No, your not "bricked". If you can get into download or recovery your fine, a bootloop just means you screwed something up and didnt flash correctly or correct roim maybe.
Start over, restock using overcome guide/pack, then flash the correct cm9 via recovery for your model/variant.

No way to avoid stock when "only" CWM recovery is "gone"
Hi all,
the last CW-9 nightly update finally did it... boot loop and CWM recovery can not be selected any more (Vol UP and Power). Download mode (Vol DOWN and Power) works, but I would really hate to restock, because my only nandroid backup and Titanium backups are on the internal SD and that would get formatted in the process.
I looked around for other phones and it seems as if they can simply load an image of CWM 6.xxx via ODIN (I tried fastboot but that did not find my device at all).
I could not find any CWM V6 image as a .tar file anywhere. Anyony have a link?
Does anyone know a simple and fast way to get back my nandroid state WITHOUT restock?
Thanks

Thanks pressed for that! At least now I know why fastboot did not work...
Still, does anyone know if I can fix the boot image with Odin ... or Heimdal or whatever?

Did yu read it or not?
The guy has your exact problem and solved.
But since you ask again.
extract the boot.img from good package and
heimdall flash --kernel ./boot.img --recovery ./boot.img

Yesss Sir, I did read. But maybe you sent the wrong link, because your "answer" (not his) points a an open question. Or how do you read his last sentence "does anybody know how I can go about doing this?" -- As to the heimdall solution, I tried that, only to find that it was unable to write to my internal SD. So, i guess the partition scheme got messed up :crying::crying::crying:
Anyway, I gave up (this time) and restocked. Back to my last accessible data backup from May...:crying:
Should somebody still find a "real" answer, please do respond. Even if the answer should be a clear "it can't be done", so be it. Or ask St. :angel: CDESAI to please please make "our" version of CW Reboot.

I sent you the right link for those who messed up their kernel .
If your partition gone bad then no wonder it won't work.
Now you have restocked, you can always start from scratch.

Hi guys,
I'm a noob here so pardon any dumb questions. I tried to do the 4.4 OTA update and it failed. When I rebooted my phone it is stuck in a bootloop. My Nexus 4 is rooted and has CWM. However, USB debugging is not enabled and I cannot enable it do to being stuck in a bootloop.
What are my options here?

hi noob quick question you tried to do OTA with CWM installed already? If so thats problem 1. Why do OTA if you are already rooted just go to a thread and install a rooted KitKat rom and done

Yes you are right. I should not have tried the OTA install. opps on my part. So can I still do the rooted KitKat rom without having USB debugging enabled? It seems my laptop can not see my Nexus and I figured this was the issue.

well you either have to download a rom or push it to your device to flash kitkat. Have you tried it in recovery? See if you pc recognizes your phone then

CWM will not be able to flash OTA successfully. You need to sideload it through stock recovery or TWRP.

ok well then you can simply go to development and get a stock rooted 4.4 kit kat rom and transfer it over to your phone.
You are going to have to do some research though,
look for rom - search development
obtain adb tools - search google
then use adb to push it over to your phone. - tutorials are out there
go into CWM then flash rom
Other option is do a search for the one click 4.4 Factory image setup which is the easiest or flash images the normal way using adb. - this method is done through bootloader

!!!!!!!!!!

So I still have the problem and cannot find a fix. Anyone here up for the challenge?
I was stuck in a bootloop and a failed OTA 4.4 update.
My nexus 4 is rooted and has CWM so yes I know i should have updated manually in the first place, but I didn't. After the update failed, it was stuck in a bootloop.
The next step I did was to side load the update. It ran through the install and at the end when 100% is says Installation Aborted. When my device is rebooted it is now stuck on the screen Google in white font.
Some other notes that MIGHT be related: USB Debugging is NOT enabled, as I can not boot into my device.

Hi @kujhawk1977 did you sort your problem? Sounds similar to whats happened to my phone, got stuck in bootloop, failed update and computer not recognizing device. Do you have any tips for me?

No one has answered your question yet. I will.
Edited to say I did find a way to bridge (adb) files over without having USB Debugging selected on the phone.
Updated drivers and used ADB / SDK to move new Recovery and ROM over to my phone using CWM. Never trusting TWRP again

Pull out the battery, reinsert it after 30 seconds and boot the device into CWM Recovery: Volume Up+ Home + Power keys simultaneously.
Go to “Advanced”
Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”
Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
Choose “Wipe /cache”
Reboot your phone
The bootloop should be gone now. If it still persists, do this.
Boot the phone again into CWM Recovery
Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
Choose “Wipe /data”
Choose “Wipe /cache”
Then reboot your phone.
Now the phone should reboot normally. Next time when you install a ROM, follow the instructions prescribed by the developer. Be more attentive to the warnings before experimenting with any third party ROM or mod. Always ensure what you are about to install is meant for your device.

thanks for the reply... i know how to do it, but its not working because i screwed my device up by trying to insall an ota update with a rooted device and a custom recovery. so my only option now is to sideload, which i am working on... hope it works...

cant get adb to recognize my device, maybe because i dont have usb debugging enabled? which i cant enable because icant boot into os... what do i do to get this thing working again? i have android sdk tools installed

Omg I can't believe tons of people are having same problem, ok here u go stock lg drivers don't seem to help pc recognize phone in recovery mode what I did was downloaded pdanet on pc and connected phone to pc in recovery mode and then opened pdanet in pc and installed lg drivers through it and then my pc recognized my phone as adb sideload when adb was run hope it helps you too.

I tried this, along with everything else, and my phone is still stuck in a boot loop. I cannot enter download mode. I was rooted with custom recovery, but i could never get the recovery to work. I tried to update to the OTA (i know, i know) and it killed the phone. Now when I connect it nothing happens other than a bunch of drive popups asking if i want to format. No download or recovery mode. only the LG logo screen and then a quick flash of the "Secure booting error Error: Boot Certification Verify!" screen, and nothing else since.
The main issue is that i cannot get my phone to be recognized by the computer for any type of reflash. If I could get into download mode, I could handle it from there. I hope I don't have to buy a new phone. Im not sure how verizon would feel about it if I took it back to them and it shows as rooted.

this worked for me, and will work for those of you who are stuck in recovery boot loop... this is caused from installing an att update on a rooted device with a custom recovery and or rom. so heads up, if your rooted and you have a custom recovery and or a custom rom, NEVER install a OTA update!!!
so folow the instructions in the link, basically while in twrp, you use the amazing terminal emulator feature to type in the foillowing command, and viola! your phone will boot into the OS!!! make sure to type it in exactly as shown , with spaces and all... good luck!

Persistent problem

Hello,
SOOOOooooo I posted a thread a few days ago. Bear with me, this introductory post is long BUT it is worth including all details I can right from the start to cut down unnecessary communication.
Here goes the continuation in some kind of a bullet form timeline format:
-Bought fully functional d801
-rooted (using ioroot) and unlocked succesfully
-attempted to install twrp using freegee (it didnt work giving me comparable results to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50501346&postcount=867)
-went on to install it manually from terminal emulator (I installed the rogers version as suggested by another user here as this is exactly my situation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50502408&postcount=869
***
PROBLEMS STARTED HERE
***
-Tried many things
-Lost sleep
-Flashed succesfully using flash tool to the original firmware (D801V11B_00.kdz The EXACT same as the original. This is a Videotron (canadian) phone) I even flashed it twice. (still had the exact same issues
-Hard resetted countless times
-lost faith in humanity
Thats basically it so far.
Here are the symptoms:
-Imei = null
-Phone resets/reboots randomly and consistently every 5 to 15 seconds
-I can get all the way through to the android os all seems normal Except:
-No keyboard. ever.
-no wifi
-camera even works
-cant get into security and settings (crashes automatically into reboot)
Very good recent news thanks to advice from a memeber on here:
I tried in vain connecting to adb (always giving "offline") until someone suggested trying a different architecture (x64vsx86) or just different pc altogether.
It worked. Now the device is recognized and it says : "some serial number" device
and not "offline" as before
inputting "adb shell" yields: "[email protected]:/ $"
I am open to answer any question.
I am open to try anything.
This phone is a total loss right now so I am obviously open to anything. :laugh:
Phone is still rooted according to "download mode" interface.
Stock recovery installed right now.
I have what I believe to be EFS backups outputted by the initial Ioroot rooting automation (modemstat1.img and modemstat2.img)
You folks are the best.
Much peace and love.:good:

Your t-mobile, right. D801? (Not 100% on that) if you are, you need lg flash tool. I don't have a link because I'm on my phone but it's around. You need to download the T-Mobile files in the 1st post of the thread. Just follow the directions. Wish I had links

Ok really good news :laugh::good:
Making slow but certain progress here.
So just to update also: I now CAN acces the phone from my computer when I put it in PTP (camera) mode.
First I realized that root was installed but that I did not have the supersu installed. I realized this because I could not access "su" in adb shell.
So I reinstalled the ioroot. Complete success. Super su is in the apps and su commands work.
Next I went on to download the rogers TWRP file (even though my phone is a videotron phone) and install it using this:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Which worked!!!
I went to hard reset data and booted into the twrp interface.
I wiped everything from within twrp and went to reboot. it then informed that supersu was NOT installed on my phone and to slide the bar over if I wanted to install so I said yes...
But kind of bad news now:
Stuck at lg logo...:silly: Stays at lg logo and led is lit up changing from blue to green.
So what now?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for the help everyone.:good:

Did you take any backup using TWRP earlier? If yes then restore it.
If no then you can push another ROM for your device on to sdcard using ADB and install it and see.

It WORKED!
Awesome fix.
adb devices now gives:
(device number) recovery
Ok going to copy a rom and kernel and try to install.

Tried two different roms. Same result
Failed.
set_metadat_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error updating updater binary in .zip '/sdcard/...zip'
Wow just wow.
Any ideas?
This was with omni and cm11. Going to try with a stock rooted rom as soon as it finished downloading.

Just get a latest version of the recovery for your device and install it.

Ok so I managed to update the recovery to TWRP v.2.6.3.4
Installing all zips is working now.
I tried many combination of cm11 with kernels from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611749
Furthest I got was cyanogenmod logo on bottoms of screen for 10 seconds then boot and looping of the same thing over and over.
Omni rom also loaded up til the logo same thing though after.
Bell stock rom is still downloading I will update when I have tried it.
Any reason why the roms would bootloop like this?
Thank you again. I cant believe the progress you have helped me make...:good: I feel like it is possible I am very close to a functional phone again (maybe just maybe hehe)

I remember I had same problem. I use to restore only the boot partition from a backup of a stock rom.
So try installing a stock rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595586. If it works then boot into recovery and take a backup then install whatever you want to and the just restore the boot partition if your are stuck at boot logo.

Ok just finished installing the stock bell rom from the site I linked in a previous post.
Stock D803 rom with stock D803 kernel, both installed succesfully.
Phone is back to exactly how it was when I started this thread. EXCEPT that I now also have TWRP running alongside it.
So that includes:
-*#06# = IMEI Null
-phone reboots randomly every 5 to 15 seconds
-keyboard never comes up
-widgets always have a "loading" circle spinning on them
-trying to enter security and settings = auto reboot
-all other options are accesible and useable as long as no keyboard is involved since it never comes up
-no wifi
Wow, this is one hard to fix phone.
Or it simply has hardware damage. but I doubt it since it has no issues running recovery.
Any ideas?:laugh:

did you install both the newboot and the recovery?
also did you flash them via flashify?

I did just the 1st one and I'm getting deep sleep
I used flashify

Has anyone tried it on the T-Mobile version?

cool got that installed, but I dont understand something, my phone REFUSES to manually boot into recovery, either stock or otherwise, I really dont get it.
Goes into odin download mode no problem, but it will not boot into recovery with volume up + power + home being pressed for over a minute. Anyone have any ideas?

i tried that just now, had to patch sd card to make it writeable which seemed to go fine, then tried to reboot into recovery (after the phone auto-rebooted after patching) and its basically stuck at the "samsung gaalxy s6 edge" splash screen, nothing happens beyond that, same as always ><
in order to reboot the phone i have eto hold down power + vol down + home, then release as soon as it turns off and it will boot up normally.
and infact now its not booting up at all, I wll prolly have to re-flash the 925t root file via odin to get it booting again.

edit: the only time i ever see anything even vaguely resembling recovery, is when i flash the root file.
