No boot after Font Change

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.

You can do it manually... by pressing buttons.
Take a look here...

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.

And alongside this you can do all the same things as stock recovery.

[Q] Nexus 4 wont work after new cyanogenmod update

Hi guys im sort of new to the android scene and im having problems with my nexus 4, i downloaded the newest cyanogenmod nightly and flashed it, it messed up part way through. i rebooted the phone and now its just stuck at boot animation. i have wiped the cache the dalvik cache and done a factory restore.
i have tried reflashing the nightly but it stick stops part way through, i want to add the new rom to the /sdcard but i dont know how, its not showing in android file manager and i have tried using adb push command.
im sure its a noob question but any ideas?
P.s sorry i know there are posts similar to mine but tried them and wont work

If adb push won't work in recovery you might try flashing the factory images with fastboot. System.img is really all you'd need.

You can try to sideload a new ROM via 'adb sideload' in the recovery.

Follow the steps, but only flash the system.img. Once it boots, move your ROM over. Reboot into recovery. Flash.

[Q] Nexus 4 won't boot after flash

Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my Nexus 4
I installed Odyssey ROM (4.3) coming from Illusion (4.2.2) following the usual procedure of wiping etc...
It didn't boot, stuck on the Google logo....
Strange thing is that it stuck when I tried to reinstall Illusion and also when I restored the Backup I made before the install.
What couldve cause this problem and how can I solve it?
Thanks

I don't know the cause but try this:
1.Go to bootloader.
2.Use adb fastboot to flash to stock.
3.profit

Go into recovery:
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot or
- if that`s not enough do a data factory reset and reboot. That should do it.

OK guys.... Slight update... I get it to work but it seems to only boot ROMs after a factory reset..... Even now, Odyssey, PA etc no matter what ROMs I'm on if I reboot it hangs at the Google logo.... Forcing me into another factory reset.

Flash the factory image, so completly stock. Then you can go ahead and start running custom roms again!:highfive:

I'm having this same problem with a friend's Nexus 4, my Nexus 4 I can flash whatever and it boots up no problem. With his it doesn't matter what ROM I flash it will not boot up. I have done the full wipe and installed factory image from Google Dev website at least 5 times and then installed customer recovery and root several times. I'm using the latest CWM touch and it will not boot. Any ideas? Thanks.

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Now boot to new recovery
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
adb sideload gapps.zip
Reboot
May is suggest the latest twrp recovery and latest slimkat and their all in one gapps for this as well
Also be sure you have the latest bootloader and modem
Best of luck

[Q] Can't get out of TWRP recovery

Hello to everyone!
The problem I have is that i can't boot my device to the normal android os anymore.
It always boot to TWRP. It also seems that i accidentaly wiped my whole device (Data, Chace and Dalvik).
It all happened because i wanted to update to 4.2.2 and it did't work. So i wanted to make a factory reset.
My device is also not recognized by my pc anymore so i couldn't do a reset with the nexus 4 toolkit.
I alsoed tried using adb push but I didn't really figuered out how it works.
Can anyone help me? It's kind of frustrating me

Wipe clean again
Go to advanced
Adb sideload
Now open cmd/terminal on PC in the location ROM of choice is
Type
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
May also need to sideload gapps
Reboot

[Q] Nexus 4 (SOFT BRICKED)

Hi,
I recently bought a Nexus 4 and rooted the device using the WugFresh Toolkit 1.8.0
Everything went fine and ROOT was successful.
Then I installed a custom ROM named LIQUID SMOOTH which when started went into Bootloop mode.
Instead of wiping the Dalvik Cache and Cache, I formatted the phone in a hurry.
I had got a backup of the previous ROM in my Nexus but before I could transfer it to my PC, I wiped the phone completely.
Now I am able to get into only RECOVERY MODE.
Could I get some help for the issue I am facing now?
Thanks in Advance.

You need to flash a ROM. You can either flash the factory images though fastboot, or use adb sideload in a custom recovery to flash a ROM of your choosing.

Nexus 4
Well I tried the ADB Sideload Option first.
Did not work out.
Tried flashing a ROM, but for the flashing procedure according to WugFresh toolkit, I need to get into bootloader mode.
But I am not able to get into Bootloader mode.
Any idea what to try out next??

Turn off your phone, press volume down + power and hold. That should get you in the bootloader.
