Possible brick going back to the stock rom

I was flashing back to stock from CM9. I had already done it successfully earlier. However this time something went wrong and I don't understand what.
1. Wiped user data and dalvik cache using CWM.
2. Used the rom from here. Same file I used the first time.
3. Flashed using odin. Used PDA, and only Auto Reboot was checked.
I can't get it to turn off without pulling the battery. Trying to use the power button to turn it off just causes it to restart. In the video, the phone was powered on right before the start of the video.
Any advice welcome regarding where to go from here. Thanks.

try again, had the same issue, i just did it again and it worked

Tried again at least 3 or 4 times with the same result.

You also have to go into the mounts section in cwm and format /system whenever you flash a completely different ROM.

Now that I'm in this situation, is there any recourse?

Can you get into CWM still?

Was informed about recovery mode. Clearing user data and cache there, and rebooting did the trick.

Won't turn on. Bricked?

Hoping someone can help me.
Was tweaking on my phone this morning-I was in recovery (TWRP), wiped everything, installed a rom/gapps (Liquid beta 3) and then, without rebooting, restored the backup of my Liquid beta 3.1 over it. (I was trying to wipe any remnants of the kernel from my previous rom by flashing the rom). I guess that's a no-no cause now my Nexus 4 won't turn on or anything. I feel lost without my phone.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

[Q] Solution to Samsung Logo hang?

Hello,
I have flashed Omega rom in my galaxy s4, however sometimes when I restart my device im stuck in the logo boot up. So my solution is to wipe the /data in recovery mode and it will start again.
But i don't want to wipe it every time i boot my device.
What do you think is the problem here? and how can i fix it?

Try to wipe system, data, and cache again. Then reinstall the omega rom and see if that solves the problem.

i've done that 4 times already. and it is still not working..
last week, i flashed a rom and while flashing it the battery fell off because i removed the back cover while flashing it last week. maybe thats the problem why my data is not working properly?

That probably isn't the problem. I recommend you to download the stock firmware of your phone and install that using Odin. Then if it works you can root it again, install a recovery and try it all again.

(Q) The g360h after root is too slow

Hi
After i did root for my phone (g360h) it becomes too slow with alot of delays
i've tried to remove the root and re-flashed the stock ROM (with wipe everything) many times but that doesnt work with me and it still slowest than worst phone ever
Any Suggest !

Your phone's slow speed has nothing to do with root. It's maybe because of a particular app, such as Facebook, which is a super memeory hog for a phone with 952MB RAM.
Try "L speed" app to optimize the phone. As you already tried wiping and installing stock ROM.

The problem is after the hard reset (wipe everything) and on the first boot it runs super slow without installing any program
and i've tried alot of stock ROMs but that does not work !!

my phone become too slow after installing Xposed and some modules
i tried to installed multiple stock roms and from first boot its too slow(like keyboard, black screeen in apps , etc)
i do this and my phone is now good with root and few apps so you can try! :
1. download Triangle Away paid version from internet and reset the flash counter
2. go to twrp and make (data,system,dalvik and cache wipe) make sure that second option in setting(use rm instead of formating) is not checked and wait about 15-20 minutes untill wipe finished
3. flash latest frimware for your country or any one (G360HDDUAPA3 the latest!)
4. tell me what happened with you because i do all this and my phone now best!

firstly i forgot to mention that i used Xposed so maybe that makes may phone too slow
2- i tried the first and the second steps (wipe data, system, dalvik and cache) and i flashed new rom but the strange thing is that kernel (always) just wipe cache and dalvik cache but did not wipe data and system
so i've tried CWM recovery and i did all the steps above!
rightnow my phone is better than before but it still not as before installing Xposed
and there is some lag
anyway thanks alot (Shukran Jazeelan)
i am waiting for couple of days to see what will happened
and i hope you will get ur freedom
