I borrowed my Nexus4 to my sis for a couple of days. When I set it up for her (after Factory resetting it from the Settings Menu) everything was working fine. Now that she gave me the phone back it was stuck in the boot screen. I also realized that she forgot to give me the SIM Card Holder back which is now in her wallet. She told me that the guys at the mobile phone operator removed her SIM Card without turning the phone off.
I tried flashing Stock Android Firmware a couple of times. I tried it with 4.3.0 and 4.4.0. It always got stuck in the Boot Animation. The only Firmware that boots up to Android is 4.2.0. Even when i do a regular OTA update to 4.3.0 it gets stuck in the Boot Animation.
Is it possible that the Nexus4 is not booting up without a inserted SIM card. I know this sounds stupid, but it is the only explaination i have.
Did someone else experience the same issues?
Update1
I found out, that it's also booting up from 4.2.1. then i got a regular 4.2.2 OTA update which worked too. now was stuck with "Starting apps" after upgrading to 4.3 via ODA Update. Restarting the phone got me stuck in the Boot Animation again. I think I'm gonna wait until i can test it with a Sim Card.
The Sim card has nothing to do with whether the phone boots up or not. You need to wipe the phone clean and flash the factory images. Report back after.

Hey, I met the same problem, have you solved it? could you tell me how to solve that? that drive me crazy.
I have read some posts that anything newer than 4.2.2 won't boot if the imei is not being displayed properly by dialing *#06#.
Same issue

See if your IMEI and your baseband is getting displayed. Otherwise you might have to flash the baseband of your android version.
i have the same problem, i just dont know what to do, i tried the cyanogenmod, 4.4.0 , 4.4.2 , 4.4.4 and i just tried 5.0 and nothing works, just 4.2 , and i have no problems with the baseband :crying:
__bump
any solution? I have the same problem
Y not root it and use a custom rom...Chroma 6.0 Marshmallow rom is one of the best out there...any specific reasons for sticking with stock rom??

When I had this a flash a new modem radio and I was fine...
I had a similar issue as you. Could not get past 4.2 version. Although I could get up to 4.3 by flashing an older modem radio after flashing the stock 4.3 image.
My issue was a broken proximity sensor. Any other version past 4.2 would not get past boot animation because the proximity sensor was not working (properly). I did a RMA and they changed the proximity sensor. After that, I could update all the way to 4.4 without issue. Still working today!
It's just a suggestion, but could you check if your proximity sensor is working on the 4.2 build? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ctsr.android.SensorTest&hl=en can help.
Or you could let someone call you and see if the screens turns off when you put the phone up to your ear and lights up again when you put it away from your ear.
I recently had some issues with my GPS so I used Odin to go back to stock firmware, everything was still ok after this and my GPS was back to working order. Then I used CF auto root to root my device again/use TWRP recovery. Then I flashed the latest PAC nightly and gapps with seemingly no problems. The phone worked fine for 2-3 days until one day when it was in my pocket I got a warning saying something along the likes of "SIM card has been removed. Reboot required." Rebooting would make the sim come back online momentarily until it would randomly come back up. There didn't seem to be any correlation with any new apps I had installed or things I did on my phone to cause this error. I thought perhaps it was the ROM so I tried reflashing (complete with factory wipe) and the problem still happened. I also tried wiping factory->system->cache&dalvik before reflashing..again it worked but only briefly. I tried going back to stock but it still happens. Right now I'm running task650s aokp and it still comes up..the sim works in other phones no problem. Any ideas on what might be going on/how to fix this issue?

The last days my phone has been having trouble detecting my sim card. The things I've tried to do to solve the problem is to take out the sim card, factory reseting, reseting to the latest upgrade through LG's PC suite.
The thing that works is factory reseting and this works a while but then my phone stops detecting my sim after a while and I have to do it all over again. First I thought it was rooting or xposed modules that was the cause, but then I made a backup with LG's tool and after rebooting the problem occured again.
Anyone had the same issue?
ok my phone is ef'ed up . i installed optimusg3 rom and i was getting force closes on a few things so i wiped and installed it again and the previous force closes were solved but new ones started happening. So i wiped again and reinstalled again but now my phone says that theres no sim card. i took the sim card out and tried it in my wifes phone and it works fine. I rebooted my g2 d800 with the card back in and it still says no sim card. i flashed back to stock with lgflash tools and it still says no sim card found?
Hello. I will go through what I have done thus far to fix this and describe the problem as best I can.
Upon booting up a fresh version of Turbo ROM, after being on TruPure for quite a long time, I booted up to find the SIM card and SD card no longer functional. The menu for cellular networks is greyed out and the sd card is not recognized in the phone booted up, or in recovery. Windows does recognize the SD card and functions as normal.
What I have tried:
Obvious things like reseating, removing, reinstalling. Reinstalling when in recovery, when booted up, everything you can think of.
I downloaded and flashed new modems through using internal storage.
I updated TWRP in case something was going on in recovery.
WIFI still works in terms of getting data
The only thing I haven't tried is backing up the contents of the SD card and reformatting due to being at work. But given this is both the SIM card and SD card, I do not believe this will solve the problem.
Has anyone had this issue or has any advice? I am obviously rooted and unlocked and sending this in for repair probably isn't a great option.
Thank you
Edit: Just wanted to add that this SIM issue first popped up after flashing the Pure Nexus ROM, then Turbo, then back to TruPure. All the same result. But it was fine before I flashed Pure Nexus.
try flash NON-HLOS.bin, hope this will help
So I ended up using the back-to-stock tool and went the nuclear option. This allowed the SIM card and SD card to be recognized. If anyone else seems to have this issue, using that method will get you back up and running at least.
