First of all, apply proper permissions, enable apache rewrite_module and refresh apache server.

chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/MAGENTO_2_ROOT_DIRECTORY/

sudo a2enmod rewrite

sudo service apache2 restart

For messy frontend, run following command from Magento root:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Now clear var directory except .htaccess file and check admin. If you get 404 page, there may be an issue of Symlink. Fot this, Edit apache config file

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

and replace this code :

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Require all granted

with

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted

Note: changed AllowOverride none to AllowOverride All

Now restart apache sudo service apache2 restart and check admin. This should fix admin 404 issue.

Also make sure, you don't leave /app/etc/ directory writeable

Try these steps:

Check if you are accessing the correct admin url (see admin...frontName node in app/etc/local.xml file)
Try to run the sql below:

Magento 2 – Frontend Layout Not Working After Upgrade to 2.1

I suggest you to turn on theme to developer mode if your are not on production mode.

Either by,

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

Or, Goto app/etc/env.php

change 'MAGE_MODE' => 'default'' to MAGE_MODE' => 'developer',

After all, follow these steps:

Run Command Prompt
Navigate to magento 2 installation directory.
Run

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Navigate to var directory.
Run

rm -rf var/cache/*

rm -rf var/composer_home/*

rm -rf var/generation/*

rm -rf var/page_cache/*

rm -rf var/view_preprocessed/*

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

Now, it must work fine !!
