Nexus 4 stuck at loading screen
Hi there, I know people had this issue after the 4.4 OTA update last November but I have it now
I did drop it a short distance this morning onto a carpeted floor, it seemed to work fine till I turned wifi on, it would just turn off again, without displaying networks. I rebooted and ran into the endless loading screen issue.
After reading about people having these issues because of connecting components incorrectly after repairs, I wonder if its hardware related.
I reset cache(had those cache errors) and factory reset before I thought of this though
That didnt work, still loading endlessly. I read about recovery software(wugfresh?) to try and flash a stock image. My phone doesnt connect via usb though, I used to turn that on manually when I needed(hope that didnt turn out to be a huge mistake now).
So, is my device soft bricked? Im thinking of trying the wugfresh app to flash a stock image, seems to be my best option.
Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated, thanks
EDIT: Tried the fastboot method to flash. Seemed to be going well until I tried to unlock the bootloader.
I used 'fastboot oem unlock' and confirmed on my phone but when I ran the flash-all.bat, it failed to load the img and my phone went back to locked state. Unlocked it again and rebooted only to see its locked again. Seems like the unlock is not sticking.
