I was trying to root my nexus 4 by the following steps:
- Download and copy the file
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
to /sdcard/ - Download the file CWM 6.0.3.5
- Got into Fastboot/Bootloader Mode on Nexus 4
- Execute the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-mako.img
- Choose RECOVERY from the Fastboot menu and enter Recovery Mode
- In ClockworkMod recovery “flash zip from SD card”
- Then selected “choose zip from sdcard”
- Now I should see the copied file
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
but there was none, and I got the output `Can't mount /sdcard/
Then I tried to use Install zip from sideload
- I sent the file with
adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
I get the output:
Restarting adbd...
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install`
E:failed to open last_install: Invalid argument
Finding update package...

SuperSU installer ZIP

Mounting /system, /data and rootfs
Disabling OTA survival
Removing old files
Creating space
Extracting files
Restoring files
Setting permissions
Unmounting /system and /data
Done
Then I go back and choose reboot system now
but when booting only the GOOGLE sign pops up and then the X (I was waiting for about an hour)
SOLVED I did a full reset by downloading the original factory image from google here
And then I followed the steps in this tutorial: here
