[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RWTX:
I had broken the screen on the Nexus 4 and after a daylong nightmare of pursuading LG and Google that my phone should be repaired in my native USA rather than Australia (the phone I got from Google had a model number for the international market rather than the US market), they finally let me send it in to a US facility to get it repaired. I now received the phone back with the screen repaired (took exactly 14 days and $140).

But when I start the phone it goes into a strange debug screen. After pressing the power button for a some time I get to another, more standard looking screen. But the buttons on the bottom are completely missing (no home, return, or widgets buttons). From there I can only access the settings widget in the top right corner of the screen. When I go into settings I get the following info:

Model Number: Full Jellybean on Mako

Android version: 4.2

Build number:

full_mako-userdebug 4.2 LGEP19

eng.seungju24.choi.20121114.105751 test-keys

Also lots of debug apps seem to be installed, although I have not managed to get to the main screen to actually execute anything.

It seems that LG has replaced the standard OS with another (maybe debug or testing) build that does not work properly on the final consumer

product.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I am concerned that if I try to deal with LG I will be without a phone for another 2 weeks, and based on the

experiences so far I am not convinced that I will not have any further problems.

Thanks!

I would suggest you download the factory android 4.2.1 image and flash that. That way you'll have your android os setup like brand new.

1. The firmware(s) can be found on this page :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1745781

2. Instructions on how to flash stuff to and on your phone can be found anywhere, but I prefer to use this for it's simplicity and step by step instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

On the screenshot posted by the OP, you can also see the option to flash stock. It's pretty easy to do if you follow the instructions. Also make sure you follow the driver installation procedure in the program.

I fail to see how this is "gold"? Yes it is the ICS boot animation, and possibly a different baseband, but what exactly would this achieve? We already have the easiest phone to bootloader unlock and root, what good does this do? I can see if maybe this was an HTC phone that was S-Off with an ENG hboot it would be valuable for S-Off.. but it's not..

(sorry if my english is bad or if it's answered, but i have tried many things and the tablet remains stucked)

OK, i had CM10 + CMW (now i feel dumb for not have flashed TWRP) and wanted to update to last CM10's nightlie, so i did the typical process (clear dalvik cache > flash .zip) and when i rebooted, my tab just didn't pass the ASUS screen.

I tried flashing a boot.blob (via Fastboot) file from another nightlie, but did nothing.

I flashed TWRP too (via Fastboot), but it doesn't show up when i try to enter in recovery. Neither CMW do. It just reboots.

So, to recap, i have access to Fastboot but no to recovery. At least ASUS boot's screen is pretty cool, haha.

Thanks for reading.

EDIT:

My tablet is now ok

, i thought i had JB's bootloader but i hadn't, so flashing ICS TWRP worked to boot again (i put a nightlie from octuber 24 and flashed it)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldDogEyes:
I am wondering if I have a BAD Sim card...

I ordered a T-Mobile Sim from Straight Talk for my Nexus 4 and what they sent was a mini-sim... I need a Micro Sim.

I carefully cut it and it fits... I didn't cut any of the gold area.

When I try to create an APN it won't save it...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparta507:
Turn off and on the phone at it will show up when you turn it on again... Trust me
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danTM:
List to him ^

Wowzers. I was too lazy to cut my own sim into a micro sim. I called up t mobile, and they said they don't cut them. Called some sketchy wireless mobile repair store near me, bargained them down from $10 to $5 pretty easily. He mentioned the tool was for cutting iphone 4s microsims, but I told him it was not device specific (and was correct). He cut it in a matter of seconds. He gave me the old sim card exterior to use as an adapter - no need to order one from amazon. The cut wasn't the cleanest, there a minor lip on one of the edges (this is only painful when trying to use your ghetto-rigged microsim skeleton adapter, fits perfectly fine into the LG Nexus 4 ).

Thought I had conquered the beast. Went home to look up my apn settings specific to Tmobile. Luckily XDA had that covered. By the way, if you are fresh new to 4.2 like I was, you have to bring the Settings screen down with 2 fingers. I tried to enter the apn settings and then save... nothing would save! I tried resetting to default (the phone came unlocked with no apn settings, gotta try every solution once just to make sure it doesn't work ;) ). Googled the problem. Everyone was convinced that the solution was to hit "back" or "home", neither of which worked for me. I downloaded an app called Gigagiffapn, which apparently would have solved my problem only if I had an Android version less than 4. No luck.

Stuck my sim back into my "adapater" and plugged into my nokia phone. Had to check if the sim card was damaged, as I hadn't made a call since the cut. It worked. Stuck sim back into Nexus 4. Voila! Rebooted with 3 of the different apn settings I provided, and it automatically selected one of the correct ones.

Then I found this article, and you're saying "... Trust me." I'm assuming you went through the pain somewhat similar to me, minus perhaps fearing a damaged sim card.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ceacea25:
Hello,

Today I used HTC's sponsored method to unlock the bootloader. My hope was to load CM7 onto my phone. I did something wrong and now the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen just loops.

My phone is NOT rooted. I can still access the HBOOT menu though and connect it to my computer.

I am also able to run CWM recovery v6.0.1.1.

Is my phone bricked or can I still load a stock image/custom image?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
If you can get to the hboot menu, you aren't bricked yet. Did you flash the kernel? If you htcdev unlocked, you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip, boot into the bootloader and run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from a command prompt/terminal on your computer.

Last night, I became interested in editing scripts.

Initially, I wanted to translate an AROMA installer, but it didn't work.

Soon, I will want to edit scripts, but not only translating, I want to edit scripts in a more advanced level.

Let me clarify. I'm talking about ROM scripts (update-script, updater-script, config scripts (for example, aroma config script)), and another scripts related to that.

So, I made this thread for asking you these things:

1) Where are scripts from? I want to know what is the program that creates they and how to create they.

2) What program do I have to use for editing scripts? I thought I can use Notepad or WordPad, maybe I was wrong.

3) What do I have to know about the format, characters (unsupported characters, for example), etc.? Please tell me all the minimal details that I have to know to avoid failures.

Well, sorry for my bad English, I am Argentinian :p

I'll be waiting for your answers.

Thanks in advance! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] speed_bot:
Well we have two kinds for the major part

Meta inf and init .D

Meta inf says the system to copy x file to the required location on its corresponding partitions. The init scripts load up during boot time it's used to set some values which needs to be set on boot like a ram freeing init script would enable lowoom kill its just programmed to do the required stuff on boot... Well for editing use notepad pp its a cross platform and hence the best

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Geraaaaa:
Yes, I was talking about META-INF scripts :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] speed_bot:
there isnt much of a scope to meta inf just take the meta inf from any rom use notepad++ try understanding the code its human readable only..

getting a replacement soon (screen)... can I just root it, install cwm, and restore a nandroid backup from my current phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Absolutely!

In fact, I customized the heck out of a Galaxy Skyrocket ROM and did a nandroid and restored it to my buddies Galaxy Hercules! :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ77:
awesome. loving this thing now that I got my beans all sorted out, don't really want to rebuild.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
I would definitely do a copy/paste of ALL contents of your internal and external SD cards also. Just copy them onto a folder on your computer. And then restore the nandroid. Then copy all the contents from the computer folder back onto the phone. Replacing as you go.

Nandroids are just not fool-proof recovery, IMO. They don't restore EVERYTHING from your internal SD card.

And also a titanium backup (including cache) of all user apps, just in case things go wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mar5hal:
I don't think it will work like that. It doesn't for CDMA phones anyway I can say that for sure. For example I did it for a buddy if mine with his droid incredible. Restored his old meid (in gsms case the imei ) on top of the new one. Replacing it so to say so down the road even if it was operational I'm sure it would cause you problems down the road.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ77:
of course.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ77:
interesting. I've read on several threads in the various S3 forums that for those who have lost their IMEI by flashing ROMs, restoring a nandroid backup does NOT restore the IMEI.

regardless, I will do a nandroid of the stock setup before restoring from my backup.

Does anyone have the Spigen dual side screen protector with the play store Nexus 4 Bumper?

If you do- How does it fit and would you recommend it because I'm looking at possibly getting this combo.

I could save $15 and get a poetic bumper for $5 instead of the $20 play store one. The only thing is I prefer the look of the play store one.

I can also get the play store one for much cheaper later on.

I was also thinking of getting the Poetic Atmosphere because it looks so nice on the iPhone 5 an the Spigen (just front) screen protector.

But maybe I'll just get them both and decide for myself.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kcbboy:
I have the spigen dual ordered. Should be here next week. I have the bumper already but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. I'm not liking how it makes the phone feel. The bumper is not as slim as I thought.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] illmaticone:
I have this exact combo - simply perfect.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Any picture would be great
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jdavet:
I have the combo as well and I wouldn't necessarily call it perfect, though I like the combo. I think the front protector doesn't cover enough of the sides, so there is a gap between the bumper and the protector... You can feel it when swiping from the edges (ex: when switching between tabs in Chrome).

I think a better case / protector combo is the Spigen with Diztronic... The case covers enough of the sides so there is barely a gap on the sides.

Anyways, since I prefer the bumper, I'll wait for the Phantom tempered glass protector and hope that the fit will be nicer.

I'll try to post a few pics tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mb3030:
I have the same combo and like others have mentioned I don't like that the front protector does not go edge to edge on the screen, but it was expected. I don't like wet application ones so I'll just suck it up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] naruses:
I would love to know if there are any other Dry Application Screen Protectors that cover the N4 Screen Completely?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fluffenforliberty:
Spigen released some dry application ones for the Galaxy S3 that covered the whole screen (which has curved edges) so we just have to wait!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frusso21:
Spigen has made curved glass protectors before (for the gs3) but the reviews for that particular protector are terrible.

The hardness is half that of the current N4 one they have.

Can somebody please post a picture of the combo.

And has anybody dropped their phone? Any stories about the combo?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jdavet:
Here you go (also showing my first attempt at snapseed haha). The protector just barely reaches to where the screen begins to curve down on the sides. The back is near perfect luckily. Let me know if you need to see any additional pictures.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
FYI, the ZAGG ones work flawlessly with the official bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
While the novelty of the Spigen Curved Crystal protectors is nice, they are incredibly easy to scratch it seems. I have a coworker that got the Curved Crystal protectors for her GS3, and she was disappointed at how easily they got visible hairline scratches. The first one she was rough with, but the 2nd one she took care to keep covered with the official GS3 book-like case that has a front flap, and it somehow still managed to get scratched.

I really think that if you want to cover the whole glass on the Nexus 4, you pretty much have to go with a wet apply. I'm almost a mandatory dry apply person, but I must say, it really makes it look as if you cheaped out on the screen protector to anybody else that looks at your phone. The bumper only accentuates this visual problem. Personally I'm cursing LG and Google for even doing this to the screen, it seems utterly gimmicky, pointless, and makes it absolute hell to get a good smooth dry apply screen protector on the phone. I find myself actually avoiding using the sloped edge because I run right into the edge of my dry screen protector. I usually start my swipes right at the edge of the screen protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frusso21:
What is the difference between dry and wet application in terms of the screen's curve.

Correct me if I'm wrong but what I take you're saying is that wet application screen protectors will cover the entire (curved)N4 screen as dry ones won't (or if they do they won't be too good)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
I don't actually have a wet apply protector myself, but I ordered a Best Skin's Ever full body set that should be delivered sometime next week, along with a Spigen Dual set. From reading up on them though, it seems like all of the wet apply ones do actually cover the entire glass, which would make sense as they're totally floppy and flexible during the installation phase. The tough part, even with those, seems to be getting them to cure and stick permanently to the curved glass.

I think I'll give the BSE a try and see how it goes before the Spigen, based on some people's comments that the BSE seems smoother than other brands of wet applies. I typically really hate the rubbery drag that the wet applies have.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] F0rgiven:
Is it just me or does the bumper look green in those pictures?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jdavet:
I think I put a little too much contrast in it... I wish I could tell you that I have a special edition bumper or something, but I don't. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
Spigen told me they are not going to release any dry application screen protector that covers the whole screen:/
