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

if you don't touch Firmware. you can go Recovery Mode and Factory Reset.
Shutdown.
Hold Power + Volume Up. when boot up keep hole Volume up and release Power.
you will enter Recovery Mode. Choose wipe data/factory reset.
if not work,try to reflash firmware.
Next time you removed the launcher you can push back the apk.

Push back
-Find/download .apk
-Enable usb debuging and Use adb push
Or copy .apk from ex-sdcard to /system/apps
I give u the "factory reset" choice coz it's easy way to fix. And i'm not sure cause is launcher missing. But this choice u will lose yr installed apps.

The Fact is you don't need to use the same touchwiz as original but you need any launcher with the same name.

I've already described how to get into recovery mode in the former post.
-shutdown
-hold power+up
-release power after reboot but keep hold up
- wipe data/reset factory default.
If can't , try to reflash the firmware.

Yes. if there are problems with modem(3g network), try to reflash "bell modem" again.

Nexus 7 stuck on GOOGLE booting screen

Hey so yesterday I mucked around with the mounting/unmounting/formatting stuff in fastboot. Now it's not booting up, it's stuck at the GOOGLE logo. I left it on overnight, and it's still stuck there. I can still turn off the device and enter fastboot mode. Anyone know what's wrong?
Thanks
How do you want to know what's happening to your device if don't tell us which commands you have done exactly with fastboot and why ?

Sorry
I went to the fastboot menu and unmounted everything, and formatted everything. Then I deleted all user data and the cache partition. I'm running xenon HD rom.
Thanks
You were running xenon rom before you formatted everything! Now if you want to stay with xenon you have to push the rom in your device using adb and install it with recovery.

I could care less about the rom. I just want to turn on the device...
It could be stock, I'll just root it again.
I'm kind of a beginner with this, how exactly do I push the rom
Anyways, thanks

I would say to get Wug's tool kit and use that to unbrick/flash back to stock. To get your computer to recognize the tablet you likely need to install the proper drivers, which are included with the toolkit and instructions on installing them.

The problem is, I don't have USB debugging on, so it's impossible to install the drivers.

Did you reflash the ROM and gapps after doing the wipes? Otherwise, try: factory reset, format system, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.

Hold power+volume buttons until the phone shuts down. Then, release the buttons, and immediately press them all again. You will be booted in bootloader. Select recovery, and restore your backup, if you did one, or flash another ROM.

[Q] My phone stuck on bootloader

ok so i wanted to try this new kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596496
and i installed it but my nexus 4 wouldnt boot so i went back into recovery and installed my other kernel which was working before. but now it wont boot. stuck on bootlogo forever. what do i do.
Do you have a nandroid you can restore?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
There must be a misunderstanding, so I better ask: Are you stuck on the bootlogo or in bootloader mode? You can turn on/off your device right?

yes sorry i meant on bootlogo. i can still go into recovery i think but whenever i reboot it never fully boots
Never mind.
Do you know Wug's Nexus Toolkit? Use this to flash a factory image. It is the easiest way if you arent familiar with adb and stuff.
Much better to learn how to flash a factory image with fastboot. You can probably save your data by flashing a cm compatible kernel in fastboot

I tried relocking the bootloader and messed up

[SOLVED]
Hello, so i followed the guide on here to go back to the stock rom from LOS(Lineage OS). I had done that right. Then i tried relocking the bootloader. I did that successfully. Now, i have 2 problems i have run into.
1) there is no recovery mode
i tried booting into recovery and all it does is flash the ZTE logo for a second than turn off. This keeps happening. I am not sure how to flash the recovery image since the bootloader is locked and i have no recovery mode.
2) when i boot my device, it asks for a password (a 3x3 grid).
I tried typing in the password i used for TWRP and it didn't work. I tried a bunch of old passwords but so far nothing has worked. I would like to know how to get the password and turn this off. I found this very annoying on LOS.
Please help me as i am not sure what to do!!
edit: i cannot seem to get the device to conect to the computer using adb or fastboot.
if you can can we excahnge phone numbers to fix this faster?
