Hi, I am COMPLETELY new at rooting, so please bear with me. I just rooted my nexus 4 a week back and got paranoid. Today, I installed a mod to change the recent apps format to android l. However, when i installed it using CWM, it successfully installed, but then got stuck in a bootloop. The phone wont connect to my computer by USB at all (USB debugging is on), so i cant delete the file that caused it from my computer. In CWM, i wiped all data/factory restored it, wiped all the cache (normal and dalvik), and it still wont boot up. Can someone please help- i need the easiest way possible, since im completely new, as I said. Not restoring to stock os would be preferable. Thanks.

I was using CM11 on my Galaxy S Advance for a few months, today I restarted my phone and it was showing the CM11 Boot Animation normally, then it showed up the lockscreen and then turned off instantly showing the CM11 Boot Animation again. I did a factory reset with my CWM, everything got fine, then I restarted my phone again and it was in that kind of bootloop again. Can someone help me? (I can't reinstall CM11 because when I plug my USB cable in my phone, Windows doesn't detect it, and I can't put CM11 ZIPs in my phone)
Hi,
You don't have a nandroid backup from CWM you can restore? Having a good backup kept on the phone is always essential in this hobby. No cm rom zip either that you can install from on the phone? Without either, you may need to Odin flash stock to your device. But for other advice, or help with any of my suggestions, you can ask here...

I have installed miui rom on my nexus 5 and yesterday i tried updating franco kernel on hopes that it will give longer battery life. But unfortunately i guess the kernel isnt compatible with the rom and miui will just hang in the logo screen wont load at all.
I tried getting into recovery and cleaning up everything but still no luck.
adb/fastboot doesnt detect my device at all. Can someone through some light on how to recover my phone now.
Also I got clockwork recovery installed. is there a way for me to directly gets files from internet or push to the devices ?
Hi,
You can always just flash miui again and that will restore it's kernel. Then you will be back up and running. If miui zip is still on your device.
Otherwise, you can try restoring stock... But you need to sort out your driver issues to use fastboot. Try reinstalling the n5 drivers, try another cable... Even try another computer. Here's a guide on returning to stock,

Hi,
First post here. I have a Nexus 4. I've been trying many things to get my phone going (flashing stock images 5.1.1 and 4.4.4, flashing Cynanogenmod 10.2.1-mako and cm.12.1-20150718-NIGHTLY-mako). Only the nighly cynangenmod had gotten me past the boot animation but the phone would be stuck on 'starting apps' (although sometimes the phone won't get past the boot animation too). I think it has to do with a memory leak because I had similar symptoms and the phone got stuck in a bootloop after I had rebooted when the phone was slow (was running stock 5.1.1 at the time).
The most recent thing I've been trying is this but I haven't been able to get my computer to detect my android so I can delete bootanimation with file explorer. ADB actions work when I'm in recovery mode though.

Any help please?
Edit: I cannot enable USB debugging because the phone is in a bootloop. I've used skipsoft toolkit to install usb drivers but without enabling USB debugging, device mode cannot be detected.
