HELP?! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just installed TWRP 3.0.2-0 on my Nexus 4 with the twrp installer app and it installed fine. When I rebooted from recovery to go back to the regular phone, it booted straight back into twrp again... So I flashed stock android with Nexus root toolkit and it successfully flashed it so it said and it still only boots into either bootloader or twrp recovery... Powering on with just the power button goes straight to recovery. Why is this? How can I fix it?

I don't think twrp should be on the phone if the phone was successfully flash to a stock rom unless you didn't flash stock recovery.

Managed to fix it... My Nexus 4 lives for another day!

[Help]Looped bootup after update

After I was presented with a system update about a week ago my nexus s entered a boot loop, not knowing why I tried to restart it a couple of types via removing the battery. That didn't work so I entered the Fastboot mode and tried to go into recovery but I couldn't do that because I was then presented with a exclamation mark like picture on my Nexus S, My phone was rooted before because I wanted to install Miui rom, then when I went back to stock rom and everything seemed to work fine, but when I tried to change my rom again it said I wasn't rooted but on my bootsceen it says I'm unlocked. I also did a permission test, from here I don't know what to do if anyone could help me I'd be very grateful.

I've got a soft brick going on

OK, I've had my S4 a couple months. It's already been rooted, with TWRP installed and also MDOB custom ROM. But tonight I decided to replace TWRP recovery with CWM then I was going to flash CM 10.2. after flashing CWM I now have the yellow triangle and a message saying "system software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone" and the phone won't boot nor recovery is working. With no recovery I can't reflash the current ROM i had installed, I have the MDOB file on my memory card ready to reflash, but the phone won't do nothing. What to do now?
Can you get into download mode by pressing home, power, and volume down at the same time while booting up? If so, you could use this guide I've had success with. http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-tutorials/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s4-and-remove-root-completely/

I had a similar issue were I flashed philz recovery and it wasn't the loki'd zip.I to had the triangle of death with unauthorized ATT msg, I tried three times to boot into recovery and the last time I tried it went to (pic posted)and from there I pushed down for restart phone.it booted up like a regular reboot and was OK.
Also after it booted I lost custom recovery, so like I did the first time I achieved recovery I flashed with ROM manager clicking the T-Mobile S4 when prompted. Note : only use ROM manager to flash recovery.now use recovery to flash a auto Loki recovery. Hit thanks if I helped

Can't boot, Can't get into recovery, Can't flash to stock.

I appear to be bricked. I flashed a recovery via flashify. Phone gets stuck on fastboot. This is coming from Houstonn's excellent PA rom. Tried to go to recovery. Goes back to fastboot. It just shows udc start. Tried connecting to my PC to flash another recovery via fastboot and it's a no go. Just shows wating for fastboot. Booting doesnt work either. Bootloop. So I figured game over and I'll flash to stock. To my horror, the restore process stops at 49%. Apparently, you have to come from a stock based kernal for it to work. Am I bricked for good?
Hello you must flash a stock Rom in the download mode.
Sorry... I don't saw that the flash stops
Then you must install twrp and costumrome again

Thanks for trying to help. I got it fixed without losing data. I got it to boot into the rom after shutting it down for an hour. Apparently it was overheating thats why it didn't boot. But if for stuck at the starting apps screen. So used adb to flash recovery again. Booted into recovery and reflashed rom after clearing data. Running like a champ now.

LG Magna LTE (H520G): booting into recovery mode causes factory reset

Hello, community!
I've successfully rooted my LG Magna LTE (H520G) using Kingroot and then replacing it with SuperSU via @Mr.W0lf's script.
I wanted to install the Xposed framework, so I booted into recovery mode, using Power+VolDown, as usual in LG devices, but instead of going into the recovery menu, the Android with the spinning polygons popped up, and then the phone rebooted into a factory-reset state, having to download and configure everything from scratch again.
Did I miss a step here, or does the rooting method change the recovery-boot shortcut in some way?
I think, nothing changed..
I had always the same problem with my magna.
Now i have twrp and working xposed, so you can just flash twrp.

Thing is, when I tried to flash TWRP, the phone factory-reset itself, so I can't install TWRP via recovery reboot
The stock recovery factory resets. That's normal.
Try installing twrp through adb or through the twrp install app.

Nougat recovery partition connected to the boot image?

I flashed the magisk uninstaller which puts the original stock boot image on. However doing this has also removed my twrp recovery (my phone is now on stock recovery image). Are the partitions now directly linked in nougat?

No. Nougat automatically overwrites your recovery. If you want TWRP, then you either need a modified boot image, or after you flash TWRP on stock boot image, immediately boot into recovery and root your phone with Super SU.
