[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
no dont use a toolkit. OP doesnt seem to be knowing what he was in doing in a first place, take the time and learn what you're doing and using a toolkit is certainly not going to help you learn it either.

also stop using the term BRICK when your phone isnt BRICKED.

definition of a BRICKED phone is a phone that CANNOT get into bootloader mode / recovery mode / download mode.

did you not read, problem solved. /close thread and i idk what you're talking because i was not even trying to flash any roms in the first place, i all i did was just use CWM to do factory settings and cleared dalvik cache and suddenly it just got stuck when i rebooted it. i only flashed rom AFTER the problem occur to to make it boot again

delete thread please. thanks for help all! /CLOSE THREAD
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
doesn't matter if it's solved. that's why threads like this (or any threads) are never deleted.

people use search and if they have the same problem as yourself, they find the solution in the thread so they don't have to make the same thread on the same issue when it was resolved.

if someone was to read,

they could get a toolkit. which is a solution to the problem, but not a very wise one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Actually the OP is "bricked."

Just soft bricked, which usually means a bootloop or similar.

What you are defining is a hard brick.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinjin12:
closing thread is not the same as deleting. closed thread can still be read or searched, just people can't post anymore

/close thread please
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinjin12:
nice sarcasm, if i didn't read it carefully, i would have thought you were serious, good one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellydroid13:
You still dont want to close the thread because what if a noob doesnt understand something hear and needs to ask something related to this issue. Thats why these threads always remain open.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinjin12:
most people open new threads anyway cause if this thread is old, no one will bother bumping old threads. most people open new threads cause it gets there questions answered faster. posting a questions a the 5th page of an old thread won't get as much attention as opening a new thread.

any i'm going un sub this thread now :D

thanks all for the help!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Soft brick isn't BRICKED. The definition of a bricked device (as I said previously) is a phone that is in a non-bootable state towards recovery mode / bootloader mode / download mode. Just because your phone doesn't boot in Android OS doesn't mean your phone is a brick.

What is a brick? Something that does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. A phone that can get into bootloader mode to fix itself isn't a brick, a brick has no point of return. It is a dead end and is absolutely done.

So yes you are right on that point but clearly as the OP's thread title,

"LOL i'm bricked? what to do now"

... notice how he didn't say LOL im soft bricked? So I was right on that. So please stop quoting me for the sake of it because you have a personal vendetta against me because of your speedtest app thread. If you have a personal problem, PM me. Don't try and annoy me (as well as other users) quoting me for the sake of doing it.

Thank you for forum 101, I had no idea that closing thread isn't the same! But yet I have 6000+ posts. Depending on what forum it is, some forums delete threads that are solved specifically in a Q&A or support threads. Admins/mods never really close threads unless unnecssary drama occurs. It's a ongoing thing that has been going on XDA. Because someone may have the same problem and is in the unique position where they didn't understand the solution and wants to add his question onto it.

So the existing solution is there, but he wants a question answered. A new poster can look at it and reply back or elaborate or what I (or any other user had to say) if he didn't understand as there are foreign people here whos english isn't their primary language.

Old thread? I see people bumping 6+ month threads on this forum all the time.

Bro c'mon... thats not brick...

THIS IS A BRICK (OR BROKEN, IDK :crying:) N4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
I don't hold grudges against the person. In debate, we call this rejecting the argument and not the team. I may dislike your posts, but I do not dislike you. In fact, I don't remember you. All I remember is some monk guy getting pissed at me

We are getting into technicals here, but yes a soft brick is still a brick. On Wikipedia, I quote " However, another use of the term "bricked" is understood to describe a situation where a device is unable to function even when the device does have potential to be recovered later to a working state. In this sense, the damage may be reversible; it is only during the period that it's unable to function that the device is deemed "bricked". This is often referred to as a "soft brick" whereas an unrecoverable device is a "hard brick"."
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Monk guy? Um, don't know how you came to that conclusion at all.

A soft brick is not a brick. A soft brick can be returned to a bootable state. The OP is getting it wrong by calling his phone a brick when it isn't a brick because he is able to go into recovery mode. There's a difference between soft brick and brick, OP didn't say soft brick. So my point stands on him calling his phone a 'brick' when he isn't. Therefore, he is using the terminology wrong. It's basic English, I don't know how it can be any more simplier than that.

It's a soft brick, not a brick. OP called his phone a brick in OP thread title. You trying to say that I'm wrong here? hmmmmmmmmmm

Either way. OP solved problem grats. have problems? message me dont reply back to keep bumping this thread.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenthechen:
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't factory reset wipe everything? Including system, which is required for booting into the ROM? Seems like OP effectively had a romless phone which probably why it couldn't go further than the logo. All he had to do was flash a ROM no? :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3m0x:
Guys , if there is a NEXUS 4 BRICKED, ITS MINE!!

Please help me guys. I dont know what to do/ :(:(

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077331
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Pretty much OP all he needed to do was

- get back into recovery

- wipe factory/dalvik/cache

- flash rom

- flash gapps (depending on rom)

- flash kernel (optional)

.... that's all.

if you wipe factory after rom, you did the sequence wrong and yeah.. it probably won't boot.

[Droid RAZR M General] simpledave:
Safetrap 3.05 is awesome and hashcode will release a new version 3.1 with flashing to Stock ROM soon for Razr M, this is a very important update since the complicity of Additional slot and Image files would eat up space for apps, most the apps will be installed into Image drive, but some of them, ( like games, heavy apps which requires additional data ) are not able to be installed since doesn't have enough space in Image as well as outside. So this is my trick to Flash Custom ROM directly to Stock slot. even CM10, BHD, and so on...

Step 1: Use stock ROM to install Safetrap as normal.

Step 2: Go to safestrap, create 1Gb drive and install your favourite ROM, and flash all additional package you like (Beat, Dolby, GAPP etc... )

Step 3: Boot into that ROM and make changes as you want

Step 4: Make a backup of that ROM

Step 5: Change Boot option to Stock

Step 6: RESTORE ( not Install since Install function was not invented yet on Safetrap 3.05) and restore your backup directly to stock ROM

Step 7: Install Safetrap again

Step 8: PROFIT

I haven't neither tested with all ROM nor running through a day, but it's works for now with BHD ROM. This can be awesome method before new Safetrap released.

Hope u enjoy it.

Dave
[Droid RAZR M General] jtommyj:
Thanks much !! Confirmed on BDH v2
[Droid RAZR M General] cfitz0812:
Help please

So I've installed Safestrap 3.0, have downloaded simplex rom. I created a ROM slot 2GB slot. When I go to install the ROM it merely opens the folder rather than prompting the install. Any idea as to what is going wrong?
[Droid RAZR M General] simpledave:
Did you choose the zip file?
[Droid RAZR M General] Germanese:
I would use the exact version as OP.

Did you use 3.0.5 ?
[Droid RAZR M General] simpledave:
yes. 3.05 ;)... Running so good with outstanding battery life now.. :)
[Droid RAZR M General] Germanese:
So u flashed Slot 2 with Custom rom, made a back up of it.

Then Restored Slot 1 with back up of Slot 2.

Making the phone run Custom Rom in Slot 1

The question is Is slot 2 still there ?

And how do you get it back to stock if messing up ? Do you just RSD it back to Stock ?
[Droid RAZR M General] simpledave:
No you delete slot 2 before restore ( u already have the backup in the sd card ) .. if you messing up, you can always use fastboot RSD to reinstall stock rom. Easy.

[Droid RAZR M General] JOLiu:
I used RSD Lite to flash the stock ROM (Jellybean); however, after the phone rebooted, it has been stuck at the glowing red eye screen. I will try fastbooting and flashing the ICS stock ROM instead, and then updating the OS, but does anyone know why this occurs? I did try to fastboot and re-flash the JB 2x with the same result.
[Droid RAZR M General] colbyman:
I know I'm 2 1/2 months late to this party, but I've had the same issue. Trying to restore CM10 to my stock slot from slot 1, and I get to the red eye and it hangs.

To restore to working order, had to go into quick boot and flash ICS stock and then JB stock (going straight to JB stock left it hanging at red eye again). Then restored my backup to slot 1 to get back to where I started.

Anybody know how to get around this? Thanks.
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
If I restore CM10 on stock slot, then activate stock slot, it loops on the safe strap screen.

Also note that you cannot get into recovery (or boot into any other slot) until you RSD back to stock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themantia98:
So on my tab i was running AOKP ICS and got stuck in a bootloop on the unicorn screen. After reading around i decided it would be best to just odin back to stock and unroot. After watching the video and reading up i downloaded the files and while in the process, odin said" PASS" and all looked good until my tab was in recovery mode trying to finish the process. The tab keeps getting stuck at the "copying Common APKS" part of the transfer and just keeps restarting and trying to "copying common APKS" manually. i really have no idea what to do at this point and just want to be able to use my tab..

Can someone please help me out here....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech2T:
tablet stuck on "copying common apks"

Hi...Did you find a fix for this?

Sorry for not posting a solution here but I'm in the same predicament as you

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Updating Application...

Copying 'XEU' apk.

Copying Common Apks.

Then goes to load screen then just goes to the manual mode screen again. Tried flashing a stock rom with odin but the same thing happens over and over.

Did you find a solution?

Btw I'm using samsung galaxy tab 10.1 p7510 had the aokp jelly bean rom before i tried to flash it back to stock rom with odin

I'm assuming its soft bricked considering I can get in to download mode but no recovery so there has to be something i can flash to it via odin to get it back to stock...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech2T:
Always backup or always have a stock rom ready

OK one thing I hate about forums is... people get in to sticky situations and beg for people to find them a solution but if no one has one they abandon the post even if they find a solution themselves they don't bother to edit the post and mention if they got out of the mess or not....

I don't want to jump on the band wagon there.

I did manage to unbrick my soft bricked tab even though I couldn't go back in to recovery. The downloading screen is a life saver if you can access that there is hope yet.

All you need to do is go to your manufacturers website see if they have a firmware or better yet just search google for the stock rom of your device and flash it back and you should be good to go. If possible try and make sure the firmware you flash to restore is legit. The one I flashed over and over didn't even though I've used it before I downloaded a different one though and hey presto.

I hope that helps anyone who's sweating like mad rubbing their forehead thinking they just f**ked £600 down the drain scouring google's database in search of a solution.

Have a nice day

Hi all

I can't seem to figure this out

I passed down my gnex to the wife as I got a n4

Now when i had it there were no issues of random reboots

I have cm10 nightly loaded on it with the cm kernel and its getting random reboots

I cannot find out what it is... I have tried different kernels and still the same issue... I have tried diff ROMs. I tried fitsnugly cm10 and same issue,,.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do... I've tried everything I can think of

Its random as in it happens sometimes when she is browsing or it will jut be sitting on on the table and then reboot without anyone touching it...

Ugh. Help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LiquidXed:
I would put the last stable release on there, unless u don't mind working on her phone..

Do u format system in recovery when u install and new ROM?

Or maybe install ur nandroid backup and c if that works
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Yup

I did a full wipe in recovery before giving it to her.

Actually what had happened is I wiped everything including SD card and it wouldn't boot so i restored to stock via Odin and toolkit. Then started from scratch. Installed fitsnugly ROM etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Try a different ROM away from cm. Like aokp or paranoid and see if u have the same issues on those.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LiquidXed:
A full wipe doesn't format system.. U need to go into where u can mount the partitions and format the system partition.. Its worth a shot.. And I'd do a nandroid restore and leave it stock, from my experience my wifey doesn't know how to use any of the extra mods that come with the ROMs anyways, and its just a disaster waiting to happen... But that's just me :D

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

What kernel u running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Well wouldn't restoring stock with Odin wipe literally everything? Including partition?

And the current ROM and kernel is stock cm10.1

So whatever the latest nightly is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LiquidXed:
Not sure if it does.. I don't use Odin.. If u do a nandroid restore and see if its still doing random reboots ull know if its a hw problem or ROM/kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
I'll give that a try if she gets more reboots.

Most stable overclockable kernel I've tried so far is the matrix kernel. You can download the latest version (v24.5) in the official thread here.

If you already have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, you won't loose any apps or data as long as you don't wipe anything in recovery before flashing. Good luck! :)

[Nexus 4 General] gagdude:
How does removing the glittery pattern make the glass more durable on the back? If I recall, the pattern is under the glass. So if they just removed what was under the glass, isn't it still the same glass?

Btw, if anyone has gotten one without the design, Id like to see some pics please. Just curious, want more than the one in the OP

No space in between the back and the glass. So I presume that the plastic can sit flushed against the back glass pane to provide more strength?

From the devices I have seen, personally, I love the original back and would almost rather not have one if it did not have the back.

Call me crazy but from the first time I saw it, I wanted nothing more than to have the phone in a bumper case and show it off with pride.

I guess I will just wait to see what style of back others get that ordered the same time I did and decide if I want to sell it.
