Hello, I rooted my Nexus 4 as a school course work but encountered a problem that I can't find a fix for. My problem is that when I try to flash a zip file for any kernel, it seems to install it successfully but when the phone reboots, nothing seems to have changed in exception to the screen tearing. What am I doing wrong or not doing?

So I have a little bit of a strange issue.
I had flashed the AOKP Milestone 5 on my TF, and although I managed to fix the CWM bootloop, it doesn't appear I'm able to install any other ROM.
Since I've flashed it, any other ROM I attempt to flash either fails to complete it's first boot (watched a few different ones try for hours yesterday) or wifi will not turn on. The wifi issue is also present in my backup from stock.
Perhaps for the ROMs that are booting for me there is a different kernel I may have better luck with? Thoughts, anyone?

What recovery are you using? might pay to try another (Recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759452)
You may want to obtain a kernel compatible with the ROM you want to try and flash both the ROM and kernel at the same time. The wrong kernel could definitely cause both the booting problems and the wifi not turning on.
I think about a kernel problem too, go to your ROM thread and you'll see the best kernel to flash with it...
Hello. I have a problem. At first I unlocked bootloader, rooted, put custom recovery, all the things, than I installed faux's hybrid first from fastboot ,but wifi would automaticaly turn off if i try to turn it on, so i flashed it with cwm as was one of the replies with the same problem. After that wifi was working properly. Than i installed xposed framework and uninstalled it uncorrectly and whatnot tried to change to art which turned to be a mistake. Basicaly my phone was really messed up, cuz i played a little too much with it. So i completely wiped it and went by the guide on how to restore stock firmware. I now have us retail version, but from the startup (with the original kernel) the wifi wasn't working. So i tried to install the kernel via cwm, but that didn't fix it. I don't know what's the problem. I also tried to copy /system/lib/modules files for hybrid kernel but nothing changes.. Maybe i could try with stock us retail 4.3 xt1032 files if anyone has them? I don't know im still a noob so if anyone of you has a solution or someething it would be kindly appreciated.
Thanks
I've searched, read, downloaded a lot of programs but I have been unable to fix a stupid mistake I made earlier which was flashing the wrong firmware on my MK802iv. As a result the WiFI and Bluetooth switches off immediately after switching on regardless of what ROM I install. I've tried to flash stock and other ROM's but the same problem with WiFi and Bluetooth remain.
I can not get RKAndroidTool to run and I can not set up a custom recovery. I'm really struggling to find a way to flash a custom kernel but I don't think that will fix the problem. I suspect that if I could get into a custom recovery and Fix Permission this could alleviate the issue. I'm running out of ideas and can not find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Edit: Probably the wrong forum for this question.

The MK802IV changed wifi chips mid-production. If you go to the official RKM site to their download page check your serial number with the stock ROMs to make sure you get the right one.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone know what problem my phone is causing. It's randomly freezing and restarting my phone in which I can't use it properly. I tried flashing custom roms and etc but still freezing and restarting. Anyone can help?

Without knowing what you have done or flashed, that is again a look into the crystal ball and a lot of oracles!
Maybe wrong recovery version, wrong custom rom version, etc.....
FIRST STEP: Flash a stock rom via ODIN, then the right recovery (step-by-step) and then
the right custom rom according to the instructions (step-by-step).
