[Q] Nexus 4 Bootloop - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday, I tried to load the aandroid Lollipop image from Google on my Nexus 4 using Fastboot. For some reason, something went wrong and it started bootlooping. But the worst part is that now, whatever I try to flash, it will bootloop. When I go into TWRP Recovery, it says :"can't find "/cash"", I think the probleme may be comming from here.
Any solution very appriciated
Thanks in advance
Now when I try to flash a recovery, it says "Partition table does not exist"

if ur struck in bootlooping after flashing factory image 5.0 on wugs nexus 4 roottoolkit 1.9.6.
solution
boot into fastboot using POWER and VOLUME DOWN ..connect your device ,the pc will detect the device as ADB device .
then open nexus root toolkit
just click on unlock and follow the steps, twrp will be installed .
perform factory reset and wipe cash .
re boot the device .it takes 8-10min ....

[Q] Nexus 4 stuck in No Command bootloop after Kit Kat OTA update

So, my phone was stuck in No Command bootloop. I’ve done the power+volume up and had cleared cache and even done a factory reset. Those did nothing and my phone is still in stuck No Command loop. I think I’ve made it even worse by trying to Flash Recovery and Reboot options in the Nexus Tool Kit because my phone won’t even get to the No Command screen. It just turns on and turns off after Google comes on. Currently it stuck in that loop and only stops once the battery is completely drained. Please help.
Same problem here (ROOTED NEXUS 4)
Hi yeah I have the same problem as you just to clarify all i see is the new kitkat 4.4 logo over and over again I tried to factory reset it using TWRP didn't work. I think that the mistake I did was once TWRP installed the new system I clicked on "restart system" instead of "restart bootloader". Its still stuck at that stage and wont get past the bootscreen plzzz help
Hold vol down and power........can you get to download mode?

like the above poster has mentioned you will probably have to get into bootloader mode and then factory images...

My power + down volume brings me to FastBoot Mode. So only, Start, Power Off Restart bootloader and Recovery mode are the only available option. Recovery Mode does nothing but bring me to the Google loop. Also what do I need and do exactly for "factory images?" I'm a total newb here.

Think about whether noon or expert your first step is to search your issue. Where do you find factory images for a nexus 4 well search that. How to flash factory images search that. I am driving so can't point you to it but do t hide behind noob tag you caaaaaan doooo it...
It just feels so overwhelming and hard to dissect which of the hundreds of hundreds of posts is what I'm truly looking for.
Anyways, I've been reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
I also have Nexus Tool Kit by skipsoft.
Hello,
I have the same problem with "no commands" screen...
Later, I tried to update with "OTA.zip" file from recovery mode (apply update from ADB), but I got this error:
"set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)"
I guess I can flash a clean image from flashboot, but before that I would like to recover all my data :S
How could I backup the device if adb is just working in recovery mode where I can just execute sideload commands?
(I have root, but I have not custom recovery)
All kind of help will be welcome!
Thanks!
IS ADB something I have to download?
Same "no command" here after OTA (I am forced ota and I think this was the problem)
I solved flash manually stock room of 4.4 KitKat then I rooted with nexus toolkit (I lost 7 hours of my life find the solution)
What I caught "never force framework in future", have you forced too guys?

using fastboot reflash a stock factory image using the bat file
If you can't get into fastboot then http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/tutorial-how-to-unbrick-n4-t2347060 is your next option.

[Q] Help with softbricked nexus 7.

My nexus 7 wont boot past the Google logo , i can get in to recovery mode but factory restore does nothing , just says wiping data and stays there.
I tried using nexus toolkit , when i try to unlock bootloader it says unlocking, screen turns off when i turn it back on it still is locked. Is there anything else i can do??
You can try to download a custom rom on your pc and mount your storage through recovery, copy it over, then flash it.
Dont forget gapps.
If mounting doesnt work then sideload it.

Stuck without an OS

Hi there! I have a unlocked Nexus 7 that used to be rooted. I did a wipe on it while it was rooted using TWRP and accidentally deleted the OS. Now when I turn my N7 on it just stays on the Google screen with the unlocked logo. I have tried using the Unroot + Flash Stock on Nexus Root Toolkit but I can't find the right driver as it can't connect to fastboot (And i am using the softbricked option). When I try to normally flash something it just goes to the google screen again and stays stuck. I need help with this!
If you can get into TWRP, you can mount a USB thumb drive which has an op system zip file on it. This way you can install a ROM. This worked for me.

please help ive bricked my phone :(

i have note3 n900
i rooted my device and installed twrp
then i wanted to add 3 dots menu to my stock touchwiz 5.0
i followed instructions in that thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/themes-apps/mod-tredots-overlay-menu-note-3-t3006924/
then my device stuck at samsung logo
i waited 10 minutes then pulled the battery
but here the surprise that the power button dont work ever even when try to open recovery mode
its only work when open download mode
and from there i can reboot and turn on the device.
i tried to install recovery again but when boot it stuck at black screen
please help :crying:
When I have bricked a device I either use a computer and adb. You could also use a rootkit . Which is just a graphical adb interface. The idea being - return to stock. If you get there with root and custom recovery - back up. You can then start again with what you are trying to do. I know with the Nexus 6p the Nexus root software saved me.

its only work when open download mode
Then flash your stock rom via odin.
If the phone gets stuck again after flashing a stock ROM, boot into stock recovery and perform a factory wipe.
thanks guys it worked after flashing firmware throght odin
