Long shot but you might have a similar problem to mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/soft-bricked-nexus-4-guide-t3287284
So far, I haven't fixed it. I'm stuck using 4.2.2 because it's the only one ROM that will actually boot.
Maybe erase userdata in fastboot?

You have wiped your ROM, that's why it won't boot. You need to flash a new ROM now. Can you get into the bootloader/recovery?

After you flash the mako image you need to boot into recovery and clear cache/factory reset. Then it will boot past the X.

Try using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit
Try the back to stock option select softbrick/Bootloop
See if that can get you back to stock.
Thx so much!
Thank you so much!!! It's back!!!
So this is going to be a step by step of my problem. 1 I unlocked my bootloader manually without using a tool kit. 2 I proceeded to flash custom recovery twrp 2.6.3.0. 3. From the bootloader screen I select recovery and and when twrp open it immediately asks for a password that I have no clue what it is, so I click cancel.4 I go to do a factory reset within twrp and It fails, so then I go back to the main screen of twrp and select mount and I notice that the system and data options are unchecked so I check them and then there is the option to decrypt data so I select that and again I need to input a password to continue. 5 after all this fustration I then open nexus root toolkit by wug and click the option to flash stock + unroot (current status:soft bricked/bootloop). So the toolkit does what it needs to but after all that my n4 still does not boot pass the colorful X logo. So this is my issue hope I can get some help
Try going into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset from there.

I would like to do that but can not since my phone is stuck in the nexus X animation
Hi,
I tried out ubuntu touch and wanted to revert to stock before flashing cm (because I havn't had a rom on my storage).
After flashing the stock image via fastboot (using that flash-all.sh included in official download) my nexus stucks at boot animation.
Then I flashed recovery (I tried both, CWM and TWRP) and tried to do a factory reset -> unable to mount internal storage, also the space of my internal storage was 0MB (obviously because it can't mount anything), so it exited with an error. Then I formatted just every partion in CWM and I was able to mount again, flashed stock image ... stuck at boot animation. Tried flashing cm via sideload... stuck at boot animation.
Google didn't helped me.
Does somebody know what to do now?
Thanks

After you flash the stock image boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Should solve your problem

you should only have to clear the cache...factory reset shouldn't be necessary. Remember if you do have to do a factory reset, it will wipe all your storage completely if you use stock recovery to do it. Don't forget to back everything up first!

Does not work, it just stays at the screen with dat red triangle. Also vol up + power at same and other things I found in google don't work.
I already made backups, but anyway, they wouldn't help me in any way, if I don't have a working phone..

Boot into fastboot mode. Then from your pc with your device hooked up via usb type fastboot boot recovery. See if that will get you into recovery
Sent from my Nexus 5
It says 'cannot load 'recovery'' and also, I tried flashing ubuntu touch again and it worked.
Edit:
I think it has something to do with my /data partition. It said unable to mount /data again. After fixing that (for some reason it works if I select "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)" (CWM) I can also format /data. But there a difference between that an all other partitions: for every other partition its like that: mount -> format -> unmount, but for /data it just don't do the last step, it stays mounted.
No on an idea? Do I need to send it in?
Try downloading The Root Toolkit Here.
Connect your phone, open the toolkit. On The First Page select "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and Flash Stock+Unroot.
This should Help.
Yeeeeeeey, I have no idea what the tool did, but it works now
Thank you for the tip

If you can start the phone in bootloader mode (press volume down and power) can use the stock google images that are downloaded from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Same here......
Download the stock Lollipop images from here and follow efrant's guide to flash your device. Make sure to try and restart your phone twice after flashing, for some reason I always get a bootloop the first time.
i can start the phone in bootloader and already tried using original image 4.4.4 but after that phone still in bootloop (the only difference that the phone now in bootloopon 4.4.4
)
I found the solution!
Guys, go to recovery options through bootloader and then wipe cache and factory reset and reboot. Then just be patient and wait for 5 minutes..
Blooming frustrating
I have the dreaded bootloop as well.
I have tried every option I can think of.
NRT with its own download
NRT with the download from the Google Factory Image site
Using the flash-all method
Flashing the img files
Clearing the cache after flashing.
Constant bootloop.
WTF am I doing wrong?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Thanks to amsaiegh for efrant's guide guide but i used ADB installer v1.3 to flash the image manually
Will try to flash lollipop soon again
