I finally got it to go into the bootloader. It took 17 tries over a few hours since I had other things to do. It was really weird. I actually tried using the Nexus Root toolkit and it said if you cannot get into the bootloader that you have to use ODIN and I have no idea what that is. Anyway I got it working. Thanks!

I think I did something silly!
From the UK. I rooted my phone a while back after my friend told me all about it. I used the Nexus Toolkit V2.0.0
I am selling the phone and needed to go back to stock. So I flashed stock android 4.2.2. back successfully.
Then I saw this option saying Unroot on the toolkit (Option 4 the Option 5 (Unroot, uninstall Busybox + CMN recovery)), So I did that without thinking and now when I boot the phone it gets stuck on the Nexus X loading screen. When I turn it off it just starts up again and goes back into the Nexus X loading screen.
What do I do? Thanks!

ask the toolkit developer.
the right way to do it(unroot and go back to stock) is to not use a toolkit, but to flash the factory via fastboot.

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?

Yep. Might try to install clockwork with a custom ROM next and see if that does anything but I really want stock Android on it.

Personally, I like TWRP on the N4. I've never had any problems flashing custom ROMs with it.
Personally, I would use fastboot and follow this thread:

Yep did that step by step and still the same thing.
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.
Wrong thread sorry

Fastboot flash the factory image. Then boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.

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.

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.
[SOLVED]
Hello, so i followed the guide on here to go back to the stock rom from LOS(Lineage OS). I had done that right. Then i tried relocking the bootloader. I did that successfully. Now, i have 2 problems i have run into.
1) there is no recovery mode
i tried booting into recovery and all it does is flash the ZTE logo for a second than turn off. This keeps happening. I am not sure how to flash the recovery image since the bootloader is locked and i have no recovery mode.
2) when i boot my device, it asks for a password (a 3x3 grid).
I tried typing in the password i used for TWRP and it didn't work. I tried a bunch of old passwords but so far nothing has worked. I would like to know how to get the password and turn this off. I found this very annoying on LOS.
Please help me as i am not sure what to do!!
edit: i cannot seem to get the device to conect to the computer using adb or fastboot.
if you can can we excahnge phone numbers to fix this faster?

Stock, up-to-date. Using my Facebook app, and phone seems to freeze. Black screen, with Google. I can access bootloader, but NOT recovery mode. My warranty expired like 5 days ago. Am I SOL?

If your bootloader is unlocked you may not be. Search for items you can Flash to fix the bootloop issue. I don't have the URL handy sorry. If your bootloader is locked you might be in trouble. There are some tricks in the same fix post to tell you how to try to get back into your phone and then once you do get the bootloader unlocked quickly so you can load the fix

Yeah, I never unlocked the bootloader. I let it sit for a few hours, turned it on for S&G, tried and succeeded to get into Recovery mode for a few minutes, but because I forgot the way to access the menu. It dropped back into the bootloop. Going to try again in a few hours, now I know how to access the menu, I'll try wiping cache.

If your not gonna send for warranty I would unlock your bootloader. Also get your hands on the 4 core modified boot for your Android version. Find out more in the BLOD thread.
