So i updated my (not a year old) nexus 4 yesterday and today it died.
First off:
Ive never done any rooting, OCing or anything else fancy with my nexus, nor has anyone else.
Now, some time today the nexus got stuck in a bootloop, it was freshly recharged so it kept rebooting.
In the beginning full boots, after a while it got stuck at the 4 circles, later at the google logo, until now: completely dead, i suspect because of a drained battery.
I've been recharging the device for a few hours now, the red notification light keeps blinking and there's no hope for a (safe) reboot (yet)...
Any advice?
Do i keep charging it or is it a lost cause?
I'd rather not tinker with the device's internals, in case i would void the warranty.
Is your bootloader unlocked? Charge it up and then flash the factory image with fastboot.

My guess is that some files must have been corrupted during the update. Can you boot to fastboot mode (hold down both power and volume down)?.
My phone is acting similarly since yesterday. Stuck at bootloop even after reflashing the whole 4.4.3 factory image. Even recovery works fine, I just can't get past the boot animation :crying:

have you tried wiping data/cache from stock recovery?

my shiny new nexus seems to be stuck in the boot loop of death...
it starts up, shows the google logo, then the nexus logo and then it just starts over... rinse/repeat etc...
i can get into the bootloader no problem, but since i have no roms installed my options there are limited to restarting the bootloader (does nothing to fix the problem), recovery (hangs on the google logo forever and does nothing, but at least does not loop) and shutdown...
again, i have no roms installed (haven't had a chance to yet)... this is pretty much a stock device with some games/apps installed from the market...
i got my nexus about 3 weeks ago from microcenter, so i have just under a week to fix this or i will have to exchange it for another unit...
so how bad is this ? fixable, or should i not even bother and just take a ride and exchange it ?
Completely fixable.
Have a look at wugfresh's toolkit if you havnt seen it yet.
It allows you to flash stock from bootloader mode which will wipe all your data, but fix the problem
I've been on my way to turn in my Nexus 7 were I originally bought it in July 2013 due to several issues: the famous screen problem where the tablet seems to live a life on its own and where your only option is to do a hard reboot and also that it's been charging awfully slow the latest months.
Hower, a few weeks ago, it suddenly wouldn't start up normally. It always gets stuck on the Kitkat animation.
Just half an hour ago, after managing to charge it full via my computer, I booted it to recovery mode and emptied the system cache partition. That didn't solve the problem. I'm not even able to get to the recover menu anymore.
The reason why I'm not turning it in is because i'd like to do a backup on my files that are on it. Oh, and I should mention that the tablet is completely original and not rooted.
Any ideas? It'd be too bad to loose images etc...
Anyone?
Hi,
I have a SG Note 4 (n910f), I have not rooted the phone.
Every once in a while the phone turns off and reboots, and then it reboots again and again, it's stuck in a bootloop. However when I wait like 30 minutes to an hour, it eventually succesfully boots and shows my lockscreen, at that point the phone works fine again.
It happens now nearly every day and is getting very annoying.
I only once flashed an original software update from samsung with Odin without voiding the knox warranty.
The only thing I haven't done yet is setting the phone to factory defaults. I'm going to try that today, hopefully it works, but I have a feeling that the problem is hardware related.
I can't get into recorevy mode, and I don't have a custom recovery and i'm afraid if I get that it voids the warranty.
What should I do?
I can't go to a samsung service point when the phone isn't bootlooping cause they'll say nothing is wrong, and if I do go there with a bootloop, it might fix itself again and they say it is fixed, though the next day it goes bootlooping again...
Edit: I can get into standard recovery when the phone doesn't bootloop. Just cleared system data and cache.

Hey all,
Just some details before the background.
I was running a stock with a unlocked bootloader for a while now. I basically only use my nexus now to watch netflixs and HBOgo. Got the tablet over four years ago.
This morning after it's nightly charge I went to unlock it and it froze up. I rebooted it, noticed the date was off (Jan 1st) and froze after I unlocked it. Reboot again, it made it to the screen where it was optimizing my apps but the screen starting flickering and having artifacts, and powered off. Now it will power itself off 5 or so seconds into the boot animation.
I've tried going into recovery via the bootloader but when I select it and hit the power button it just turns it self off. I then used the nexus toolbox to reflash a stock rom (along with a factory reset), and TWRP. I tried booting up again and same thing. I then went into TWRP and start troubleshooting, but the screen is starting to flicker and have artifacts, then powers off.
Is the hardware dead on this?
Sorry for the jumbled mess of details, i've been bouncing around trying to troubleshoot/fix this.

My nexus 10 has the boot loop problem and I think I have been left with the only option of Re-Partition but I need the PIT file. Can anybody help or provide this file?
I have tried everything else (fastboot, adb, temporary custom recoveries, Nexus Root Toolkit) with no success.
Is the battery original? If so, it's possible the battery could be reaching its end.

Hi All,
I've done a fair bit of Googling about this problem and I'm fairly certain my phones (hard) bricked, but I said I'd post just to make sure.
I have a Galaxy Note 4 N910F running a custom rom ( I cant remember which ROM, I think it was like Kyros Final Edition Note 5 Port or something) , I've been running it for a few months with no problem, last night I was uninstalling various apps from my phone, games etc... when my phone froze and turned off, when I turned it back on it was stuck in a bootloop, showing the galaxy note 4 screen vibrating twice and turning off and repeating.
I tried to boot into TWRP but it just froze on the Note 4 logo with "Warranty Bit Recover Set" or something along those lines at the top, when I took the battery out and put it back in, the phone would no longer turn on, nor will it charge, its completely dead.
I somehow managed to get it turned on again after a while, went into download mode and using Odin installed a stock rom, the install went fine however when the phone restarted after the install it said "booting to recovery" and ended up with a dead Android dude and a "no command message" , I got into recovery mode then and cleared the cache. Then I restarted the phone again and the same thing happened.
Now the phone wont turn on again, I've soft reset it, left it plugged in charging for a while and still nothing. Has anyone experienced something similar to my problem before? Any advice/help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Alan
