[Q] Nexus 4 occam-lmy47v factory image in boot animation loop

[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.

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?

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.

... 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?

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
