it work for not more than 1 min and restart again to the startup screen that apper after reset the device to its original state.

i tried flash it and flashing finish ok , upgrading main , extended rom and radio stack but the same problem exist

anyone know what is that please !!!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
Are you sure you are sliding the little red slide/switch inside the battery compartment back into place when you change the battery? This slide switches between backup battery and main battery. It sounds to me like you are running for about 1 min. on the backup battery, then it drains and your device resets.

Is the red switch correctly moved toward the battery?

If so, try jiggling that switch to see if maybe it is not making good contact.

HTH!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mak_us1977:
thanks for replay

the sw is ok coz if i set it to unlock possion mobile not power on and the red light on

but if i put the battry and lock the key it work in the charger not more than 1 min at all and restart again .

i upgraded its sw and it finish without any problem but still the same

please help
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hbahaie:
If your imate is not new, try to clean the battery contacts with soft tissue and may be some alcohol, may be there is some grease. Also check for the

status of contact pins.

Also, as u tried the battery with other imate, what about urs with the other battery???

Pls tell me why there is no lulzactive governor available in any custom kernel for HTC One?

I think that default ondemand is too power-hungry governor, and powersave is way to slow. Lulzactive would be the best balanced governor, but it is not available. Why? Nobody needs it? Or it is not possible to port that governor to HTC One?

Is there anyway to easily extend an audio notification or make it repeat without downloading a spam filled app? Obviously you should be able to copy a longer audio file to the notification folder but it still only plays the first few seconds of the file.

[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
Download Bootloader & Radio flash-able zips

Connect your device to the PC via USB cable and transfer the two downloaded files.

Reboot Into Recovery Mode

Flash the Bootloader zip

Reboot the recovery

Flash the Radio zip

Reboot recovery again

Now flash the ROM,GApps and so on.

Yes you can use Chainfire's Supersu zip and flash it to get the root on 4.3(v1.51 latest) and then can flash any 4.2.2 cutsom rom. :)

You can also try Slim bean 4.3, really stable and smooth. :)

Hi all,

Just tried like explained by the OP and performed the following steps :

Unlock Bootloader

Install Custom Recovery

Then I rebooted, Google logo appears for 1 or 2min and then appears the X logo of Nexus but it doesn't seem to go any further.

So I wiped cache/Darvik cache but same thing.

So wiped data but still the same issue.

I'm also having a hard time to access bootloader (have to hold power button and tap volume up, then flash CWMR "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.5-mako.img" and I can access bootloader/recovery).

=> access to bootloader OK actually. Tried an older version of CWMR (I was on 6.0.3.5 and tried 6.0.3.1) but still... :(

Any idea of what I could do?

Thanks in advance, :)

Android 4.3

Hey, I was just wondering if this method works for android 4.3? I'm about to dive into the tutorial but don't want to experience any problem along the way due to the fact I'm running android 4.3. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] spaceman860:
Yes. This is always going to be the way to root a nexus no matter the version. Just make sure you have the newest SU zip

From my BLACKED OUT N4
[Nexus 4 General] Icarus92:
Ok, so I installed the TeamWin custom recovery, and rebooted into recovery by selecting recovery mode. I am now in Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.0.0. What now? I have a whole bunch of options like Install, Wipe, Backup, Restore, Mount, Settings, Advanced and Reboot. The tutorial didn't tell us what to do next it just went onto the next point ie Rooting.

I'm sorry I am so noob, I just really want to get into custom roms. Thanks for the previous speedy reply.
[Nexus 4 General] Chromium:
If you want a custom ROM you don't need to bother with rooting, as most of them are already rooted.

You need to move a ROM onto your phone, go into the wipe menu and swipe to factory reset, and finally go to install and choose the rom zip that you downloaded earlier.
[Nexus 4 General] Icarus92:
Ah okay awesome. Thanks for the quick reply again.

One more thing, sorry if I'm annoying you with these noob questions, but in the tutorial it tells me to download GApps. I'm downloading paranoid android 3.94-20130806. My question is, what exactly are GApps, and where could I find them for the Rom I'm installing? Is it even Rom specific or can a just download a generic GApps?

Thanks for all the help so far :)
[Nexus 4 General] Chromium:
Gapps are the Google apps like the play store, g+, currents, play music, etc...

They are proprietary so they are not included in most ROMs, hence why you need to flash them separately.

I personally always use the PA gapps no matter which ROM I'm using as they are the most often updated. Gapps are usually not ROM specific, but you should use ones that are compatible with your android version. This means that you may have issues using the pa 3.94 (android 4.3) gapps on a 4.2 ROM. Another good gapps package is the one by banks. They are slimmed down to about 15mb and only contain the essential stuff.

stuck in boot loop

I have 4.3 installed. The phone's storage is also encrypted.

Unlocked the bootloader and installed

http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.5-mako.img

Then I immediately booted into recovery and wiped the cache per instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41291371&postcount=28&nocache=1&z=9317380059510470

The I chose to reboot in recovery.

1) I was prompted with a warning that old recovery may be flashed and if I wanted to fix it - I replied "yes".

2) I was then prompted that root wasn't detected and if I wanted to root - I replied "yes"

now I'm stuck on a boot animation screen for 20 minutes. I don't get the decrypt storage prompt like I used to get during boot. I tried rebooting and wiping cache again, that didn't help. Tried wiping dalvik-cache but that didn't seem to work. Any suggestions? I would rather not do a factory reset if I don't have to.

Update:

I took the plunge and did a factory reset. Still hung on the boot screen :((
[Nexus 4 General] Torethyr:
Same thing happened to me. Note to self--avoid the CWM rooting option. I'm looking for a way to revert through adb sideload. I did a factory reset in CWM (as well as wiping caches) and it didn't help.
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
Weird. Using stock?
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
Oh wait, you used the option to root via recovery I guess.

First of all, go to bootloader mode and flash a new recovery image via fastboot command. Try this, its an amazing recovery that I would recommend always: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860

After that, boot into recovery mode, and flash the latest SuperSU zip via sideload.

Wipe cache and Dalvik-cache

Reboot
[Nexus 4 General] Noyabronok:
I loaded the recovery you recommended but it didn't help. Tried side loading but adb doesn't see the device.

HERE'S WHAT WORKED!

I went here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam

and downloaded the stock 4.3 images. Unzipped them files (there are 2 compression layers). Then I went into fastboot on the phone. From command prompt I ran "flash-all.bat" and the phone was able to quickly boot up after the flashing was done.
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
So actually you flashed the factory image. That was something that I would normally recommend at the last :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] kr33p0:
I have a different problem. I rooted successfully but something must have gone wrong with installing TWRP recovery as now if I try to boot into recovery mode I get a lying down droid with a red triangle above him. Lucky everything else works but now I can't flash anything as recovery mode doesn't work. Any ideas how to fix that?
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
Your Custom Recovery here is either damaged or overwritten by the stock recovery. Its simple, you have the ROM + Root, you now need to flash the recovery again.

Just re-flash the recovery using the same guide.
[Nexus 4 General] Noyabronok:
The only thing that fixed it for me was to flash the stock ROM, as I described in my last post. I think it would be wise to update the OP instruction warning people to NOT AGREE to the 2 CWM Recovery prompts for fixing recovery and rooting.
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
Surely be added.

Kindly note for future reference, do not just flash the Factory Image. No offence please but you made a haste to flash, while it was a simple corrupted su binary issue. Again, no offence, its just the way I feel because I want people to learn rather than just keep following the same. :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] kr33p0:
So you are saying I can fix the recovery mode without fully restoring to the factory ROM? My TRWM recovery mode is messed up too, I get the red triangle if I try to enter into recovery mode from fast boot or flash anything, but everthing else works, can I simply fix the recovery mode or get the original one back without flashing the whole Factory ROM and having to root again? If so can you please tell me how or which thread to find instructions in. TX a ton!!

(edit) got directed here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2266654&page=21 so will test it and tell you how it goes.
[Nexus 4 General] Torethyr:
My internet actually went out about 40 seconds after making my my post so I never got to come back and keep contributing.

But, I got it working. I didn't flash the factory images. I notices that the Factory Restore in CWM was going way too fast to truly be wiping data (also the option to wipe dalvik never brought up its confirmation screen so I assumed it wasn't doing anything) so I tried doing it through adb. Simple command,

fastboot -w

That wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Got me booting. Now on ParanoidAndroid.

I flashed a custom recovery, I tried alle three and still I get the broken droid with the red triangle and no connection if I try recovery mode, I guess I will have to do a full factory flash too :((
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
Wait.

First of all, did the recoveries flash successfully? and also, have you updated to 4.3?
[Nexus 4 General] karthi89:
Right.

Booting in to custom recovery via fastboot is not working with the latest bootloader(z10, the one came with 4.3). there is a slight change in the code to boot into custom recovery via fastboot. Just wait for the toolkits to be updated. or else go back to a older bootloader
[Nexus 4 General] kr33p0:
Yes, when I updated to 4.3 and the recovery got updated from stock to TWRP is when the problem started, now I flashed the recovery using cmd and the instructions 2 pages back and it says it pushes it and then when I try to enter recover it is the same dead droid with a red triangle except now it added a line of text saying "no connection" I actually tried flashing CWM TWRP and the Stock recovery image and they seem to be flashed as the resulting error is different but none actually let me boot into recovery :(

I would do a full factory flash and then re-SU if I have to as long as that will actually work.
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
are you flashing stock recovery over CWM/TWRP?

If you still have issues, contact me on Hangouts.
[Nexus 4 General] kr33p0:
I have tried flashing Stock over CWM/TWRP and TWRP over CWM and nothing works. If can use the flash-all command with the official recovery image, it will restore ROM to factory but will it also work on recovery to restore that?
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
It will remove and restore everything including recovery.

[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
Why do you want to do so?
[Nexus 4 General] kr33p0:
Well, apparently the latest one is not working with custom recoveries and if you do replace the recovery for a custom one it gets broken and you are left with no recovery :( so maybe getting an older bootloader back will let the recovery option work again.
[Nexus 4 General] DJBhardwaj:
I don't know why is it working all fine with me. I have the latest Bootloader as delivered with Jelly Bean 4.3 Factory Image, and have already flashed quite a few recoveries incl. TWRP, PhilZ etc. No problems at all.

Apart from that, from where did you get the bootloader image file?
[Nexus 4 General] kr33p0:
I used an all-in-one toolkit, first time playing with android so figured a 1-click solution will work best for a start, I used Wugz Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.8 for a 1-click unlock-root-custom recovery and that is how I ended unable to enter recovery mode or fix it.
