[RECOVERY][4.4][NEXUS 4]Stock KitKat recovery - flashable zip

[Flintberg]

Just in case anyone needs it - here's a flashable zip with stock Nexus 4 KitKat recovery, straight from the factory image.

Instructions: just install the zip using your custom recovery.

You do this on your own responsibility, I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your device.

Will a link be put up anytime soon? Otherwise, this would be a pointless thread.

 

[Flintberg]

File added. Sorry, I had no idea it didn't attach.

Just gives me a laying down android with red exclamation. No recovery installed at all.

Will this recovery work if you're running stock 4.2.2 JDQ39? I've googled & searched for a stock 4.2.2 recovery and came up empty :crying:

I'd think some details of your set up would come in handy for diagnostic reasoning.
Unless you are just saying/etc??

What details would you possibly need when I say flashing this via custom recovery just gives me a laying down android with red exclamation and erases the custom recovery. Tell me. What else should I include? Has it worked for anyone else? 3 downloads and 4 attempts now show unsuccessful.

That should be the stock recovery! Have you tried, while you see the Android with the red exclamation mark, pressing power and volume up buttons? This should bring you to the actual recovery menu (from where you can do factory reset, flash zip etc..).

 

[mike102871]

Yes. I've done this numerous Times and just tried again.

Well, it's a bit tricky. You just have to try again. Because I just tried again and it works:

No, not only Volume Up! Press the Volume Up + Power button for 3 seconds

Alternatively, you can try to download the KRT16O stock image here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-krt16o-factory-75ccae7a.tgz then extract the archive and finally flash the contained recovery via fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Edit: Nope, bootloader can be unlocked.

 

[mike102871]

Yep. Already tried it as you listed. Still won't work. Volume up + power just reboots.

Well, I'd try to get the correct stock recovery for your current build from the factory image (if that is KRT16O, see link above) flash it via fastboot and try again (also try to press the Vol Up button a bit before you start pressing the power button to make sure it doesn't take the power button press only). But don't know how to help any further.

Can anyone provide me a KTU84P recovery.img?
