Are you flashing each partition manually? Does each partition flash properly? Are you using the flash-all.bat file in Windows?
It sounds like problem some devices have where they cannot run an OS above jellybean. If I recall correctly, no one knows what causes the error or how to solve it. But definitely try the above advice and flash all the partitions separately, etc.
If the phone can't boot and is stuck at the boot logo or boot animation, try flashing the userdata.img file, boot into recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.

Hello,
I've only yesterday rooted my phone for the very first time and followed a guide on how to flash PA. In the guide it told me to flash a radio and boot loader, which apparently I wasn't supposed to flash because I was on 4.3 already. So I didn't have service, someone told me to reflash 4.3 which I did using the stock rom downloaded from android dev page. But It won't flash the system it returns an error regarding the usb port. I flashed 4.2.2 which did flash the system but is apparently stuck on the loading screen (nexus X) for about 20 mins or so. Any help on how to reflash stock 4.3 and then reflash just PA 3.99 and Gapps?
cheers

Go into recovery and do factory reset, that should get u past the nexus X... Then just flash pa and gapps your done, flashing a radio and bootloader shouldn't have hurt anything unless u flashed wrong ones, recheck your versions on the files. U should be on a radio that ends in 84 (it works on 4 2.2 so dont worry... U dont need to be on 4.3 to flash pa, just factory reset first

I wanted to do that but my sd had been wiped, but it's been solved
Guys I know there are a ton of threads with this problem but no matter what I try, i'm still stuck on a boot loop.
So basically I had PA Rom 3.99 RC2 on my nexus and everything was fine. I then tried to flash PA AOSP kit kat build
but my phone would not boot so I went with a factory image occam 4.3 Phone booted and all was good. I was liking the
stock experience and then about 4 days later after a reboot, phone got stuck on the boot animation X. It would not get out of it
so I decided to flash PA Rom 3.99 rc2 again via ADB push zip. factory reset, installed the rom and gapps, wiped caches and thought i was good to go. Well the phone again would not get past the boot animation of PA.
i then decided to go with the Factory image occam 4.3 via fastboot and installed it and everything. Again stuck on the X. So then I tried PSX rom 4.3 again via adb push, did my factory reset and flashed the rom and gapps and superSu. Also got stuck on the boot animation. Left it for over 2 hours bootlooping and nothing.
Going crazy I went and fastboot the 4.2.2 JDQ39 img and downgraded bootloader, baseband. Installed it and again, stuck on the X animation. just hangs there.
Any help? i don't know what else to try, currently using my HD2 and it is sooo slow :cyclops:
Make sure to use latest cwm recovery. Avoid using twrp recovery. Use the toolkit and flash stock image. It will wipe everything in the phone but it will fix it.

Thanks for the suggestion but still nothing. Updated CWMR to 6.0.4.3 and tried the 4.3 stock image. Still hangs on bootup. android file transfer recognizes the device is plugged in via usb but just gives me the error "could not connect to device"
Oh man I don't know what's wrong with my nexus

I'm having this same issue, and it happened just like you. I flashed CM 10.2 nightly 20131114 this morning and I tested it to make sure everything was working. I decided to reboot the phone, and after that I keep getting stuck at the boot animation no matter what I did. To no avail, I reflashed a working zip, restored a backup, restored another backup, flashed the 4.4 factory image (wiping the entire phone), the 4.3 factory image, and then I read that the 4.2 baseband can fix it, so I flashed the 4.2 factory image. That 4.2 image gets it to boot, but without baseband. Right now I'm trying different radios just to see if I can get service again. If it matters, I was running the hybrid 33/84 radio for T-Mobile's LTE when this happened. Very, very peculiar situation here. I've never had anything like this happen, and especially remain an issue after wiping the entire device. I'm hoping it's not a sudden hardware issue.

just re-flash 4.2, it'll work. I've been doing that since Monday. but I want kitkat too!!
my device is stuck on the boot animation too. is there a way to reinstall the default 4.3 recovery and just rerun the update or something basic like that? my device was almost at stock before running the update. the only two things: twrp and rooted via recovery. so i thought everything will work fine and now there is no backup...

Why?
Just fastboot flash all the image files (boot.img,recovery.img....) from the factory image.
On flashing a Custom Rom, my phone gets stucked with continous FC ("Unfortunately Phone Crashed","Press OK") just after the phone boots.
I had faced the same problem earlier so someone on XDA suggested to use twrp recovery. Then i flashed the purity rom and it worked fine, but then as you may know now, as PA is out, so flashed it and again i'm getting continuous fc error....
currently i'm using purity rom, stock kernel and twrp recovery (2.6.3.3)
I would flash back to a stock 4.2.2 and start over. I find that this is the only way I can install certain roms.

Strange. Are you updating the bootloader and radio before flashing a 4.4 rom?
Are you doing a factory reset???? And flashing a proper gapps after ROM? You should always do this when going from one ROM to another. Sometimes a manual format of /system is necessary also.
no i am not updating my bootloader and radio before flashing (rather didn't know if i had to update them,fyi i bought my nexus 4 this september)....and yes i'm doing a factory reset (using the wipe option in twrp recovery which warns clearing of data, cache and dalvik memory)
Title says it all. Fastboot works, flashing works. Even if I try to charge the phone on power off condition, it loops infinitely to splash screen. Tried flashing both custom and official ROMs via fastboot. I don't think this is an emmc problem since I can still format and erase all partitions.
Before all of this, I used the official RR Nougat ROM. Everything works fine until it suddenly bootloops out of thin air.

I have tried to flash via QFIL, but it stopped midway flashing the system and device won't turn on now
I guess it's just me messing up somehow with the cables or something
Thank you anyway mshoaib7!

Try this one. May help u. Extract from official ROM. And flash those things. System IMG is not needed if u have any old backup means. Flash use this. Go to recovery and restore old one.
Bcz system image is large, so sumtyms it fails to flash. That's y I said lrave the system data image flashing and restore the backup.

how to properly revert back from mm or nougat roms to stock kitkat rom?
I was on cm13 by ed300, then I tried to restore nandroid backup of stock kk via twrp
then my phone stuck on boot logo, only fastboot mode works, then flashed twrp and stock kk rom after some attempts.
So what are the steps to successfully revert back to kk? (in case this problem happens again in future)
Hi! Guys I have a problem, which doesn't resemble the BLOD, so here is what has happened. I was running stock android June build on 6p, rooted. And my phone started random reboots. I thought it could be fixed with either stock or custom rom. So I decided to flash AOSPA. I went into twrp but could not flash it, phone rebooted each time. I tried stock images via flash all command as well as manual. No rom worked although I could flash kernel etc. I used The Flash's custom twrp and fixed data and was able to flash rom easily, but it bootlooped on google logo, and rebooted. Now I can flash roms etc but it bootloops. Although Tesla rom did go into bootanimation before bootlooping.
So what can I do? Is it software related? What do you guys say!
PS. I did look into other threads, nothing was similar, although I did try a few mentioned fixes.

Use fastboot to FORMAT system, userdata and cache. Note any errors during the FORMAT process.... and then try flashing a full image from Google using flash-all.bat

I'd say you were squarely in a small group of people who are able to access and fully use Recovery but still boot loop after formatting and installing a clean image. If you've already tried a factory reset from the stock recovery I think you are done. Hardware issue. Replacing the motherboard is a fix, but not economically viable.
I had the same issue formatting data and cache to Ext4 and flashing modified stock ROM fixed. It would boot to Google logo freeze reboot and sometimes get to boot animation freeze and reboot.

Cortex ROM it's flashable stock firmware with extras . Though my symptoms where the same I hope I'm not giving you false hope. Worth a shot though.
The only was I recover my phone without replacing is using https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/boot-images-bootloop-t3633723 < method from here... but the phone is lag af as it is only running 1 core on stock july build. Good luck for that.
I have the same issue going on. i was trying to flash magisx and suddenly it is stuck in bootloop. i tried flashing stock images and everything. i can access twrp and flash eveything and they are getting flashed fine but still it is stuck on the bootloop.

So have you used fastboot to FORMAT system, userdata and cache? Did each format command complete with no errors?
