Try this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469 . It does everything (Rooting, flashing recoveries, roms, unbricking...) love this one

Not sure if you got my pm.
It did not work . What you mean by sending it to play store?
Tried so many things like try to flash it unroot it but the USB debugging mode is not enabled.

You don't need udb debugging in fastboot mode. Flash the full factory image.

Nothing worked so far

Managed to flash full factory image.
When I flashed 4.3, its stucked at "Android is upgrading.... Starting Apps" screen.
When I flashed 4.2 its managed to boot successfully but I don't get the network coverage.
When i try to search network its "Error in searching network".
The baseband version is stated as unknown.

Reflash 4.3 and wait for the installation to finish. If it gets stuck on "Android is upgrading" just restart the phone. This time use THIS toolkit. it has always worked for me.

Me too did try flashing 4.3 again and again twice but still stuck up with x screen.

I too had this problem with my Nexus 4. I flashed the factory image (I tried with Android 4.2 and 4.3) with fastboot and I got exactly the same errors as you. I finally sent back my device to Google, the new one should arrive next week. I have no idea what can cause this problem :/

This thread is old, but if you have a problem with booting, you don't have to go unlocking bootloader and flashing anything if it can be fixed by just going into stock recovery and wiping cache or factory reset (you will lose apps data, but not data in your phone storage.)
Hold Power + Volume Down when the phone is off to go into "fastboot mode". Then use the Volume keys to navigate to Recovery. In there, press some combination of buttons of Volume and Power to bring up the menu (I forgot what the combination is, just fiddle around), then you can wipe cache or factory reset.
If even factory reseting doesn't help, you might need to unlock bootloader and flash factory firmware, but if you unlock the bootloader it will wipe the phone entirely and you will lose all your data. You can try to boot the phone and connect it to your PC, even if it doesn't boot fully there might be a chance MTP is loaded so you can copy files off.

You should do a factory reset in recovery before flashing. Follow the instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312, and make sure you use the correct firmware image when flashing it.

Help with Fastboot, Nex4 wont boot any further

I've aquired this Nexus 4 from a friend who has somehow wiped the recovery and rom, I can boot into fastboot, but that's it, if I go to the recovery option through fast boot it gives me the android with the exclamation point, implying there is no functional recovery.
So! I've finally borrowed a friends laptop and am having trouble getting fastboot setup, Drivers/Fastboot has always been my downfall.
I recently used this same computer to root a nexus 5 so I should have proper **** for that, would that work? can anyone maybe help me out a little.

I check device manager (Windows 7) and there's no category that has anything to do with the nexus 4 or removable devices. I've tried installing drivers a couple different ways, but am having no luck of course. I would try to delete the previously installed drivers but I have no entry to device manager to click, The only will only boot as far as fastboot so I'm just kinda stuck as fastboot hasn't really been my thing, I have fastboot.exe on this pc from previous use, I tried to go to the folder and "open command prompt here" and type adb devices to see if it would show the device and got nothing so I'm kinda lost, someone please help me out as I only have this laptop for as long as my friend is here and theres no others near to me use. Please and thank you

If you can only boot into fastboot use fastboot devices, not adb. adb only works in recovery. Adb and fastboot are different

You'll probably need to flash the factory image, get it from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Un- zip it and inside you'll see a flash-all.bat. while you're booted into the bootloader double click on the bat.

My thoughts are since the recovery is screwed I just need get fastboot functional and flash a recovery, I'm a custom ROM kinda guy. So if that's all I need than cool, (I currently have a nexus 5) I know mako has other bootloaders and radios and **** and I'm not sure exactly what version of android this is on or anything. Bit my situation is definitely having a phone that'll only go to fastboot, when I try to boot regularly it just sits at the Google logo.

Not sure if just flashing the recovery will work, but download the factory image and unzip it. Inside is another zip, unzip that too. There you'll find the recovery.img
In fastboot use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Okay, I'm about to hand the phone off to a noob whom has a PC, and link him this thread, what all will I have to do/download/install to be able to properly use a fastboot command?

So I really don't need any commands, I just need fastboot functional and to double click the flash all file (with phone connected and in fastboot) afterwards I can handle installing a recovery.

If all you want to do is flash the factory image just use the flash-all.bat that's inside the factory image. Extract the image then with you device in fastboot mode and connected to the pc, just double click the batch file

Also, when you've booted into recovery and you have that dead droid, have you hit the vol up key? This'll probably get you into recovery

That did get me into the stock recovery. Which I did a factory reset in there for ****s and giggles but it still sits at the Google logo (not a surprise) this phone used to be on PA, with CWM. And all that. What do you think he did to it? Haha
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Actually. It eventually went to the boot animation. But the "stock" android one. It just might boot after a while, I dont know.

Not sure what he did. I would flash the factory image and start over again. Google nexus 4 custom recovery xda. That should get you everything you need to get rooted and running custom roms again

I definitely plan on flashing the factory image but I don't have a PC handy and my friend has an evil dog. So I'll have to just hope that he can succeed once I hand it off.

Alright, I'm gonna wake this back up, I've had the nexus 4 for a while and have just been using the stock modem becuse when I tried to hybrid ones I'd either lose mobile data or the phone would sit at the splash screen for at least 10 minutes before booting.
Which modem should I be using?

Recovery rebooting. Boot loop. Soft brick?

I rebooted my Note 3 that was updated to KK via Beans around May 1st, everything has been fine!
I rebooted (hotboot) on Friday and put the phone back in my pocket. Pulled the phone out of my pocket 2 minutes later, it says recovery rebooting. I can't get my phone past this screen. It will boot into download mode, but using CASUAL for OSX presents me with errors. I am beyond worried at this point.
Help?! Please?!

[Q] twrp wont load

i installed a theme for the recovery and next thing you know my phone wouldnt boot.... so... i went into recovery so i could just reflash the rom and fix the issue but guess what? the them was so big I CANT PRESS THE INSTALL BUTTON! i already tried deleting the theme using the file manager but I CANT PRESS THE DELETE BUTTON EITHER, anyone know a way to boot into twrp and make it bypass loading the theme? Please do make any referances to adb because i dont have a computer at the moment. Im at work and cant install anything on this computer and no i cant ask the I.T. for help...... please help me.....:crying:

Without adb to reflash the recovery and delete the TWRP configuration file and theme that is present on the SD card, I think you're out of luck. To the best of my knowledge those tools are required to fix your problem.

6P N Preview with TWRP kinda installed, stuck.

So I took the N preview and broke my TWRP install, it refuses to mount system no matter what I put in, how I have the password set etc.. I know it has been covered ad nauseum. I just have not had the time to work on it or revert to factory. Today I got the notification for the new N Preview OTA and I would like to take it but when it downloads and reboots it goes into TWRP and asks me to mount the partition (which does not work). Anyway around this? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I cannot even get into TWRP, I get stuck on the splash screen. How did you actually get into the menu? Are you using 3.0.2?

I tried on 3.0.2 and 2.8.7.2 (Which is what is currently installed) Both would get passed the menu, neither would mount. I just want to take the OTA if possible!!

Might as well just flash the new image instead of taking the OTA, right? Same effect just one less step?

NRT - Boots TWRP to flash the stock recovery, and when you can't mount it fails when it does the push. After your suggestions, first thing I tried!! If I don't mount and click cancel I can get into TWRP and it accepts commands from cmd line or NRT but no storage mounted.
