Nexus 4 No Rom Can't Side Load

[JonJonXD]

Hey guys, long time no see

I made a bit of a boo boo this morning.

I wanted to install my stock rom so I could OTA to 4.3, however it was not in zip format and now TWRP can't install it.

I'm the man, and wiped my system prior to realizing this

I got as far as going into adb sideload on TWRP, but ADB doesn't seem to recognize the "sideload" function.

When I try to, it just generates the help dialogue.

Here are a few screens.

I am confused as to why I cannot push anything to the device, as all of the guides I have found I followed, so I'm sure it's something stupid.

All help is appreciated! Thanks!

go to put twrp into adb sideload mode

why not install 4.3 directly instead of 4.2.2 and then ota to 4.3?? its much reliable.

I believe you have fastboot and adb setup so you can factory restore to 4.3

follow step "2. Factory Restore Android:"

Hey guys...it ended up being however I have ADB set up on my desktop at home.

I tried in another PC, fresh install of the android SDK, and I was able to communicate via adb sideload without an issue.

My phone was in adb sideload via TWRP, but it kept reading as a "host" device (as seen above).

In the other PC it was able to show the device in side load and allowed me to side load the rom to it.

I ended up side loading the latest version of Paranoid Android (as I was running 3.1 previously) and GAPPs, so now I'm back in business

Thanks for the link for 4.3! I'll definitely use that method when Paranoid gets a 4.3 release
