Bootloop with 4.3 ota - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I was on 4.2.2 stock, not root when I received ota. After upgrade I stuck in the X boot loop.
If I try to install the 4.3 with fastboot I've the same result
If I restore the 4.2.2 with fastboot I haven't any problem
Please help me, I don't know what its happening with my phone
Best regards

I have same problem , started my OTA 4.3 upgrade 40mins back . My phone keeps restarting with "installing system update ". Any idea how can i stop this ?

Update seems to have finished, bootloops after inputting user password to unlock screen. It's a short boot right back to the password screen again.
Was stock, rooted, unlocked, 4.3 was OTA update

I got really lucky somehow, in getting the phone to work and managing to keep my data.
I don't remember every step in order, as I'm sure lots of them didn't do anything, but eventually I just reflashed every part of the factory images EXCEPT userdata.img as I (correctly?) figured that would erase my ****.
Wiped cache a few times from recovery as well.
Had a couple scares - at one point the LED turned RED during a couple bootup attempts.
First time after the 3rd round of flashing (including system.img) it would not boost past the X. Had to wipe cache in recovery again.

Exact same problem with N4. Have ota'd Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 no problems...

Update:
After waiting about 10-15 mins I eventually reset the phone by holding down the power button for 10 secs. It then moved to the "updating apps" screen and eventually rebooted to the Nexus "X" logo. But it hung at it the X logo for about 15 mins. I again lost patience and restarted again. It finally booted all the way up to the lock screen. I now have 4.3 and it seems to be running fine...

Just wanted to share my experience as I had the same problem. It kept saying 'installing system update...' in a loop. Then I pressed the power button. It got turned off. I turned it back on and it got stuck at X logo.
Then I booted it up in recovery mode. It again said installing system update but only once and then it started updating apps and all went fine.

I know the solution for everyone who is having Nexus 4 kit kat update stuck on bootin

Or the error that says finishing boot and its stuck there and then when you force close its stuck on boot animation
Here is what I did and this will work for everyone you need to go into safemode and when there you need to restore the settings and then click wipe all data
all this does is wipes your apps and data so it can boot fresh.
It is possible like mine to be stuck in boot loop again after doing this.
Wait 5 minutes and if its still stuck in boot loop then force close it by holding down power button again wait 5 seconds and turn it back on and wait a few minutes and it will boot guaranteed.
this method works on not just my N4 but 3 other people had the exact problem and it worked.
In my case next launcher was causing it not to boot.

[Q] I somehow lost my recovery?

So I was running CWM (Philz) I believe, and I had been running into issues while on rooted 4.2.2 D800 stock ROM. There were force closes and random reboots, etc. I've only installed xposed mods. I've also used android tuner to adjust some of the build.prop and kernel presets.
However, after my phone got stuck in what I thought was a boot loop, I finally got it up and running. What happened next was odd. I tried booting into recovery -> the "LG" splash screen showed up and it went into another infinite boot loop.
I'm assuming I somehow corrupted or lost my recovery. Any advice on what to do? I don't know if I should follow the original instructions for flashing a recovery here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150.
Edit: Jesus christ my phone infuriates and confuses the hell out of me. After attempting to enter the recovery again, I am now stuck in a permanent boot loop. The last time I fixed it was by turning my phone off....and then *WAITING*.
What? That doesn't make sense you say? Of course it doesn't. But that's still what worked. I waited 12 hours, and then tried turning it on again. When I did, oh look, the AT&T screen!
CONFUSING. help please...
Double edit (Hard Mode): Going into download mode when I'm in this constant bootloop = nothing happens. That little icon that says "Download Mode" with the 5 blue circles just stays there, and my laptop ends up not recognizing anything. This happened the last time too, and all I was able to see on my laptop was "QHSUSB_BULK". I thought this meant that I would have to do a complete wiping process through Linux (found on another thread somewhere), but apparently waiting 12 hours also fixed the problem.

[Q] Nexus 7(2012) stuck in fast boot mode, bricked?

Have a standard Nexus 7(2012), 18m old. OTA upped to Android 4.4.4. a month+ ago. Never rooted. From then on it has lasted a week or less before freezes/reboots while using apps or even nothing at all.
Have undertaken boots to fastboot mode (android on its back, door open but no red triangle) and then entered recovery mode to wipe system cache and then do a factory reset. This sometimes progresses thru startup restoring apps ok. Sometimes it crashes part way thru. Often get background Chrome and Maps crashes of late as it redownloads my old apps.
Google HW support line recommended this course of action until last time when desperate Indian woman out of her depth tried to say it was a hardware fault and palmed me off on Ausus(uk) saying they did a 2yr warranty... which I think they don't. Still to investigate that one.
The reboots kicked off again today. So did the usual: did a cache clear then factory reset and it restarted. Now it crashed while the Android coloured balls still rotating! And forcing into fast mode to do a 2nd factory reset failed as when I select Recovery Mode it now says "Booting failed" in small letters at the top and dumps u back in Recovery mode, though less the Android logo on its back. Cannot restart bootloader either, same error. Rebooting just freezes with "Google" displayed.
Have I "bricked it" somehow. How to I get past this?
As a novice, I have got Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.5and tried to reflash to stock 4.4.4 rom on it. But bootloader is locked, as it is delivered, and it will not unlock it. (read from The Definitive Guide on How to Restore Your Nexus 7 Tablet (Even if You've Bricked It from nexus7 wonderhowto site)
Anyone got any info on what to do here? Better reflash tool/instructions? Is it hardware problem? Do Asus uk do a 2yr warranty that I need after 18months? Is this tablet permanently a dead parrot?
Any help, I am desperate here. Thanks

Nexus 10 powers off during boot screen

Hey all,
Just some details before the background.
I was running a stock with a unlocked bootloader for a while now. I basically only use my nexus now to watch netflixs and HBOgo. Got the tablet over four years ago.
This morning after it's nightly charge I went to unlock it and it froze up. I rebooted it, noticed the date was off (Jan 1st) and froze after I unlocked it. Reboot again, it made it to the screen where it was optimizing my apps but the screen starting flickering and having artifacts, and powered off. Now it will power itself off 5 or so seconds into the boot animation.
I've tried going into recovery via the bootloader but when I select it and hit the power button it just turns it self off. I then used the nexus toolbox to reflash a stock rom (along with a factory reset), and TWRP. I tried booting up again and same thing. I then went into TWRP and start troubleshooting, but the screen is starting to flicker and have artifacts, then powers off.
Is the hardware dead on this?
Sorry for the jumbled mess of details, i've been bouncing around trying to troubleshoot/fix this.
PIT files
PIT files
My nexus 10 has the boot loop problem and I think I have been left with the only option of Re-Partition but I need the PIT file. Can anybody help or provide this file?
I have tried everything else (fastboot, adb, temporary custom recoveries, Nexus Root Toolkit) with no success.
Is the battery original? If so, it's possible the battery could be reaching its end.

Nokia 5 stuck at boot screen

My Nokia 5 suddenly got stucked at boot screen where it shows "Nokia" in a black background. I haven't done anything like downloading malicious apps/rooting. Just today a system update appeared and I haven't clicked it yet. Its getting hot.
I was using cleanit inside shareit to clean the cache then suddenly my phone hang so I pressed the power button then it doesn't open. After a few seconds it opened and showed that "Nokia" boot screen. I haven't touched the system update yet since I'm not connected to a wifi.
What can I do with this? Non-removable battery and should I just wait for it to get drained or what? It's the global version from Saudi Arabia
Fixed by soft reset
So, I tried to soft reset it by plugging it, press/hold vol up + power btn at the same time. I restarted properly. But still, I don't know why that happened, is it advisable for me to system update?
I have an update this morning and it works well, just update ok. Poor you.
