Cm 12.1 Update - Bricked Phone Well guys I seem to have bricked my phone. I updated my Nexus 4 from 12 to 12.1 and update went good but gapps failed as it constantly crashed on upstart. So I tried to update gapps with no success.

So I backed up my rom via ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 and wipe data/factory reset. But I got an error, E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] and phone wont boot. Well I thought I better restore and see what I can do from there but I was not able to MD5 missmatch. So I figured I'm going to sideload an older version of CM and take it from there but I'm not able to because of google new security settings which are enabled.

So I try to bypass this as instructed from this tutorial "http://www.addictive...-adb-commands/" but none of these methods work.

When I try to clear dalvik cache log says
rm: can't remove 'data/dalvik-cache': No such file or directory
rm: can't remove 'cache/dalvik-cache': No such file or directory
rm: can't remove 'sd-ext/dalvik-cache': No such file or directory

Whats going on everything worked just fine until I updated to CM12.1 via built in updated system, I just don't understand why wipe/factory reset does not work.

I'm really out of ideas and would apprciate any advice.

Best Regards
Well I was forced to use adb sideload to reflash my phone. If this happens to anybody else, follow these steps to fix the issue:

Install ADB on your computer, tutorials are easy to find, just Google.

Boot to Recovery and navigate to adb sideload.

Now set adb sideload on your phone and from you computer type
adb sideload rom_image.zip   where rom_image.zip should be your ROM's file name.


This should reflash your phone.
