[Q] Stuck on "Google" screen during 4.4 OTA -Tmobile/NoRoot/TotallyStock - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I selected to install 4.4 from my OTA notification and after it restarted my phone and then had the animation of an Android working it then went to the black screen with the white "Google" and it has been stuck there ever since. I held down the power key for ten seconds and it restarted and seems to be stuck in a bootloop. I tried entering recovery but i get a broken android animation saying i believe "no command"
So what can I do?
My phone was stock, so this should have been a simple update right?
I am pretty much a noobie.
I followed a step by step set of instructions for sideloading the update via a zip file, but when I get to the point I need to enter recovery mode nothing happens, i cant get to where i need to be. And my computer doesnt see my phone anymore when I plug it in via USB
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Sideload the flashable zip of stock rom or any rom with the same android version in recovery ( guide )
Then flash back stock factory images (optional) ( guide ).

Good luck.

[Q] What is the correct installation order of the ICS files via fastboot?

I've gone through all the steps to root, unlock, backup using cwm, but i keep on coming up with issues on bootup after updating via fastboot. any ideas? when it does properly boot up it shows the updated M screen, and the att screen, but then stalls out. also, I've seen 2 android warning screens, one with the android guy and a white triangle with a yellow exlamation point in it, and also have seen the android guy on its back with a red shaded triangle with a black exlamation point in it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have 2 Atrixs, one was at 2.3.4 and the other was 2.3.6, both are experiencing the same problems
android system recovery attempt at applying update failed due to e:signature verification failed
If you're going to flash raw images via fastboot, the order shouldn't really matter. Just make sure you wipe everything before flashing.
wiping down the cache was what i did, at least thats what the cwm instructions were telling me. At that point i rebooted and entered into fastboot, flashed the files in the exact order displayed over at andriod police, rebooted, and stalled out during boot up at the att screen.
Since the files were flashed and should be there on the atrix, what would you suggest i do?

Needing some help to fix my recovery

I'm having a problem getting into my recovery. I have the D800. It started out I sideloaded cwr thru twrp. And it said it flashed fine. I selected to reboot back into recovery and got a fastboot error. So i tried just rebooting and couldnt get passed the splash image. So I did the whole flash stock firmware. And after i got done with that, I think I did the ota update, And I got my phone rerooted. But still no recovery, it loads to a black screen and my pc says I have to format drives from like u-z but one has a folder titled image with these files. I've tried adb pusing and flashy and nothin,.Please help
never mind I got it fixed I think. Please delete post

Brick and Restart Loop no Download

Hi,
I was on a rooted android 4.4.2 official, when i tried to install custom recovery using Flashify.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
There was the Secure booting error and booted normaly.I found out that this was not possible so i quit.
Today a got an update from LG so i installed it. The phone rebooted giving the Secure booting error, and it stayed black screen.
Googling i found this tread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
I folowed it but i thought since my phone had problem with it's recovery, just flashing the recovery.img would be ok.
I restarted the phone bat it would not start. It desplays the lg logo restarts, lg logo restarts.
I can boot the recovery but it does not work. When i press recover it just restarts.
I cant boot download mode or anything else, i have been googling the hole day.
I would apricciate your help. It is a one month old phone.....
Thanks

are u stuck in cmw recovery??
Stock recovery.... :/
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Free mobile app
Same Problem here! Exact Same
Also having this issue, stuck in the secure boot loop, can't get to download mode.
Im exactly the same - im stuck in TWRP and cant boot into Download mode at all - just get the LG Bootscreen then straight into TWRP Recovery no matter what i do
Did we all except some kind of update from LG........ i wonder if this the link here and is now a common problem?
Mine was this and i thought it was just an app update for the stock apps and now im stuck big time
Any luck guys or solutions then please post here so we can keep it together and help each other!
Yeah I got an OTA update for my D803-Bell model, upon restart entered the secure boot error loop.
Sounds like, via this thread that it's commonly happening to people who had TWRP or CWM (or even aborted / possibly never completed installs like me) got nailed.
As per that thread, and everything else, I've tried every option possible -- no download mode. Recovery mode doesn't restore anything, just resterts to lg logo -> secure boot error -> black screen. Shows as QSHSUSB_BULK in windows/linux, and I can see those 25 partitions in linux (but reflashing openrecoverytwrp__.img over the recovery partition didn't help. I'm waiting to find out how I can make my own copies of those various partitions listed, from another D803-Bell model I have access to. All the D803 .img files on those links in that thread, appear to not contain D803 Bell stuff, just Telus, Rogers, etc... so I'll likely have to source my own.
I just took a shot in the dark recommended by a friend -- and fixed my phone.
I zeroed out the 'fota' partition on the phone. As seen in this thread ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Just did a dd if=/dev/zero overtop of the fota partition, which was 25 for me from my linux box. One quick power cycle later, and I'm fully functional again, and the OTA update that killed me is still showing as available again.

[Q] Recovery Boot loop, can't go into recovery or my ROM: standby maybe have answer

Greetings.
I am sure there is an answer on XDA but an hour of Googling has got me stumped. Please point me to the right answer.
Starting point
Rooted N900T, stock rom, stock recovery.
What I did
Installed ROM Manager
Told ROM Manager to install the latest CWM for my phone. Completed with no errors.
Tried to boot into recovery with the standard "hold power, vol down, and home" but I could never get into recovery. It would look like it would start to boot into recovery then it would reset and boot into the regular ROM.
Then I told ROM Manager to reboot me into recovery.
Then it went badly... I am stuck in a boot loop that continuously shows going into recovery, then samsung logo, then repeat.
I have pulled the battery, tried to go into download mode, tried connecting USB, tried Odin.
What I want is a working phone. I would like to back up the stock rom and go to CM12 nightlies but for now I will just take a working phone.
Please help,
David
think I found the answer at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666432
At least I got out of the loop, not fixed but progress.
That worked, the only other piece of info you might need if someone else has this problem is that there is no PDA button on the latest version Odin, it is called AP

Device corrupted

So I was trying to install the new Oreo beta, and couldn't get into TWRP, and couldn't get it to flash it either. So I tried to reinstall the stock recovery by using flashall, but during the process I accidentally disconnected my phone. For a while I was stuck in a bootloop, but I've gotten it to the point where I actually get in. But it still says my device is corrupted and cannot be trusted and may not work properly. Does anyone know how to fix this? The phone is functional, but I worry that it will fail to boot when I'm not near a computer.
Edit: Problem solved, realized I needed to flash the full stock.
that message comes up when bootloader is unlocked
For that specific boot message (I believe it's a red screen) you have to use invisiblek's boot fix.
Look at his page https://mata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ at the very bottom and follow the instructions.

Do I fastboot flash this boot image then the stock boot image or just over top of the stock boot image? Also the boot fix image is only ~26mb while the stock boot image is ~65mb?
