[Q] KitKat Update Stuck - General Questions and Answers

My wife and I both have Nexus 5s and got access to the KitKat update today. Mine worked fine, hers got stuck at "Updating Apps" for about 4 hours before we turned it off. Now when it boots up it gets stuck at the circles animation and it just keeps going, but never boots up. I've tried booting into recovery mode and I see a "No command" screen.
It feels like I need to download KitKat on my PC and install it via USB or something. What do you guys recommend??

Boot verification certify - LG G2 D800

I have the AT&T variant (D800), and got a popup that a software update from AT&T was available, so I tried to install it. The phone was rooted, and I think I had the stock recovery. I tried to flash CWM using ROM Manager from the Play Store, but everytime I tried to boot into recovery I got the "Error: boot certification error" on the LG logo screen.
So I tried to get the software update, which turned the phone off. It didn't boot up for like half an hour, so I tried to turn it on. I got the "Boot certification error," and then the phone went to the black screen. If I shut down by holding the power button and then turn it on again, same thing happens. Before, doing this would have booted the phone into the OS. Now it just repeats the error. What can I do? I'm getting it warrantied tomorrow, but if it's possible I'd like to avoid it.

Kyocera Brigadier not booting.

Hey guys, I've got a Kyocera Brigadier and I decided to change the runtime from Dalvik to ART. Now the phone is stuck on loadscreen and I don't know how to fix it. The phone is rooted using the KingRoot app, but I don't know if that would help in any way.
Please help me guys!
Similar Issue
I am have a very similar issue, I also rooted my Brigadier with Kingroot and all went well. However, I attempted to flash the Xposed Framework onto it using Flashify. After doing such it got stuck in a bootloop, I was able to fix that problem by booting into fastboot mode and using fastboot to push stock firmware back onto my device. However now I have an even bigger problem where my phone boots up to the Powered by Android screen and then to the Kyocera screen, however instead of continuing to boot to the Verizon Wireless screen and then into the phone, it gets stuck at a black screen. I have tried waiting for hours and nothing at all happens, also I can no longer seem to boot into fastboot mode or in other words the Powered by Android screen with the little 1 in the top left corner of the screen. Fastboot nor ADB recognizes the device when plugged into my computer, as neither list anything when ran. Please help, I don't want to have to pay and end up sending my phone into Verizon to be unbricked.

I have the same problem. I bought a new a Brigadier that was on 4.4.2. I rooted with Kingroot ran update and now my phone will not boot past Kyocera screen. It goes black with the back light on. Did factory wipe and still nothing. I am shocked that KK has killed yet another phone of mine. I very much dislike KK ROM. What did you find out?

Nexus 5x google bootloop, recovery won't get past Google screen either (strange)

I was in snapchat when all of a sudden my nexus 5x totally froze and rebooted (which is normal considering how much snapchat sucks.)
I saw the warning about my bootloader being unlocked which was normal and it went to the Google screen, where it sat for about 5 minutes. Normally in every previous bootloop I've had in the past, the boot animation just loops forever and ever. I force shut it off and tried booting it up again and this time on the Google screen the phone totally shut off and restarted showing me the warning about my bootloader. I tried the recovery, but got the same results. So, I went home and plugged it in thinking maybe that would help but it still was shutting off and rebooting. It never got to the boot animation. I had all the adb and fastboot drivers so I just decided to flash the factory image. It flashed fine, and sadly the problem was still there. I'm so stuck, I can't get into the recovery to do anything and there's only so much that you can do over fastboot. I've found that if I press the power button every couple seconds while the Google screen is still showing and it doesn't reboot but the Google logo won't leave for the boot animation.
Seriously guys, please just give me any of your ideas.

S7 Edge Bricked totally... SM-G935F

Hello all. Since nougat update my phone has started having boot up issues. I had software update a month ago and after it was updated it failed to boot up. It just froze on Samsung logo screen and i had to wait for the battery to drain to start it again. So that time it started after a good few tries. Now last night it had another software update and again after it was finished it rebooted and failed to boot up. Gets stuck on logo screen/ samsung screen. I tried booting in safe mode.. nothing ... gets stuck again on black screen and have to wait for battery to drain. When it gets stuck i can't do anything not even reboot with any of the buttons. I've tried going into recovery mode but once it boots in recovery it shows Installing System Update or something simmilar and in 1 second gets stuck untill battery is drained again. So basically i can't do anything on it. It won't boot up in normal/safe mode or recovery mode... Any suggestions ? I've tried samsung switch on my PC but it needs the phone into recovery mode and i can't get this far. What else is there to do ?

SM-920P stuck on 'Galaxy Note 5' splash screen after disconnecting from GearVR. HELP!

Hi all,
I've found myself in a bit of a pickle for the last four days. I was using my GearVR headset, when it froze. I could hear the audio, so I assumed it just needed to be redocked on the headset. So, I took it out, and was immediately met with a black screen. After a few seconds, it came to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Powered by android" screen. I figured it was just rebooting, so I let it be. 2 hours later, I come back to it at the same screen. So, I forced it off (Vol Down, Power) and let it reboot again, getting stuck on the same splash screen. The phone will NOT boot to recovery, but WILL boot to download mode.
Fast forward 3 days and I have reflashed it FOUR times now with the latest STOCK firmware (7.0 Nougat) and it still refuses to boot past this screen. I have tried to flash a custom recovery, but was c*** blocked by the FRP lock on my device. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!
