I was playing a game on my nexus 7, it froze then when rebooted it it just got stuck on google screen. Read a bunch of stuff, went into recovery and tried to recover, it would say erasing but never go any further, just sits there. got toolkit tried to restore factory with that, now when it boots I still just get google screen but I get the menu in corner for start/boot/recover/power off. still never boots, when I try to run recovery now it doesnt even go to erasing. Ive read everything I can find to restore it, got 2 toolkits, unfortunatly everything tells me to put it in debug mode, which is funny cause if I could boot up and go into settings to turn on bebug mode then I wouldnt be having these problems... Can someone please help, Im good with computers but dont know much of tablets. I did no messing with tablet besides downloading updates when they came out.
unlock bootloader

My guess is no, I never messed with any of my system stuff. Everything was factory except for the updates it had me do as they came out.
How long you let it sit in recovery erasing before you rebooted it? Is there an option in boot loader or recovery for a factory reset? Beings you're not rooted I doubt those one click tool kits will work for you.

It sat in erasing for 1 hour and didnt do anything. I was doing factory reset in recovery.
As long as the boot loader starts you can recover your Nexus. Check this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
If he can't unlock the bootloader then there's not a whole lot he can do. Run "fastboot getvar all" while in bootloader and tell us what it says please. If adb is seeing your phone in recovery, then run an adb shell and do "ls -l /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/" please.
Sorry I can't help further but I just got this and don't know much. I am glad others came in to give you more help.

Just sayin, I think you guys need to pull the back cover and disconnect the battery for at least one hour.
I am really new at this but it helped me save mine twice. I think?
After you plug the battery back in try fast boot.

But this will void my warranty right ?
They have no way in knowing you pulled your back cover off. Just be careful so not to leave pry marks. Only way they will know is if you tell them you did it.

Hey Guy,
Need some quick advise. So I bought my N10 back when it launched and its been pretty great! I use it for watching videos, playing games, and teaching (Im a science teacher). Anyways, I use my tablet Daily... a lot... and its never given me any issues at all really. Well about a month ago I noticed it responding a little slow and really laggy for about 2-3 minutes, then it restarted itself. I figured it was no big deal cuz its done that before. Well this time it never turned back on and it just stayed at the Google boot up screen. So I restarted it manually and then it just stayed on the "X" screen forever... Never left either of these screens until the battery would die.
I reinstalled android using the Nexus Root Toolkit and it does the job every time. It works GREAT...but.... only for about 10 minutes, then it starts to get really laggy and then restarts again and gets stuck in the bootloop.
I have it under warranty through staples and they are telling me since its a software issue they want me to send it back to Samsung. If it was a physical issue like broken screen, they would have replaced it by now.
The Tablet isnt rooted. I always root my devices, but since this was a nexus I didnt think it was necessary...for me at least.
Thanks

Smash the screen and get the replacement lol. Anyways I don't see now its a software issue when you flashed the factory image and nothing changed. Try downloading the new 4.3 factory image from Google and flash it manually instead of with the toolkit. If you still have the problem then I'm pretty sure its something to do with the hardware though I don't know how the hardware would affect it getting stuck at boot screen. This is a confusing problem. Anyways according to most people Samsung won't be much of a help and you'll get you're tablet back a week or two later in the same condition. Some people have had good luck with them and got a fixed device back so I guess if your out of options you might as well give it a shot

Thanks a lot man. I just finished downloading the factory image now,but .... Noobie Question of the Day ... drum roll please ... how do I flash it manually? I transferred it to the device manually and then I opened up the bootloader then went to recovery mode then got into the stock recovery and the only options were Clear Cache...Clear Data... and ADB. Do I use ADB, If so Ill have to look that process up, I have never done that before. Sorry, Im not new to android or flashing or rooting, just new to Nexus I guess. My Samsung phones have corrupted me haha.

No, you don't use ADB to flash image files. Stay in bootloader where you see it say "Fastboot enabled". Extract the system, userdata, recovery and boot image from the package to C:\Program Files\WugFresh Development\data.

Rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache/dalvik cache usually works for me when it hangs on the loading screen.

Yeah man, thats what I thought, so I have tried it a few times and whenever I go to wipe cache....The tablet doesnt really do anything and then all of a sudden it restarts. What would cause that?
try to use the toolkit to flash a factory image of 4.2.2 (mind it formats all data, files, music etc). See if it works fine. then unlock, root the device and install a custom recovery (all with the toolkit). If everything works you will have a rooted 4.2.2. Try the tablet and the recovery to see if everything works. If it does you can upgrade to 4.3
Well if your still having issues then just send it to Samsung and when it comes back if its still not working take it to staples and tell them Samsung said its a hardware issue or something. I'm pretty sure they'll replace it. I've always had good support with staples

Thanks EVERYONE! I tried everyone of your suggestions and the original issue still keeps happening. I can get the tablet to work for a little while, but the its back to bootloop.
Thanks
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.

use the guide "ubrick your nexus 4 as long you can get in the bootloader" it reformats everything in download mode or something like dat.

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.

After many re-installs still not working...
EDIT: Working
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.

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.

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.

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.
Hey guys,
So the other day i was flashing my nexus to stock, and that all went fine, but when i went to OEM Relock it, my Nexus came to the Google boot stage, and wont go past that at all, i could leave it there for 8 hours, and nothing would happen. It is no longer rooted, and when i try to boot it in to recovery mode, there is an android symbol with an exclaimation mark. Though, i can boot it in to the Bootloader. Can anyone give me a hand? i'll be willing to do anything since this is my last attempt at salvaging my Nexus.
I don't actually need help, I'm merely ****posting so I can post in the thread I want to post in.
