Hello, i have just rooted my nexus 7 (With wugs toolkit) an i installed a theme (Not a ROM, but a theme) and i am stuck in a bootloop. I have pushed roms to the device, Installed them but nothing works. I am currently going to install the stock ROM and lose root. I just want to know what has happened.

To avoid future problems the best idea is to take a little time to learn hot to root with adb. Wugs is great for getting out of a bootloop situation, but you will not have much luck with rom flashing. Nexus just doesn't get along with rootkits. Besides its always great to learn how everything works, especially if you want to make roms.
Im glad you fixed, its very annoyng when you get stuck.:victory:

Do you have CWM or TWRP recovery installed? Did you make a nandroid back up recently? If you did you can restore it.

Are you sure you are in the right forum section? This is a tablet forum not a phone forum.
Do you have the nexus phone?
I did the same thing, except with a status bar battery icon. I went into ROM Toolbox, first installed custom boot logo (worked), but then after I installed custom battery icon, Android kept giving me a "Status bar is unresponsive" kind of pop up, and would continue each time I clicked "force close".
Long story short, I had to use Nexus7 Toolkit to flash the stock image again, as I did not have a Nandroid backup at the time. I do now.
I did email the developer about it, and I was told I needed a deodexed ROM in order to customize. I'm hesitant to install a custom ROM, as I love having pure Android for the first time (I've been using CyanogenMod on my phone and my old HP Touchpad to keep me up to the latest). In time, I may give in, to have more customizations available.
Hay i got nexus root tool kit v1.5.2 and im stuck in what to do with it now. Would appreciate if someone could show me what to do i just want to restore it and i'll just root it again later on.
Ok i got it back to normal i want to thank all of you guys for taking the time to helping me out.
Firstly I did a search and this is probably something I should have found, but I really couldn't see anything- so apologies in advance if this has been answered.
Anyway, so have nexus 4, running CM 10.2 and Franco Kernel (always up to date with both of them).
I had TWRP 2.5 on there for a while which is how I kept flashing updates, and then 2.6 came out. So first thing was I couldn't update it, using various methods (I tried to ADB in, I tried the standard Goo Manager thing, all sorts).
Thought that was odd, but also I couldn't change to CWM (using Rom Manager Pro) which was frustrating too. I re-locked and installed stock custom recovery using WugFresh's stuff, then went through it all again, put on TWRP 2.6 on it.
All was working fine. Out of interest I tried to transfer to CWM (latest) again using Rom Manager. All fine. But then I tried to go back again and it got 'stuck' again. Couldn't downgrade or change to any other custom recovery.
So, it looks like I can sort it using WugFresh's stuff, so not a huge detail, but it niggles me because I should be able to do it 'in phone' right? Shouldn't I technically be able to just hop back and forth if I wanted to for some reason? Any ideas what may have gone wrong?
I am not new to ROMs and flashing etc., but I am completely stumped on this one. I have looked everywhere I know to look (supposedly) but if you find some easily locatable solution that I have missed, please feel free to call me mean names and share the solution with me. Otherwise, this is what I have tried so far (I will start from the beginning):
First, the 4.3 OTA update bricked my phone. I hadn't rooted my N4 yet because it was an updrage from D1 (yes, big jump). I decided to root the phone and install a custom ROM. Can't be too hard right? Its a Nexus for crying out loud. WRONG. Well I rooted pretty easily, and installed my first custom ROM for N4. To install this ROM, I had to erase boot.img, system.img, and userdata.img and then flash each individually from the ROM zip file I downloaded. This worked! I was winging it and it worked out. However, from then on, EVERY ROM I tried to install ended up in a bootloop. I have wiped cache/data, dalvik cache, and even my own (c)ache before flashing new ROM. They all end in bootloop (never ending).
I am able to revert to stock 4.2 easily every time. However, any attempt at installing a custom ROM from there is void. Today I downloaded 4.4.2.tgz from google and ran flash-all.bat. Everything works great! Until I try to boot up; bootloop. I fastboot format this and fastboot erase that, then fastboot flash each .img individually. I fastboot flash new radio, new kernel, etc. etc. but still bootloop.
I really am clueless as to what I am doing wrong or how I screwed myself somewhere along the way, but I am humbly coming before my superiors and asking for help. Please offer me the simplest solution and call me dumb for not seeing it, I will hold you in my heart 4eva

This is why once I have my phone rooted, there's no turning back to stock.
Are you sure that you wiped system, along with everything else between adventures? (factory reset via recovery)

Yes. I even just did it again to make sure, but I am still watching the beautifully colored circles fold in on themselves.

Ok, gonna make a suggestion, and it's totally on you if you want to take it, and of course I won't be held responsible. I have had a bootloop or two on my G2 (the original), I would get impatient and pull the battery. (wish the Nexus 4 had a removable battery) Without fail, that cured the bootloop. Just remember, that was a G2, not a Nexus 4.
Don't ask me why it worked because I have no clue.

I have cycled power a few times during the boot to no avail. I also just reverted back to stock 4.2 and then installed OTA 4.3 update hoping outcome would be different (definition of insanity according to Vaas). I don't know what to do. It's just not in me to run 4.2 forever

Have you tried calling an Exorcist?

hey all, I could use a little help on my phone. I tried to root it and I am stuck I have been using my old evo3d since it came out, and just picked up an HTC 10, so I am rusty on rooting and other things.
Anyway, I unlocked the bootloader on the HTC10 via htcdev,
installed twrp
flashed supersu (this where where the issue started)
so basically I thought I was rooted, did a root checker app and it said I wasn't.
I went to reflash supersu.zip and wiped everything again, but actually wiped EVERYTHING, no OS on my phone now.
Anyway, I am now asking for help. I am S-on right now, can get in to recovery, but just don't want to screw it up more. So could use a few tips. I am thinking about flashing the bad boy rom, but am wondering if I need to be s-off or anything like that? or can I just put the zip on my sd card and flash?
Thanks,
did you flash the modified su

I did use that one when I did it. It didn't seem to work, (a couple apps said that there wasn't root) so in the process of trying again, I am pretty sure I wiped EVERYTHING on the phone. Literally no android on it at all I think. I can get in to htc download and in to twrp recovery, but nothing else. So at this point, I need to figure out how to flash either a custom rom, or a stock, or what ever just to get my phone back. Thanks for any help
I do know that it does require you to format data because of encryption.

Just put the ROM.zip on the sdcard and flash, ROM is already rooted, no S-off required
Thanks for the help, I think I got it figured out. Reinstalled supersu and then flashed the badboyz rom, seems to be working as we speak, so hopefully got it all worked out.

Remember that pretty much all your custom ROMs come rooted. No need to root the stock ROM unless you plan to stay stock.
Way too many times I see people having trouble or run into problems trying to root, when all they want to do is install a custom ROM.
So it has been rough week for me. My luck was so bad I went thru 3 phones. This all started last week when I flashed rom on my nexus 6p. Apparently I had vendor issue so I erased everything in twrp and then tried to restore everything back. This is when bad luck began. The rom went on Bootloop and wouldn't work. The phone wasn't booting I thought maybe since I just installed it might take while, turns at after 5 hours all i got was very very hot phone. I was like everything is fine I can just flash all other roms i have in twrp for just incase. I booted into twrp and it started asking me for password. When i tried to log in it wouldn't work so I went into allow modification mod. I couldn't do nothing major there so I " This is where I F$%* up " Formatted the whole thing thinking ill be back on stock. Everything was gone and I mean everything I started freaking out then I remembered I can just connected to internet and put rom and gapp file on phone folder and flash it in twrp. Well That didn't work either because when I flashed both files it's in bootloop still. Someone please help. I also broke my backup phone nexus 6 that I had in same day this happened. When I tried to take my brother moto x play I found out he bricked it. I really really need help. What should I do and please don't mind me and "noob" at this.
