I have weird issue just plugged in new nexus player and was doing update from 5.0 to 5.1.1 then nexus stopped responding.. now I did a factory reset and everytime it boots to recovery mode (did factory reset) twice already.
Not sure what is going on.. ever since I plugged in nexus player it was very buggy.

if it was acting all messed up from the get go and u just got it i would return it and get a new one. you can try to flash the system image first if u want https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images this will tell u how to get into fastboot mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/guide-nexus-player-how-to-unlock-t2961989

got it work using skipsoft toolkit , then when image was flashed , I installed recvoery,flashed CM 12.1 so far so good.
I hope soon they crack forge tv this nexus is not mine but I am making it better for someone, thanks for the reply!

[Q] Nexus 4 Bricked / going in bootloop

Hey Guys,
I am facing a very strange issue with my N4. On Friday Night, I kept my phone for charging overnight and it was working as usual. on Saturday morning, I noticed that the phone was unresponsive and was showing a blinking red light. Tried to charge via various means but it was of no use. Finally went to a LG service centre were they could revive the phone but it was stuck in a bootloop. He suggested me that he will downgrade from KK 4.4.2 to JB 4.3 but still the phone was stuck in bootloop.
LG guy said that he doesn't have answer why this is happening. He said change the motherboard that will fix it. That is a very costly option which I cannot take. and he mentioned that there are tools online which will help it work but as an authorized service centre place he can't do it.
So here's what I did after reading several blogs, videos and but got stuck in the same place.
1. Booted in Bootloader mode, flashed stock JB 4.3 using Wugfresh Nexus Toolkit selecting the option Softbrick / Phone in bootloop.- Result : Stuck at Bootloop.
2. Flashed CWM Touch via fastboot, Went to the CWM recovery, Cleared the dalvik cache, Data, User data, Cache, Reflashed a Stock JB 4.3 - Result : Stuck at Bootloop.
3. Flashed KK 4.4.2 , again using the Wugfresh Nexus Toolkit - Result : Stuck at Bootloop.
I tried searching google for bootloops due to motherboard issues just to be clear from my side. The solution what LG guy gave sounded like I have no idea, lets replace the entire thing. Which i am pretty sure is not the correct method.
What my phone can do at this moment is:
1. boot into bootloader.
2. Communicate with the PC using Fastboot.
I know Nexus 4 is a developer phone and easy to recover from brick status due to its intended purpose. Please advise what else can I do to revive my Nexus 4 and let me know in case I haven't done any thing which can restore this thing back to normal.
Thanks and Cheers,
Sid

Try not using a toolkit, and doing it manually instead:

Thank you abaaaabbbb63, I did find that post and performed the steps and now i can boot into android JB 4.2.2
But here's the thing the battery icon is showing an exclamation mark and mentioning that it is not charging. and second it seems that i am not receiving any mobile signal.
Could this mean my battery is faulty and replacing it may allow me to use the mobile signal.

Flash the KitKat factory image. That might solve the mobile signal issue.
The battery one, if not solved my the kitkat image, might be a hardware fault.

So chances that the Motherboard is screwed?

Or the battery itself. If the motherboard was busted, then the phone wouldn't have booted.

Did you get this fixed? Were you able to upgrade beyond 4.2.2?
My Nexus is currently bootlooping if I try and upgrade beyond 4.2.2 - though my battery seems fine. I'm wondering if there's some similar problem though.

Bootloop issue

I'm having a really weird issue.
My N4 crashed randomly and then it would not get past the Google screen, occasionally it would get to the CM loading screen but usually it wouldn't.
I tried wiping the system and flashing CM again, that didn't fix it. Then I reflashed stock using the factory image from Google. That would get the Nexus 4 working but after a short time it would reboot and not get past the stock boot screen.
I have tried factory resets and Wug's Nexus Toolkit to get the phone working but after 5-10 mins the phone will reboot and crash.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this? Thanks!

surely a hardware issue.. battery probably.. charge your mobile for 8 hrs and then use it.
Can you try flashing Android 4.2.2? Some peoples devices refuse to work on 4.3+. No idea why though.

[Q] Nexus 7 boot circle

I got some strange problem about my nexus 7(2012) with android 5.0.
It has been upgraded to 5.0 some days. It may lag but not have problems. Now, it boots circle when it boots into launcher for seconds.
I have tried to reset it but it can't. It just rebooted to android robot screen and did nothing. The problem still occurred. I can't do factory reset.
I also found I can't wipe any data or flash ROM either with fastboot command or with nexus 7 tookit.
It seemed I can't do anything changed in the tablet.
Does anyone have ideas?
Is it really the problem of hardware?
How can I do?
Thanks

I am having the same issue. I have been kind of stuck for the last few days with out use of it. Still trying with out luck.

[Q] Boot loop after upgrading Nexus 4 to 5.1

I recently got 5.1 update on my nexus 4. But after the update I am experiencing boot loop issue on my phone. This is a stock image and un-rooted phone which is out of warranty.
The phone was stuck in a 'Starting apps' message after the 'optimizing apps' for close to 3 hours. I rebooted the phone and was able to boot into 5.1 once.
I could not get a network and I restarted my phone. Since then, I have never been able to complete the full boot even once.
It either gets stuck in the animation of the 4 balls moving, or the 'optimizing apps' stage or the 'starting apps stage'.
I searched the internet and tried some solutions given by people who were facing a similar issue. But nothing seems to be working for me.
Solutions tried:
1) I rebooted into recovery mode and wiped the cache multiple times.
2) I rebooted into recovery mode and did a factory reset hoping that some apps which was causing issue optimizing/starting would be deleted.
3) I flashed a 5.1 as well as 5.0.1, 4.4.4 image using the NRT in the 'Soft-brick' mode. I faced the same issue with the loop. I can't get a adb connection to work since the developer options is not enabled I believe.
I cannot even find out which app is causing the issue as well since I don't get any logs during the boot. But I thought a factory reset should handle this problem.
I have already lost data since I didnt have a full backup. At this point, I just want to get my nexus back.
Please Help!!!
Ican understand how you must feel It looks like you have done everything. The only suggestion I can make that might help is seek out the SkipSoft Android Tool Kit. It will allow you to restore your nexus so check it out

Thanks for your reply.
Is there any particular option on the toolkit I should be using to restore my Nexus? Or I should just try re-flashing stock firmware using the mentioned tool kit?

I would plug your Nexus 4 in via USB port
Select your device type Nexus 4 option 02
Then go to the next step and select the build number that you want to start

Nexus Bootloop (tried flashing and wiping)

Hi,
I have a rooted nexus 6p, all was well until it decided to reboot and boot-loop when I opened my music app. I get as far as the white Google logo then the phone restarts and I'm back to the normal warning then Google logo then reboot.
I have managed to get into the recovery screen (with the android laying down) but when i choose recovery mode the phone just starts boot-looping again.
I am wondering if I have somehow managed to hard brick it?
I have tried to flash the latest OS onto my phone but it said no signature.
I did managed to wipe the device also.
Thanks for any help.
Are you on Nougat or still on MM? Since you're rooted, it means you didn't receive an OTA. Did you flash it yourself, originally?

When my phone started playing up I was still on MM 6.0.1, I tried to flash N after the boot-looping started.
Thanks
