[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namjf:
Hi all,

I'm pretty much at the end of my options with my Nexus 4 and hope that someone here might still have that one genius idea of how to recover the device.

When the device was still running, I've received the 4.4.2 OTA update, which worked flawlessly for about two weeks or so. The nexus wasn't rooted, and bootloader was still locked. Then Android crashed ("Keyboard Stopped Unexpectedly" - reboot), and got stuck at the coloured google bubble screen.

Another attempt to reboot only got me into a bootloop at the Google screen - and I have not even seen the bubbles any more ever since.

I unlocked the bootloader (i.e. including complete wipe), but this didn't change a thing - still boot loop.

Then I tried to install CM11: CWM installed fine through fastboot, but when I try to flash cm-11-20131217-NIGHTLY I get the error message "E:Can't copy META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary. Installation Failed". I get this (or a similar) error with other ROMs as well.

Trying to install via TWRP went even worse.. TWRP recovery installation via fastboot looks ok, but when entering recovery I again see nothing but the "Google" screen.

Trying to flash stock images from developers.google.com (no matter which one, 4.2.2, 4.4.2, or anything in between) via fastboot doesn't change much either: flashing through fastboot seems to work just fine, but booting then leads me right into the Google screen boot loop again. And: the recovery seems not to work at all after a stock image flash: bootloader is ok, fastboot also works, but selecting "Recovery" from the bootloader only gets me to the "Google" screen and I'm stuck.

So the only things which are still working are: Bootloader menu (including everything through "fastboot"), and CWM 6.0.4.3 (touch or non-touch versions), including access via adb.

At this point I don't really mind which ROM version, stock or custom, rooted or not, as long as I can continue to use my phone as a phone. Is there perhaps someone out there who still has an idea what I could try, or who can point me to the one oh-so-easy thing I forgot to do?

Some information that might help (?) from the bootloader:

PRODUCT_NAME - mako

VARIANT - mako 16GB

HW VERSION - rev_11

BOOTLOADER VERSION - MAKOZ10o

BASEBAND VERSION - M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.48

CARRIER INFO - None

SIGNING - production

SECURE BOOT - enabled

LOCK STATE - disabled

Thanks a lot for your help, and please let me know if you're missing any information that might help resolve this issue.

Bad the same Problem. I flash everything from stock 4.2.2 (bootloader, radio, system, recovery... And wiped user data) then it works again.

Flash su updater to update your binaries. Do full wipe and use a tool kit to put stock factory rom, radio, recovery etc. It's virtually impossible to brick the phone

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandy-achar:
This shouldn't matter but why haven't you flashed the new radio and bootloader? How did you flash the factory image? If you manually flashed it reconsider flashing it with a toolkit, something like wug's toolkit. I think that should do the trick.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namjf:
I tried that before, without any luck. how exactly did you wipe? with cwm, fastboot? I'll gladly give it another try.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namjf:
I did flash the whole set of images (recovery, radio, system, whatever-is-there) from stock android 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 through fastboot. Both with the flash-all script as well as with individual fastboot flash commands. Both with the same result.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namjf:
Thanks, I'll try that route.

Thanks, I guess that'll keep me going for another day or two :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
If a full flash to stock isn't working then there's probably a hardware fault.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebuddy:
When you enter fastboot mode then enter recovery push the volume + button at the same time as power for 1 second keep doing this until the recovery menu shows then wipe data factory reset. This should be done after flashing a factory image. I don't think the phones bricked I believe you not doing something correctly.

greetings !

hello there ! I have a similar problem ! yesterday tried to make ( mistake obviously) the auto instal to CM13 ...something went wrong anda now it just boots and enters a black screen loop.

can acess the bootloader menu but when select recovery it just enters the loo again ....

at first I thought it could be a simple recovery reinstall but can´t get it to be recognized ( ADB ou fastboot)

how to install recovery if the device is not recognized .. ?? :( ( before the update worked fine )

thanks

What's the difference in galaxyfreak's Cyanogenmod 10.2 Weekly build 9 and sakindia123's Cyanogenmod 10.2 Beta#2?

Which ROM is more stable, better and has more features?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
Instead of asking why don't you try and see every user has there own need of using the rom and its features..:D:cowboy:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Deleted member 5071266:
I meant if the sakindia's version has the HALO 2 feature, the s2e...

And do they have any bugs?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
Both the roms are stable and dont have any serious kind of bugs.

Havnt used sakindia's rom that much but have used galaxyfreaks rom the rom is stable and smooth.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Barua:
I use sakindia's rom with pure performance script and it is smooth.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] asdofindia:
Generally sakindia ports CM without adding eye candy to it (no halo, no s2w, etc).

Galaxyfreak and 7alvi adds all those features
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] KidCarter93:
As mentioned previously, if you'd like to know the difference between ROMs or whether a certain ROM is more stable/has more features than another ROM, simply test them out and find put for yourself.

Yes, it will take you longer to find out but it's better to test things for yourself because you might prefer the features/usability of one ROM while other people may suggest a totally different ROM based on their own usage.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SilentNN:
I was on CM10.1 for a very long time, and just recently decided to flash something newer. So I tried flashing Philz recovery (had CWM), then used that to flash VRUBMF1 and VRUCML1 baseband afterwards (from this thread). Without booting my phone, I then flashed CM11 and the kitkat gapps. When trying to restore apps through Titanium Backup, I got a random reboot. Since then, I would get many random reboots, most often in the middle of a Titanium Backup restore of my user apps because it's the first thing I want to do. Sometimes the phone will reboot before even getting to the app restore. I have tried flashing PAC rom (4.3--I flashed jb gapps with this) and unofficial Paranoid Android (4.4) as well, and the problem persists no matter which rom I am running. Of course, I have tried reflashing many times.

I am also trying and currently on TWRP, but this hasn't helped. Going back to CWM and trying to restore my CM10.1 backup gives me a fail error.

Before each flash, I wiped data, and rewiped cache and dalvik afterwards too. Is there a problem in my flash process? What can I do to solve this issue?

Hi guys, sorry if this topic place are not here.

I bought U9501 Smartphone Android 4.2 MTK6589 5.0 Inch 3G GPS 8GB 13.0MP Camera. The phone looks fine at first glance.

But the problem is that first battery dies in 15% and cant not calibrate or something else. Then the phone in the 3th week of his life start,

dies for battery in random once work fine once cant left 6 hours. I thought all the problems of this phone is the software. First 2 things after unpack it was battery problem and second was that the phone, act like there is a ghost in it :). What i mean it open and close application like someone touch the screen in random positions. Its very annoying and i guess it run applications on background that eats battery. All my guesses are pointed to rom problem (software one) or i hope so. My qestion: is there any rom for this phone which i can update by myself, because returning it to china will be a pain in the ...

Thanks in advance ill appreciate any help.

LOL :laugh:

I do not know your skill level but it sounds like Air Gesture to me first thing make sure you have turned off Air Gesture

From Home screen Tap menu soft key (bottom left corner) from the pop up menu select settings scroll to Air gesture tap and then select off.

Then see if that fixes your Ghostly interventions and battery drain.

If not report back here :fingers-crossed:

PS: I will be starting a thread for this phone soon when I have gathered all relevant information ;)

No air gesture :confused: I have two versions of this phone one is MTK6589 and the other is MTK6582 which reported itself as a mtk6589 but both have air gesture though. hmmm

Where have you found that ROM? I understand that it is not for the U9501, but since there is no other options around... I might try it too,

By the way, It is easy to root that phone. I used UnLockRoot, that I ran twice without rebooting the phone in between.

So I can provide a dump of the original ROM, but what I would like to to get another ROM since the one that comes on it isn't perfect and it is full of bloatware.

The first 5 or 10% of my battery (from 90-100%) seems to be way off. After I unplug my phone it will quickly go down from 100% to 95 or 90% within minutes. The rest of the battery's life seems to be normal. So I'm not convinced there's anything wrong with my battery, it's just the percentage that's off. My battery life is normal, and often lasts upwards of 24 hours, so no complaints there. It's just frustrating to see something be blatantly wrong.
