I searched all the internet and can't find any soliution to this.
Here are some examples (didn't find any of N4, but these are the same):
Some additional information:
It happens only on 4.3 or later (including 4.4 port) ROMs or stock OS.
It started when 4.3 came, i updated it officialy (my phone wasn't rooted/unlocked yet)
There were some times on 4.3 stock when it booted after half an hour, but I couldn't boot it again after next shutdown.
I can get to the recovery mode.
I tried to wipe everything, bring it back to factory state, but this thing still, happens. The only way I can use my phone is to have 4.2.2 ROMs/stock (I use cyanogenmod).
Any ideas on how to fix it?
EDIT: Solved by:
1. Flashing stock 4.2.2
2. Trying to officially update
3. Phone doesn't install the update, but goes to recovery instead?!?
4. Flashing official 4.3 with flash-all.bat
Man, you are lucky I saw this. This just happened to me today too and I freaked out. You need to download the radio from 4.2.2. Then manually fastboot install. Once you've done that everything works again and no more bootloop. I guess I accidentally wiped the firmware when installing 4.4. Anyways look for that and I promise you'll find it. I'll look for the post I found and post the link. I promise that's the issue.
I would recommend to download the toolkit and flash stock image. Make sure to backup all your files; it will wipe out everything.

Does your baseband show "Unknown" in the phone settings?
I had the same problem some weeks ago. Fixed it by flashing the stock 4.3 image again and again. The 3rd time it worked.

No, it shows the one I flash. Did you flash using flash-all.bat or in recovery or using adb, and which one jwr666y or jwr66v?

Flash-all.bat. The other way is through Fastboot. You can't install images through adb or recovery directly.

Hey guys
I thought I'd just let you all know that my ambition to get 4.3 and lack of knowledge, led to my phone getting bricked today. I'm so devastated. I was following efrant's guide and flashed everything correctly and then as usual I lost half my storage and I followed the other guide to restoring the lost storage, once again i followed everything but i didn't get the storage back, then i did some cmd commands like the guide did. Next thing you know I may have done something wrong and I was at the bootloader screen and I couldn't reboot or go to recovery. Read and read nothing helped, called Google and they couldn't help me. I am now getting a replacement. SO there you go guys, just the greed of getting 4.3 caused me to brick my phone as well as my lack of knowledge I guess. Can't complain. Thought I'd share this with you all.

P.S Moderators if this isn't suitable you guys can delete it no harsh feelings

In this particular situation i wont recommend you using a toolkit. Is much esier with a good guide if it fails with the toolkit (btw while i flashed 4.3 factory image the cmd told me also about "missing recovery and system.sig" but now ive got a fully working 4.3 ROM on my N4.
You can do it via ADB. You just setup ADB on your computer. And put all the files from the factory image in the "platform-tools" adb folder. If your phone is in the bootloader menu and its recognized by your computer you just run a file that is called "flash-all.bat" and it should flash the 4.2/4.3 image on your phone. Thats how i did it a few hours ago.
Have a look at this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
But remember all the files in this guide are for the Nexus 7 so use the N4 factory images and the proper commands for your device (i mean the last step of this guide which shows various commands. you shouldnt use them becuz they are for the N7 and the proper commands for the N4 are written in the "flash-all.sh" use those commands or use the "flash-all.bat" which is included in the 4.3 factory image [i dont know if its included in the 4.2. f.i.]. All those files have to be in the "platform-tools" folder in order to let the .batch file do its job.
I hope u understood what i wrote. If not let me know.

What about content on phone
I have also a phone that is dead after the upgrade. It was just "looping" on the "Updating Apps" screen, so I turned it off, now it won't start. When the "Nexus X" apperas, it just loops on this screen and nothing happens...
I would very much like to keep pictures and texts before resetting the phone! Can I do that in any way??

Flash ClockworkMod or TWRP and using one of them wipe cache, dalvik cache and data (not storage). Apps and settings will be gone, but your music and pictures will still be there.

Oh well you should look in one of those threads on how to root and so on, flashing a recovery using a toolkit should also work. Texts will be gone.
Or from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Note that some users indicate that they can't get past the X on boot. If this happens to you, reboot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, when you see the Android with the red exclamation mark, hold power and press volume up to take you to the menu. Wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset.

But at some point you'd need a custom recovery anyway.
My nexus 4 is rooted and is on 4.2.2 with rom paranoid android 3.5. Im not interested in root anymore. I want to update to 4.3. but everytime i try to update it ...it says 'verification failed'. Is there a way to update to 4.3 without going back to 4.2 unrooted nexus 4. I m passsed my modding days and dont have time to unroot it so looking an easy way to update to 4.3
thanks.
First thing this is not Q&A section. To update to 4.3 you have to be on stock rom since you on a custom ROM you'll have to flash the stock 4.3 images with fast boot
From my BLACKED OUT N4
So I tried THIS method... but in command prompt screen, it doesnt go beyond the second line of command prompt.
I also tried THIS method and i got stuck on installing the drivers.
I guess I need a really easy simple way of unrooting my phone.
I use "Nexus 4 toolkit" it works great you can do anything easy.. Just make sure it sees your phone while in android and fastboot (install the drivers with this toolkit)

Don't use the toolkit, learn to do it yourself. Which drivers are you using? I use the ones from the SDK, they work fine even on Windows 8.
Once they are installed, it's just a case of following efrant's guide after downloading the 4.3 factory image from Google. It's really not that hard if you're willing to take 10-20 minutes to read up on it all. Once you have read up on it, you'll never need to use a toolkit

Unrooted my phone for 4.3 update by restoring the kernel and recovery(was on stock rom). While restoring the recovery I got an error message with android and exclamation mark so I rebooted and all was fine..
So today I got the update and downloaded it and it said to Restart and Install I did that and while installing it aborted and gave a android with red triangle and error written under it..

Thanks for your reply.. Can you please tell me can I flssh Pa based on 4.3 when it comes directly on rooting 4.2.2?
Flashing the kernel will affect the OTA as you have to have the stock kernel as well. I'd imagine the radio also has to be the 4.2.2 one as well

Hey can't really figure this issue out. I gave my girlfriend my old Nexus 4 when I purchased the Nexus 5 and it was running perfect... stock but unlocked and rooted. Recently she was letting her little cousin play with it, it somehow went into airplane mode and she restarted it and now it just gets stuck at in a boot loop at the Nexus logo. It will sit there for HOURs. I've now flashed it to stock twice, once using the .bat file and the other time just doing it with adb commands and still nothing. WTF happened?

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.

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.

You flashed stock firmware and it didn't work? What did it do when you flashed it?

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.

so now you can boot to 4.4.4 ROM but your phone stuck at the "Starting apps" box rite?

I think it was just the order i flashed the img files that made it go to that point, but i am pretty sure starting apps is where it gets stuck every time.

You can fastboot your phone i believe, you should try [HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root #
Start from point C
I hope you haven't tried it yet

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.
