No worries bro, I just helped because I feel how you might be feeling after trying everything that's mentioned on the internet and yet having a Nexus without an IMEI, which takes years to boot.

Because I know I felt the same, I couldn't even claim for an RMA, for certain reasons, yet, I'm glad you have a working Nexus4.

Thank Gigadroid not me.

help

When I plug my phone in to my pc its show me noting Inside the phone Folder There is another way to copy the files
[Nexus 4 General] Rockstar600:
No need to quote the whole post -_-

And about the phone not showing anything when connected to PC,

Make sure the drivers are installed on your PC. If you have the drivers installed and yet the PC doesn't detect the phone.

Try to DISABLE developer options (if enabled)

If still it doesn't show up, try a different USB Cable,

If still it doesn't, use Airdroid.

Did you try the procedure mentioned in the OP properly?

I suggest you flashing the stock ROM again.

If it still doesn't solve the issue, try the OP method again.

But it is still without radio (calls and sms) and gps, any suggestion?
[Nexus 4 General] VC-:
Good job but i just dont get it how ppl dont recognize that the rom isnt for their device..
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
Most often times this type of unbricking is for developers who are trying to port a rom from another device. For example, one dev bricked his N4 while trying to port an Optimus G rom. If he's still around and has his N4 he can use this to revive it.

There are also cases when people get ballsy and try to flash a rom for a phone that is similar to the one they own, or flash a rom intended for another variant of their phone. For example, Galaxy Nexus has gsm and cdma variants. Flash a cdma rom on a gsm phone and you'll kill your radio. This will revive that sort of brick, as well. It's not always people just being too dumb to realize the rom isn't for their device.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
& also in the excitement of wanting to flash a popular new Rom & combined with the most popular f√ck up....

N⁴/S⁴ & that there is a Google edition of the S⁴ makes it quite easy (I know as I did the same thing myself a couple of years ago - I flashed a Galaxy S2 Rom onto my Galaxy S)

I learned a powerful lesson that night - very much similar to the old "don't drink and drive" slogan,

"don't smoke weed and flash ROMs" :D:rolleyes::eek:

[Nexus 4 General] RoliSoft:
Out of curiosity, how hard can you brick your phone and still unbrick it with this method? Accidentally overwriting the bootloader? Flashing wrong baseband?

I only ask, because I hard bricked an LG Optimus L5 by accidentally flashing a baseband from L7 and the screen just displayed random colors, no signs of life whatsoever. Now I'm afraid to flash anything baseband-related on my Nexus 4. (For example the hybrid LTE radio.)
[Nexus 4 General] Dany-69:
Flashing the wrong bootloader is the non-returning point..

Done that, you cannot do anything else because of the impossibility to enter in any useful mode, like download mode or bootloader mode.

In the case of the OP or mine, the hard brick is caused by writing some files in the wrong partitions.

An android phone has at least 20 partitions (and not only the most known bootloader, recovery, system and baseband), and every OEM uses a different partitions table

So flashing a wrong zip causes the mounting of some partitions in the wrong mounting points and the writing of the files in some places that are not conceived to contain them.

BTW, flashing a wrong baseband should not mean an hard bricked phone because the bootloader is still there.

So you should still be able to boot it in fastboot mode and unbrick it with a common factory image or at least with this method.
[Nexus 4 General] fastdan:
So doing this gives 1.18 GB of more space!? o.o

my nexus 4 says 12.92 GB total and i really need that extra gig :(
[Nexus 4 General] Dany-69:
Ehmmm... no :D

14.1 gig is the dimesion of the partition ..

But the free space is exactly that ..

If you want more space you have to remove the gapps..
[Nexus 4 General] Gigadroid:
Right, but he could change the size of the userdata partition and make other partitions smaller for this
[Nexus 4 General] Dany-69:
I don't think it's something possible and not even advisable.

To change the size of the partitions to some "not standard" sizes, you can't change the gpt file like said in the tutorial..

You must have very remarkable skills using parted, hoping that the resizing operations won't corrupt your bootloader partition and knowing the conseguences of the resizing on your system ...

Nothing really feasible IMHO :)
[Nexus 4 General] Gigadroid:
I have the skills, got me some MB:D
[Nexus 4 General] Dany-69:
You'd like to do all that for an handful of Megabytes?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1993036);

The only partitions you could resize with a real gain are cache and maybe system, earning up to max 500 MB totally.. and losing who knows how much system stability. :)

Useless IMHO :D
[Nexus 4 General] wbaw:
You could probably get rid of almost all that cache partition & symlink it to userdata, maybe chop the system partition in half, save up to 1gb.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Are you going to tell the rest of us how to do it? Is it possible with parted or do you need to edit the gpt files?
[Nexus 4 General] Dany-69:
I don't think he can't just edit the gpt file because the partitions need even to be moved ...

To add space to the userdata partition,according to the partition table posted by mskip, he needs to.. :

1) resize "system"..

2) move "cache" to the new end of "system" partition

3) resize "cache"

4) move "userdata" to the new end of "cache"

5) resize "userdata" until the start of "DDR"

I advice not to symlink cache and delete the whole partition because it's a vital partition for android and this operation would surely cause a bootloop.

BTW, this could help :

okayguys, problem here, have a nexus 16gb, with unkown baseband, no wifi, signal, bluetooth, and hoping this will help me. Now am totally useless when it comes to adb etc, have done and downloaded all thats required but am stuck, on how to proceed on this part please.

-6 Start a command prompt as admin

-7 Type: regsvr32 "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Models\LGNPST_LS970.dll" (yes, I know this is a .dll for the Optimus G).

i have a windows 7 system 64bit please.
[Nexus 4 General] marvi0:
managed to go past the above issue, and am now on

- So now you have a developer firmware on your device and it's encrypted so you can do nothing.

Reboot into bootloader with Vol - and power button.

Now extract the flashfactory.zip and get into that folder.

Then start flash_all.bat and the programm will do the things by itself.

Now you are completly on stock and should have a completly working device

I manged to get into bootlaoder by pressing volume buttons and power. However when i hit flash-all, which is in the folder i extracted, which i assumed, its what meant above, i keep getting and error failed remote. Any advice is greatly appreciated please.

you sir are a genius. You are definetly due a heart felt donation. Was gonna skip my 2 month nexus, with a small crack on the screen, so LG,had refused me warranty, due to that. Now, am at the part, were i have to sort the memory for my nexus 16gig, and have hit problems again. I have downloaded the files, 16gig primary, 16gig secondary and modified dd, and placed these 3 in my system directory, using root explorere from the play store. I then went onto my desktop of my laptop, were i placed the factory image flashable with fastboot, oppned it and did the command window thing in there but had the attached error

May sound stupid but are you sure there is the image in your New Folder (2)?

This error does usually appear when the file that is needed to flash can't be accessed.

Hey, thanks for the guide, unbricked, but Im stuck at 16gig conversion, now I get to

can you help me?
[Nexus 4 General] marvi0:

[Nexus 4 General] Dany-69:
Use the command "ls" to have a list of the files in the current directory.
[Nexus 4 General] domiq123:
Where do I use it? in ADB shell it says "not found"

or how do I use it in ADB?
[Nexus 4 General] Dany-69:
type:

adb.exe shell
su

Then you should see something like "root@android:/ #".

Now you should be able to use every busybox command, including "ls".

You should see even the "dd" file in the list.. as result of the command

cp /system/dd /

EDIT: i just remembered you're using adb through recovery ..

Maybe you won't be able to give "su" command because you should already have root permission in that mode.

RIEDIT:

I can confirm ..

With twrp no need to give "su" command.

You have only to type:

"adb.exe shell"

like described in the tutorial..

Then you should be able to use even the "ls" command..

Look at the screenshot.
[Nexus 4 General] domiq123:
thanks, yes whole thing was my error. I'm not new to rooting, roms and karnels but I've never really used fastboot or ADB. So instead of doing "cp /system/dd /" I did "cp /system/dd" thinking that the last dash was a mistake. I've unbricked my nexus thanks to you guys! thanks! Also, what does that last dash mean?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
Hi,

Just something that's bugging me, I'm on stock ROM, and with apps like Facebook or where lots of images are loaded, there is an ever so slight stutter when scrolling. Is this normal? Its very slight, but quite noticeable. I would've thought such a powerful phone would be able to handle something as trivial as scrolling some I images.

Cheers,

Jack
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
Is it just the fb app being a crappy port? Fast for facebook which loads the same images does it perfectly smooth
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YRAJ23:
The problem is due to image loading effect. If you scroll while the image is loading, you tend to get the lag. Its also depend on how good your internet connection is. Slow connection tend to load the images and data slowly. Thus, causing a lag effect.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YRAJ23:
I'm a flash addict. I try out most of the unique ROMS, no matter how many ROMS I tried, the Facebook app still the same(based on performance). I'm pretty sure the problem is with the app, not ROMS. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android4Andy:
Firstly, does your network support VoLTE?

VoLTE is not currently supported by any network in the UK, this means you cannot make or receive calls when on 4G.

What happens is when you make or receive a call, your mobile network forces you down onto 3G or even 2G.

Therefore if you find a way to force your phone onto 4G and your network didn't support VoLTE, you will never be able to make or receive calls.
