Nexus 4 hangs at colored circles loading screen

[AC Question]

Hi. So I charged my Nexus 4 yesterday as usual, except when I tried to turn it back on, it stuck at the initial loading screen until it emptied its battery. Just those 4 colored circles spinning forever. I recharged it, wiped all data and flashed it with the latest 4.4.4 from Google. It seemed to go fine, restarted and hangs at the exact same place. Anyone have any idea what's happening?

Just for kicks since you said you wiped and flashed it with the latest 4.4.4 from Google, have you considered trying to flash it to 4.4.3 and see what the results are?

Hi Paul, thanks for replying. I haven't tried that, but I will if I can't think of anything else. It's just strange for the phone to break so suddenly. I've never flashed any custom ROMs or anything like that. Was running 4.4.4 since it came out... One hour it worked, the next it didn't.

Yeah that is indeed weird. If you don't come up with any other solutions I would give it a shot. Who knows..

Is it still under warranty? I would call Google and see if they will take it back.
