Sorry I do not have enough permission to post in that Cyanogenmod thread. Pardon me.
Here is my issue...
Updated to 4.3 and realised camera and dialer does not work.
So I go back to 4.2.2. It got stuck at the rotating cyanogenmod boot.
Anyone can help? I do not want to lose all my apps data and files!
Thanks in advanced.

What do you think was going to happen? You can't dirty flash a new Rom, then dirty flash the old one.
This is what I would do:
Reflash 4.3 again in recovery ( this should let you boot back up into the OS)
Download Titanium and backup all apps + data
Go back to recovery
Factory reset your phone
flash 4.3 rom again
Flash the latest gapps from goo.im/gapps

ok i managed to get back on 10.2
But whenever I click on the Menu icon, I keep getting the error "Trebuchet has stopped.."
I have already clear the data and cache for Trebuchet as advised by many via Google. However, the problem persist.
Any idea?

Plug your phone into the computer
download this program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36499906
use this to backup all your apps + data to your computer
then do the factory reset.
You updated the bootloader and radio as well right?

Best solution will be a total wipe - you can either download stock factory image using android SDK tools or use one of the toolkits such as Wugfresh toolkit. If you can backup your photos and important stuff on your phone besides apps I would go for this
If you want to go back to 4.2.2. Flash factory image, root and flash CM 10.1.2 and if you would like to go for CM 10.2 nightlies than go for the 4.3 factory image. The Wugfresh toolkit will enable you both options. H&

so today when android 4.4 came out i really wanted it. so i was trying to unroot my nexus so i could get android 4.4, but every time i did a factory reset it was still rooted and on a custom rom. so i wiped pretty much EVERYTHING from my phone (from recovery mode) and now i have no os. can someone please help me??!?!?!? i have the N-cry toolkit, but when i put the rom files into the roms folder, nothing happens. it never works. I am so confused, i looked on other threads and they have very, well, general directions, and i have no idea what they are saying. something about pushing a rom with adb onto my phone? idk. please make it make sense for a noob like me. I dont know anything about this whole pushing thing, or sideload. please help me out guys it would be much appreciated! thank you!

Factory reset doesn't restore a backup of the stock ROM, it simply wipe data.
This is what you need to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Remember, you overwrite the stock ROM when you flash a custom ROM; the stock ROM is no longer on your device.
And you shouldn't use a toolkit (unless you know how to do it manually) - rooting isn't about having a quick fix to make your device cool, its about learning along the way and knowing what you are doing, and ending up with a better device at the end.

^^^^ he is so right... Now here is where you should start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 . Question - why are you unrooting to root again. Now you doing this caused you all these issues when you could of just waited for a rooted rom which there is a variant of KitKat in development already.
Hope you get it all working but in the future sit back and relax and wait for a developer to make a rom for you too flash.

i cant put any files onto my device, all i can do is recovery mode and fastboot. i cant install drivers to the phone or put anything on it. The commands dont do anything at all like "fastboot devices" i cant put any roms on it unless there is a different method than just copy and pasting.
EDIT****************
I asked my dad for some help and he helped me figure out the whole push files and adb thing. we were able to push cyanogenmod 10 and flash it. it worked out, and now im trying to put back the nandroid that i made before i wiped everything. but thanks guys for helping out and telling me to do the adb push thingy! thanks guys! sorry for being a n00b!!!
Hi, my phone acted weird today, been running custom room for over couple months without any problem, but then when i resart my phone today it got to the bootload screen and stuck there ever seen. I can able to go into custom recover and did a full wipe but nothing change, could anyone help me out? I have loki also. Using S4 ATT version.
Try wiping cache in your recovery

if you've done a full wipe and tried either re-flashing your rom or restoring a nandroid and neither was successful, you may need to consider going back to stock via odin and starting over.
i've never seen a phone run on the same rom and kernel settings for months and then just shut down and softbrick without something having been changed recently.

What recovery image are you running? You are not the only one that had this problem. I am trying to piece this together.
My 4.3 GS4 is soft bricked and bootlooped. I believe it is still rooted, though.
I have tried everything possible, but can't seem to fix it at all! For the past week I've only been seeing errors.
All I want is a normal phone again, I don't care if any data is wiped, or the root is gone, or if the apps are gone, I just want the phone back.
Please help!
Have you tried to return it to stock with odin? Also, do you know what firmware version you're on?
Sent from my Nexus 5
Since you're on 4.3, then you are most likely on MK2.
Try use odin to flash back to stock.

Good luck. :fingers-crossed:
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...

Yeah haha, it's really really strange. I appreciate you trying to help me, though! Lucky for me I'm getting a "One-time exception replacement" since my warranty is expired but they must be super stumped with the issue as well xD
I forgot something! Did you also flashed the 4.4.4 binaries?
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#makoktu84p
I also read somewhere, that the LG Fashtool may help.
Try this out!

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.

Jesus!
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.
