Hey everyone, recently I've bought a nexus 4 that was soft bricked, I can access the fastboot and recovery, I tried flashing using The nexus toolkit to flash but its always stuck at boot loop, I tried using commands to flash , it will loop boot, I tried factory resetting after each flash but nothing helps..I am able to see the phones storage too, any ideas how to get past the loop? Thank you in advance!

Just flash a factory image straight from google. Need to be more specific with errors if you want help. Did the bootloader unlock ok? Was it already unlocked?
Try flashing 4.2.2 image rather than the latest, some hardware issues can prevent the newer firmwares from booting.

I tried flashing 4.4.4 then the first jelly bean, it was already unlocked , im able to access the download mode, fastboot and recovery, like i said I tried 4.4.4 and oldest jb but its still in boot loop, any ideas?
There were no errors at all, using the nexus toolkit or using commands
Lock your boot loader then reboot. Is the padlock gone? If it is unlock the boot loader and retry. If your boot loader will not relock or unlock after relock you have an emmc issue. If it all goes through fine but still won't boot it's also probably a hardware issue but maybe fixable.

Hello Guys!
I guess i bricked my nexus 4!
I wanted to update to 4.2.2 so i used the nexus 4 toolkit to toss the custom recovery. also got rid of franco kernel since that would have blocked the ota as well.
Now i ran the update, didn't work. charged battery again, downloaded ota again and tried anew, but with no luck..
and now is where the bad stuff happened. I figured i'd just get the .tgz from the google dev site and flash it to the device with the toolkit. Did that, now nothing works anymore.
What i can do:
Boot into fastboot, lock and unlock the bootloader, boot the boot.img
what i cannot do:
boot or flash recovery, it will be stuck on the google screen.
When i turn the device off completely (5sec off ) and then it turns on again, nothing shows up on the screen. just the backlight of the screen is visible.
i can flash system.img but no help, i can flash boot.img or recovery.img but i won't get anywhere close to recovery.
any help guys? or should i relock the bootloader, call customer service and hope they'll replace it for me?
Kind regards and thanks!
Solved it! I must have made a mistake since i didn't download occam from google dev but i guess the nexus 7 .tgz. Hence i flashed wrong system, boot and recovery...its all fine again now and running 4.2.2 wow i am glad
My N7 ended up in a boot loop after the 5.1 update. I can get to the bootloader and I can get to recovery. HOWEVER, the bootloader is still locked and the debugging mode is not enabled.
In fastboot, I can send the OEM unlock command, but the N7 screen just blinks and comes right back to the bootloader screen saying that the current status is locked.
I can go to the recovery screen and get to the option to sideload, but when I try to sideload the system file, it always says that the footer is wrong and that the signature verification failed. I've tried several different files from the Android factory images.
I've also tried the Nexus Root Toolkit and the SkipSoft Toolkit and they don't seem to work either.
ANY help would be appreciated.
Welcome to the bricked N7 club. Same thing happened to mine after taking the OTA 5.1 update.
+1 Also the same here Lock state - Locked nothing works, also the recovery mode is not working on mine (think I wiped the device somehow)
Anyone know how to fix the recovery mode also? I cant Flash recovery as the bootloader is locked?

I'm still struggling with this. I've tried the Nexus Root Toolkit v 2.0.5 and it doesn't seem to do anything. I can tell it to unlock the bootloader, but at the top of the screen it just says "unlocking now........" and never unlocks it.
Starting to get really frustrated......
Hie there, i have a nexus 6p which got stuck into bootloop by its own. The bootloader was locked and i didnt even click oem unlocking beforehand. It doesnt go into recovery too as clicking there goes back to bootloop with the google logo. Warranty is void as its 1 yr since i bought the phone. Please help
My Nexus 6P is stuck in a bootloop. I have tried going to the recovery menu and doing a wipe data/factory reset, but that didn't fix the issue.
I want to try reflashing the stock image, but debugging mode is disabled and since it is stuck in a boot loop I cannot find a way to enable it to allow me to flash a new image.
Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader or enable debuggin while the phone is in the bootloader?
Or is there anyway to flash a locked Nexus 6P with a factory stock image?

Nothing you can do for the phone in that state. Did you buy the phone from Google? They have been replacing out of warranty phones recently. Not via Google? Try Huawei but they seem less prone to RMA outside warranty.

No to unlocking. You are limited to sideloading a newer build OTA from recovery mode.
Ok so recently I was backing up and wiping my phone as a procedure I do every couple of months to make sure everything's up-to-date.
But when I tried to boot into it this time, it got stuck on Motorola's unlocked bootloader screen and won't boot into recovery mode or turn off.
Everytime I try to turn it off, it reboots to said screen and gets stuck. My previous root was phh's Superuser, and I was upgrading it to Magisk's root.
I was also upgrading twrp 3.0.0 athene to twrp 3.1.1.
Currently I have the stock firmware downloaded from AndroidSages and the OTA Update pulled from my phone, as well as all the files stated above.
All I'm trying to do is boot into recovery mode, as I can make my way from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hold power and volume down for 2-5mins it will boot into bootloader from there you can boot into recovery or flash the stock rom
ADB will not work unless you are booted into bootloader or the os

That's the issue, it's not booting into recovery mode. If I could boot into TWRP I could push the stock firmware to the phone and I think I'd be all well and good.
What seems to be happening is that because the warning message comes before the phone can boot into recovery mode I can't boot into recovery mode.
That advice would be more helpful for someone with a different issue.

So you saying you can boot into bootloader
If yes then try reflashing the twrp
Or just boot recovery using fast boot
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
Try the older version

Maybe I wasn't being clear the first time but here's a vidual interpretation. The issue I'm having is that I can't boot into the bootloader, if I could I'd do what you said.
A Proper Load: Device Powers On > Motorola Boot Warning > Bootloader/Recovery/Normal Boot
My Issue: Device Powers On > Motorola Boot Warning [Freeze]
Somehow it fixed itself. All I did was reinstall Android Studio and the Android SDK and it work.
ADB wasn't showing any devices before the install, but now it is.
In case this happens in the future, can someone figure out what the hell happened?
Now that issue is solved, my wifi seems to not be working. From the moment I booted into the stock rom I haven't been able to connect/view any wifi networks.
Today, received a new update on my K20 for Pixel Experience. Updated it but upon reboot, the phone is stuck in fastboot. What can I do? My pc is not detecting the phone. Wanted to flash using MiFlash but the device is not recognized by the pc. Need urgent help.
I was able to boot into TWRP after I got stuck in Fastboot. If you manage to do that, try to flash Hasty kernel and you should boot

Yeah. I finally was able to boot into TWRP and sideloaded a new ROM after wiping everything.
