Nexus 4 stuck after 4.3 update fail - even after hard reset

[AsidXxx]

That's the problem I'm having all of a sudden. My 16 GB Nexus is showing ~5.7 gb free. This thread: [HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root # - xda-developers suggests factory resetting and if that doesnt work basically reflashing everything. Not sure how repeating the same steps would solve the space problem. Been flashing problem free for awhile, I don't know why 4.3 is giving me all these problems now.

Eh? Reflashing everything again? Did it solve your storage thing?

I dont think I am ever going to look forward to Google updates after this. Stick to custom ROMS.

It seems Google is screwing around trying to buy time. At first I was told they would send me a phone but now it's "our specialists are looking into your problem". Six days and counting...

hmm so it is not just me, been getting the exact same from google, she is a huge ship and moves at her own pace.

Did anyone else face the wrong storage being reported issue after the 4.3 update?

If you can get into custom recovery I'd suggest wiping the whole ROM and data (cache, dalvik etc) then flashing the stock rom using a Toolkit

Had the same problem! The problem is the radio firmware

I wrote a fast procedure on my blog about how to make 4.3 work: Adir's Help Blog

Enjoy

This worked for me. Thank you very much

EDIT: but I still get the shut downs and SIM locks.

Tried 2defmouze's guide - http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...3923-guide-nexus-4-factory-image-restore.html?

Follow it word for word. You'll have a fully functional 4.3 N4 in less than 10 minutes.

Do I have to flash my N4 completely again to correct the wrong storage reporting issue? Everything else works great. Someone please advise.

Didn't work for me. My phone on Android 4.2.2 suddenly has problems it didn't have before.

NOTICE TO ALL! Here was MY Fix for someone who knows next to nothing about rooted devices etc....

like many of you, i tried to update my Nexus 4 (which had paranoidandroid on it) and it got stuck at the Nexus X screen for hours.

After much searching, i was able to fix it by entering fastboot mode, then going into recovery mode. To factory reset and wipe all data, hold the power button and 'tap' the volume up button. After it finishes formatting, reboot the device. This fixed my problems. Nexus 4 is back to working after a few hours in a nightmare.

Go into recovery

Just a quick question, were any of you guys charging your phone during the update procedure?

Go into recovery

Most of the people having the issue are on stock recovery

can someone guide me through it in a less techy way ? everytime i plug in my phone through a usb cable my comp wont recognize it

 

[Bernardo Barlach]

Hi there, I fixed that problem for me:

Here's how I fixed it:

1. When styck on X, press power + volume UP for a while
2. It should appear the "Google" logo again and restart the booting process.
3. You are going to see the X again, but it should go normal.

Hope it helps.

Hail to all thee, yee rooting Scallywags!

Check out Wugfresh faq!

It is possible, that to unroot your wee pocketparrot, you used a custom recovery and alas, the OTA (Only-The-Abyss, commonly misspelled Over The Air) update won?t work.
In this case set sails to the following link, and remember, remember what to do next time.

Actually, if you broke your phone because of this, then it wasn?t google, who threw you to the sharks, you jumped in yourself!

Harr, harr!
