[Q] Did I brick my Nexus 4?

Hi,
Last night i was playing with my N4 (with some root applications) and an app asked for a reboot. I just pressed yes so that the phone will reboot (I have done this earlier without any issues). Suddenly the device doesn't boot up. My N4 is stuck at a black screen. While trying to boot up, the Google logo appears and then a black screen. It doesn't advance to the 'X' logo. I'm running on stock, rooted phone (used N4 toolkit by Wugfresh to root).
I'm able to boot into recovery although. I tried all the possible means, wiped cache, dalvik cache, did a factory reset, backed up the system and tried to restore the same. Nothing happened.
Then i tried the "Back to Stock" option in the N4 toolkit and chose the option "Soft-brick/Bootloop" to recover my N4. These are what happened:
Downloaded the 4.2.2 image from Google servers and tried to flash in the device with prior instruction from the toolkit. Everything went fine until the flashing process. In the last step the CMD window opens up saying it is unrooting and flashing stock and immediately it'll bring up a complete message saying the flashing is complete and to wait until the device boots up. But nothing happens again.
I tried the automatic flashing and on the downloading window it saying download failed and hash checks failed meaning its not downloading.
I searched all the possible threads in a day to find a similar problem but in vain. I'm not a noob but i'm too lazy . But i would do anything to bring my N4 back to life. Anyone please show me a direction.
In short:
Status: Soft-Bricked (guess so), black screen after Google logo
Version: Stock 4.2.2 (rooted+busybox+supersu+twrp)
Able to boot to recovering: Yes, bootable to recovery and bootloader.
Tried Nexus toolkit recovery: Yes but in vain.
Gave up: No and never, I'm searching and searching for answers and I'm worried if I'll end up in a hard brick. :crying:
Guys, please help.
Thank You!

I'm just taking a wild guess here - I'm not responsible if anything bad happens, and you might want to wait to someone else seconds my suggestion in any case (although I can't imagine things getting worse as long as you flash N4 stuff). But have you tried flashing a new boot.img/reset kernel from recovery or via fastboot/toolkit?

Err...nope I haven't tried any and will wait until someone seconds you. Meanwhile I have wiped off the ROM through the option in recovery. Still will I be able to do what you said? Also if could direct me to a "how-to" thread would be great. Just that I don't wanna mess up again.

Also, is there a way to transfer a ROM to N4 through fastboot? So that I can install the ROM through TWRP.

No, my suggestion would require that the ROM is still on the phone, so you should restore your ROM prior to my suggestion. And I'm by no means an expert (therefore the disclaimer), but I *think* that since it's a bootup problem, it could be solved by flashing a new boot.img (which is essentially flashing a new kernel to the system).
But yeah, let's see if others think this might help, haven't researched it, is at work right now. Just throwing in a suggestion, that's all...

I *think* (again, I'm totally not sure about this, as I haven't tried it) that you can sideload a ROM via zip file from recovery, but since I haven't tried it I'm not sure - can anybody confirm???
EDIT: Chromium's suggestion is better, by pushing the ROM.zip to the device and flashing from recovery (check md5 first, just in case).

Yes there is. Your nexus is not bricked and this is why you shouldnt use toolkits to do things. This is honestly an extremely easy and simple fix. Use adb to push a rom onto the n4.
Code:
adb push \path\to\rom.zip /sdcard
Boot into recovery, do a full wipe, and flash the rom.

You said you downloaded the Google images.
Just boot your phone into the bootloader and run the flashall.bat that is in the Google image folder.
Note this will probably fully wipe you're phone in the process

Okay, thanks guys. I'm on it. Will let you know when I'm done.

That same thing happened to me once. I had to extract the google file and look for the 4 img files(bootloader, system, userdata, recovery) and flash them with toolkit manually and it fixed it, but it erased everything on my sd

I tried to load the file "occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tar" into my phone using the ADB sideload feature in the toolkit. I don't have the SDK installed hence I depended the tool again. But now the tool only loads .zip file and not .tar as the one that i downloaded. Am I doing it right?

K if you have a custom recovery installed, there isnt much you need to do to fix the issue.
First setup adb/fastboot by reading this
Then boot the phone into recovery, and plug it into the computer. Open a new command prompt window and use adb like this:
Code:
adb push \path\to\rom.zip /sdcard
Then you can unplug the phone. From recovery go to the install menu, find the rom that you just pushed, and flash it.

No the tar wont work through recovery. You should download a rom from here or here.
If you want to flash the stock rom through recovery you can download it here.

[Q] Unable to Flash Nexus 7

hello everyone..
In serious need of help here and hope someone can help..
Due to the massive battery drain issue I have been having, I tried to flash the original stock rom on my nexus 7 and
things have gone downhill really bad..
in the past, I flashed using this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796)
without any problems but last night.. I encountered errors when trying to flash the bootloader
and radio IMG files.. neeedless to say when it comes to flashing the rom in, it came out with errors and my nexus remain OS-less
the errors when trying to flash the bootloader and radio are
"failed (command write failed (Invalid Argument))"
can anyone help me?
p.s :- if anyone can even suggest me a easier way to flash custom roms in and so forth, your suggestion will be most welcomed..
also, I did try wug's rootkit plus the nexus 7 toolkit or something, both came out errors too when too do any flashing in relating to
the bootloader or system.. thanks

Why were you trying to flash the bootloader? Were you trying to update to 4.18?

actually, my bootloader boots fine, it shows tilapia 4.18.
so does this mean I dont have to flash it?
if I dont have to flash the bootloader, do I have to flash the radio?
sorry, kind of a noob in these things..

Anyway, is it normal for the bootloader flash attempt to fail?

No, it's not normal for it to fail.
You really don't need to flash either unless one of them is screwed up or you are upgrading to a newer version. Bootloader flashes are risky anyway. To avoid flashing them, you can either remove code from the updater script or remove them from the factory image files entirely.

Try to unlock your bootloader before flashing image with the command:
fastboot oem unlock

Then it sounds like something happened to your system partition that should not have happened.
Are you sure the system image you're trying to flash is valid, do the md5 sums match?
How about flashing another system image?
Or flash a custom recovery, and install a new ROM from there?

As a rule, don't do anything with a toolkit that you don't know how to do yourself with the relevant fastboot or ADB commands. It has a nasty tendency of leaving you in a lurch.
I noticed that your last run of Wug's toolkit did claim to successfully flash your recovery. Have you been able to access it from the fastboot menu on the device? If so, that's a major step forward.
Perhaps most importantly (based on your mentioning of tilapia earlier), are you 100% certain that you are trying to flash the factory image for your model of the Nexus 7?

Yes, I am absolutely sure it is the image for my nexus 7.. which is 3g/wifi model, not just wifi only..
image file is downloaded using wug's rootkit too..
file name = nakasig-jdq39-factory-0798439d.tgz
as the snapshot shows.. it keeps showing failed when "sending system"
please tell me you have an idea on why it keeps failing there...
*crosses fingers*
p.s :- after that (numerous) wug's toolkit attempt to flash back stock rom, I tried booting to recovery and it shows the android on its back with a red exclamation mark on its open body chasis

I'm assuming you haven't tried this yet, if you have tried this just ignore.
1 - Download - http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/grouper/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-grouper.img
2 - fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-grouper.img
If flashes fine:
Power off Nexus, Hold Volume down and Power on, keep holding power down until you get to recovery.
Then:
Either - Get a USB OTG and put a ROM on a USB Stick, go to "install" - "Use external storage" find the rom and flash it.
or
Plug in to PC whilst in recovery, - Mount Storage - Now the Nexus should pop up on PC, Drag ROM to Nexus. Unmount and then try to flash.
Let me know how you get on with this.
Regards.

That's because you have stock recovery installed now and it's unable to verify that your device is in working order, hence the red mark. Find TWRP for your device, download the .img and try to flash it with fastboot flash recovery <path-to-recovery.img>. Since you can at least get into a recovery, it's possible you'll be able to use onboard recovery tools to see what state your internal partitions are in.
Until there's a little more info available, there's nothing I can say that's not pure conjecture.

PLEASE HELP!!! Phone stuck in bootloop, will not boot. Will not boot into recovery.

I've had my Moto X Pure for over a few months now. After rooting it, i installed TWRP 3.0.2 and have had different roms and not come across any problems regarding a hard brick. I was using my phone on the CM 13 Rom, and it was bugging out, so i tried to reboot. After trying to reboot, it would come to the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN and not boot past that, let alone get into the actual loading screen. Now, i cant boot into twrp. When i try to enter recovery mode, it goes to the TWRP screen, and sits there without proceeding. I cant boot the phone, or boot into recovery. I can only boot into the bootloader. ANY AND EVERY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED THANK YOU!!!
Edit: I fixed it. had to manually extract and reflash some files from a very useful restore to stock tool.

Can you get it into fastboot mode? If you can, it sounds like somehow the recovery is corrupt and you would need to use 'fastboot erase recovery' first, and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' (using the twrp .img flashable file of course)
I hope that does the trick. Only think I can think of other than that is look for the automated return to stock tool for the moto x 2015 and use that.

thanks

I honestly have no idea what the problem was. But i downloaded and used someones lollipop restore to stock tool, literally restoring to the original state you got the phone in, and it worked. I believe it had something to do with the rom, and possibly some xposed modules i had installed, but there was nothing that actually messed around with the phone's system files. I couldn't access recovery in anyway whatsoever, but my advice to you is that if you ever need help because the phone is potentially hard-bricked, see if it connects to PC and if it does use the restore to stock tool.

Nothing it just vibrates as soon as i hit factory reset then bootloops now it wont even go into recovery just fastboot screen but cant get fastboot to work at all and have all drivers android studio etc. Nothing will work need a new solution

It was hash kernel it corrupted all 64 gigs of storage and music etc. Had to return to stock via auto flash firmware.

Mine is XT1572 device. Since the mentioned tool was not available for this model, I took the chance with XT1575 tool. It did all the steps but the issue has become worse. Now, my device is automatically getting On and OFF in seconds and does not boot beyond the bootloader 'unlocked' warning screen. Please please please help !!!!

Bootloop Help After Trying To Root 7.1.1

So I flashed the 7.1.1 update and everything was fine. I then tried to root through TWRP with the most recent version of recovery and and SuperSu and when I went to reboot it would get to the "Google" splash screen and go back to the warning. I then tried to restore to my Nandroid that I made right before the 7.1.1 flash but it does the same thing. I ended up doing a factory reset, still looping. I tried flashing an old firmware but it still would loop. I got desperate and did a full wipe and then flashed the old firmware from September's update but it still will not boot. I'm a long time lurker I just don't post much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Well if you cant access twrp then your not flashing anything; did you try downloading the latest Nexus 6p factory image and using adb to flash it?? If you need help with that I can lay it out for you. Also there was an efs partition issue with twrp 3.0.2-1 and down so make sure your twrp is 3.0.2-2!

Make sure your using twrp 3.0.2-2; and download the latest factory image for the Nexus 6p (NBD90X) and use adb (fastboot) to flash that whole thing. Extract the files to your android sdk platform tools folder then run the flash-all.bat file. (If you are using a 64gb or 128gb device DONT DO THIS) Only do this with the 32gb model.

Have you tried WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit? Not sure if it will work for your situation, but it has an option to restore to factory settings and unroot if you're soft-bricked or bootlooped. Might be worth a shot if everything else isn't working.

FWIW, I successfully updated to 7.1.1 NPF10C and rooted by using fastboot to flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor. Then used TWRP 3.0.2-2 to flash SuperSU 2.78 SR1. No issues.

No luck on this either.

Phone has no OS at all after rooting

After doing the root method located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/instruction-to-root-h918-10i-t3536472 my phone only boots into twrp and only has the twrp file on it. When i try to reboot into system it just sends me right back into twrp. I have no idea how that happened and i might of done the impossible but, is there any way to fix it? It's a T-Mobile 10j V20
Update: Tried installing therom from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-maximum-ovrdrive-lg-v20-v2-0-t3518475 and yet it still only shows twrp folder and wont boot to the start screen

i will, but one last question. is flashing a rom the same as installing something like SuperSU where i just select install and then the zip?

Yeah, MEGAROM wise it will take you into aroma installer which you can choose exactly what you want, like you can chose to flash magisk or supersu, lg sounds or pixel etc... Of everything else fails then just grab kdz file and flash through lg up

That is awesome! I hope it finally works and lets me see that beautiful start screen

It did not, and LGUP isnt working with a Failed to load error (5)

sounds like ur in a twrp loop.. are you checking to see if system is getting mounted in twrp?
there are a few ways to fix a twrp loop, try booting into recovery using the vol down method, and see if just hitting reboot works,
if not, fastboot commands that address this would be fastboot erase etc; fastboot erase misc ; fastboot erase fota ; and then reboot and see if it boots.
be aware boot up times take a lot longer then usual when you root, as the aboot is a little slower.
you could also try the twrp file manager route and delete the above directories also, etc/misc/fota/cache
if you have never done a FORMAT data with twrp you need to do that 1st and remove encryption as the stock rom is encrypted and will not boot after root.
Wipe using format data, type yes, then wipe the directories i mentioned and then flash the stock rom mentioned by the other member then reboot and let it sit for 15min. If it dosn't instantly shoot you back to twrp then ur good, just wait wait wait for that long 1st boot to complete.
