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

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
 
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.

Looks okay to me ...

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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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
 
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... :(
 
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
 
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?
