Hi
I managed to bricked my N4 after running antutu. Is there any way to revive the phone?
I can't start the phone. If I plug the phone into my wall plug, I see constant red LED light.
I've tried the following
1) Press vol down + power button - Didn't work
2) Press vol down and up + power button - Didn't work
Is there any other way methods?

I am afraid that RMA is your only option

Hmmmm and you just needed to make new thread without searching as there was someone yesterday with exactly the same problem and of course there were million more before you. You have 3 options:
1. Leave it to charge for maybe a day or leave it for say a day and then charge and see if that helps and then charge.
2. Open the phone and disconnect and reconnect battery terminal. There should be YouTube video from one of the members.
3. RMA

Just wanted to let everyone know I managed to fix the problem by opening the phone disconnecting the battery and putting it back
After that I managed to get the phone to boot up.

It started fashing and straight away the battery fell out and then the phone wont go in to download mode or switch on. what should i do? I just bought it too... will the usb jig work?
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
what happens when charger in connected ? any sign of life ??
leave battery out for 5 mins, (make sure it has some charge)
do the 3 button combo THEN insert the battery, still holding the 3 button combo.
let me know the results
How/why would the battery fall out? If its a new phone just return it and start out fresh. Alternatively, the jig should work.

I dropped me Epic today and cant get it to power on. I took it to the sprint repair shop and some how they can power it up and I'm not sure how they do it? I need to power it on so I can fix the problem. I am running Anonymous rom i3 so it has a funny problem when powered down and plugged in....kinda freezes on charging screen. I also cant boot into recovery and cant get into download mode. The sprint store was able to power it on twice but wont help anymore because I voided warranty by changing software lol. I need to figure out if there is an alternate way to power on besides the power button? Keyboard maybe? Any input would be helpful!
Turn off, the power button + 1 key on the keyboard.

Every time I've bricked a phone I just pop in a different battery and it boots up into recovery or in our case download mode.

Well I didn't see my neighbor but my buddies wife is also a tech at the same store. I told her what's going on I'm waiting for an answer. Hopefully I'll have an answer for you tonight.
Also u should look into the jig or what ever is called it just plugs in to ur USB port and it jumps it into download mode. Ill look for a video for u. Give me a second.
Edit: here's a video on how it works.

She thinks it's your battery. Especially since it won't charge when your phone is off. She said if you go to the store with just the battery and tell it's only lasting an hour or two they should give you a new one without much trouble. That's the only way to make sure.

If all else fails I will try. The not charging thing I believe is a common bug on Anonymous i3 rom?
Just recently I have had the exact same problem. I am getting ready to bring it to Sprint tomorrow. I have reloaded factory EC05 on it to make sure it wasn't a software problem and it still happens. Here is how I am able to currently power up my phone.
With the power completely down and the battery out, plug your phone in (either AC or USB, doesn't matter).
Press the power button once. The empty battery icon will appear for a few seconds then disappear.
Press the power button again. While the empty battery icon is shown, plug in the battery. It should recognize the battery, at which point you should be able to hold in the power button for a second to get it to turn on.
That is how I can get mine to work. By any chance, do you use an extended battery? This problem started for me about 2-3 weeks after I started using an extended battery.
Hi guys a little while ago I was installing a rom and as soon as he had finished installing the phone is turned off and will not turn more except that the red led peravore able to help me what should I do??

Seems you have the red light of death ( RLOD) . Can you get into the boot loader?
Plug in the charger, hold power button and volume down button. If you can get into bootloader then use the volume key to select "power down" and use power button to choose that option. Then just leave the phone plugged in for a while.
I've had it only take maybe 5 minutes and other times take an hour. Try turning it on, if it just vibrates then shows the Google screen and reboots then redo the steps and leave it plugged in and let it sit for longer

Check the file you flashed. Sounds like you flashed a ROM not meant for the nexus 4 like a nexus 7 ROM.
If that's the case you are bricked and only a JTAG will save it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
If you can get in bootloader:
download the ROM from computer (correct one)
get into recovery
mount usb storage
put ROM in phone
flash rom
wipe
reboot
you might have to hold power and volume down for awhile.. 10+ seconds
You posted this in the wrong forum btw.. next time Q&A would be appropriate

Is a machine that can rewrite your memory without turning the phone on their are some shops on the internet that do it. last I checked only other option is lg and they are going to be more expensive than a shop.

there is a way to shake the ... brick?
So my nexus had been unplugged and without charge for about 3 weeks or so, I've been very busy at work. I try and connect the tablet so that i can use again and the screen flickers for an instant and nothing happens, I don't see the white icon charging animation and no response after that. It's my tablet done or is there a solution for this. Thanks to anybody that can help.

Ok, I don't really know what exactly the problem is. But I think the battery seems to be dead. because if it is still good, at least it shows the indicator light when it's plugged with charger.. If u have a simple tool to test battery energy maybe u can find out. or maybe try another battery..
Leave it plugged into the charger for a good while and then hold down the power button hard, for about 30 seconds. See if that forces it on.
How long did you leave it plugged in for? It may take a few hours...

Try leaving it plugged in overnight. I once had a laptop battery die on me, had to plug it in for like a week before it would turn on again.

Your device is hibernating to prevent further damaging the battery. Plug it in... boot to bootloader... select power off using the volume keys... the tablet will now charge normally

hi
My problem is solved, I have a friend who had the same problems with the tablet Nexus 7 16GB, the back of the unit opens easily with just a fingernail to open a case as remote and actually the battery plug is not fully inserted into the camera, a little bit of nail to reconnect the cable and now my tablet displays well 100% load.

Yup - there is a sticky that covers this method, and all the other methods as well. For anyone else suffering from similar N7 issues, be sure to check it out. Either go to stickies in this Troubleshooting section, or use this link.
Hi, so the short story is that my phone power button does not work, and its turned of because the battery finished and now its charged, what can I do to turn it on??
I don't think ADB works cause phone is off...
Any solution??

Fix the power button
You could attempt just plugging it in and unplugging it a bunch, I have had some phones in the past that this works for, but if you are rooted I know at least one version of twrp recovery caused my phone to power on when plugged in and it would boot to recovery, from there you could just boot to os. Of course you would still need to get it to power on at least once first, so my guess is you need to fix the power button

open phone, remove the power button board(its connected to the mobo with 2 golden pins, they just contact with mobo, so you can just lift away), and do a little short on 2 golden contacts on the mobo till phone turns on
Yes, i tried to hold it about 2 min, i'm sure this is hardware problem
