Won't boot (encrypted phone) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I am on Pure Nexus with Hells kernel and my phone is encrypted. There was any issue before. Yesterdays I turn off the phone to charge quicker and 1 hour after it won't boot. The phone stay on "Loading apps". I tried to wipe the cache and TWRP should ask me my password as my phone is encrypted but I can access without password and see all data on my sdcard !
I tried to wipe data+system, flashed Pure Nexus but on the boot the phone stuck on " Loading apps" again. I am using the phone of my friend to ask you. I don't have a PC because I am in Berlin for one week. Do you have any idea what can I do to solve the issue without PC ? If there are some Berliners to help me it would be great
Thanks you guys.

Stuck on encryption lock screen, won't boot PLEASE HELP

Hey everyone,
So my phone died and then I got it charged and turned on and it booted up to the encryption lock screen where it says to start up your device, enter your pin. So I enter my pin and then its says, "verified" and then "starting android". and then a padlock appears on the screen, it opens, and there's like a load up circle going around it. At first, I let the phone sit to see if it would do anything but after an hour, I figured something is wrong. I dont know why this happened, I think I might have accidentally turned on the secondary encryption, but this really sucks, I don't want to have to factory reset and lose all my pictures and data. I can boot into recovery mode but sometimes when i turn it on it shows a screen that says installing update and has like a google ring looking thing that should be spinning around but it looks like its glitching out, after that screen it will go to a no command screen, and then it will eventually reach recovery mode. I really hope someone can help or knows what is going on because, I really dont want to lose all my stuff.
Thanks for your time
I tried posting link but im new, if you look up s7 edge frozen encryption, its the first link , another person describes the same issue.
I had this issue. In recovery, tell it to clear the delvic cache. Then try a reboot.
It too a few attempts before the phone would not boot directly into recovery. But once i got it to do a normal boot, it started normally.
Then after it's running, back it all up, boot into recovery, and do a system restore.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I restarted my phone, it asks for my pin which I enter correctly. It then gets stuck on spinning padlock. I've tried a soft reset (I think that's what it's called, holding down power and volume keys). It restarts, I enter pin, it says starting android then gets stuck again. I'm not very tech minded (typical girl). Can anyone help. I'd rather not lose all my photos and apps. Thank you so so much in advance. Toni x
I am facing the same issue, but with a Samsung Galaxy S8.
- Safe mode: doesn't boot
- Recovery mode: works, clear cache doesn't solve the problem.
So since nothing worked to make it work (except the Factory Reset, but I didn't tried this option), I decided to wait in the padlock screen. After 3 hours the phone started.
I guess that the phone is decrypting some big file during startup. Indeed, some days before before this problem happens, I downloaded some big files via torrent (~2-4 GB video files).
I'll delete these files and make some tests to understand the source of this problem.
Have same issue after recent update, tried clearing cache and safe mode but didn't help, been on padlock for about 10 hours now, any solutions/experiences?
ps: on stock rom with stock recovery, no root or anything of that sort at all.
Have exactly the same issue..Please help

My phone is in a boot loop. how to recover data prior any wipe?

well, a glass of water dropped on SM-N910F. suddenly it said battery was very low and shut down. i've immediately removed the battery and let it dry without any cover for 24hrs. then, as it wasn't powering up, i've pressed powerbutton for 1 minute, then tried to powerup and... SAMSUNG logo appeared... but now the phone is in a boot loop.
the device is not rooted, but knox is voided. it had all stock-things, like stock-rom, stock-recovery etc. (knox voided when, some week ago i rooted the phone with TWRP, but then resetted all).
if i try to boot in recovery, the "no command" appear, then i'm in a menu where i can wipe/reset the device.
I cannot flash any recovery as the phone have R/L ON (and i don't know how to deactivate it without booting android)
now the first problem is to recover all media data of the phone _(picutres and videos). then i would like to try to reflash the stock ROM or do any reset/wipe.
could you help me?
my fear is that flashing again the stock rom before recovering data, could wipe my media files... i've also fear memory is not working fine so if flashing goes bad i would have lost the phone and all the data.
thanks in advance.

If you have twrp installed you can download "Aroma file manager" and flash from twrp then you can transfer all the data from internal to microsd card same ar "my files".
After once you finish recover data you can try whatever rom or firmware you want.

Thanks much Trex,
well at moment twrp is not installed anymore... it was removed in the last full reset of some week ago.
this morning i tried to reload TWRP with adb-sideload available with the STOCK recovery (that appear after the NO COMMAND screen ) but it fails with error "signature verification failed".
do you have any idea on how to flash TWRP or custom recovery on the phone with ADB sideload on the stock recovery?
i just need to enter some recovery to load some data, then i can wipe/format it all.
thanks much
EDIT1. this morning i've also tried to reflash the stock rom with ODIN as i read that multimedia files shouldn't be deleted, but the boot loop is still there...
i've also tested the charger circuit is gone as it don't charge battery... the battery icon while charging disappear after some second and after a night the status was ever 1%
There is a chance that you can recover your deleted data if you haven't over written the sectors on the internal memory of your device.

Sounds like a hardware issue (BLOD) but you won't know until you wipe the device PROPERLY and flash a stock ROM. One way to do this is to install a full Google image using flash-all.bat. Your situation is precisely why Google posts full images with instructions on the same page on how to restore your device to it's "out of the box" state. If after flashing stock your phone is still bootlooping and/or you cannot access Recovery mode (ADB), then you're done. Either RMA the phone if eligible, or find a replacement.

Need help! Unlocking bootloader without using the app

Good day! I wanted to ask how to remove the bootloader for zenfone max (the old one 2015 model) without using the app from ASUS as I cannot really use my phone. It boots then restarts. I already tried Wiping/Factory Data reset and Wipe cache with the Power and Volume down (Is it Recovery mode?) but still bootloops, by the way when I factory reset, my phone showed "Unknown volume for path /factory". My friend told me it could be that my OS was corrupted. So here I am wanting to unlock the bootloader so I could install OS for my phone.
**Note1: Sometimes it would boot to the "Welcome!" screen, then when I reach to the Wifi selection, it would always restart.
***Note2: This bootlooping happened when I restarted my phone because my wifi suddenly couldn't connect. After I restarted, it looped.
Noob here btw. Sorry and I would be glad to provide additional information if needed be.
