Nexus 4 not loading/not showing in ADB devices


I recently accidentally "updated" the OS to 4.4 while using a 4.3 rooted OS, which turned it into a very expensive paper weight. I can load into the recovery state (Power+down vol), but i cant load past the Google boot screen. I believe the entire phone has been completely wiped.

I'm running windows 7 and have the adb interface correctly installed. I've followed every step to the letter. win7 sees the phone in device manager.

When I do a "adb devices" command, nothing shows up. I can't set the USB debugging, because i believe the OS has been wiped clean.

FASTBOOT MODE mako mako 16gb rev_11 MAKOZ20i M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.84 None serial number production enabled unlocked

I have what i need to do the adb sideload, but i need help in what i can do to get it to work?


Solution

  • Here is a link that i found for using fastboot. I'm currently at the animated logo, hoping that it is building the Dalvik cache. This has gotten me farther than before!

    Thanks Raghav Sood for the tip!
