Hey, I had CM10.2 which for some reason caused me a lot of troubles with battery and wifi so I Decided to revert to stock 4.4. I downloaded the stock from google and I installed it with the fastboot through the command prompt. But for some reason, the phone just won't turn on, it goes into the KitKat boot animation and just gets stuck there forever. What should I do?
I already tried wiping cache and it didnt really help...
Thanks!
Try a factory reset from the stock recovery.
All of the images flashed successfully without any problems?

All of the images were flashed successfully, but if I do a factory reset, what will it exactly do? won't it erase litterally anything I Have and then I will stay out of options? I have never done a factory reset so I dont really know. If I have a CM 10.2 flashable ZIP on my storage, will it stay there after the Factory reset? Because every time I have a problem with a certain rom I just flash back to the CM 10.2

It will wipe all user data including the internal storage. Basically the phone will be exactly how it was from the factory. So yes, the cm10.2 that you have will be gone after the factory reset.
But I'm pretty confident that doing a factory reset will get the phone to boot.

A factory reset does indeed wipe everything on your phone. You're learning the hard way why it is a good idea to periodically back up your phone.
The best thing about doing a factory image reset is that you start from a know good point. If the ROM you want to use is based on 4.4, then use the 4.4 factory image. Likewise if the ROM is based on 4.4.2 then use that factory image.

Maybe you've got the same issue that I just described here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595057
edit : apparently nothing to do with the radio afterall
Guys Thanks you so much I did a factory reset and my phone is now working all good with 4.4.2
Just a question, Is my phone still rooted after a factory reset?

No. It was no longer rooted after flashing the stock images.
But getting root back isn't that hard. Just install a custom recovery and flash the latest supersu.

HI all,
My nexus 4 just won't boot no matter how i flash any 4.3 version on it.
Tried google's factory image's bat file, efrant's guide, fota, ota file and some custom roms.
Tried each with wiping cache followed by factory settings.
I'm really lost, how could it be?
At which point does it stop?
bootloop, x screen.
You tried using the factory images from google's website? I had to wipe mine recently and flash the bootloader, reset fastboot, flash radio, reset bootloader, and then flash zip with the Boot/System/UserData/Etc in it and then once it was complete booted up fine. Might want to give it another shot, but don't forget to reboot the bootloader between flashes. It does help.

I got stuck on this. I was really worried that I'd have to leave my brand new N4.
I ended up flashing Google's stock 4.2.2 images for everything, relocking bootloader then unlocking it. Then at that point, when you are in fastboot make sure you click start. It'll then show the android with a progress bar, just wait from there and it'll boot. I'm sure Google will fix these issues with 4.3.1
Hey,
Today in between flashing a new ROM i went back to 4.2.2 cm10.1.2, just to check some things out before flashing a 4.3 ROM that i was intending to do in the first place.
However after having reverted to 4.2.2 when i went and install the 4.3 ROM i noticed i had no signal, since then i've tried flashing the radio and boot from 4.3 Factory Image via fastboot, tried installing a different 4.3 ROM, all with no success.
What can I do?
Btw i still get signal in 4.2.2
Thanks.

Check APN settings?
How do I do that?
Also the phone app just crashes totally when I try to do anything with it, even entering airplane mode triggers that.

You should do a clean wipe before you flash 4.3 from an older version, do a factory reset and wipe the system partition, then flash 4.3 rom.
via xda app
It might have to do with TWRP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45323439
Try flashing TWRP 2.6.0.0 then proceed from there to flash your rom.
I guess i forgot to mention, i did a clean install, i factory reset before reverting.
And i have TWRP installed, I've tried several ROMs and in all of 4.3 ROMs i dont have signal and the Phone app FCs when i try to use it.
On that note, does TWRP Factory Reset wipes System Partition?
Factory reset does wipe system partition except /data/media.
Flash TWRP 2.6.0.0 (this version)
Factory reset
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
Flash Modem
Flash Kernel
Flash Supersu
Wipe caches
Reboot
Btw, here is some insight on what to wipe in TWRP:

Oh I just saw your previous post, didn't understand it at first but now that I think about it I do actually have 2.6.1.0.
Ill try what you said and report back.
Thanks.

Doing a factory reset leaves my phone rooted and bootloader unlocked correct?
If i where to factory reset my nexus 4 which has CM 11 installed, would i be back on stock rom? Can I then flash the factory image for lollipop?

If you have CM11 installed you'll still have it once reset as it's the ROM that's in permanent memory

How do I remove CM11 ? I've been having problems with calls not going through and I think it has something to do with it.
If you flash another rom it will cover anyway the CM11.
So you can flash the stock or any other rom you want.
So i was trying to downgrade to kitkat again using odin, it passed the process and the phone rebooted. stuck at samsung logo. *F*
I tried to wipe the cache but it didn't work. tried Kies 3, but it says i've the latest version so i can't *downgrade* if that makes sense..
Did you do full factory reset from recovery

I need some help, I really don't know what to do anymore..
I've installed the optimized cyanogenmod 13 and now my sensors don't work. It works randomly for about 10-20 minutes then stops. The only sensor that works without any problem is the light one..
I don't know what can I do. Can this be from hardware, even working sometimes?
All the sensors are recognized by phone, they just don't work.
I've already jumped into a lot of ROMs and nothing. I've already done a full wipe (system, data, caches, internal) and installed official stock ROM and nothing.
Now I'm on lollipop 9.0 and I can't get this to work even for 10 minutes, but I know that on other rom it will work for about 10 minutes.
What can I do?
Did you install the latest official stock or just any stock rom with Odin?

I don't know if has anything to do, but if you have a s4 with root, can you please verify if in your folder "persist" have anything? It stays right in the root.
Thanks!
Weird that stock didn't fix the issue. You also performed a factory wipe from stock recovery before booting the newly-flashed ROM for the first time?
Sorry, I don't have an s4 with me at the moment. I can check later today.

Do you mean the recovery that comes with stock rom? I never used him. My wipes I always do from TWRP
I really don't know what else I can do. I don't want to change de motherboard :/.. I still think that is from software
You should try wiping with stock recovery.

Install the stock rom again, then turn off phone, power+volume up+home and do a wipe data/cache factory reset? Is this different from the TWRP wipe?
Maybe I can do this wipe via settings on the system?
On lollirom 9.0 I can't get them working even for 10 minutes
Sometimes, a wipe using stock recovery works better than a wipe using a custom recovery.
Flash with Odin and use stock recovery to wipe before booting the stock ROM for the first time.

Ok.. I'll try to do this and I post the result here. This not working, there's anything else I can do?
Not sure what else to try as flashing stock and wiping with stock recovery usually fixes software glitches.

Yes, perfectly. Never had this issues before optimized cyanogenmod 13 :/. That's why I think its from software, but I have no idea what to do anymore..
I am at a loss too. The phone shows the correct imei, baseband, and bootloader?

Yes. The phone is 100% ok, just the sensors not working.. Now even for 10 minutes is working :/, just the light sensor
Anything else I can do? :/
Dont know if a logcat can help, but..
I just started the phone and searched for "gyro"
As you can see, gyro_sensor was not found.. Maybe we got something here?????
--edit--------
Searching now I found that this is something about .idc files, right in /system/usr/idc. I just don't know what file.. @audit13
How about flashing a custom rom that is based on the original stock rom?
