It happened when Google Play was automatically updating apps. I guess, something went wrong and the phone suddenly restarted and was not able to turn on again. It always gets stuck on "Starting apps" screen and then restarts again (bootloop). I figured out, that if I can delete the app causing bootloop it should be just fine. However, I don't know how I could do it.
My phone is nexus 4 running Android Marshmallow. Also, I have a custom recovery (cwm 6.0.4.7). So, I tried to connect through adb to the phone in recovery mode and delete the app, however, I can't use any adb command, because "device unauthorized". I assume, as soon as I can get access through adb, I can delete the app.
After surfing many forums for the past several hours I couldn't able to find any solution which preserves data the phone has. Any ideas how I can delete/fix the app without loosing any data? (nexus 4 doesn't have SD card slot). Thanks. P.S. wipe cache partition didn't help.
