Can't flash any Lollipop rom - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm currently on a 4.4.4 rom (Purity) and I wanted to flash a Lollipop rom (I've tried two of them) and at the first boot, I get two popups that say Google keyboard and Setup wizard have both stopped. When I click OK, the same windows reappears again and again, so I can't pass trough the setup wizard. I've tried to reboot and factory reset many times, but it always do the same thing.
My custom recovery is TWRP 2.6.3.3.
Thanks

Update your recovery, it's old.

Thank you, I resolved the problem. I also flashed a stock rom before the custom one.

[Q] CM10.1.2 Bootloop

I was having a ton of problems with my Nexus 4, like i mean a TON
so I decided to just fix it and factory reset my phone. I rooted it with the nexus 4 tool kit and flashed TWRP. I found the CM10.1.2 zip and the 4.2.2 GAPPS. Flashed the ROM, then the GAPPS, then cleared both caches and Rebooted my phone. It is stuck at the spinning CM circle boot logo forever (I even left it on all night). I tried flashing CM10.1.0 with the 4.2.2 GAPPs same process and still in a boot loop. WTH is going on. I'm so frustrated. My phone was wiped clean and the only app I have is a file explorer besides the preinstalled Google apps.
Help.
I made a backup of when I freshly rooted my phone so I don't have to keep rooting when I enter recovery to get away from the boot loop
Before you flash the ROM did you do factory reset? Go into twrp do a factory reset then flash ROM and gapps then reboot it shouldn't take more then 5 mins for it to boot

I answered your post. The point of XDA is to share development work and learn how it works but if you're using a toolkit and not reading you'll never learn that's why you've had "a ton of problems" and don't know how to fix it

Sorry I never saw your reply. Thanks for replying. I did a factory reset from the settings menu NOT from within TWRP. And the toolkit is not to blame because I've used it plenty of times before and has not caused any problems. All it does is root my phone.
Umm you need to wipe within twrp before you flash. You're bootlooping because you only did a factory reset which only deletes cache and stuff. Wipe from within twrp and then flash

I wiped from within TWRP, rebooted and then my attenas were not working again. I could at least see the networks in my area but I could never connect on WiFi- it kept saying "Authenticating". It also said "No Service" for my 3G.
I booted back into TWRP and went into the advanced options for wiping and selected everything besides some "usb" thing and I think I deleted my OS -__- . I'm an idiot I should really not do what I don't know. I'm just going to flash stock ROM (4.2.2) with the Nexus 4 Tool Kit and see if things improve.
Thanks for your help.
In twrp if you're flashing a different always do the advanced wipe in order to clear the previous rom. Doing the basic wipe in twrp has the same effect of factory reset from earlier

4.3 cm-10.2

Has anyone tried the 4.3 cm10.2 ROMs found over here (http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/cm-10.2/)? I was going to give it a go last night but for some reason my device got stuck on the "warning your boot loader is unlocked" screen and had to use Matt's utility to give it life... I may give it a try tonight when I'm not expecting any calls...

Yeah, I'm running the latest version of it now. I had the same problem. What worked for me was the following:
1. Wipe everything - system, data and both types of cache.
2. Install CM 10.2 and NOTHING else. Boot the ROM. It should go through now.
3. Once you get to the main screen, reboot into recovery.
4. Install the 4.3 GAPPS version. Reboot, get to the main screen and reboot into recovery.
5. Now flash the 4.3 version of Supersu for CM 10.2
6. Boot one last time into CM 10.2
All the links for everything you need can be found with a Google search. Later I may edit this post to include those links.

Thank you kindly for the reply... I got it booting finally but couldn't get su permission on TiB and what not... I didn't know about needing the 4.3 su ...I'll flash that now... again thank you kindly

TWRP isn't supported either from what I understand. You need to run CWM.
Any time I install 4.3, it won't reboot. It starts up initially, but I can't get it to get past the Motorola logo upon second boot.
I have tried the normal install method and this method.
Then recovery doesn't see the /data folder so something is wrong with the 4.3 install I presume.
Does it change the location of data?
Yeah I Tried It But It Had No Sound So I Changed Over To 4.2.2 AOKP.

I use TWRP, works ok. Got sound, data, everything working fine. Battery life sucks, but no surprise there.
My 2c
I'm running it right now. I must have missed the part about flashing SuperSu, because I can't do anything as root. I had trouble the first time I flashed with the phone bootlooping, but I flashed again and that fixed it. Battery life is somewhat poor, but I just found the performance page today (Icon was different, silly me!) so we'll see how it goes with a different governor. I've been having issues with Navigation and Bluetooth audio on anything except stock. Bluetooth audio locks the phone and I have to soft-reset it. Navigation crashes if you try to multi-task while using it.

If you can define the procedure you followed for updating to Android 5.0.1, then I can think of something.

Well, your phone isn't dead but you might have to wipe your phone. I'd start with doing a factory reset in the stock recovery. That will wipe your device
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Go to stock recovery and you can trying wiping /cache first, and then reboot. If that does not work, go back and do a full wipe.
Did you use the toolkit? If so, this happens everytime for some reason. Your phone is not broken. Just give it some time after rebooting and should bring you to the setup menus.

Nexus 4 Stuck on boot animation (with multiple type of rom)

Good evening guys, i have my nexus 4 dead.....
I had a lollipop official factory image installed on my n4... After some week of usage (with 0 problems) I drained my battery to 0 and since then, i had the annoyng bootloop on lollipop dots on booting.
What i did:
Restored to factory and deleted cache using the recovery system, no results
Installed TWRP, cleaned the cache and all the other stuff, no results
Installed CWM, cleaned the cache and all the other stuff, no result
Installed a fresh and new factory image, no results, sometimes the device is stuck on the dots, somethimes download the app and it locks on "Android starting app"
Rooted, then installed cyanogen 12, same, sometimes the device is stuck on the blue cyanogen logo, somethimes download the app and it locks on "Android starting app"
So now, what i can try???
It can be an hardware problem?? But what kind of hw problems?
Thanks in advance for the possible solution,
Petar

Did you factory reseted the phone or you flashed a factory img?
If you did flash a factory img,try another one,maybe kitkat. If not,flash factory img and see it boots.

I will try this evening with the 4.4 but i'm very dubious on the results.... I will let you know
I just need to wipe the Cyanogen mod, then flash the factory over it, right?
Just reboot your phone in bootloader, connect it to pc and run the flash-all.bat and let it do its thing..
Flashed the 4.4.4 factory image ... Same issue, system won't boot.

Go into stock recovery,do a factory reset from there and give it 5-10 min to see if it boots.

Nothing change.... Now the phone is stuck on the animation, it never goes on the "upgrading android app" screen
Nobody has some kind of suggestion for my problem??
How long did it take to flash? It might be possible fastboot isn't installing the ROM properly...

failed flashing Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9-20151121-jfltexx.zip ROM

Hi. Today I wanted to flash my s4 I9505 device with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-resurrection-lollipop-v5-5-5-t3195202 but at the end the problem has popped out. I had an android 5.0 lollipop don't remember which one exactly. First I've rooted my phone with odin 3.07. Then I've downloaded ROM Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager) from Play and installed recovery. It looked like this: http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...ry-fuer-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-wp_000062.jpg. Then I wiped cache and data. It appeared with totally clear phone. Then I installed superuser from the recovery level and then problem appeared. The phone is booting up normally but after all the starting logos it comes with black screen and multiple crashed of Multimedia, Camera, Interface and so on. Is it bricked? I don't know what to do, I have to say I am kinda newbie. Hope that someone will help.

Great you got it working.
Just a small tip for in the future. Make sure you use TWRP recovery. CWM and Philz is outdated.
