem. I'm in stock, untouched OTA 4.3 rom.

Stuck at 'X' after 4.3

All,

I am stuck here now..nothing is working no hard reset nothing. Wasted a full day at Gaffar Market (new Delhi) but no result.

I am trying to Flash my phone my self. Just have one doubt, is it necessary to have 'USB Debug Option' YES to be able to flash it via

some commands like in

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...3923-guide-nexus-4-factory-image-restore.html

For my phone, it must be NO as i never touched it. So is it necessary?? if yes then can i change it now??

--deepak
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
Yes...USB debugging needs to be on.
[Nexus 4 General] deepakmittal:
Ok..any other workaround for this...??any trick?? if nothing can be done it means my phone is dead?
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
What's wrong with your phone ? R u able to go into the bootloader ?
[Nexus 4 General] Rockstar600:
I faced the same issue, I rooted and flashed LiquidSmooth ROM, was happy with it. But my gut feeling said to stay on stock. So, I flashed 4.3 via MSkip's Toolkit.

I had drivers installed on my PC and USB debugging was on. After a flash my N4 was in a bootloop. I reflashed factory image and the phone was working.

Quick question: Are you able to go into the fastboot mode?
[Nexus 4 General] deepakmittal:
yea..i am able to go into bootloader but not able to start the phone in Recovery Mode. It stucks at 'X' sign.
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
Do you know fastboot commands ? If yes, do

1. Fastboot devices ( you should see your device online on cmd screen)

2. fasboot erase recovery

3. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (extract the recovery img from the stock firmware)
[Nexus 4 General] deepakmittal:
Sorry for being so dumb but what is fastboot mode?
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
Bootloader mode is the fastboot mode
[Nexus 4 General] Rockstar600:
Fastboot, Bootloader, one at the same,

You can try downloading MSkip's toolkit, and Install the drivers in your PC,

Do this first and let me know, also download the 4.3 Factory Image.

Edit: Let me know your GMail ID, I will send you a message there.

Lets try somehow to recover your phone if the toolkit recognizes your device.
[Nexus 4 General] deepakmittal:
I have not tried this as my phone is with my friend who is in Samsung..but my question is If USB debugging is not ON for my phone and i connect it to my PC via USB, will fastboot devices command will detect it?
[Nexus 4 General] Rockstar600:
You can always give it a try!

Why not?
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks! I had seen that thread but have not tried as "Keep in mind this is experimental and not exactly publicized as a feature of ICS, so don't count on this as your only method of backup!" was mentioned in the OP :(

But I shall try that now :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] Sathish kumar:
Please do the below steps: [This is for guys who are stuck up in X boot animation]

1. Switch off mobile.

3. Tap volume up button once which will take you to default recovery.

4. Wipe cache.

5. Factory reset.

Anyone on the latest PA? Thinking of flashing custom 4.3 now. Enough of stock. Which rom do you people recommend?
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
slim bean it has everything :

rom: http://tinyw.in/LCxI

temporary 4.3 slim gapps: http://tinyw.in/1nFO

(4.3 libs with non-updated 4.2.2 apk's -

the new apk's will be released with last 4.2.2 build)
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Yes. Debugging needs to be on only when I using adb and that too inside the os.

abd will work without ticking that option in recovery mode.

fastboot will work as long as you are in fastboot mode. No need for any setting to be enabled in OS as fastboot is outside the OS. Infact it's used to boot the OS.

After using gadgetshield screen guard for one month I found that the screen guard slides over screen if i apply tangential force (also when I clean the surface). Not good screen guard. Earphone looks awesome but sound quality is not great, none of the earbuds fits well. Nexus 4 looks ordinary with bumper. So want to remove bumper but I don't have any leather pouch.

Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your Android device even more responsive by boosting your device’s CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don’t need it to improve battery life.

In the first one you can see, the whites are not yellowish, in-fact whiter than the nexus,

the back glass effect is very subtle and nice.

the bumper case fits in perfectly too, even though its takes a away some class, its pretty nice.

So far no issues what so ever, loving it :)

Speakers are pretty descent, not great not bad. But there no ear phones in the box

[Nexus 4 General] aa10:
My first post on XDA...

I'm going to buy a new phone in a few days and I have almost decided on the Nexus 4 but there's one problem - I tend to drop my phone a lot (I currently have the Samsung Wave 2 and in the last 2 years I have dropped it around 100-120 times but the build quality of Wave 2 is so good that the screen is still perfect and there are hardly any scratches). So I've been looking for a good case which will offer complete protection but most of the cases available in India seem to offer only moderate protection against scratches etc.

Here are some cases which do look a bit better:

Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for LG Nexus 4 - Retail Pack - available in ebay.in

Seidio Surface Case for Google Nexus 4 - Black - available in mobilefun.in

Google 4 Nexus Ringke Fusion Premium Hybrid Hard Case Cover Eco Pac-WMP- available in ebay.in - this one obviously is the best looking because the back is visible but I don't think it offers much protection.

Rearth Ringke SLIM for LG Google Nexus 4 SF Premium Hard Case (Grey) - available in ebay.in

Are any of the above cases good? Are there are any other good options available in India?
[Nexus 4 General] NaaneKanasu:
There are many others which offer much more protection, but they destroy the bling factor of N4 back. I just ordered an OEM Google Bumper and Gadget Shieldz full body Screen Guard.

Guess, we have to be careful when we have spent this much ;)
[Nexus 4 General] aa10:
can you please give links to some of the other cases which are you talking about? I drop my phone often so I am willing to compromise on the bling factor being destroyed by a good case. From what I've read, the OEM bumper protects only from scratches or if you drop the phone from a very small height...

thats why I'm willing to spent some more to get a good cover :D

Edit - just looked at the Ballistic SG. This one does look absolutely right for my need. It would make the phone look a bit bulky but I guess thats the price I have to pay for my habit of dropping my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Lacshay:
I have got mybat tuff case for drop protection...its great...already dropped once...and nexus is scratch free :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] aa10:
this does look nice. It also looks less bulky than the Ballistic SG. I will definitely consider this.

For tough cases, I am using a Boxwave Resolute OA3 knockoff from AliExpress. It does ruin the look of the phone, but, I would rather have the phone protected in case of an accidental fall than ruin it.

http://www.ebay.in/itm/BoxWave-Reso...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item35c9f467e1

I got the knockoff from AliExpress for US$5.51 (Then 325 INR), and it was delivered in 27 days. I couldn't be happier for what I paid for it.
