Hello,
I had android 4.3 on my nexus 7. I am rooted with unlocked bootloader with TWRP 2.6.3.0. I saw an update for 4.4.2. I told it to apply and it booted into TWRP and applied the update. Upon reboot, I get the Google logo screen for a bit. Then it flashes and the logo shows up again. Then it reboots into TWRP. I tried flashed the OTA update again but that failed. Then I tried doing a factory restore but that doesn't fix the issue. What do I have to do next?
Well I downloaded the 4.4 source code and flashed that. Now its booting at least. Time to restore my data
Ok
i am at a loss I have my mates nexus 4 (vanilla no root locked bootloader) just OTA updated to 4.4.2 stuck on Android is upgrading Starting apps two hours on that screen powered down reboot and boot loop from there in
So thinking i could rescue with a little trickery i took it home ...so far i have these results
tried wipe cache and factory reset from Google standard recovery ... nothing
installed CWM wiped everything (cache dalvik system data) .. nothing
gave up flashed factory google image (4.4.2) from bootloader ... same "starting apps" freeze again, reboot to recovery wiped everything then boot looped on trying a reboot
"
flashed factory image 4.4 same results boots once locks on starting apps then bootloop every boot after then
flashed 4.1 factory image (earliest build) ... Success got it to load everything working .. yay
OTA update came through to i think 4.1.3 that worked
OTA for 4.2.2 just installed and back to Android is upgrading "starting apps" and frozen there now for half hour
this is a clean install every inch of the phone has been completely reset no apps other than factory google apps are installed can someone PLEASE give me some advice im at a loss.
thanks guys

Hello, I have just about the same problem as you do/did I haven't figured a way to fiz it. Any ideas?
I've got the exact same problem. Used the factory image to flash lollipop on my friend's Nexus 4 and it worked flawlessly. Next day he comes to me and says it froze and he force restarted and it wouldn't boot. Tried flashing the factory image again, tried flashing a several custom roms through twrp, and nothing will fully boot it will either loop or get stuck on starting apps. The only thing that has booted so far is the 4.1 factory image. Any ideas?
well guys help me out i am stuck in jeopardy
my device got soft brick i can boot into recovery but it is stuck on Google logo

Ok so i recently tried to upgrade my nexus 4 to 4.4 paranoid android and when i went into CWM and flashed it it said error, so i cleared the cache and everything then i reflashed the previous version (like 4.2) i used to have and then flashed the gapps, but now everytime I hit reboot it reboots again and then goes to cwm again and i really have no idea to fix help. Help plz.
Update your recovery and if this doesnt help try it with a different recovery
I manually flashed the 5.0 factory image to my 2012 WiFi Nexus 7 when it first came out and then flashed TWRP afterwards. Today I finally had time and wanted to update to 5.0.2 so I just used fastboot and flashed boot.img and system.img, to keep my data and recovery, yet somehow it replaced my recovery with the stock one.
It did this same thing on my Nexus 4 as well. How is this even possible? I flashed only boot and system and had TWRP.
It's not a problem or anything because I'll just reflash TWRP, I just wonder how it happens?
