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.

Ok, I have a T-Mobile Mytouch 3G (Magic) which was Rooted. I used FastBootCommander to flash one of the Gingerbread .zip files and it failed.
Now, I can't even boot the phone. If I remove the battery, then replace it and hook up my PC cable, the amber light comes on. If I then hit the power button, the amber light goes off and nothing else happens, and at that point I can only remove the battery again to get the amber light to come back.
If I hold the trackball and hit the power button I get the blue light, but I still
can't do anything from there.
Am I completely bricked? Any tricks I'm missing?
Hmm...
Remove battery and place it back after 5-10 seconds. It can help when phone is bootlooping.
Then press and hold Back + Power. Phone will start into fastboot-mode
Other combinations:
Home + Power (recovery)
VolumeDown + Power (hboot)
If any combination will success - hardware is working properly, but need ROM)
None of the combos are working except for Trackball + Power, and that only
gives me the blue light.
totally bricked i think
your case like mine before,if we plug charging and push power button, light goes off..
all you can do is JTAG i think..
Yeah. A brick.
McCordRM, what files did you flash? I will analyze them...
JTAG do
success with JTAG,
last chance to wake up from dead(Bricked)
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?
Has anyone else had weird things happen while trying to manually boot into recovery? Usually I can get into recovery just fine, but this has happened to me twice now: I'll shut the phone down, then hold VOL- and PWR. But instead of the android on its back, it'll show the white Google logo. If I keep the VOL and PWR buttons pressed down, the red LED will blink several times and then the phone will shut off. If I then push/hold the PWR button, the phone boots up normally.
I know there are people having trouble with possibly bricked N4s showing the red LED - that is not what I'm experiencing. My phone runs and boots just fine. I'm just wondering whether the weird LED I'm seeing is cause for concern, or if I'm just doing something silly while booting into recovery? Am I holding down the PWR button too long and the phone thinks I'm trying to hard reset?
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?
