Hello everyone. I recently rooted,unlocked bootloader and installed a ROM on my N4. Everything was fine until I decided I wanted the stock image back on my phone. Then someone weird started happening after I flashed the Google 4.3 Stock ROM, my phone would get stuck on the x logo, forever.
I tried sideloading different roms & kernels but it would keep getting stuck forever on the ROM boot animation logo. I tried googling the issue and looking all around to no avail. I have tho,discovered. That if I wipe my Dalvik cache right after an install it would boot but would yet again get stuck on the "Android is Upgrading" starts apps... message.
If anyone has any idea or solution for my problem I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you very much in advance everyone. :fingers-crossed:
How did you flash the stock images?

Using The Nexus Root Toolkit 1.72 the first few times. Then I tried using fastboot individually.

Try flashing them manually again. Use this guide and make sure you follow each step carefully.
Well, I did everything the thread said. I'm still stuck at the X logo. ( Yes, I have wiped my cache and done a factory reset via recovery ) Do you maybe have any other suggestions? Thanks.

Weird, unfortunately I'm pretty much out of ideas. Maybe its worth a try to flash the stock images of a different android version. (ie: if you flashed the 4.3 stock images, try flashing the 4.2 stock images)
EDIT: It worked, thank you so much man. Saved me from replacing it! One last question tho, I seem to have no Wifi? It can't turn wifi on.

Hi, I'm desperate today. I've been without my phone since a few days.
In the first place, I wanted to flash another custom ROM. I hadn't change anything to my N4, I was using AOSPAL. You know that F2FS has come, so I wanted to test it. After some fails, some resets, I succeeded to make my phone clean & fast (F2FS & custom kernel). Now I can tell you about my problem.
I noted that, after many tests/flashs, my phone can't boot after turning it off. I stuck at "Google" logo, the ROM apparently disappeared from my phone, or something else went wront. I don't know what.
Then I did a new factory reset, I flashed a ROM/Kernel without any changes to FS, but I got the same problem. If I reboot (reboot from adb, ROM...) my phone, it works. But if I turn it off, I'll stuck at "Google" logo the next boot.
I've actually no ideas, and Google gave me no results...
I'll try to make a new reset, or try another kernel... I don't know where I'm going.
Thanks for help and I wish you to have a nice day.
PS : I'm not a newbie, I already did more than hundreds flashes, some bricks, but I've never seen a similar problem.
Why don't you try flashing the factory image and start over. That should clean everything up

I've already done that each time before flashing any custom mod, since I got that problem.

This isn't the problem... I flashed the factory image many times. It works, but when I turn my N4 off and I want to boot it, I stuck at "Google".. When I reboot from the ROM or adb, there's no problems...

I assume you've done a factory reset in the stock recovery too? If so I think something is wrong with your phone. Is it still under warranty.

Mhhh when I tried F2F2 and wanted to try something else, I've not done a factory reset in the recovery (did you mean the format partitions in ext4fs or the wipe data/cache/dalvik ?). I used fastboot in order to erase all my partitions, then I flash the factory image archive through fastboot command "-w update".
I don't know whether something is wrong with my phone or not, but I've never seen that problem. It appeared when I did some tests with F2FS. That's all, that's so weird...

I would definitely try to flash the factory image again, then boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. F2FS may have borked something. I've never tried it since it does mess with the positions

hi'
I'm not sure if this can work. But it never hurts to try. After flashing stock ROM with CWM. Enter recovery and make full format of all partitions. System and Data partitions and cache and all. After that reinstall the stock rom using nexus tool kit for flashing mode in bootloop. after that flashing custom recovery again and do cleanup, but not the only formates cleanings. I believe you are having trouble reading recognition, partition boot. Uncompensated You must have notice a conflict of partitions on the system format.

I was wondering the same thing...
Thanks guys for your help, I'll flash stock again, and then I'll format correctly the partitions. I hope that's the good way...
Next time its stuck on the Google logo just try plugging in you're charger.
I had the same problem but not down to using F2FS but it did hang on the logo during boot.
After plugging in the charger it booted and hasn't stuck since.
Don't ask my why as I haven't a clue but it worked.

I plugged my N4, then I tried to flash the factory image again. That was fine. After flashing a custom ROM + custom kernel, still no probems after turning my phone off.
I can't explain why...

Try going to stock recovery and wipe data factory reset and then wipe cache.
Be sure to backup your photos and files and contacts on your internal memory.
Report back.

My Nexus 4 had been running Cyanogenmod (cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO334-mako) correctly for months. Two days ago, the screen failed to auto-rotate when I tilted the phone so I decided to reboot and see if that worked. Not only did it not work, the device went into a bootloop. It would boot, ask for my encryption password, accept the password but the OS would never start (I waited over 2 hours).
I'm able to use adb, fastboot, and access TWRP.
I tried reflashing CM12 to no avail. I've also tried going back to stock by reformatting all partitions in fastboot and flashing stock bootloader, radio, and system image (also in fastboot). That's where I'm at right now. I have everything stock except for the recovery partition where I have TWRP.
Here's the TWRP log: http://pastebin.com/MCKD73G0
Here's the dmesg log: http://pastebin.com/BdVjV2vz
Here's the last kernel message log: http://pastebin.com/DBQQBFQv
Any ideas?
I have a very strong hunch that this problem has got something to do with the sensors.
I flashed Android 4.2.2 and, to my surprise, the phone booted correctly into Android. No other ROM (stock or otherwise) would boot correctly. As I mentioned in the OP, screen auto-rotation isn't working so I downloaded an app to test other sensors. The proximity sensor, pressure sensor, light sensor, and the gyroscope don't work. I strongly doubt this is a software issue but I'm not ruling it out yet. I will try to open the phone case later tonight and move the sensor around, it might be stuck.
Just had a pro take a look at my phone. He said there's nothing wrong with the sensors so it must be a software problem. I've been trying to fix this for days now.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I just noticed that my phone does not have the /sys/class/sensors/ or /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/ folders, is this normal? If not, how can I solve this?

I had this issue twice.. flashing an old version of Frank ROM (in L preview times).. all my sensors got screwed... and trying to flash other roms or factory resetting the phone didn't work!
So I downloaded latest factory image and flashed it with the flashall.bat script
Voilà! All the sensors started to work again!! And they still work! So... some very deep part of the system can be wiped only by the stock recovery factory reset.. I don't know why though.. but that's it!

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, that didn't work. Flashing stock ROMs didn't work and neither did doing the factory reset.

Hey everyone, I have a really frustrating problem, I am currently able to boot into TWRP via hardware method and ADB can see my device as well. However I have tried to install a stock system image through TWRP and I have also tried to install another TWRP backup that a user had posted in the Q&A forum. At one time I was able to successfully boot into the system but my device said encryption unsuccessful. After wiping the system partition and trying to install these images through TWRP I am still unable to boot into the system. Whenever I install them my phone will reboot into TWRP. I am at a loss as to what to do. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would appreciate it.

I saw your other post in the other thread, but couldn't reply for some reason.. did you wipe the internal storage before restore?
Yes I did wipe the internal storage, I actually wiped everything the first time I tried to get everything in order and that was my original problem by wiping the system. I didn't realize that wiping internal storage would cause issues but that could have been one of the culprits. I think what finally solved my issue is I installed a deodexed rom and then powered down my device instead of rebooting and it booted up the rom. I had to flash SuperSU from a zip because for some reason the one that was preinstalled with that rom didn't install properly. So I installed the SuperSU zip and I am now officially rooted. Lesson learned DON'T WIPE SYSTEM OR INTERNAL STORAGE lol. I should have known better I have been rooting for awhile now, I just wasn't paying attention it happens to the best of us sometimes. Thanks for your help.

I used the deodexed ROM that is in the development forum. If I can upload it here I will if not just download it put it on your SD card and flash it. It may take a couple tries though I would suggest powering down your phone instead of rebooting it. Then turn it on and it should boot into the new rom. It's basically the same stock rom that our phone comes with. You may have to flash Chainfires SUPERSU zip that's in one of the threads. These steps should get you up and running again. Also if you can see your internal storage you're not encrypted. Hopefully that works for you. Let me know how it goes.
I wasnt able to upload the file from my phone. Just download it from here.

Flashing the rom helped me out. It's a system image file. It's basically the stock rom for our device just deodexed. What exactly happened what did you wipe after your phone booted into
TWRP? If you still have TWRP you're not bricked. If you can flash that image from the thread I copied above then you should be good. You may have to flash SUPERSU to get root back. Also after you flash make sure you're not encrypted if you can see your internal storage partition then you're not encrypted.

when I flashed the rom from your link above it just booted me into twrp again . I don't know what exactly I'm suppose to wipe. I can see internal storage tho so I guess that's a good sign but what's not good is that I can't use my phone :/ I've been rooting for years and can't seem to figure this one out.

When you flashed the rom did you power the phone down and then try to boot into the rom? That's what I did and it worked for me. So don't select reboot into system, I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way. I had to power my device down and then boot into the room. Also if you can see your internal partition in TWRP then you should be good and encryption is not enabled. I know how frustrating this is. Just keep trying eventually that rom should stick.

There a stock rom that I posted a link to a few posts back when I trying to help someone else. Download it put it on your SD card and install it. You don't need to wipe anything it will format things for you. After it installs don't reboot, power down the device and then turn it back on it should boot into the rom. That's what worked for me. I believe there was another way then what I just described it's in the same thread that I linked a few posts back. Good luck!!

Same. Though I am on US996. Not sure what I did, was exploring some behind the scenes stuff using 'hidden codes' but didn't change any values as I didn't know what they meant in most cases. I rebooted my phone and it went straight to TWRP (3.0.2-1) and it will not boot past TWRP. Occasionally after I've flashed something, it will boot into TWRP and the screen will be unresponsive to touch so I have to pull the battery, but then it will be fine again.
I was in your position not to long ago, I'm currently working on getting a .kdz recovery file for the H918. My progress will continue on it later when finals are over.
