Hi,
my phone was already rooted and I wanted to update it. But now I'm stuck in cwm recovery and now it won't let me reboot. The USB doesn't work either. I have wiped data/factory reset but nothing changed. Does anyone have any tips?
Download the latest factory image from google and flash it though fastboot.
Hold down the power button for ~10 seconds and it should force your Nexus 4 to power off and reboot.

i install the paranoid android rom on my nexus 7 and now its stuck on the bootanimation of the paranoidandroid rom i didn't wipe the data but i did wipe the caches so if somebody can tell how to get out of it i will appreciate the help I'm new to this thank you
Hold on the power button (I believe) to turn it off and go back to recovery and re-wipe and reflash. It happened to me once. Or wait till the battery dies.
Hold down the volume up (might be down, can't remember) and power button down at the google screen. Then the screen should go black, quickly hold down all three keys (up, down, and power) and it should bring you to recovery mode. :good:

Hi. Have the same problem. When trying getting into recovery mode, nexus stuck on google logo. Please help. I don't know what to do.
Ran into the same thing and now fixed
I had the same problem and finally figured out (I think) that it was because I was installing the ROM and the gapps at the same time. I installed just the ROM and then booted. Then rebooted to recovery and installed the gapps.
1. Hook it up to the computer.
2. Shut it off. Hold power. Then hold Power and Down till at the bootloader screen.
3. Flash recovery "fastboot flash recovery recov_filename.img". I used the zip from thread 1837401 on these boards to get fastboot and clockwork recovery.
Sometimes have to do this 2x if won't run through. If it sits doing nothing, go down in the menu and reboot bootload and then rerun the command before touching anything on the GN7.
4. Go into recovery, flash PA and reboot. After got in and running, reboot and install gapps.
5. Enjoy the awesomeness!
LOL you have to wipe the data. use tib to get your stuff back. Wiping the cache is a meaningless gesture if you haven't wiped the data. If you had followed the instructions in the rom thread, there would be no problem for you.

I have installed CyanogenMod on many devices before, and have never had as many issues as with the LG G2.
I was able to install CWM Recovery, and I used that to backup my existing ROM, and to Install CM-10.2, the build for the vs980.
After installing, and rebooting, I am getting stuck on an infinite boot screen. And I have no idea how to bot into recovery.
The default boot to recovery / factory reset screen is supposed to be, holding the power button until the LG Logo appears, then prelease, and hold again... This does not work, it just goes right back into trying to boot CM.
If I hold Power + Vol+, I enter some Firmware Update screen.
How would one enter CWM Recovery using only hardware? And how can I fix my infinite bootloop?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
**Edit**
I found out that I was going into this mode, and not recovery / factory reset... because I was still plugged in via USB... As soon as I unplugged, I was able to do this as expected.
Mod, please delete. I am unable, and I have solved my own problem.
I did an OTA update of Lollipop on my nexus 4, it got stuck on the 'installing system update' for about an hour, so I tried to restart the phone and it loaded the new lollipop animation, but got stuck there for 20 minutes, so i restarted it and it still didn't want to load into Lollipop, so I went into the bootloader and hit recovery and it came up with 'installing system update' again and still gets stuck. when i'm in the recovery, it won't recgonise vol + and power button press to do a factory reset, it just does nothing. my computer also doesn't recgonise the device... is there anything I can do?
Thanks!
Start into bootloader and try to flash the factory image via fastboot.
boot to fastboot and flash a custom recovery. you can use twrp or cwm to do a standard factory reset and you should be fine.
Hello All,
Hope you guys are doing well. I'll write in jot notes so I don't end up with an essay.
Bought Nexus 4 16GB in February 2013 from Google Store and have been running stock software since. Never had issues.
Updated from latest Kit Kat OS to Android 5.0.1 OTA yesterday and it installed fine.
Then tried updating to Android 5.1 (also through OTA) right after and encountered the "Error" message with the Android logo on its back during install. Phone is now unable to move past the swirling, coloured balls animation upon rebooting (referred to as a bootloop?).
Based on some websites' recommendations, I went into the recovery mode (hold Power+Volume Down and select from list) and wiped the cache partition (hold Power+Volume Up and select from list), which took a second. Wiped cache several times.
Tried rebooting the system after but I still get stuck on the swirling balls animation.
I'd be fine with using 5.0.1 or even going back to the latest Kit Kat as long as I can actually get my phone working again and not have to factory reset everything through the recovery mode (which, at this point, seems like my only option).
Thanks.
Check my thread, I had the same problem. 5.0.1 was fine but sensors went kaput, yes all of them. Flashed factory image 5.1, endless boot screen. After a day or two of flashing 4.4.4 (sensors were back working okay, wow big surprise), tried flashing 5.1.1 pure stock, same.
I'm back to 4.4.4 after restoring apps and data. Not sure I want to use 5.0.1 due to hte memory leak and other bugs that should be fixed with 5.1. But I'm certain that the factory image of 5.1.x won't boot on the N4.
For your problem, download the factory image, then edit flash-all.bat/sh and remove the -w from the last flash command (-w rewrites /userdata partition). Whether you use 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 is up to you.

Try doing this
Let's be clear about how to wipe cache, you can't do it in the bootloader.
Power off
Hold Power and VOL DOWN => bootloader
VOL to select Recovery
Power to enter Recovery.
In stock Recovery "fallen Android" icon, hold POWER and VOL UP => Recovery menu
Now use vol and power buttons to select Wipe cache partition.
My final attempt after doing factory reset/wipe data in stock recovery, using the factory image flash-all.bat and NOT removing the -w switch (so /userdata/ is overwritten as well), the N4 didn't boot after waiting > 30 minutes.
Hope that helps

I don't think that the factory reset will solve the problem. Have you tried waiting for 10-15 minutes for the phone to boot up? After OTA's and clearing cache the phone usually takes a while to boot up. If that doesn't work, factory reset using a custom recovery (this will delete your /data folder but not /data/media so your internal storage won't be wiped)

My, that text looks familiar....
The only thread I could find similar to my issue was a gentlemen a few months ago not being able to recover from his boot loop.
I'm in a similar boat but after flashing cf auto root in Odin my poor tab is stuck in a boot loop and won't load past the US Cellular screen when booting up. I am able to get into stock recovery, but I am unable to enter download mode to flash the stock ROM. This is where my situation is different and I am searching for some help on the best way to get the stock rom working again.
Is there anything I can do to force my tablet into download mode? I hold the correct buttons but it tries to boot right up instead of entering download mode.
I greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide and thanks for reading!
In recovery mode do a factory reset and wipe dalvik and cache. For download mode, are you holding home, vol-, power, together in that order?
I did a factory reset and cleared cache but I don't think I cleared the dalvik so I'll try that as soon as I get home.
As far as getting to download mode, I am pressing the correct combination and after about 10 seconds the device tries to boot normally and if I'm quick enough I can get into recovery by switching to the volume+ button

After getting home and mashing the hell out of the buttons i got into download mode and am running stock again. If you don't mind me asking, what is the best way to root my model running lollipop 5.1?
