Hello everyone. I am desperately in need of your help! I installed the most recent version of Paranoid Android 4.4. Everything worked great. I then decided I wanted a smaller nav bar and found a flashable zip file for Kit Kat that was meant to reduce the nav bar size. I flashed it but now I am stuck in a boot loop. I am unable to get to TWRP but can get into download mode. I tried using FlashTool to flash the stock ROM but it keeps getting stuck at 49%. I don't mind if I lose all my data, I just want to get things up and running again! What should I do? Thank you.

The reason the flashtools is failing at 49% is because you are on a non stock rom, therefore you need to wipe the phone before flashing to stock (ive had the same problem before), but because you cant get into recovery, im not sure how you will wipe your device

Okay, I managed to get into TWRP. I don't have a recovery or a rom to flash on the phone though. I tried using fastboot to push a rom to the phone but I keep getting "error: device not found". Any ideas?

Once you get into download mode, hold the buttons to get into recovery.
To get into recover
Try holding volume down + power*
Immediately when LG appears let go of both and ONLY hold onto power, should boot into option to factory reset*
Hit power button 3 times to continue, then itll load into recovery

If you cant get a rom sideloaded, Now that you can get into TWRP, wipe EVERYTHING and then flash back to stock, it should work.

By wipe everything do you mean format wipe or advanced wipe? And how will I get the stock rom onto the phone to flash it?

I mean wipe data, system and cache (internal storage aswell if you want) and you flash the stock rom via the flashtool and a pc, it doesn't need to be in your devices storage.

I recently tried to flash PA on my nexus.
Installed cwm on my phone. Then downloaded the PA ROM and moved to the device storage.
Rebooted into CWM and performed all the wipes.
I accidentally wiped the system and the internel partitions too.
when i tried to install ROM from sdcard. it says "NO FILES FOUND"
Iam stuck here. Phone wont boot into Android... any suggestions? please help!
How did you wipe system within CWM?
But since you say you wiped internal partitions too, it seems to me that you wiped your internal emulated sdcard... so I think your only option now is to flash stock images again... Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
If you don't want to flash the stock images you can also push a rom to your phone with adb while booted in a custom recovery
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
Thanks guys. Found a solution.
Flashed TWRP and sideloaded the ROM file. And flashed it.
Earlier the same process with CWM was not successful. Now the phone is loaded with PA ROM!
Thanks guys! and can u point me to the google stock images??

wiped /system? have you tried simple re-flashing your ROM from the .zip ?
no worry... download the nexus 4 twrp latest img from their site, and flash it to your N4
what you needed:
twrp img file
some n4 rom
adb and fastboot
instructions:
boot to fastboot, vol key down + powerbutton when n4 is off.
on your comp, , dos/terminal - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
reboot in recovery
select the adb side load from advanced tab in the twrp.
on your comp - adb sideload rom.zip
everything done....reboot phone.

did you wipe using fastboot erase command? if so, you need to re-format to the android supported file system to access the partitions!
try installing the twrp recovery and perform 'FORMAT DATA' from wipe. then install ROM.

If you reboot into recovery does CWM come up or TWRP? If it's CWM then ignore ROM Manager and continue as normal

CWM comes up as the recovery because it's the latest one I flash. I know it might now matter but this really bugs me.
Dunno why you're using ROM Manager anyway, pointless piece of software IMO. Just flash everything manually

and of course, now I can,t find my zip file for the nex ROM, and when I reboot I am blocked on LG logo screen, I can enter in recovery or download mode, that's all !!!
is there any other solution that flashing the stock ROM (.kdz) to solve my problem ??

Cool, so if you install adb onto your PC and set it up you can sideload a ROM to your recovery....and if you want you can flash stock in download mode with thread in general forum....I'm hitting the sack but if you look up adb sideload you should be able to get all the instructions
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
Basically once you have adb setup and have a ROM ready its a piece of cake and lots of threads if you Google it
I think I will have a problem with ADB, because before flashing I disable the USB debugging mode !!!! and unfortunatly I can't enable it !! Am I true ???

Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
look into your recovery settings, it should have an adb option you can togle, otherwise let it go in booting loop.
navigate to the folder with the files you rooted with. There should be a adb file.
then shift rightclick if windows on that folder that contains that stuff. Select command prompt from here.
adb devices,
or adb it will or should list the phone, then find the codes to push the desired rom and optional apps to root\sdcard.
then adb reboot recovery, or reboot manually into recovery and flash your rom plus optional gapps

Have you try to do a full wipe? In any case, yoy can download other rom that works sure and put in the sdcard using adb when you are in recovery mode...
Check if when you flash the rom, you are getting an error related with loky-... (Something like this)...
Why don't you try to install back cwm if you still have your cwm backup. Then after that restore your backup.

Yes i did a full wipe, when i flash AOKP 2/16 its successful but stays boot looping, but PA and CM11 says failed, but nothing mentioning loki.
Can you not mount in twrp? Or go into download mode and adb push another ROM onto the phone? If your in a bootloop just wipe everything twice. Mount or adb push a new ROM AFTER checking md5. Both those have worked for me :$

Is your TWRP out of date? You can update TWRP while in TWRP. Or just adp sideload another ROM.
How do you update twrp while in recovery? When flashing the other two roms its saying something about binary?? And how do you side load, yes im real new to the g2 root game, my nexus's were so much easier and never delt with adb sdk really, ill have more luck tomorrow when im on computer i can actually download stuff , when i flash aokp i see all the files through file manager but just won't boot

You sound like you really don't know what you're mate.
I think the best advice anyone can give you is to put your phone down and read some more.
If you have successfully flashed CWM then all you need to do is flash a ROM of your choice then wipe data / factory reset.
Also before you even think about flashing anything to your phone you NEED to back up your EFS partition.

Don't panic bad it's just down to the version of recovery ?
Just go back into recovery & try flashing again once you get status 7 go back & second line from bottom where you chose zip you will see "allow update old binary" tick the box if not ticked or until if it's selected then select zip to flash & it'll go straight through
