Ok, after flashing matrix kernel thru CWM. My n4 suddenly turned off and won't turn on again. I plugged it into the charger and then the red notification light started flashing.
What should i do know? Please help!! Thank you in advance!:crying:
Hold down the power, volume down and volume up buttons at the same time firmly until you hear the phone vibrate. If you see a battery icon press the power button again. You should now be in the bootloader and should have the option to boot into android.
Note that I'm not sure if you have to hold down volume up. It may only be volume down and power.

There are a few other posts about people getting a red LED notification and not turning on. One had also something to do with CWM, and they all got a new N4. Can you get into the bootloader?

Hi sometimes when i have it charging and try to get into bootloader it won't and flashes the notification light red. Once i try again it works and gets into it so i can get into recovery. Is this normal? Thanks
I think the technique is to power off then hold volume down first then hold power as well... Works for me first time every time.
Hey guys, today, whilst streaming music via bluetooth and connected to data, my phone suddenly froze and then turned off out of nowhere.
I'm running Franco kernel M1 and Paranoid Android March 18th or 21st build.
When not plugged in, attempts to turn it on by holding down the power button, or the power button + vol down, have completely no response - phone stays off and nothing happens.
When plugged in to a computer or to a power outlet, holding down power button or power button+ vol down, after approx 10 seconds, starts the LED flashing red. The flashing is erratic, and goes from steady to quick to steady again, etc. No charging symbols/google logos ever come up; screen is always blank.
I'm really worried my phone is bricked, any thoughts? Stock Franco voltage and clock settings.
You need to open the back of your phone up with a t5 screwdriver I think it is. Then unplug your battery and plug it back in. Or some people have left it plugged in over note and it turned back on. But a lot of success with the unplugging that battery method

Please also considering to use the official charger.
Don't worry, it's not bricked.

Don't worry.. Nowadays is even more and more difficult to brick a device..
As DownTownJeffBrown said, the most effective method is to unplug-plug the battery
Just experienced this red led of death this morning. Tried to launch bootloader which connected to my charger and the led just blinks red. After disconnecting charger, bootloader runs normal

Try holding Power+Both volume buttons for 10 seconds, then try to boot.

Thats fixed it cheers.
Hey, my Nexus 4 died a month ago. i have tried many things from the internet, and none of them worked.
When i'm holding the volume down + power button, and inserting the USB cable, the red light is coming up, and it's Solid Red Light, and after about 10-15 second, it disappear. i sent it to one private lab, and they didn't succeed to fix it.
what can i do??
*Note: i'm going to give the device to another Lab - but i still want to hear you people
Simulate a battery pull by holding volume UP and power button simultaneously for one minute, see if that helps get you back running to the point you can at least charge it up and factory reset.
I've had the Red light of dead yesterday because i had critical battery level and didnt charge
I responsed immediately and pressed volume down + power and it entered

And then connected the charger and pressed power button again to select START
It booted and started charging

I know this proccess, but it's not working for me!
I don't know any other fixes. New battery? :/
My N4 won't power on, at all. I've tried doing the fix where you hold power and volume down and plug it in, and it'll go to recovery, the Google sign, then it'll power off and flash a single red light before going dead again. When I plug it in, without touching any buttons, one red light flashes then nothing else happens. Oh, and I've kept it charging for 2 hours and nothing different has happened. What's up with it? Did I brick my advice?
