[Q] Problem with nexus 4 toolkit [help]

Guys I need help .. I was doing some tests and now I find myself having the Nexus 4 that starting it stops at a black screen with the words Google and a small white padlock at the bottom, and I can not turn it on. If I wait for the screen is transformed into X color (the same as the power) but stays there ..
I try to reconstruct what I did.
After making sure that the drivers are installed I unlocked the bootloader: procedure successful
After that I installed the CWrecovery touch: operation successful
After that I tried to Please install the root, I selected option 2 or mode by Chainfire.
I appeared the message about "waiting for the USB debugging to be enabled"
And now it's in this state. Please help me, my conoscinze not allow me to go out.
Still can enter into fastboot mode and recovery mode (have clockwork recovery touch).

Is my Nexus 4 bricked or irreperably broken?

Hello people,
I have a German Nexus 4 and it gets stuck in bootloop whenever I turn the power on.
I've had issues with the phone since the last few months - i.e. random reboots, random program crashes.
But recently I tried to root it in order to install the Android L developer preview. It was during the booting process, when my Nexus crashed and it has been unable to boot ever since.
When I push all three buttons (power + 2 volume rocker buttons) simultaneously, I get the fastboot screen.
Choosing the following options has these effects:
Start --> phone tries to boot but gets stuck in bootloop forever and ever
Restart bootloader --> restarts the fastboot screen
Recovery mode --> phone shows the robot with an opened belly and a red warning sign (see photograph)*
Power Off --> turns the power off
Also, it is NOT detected or recognized by my Macbook when I connect the Nexus via USB cable. So it's impossible for me to access the phone via my Macbook.
*This is the screen shown when I try to go into Recovery mode in fastboot:
[can't upload outside link to image]
So this leaves me with no options as I never get further than the 4 turning circles forever and ever.
Is my Nexus 4 broken or is there still a chance to unbrick it? (I have a MacBook, so Windows programs won't work for me)

Of course it's not possible to recognize it when OS is not running.
Download WugFresh toolkit, ADB drivers (Universal) and the factory image. Enter fastboot, connect USB and flash the image

Your phone is not hardbricked, because it boots into the bootloader.
It might be recovered if you can access it with fastboot.
Try uninstalling all related drivers and install the Naked Universal Driver.

Thanks for your replies!
Unfortunately, the programs you mentionned don't work on my Mac (they seem to be Windows-only).
Also, how can I install stuff on my Nexus? Since it is not recognized by my MacBook, I can't load any files onto my Nexus.
And since any command on the fastboot screen only leads to the phone powered off, restart of the fastboot screen or the mentionned bootloop, I cannot perform any actions on the Nexus ...

Go to a friend with Windows.

Problem solved!
Somehow after the 1000th bootloop I finally reached the screen where I could wipe the phone.
And then it finally booted! Now all the data are lost and it's like a new phone, but at least it's working again!

How long was the boot loop? Was it the new boot animation from L?
Because when you flash L, the first boot up may take up to 15 minutes, leading you into thinking it's a boot loop.

Has my phone died?

Hi everybody,
I was trying to flash with Nexus Rootkit Android 5.0 in my Nexus 4 with CM11 and I think my phone has died. I try to go trough the Bootloader or the Recovery but in both cases appears a Blue screen with little pink squares and then appears the first configuration screen of CM but in Safe Mode and a persistent error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" and the options Report or OK, doesn´t matter wich one I press, appears the same message one time and another. Could someone help me, please?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is it at the setup screen? if it is then you should reflash an older version, then flash the 5.0. That worked for me. Hope this helps.

Hi! I'm having problems too, I'm having the typical bootloop.
I've flashed it 4 times and it still in bootloop, any solution? I can't even enter the recovery like other users

Does the phone boot properly to the desktop after flashing the latest stock ROM?

yes it boots normal
btw little update i found out i can use my recovery my screen just dont show any thing
i found that out because everytime i was downgrading from 5.1.0 to 4.4.2 i had to do wipe data or it wont boot
i tryed to go in recovery and go 3 down (wipe data) and then 7 down (yes) just with youtube videos and it worked before the wipe my phone does not start on 4.4.2
that means that my recovery is working but screen just doesnt show it
it doesnt show anything but the white samsung logo, normal system, downloadmode
at any other time my display ist blank
as an example when i turn it on i see the white logo then screen turns blank i hear the bootup sound, after 15 sec screen goes black and when i press unlock i can normal use the phone
but why is it blank while booting and in recovery and also is a bit flickering when phone is turned on normal

Recovery works on stock lollipop?

yes recovery works but screen does not when i enter it

i called in a repair shop they told me maybe the backlight control is broken???
because i also cant change my brightness its set to max and doesent get darker when i move the slider

K920 problem start - only reboot menu

Hello. Please. I have a damaged Lenovo k920 at home. The system will not boot showing only the reboot menu. Nova Rom did not help via OTG cable. He doesn't have a PC. Neither does the Lenovo downloader. Do you think the phone is completely dead? I will only get into Lenovo recovery but reboot will not change anything. The update will not take place in the form of OTG - usb. For a quality screen and good performance, I want to use it as an offline screen on a drone. Can you please advise me? The only menu that loads when turned on is the test menu - board, sensor, etc. Format, update, reboot. But nothing starts the system.
