Bootloop

[Medicstud007]

Help! Ran fastboot to root and am now stuck in a bootloop.
Not sure what to do
Phone is stuck where four colored dots jump over each other
Computer doesn't recognize any fastboot or adb devices

Hi @Medicstud007

Please reboot to the bootloader (Hold Power and Volume Down while powering on the phone)
Use the volume keys and choose recovery
At the No Command screen hold power and while holding power press and hold volume up for about 5 seconds, let go of volume up and power and it should take you to recovery.
At the top it will give you the Build number Example: NDE63X
Go https://developers.google.com/android/ota and download the OTA that matches your build number
Copy the zip file to the same folder ADB is in
Choose Update from ADB in recovery
Open command prompt on your pc
enter

 adb sideload name_of_ota.zip

Replace name_of_ota with the correct file name.
This will take a few minutes and will fix the bootloop. Data still intact.
Optional: re-root using the SR3 download in the OP of the SuperSU thread here.

how long have you waited ?
have you powered down during the process ?

the device should look like it boot looping and rebooting twice during the process, if your re-rooting after "ADB SIDELOAD OTA_FILE.zip" it will take awhile to finish the process and make the first boot.

failing this attempt to boot into recovery and perform a factory reset and start over if adb / fastboot allows

Just hold down power till it reboots that should do it easy as that

After waiting 15 minutes I got angry and pressed enter on the keyboard and the % started increasing 84% now
