Phone hangs on Dual core logo, need help

I had CM7 installed on my phone, and then i proceeded to update to the beta 2. I downloaded the file, then unpacked it on my phone sdcard then proceeded to reboot in recovery mode and cleared cache , dalvik, factory settings and then updated the zip file. then clear everything again and reboot. Get stuck on dual core logo.
I can still access recovery and mount usb to add files. can anyone tell me how to fix this?

did you make a backup before installing the beta?

It seems like you've never installed a ROM before, so I would advise you to read before you try again.
Try and restore it from the 1.8.3 SBF or restore from the CM7 pre-beta2.zip.
Don't unpack the zip file.
Oh and I feel obligated to ask, but did you install romracer's recovery?

I have Tenfar's recovery. Does it matter?
When you say restore, do you mean going in recovery mode and then apply the beta-update2.zip?
I also beleive my recovery got updated to Clockwork's when I had CM7 beta installed?
I have read another post on here that suggest I should RSD flash the 1.8.3 SDF and just start anew.
Should I do that? I was on 1.8.3 prior to installing CM7 beta

I understand I probably come across as a complete noob, but I did read before I did anything.
And now this happened and I just need help fixing it, you can just say. Yes flash back to 1.8.3 with RSD, I don't need a dot point instruction on how to do that.
Now my recovery is "ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.4" even tough i originally flashed Tenfar's
and my phone is unlocked.
I have tried many times to clear all caches and update the beta zip again and it does not work, I just get stuck on dual core logo again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Redownload beta 2 again (I've had problems related to bum d/l's). Install romracers recovery. Wipe. Reinstall.
If that fails use fastboot -w to wipe and reinstall.

Legend, thanks a lot now I can go back to sleep.
I installed romancer's recovery (unlike tenfar's it took like 5 times longer to clear cache and install the rom) but it did work.
thanks for taking the time man.

I think that you forgot to wipe cache and Dalvik cache from within CWM.
For me that did the trick ...

No I had wiped dalvik and cache prior and after update.
Either beta 2 doesn't like tenfars recovery or it was an issue with the download . Since I installed romancers recovery before I tried the new download we will never know

Why use tenfar's recovery when you can use CWM real recovery now.
That might help a lot...

im having the same problem but i used romracers recovery in the first place. ive tried everything and i tried to restore my alien backup but the recovery cant find it... did prebeta1 change the directory? im lost.

Fastboot -w.

4) Went to TWRP, System Wipe 3 times, Clear cache 3 times
5) attempt to flash AOKP ZIP
6) ZIP failed to install no idea why
7) Tried to restart and now stuck at the GOOGLE logo
Please help is there anything i can do?
Hmm could i use the toolkit to flash an img file? Im dling a stock img atm.

First off.. Don't panic ... It wasn't your fault it failed ... I know because it happened to me . don't get it from "downloads" or goomanager .. Get it from the second post I. That thread on the latest date
Second . I don't think otg works in twrp so you will have to use adb to load the ROM

OTG does work in TWRP. I have found that it doesn't like some flash drives - no idea why. I've tried quite a few, some of mine work all the time, other just won't work.

Ok went to twrp and used the ADB sideload feature but it said OTG cable fail to mount.

FIXED
WOOO FIXED IT NVM! Mod please delete thanks for help guys

Someone with more experience correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't we be avoiding wiping system in TWRP prior to flashing ROMs? I believe I read a thread (probably on RootzWiki) that said wiping system messes things up as you lose the ability to flash a ROM in the "traditional" manner. I wipe cache, dalvik, then click factory reset. I leave system alone and I've never had a problem with flashing ROMs.

[Q] Nexus 4 No OS. Only fastboot [SOLVED]

I recently tried to flash PA on my nexus.
Installed cwm on my phone. Then downloaded the PA ROM and moved to the device storage.
Rebooted into CWM and performed all the wipes.
I accidentally wiped the system and the internel partitions too.
when i tried to install ROM from sdcard. it says "NO FILES FOUND"
Iam stuck here. Phone wont boot into Android... any suggestions? please help!

How did you wipe system within CWM?
But since you say you wiped internal partitions too, it seems to me that you wiped your internal emulated sdcard... so I think your only option now is to flash stock images again... Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

If you don't want to flash the stock images you can also push a rom to your phone with adb while booted in a custom recovery
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/

Thanks guys. Found a solution.
Flashed TWRP and sideloaded the ROM file. And flashed it.
Earlier the same process with CWM was not successful. Now the phone is loaded with PA ROM!
Thanks guys! and can u point me to the google stock images??

wiped /system? have you tried simple re-flashing your ROM from the .zip ?

no worry... download the nexus 4 twrp latest img from their site, and flash it to your N4
what you needed:
twrp img file
some n4 rom
adb and fastboot
instructions:
boot to fastboot, vol key down + powerbutton when n4 is off.
on your comp, , dos/terminal - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
reboot in recovery
select the adb side load from advanced tab in the twrp.
on your comp - adb sideload rom.zip
everything done....reboot phone.

did you wipe using fastboot erase command? if so, you need to re-format to the android supported file system to access the partitions!
try installing the twrp recovery and perform 'FORMAT DATA' from wipe. then install ROM.

N4 no OS.

Installed Paranoid Android.. Stuck in boot loop

Hello everyone. I am desperately in need of your help! I installed the most recent version of Paranoid Android 4.4. Everything worked great. I then decided I wanted a smaller nav bar and found a flashable zip file for Kit Kat that was meant to reduce the nav bar size. I flashed it but now I am stuck in a boot loop. I am unable to get to TWRP but can get into download mode. I tried using FlashTool to flash the stock ROM but it keeps getting stuck at 49%. I don't mind if I lose all my data, I just want to get things up and running again! What should I do? Thank you.

The reason the flashtools is failing at 49% is because you are on a non stock rom, therefore you need to wipe the phone before flashing to stock (ive had the same problem before), but because you cant get into recovery, im not sure how you will wipe your device

Once you get into download mode, hold the buttons to get into recovery.

To get into recover
Try holding volume down + power*
Immediately when LG appears let go of both and ONLY hold onto power, should boot into option to factory reset*
Hit power button 3 times to continue, then itll load into recovery

If you cant get a rom sideloaded, Now that you can get into TWRP, wipe EVERYTHING and then flash back to stock, it should work.

By wipe everything do you mean format wipe or advanced wipe? And how will I get the stock rom onto the phone to flash it?

I mean wipe data, system and cache (internal storage aswell if you want) and you flash the stock rom via the flashtool and a pc, it doesn't need to be in your devices storage.

2 mistakes during flash, what can I do ?

good morning everybody,
I am a D802 user, and I have rooted it, installed TWRP last build and wanted to install the slimkat ROM
but, I don't know why, but first I didn't perform a backup, and secondly instead of performing the system wipe, I,ve been in advanced mode and decided to wipe the internal data :silly:
and of course, now I can,t find my zip file for the nex ROM, and when I reboot I am blocked on LG logo screen, I can enter in recovery or download mode, that's all !!!
is there any other solution that flashing the stock ROM (.kdz) to solve my problem ??
many thx !!

Cool, so if you install adb onto your PC and set it up you can sideload a ROM to your recovery....and if you want you can flash stock in download mode with thread in general forum....I'm hitting the sack but if you look up adb sideload you should be able to get all the instructions
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
Basically once you have adb setup and have a ROM ready its a piece of cake and lots of threads if you Google it

I think I will have a problem with ADB, because before flashing I disable the USB debugging mode !!!! and unfortunatly I can't enable it !! Am I true ???

Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk

look into your recovery settings, it should have an adb option you can togle, otherwise let it go in booting loop.
navigate to the folder with the files you rooted with. There should be a adb file.
then shift rightclick if windows on that folder that contains that stuff. Select command prompt from here.
adb devices,
or adb it will or should list the phone, then find the codes to push the desired rom and optional apps to root\sdcard.
then adb reboot recovery, or reboot manually into recovery and flash your rom plus optional gapps

anyway, I flash the stock rom in Download mode and then root, TWRP and custom Rom and everything is good now !!
