[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
5 minutes? Takes at least 10 min to boot from flashing images on 5.0+. You likely are not looping, it just takes a very long time. You will see the screen dim at one point, and that signals like the last 25% or so of your wait, but if you do not see any errors, you are 99.99% likely just not waiting long enough.

Actually, my first flash of the 5.1.1 image files failed. Not sure if it was fastboot crashing on my laptop, or the fact my hyper kids were able to momentarily disconnect the USB while flashing, but I got an error sending system the first time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
Thanks, seems I have to go through this at least once a year ... not taking time to copy my CWM backup (adb pull /sdcard/ . ), etc. Not waiting for flash-all.bat to finish. Yada yada yada. I know that I'd set the N4 booting for more than 10 minutes (taking a shower and getting dressed, doing my 1-1/2 mile run -- 15 minutes -- etc).

Successfully installed and configured 4.4.4 again (good to clean out a system a bit. Will try again now that I've got a backup in hand, on a USB drive. Thanks for the feedback.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
Having made and stored a successful backup, have been trying the 5.1 and 5.1.1 factory image install scripts with and without the -w userdata switch ... in all cases, the phone stays in a boot animation loop for longer than 15 minutes.

Is this Google's passive aggressive way of telling us the N4 is no longer supported? I.e. issue a broken factory image and leave us to stew in our juices?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
I tried further tests last night and this morning with pure, straight factory image scripts, and the 5.1, 5.1.1 image just won't boot up on a Nexus 4. Pffft. I really wanted to see if the sensor problems were from an upgrade I did, or if it's a clear fault on a new vanilla install of stock 5.1.x. But it never worked. (I think I was running 5.0.1 until yesterday.)

This is infuriating.

Back to 4.4.4 because ... I need my phone, darn it!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joostburg:
I have the same problem. i tried everything, its now looping for a hour...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
Maybe you might give installing 4.4.4 stock a try, and then upgrading via the OTAs instead of the images? The 5.1.1 images are not broken as I was able to flash without issue, so I am not thinking it is a problem with the images themselves.

If you are sure you are waiting long enough, I do know the was an issue with the 4.4.4->5.0 flash from the images where you literally had to flash and if you just left it, the dots would spin endlessly. This was remedied by then rebooting to bootloader, wiping the cache partition from bootloader, and rebooting. It would then boot just fine. It was just the N4 I found this to be the case on. I am pretty sure Wug even made an allowance for it in the NRT code (2.0.3 I think). Are you using 2.0.5 NRT to flash the images? If not, you might give it a try.

Adding- Are you trying to go from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 directly? I can't recall if there were changes, but you might try flashing the 5.0 images from 4.4.4, and then going up to 5.1.1 just in case there is some issue with the version leap which is causing your issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joostburg:
Yes i tried have formated the partition and everything. I just go take a step backwards, i am currently installing 5.0.1, if thats not working i gonna flash 4.4.4. I wil give a update if i succeeded.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
Just to be clear, when in bootloop, try rebooting to bootloader (hold Volume- and power) to get the android laying down with his chest open, and then I think it is hold Vol+ and tap pwr that will get you to the menu you are looking for.

Go in and just wipe the cache partition and reboot. Do not reformat it or anything. Just wipe cache, reboot, and then give it 10-15 minutes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joostburg:
Still nothing works, damn tried now everything. How long should i see the 4 dots spinning approximately? 15, 30 or 60 minutes? Normally i just see it for about 5 minutes with a fresh installation.

edit: now its optimizing my apps, hope i am finally there now.

"The idea is simple. After you dirty flash the required images (boot, system and radio), install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and clear "cache" AND "dalvik-cache". Bootloop avoided.You might think it's enough to just clear the cache. It's not. Trust me, I've tested this extensively." http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/36r8s2/how_to_avoid_a_bootloop_when_flashing_the_511_or/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
I told you it takes an ungodly amount of time. I have more than a few times almost pulled the plug too early thinking it was taking too long.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joostburg:
Afters apps are optimized, i get a starting apps screen or something like that. After 8 hours its still showing that screen, pffff.

Edit: When i try to wipe data or internal storage i get:

e:Unable to mount /data

e:Unable to mount usb-otg
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
Let's be clear about how to wipe cache, you can't do it in the bootloader.

Power off

Hold Power and VOL DOWN => bootloader

VOL to select Recovery

Power to enter Recovery.

In stock Recovery "fallen Android" icon, hold POWER and VOL UP => Recovery menu

Now use vol and power buttons to select Wipe cache partition.

My final attempt after doing factory reset/wipe data in stock recovery, using the factory image flash-all.bat and NOT removing the -w switch (so /userdata/ is overwritten as well), the N4 didn't boot after waiting > 30 minutes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
INteresting about clearing cache and Dalvik cache during factory flash ... Dalvik cache should be irrelevant with ART being default in Lollipop....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joostburg:
I did exact the some for the fifth time and after an hour still 4 dancing dots. OMG gonna throw my phone trough a wall! BTW if i wipe the dalvik cache the phone will boot then get a infinite loop after optimizing apps with android is starting apps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
Same. Tried the instructions on that reddit article, posted this:

... I cleared the cache with stock recovery, no joy. Powered off, flashed CWM recovery, cleared cache and Dalvik-cache with CWM, then reflashed stock recovery, then rebooted, endless "starting apps."

Now that I know this, I'm flashing 5.0.1 with existing apps, will either wait a day for OTA, or try flashing the factory image again over 5.0.1 with the caches clearing. Maybe some app is causing the problem. I know I was able to flash 5.0.1 previously over 4.4.4....

I just don't get how the 5.1.1 image is working for some people. It seems that as Android progresses, there are more and more little undocumented tricks and gimmicks that we have to use to update a factory image without wiping data.... :(

And my kitchen In-Sink-Erator just bit the dust, so I've got that to deal with as well. (sigh)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joostburg:
I give up... Hope someone can post the solution. I gonna borrow a other phone, this is not gonna work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
Oh, I got caught up in several things ... 5.0.1 didn't work, though I previously installed it OVER 4.4.4. Pffft.

Frankly, I think 4.4.4 was a fine OS version running on the N4. ART, Material Design, etc....

5 has its enhancements, but I can't live without my sensors working properly.[1] They've got some bug fixin' to do....

[1] I didn't even know 5.1 or 5.1.1 was out, I was troubleshooting the sensors being gone in 5.0.1, searched online for similar reports, saw the new OTA announcements.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermissionToPanic:
So ChromeJob and joostburg, were you guys at least able to manually flash back to 4.4.4?

Also, ChromeJob, on my post, you commented:

May you please explain this a little?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joostburg:
No i tried but the 4 dots won't disappear. I am phone less for more than 48 hours now lol, and all the stores are closed till Tuesday, fml.

About the -w flag, when you download the stock roms from google you have a file flash-all.bat, when you edit this file with notepad you will see -w, that stand for wiping your device (remove all data), when you remove the -w (backspace, backspace) save the file and execute your data will NOT be removed.

By the way, when i try to clear my sd card in custom recovery i get: e:mount -o bind '/data/media/0' '/sdcard' proces ended with error=255, is this the cause?

hmmzz, i did a last try with 4.4.4, did first factory reset and then a cache wipe and it booted again, finally.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joostburg:
The exact steps i followed are with 4.4.4 and 5.1.1:

1: Flash your rom with fastboot

2: Then boot twrp

3: Wipe dalvik cache and cache

4: Boot in default recovery

5: Do a back to factory defaults

6: Wipe cache

It works for me all that wiping lol. First boot takes 5 - 15 minutes and i didn't get a optimizing apps screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
Joostburg gave a good explanation. Yes, I back-flashed to 4.4.4, still on 4.4.4 until I see something newer than 5.1.1. I expended two days off and on trying to get it to work. Maybe I'll flash Recovery to stock and let OTAs do the work for me.

Sounds like /sdcard wasn't mounted in Recovery and needed to be. /Data isn't always mounted, IIRC.

Solution Guide

Okay, i got the same issue and also replaced Chinese digitizer with 'buggy' proximity sensor. (Sensor would not fit into the spot properly, fixed by little piece of rubber between sensor and plastic cover) So it was hard to figure out what was the actual cause of LMY47V bootanimation loop. (Sometimes chinese digitizers and broken sensor would not let the phone to boot up). After almost 20 hours of experiments I found out that phone works only with original stock 4.2.2 JDQ39. But we need LMY47V, so after 2 more hours of experiments I finally found out a way to run latest Android Lollipop. After 2 hours of testing everything is smooth, no lags/crashes (Previously, after OTA update i would have random 'app has stopped' errors).

1) Reboot to bootloader, install latest TWRP

2) Manually wipe everything, format data

3) Install stock 4.2.2 JDQ39

4) Follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/development/rom-stock-flashable-rom-t3084656

5) Good Luck, Have Fun!
[Galaxy S 5 General] nsusa:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but my search did not find it and I definitely tried.

I do have a rooted S5 (VZW) and installed a lollipop ROM from the Verizon Development area. Is there a guide on how to install the unified ROMs or does it work the same way? I saw in one of the unified builds that TWRP is required, but I thought only SafeStrap is an option.

Can anyone guide me to an existing thread or shed some light on this for me, please? Thank you.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] c1287:
whether it's with the usb cable or the desktop cradle the sync between the phone and the desktop doesn't last for very long, it can vaey from 1min to 5min and is a real pain when it drops out whilst downloading a program.

Sometimes the display on the phone says it's syncing but if I look on the pc there is no sign of it in either windows explorer or the snyc centre (using vista), is this a vista problem or hardware/software problem with the phone.

thanks in advance
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jonnip:
i used to have this problem... assuming you have already tried disabling the firewall and AV to see if it cures the problem (disconnect from the net first!)...

Firstly are you using WM6 or WM5?

if you are using WM6 then go to settings->Connections->USB to PC and untick enable advanced network functionality

if you are using WM5 then download the file (supplied by dopod) that makes the usb work using the serial protocol. the instructions are in the ZIP file, extract the cab file, copy it to your PDA (you may have to use a SD card reader if you cannot connect for long enough to send it or if not that use a SD slot on a Digital camera?) then find the file on your Prophet and install the rest is in the readme file.

ah shoot just read your running vista so probably not that! nevermind its something to try!

This afternoon I noticed the volume changing when I connected my headset, the notification volume go's up and down and I can't change it with.

The sound volume also changes (up or down) without reason.

Besides that I often can't use the lock/unlock butten (main button) and when touching the jack the audio often stops playing.

This all happened suddenly but before that I noticed Sony Smart Connect asking me for some kind of setup (Ignored this before) so I unistalled (Titanium) it with no avail...

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] br3nt3h:
I was searching relentlessly for a way to make this xmodgames app work on my tmobile galaxy s6 edge, but i couldnt find anything untill i came across this!.

This was originally intended to fix a problem with the galaxy s4. But works flawlessly with the galaxy s6 edge as well.

----Make sure your Device is Rooted!---

I used the most recent PingPongRoot method. From this thread.

This method listed below should work for any version of lolipop but ive only tested this method on a galaxy s6 edge with 5.0.2

Hope this helps all the people in need of their xmodgames again.

Samsung Enforcing Devices for 5.0.2 Lollipop

Install xmodgames and launch once.

1. Clear Data of XmodGames→{settings/applications_manger/xmod}

2.Download (Lucky Patcher)

~ Download, install,...use it to CONVERT xmod to SYSTEM (click tools then "Move to system/app")

3. Reboot device, Launch XMOD, grant root, install mods, but DO NOT launch any of the games.

4. Go to settings/application_manger/all/xmod ~ Clear Data then reboot your device

5. Launch XMod and try if it works now.

Enjoy ?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidcol:
Hi, I'm kind of desperate here and hope you guys can help me: since about 2 weeks my phone is ramdomly turning off and then it just doesn't want to turn on, does it when it wants or shows the initial Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and turns off again, I mean it just goes dark suddenly, not showing the Samsung boot animation nor anything, it just goes black. Initially it was only when I turned on the mobile data so I flashed another modem but now it is at any moment, Wi-Fi, mobile data... Even in safe mode. At first I thought it was the ROM beacuse I was in Lollipop BTU but I've changed it about a million times with full wipes/factory resets each time and the problem stays. I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem but I can't tell and I have no clue. Thank you for your help guys. I'm currently on Lollipop stock 5.0.1 I9505XXUHOE1-I9505OXXHOD2. I've cleaned cache, dalvik cache, done wipe/factory reset and nothing. Thank you guys, I'm lost here. Sometimes it just doesn't happen and it stays working fine but somtimes it doesn't. It is not related with any app that I've noticed.

If someone with more experience can help be I would deeply appreciate it, really, thanks in advance, I'm kind of about to throw it against the wall, thanks a million.

This sounds like an app problem. Go to the app's page on Play store and send an email to the developer. If every one of you did it, then they'll know it's an issue present on different devices, so (if they care) they'll look into the issue.
[Android General] hovanhuang:
After couple emails debugging process with the lightflow developer, here is something we found out.

For those cannot make Gmail Exchange account notification light working in Lightflow:

If you are able to see your gmail exchange account from lightflow notification section, that means lightflow recognize your exchange account.

In the process of setting up your gmail exchange account, the last step gives you option to change the account name. You will have to keep your full email address as the exchange account name.

Only in this way, Lightflow can match your notification ID of an gmail exchange account with what's set in lightflow.

hopefully this information would help.
