Hey guys, I was going about trying to flash a rom and accidentally erased system and then tried to flash a corrupted rom. Obviously I ended up with no OS and no way of sending a file over to the internal storage. I tried all the Nexus 4 stock restore, all utilities. Everything.
Nothing has worked. I can flash the recovery easily but no way of getting a rom onto the internal and if I boot into OS, it will Loop the X symbol.

You can flash a recover, but can't flash stock? That's odd. So no fastboot?

The strange part is, Fastboot works perfect. Only issue is with the Stock rom boot-looping on the X. And the kernel is stock. Is there software that will completely bomb the phone and revert it back to complete stock?

My Nexus is stuck in a boot loop.
Trying to load into the ROM will leave me stuck at the Google logo but the unlocked pad(bootloader unlocked). Trying to get into recovery mode will do the same thing. I can temp boot into TWRP using wugs toolkit
I have some very important videos on my Nexus 7 that I would like to recover before flashing the stock ROM
Can anyone tell me the steps to recover when in my position?
Thanks

2 days ago i flashed android 4.3 on my nexus 7, after using it for a while i noticed that the total space is 6.02 gb on my 32gb model.
i looked for this problem online and found someone who the same thing happened to him while flashing 4.2.2.
the answer was to wipe everything, data and internal storage. so i did it and the same problem repeated , i flashed android 4.2.2 back but the same thing happened. how can i solve it?
Follow the instructions in this thread, post #10. It will fix you right up. It is the proper commands to flash through fastboot that will get the memory right.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776860
Of course, change the bootloader and system image versions to correspond to the 4.3 values. Eg 4.23.

Formatting your internal through recovery will correct it.

Actually, it wont. It is an issue that can happen when fastboot incorrectly formats the system and gives it the wrong size, making the remaining unusable. Recovery will read it incorrectly also, and only format the space marked as useable. Re-doing by using the correct fastboot commands is really the only way to get the whole thing back to useable and active.

Do a factory reset from within stock recovery

Yes it will as this has happened to me on several occasions after flashing 4.2.2 and 4.3. Reformatting reliably corrected it each time.
formatting storage DOES NOT solve this problem
i have a 32gb which is showing 6gb free, I've completely wiped it and tried 5 different custom roms plus stock kitkat and stock lollipop and I can't solve the problem...

Was running CM10.1 stable and encrypted my phone. Hated the performance problems, went to roll back and factory reset did not work in either Android or CWM. Since everything was encrypted I had to reformat /system, /cache, and /sdcard. CWM and fastboot work just fine, but I still can't mount /sdcard :/. Should I sideload a rom or what? How do I get my device fully working again?

well I loaded up the toolkit so I could easily flash 4.2.2 stock. It wouldn't have been much of a problem but my phone is my alarm and I'm not home so I'm working with very limited resources. so it's fixed now by using the toolkit and flashing stock.
thanks for the reply

So when I try to install the new 4.4 update it is stuck on the rebooting now screen, It has been there for 20 minutes. I am unlocked and rooted if that makes a difference. Also I tried to flash thunderkat and that also failed in twrp. I have no clue why. Just seeing if anyone might have an answer for my problem.

I had exactly the same, you must exit out of bootloop, factory reset then continue. WUGS NRT for N10 tells you to do it and how and when. I've only had this issue on N10, not my N7 or N4.

Huh? Are you updating? Don't. Do fresh stock install. Then unroot with no custom recovery. Then install custom recovery.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
In the mean time, you can return to normal by reflashing the cm nightly/stable ROM you were running when you tried to update to 4.4. I had the same issue, but managed to reflash the stable cm 10.2 zip and my nexus began to function again.

But also I would like to know how to go about reflashing stock and undoing root without permanently losing my game data. From what I understand, a nandroid backup would take care of all of that for me?

Flash the latest Factory image via fastboot. There is a way tot modify the flash-all.bat so it wont wipe any data.

Yes.
So? I backup myself and restore myself, using LAN file-server for small files and a USB drive for large files.
There is more time wasted in trying to keep data and settings than the time it takes to re-enter.
I recently fixed an infamous bootloop i had by letting the battery die 100% (yeah I know it is bad), and then it booted. Well i went to flash a new rom and it never rebooted. I then went to flash stock from google. Still a bootloop. tried like 3 roms, still a loop. I then tried the killing my battery thing. Still a loop. Please, i know the phone isn't hard bricked, is there anything else i can do to boot it other than just flashing stock and factory resetting. Thanks.
Another thing, when i try to flash 4.2.2 the phone doesn't go to the boot logo.
Anybody? I need to fix this phone soon.

Then you have an issue with your device. What happens if you lock the bootloader and then reboot? Does it stay locked or is it still unlocked?

Yep, if it didn't your emmc flash memory would be bad. I'd try re-downloading the factory image and trying again. Are you using the flash-all.bat to flash? You might try flashing all the components separately and see if any of them fail.

None of the flashes failed. I have tried redownloading and i have also checked the md5's, so i dont think that would be it. I have also tried reformatting through twrp, and then flashing stock. Still nothing.
flashing 4.4.4 separately got me on the starting apps step, but that seems to be the place where it gets stuck.
I need to decide if i wanna take another month trying to fix the nexus 4 or just get the nexus 5. Nothing is working and i think i should just leave it now. But at the same time, i just wanna fix it so i don't have to spend money on a new phone. I have run out of things to try and revive the phone so i don't know what to do anymore.

there's must be a way cause you can boot on 4.4.4 but unfortunately i'm not that good in these kind of problems
but i hope you can find the cure soon
You can obviously get into flashboot, have you tried booting the latest twrp, wiping /system /data /cache and sideloading something different, like Paranoid Android?
Bootloop fix
First thing is that you have use Wug's Tool and flash the 4.3 stock image. In the Wug's tool select the option 'SOFT BRICK or BOOTLOOP' option and then flash the stock image in the fastboot mode. Definitely, I hope the phone will launch without any problem. The same problem I had faced with my nexus 4 and I flash the 4.3 stock image with the help of Wug's tool. Try it I hope it will fix the problem.
