Hey guys, so I tried to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558 on my phone and it seemed to install and run fine until I rebooted it. Now it's stuck booting on a black screen. My phone is running 4.2 with Cyanogenmod 10.2. I'm a bit new at this and I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Boot into recovery, do a full wipe and reflash the ROM and gapps.

Also is there a way to pull files from my phone to my pc in this state? Thanks again. Hope someone can help soon- this is stressing me out.

Thank you so much for the reply. I will do this. But before I do that, is there any way to pull files from my phone in recovery mode? I have certain files that are very important to me and can't exactly be replaced. Thanks!

I want to do this as more of a starting new kind of thing. I know you can clear the sd cards and factory reset, but does that truly erase everything? And i understand theres also some options to clear delvik cache and others in CWM. Are these caches erased w/ factory reset? thx brah
Odin maybe?

yeah ive used odin a bunch to flash eugenes roms and stock rom if i get a soft brick. But weird thing is it doesnt wipe my internal sd. BTW this ISNT like a serious issue and i NEED to erase everything...but ive flashed so many roms over each other i thought it would be good to give my phone a breath of fresh air. haha
okay so just about an hour ago i was trying to install the 2825 radio. i flashed it onto the phone in recovery mode and now my phone wont go past the boot screen. (tmobile g1) i can still get to recovery and fastboot and all of that but even when i tried to restore it, it still wont go past the boot screen!!!!! what did i do wrong, and is there any hope for me?? please help!

Hopefully you will not accomplish your objective. "Everything" includes the Primary Boot Loader, in which case your phone will be permanently bricked, for all intents and purposes.
You will not be able to access the phone by any means other than an expensive tester after you delete USB drivers from the phone.
To erase everything...you need to go settings.phone & sdcard.umount...under phone storage.format....it will mount back on its own

you'll lose everything on the rom including apps that the dev added. only thing you wont lose is stock apps, but no it shouldnt matter what rom your running.

Please help guys. I just got this phone and my parents will kill me.
I installed the Franco kernel after rooting and tried to install the drivers for chain fire 3d.
It's got my phone in a loop.
I tried wiping data and cache and dalvik cache and rebooting but it doesn't work.
Please help.

after flashing and ur still in bootloop, then go to Recovery Mode (the android with a red triangle), do a factory data reset. Then you're good to go.

Chainfires open gl drivers won't work on most 4.1+ devices. Also looking over the app description on the play store, the supported devices are all nvidia or exynos based devices. Our phones use a Qualcomm chipset. And the force 4x msaa function is built into the nexus 4. It's under developer options.

Solved!
I used AndroidRootz Mac Toolkit and Voila!. It came back to life. Could someone tell me why the regular wipe data/factory reset did not work?

did you wipe the system?
boot into fastboot, and flash stock image.
Yes that will help... What I've learned from my previous phone, i.e. Sony Ericsson Walkman W8 is never wipe data/ factory reset your phone until you have a ROM ready for it...!! I had the same issue with it but I could pull out the memory card and put a custom ROM into it... So then I flashed the ROM.. And had no problem booting! So... I downloaded a ROM for my nexus 4 before rooting it!!
Just shared my experience... Someone might benefit from it!

Doing a factory reset doesn't affect the ROM.
Anyway, flash the factory system image and you'll be good.

I'll certainly flash the stock image then. But whats the best way to do it? Is there any tutorial you recommend? Im a total noob with this device

Check this tool here for easy rooting /flashing etc and follow all instructions.

Well it happended with my vwalkman. And also with my brother's xperia ion while rooting. I put CWM on it. And by mistake after the factory reset I rebooted the system and it got stuck on the sony logo... Even the recovery was gone... I had to fix it by pushing a custom kernel with a recovery in it.. Also it happened with my friend's htc explorer... It was stuck on the htc logo.. Cz he wiped the system after flashing the supersu file and then rebooted.. But he still had the recovery..! But that was fixed by simply inhaling a ROM!! I never posted this anywhere as I couldnt find any similar threads...
Can someone help me please. I've installed AOSP 4.4 on my Nexus 4 and now nothing works, all processes and apps crash when i open them. Clockwork recovery will not let me flash another rom either, I tried flashing cyanogen mod and MIUI with no luck, just a constant boot loop. Any help would be amazing. Thanks in advance. Matt

Download and flash the latest TWRP, then wipe everything includinf data, then flash again.
Or just go back to stock factory image.

My phone is fully charged, I can boot into recovery, but when I try reflashing the AOSP rom all the data from the previous install such as wifi passwords and a download for cyanogen mod are still in the notification bar. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik cache to no avail. I always flash roms with ease this is the first problem ive ever encountered
sorry
Right sorry to waste your time, just managed to get into settings app. I did a factory reset on the 4.4 rom now everything is working. Cheers for all your fast replys, much appreciated
Hi Guys
I installed the official Gingerbread that is available from the Huawei site. Install was successful however phone boots fine for the first time but once i reboot it I am stuck in boot loop on Huawei logo. Recovery is reset to default so cannot flash anything that way.
I cannot root the phone via SuperOneClick as it needs logging switched on (Requires reboot).
When I access pink screen no drive is mounted in windows.
How can i remedy this problem?
Hi, try to wipe data and cache in recovery.

Thanks Ax1qwer, didnt see your post until i had begun following the below

Currently still doing it so will let you know how it goes.
A bit late but thought i better update.
The above worked perfectly and got my phone back up and running again as it was in a sad state . Only downside is my MAC and IMEI are now different which I have still yet to attempt the proposed fix below.

I'm here to say thanks to scux,jo3fis,Ax1qwer. I had the same problem as jo3fis and i fixed it by going back to stock partition and then flashing gingerbread 2.3 518. Thank you all!
