Hi,
I am having this common problem upgrading Nexus 4 to Android 4.4. I will flash a clean stock image, but I would live to recover all my data first.
I cannot start properly the device and I can just reach bootloader mode and recovery mode. Could I backup my device in one of those modes?
(I have stock recovery)
All kind of help will be welcome!
Thank you very much!

So what you're saying is your phone won't boot up but it'll boot into the bootloader? And if you wanna back up in recovery you'll need a custom recovery I recommend clockworkmod

I tried to install a new rom after updating TWRP 2.3.0.0. after all was complete it stuck on the boot screen. I then tried with the Nexus Root Toolkit to use a restore from backup. Same problem. I then tried to flash stock and unroot. Same problem. I then tried a number of things through TWRP from backups I had their. Same problem. At present I have no OS and I can only boot into TWRP, turn if off or look at the GOOGLE screen. I have run out of ideas and would appreciate any help offered.
If you have tried everything else (flashing a ROM zip etc.) Then you should flash the factory image from Google.
Don't use the script/batch file as that will wipe your internal storage.
Just flash system and boot.

Sometimes a rom takes a long time to boot for the first time, please be very patient. Also, try wiping everything from /system, and then re install a custom rom from your /sdcard partition. also make sure your roms are for the nexus 7 not galaxy nexus or other similar devices. ONE MORE THING 4.1.2 wont flash with 4.1.1 bootloader.

I know many people hate the talk about toolkits but I was in the same situation and I used Wug's toolkit and it saved me. I downloaded 4.1.2 image directly from Google, as the toolkit only has 4.1.1.
I tried to return to stock on my own and it just went from bad to worse. I would of spent more time trying to fix it on my own but I was on a very tight time constraint. It will unroot your device but it is easy to root again.

THANK YOU the "ONE MORE THING" is all I needed to know for the same problem!
Hello
I have a problem with my Nexus 7. I tried changing my font using font changer. It rebooted and now wont boot up. It gets stuck at the X.. left it there several minutes..
I tried to do a factory reset using Stock Recovery but that didnt change things. I was on Stock 4.2.2 unlocked and rooted.
What should I try now? Obviously I can get into fastboot mode.
Thanks in Advance

Hello, I have the same problem, but when I try getting into recovery mode, all I see is a dead android with red x sign and with no other option displayed. Where do I go from here?
Also, how do you flash stock image from fastboot? Thanks in advance!

That's stock recovery. You want to be in fast boot mode for fast boot flashing.

Sorry, but how do you get into fastboot mode? I can't use any toolkit to get into fastboot mode as my pc doesn't
recognize the device because it can't get past booting up.

Stop using toolkits and start reading. There are instructions here that walk you through the entire manual process.

i'm just curious, but how come you guys are unlocked and rooted and not running a twrp or cwm recovery? if you had one of those recoveries instead of stock, a nandroid restore instead of a system image reflash would have put you back to where you were before you did the font change as long as you did a backup right before you tried doing that. highly recommend if you're gonna play around with the system, install some kind of decent recovery, not stock.

If you can get to the bootloader/recovery you're not bricked.
The moment you can't do anything with your phone except throw it at somebody is the moment its bricked. You are ok my friend as posted above just flash another rom but I am confused if your phone would only go into recovery why would you not try and restore backup or just flash another rom?
Edit: Hopefully you made a backup of your original rom? Also what recovery are you using

Thanks guys for replying
guys help!!
my nexus 4 got no os to boot up, i accidentally wipe all data, now i can only boot cwrp recovery, anyone can guide me how to push rom to the device in recovery?
Use adb. 'adb push path/to/rom.zip /sdcard/'
Failing that you can use fastboot to flash a stock rom.

If you can enter recovery, just sideload it then. Just google it. There should be a youtube videos too. I'm on mobile so can't get you the link.

I have a Motorola Razr M XT 907 on Verizon, which had been rooted for a long time. I wanted to update the software, hoping to get better reception and battery life. I made the mistake of installing the latest update, KDA20.62-15.1, which can't be rooted. I did, however, unlock the bootloader beforehand.
I have tried to flash a new recovery, hoping to downgrade the android build afterwards. Each time I try, I get confirmation of success in the command window, but I can never boot into recovery.
Any ideas? Or am I stuck staying unrooted?
Once you get recovery flashed, all you need to do is flash a SU.zip in recovery to gain root access. What recovery file are you trying to flash? Also, after recovery, immediately power off the phone and then boot straight into recovery so the update script can finish.

Thanks for answering. I tried to flash Clockwork recovery and clockwork touch. After flashing, I turned off and tried to boot into recovery, but the phone wouldn't boot into recovery mode.

Okay so i pulled this phone out to mess with it.. Rooted, Bootloader unlocked and installed CWM Recovery because i cant seem to install any of the twrp versions.... I am able to backup and restore my system without issue but cant flash a custom rom in recovery. Is there something i am missing?
On stock kit Kat 4.4.2 and using cwm 6049razor-hd_m-kit Kat sorry left that out...
Which error?
Starts to flash then fails with droid on his back
I have same issu e!
Successfully flashed clockwork recovery...
But after boot into recovery mode is starting normally instead of recovery mode...
What can I do????
Don't let it reboot.. Hold down power and volume to go into recovery manually. If you allow it to restart it will load stock recovery back onto the device.
