I have a Nexus 4 with 4.2.2. I was following this guide to root:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/nex...t-4-2-2-a.html
On step 10, after choosing recovery, my phone is stuck at a blank & black screen. If I hold down power, power + volume down, or power + volume up, it just boots back into a black screen. It vibrates as if it's rebooting but won't get out of the black screen. Any ideas?

Page not found. The easiest way to root your phone is to use the chainfire auto root. You need the Google SDK package installed for the ADB commands, unlock your bootloader, then run the auto root. You can flash CWM recovery or TWRP through the Rom manager app, or Goo manager app available via playstore. It sounds like you may have soft bricked it somehow.
did you ever figure this out?
Download a recovery (CWM)
Download and install the Android SDK if you haven't already (Or at least fastboot.exe)
Paste the recovery into the folder with fastboot.exe
Navigate to the folder with fastboot.exe in CMD (Command Line)
Plug in your phone
Boot into fastboot (I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked)
Type in fastboot flash recovery (Recovery file name EXACTLY with the file extension, which should be .img I think)
Should have a working recovery

I have a TF101 with Megatron installed. I also have an HTC Thunderbolt. I believe at some point in using the tablet I entered recovery through the preinstalled Rom Manager, and now am stuck in a recovery boot loop. I can access the system by holding down Volume+ and Power, then letting the system cold boot. The system has Recovery Touch 5.8. I tried installing roaches recovery, and it said successful, but it still reboots into 5.8. I do not have direct access to a Windows Machine for a long while. i do have complete remote desktop access to a Windows 7 Machine over the internet, and access to my Thunderbolt. Is there anyway to fix this boot loop with what I have available to me? Thanks for any help.

As i understand you can cold boot you tablet. Method when tablet of hold volume - and power button till too white lines of text appear in left upper corner. Let go of the button and wait for it to cold boot up.
Then go online with your tablet to this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
This topic is especially for bootloop problems with recovery. Our tablet can for some reason not handle if your boot into recovery throug rom manager.
Now in the above topic pick an earlier build of cwm and download it onto tablet. Then go back into recovery and flash this recovery the normal way as install zip from sd card (internal memory is that for the tablet )
Now you should be able to normal boot the os. If it after flashing still only boots into recovery your not able to flash recovery. And that can be solved by flashing cwm 3.2.0.1 from the same topic. Afterward you can flash touch recovery over the 3.2.0.1 to be updated.
Download ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2 from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=934821&d=1331070176
Place the recovery zip on the sdcard where clockworkmod can read it.
Reboot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" or "hold volume down and power for 3 seconds, let go of power only, then press volume up when prompted on screen"
In recovery, select flash zip from sdcard and select the recovery zip you downloaded
Once it has flashed the zip file, don't reboot but hold power button to shot down

So about a few hours ago I saw that I could download the new 10.2 cyanogenmod. I wanted it because it was Android 4.3, so I downloaded it. I tried watching flash movies and stuff, and the browsers and stuff kept crashing, and the internet didn't work completely. So, I downloaded 10.1 again, and installed it. It rebooted to the teamwin thing, and then rebooted again. A few minutes after, I was curious as to why it was still loading. Waited a long time, and it still was on the CM boot logo thing. Im using the Nexus 7 toolkit (its called something else, but im not sure what. The icon is a red toolbox with 3 tools in it), and can't reboot into recovery or flash stock back on it. How can I get it out of bootloop? I really need help! D:
Press all the three buttons , power , volume up and volume down together and boot into bootloader. From boot loader use volume buttons to go onto recovery , do a clean wipe there and reflash a ROM. Another alternative is to use adb and type
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then wipe clean and reflash ROM.

Hi Red Devil,
I just tried to install CM 10.1.3 on my Motorola Atrix HD.
I forgot to wipe data and cache before installing the ROM, and now it is stuck in the boot animation.
When I press the power and volume keys down together, it takes my phone to a black screen, and when I press them again on the black screen it gives me a brief menu that says
"Normal power up"
"Recovery"
"AP Fastboot"
"Factory"
and another one I can't recall.
This screen times out in about 3 seconds. and regardless of which item from the menu I select, it still shows my boot logo, then the CM animation. I cant boot into fastboot or recovery, and I can't find anything good online to help me.
Help! What do I do?
Got a N7 2012 runing 5.1 - finally got fed up with it being so slow as almost unuseable so decided to install CM12 ... and am stuck in a boot loop.
I followed the instructions I found (I cant post the link) so I've listed them below:
Deploy ROM image
adb devices
adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
cd Download
#or whenever you have downloaded files
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
Choose Recovery
Now use your volume buttons to change selected item from the Menu and pick "Recovery mode"*and select it with Power button.
Right now ClockworkMod recovery should start!
Now with the same buttons navigate in recovery and select:
1. backup and restore
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. install zip from sdcard
4. choose zip from sdcard (you should find it in folder named "0", not in the root of sdcard!)
5. reboot system now
Cyanogen Mod should be installed!
did a full wipe at fastboot oem unlock .. then realised i'd have to re-push the ROM as I don't have an sdcard ... so I did that.
Managed to flash TWERP onto it (rather than CW) and got it to boot into Recovery Mode but ... the Recovery Mode and Restart Bootloader are in RED and don't do anything when I tap them.
When I try to power off and back on it gets stuck in the boot loop...
Google screen show with a padlock at the bottom, goes away and then shows up again
Teamwin logo shows up
says 'Running OpenRecovery script'
things then happen too quicly for me to track but it seems there are a list of red error messages like:
E: unable to mount data and could not find crypt footer
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and the device doesnt appear i the list when I type
adb devices
fastboot devices
Can anyone tell me what to do to get CM12 on the m/c and working???
btw, managed to break out of the bootloop but it will just start again when turned off and on.
Thanks in advance.
From what you said, you're not in recovery mode. You're in bootloader mode.
In bootloader mode device doesn't support touchscreen, you need to use volume up/down and power to select option.
To get out of bootloop and go to recovery:
1. Power down your device (hold power for few seconds)
2. Boot into recovery mode (hold Volume Down + Power)
3. Navigate to recovery (Using Vol up/down and selecting option by pressing power button)
Hello there,
i am trying to install lineageos onto my old nexus 4. so far i used the offical installation instructions.
i go into fastboot with volume down + power
it says: secure boot - enabled and lock state - unlocked at the bottom of the screen
then i use fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-mako.img to flash recovery.
then i use the volume down button to select "recovery mode" and press the power button to confirm it.
then the screen turns black and nothing happens.
i tryed the two older versions from twrp with no luck. any other ideas?
Hello i installed on my Rooted and Bootloader Unlocked Oneplus 6t the pixlify module
Then i clicked restart and now i can only see the Dark Google Boot animation
I Already Tried :
Turning off (restart) while pressing power and volume up to go intop Recovery (TWRP)
Its just not working i cant get into twrp
What happens Exactly after i pressed : power and volume up
Phone restarts
I see the Bootloader Warning
And then again the Boot Animation
Volume up + Power combination boots into bootloader not recovery, recovery combination is Volume down + Power.
Anyway you can't even boot to bootloader? Or it restarts after booting to bootloader?

You need to delete this module, you shouldn't install any magisk module without reading what they do or how they work.
It's perfectly stated in the repo that pixelfy isn't for OOS (Oxygen OS).
You need to boot into TWRP recovery, If your device is detected on your PC try adb reboot recovery
Or if it's detected in fastboot/bootloader then use fastboot boot twrp.img (Replace twrp.img with your image location and name)
If it's not detected try fastboot continue (You may have to spam this command for a couple of times)
Note: To run these commands you may want to install your device specific driver and adb tools. You can get the driver from here.
If you successfully booted into TWRP then flash pixelify zip again to completely uninstall it.
