Nexus 4 Stuck on Boot Animation

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.

OP2 soft bricked, can't access recovery, not recognized by laptop

Hey,
Very strange query but here goes. Rooted phone a while back and installed CM13 along with recovery. Was trying to update TWRP{ by downloading .img from their website, went to flashing, selected the file and hit recovery. Said it was succesful so attempted to reboot. Plugged in to charge and was charging but when I tried to switch it on, it was stuck in Cyanogen Bootloop (blue alien stayed on the screen for 10+ minutes). Tried rebooting to recovery by hitting power + volume down and instead of booting to TWRP, it takes me to a Cyanogen recovery screen where I see the following options:
Cyanogen Recovery.
- Reboot system now
- Apply update
- - -apply from ADB
- - -choose from emulated
- Factory reset
- - -system reset
- - -full factory reset
- - -wipe cache
- Advanced
- - -reboot recovery
- - -reboot to bootloader
- - -Wipe system partition
- - -view recovery logs
Here's what I tried as troubleshooting. Tried to do a system reset, factory reset and wiped cache and tried to restart my phone but no luck. Still stuck in boot loop with CM logo. Tried to reboot to bootloader but the screen is stuck with the 1+ logo for about 5 mins so gave up on that.
Basically, right now I can't access anything on the phone, can't find any way to reinstall a ROM and when I plug it into my Macbook, it is not recognised. So I'm screwed sideways. I had TWRP recovery set up so I have no clue how this happened but can anyone please help me with this.

If data isn't at risk try the Qualcomm recovery tool one the oneplus forum it's by nammand bhal (definitely butchered the name) but all data is lost and resets the phone to out of box conditions locked bootloader and Oos 2.2.1 so this is often a last measure (tool is Windows but may have Mac variant and the file is quite big)
My suggestion is to try to boot to bootloader again and flash TWRP
hmm mac book I don't have much experience with those
If you have a Windows pc you can use adb or on Mac if it has it. Also when it come to being found by a computer in recovery it should but again don't have a mac

CM13 replaced your TWRP recovery with Cyanogen Recovery.
Try to boot into fastboot by holding volume up+ power buttons. If successfull, flash TWRP Recovery, boot into it, wipe everything and do a clean install of the ROM.
Macbook won't detect your device unless it is booted up, in recovery or in fastboot mode.
Doesn't it detect while you are in CM Recovery??
Try selecting Apply Update and Update from ADB. It should detect the device atleast now. If yes, try sideloading.

I knew I would regret getting that macbook at some point
Borrowed a friend's PC and was able to flash TWRP recovery. Was then able to boot into it and do a clean install. Ended up installing Oxygen OS this time. Do you know why this issue occurred so I can research how to prevent it next time.

Actually I don't think the issue was with the Macbook since I have unlocked, flashed custom recoveries and sideloaded ROMs on several devices including OP2, OP3, Nexus 5, etc on mine. It might have been some accidental flashing error, which unfortunately ended up bricking your device.

Help Needed: Phone stuck on Motorola's warning screen.

Ok so recently I was backing up and wiping my phone as a procedure I do every couple of months to make sure everything's up-to-date.
But when I tried to boot into it this time, it got stuck on Motorola's unlocked bootloader screen and won't boot into recovery mode or turn off.
Everytime I try to turn it off, it reboots to said screen and gets stuck. My previous root was phh's Superuser, and I was upgrading it to Magisk's root.
I was also upgrading twrp 3.0.0 athene to twrp 3.1.1.
Currently I have the stock firmware downloaded from AndroidSages and the OTA Update pulled from my phone, as well as all the files stated above.
All I'm trying to do is boot into recovery mode, as I can make my way from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hold power and volume down for 2-5mins it will boot into bootloader from there you can boot into recovery or flash the stock rom
ADB will not work unless you are booted into bootloader or the os

That's the issue, it's not booting into recovery mode. If I could boot into TWRP I could push the stock firmware to the phone and I think I'd be all well and good.
What seems to be happening is that because the warning message comes before the phone can boot into recovery mode I can't boot into recovery mode.
That advice would be more helpful for someone with a different issue.

So you saying you can boot into bootloader
If yes then try reflashing the twrp
Or just boot recovery using fast boot
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
Try the older version

Maybe I wasn't being clear the first time but here's a vidual interpretation. The issue I'm having is that I can't boot into the bootloader, if I could I'd do what you said.
A Proper Load: Device Powers On > Motorola Boot Warning > Bootloader/Recovery/Normal Boot
My Issue: Device Powers On > Motorola Boot Warning [Freeze]

Somehow it fixed itself. All I did was reinstall Android Studio and the Android SDK and it work.
ADB wasn't showing any devices before the install, but now it is.
In case this happens in the future, can someone figure out what the hell happened?

Now that issue is solved, my wifi seems to not be working. From the moment I booted into the stock rom I haven't been able to connect/view any wifi networks.

[help] my phone is hard bricked !!!

I was running B618 on my phone (rooted and tweaked a little bit), A few days ago I realized that I am running an outdated version so I decided to update to B630. I downloaded the update extracted it with HUAWEI UPDATE EXTRACTOR and while extracting I saw there was an option to make flashable zip so I decided to try to flash it through TWRP (my biggest mistake). I restarted phone into recovery mode, wiped everything and flashed the zip and restarted the phone, at restarting TWRP warned me about NO OS INSTALLED but I ignored and restarted and boom.... I was holding a bricked phone, Nothing on screen not a single sign of phone being alive, just notification light blinking red and green when power button is pressed. Googled it on internet and found that it can be fixed through jtag box.
I took my phone to a repairer and he promised me that he can take my phone to fastboot mode by JTAG BOX and further software flashing I will do it myself. After 2 days he called me that your phone is successfully in fastboot mode you can take it. I took the phone from him paid him his fee and came back home, Now my phone was running a very basic version of EMUI 2.0 which was looking like EMUI 3.1 with no apps in it just some testing apps shortcuts and gallery and other basic apps. In about phone section it was showing android version 4.3 and EMUI 2.0 and internal storage was just 450mb.
I restarted into fastboot mode flashed the boot, cust, recovery, system and rebooted the phone and boom..... Once again a bricked phone with just total red screen. I googled and again found nothing, then I saw fastboot log on cmd and the issue was that the phone's eMMC is partitioned at just 450mbs and the 2.26GB system.img file is not able be saved into phone.
Is there a way I can fix this now, Its also not booting into recovery I've tried all the commands, and when I try to format through fastboot it gives an error saying that formatting is not allowed on file system type 0.5
PLEASE IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO FIX THIS PLEASE TELL ME
I WILL BE VERY THANKFUL TO YOU GUYS.

Huawei Y5 MYA-L22, NO ROOM, NO STOCK RECOVERY, FRP LOCKED

So I tried to unlock the bootloader of this phone and installed TWRP recovery and I did but then when I opened the phone I found no IMEI for the both SIM cards, anyway I thought it's a simple Rom reinstall problem, so at first it would sometimes boot into Stock recovery and sometime TWRP recovery, when it booted into TWRP Recovery I wiped everything accidentally and now the phone is Romless with a TWRP recovery only. I tried to flash Many custom roms and after flashing it just says no OS and boots into recovery again. the phone is like a rock
In Conclusion:
1. There's no OS
2. Only TWRP recovery
3. I can't flash stock recovery because OEM unlock is not enabled and in order to enable it I have to go to Developer options which I don't even have an OS to do this
4. I need stock Recovery to apply the update.app method
I need anyhelp to get the OS or Rom installed again even if it's custom ROM! I just want it to boot up!
UPDATE: I broke the TWRP recovery too! now it just boots on the Huawei logo for like 0.1 second and restarts and Huawei logo again and it keeps doing this, I can't acess anyhting

Hello,
Sorry for your phone,
You should use SP flash tool to recover it, you need to download a full ROM for this phone and then flash it to the phone,
You should find the tools via google easily!
Good luck
I think the imei problem will still exist, when you recover the phone, then I may guide you to overcome the imei problem..

BTW if you plug the USB you will get into default emergency recovery,, else you will get into TWRP

SP tool will work for sure , just do it. It doesn't need twrp or any thing

Did you solve it? I got a Y5 on the same condition
