That is not a "flash" command. That command just temporarily boots your custom recovery from your PC. It does not write anything to your device.Just the same one from your tutorial: fastboot boot customrecovery.img
please help me do i need to rooting and bootloader to transfer data between n4 and pc.how to enable auto accept feature for Bluetooth paired device is it possible to do so.
no, you don't need root to transfer data to pc and vice versa. plug it in and windows will automatically detect your n4 if you're on windows xp sp3 or above with windows media player 11 or above installed.
as for the auto accept, i would like to know to.
Thanks :laugh: at least I find that but I have tried to connect it through USB but not done so l have install drivers but still not working now I am formating my PC which previously running xp sp3 and now w7 so i am try on that.:fingers-crossed:
On my N4 home screen there are unexpected shortcut are appears and I am on WiFi and network
data connection is off though charges me for using internet what should I do to stop this.
Hey guys a small doubt... if I flash my Nexus4, will I lose my sd card contents? Had this issue for Galaxy Nexus, just wanted to confirm...
You'll be just fine using the guide on how to install Universal Naked Driver as in first post.
What kind of unexpected shortcuts?
Have you purchased and registered a data plan? You should consult this with your provider, the data charges have nothing to do with android. Hehe
Yes you will. Unlocking and relocking the bootloader, and flashing userdata.img will wipe all of your data on sdcard, make a backup first.
Efrant has warned this issue several time in his amazing guide on how return to stock, please read the whole first page first just to get the big picture ahead.

http://goo.gl/6IHpsOK, read this thread,
is there a way to get root with a Mac ???? I don't have access to a windows machine, even if I did I wouldn't know how to go on. I currently have the HTC Sensation which is rooted via revolutionary & clockwork. But my N4 is coming tomorrow and I don't think I can do without root.
Great FAQ for android beginners.
Anyway, since this device doesn't have removable battery, what should we do in case of bad flash and bootloop?
Do N4 also have SoD (sleep of death) cases? How do we turn off the device?
I do have xoom which also have non removable battery, but I can simply long press the power button to reboot the device, will that work on N4.
Lots of questions there, I'm getting my N4 this week
