Won't flash on nexus 4? - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys so I really like Ubuntu touch. It looks nice and all that. But I can't seem to get it to flash.
I've tried multiple ways like using the 2 zips and flashing via clockwork mod. I flashed in both orders the phablet armhf zip then the device zip and vice versa but no good.
I've also tried deploying the images via command prompt via windows 7 as I don't have an ubuntu computer (or one capable of using it at all) and same thing, no results. It just hits the Google screen and then just turns off.
Am I doing something wrong? If you need more details let me know.

The screen stays blank for a while before it boots. It may look off, but it may not be. Have you tried a complete wipe (system, data, cache, & Dalvik)? Also, I highly recommend switching over to the latest TWRP recovery. Try it, it will probably work better for you in this instance and you can always go back to CWM with ROM Manager. www.teamw.in

Need help! Screen not working

I need a way to pull all data from my phone. the screen turns on but is completely unresponsive in the middle of the screen so I can't type half the letters. Anyway to pull data from recovery?
Have you tried creating a backup from cwm?
Its not rooted, completely stock
Guessing you tried auto rotate? When mine went bad, I turned it on, and rotated every direction as needed. Worked for me. Kind of a pain, but allowed me to get all of my info......
Ya I tried, doesn't rotate
That's terrible. Sorry to hear.
The only other way would be a lapdock. I did that as well.

Mainly pictures And a few contacts. Pictures weren't saving on SD card unfortunately. No I'm not familiar with Linux
Try install airdroid and see whether u can backup from there.

If XP try android commander
Load it up and you will see all partitions for your phone. Tick sdcard or mnt/emmc and pull to pc
But may not work with you being stock and unrooted

on my mums atrix the touch screen was unreponsive like mentioned but this went away after a while.... it could be a software issue
Do a restore from proper .SBF with rsdlite, this will reset back to factory ROM. If your problem was software, this will fix.
Consider unlock and use CMW...

Stock with goodies 2.12

Question I have install this Rom and a bug I have is when I check my messages I get a no message and then my message appears I did a clean wipe I notice this happens when I press the back button does anyone know of a fix
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Mine does that too, but is it really that big of a deal? It only says it for a split second before your messages come up.
It's like the phone dialer coming up everytime you come up out of a reboot. Kinda buggy, but it doesn't affect anything does it?

Wether a super wipe or just a normal wipe, its what you're supposed to do. I recommend a super wipe cause it wipes your boot partition. Since TWRP 2.2.2 doesn't have it its what I recommend

[Q] no screen but backlight

HI,
Having searched the threads i seem to arrive at no help!!! My neo (MT15 early model) was recently updated using the software from the official site but my phone will only show the screen briefly then go blank BUT the backlight remains on. i can still receive messages and calls but cant see them unless i take the battery off then turn on again. even then it takes 3 or 4 attempts.
Any help or direction would be appreciated
Thanks
If your phone is rooted, try using chainfire 3D, but before that make a NANDROID backup.
Also this app does not work on jelly bean (it will brick your phone) so if you're using JB, don't use the app.

how can i factory reset my phone? i've tried linking it to the pc but cant find anywhere that does it!!!
Marf pointed out something good,
Right now forget about what I said and go to "settings > privacy" and hit "factory reset". But before that make a backup of your contacts with "NQ Mobile Security" cause they will be removed.
Hope it works, cause if not you gonna have to become expert

Recovery file transfer

Is there any way of transferring files wirelessly between phones while booted to recovery? Didn't see anything like some whiz bang aroma miracle app. I'm using my backup phone while having to completely wipe my 3VO. Have a cache error when trying to wipe, so starting over.

Thanks, was a shot in the dark... If you mentioned some miracle, I'd have tried it on my lunch break. Home now so back to the normal routine.

No, I am 100% stock. I turn the phone off and back on and now it works.
Factory reset?
