If you're stuck at Nexus logo, you're in no way bricked. Worst case is your ROM can't boot, which is easily fixable. Boot to fastboot mode (Power button+vol down), and via your toolkit you can factory reset a new stock rom. Or possibly flash another pre-rooted rom. As long as you can get to fastboot mode, you're all good.

thanks so much man...how long does the initial boot take after rooting installing cwm busy box and all? i did the 1 click all...

Honestly, I don't know. Sometimes initial boot can take up to 5 minutes, but if it's longer than that, changes are something is not working. You could try going to recovery and factory reset and clear caches once more, and reboot again. Else I would try re-flashing stock rom. I haven't tried 1-click all method, I did it one single step at a time...

wow dude clearing cache and a factory reset worked...i love you lol

is it ok to now install a custom rom?

Flash all you want
Make a complete nandroid backup first, so you can always revert back to a working rom, just in case.
As long as you stick with flashing N4 roms on the N4 (!!) and follow instructions, you should be good.

Bricked S4?

So I have been trying to get multiple roms to work and it seems as only the TouchWiz roms worked for me (getting LTE) Jellybean wouldn't let me connect to any LTE but gave me data.
So I tried to do a few wipes, I deleted my backups (like an idiot) and now I'm stuck with just being able to get into TWRP.
I get into TWRP factory reset and wipe everything then do a internal wipe and install a rom the rom installs but when i go to reboot the rom it gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen and won't move.
What do I do?
I just want to have a jellybean rom...
I can get into TWRP
How long have you let it boot? The first boot can take a long time.

You need to read about TWRP before using it. You should not be wiping "everything" with it.

yeah i can i never used odin before.
if i do this will i be able to re-root? or will it update me to mf3?
EDIT: i just let it sit there and got my old recovery back. im on tw 4.2.2 goldeneye. let me check if i can reboot it without it getting stuck.
EDIT2: ok i just let it reboot and it now reboots fine..
I have read 3 of your posts, you really need to start reading before you go any further...if your phone boots on 4.2.2 GoldenEye, stop there until you find more information on what you are trying to do. If you don't you will for sure be using Odin soon, may want to read up on that also...
Good luck.
BTW, you do not need to make a different thread for every question, go back to one of the threads you started, and ask ALL of your questions there...

[Q] Help! Nexus 4 stuck in bootloop after 4.4 update.

Hi guys,
I tried to update my Nexus 4 to 4.4 when Google pushed the update out for it yesterday, I forgot I had unlocked the phone (I don't have any custom ROMs on it, just SuperSU.)
Every time I try and power it on, the loading screen is endless, although I can hold power and volume down to enter recovery mode, nothing seems to be working.
I am a bit of a novice so any help or suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thanks.
The first few pages of the forum is littered with posts like this, i was in the same situation.
What i did was download the 4.3 rom from google, and flash /boot and /system onto the phone. I suspect the 4.4 rom would also work.
This got the phone booting without harming (most of) my data, but much of the UI was mangled and didnt work properly. I tried to backup my images over USB but it didnt work, you might have a better result. I also wanted to backup my SMS but they had all vanished.
I rebooted the phone to recovery (TWRP) and used adb to backup the sdcard (adb pull /sdcard sdcard) then did a full flash using the 4.4 rom downloaded from google and that got it working again. Then i reflashed the latest version of TWRP recovery and SuperSU.
Hope that helps.
That's really helpful, thanks! Is there ANY chance of a step-by-step? I'm a complete 'noob' probably a mistake to root in the first place :crying:
If you're busy don't worry, just don't want to **** things up more than I have haha.
Thanks, appreciate it.

If somebody is facing boot loop after kitkat update on nexus 4 and no data backup can try to go to safe mode and backup their data. To goto safe mode on boot screen just keep pressing up and down volume button for some time phone will get into safe mode and can be backed up.
Hi,
It also happened to me, dont know if it is related to having ROOT or not, but i had to manually flash factory image (4.4) and it worked. I flashed everything except userimage.img but on first boot it took like 15 minutes to reboot and then all my personal data (photo, music...) was gone....
So just be cautious before upgrading!

I had sideloaded a rom in recovery so that it will replace the lost system.img on my phone. Then, it booted up and I flashed back factory images the usual way. Everything is running smoothly again.

[Q] Help! Phone bricked itself trying to update. Factory Reset isn't helping!

Last night my phone wanted to update to 4.4.4 because it's been wanting to for a while, but I know it wouldn't work because my phone is rooted. It had tried this at least 3 times before and everything was fine; download update, tries to install, fails, boots right back up. I wanted to get rid of the Update notification in the top bar, so I just ran it again thinking it'd be okay. Well, this time it bricked my phone, leaving me at a neverending loop at the boot animation. I first tried to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, which did nothing. Then I tried a factory restore, which also did nothing. Then I reinstalled the stock 4.4.3 rom I had been using, which did nothing. Then I wiped the SD card completely and reinstalled a stock 4.4.4 rom through sideload, which has done nothing. My phone just sits at the boot animation and taunts me. Worse yet, I have a 16-hour drive tomorrow and my phone was going to be the majority of my sanity during that time.
What should I do?? Is there anything I can do? Normally I would just contact Google to get a replacement (I've done this before when the 4.2 update was causing a lot of bricks,I think it was 4.2 anyway, I forgot) but I'd like to have a working phone for my 16 hour trip..... if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Well, I never had heard of any devices that still stuck in the bootanimation after flashing the factory image. There is something really wrong.
Did you already tried flashing a custom rom? Can you boot into recovery?

I had a Vanir 4.4.3 rom on my phone that I tried to flash as well, but for some reason it went right into "Optimizing Apps" after the first boot, something I hadn't seen before. Then it got stuck at "Starting Apps...", then after a restart, it too was stuck at the boot animation.
I can boot into recovery luckily, but that's all I can do. I have CWMR v6.0.3.5. I've tried just about everything I can think of. [edit] I was able to contact Google for some live chat support and am now #2 in the queue. Hopefully they can either help me or get a replacement going. Either way, I'd still love any help you guys can give me, I'd really like to get it fixed rather than waiting for a replacement.
Okay, try this: Wipe everything via recovery and with everything i mean really everything! Cache, dalvik, storage, your whole system. There must be nothing left on your phone. Then flash a rom of your choice. Wipe cache and dalvik afterwards and see if it works

I've done that already, Factory Reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + format system/data/cache/sdcard/data/media. The phone was completely bare and that's when I sideloaded the stock 4.4.4 rom (otherwise it's stuck at the Google boot screen). I'll try it again, though.
Okay right now I'm using the Nexus Toolkit to flash the stock 4.4.4 .tgz image directly from google and unroot my phone (checking the option that the phone is Soft-bricked/Bootloop.
....Okay that finished and I'm still stuck at the boot animation and now I don't have CWMR. ****. [EDIT] But I can still boot into a custom recovery through the toolkit, which is good.

Damn, I really am stumped right now. That's really strange. Normally everything should be fine after a factory reset...
I've search several threads with bootloop problems, but none of them have this persistent bootloop. I believe you have damage your storage somehow, so that the system can't read the files and boot up properly. Maybe because of this 4.4.4 OTA update. Man, that's kinda sucks right now...

Hm, I didn't think I'd need to with the factory image, but I'll try that. I tried the 4.4.3 factory image as well but that didn't work either. I also can't find anything about the LG Flashtool that's Nexus 4 specific, but I'll try to look more into it.
Wait, how do I flash the binaries since they're .tgz files?

This is really strange man. Flashing stock ROM is the last resort but even that seems to be failing for you.
Have you tried downloading the stockRom again (just to make sure it isn't corrupted). Also, maybe you can try using TWRP instead of CWM this time.
Good luck.

No need to flash them, since you are on a factory image, sry.
Woah now, I've made progress! Maybe.... Anyway, in TWRP, I "fixed permissions" and mounted "system" but now I'm at the "Android is Upgrading, Optimizing Apps - Starting Apps" screen again (it only had to optimize 23 apps?). I was at this issue before when I was flashing roms last night trying to fix it, but going back to here is better than not getting it to boot at all. What else should I try next?
Note: I'm on the 4.4.4 factory image now and TWRP is just temporary through the Nexus Root Toolkit.

And? Did it boot up or just stuck in 'optimizing apps'? I would suggest to try another android version, like 4.3 or 4.4.2 at least.

What about custom ROM? Cyanogenmod maybe? Make sure to downlaod the M7-Release.
Hm, alright, I'll give that a shot.
On a side note, is there a way to lock the bootloader again while in either recovery or bootloader? I fear that if it's unlocked, I won't get the $250 refund for the replacement.

Note: The root used to simply work fine for about a month now.

I will have to call you out here buddy. If you have indeed tried to flash all factory images, you won't even have TWRP in the first place.
Go to this wonderful guide by the wonderful @Heisenberg, and scroll down to "10. How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)". You will find very clear instruction on how to return your phone to its factory stock state. This will most likely get rid of the problems you're facing.

No Root after factory reset

Root just disappeared.
This is not a huge problem but when I go to TWRP to reinstall SuperSU, I can't get to the files so I can't install SuperSU.
I have now a MegaPixel ROM with EX kernel and I want to go back to stock. With no root, kernel and recovery... Just don't know how to.

I don't think you can do a factory reset if you are on a custom Rom. Power down your phone by holding down the power button until the phone shuts down. Go into bootloader mode by pressing power and volume down buttons at the same time. Flash complete factory image from Google site using flash-all.bat command. If you don't know how to do that follow the XDA/Heisenberg guide only to the point where it shows you how to flash. Do not flash all the pieces individually like in the guide. Just use flash-all.bat command like Google suggests.

Use the link I posted above. Read it and follow the return to stock section. Like I mentioned earlier, that's a step by step guide to all things 6P. How to root, how to return to stock and everything in between. It has (or at least links you to) all the tools you need. It's a lot more thorough than I am, quite frankly. Just do your best to follow the return to stock section of the guide and if you run into any issues quote me again and let me know where you're stuck and I'll see if I can help. But you're asking for a step by step on how to recover and I've already provided you with a link with those exact steps. Good luck. Specifically steps 10 or 11 depending on if you want to keep your data intact.

I did all the steps in part 10 with angler 7.1.2
It was bootlooping for 5 minute or so. I turned the phone off (While it was bootlooping) and now when I try to boot I get a "No Command" with a opened Android screen. What should I do now?
Maybe I can still flash TWRP and do stuff there?

The no command screen with an Android on its back is stock recovery. When you see that, hold volume up and while holding volume up, press the power button. That'll get you inside stock recovery. From there you can factory reset. This will likely wipe your internal storage. I'm not exactly sure on that, but assume it does. If that's not an issue, do it and try booting again, but wait longer this time. Leave in on the charger and wait 10 minutes or so. If it still won't boot, try again with 7.1.1 factory images. Also if you're using the flash all .bat file try manually flashing each partition using fastboot.
Edit: If you didn't already, don't lock the bootloader. You won't be able to use fastboot or flash TWRP (if that's what you want to do) with it locked.

Sounds like it. That's not good, it sounds​ like a real issue here. How did this end up happening in the first place? You factory reset from TWRP and all this happened? That should have not made you boot loop. You should have been fine and booted and had to sign in again, etc.
Did you lock the bootloader?

Yeah if you're not on stock, don't factory reset from the system. Use TWRP. Try to fastboot flash TWRP back on the phone and see if you can boot to that.

TWRP works! OK that's a good sign (I think so...)
I wiped EVERYTHING (Dalvik/ART cache, cache, system, Data and internal storage)
I will probably try to flash stock now.

Flash stock minus recovery, leave TWRP. See if you can get it to boot. Try 7.1.1 if possible this time, though.

I think I know why 7.1.2 didn't boot
I have a EX kernel updated to march security. I should download a stock with march security or lower.
