Wait a sec, did you install another kernel, or any lag hacks before doing so? If so, IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT!!!
Were you using vanilla Samsung firmware?

If you're using a GT540 then look at this.
If you are using the P970 then look at this.

You're saying that the pattern lock is still there after a KDZ update? I though KDZ updates overwrite existing partitions including the data partition.

It doesn't overwrite data or cache, this is why you get stuck at the android screen if you used a 2.2/2.3 custom rom (due to incompatible data such as dalvik-cache and other settings), and flashed a 2.1 with fastboot KDZ, you need to factory reset before hand to resolve this.

I had an experience yesterday with this problem with Optimus Black...The problem with the posted solution here our phone does not have a Home button so this solution not fit with ours, however upon experimenting things I do discover that in replacement for home button we can use the button at the left side of phone (Gesture Button) here how it will go.
-Turn off your phone.
-Hold Volume down together with G button.
-press the power button while still holding the Volume down and G button until it powers on.

[Q] Probably bricked nexus 4 ?

so im working on a friends nexus 4 , after a few complications trying to install rom , which is rare for me and is easy , the phone wouldnt get past the boot animation , i tried flashing stock , everything passes with a success but still gets stuck at the boot animation , twrp gives:
mount: unable to find partition for path "/sdcard"
unmount: unable to find partition for path "/sdcard"
updating partition details . . .
E: unable to mount "/cache" <Says this 4 times>
Done.
Updating partition details . . .
Starting ADB sideload . . .
i tried to use sideload in twrp but it doesnt go anywhere , i figured if i couldnt flash stock through bootloader , i might aswell try adb sideload , but its a no-go.
any input would be helpful on this , and im willing to try anything to revive this guy's phone . thanks in advance.
by the way i do have NRT installed and up to date , and my android sdk and drivers are good to go , like i said this is a problem i haven't encountered on my n4

i was able to install CWM through the bootlaoder and get into adb sideload , ill update this post with results.

So you used a toolkit to flash stock? Try doing it manually using this guide.

If your phone registers as 8 GB when it's a 16 GB device you need to reset to factory within Android. This is a bug in Android 4.3.

Chromium_ helped me solve the storage size problem , but the current problem is for some reason the phone won't mount to the computer or detect adb , even with USB debugging enabled and everything .

Are you rooted? Are you on Stock Rooted ROM? OR Non Rooted? If you don't know these words and reading them first time..type no.

Is your N4 rooted ?

no root!

With no root, the only way to get rid of this bootloop is to factory reset, you can do it in recovery by pressing volume down + power at the same time, then you choose Recovery with the volume button. BUT you will loose everything ( pics, apps, etc. ).
But I hope that someone can give you another solution less "destructive".

Can he do a back up using ADB and then do a partial restoration after a factory reset?
Will adb backup work if the phone's not booting? .. I know that adb works when in a bootloop, but in the guide it shows a prompt to enter some encryption password ... I summon android wizards to answer this ...

adb works with no os. that's how CM installer installs CM11 through usb (ADB) even when the phone can only enter recovery

Downgrade from Nougat causes loss of vibrator

Hi,
I had a rooted phone and TWRP and was using the latest Nougat release. However i decided to return to stock so using Kies i did a full factory reset.
It's working - however i've lost the vibrator functionality. I can hear a faint beep whenever the phone should vibrate. The only solution i can find here on xda seems to be downgrading the bootloader, so i'ved tried flashing everything through Odin with same results.
When I try to open the bootloader (volume up, power and home button) it shows the Android updating screen (installing system update) which after a while fails (exclamation mark) - and shows the Samsung bootloader where i can reset phone, clear cache etc.
Any ideas on how to fix the vibrator?

Temporarily upgrade to Android 7 to fix the vibration issue then use odin to flash final version of android 6.0.1. You must flash all 4 files contained in the extracted (unzipped) firmware package but ignore the home_CSC file. IMPORTANT...tick the option in odin "phone bootloader update". This process will wipe all data on the phone full but will give you a fully functioning galaxy s7 with Android 6.0.1 marshmallow!

Hi,
I'm interested to learn how you downgraded your boot-loader from DRAG update? Can you please explain?
