Hello,

After updating my Nexus 4 the phone won't boot beyond the Google logo.

I tried to hardreset the phone but when I select "Recovery mode" the phone show me the Google logo and just gets stuck there.

Any ideas?

Reflash everything with fastboot or just enter the stock recovery and factory reset. You can get there by choosing recovery at the bootloader and then by pressing vol up + power when you see the green logo with the exclamation mark.

When I'm executing "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10l.img"

I give me this error:

Finally I unlocked the bootloader but now i got a error on this command.

"fastboot -w update image-occam-jop40c.zip" the error that I get is this one...

c:\Fastboot\4.2UnrootNexus4>fastboot -w update image-occam-jop40c.zip
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

The.sig errors are ok. The failed to allocate error is not. Try to flash just the system.img. fastboot flash system system.img.

Flashing went well but when it boots its stuck a the Google logo.

When I try to get it in Recovery mode I only get Download mode.

Try to flash a custom recovery then and see if it works. If it does try flashing the zip from recovery. On my HTC sometimes flashing from fastboot would result in a bootloop while from recovery it worked perfectly fine.
