[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pravarth:
I was 4.3 (locked bootloader) and the phone worked fine until one instance where the lcd glitched in the messaging app and it stopped responding. So I hard reset the phone and then it got stuck at the nexus logo (Bootloop).

So, i tried the following things:

1) Unlock bootloader

2) Flash 4.4 (KRT16S) from fastboot. Flash completed successfully, there were NO errors. Waited for a while, still stuck in the nexus circling logo. So i went to recovery and wiped data and cache, rebooted and waited for atleast 30mins.

3) Next, I tried 4.3 (jwr66y). Went through the same drill, still not booting. At this point I starting looking online to see if others are having the same problem. This is probably close to what I could find (http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1nefzy/)

4) Lastly I flashed 4.2 (jdq39) using the same procedure as the last 2, but this time it boots successfully! I cannot explain why, I have not done anything different this time.

So I thought I'll give 4.4 another try, but it doesnt work. Stuck in a bootloop. Immediately I flashed back 4.2. So, ultimately only 4.2 works on this phone for some reason. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Is there a hardware problem with the nandflash, if so how do I verify it?

Also I did not use the toolkit to flash, I just ran flash-all.bat and verified that each command was executed successfully.

UPDATE: This is a rare problem that has affects a handful nexus 4s. The best option is to RMA the phone if it is under warranty of sell the phone for parts. This post gives a good summary of the problem: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47532787&postcount=282

[MENTION=4169325]pravarth[/MENTION] It looks like you flashed the wrong image to the nexus 4. Always flash image which says occam (thats the codename) . If 4.2 works then surely 4.3 and 4.4 will work successfully.

Always downlaod image from here :

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

.

Just flash 4.4 again and see .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pravarth:
I got the images from that link and I also double checked that I'm using occam images

occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199 (4.2)

occam-jwr66y-factory-74b1deab (4.3)

occam-krt16s-factory-2006f418 (4.4)

I also verified the md5 hash on all 3. The files are fine

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
Really farfetched but maybe something got damaged in persist or one of the other partitions. If you can figure out a way of enabling usb debugging in 4.3/4.4 (say enabling it in 4.2 and dirty flashing system/boot or maybe flashing a custom rom that has it enabled by default), you might be able to investigate further with logcat.

Wrong bootloader?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pravarth:
Yes, I'm under warranty but I bought the phone from USA and I don't want to send it back unless I have to. So I'm trying all options

The appropriate bootloader and radio images were flashed before flashing the image.

According this thread, it seems the problem exists with baseband and apparently is a known problem (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48332273#post48332273). So it seems only .48 baseband boots. This is probably what is happening with mine as well. I'll check if they work while on .48 baseband

I had a similar issue trying to flash the factory 4.3 and 4.4 images. Everything appeared to flash successfully, but it would never get past the boot logo.

I don't recall where I found it, but someone said to try re-locking then unlocking the bootloader. It worked for me. Maybe it could work for you.

The "no baseband" thing sounds like that old recovery bug. Are you using the latest twrp or cwm?

After trying all methods suggested and researching, I've yet to encounter a phone that has been revived from this problem. This post summarizes well: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47532787&postcount=282

There are some online services which claim to restore imei but I'd rather not do that.

Basically, I will have to RMA the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblack248:
I still haven't heard of any N4's recover from this issue, and I really sympathize with anyone that encounters it. I spent a good 12+ hours diagnosing the issue and had no luck. If it makes you feel any better, the RMA process with Google is very simple. I filed for a replacement with two-day shipping on a Saturday, and it was delivered on Tuesday (mine shipped from Lexington, about ~5 hours from me). The credit card authorization (not a charge) that was placed on my account was also taken away with no problems. Of course, I had restored the phone to stock 4.2 and locked the bootloader before sending it back in.

Has anyone seen a verified IMEI backup and restore method for the Nexus 4? I haven't had much time to look into it, but the ones I've seen have been for other phones.

Curious to know if there is a program that will enable the press of button (icon) to perform a couple of tasks such as:

1. not to turn off after a time limit and

2. leave the back light on.

Would be useful when reading eBooks and then simply press the icon to go back to the original settings.
[General Topics] vijay555:
Generally I would recommend Mortscript for macros and scripting, but keeping the backlight on etc - why not just extend your settings > power > backlight timeout? I never have this problem reading books.

However, I've written a research app called VJElectrify (search on the board for info about it) that would do what you asked for. But I'm sure there are better solutions.

[General Topics] frigit:
Hi Vjay, did a quick search but didn't find much. Are you able to PM me VJElectrify?

The reader I'm using is Mobibook which has the autoscroll feature. Unfortunately because your not pressing the page up/down it auto shuts off.

Thanks in advance.

PS I like your togglenew program. Would be great if the keyboard icon would disappear though. Keep it up.

[General Topics] vijay555:
frigit: what OS are you using? VJElectrify is currently Universal only, but it could be rewritten I guess.

ToggleNew must be quite an old version, I don't think the newer one had that bug anymore.

Can you read through this thread until you find an updated beta?

Thanks for the prompt reply Vijay.

[General Topics] vijay555:
I think that's correct... tell me how it looks.

There will be a new version coming out at some point soon.. when I get some time!

VJElectrify is really only WM5 test code right now, it's designed to be obtrusive since it keeps your screen and battery running. It could be made to work on Wm2003se, but you'd be much safer just increasing your backlight timeout. If you really want it, let me know, but I'd rather not put it out yet, it's too alpha..

There is an app on PLAY STORE by the name MY PIANO

I liked the app and played some songs on it.

Hence wanted to share some tunes, so some amateur people can learn some songs.

How to use::

1. Download and install my piano from play store ( Free app) ( I am not associated with the app)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bti.myPiano&hl=en

2. open any file manager

3. make a folder by any name you like, I made by the name " My Piano " in Phone's default storage. (NOT external card)

4. Download and extract midi.rar or midi.zip to this folder

Paste all the .mid files attached, in that folder.

5. Now open My Piano

6. Go to options---> settings and choose " show 2 full octaves "

7. again Go to options---> settings and choose " piano keys " and select " Glowing " . by this the key which is pressed is highlighted more clearly.

8. Now again Go to options---> settings and choose " Load Item " , select " MIDI" and tick SD CARD and Locate the folder by the name " my piano" ( or the name of folder which you made)

9. Now click on the song which you want to play.

10. Enjoy Learning.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] volumebmx15:
So tonight around 6pm EST I noticed that there was a Cyanogen mod nightly for my wife's Verizon htc one. I also noticed that there was an update function so I decided to give it a try. However, I didn't realize I had yet to make a backup of her current ROM. I thought I had done this when I originally rooted the phone... HUGE MISTAKE NUMBER 1. Once the update was flashed it gave me an error and began boot looping. I tried to find the original version of Cyanogen but could not locate it on the device. Since the HTC One doesn't have an SD card and I Don't have the special OTG USB I couldn't get the storage to mount to add a new ROM. After 2 hours of searching I was finally able to Push a ROM to her device but I kept getting an E: Error executing updater binary... <--- this error I researched only to find that I couldn't flash the rom I was trying to lash in the latest TWRP recovery.

ALL I want to do now is to flash a new recovery to the phone so I can install a ROM and get this paperweight working again.

Can someone please explain to me STEP by STEP what to do here? :confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
It depends on what you are trying to do. You said you wanted to flash a new recovery, so go ahead and do it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2416431

If you want to revert back to stock, go ahead and do that too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475216

But I say your best bet is to just push a ROM in recovery. Are you S-Off?

Also, what commands are you doing to push a ROM? Is the E: drive where your SDK toolkit located?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] volumebmx15:
Karn101,

What ROM and RECOVERY would you suggest I flash?

I had the TWRP 2.6.3.4 touch recovery installed but for some reason it would not allow me to install the following 2 ROMS

1. Google Edition HTC One VZW [KITKAT]

2. Inverted-EclipticONE-KitKat-v1.2

When I did this I kept getting the E: Error executing updater binary which really had me as a loss.

To answer your question I am S-OFF it says UNLOCKED M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-OFF RH @ the bootloader screen.

HBOOT Version is 1.54.000

Also when I was pushing a ROM I was using some commands I found in a guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2354259

I followed some of the steps on here with no luck...

Also I attempted to flash several recoveries from Fast boot with the Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img in the command promt. It shows that the files was sent but the phone just get stuck at the bootloader saying loading recovery at the top in blue font.

Can you walk me through each step on this? I need to get a recovery on there first them push a ROM to the device and install it via the recovery.... I am assuming that would be the easiest method.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tigerstown:
If your s-off can't you flash the Ruu in fastboot? Maybe that will help
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I suggest this as well.

"brick" means phone is dead. you're phone turns on..

not a brick. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jvasquezhhi:
what i did once when i couldnt flash RUU was it should work S-On and well Its got to work on S-Off

1-Download TWRP recovery also the System.img and boot.img

2-Rename TWRPRecovery6.3xx.img to Recovery.img

3-Flash recovery in fastboot fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img

4-boot into recovery via fastboot fastboot boot recovery.img

This will boot your device into the custom recovery

5-press Backup

6-swipe to confirm

7-after it's done making a backup

8-navigate back to the home screen

9-press Advanced

10-press Mount

11-check the box next to USB-OTG

This will allow to mount your sdcard into the computer and you can copy the system.img from the RUU

12-open folder TWRP open folder BACKUPS ETC ETC until you get to the folder with the backup you just made

13-delete the system.ext4.win delete the system.ext4.win.md5

14-copy the system.img here abd rename it to

15-system.ext4.win

16-then unmount

17-then navigate back to the home page in the recovery and

18-press Restore

19-then choose that backup and swipe to confirm

20-also recommend fastbooting the boot.img

this is what i did when i couldnt get any rom to flash any roms via recovery nor a i could do a RUU saved my phone.

hi,

i have an att s4 that randomly switched my boot image to an unlocked padlock with the word custom under it. once that happened, it stopped being able to reboot.

the phone now has to be completely ereased (internal memory) and wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and date then install the rom plus gapps to turn on.

i did nothing to th phone other than switch roms once and i belive i went from cm 10.2 to a slimbean to test it out or something. now it will not restart and i am running omni 4.4.1 because thats the last thing i found on my sd.

hep!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Sounds like you did a full data wipe instead of a factory reset when changing ROMs... That is always a no no. I am not sure how to fix it short of using Odin to go completely back to stock and starting over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] thefawzy:
Already tried that and the phone won't let it book the first time. It says that system is. It supported by Att or something. A yellow triangle thing comes up.

You have to read the OP of triangle away. That is part of the process on the S4.

I think your high. It's as thin as any basic TPU. ITS THE next thinnest thing after the Feather. I have an Aspira, and it's thicker than this

Lol, I was basing my opinion on the areas above and below the two holes on the top of this case and they look thicker than my Aspira. That said, it does look quite a bit less thick on the sides, but I think it's still going to be slightly thicker if sitting aside of an Aspira on a flat surface.

[G2 Accessories] big70tom:
As promised. The Ballistic is the bulkier. The Trident uses a squared off design to give you a feel of thin and less bulky than it actually is. The Trident is a fantastic case and Uber protective. The Pure Gear is amazingly thin. It fits like a really good tpu case. Since the clear part of it is a less pliable material as l than the silicone like sides it enabled them to slim down the actual material. It fits perfect, gives a slight lip on the front to allow you to safely sit it down screen down. The clear back seem resilient as I've had it in and out of my pockets and truck and there are no noticeable scratches.

My favorite cases have always been the Speck brand, but this case to me has surpassed it. Great case

[G2 Accessories] Jocelyn:
Like I originally said, Ballistic Aspira is thinner. Your ballistic case looks like a MAXX or a Shell Gel, not an Aspira ;)
[G2 Accessories] big70tom:
Dude, there is no way aspira is thinner. Aspira still has big corners, then if the back is it's thinnest it matches the PureGear. I've had cases for many by phones. I've had aspira. This case is as thin as it gets. Only thinner is feather and that's because it's cut out the top and bottom.
[G2 Accessories] big70tom:
I'd wager the Aspira is Closer to Trident than puregear
[G2 Accessories] big70tom:
I'll post pic of it on when my wife.gets home. Totally better. There is a texture like pattern in the clear part, it's not obtrusive, you still see through, but it eliminates the fingerprint issue completely. It's well thought out case..
