Mods [Guide]How to flash a Nexus Factory Image manually.

[lunatic59]

There is an off chance, however unlikely, that something was corrupted in the download/unzipping. You might need to re-download the files.

that's what I thought, I deleted all the downloads and did it anew, but I'm confronted with a new problem, am not able to extract the factory image to sdk-tools folder, it doesn't give me the zipped system file and the bootloader and radio like the first time, but stays just in one single file.
I used the same link from developers.google.com
this is the sdk folder.
adb
adb-linux
adb-mac
adbWinapi.dll
adbWinUsbapi.dll
fastboot
fastboot-linux
fastboot-mac
md5sums
Occam-kot49h-factory-02e344de
sdk.sh
version

Can you post the link you are using?

That's not a zip file, it's a gzip tarball. Not quite exactly the same thing, but similar. did you try the instructions on the download page?

You need to uncompress each download before use, which creates a new directory for that exact download. That directory contains a ./flash-all.sh script, which handles the various operations, installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.

I'm using WinRAR to decompress and extract. it's never been that difficult.

 

[lunatic59]

You are using 4.2.2 (JDQ39)?

(downloading now, going to give it a look-see)

 

[lunatic59]

Looks okay to me ...

 

[rachid]

am using 4.4.2 kot49h on nexus 4.
but I extracted it, changed usb port, usb cable still same outcome "failed to load file"
I am taking a break for a couple hours , I'm saturated right now.

I'm using WinRAR to decompress and extract. it's never been that difficult.

I use 7-zip for extracting tarballs on Windows

EDIT: Are you attempting to downgrade or something?

 

[rachid]

as I said in my first post I was trying to fix a problem with proximity sensor, by flashing an image of stock firmware, but at this point , it won't matter to downgrade as long as getting my phone up and running.

 

[rachid]

YEY!!! I GOT IT.
Finally my phone is working again, I had to extract the factory image, open it and copy the files to sdk-tools folder with fastboot...etc.
special thanks to palmtree and lunatic foe your support, and everyone who contributed to this thread. keep up the good job.

 

[lunatic59]

That's great news!

 

[coldcrow]

Ignore this post, I figured it out myself.

Hi,

first of all many thanks for this tuto !.

I try to follow the step but I have an issue with the step 9

what is the name of my bootloader ?

Many thnaks for your return,

Regards,

Denis

 

[lunatic59]

what is the name of my bootloader ?

Hi Denis.

Your bootloader will depend on which Nexus device you own. If you downloaded the correct archive and extracted them you should see a file called something like "bootloader-mako-??????.img". That's your bootloader file.

 

[den75]

Hummm thanks for your fast reply but I don't download this archive.

On your step lines you not mention that :/

I Have a Nexus 4

And the product name is MAKO
Bootloader version - MAKOZ30d

 

[den75]

Ahh or maybe you mention that : occam-krt16s-factory-2006f418.tgz ??

It's the factory image for the Nexus 4

 

[den75]

So I follow all your steps but now when I reboot my Nexus 4 I have the logo with the four colors and nothing happens...

I'm waiting for 10min now...

 

[lunatic59]

That would indicate you have firmware version 4.4.x

Can you tell the exact version?

 

[den75]

I don't know the exact version because when I try to switch on the phone I have always the logo animation with the four colors... :/

I Think the phone have the version 4.4.3

 

[lunatic59]

As far as I know, 4.4.2 is the latest version of the Nexus 4.

Before reflashing the firmware, have you tried a factory reset?

 

[den75]

Yes I try to do a factory reset but same thing :/

Maybe I need to try to put an old version like the 4.3 ?

 

[lunatic59]

If you still need to reflash the firmware, you should download the latest version from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=FR#occamkot49h

If youre phone boots to the animation, I don't think your bootloader needs to be reflashed.

 

[den75]

So I need to do all the tuto ?
