Hi,

I can suggest you some thing but i am not responsible if u bricked your device do it at your own risk

I had same issue " waiting for device" SO you need to install correct drivers for your device i can suggest you to download nexus 4 toolkit version 2 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1995688 and you need disconnect your nexus from usb and open your toolkit and you need :

1.choose option 13 "13. Android 4.2.2 [Build JDQ39]" (I know that your version is 4.3 but the drivers for PC is samething)

2.It will download drivers for your pc

3.Now choose option 1 that say " 1. Install Device Drivers on your PC [DO THIS FIRST] [UnPlug Device First] "

4. After driver installation you can close this tool and try again to flash your recovery like you did it before with (See above "ROOTING process")

Let me know if you succeed

Good luck

When I try to load the YT vid it says "invalid request"...

Oh its more than a vid. I am sorry in the android app it doesnt show the whole post for any reason.

And why download the whole sdk? Grab the platform tools from efrant's tutorial on how to flash a factory image. Then just place the desired recovery in the same directory and you can flash the recovery.

Hi guys,

I know this topic is about installing custom recovery, but does anybody knows hot to root android 4.3 without flashing custom recovery? Yesterday I tried to boot both CWM and TWRP using:

fastboot boot recovery.img

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsnick:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
You should probably add fastboot devices in the instructions to check if the device is correctly connected. Also you dont need to enable usb debugging to use fastboot, its only needed to use adb.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujith1994:
Stop using toolkits try doing stuff manually its really useful doing in the manual way
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujith1994:

Whats not a big deal?

If the device is not connected the process can never move forward and the user can know it so no BIG deal
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
The process could not work for a few other reasons. Typing fastboot devices will help someone know if the device is correctly recognised in the first place or a way of troubleshooting. Also you still dont need usb debugging on for fastboot to work.

sujith1994, bartiki,

if you want to root android 4.3 on nexus4 without flashing custom recovery, this is the command:

fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img

where recovery.img the name of (temporary boot) recovery file.

rooting nexus 4 with 4.3

I read everything and now I am confused. I just want to root my device and give su permission to some apps and I also want to receive OTA when key lime pie will be launched. I guess I have to flash twrp recovery and then superSU . Is it right? And then it will update binaries without any problem as I read there are problems with rooting 4.3 as security is improved using SElinux
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujith1994:
If u want to receive further updates from Google your bootloader must be locked and ofcourse should be in the stock recovery. If you are new to hacking stuff do read things properly(no offence mate) and if you really cant understand what to do and are confused the final option.... Not death! Use a toolkit!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaceman860:
Your bootloader doesn't have to be locked to receive or install an OTA update. You also don't need to have stock recovery TWRP or CWM can install the update. If you don't understand what your doing final option is to read some more NOT use a toolkit.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujith1994:
.OTA updates are usually patch-style updates. That means the whole file is not shipped, just the differences from the previous file. Sometimes if the update is major, they will ship the update with the complete files.

The OTA updates will download to your phone regardless of whether you root. What will stop them from downloading is if you stop the process from checking or you change your signature to look like you already have the update, but rooting by itself will not affect those processes (though you would root your phone to make the aforementioned changes)

Now once the process determines you need an update and downloads the update, then the file gets sent to the recovery process to install.

If it is a full update, then it will just blast over any changes you made and it will normally succeed, even if you have made changes.

If it is a patch-style update, then it will first verify that the SHA signatures of every file/partition it is patching are original and unchanged. It does this because if the files/partitions are changed, the patch will not work and worse, would produce gibberish if the patch was applied without the verification.

So the answer to your question is it depends. If you only add root, you are just adding files to the system, so all the SHA signatures will pass and the OTA update (both full and patch) would succeed, though in the process of running the update, it resets all the permissions in the directories, so you would lose "root" capability, though the files used to give you root are still there (in the patch style update)

However, often if folks add root, they are eventually tempted to change some original OS files, in which case, the patch-style update would fail.

Incidentally, you normally don't need to worry that rooting your phone and changing files and subsequently having the OTA update applied by accident will screw up your phone. The patch-style OTA update will first verify all the files are original before making a single modification and if you have changed files (it depends on) the OTA update will just fail. That's not to say you couldn't artificially create situations where an OTA update will screw up your phone, but it normally wouldn't happen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaceman860:
That has nothing to do with what you posted about having to have a locked bootloader and needing stock recovery to receive OTA updates which you don't.

All OTA updates run a check of your system, boot,radio and bootloader to check if it is stock images

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujith1994:
Yes my friend your boot loader must be locked and u should be in a stock recovery in order to update via ota

You can take me as an example as I have tried to update 4.2 to 4.3 with boot loader unlocked and a custom recovery and it failed as the system wouldnt recognize the new 4.3 update and it kept saying your phone is up to date but when I have reverted every thing to stock I could do the 4.3 update for my nexus.

So, your SIM card lost contact when the phone hit the floor and then instead of trying to remove the SIM card and put it back in you went and flashed the phone to solve the problem and that resulted in loosing IMEI number?

How to install stock rom ? Search. This has been covered here thousands of times over the past two years, I'm not about to regurgitate it because you can't be bothered searching. Get a stock rom for your carrier/country from Samfirmware, then read the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General section.

Hi, to add on, maybe you should tried again flashing with different modem/radio. The different ROM that you flashed may be using the same modem/radio and they may not work on your phone.

This link seems to have mentioned various modem/radio for S2. You may want to try it. You may want to refer to another working S2 and check out what is the working modem/radio working well in your area. Then you flash in the same radio/modem.

Hello masters, after lurking for quite some time trying to figure out things by just reading, I finally decided to put away the shy me, give it a shot and start interacting. :angel:

Android has educated us end-users to become more savvy into getting the full control with our devices and the many things that we can learn along the way. OK, nuff with the blabbering.

I got a budget friendly phone for this journey - which will be my practice device. I am just fascinated with all the possibilities that may happen with a tiny handheld Android.

So, my initial plan was just to root and install custom ROM for this device. I have done some research for the past couple of hours on how to root SKK Mobile A5. Here are the specs:

1. ROOTING

I have tried several methods and for some reasons only this VRoot_1.4.3.3378_Setup worked from bbs(dot)mgyun(dot)com and sadly I could not understand Chinese so before I get distracted from my primary goal (learning to maximize this tiny handheld and customizing ROM) and try to dissect the application to make an English version :eek: or learn Chinese so I can read it:confused:, I am going to ask you dear masters, for help. Any other suggestions?

Also, right now it says its rooted but I cannot flash CWM (or maybe it's just because I can't understand the prompts) and as far as what I've read this device doesn't have one yet. SKK's mobile devices looks like they're going to be mass-manufactured and really affordable, so another goal of mine is to maximize this, and also suggest improvements along the way.

I am just fond of simple things that CAN. I hope this ain't too much :o

I will be updating this thread with my progress - looking at the possibilities of one device, from a noob's perspective.

Excited to learn!
