Hi, doing this for a friend whose Nexus 4 was stuck at the boot screen. Tried many things but even now still stuck at the boot screen.
1) unlocked bootloader
2) installed custom recovery (tried both twrp and cwm)
3) tried installing 3-4 different custom ROM's but for each of those, it does not go past the boot screen
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Flash a stock rom, including the userdata.img file, which should be the last partition flashed to the phone, boot directly to recovery from fastboot mode, factory wipe, and reboot.

I had TWRP installed and have several nandroid recoveries. After messing around on a few kitkat roms, i decided to recover back to a jellybean rom, but forgot the baseline, and now im stuck in a boot loop. I attempted to boot into recovery but my TWRP enters a blank screen and does nothing. is there a quick way I can recover back to one of my nandroids?
ended up using fastboot to flash baseband and then was able to enter my custom recovery. Problem solved, feel free to delete thread.
Hi, I just tried Modding on Android for the first time. I went about this using adb commands in Ubuntu Terminal. I unlocked my bootloader then (I think) I flashed twrp recovery onto my Nexus 4 (Build Number LMY470.) When I went to check if my flashing of twrp was successful, it brought me stock recovery. I saw online that someone was in the same situation and they used the
Code:
fastboot erase cache
so I tried the same. In the terminal it looked like it was successful but as soon as I went to recovery mode it brought me to stock recovery again. In the recovery menu it said something about failing unmount or something. After this I tried turning my phone on and it has been stuck in the boot animation for the past 50 minutes. What should I do? Thanks!
EDIT: I factory reset my device after an hour and a half of not knowing you could get out of the boot animation. Now my recovery works. No replies needed.
I decided to unlock the bootloader so that i could flash TWRP recovery but after unlocking the bootloader on my device, it has been stuck on the logo screen with "powered by android" under it. I have tried using fastboot to clear userdata & cache but that just leads to my phone again being stuck on the logo screen. The device also can't boot into recovery. When I chose to power off in fastboot it causes me to be stuck on the logo screen. Any help is appreciated I am on android oreo btw
Did you try a back to stock zip? go to fastboot and run flash-all.bat, while your device is plugged in ofcourse.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let me guess.
You unlocked the boot loader and flashed TWRP and now you are looping, right?
There is no compatible TWRP that is compatible with Oreo on this phone.
You cannot leave TWRP installed. You can only install it along enough to get the recovery to boot.
You then must flash the stock boot image.
I had this problem tonight also. In my case I suspect it had to do with the install of magisk in which I checked both boxes and patched the bootloader. on reboot I was stuck on boot. Just wanted to add my solution. I got the pie back to stock zip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 then I put it into the adb folder and ran the flashall.bat script. I tried the no wipe one and it saved my information. very happy I didnt have to resetup my phone in the end.
did you remember to flash a stock boot.img before flashing magisk (to clear TWRP?)
