hi to all I have nexus 4.2.2 and rooted using toolkit. been using it for 3 mos and sometime last week a prompt message to upgrade into 4.3 and so I did. after the upgrade when I rebooted the system just hang.
wanted to revive it but I accidentally erased even the internal memory. now I can start the unit with the google logo and bootloader as well but cannot continue as I get the Booting failed message.
is there any way I can manually flash the boot, recovery or system images? or will the toolkit be able to help me revive the unit back to life?
I have used the nexus toolkit option 9: Download, Extract + Flash Google Factory Stock Rom and was told to reboot and I still get the same Booting failed.
I need help. thanks.
Can you boot into recovery? If so, try a factory reset. If you're using stock recovery you have to hold down power and tap volume up to bring up the menu options when you see the android with the red exclamation mark.

Hi guys...
First off, i'm somewhat of a noob. Got my N1 already rooted a few months back but i've tried many different ROM's since. I'm using Clockworkmod Recovery.
I was running Cyanogen 6.1 yesterday and wanted to create a backup of stock froyo for gingerbread's release.
So, i did a backup of Cyan 6.1 and followed the following steps off Android Central's forum.
Step One
Download this file. It's the flashable, stand alone version of FRG33.
You can't go straight back to FRG83 using this method. Just trust us.
Place the PASSIMG.zip file on the root of your SD card.
Power off your Nexus One, then hold volume down while pressing the power button.
Your phone will spend a minute or so looking for an update file (the PASSIMG.zip file).
When it has the info it needs, it will ask if you would like to install it. Press the volume up key to choose to install the file.
Your Nexus One will take another few minutes installing the update, then it will reboot.
Let it reboot the whole way, then go on to step two.
Step two is for the update to FRG83 which i did.
The phone boots and runs fine...
But ever since I did all that, my N1 looks like its unrooted. I can't use ROM manager, Titanium backup to restore since they all tell me they don't have su rights. I installed Superuser from the market. It opens but does nothing with my app's rights.
adb can't find my device when I try to list it (adb devices). Neither can Fastboot (fastboot devices), in fastboot mode.
I see the padlock at boot
I can't go into recovery. I get the robot with an exclamation mark. If i hit the power and vol-up I get the android system recovery menu (in blue) with only 4 options; reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
I've tried rooting it with Universal Androot but it failed.
I've no idea where to go from there...
Please help!
You have to root again. Use the rageagainstthecage exploit.

Ok... N1 is rooted using VISIONary.
However, I can't boot into recovery mode (clockworkmod). I still get the exclamation mark.
If I try to use adb, i always get an error: device not found.
If I try to unlock with fastboot oem unlock, i get a waiting for device message but it never finds anything....
Almost there... i think!
Ok... using Clockworkmod, flashed recovery and all is good!
Thanks for your help!
update wouldnt install the stock way so decided to force it with odin first it just failed in odin on the last step, so i found the cf auto root method ran that and now i cant even get back to download mode help!!! thanks.
edit was able to get back into download mode figured out i was pressing the button the wrong way. anyway tried reflashing the 4.1.2 build i found and after flashing it says "fail" at the modem stage, so i restarted download mode and flashed the cf auto root again, it started to "update apps for 4.1.2" and kept rebooting itself where it left off, now when booting it said "starting apps" and just reboot again and now just keeps rebooting.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you done a reset since flashing?

What kind of reset? (cant factory reset dont have a recovery to do that with) i've tried taking battery out and putting it back in and it just boot loops after installing the cf autoroot file. so i than tried flashing the 4.1.2 file and it fails again, like a vicious cycle. downloading the stock image now i just want the camera to boot again i shouldnt have bothered with the update lol.
edit: installed stock image get same fail message at modem part, so ran the cf autoroot again it than restarted and "upgraded" all the apps went all the way through this to to finishing boot and now is boot looping again!!!!!!!!!! errrrrr i should have never even bothered with all this.
don't you have at least a stock recovery?
holding zoom+ while turning on my galaxy camera boots it into a simple recovery mode.
4th option is "wipe data/factory reset"
the stock recovery doesn't have as much options as cwm or twrp, but it's enough for a reset.
for recovery or download mode you always have to power down your camera completely, if quick startup is enabled it goes into standby instead so you may have to pull the battery first.

Thanks so much worked at least it boots now i think ill just stick with 4.1.1 and a working device thanks for all your help.
I was going to update my Rooted Stock Rom, and when I went to go flash a new Rom on my Nexus 6 I incorrectly wipe everything off my Nexus 6 and noticed it was stuck on the Google Lock Screen. So Forced it into the boot loader and went to boot my OS and it said No OS. I am having trouble reinstalling everything and could use the help! I have tried using Wugs and its not working for me.

if you have a twrp, well probably you have. plug your phone to your pc while in recovery mode, your pc should recognize your phone and download a custom rom and kernel and supersu from your pc and copy and paste it on your phone that's it..
it happened to me once so don't panic. XD
peace out.
hope i helped. dont forget to press thanks.
ok i just upgraded my 1060 to 5.1 when I went install twrp 2.8.1.0 whit fmastboot it said it was successful. but i cannot reboot into recovery.
it just shows a blue battery charging
then newest version did not dercrypt my phone. what should I be using for lolipop
my goal is to get exposed back on
i tried the following both fastboot and mfastboot.
twrp2.8.1.0-ghost
twrp2.8.6.0-ghost
twrp2.8.7.0-ghost
CWM6.0.3.6
the phone is not bricked, but I cannot get into a recovery. so I cant flash su.
it just shows a blue battery charging
they have not posted a factory image yet and I cant extract a recovery.img form the 2 ota zips.
do I need to go back to kk usng the factory image and start over
I'm curious about this too as I'm looking to re-root and install xposed now that I've upgraded. Motorola hasn't posted the stock images yet, not sure how to get the stock recovery back if I flash something else.
When you first install twrp you have to immediately boot back into recovery so it can finish the process. So you'd install twrp via fastboot then hold down both volume buttons and power then choose recovery.

It was my phone. Truly borked. Going back to motorolla. It won't even boot now. Nothing to do with the recovery. But I think the recoveries at all the same. That being said I will wait for the factory image before I mess with it.

Any chance you are hitting power when you try selecting boot into recovery? For the Moto X the power button shuts the phone off and then since you have it plugged in the blue battery logo pops up. Try again but hit volume up to select recovery!
I thought I was doing that but after 3 tries but realized the phone is messed up. I got irecovery to work eventually. But had other problems. Brick. Went back to moto yesterday

Bootloop, can get to "firmware update screen", fastboot commands not working
Out of nowhere my phone rebooted and started bootlooping. Eventually it came on but within minutes it did it again. After about an hour of pulling the battery abd trying to boot it, it finally came on. I went to use some app (I cant remember the title) to boot into twrp but it froze and started to bootloop again. I had never granted SU permissions to the app and it hadnt come up. Now that i have my computer I was able to boot into download mode (Firmware update screen) but my fastboot boot twrp.img command is stuck on waiting for device. Im guessing a malicious app caused the bootloop as i granted some app SU permissions only to later realize that it never needed it. All it did was download apk files for pentesting and diagnosis apps. It may be one of those apps however. I was on a custom ROM with an unlocked bootloader and twrp (although i cant seem to boot to it). LG Bridge couldnt find the device. Any help would be appreciated as this is my only device and I'm waiting for a call back for a speeding ticket and don't want to be screwed over :crying:
Since you have twrp and unlocked bootloader you should be able to access twrp still. This happened to me but from wiping internal storage by accident. Make sure you have your custom rom of choice on your sd card or the one you were running. Power off your G4 completely and while its off enter recovery mode manually. You may need to do this a few times for your G4 to enter recovery but it will boot to twrp. I believe its hold power button and volume down button then release for a sec both buttons when you see the lg logo then continue to hold them again. Do the factory reset option and after that it will boot to twrp and flash your rom again. Hope this works.

I tried that and it doesnt take me to twrp or the factory reset screen
Did you try it a few times? I had to do it like 5 times before I got the factory reset option. Maybe you have the dreaded hardware failure bootloop.

Happened to me. Every time I would use the hardware keys to get into TWRP it would go back to the bootloop. Most likely is hardware issue like he said ^^ I contacted LG and they told me to send it. It's on its way back to me

My phone started bootlooping on Saturday so i called T-mobile and i just received my replacement phone today. Now im afraid that they're going to find out that my phone was rooted because when u turn the phone on it says bootloader unlocked and if they even get into recovery mode it will have twrp installed
