hi guy , i broken phone a few days ago, now i tried to send to phone shop for repair. the glasses is broken, but the phone work fine.,it can turn on and the three buttons (volume and power ) is functional.
but im wondering how to erase data in the phone if the phone does not response when i use the screen..
i think the usb debugging is off. bc i tried to use the toolbox to reset to factory mode, and it says no phone detect..
Can you still see things on the screen? Try to access the recovery and erase the phone from there

Boot to fastboot by holding power and volume down. Then you can
Fastboot erase userdata to wipe it. Or flash factory images

Nonono. You don't put the recovery on your SD card, and u don't flash it using your phone.
You flash it through fastboot from a computer using:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

So I just unlocked my boot loader and rooted it + installed CMw recovery, and after I did that I was able to get into recovery mode, however I put a custom kernel in my internal storage so that I could flash it but now I can't get into recovery mode... when I clicked recovery it goes to the black screen with the Google symbol on it and stays there.... any idea what I can do here?

You can't get into recovery without a USB cable connected. Install Quickboot from the Google Play Store. That's how i boot into recovery.Quickboot is the only way to do it without a cable.

oh damn, lol thanks alot, had no idea that you needed to be connected, i'll definately be installing quickboot i feel like such a moron
IF A MOD WANTS TO DELETE THIS NOW THEY CANT, THANKS AGAIN!
Yes you can get into recovery without a usb . I'm not sure what the quickboot thing is all its doing is executing a command like
#reboot recovery
That's all it does. If you have terminal execute that command.
But if you're recovery is broken just reflash it using
#fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Or just use the toolkit.

OK so I got quick boot and it works like a charm.. I just click recovery and it takes me to recovery, works like a charm

That is what you are supposed to see, don`t worry about it and just press any button. If the bootloader is allreay unlocked you will not loose data. And don`t use Toolkits anymore

Might help to know what error and which img file (specifically), I would just pull down TWRP 2.5.0.0 (specifically for mako):
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
Boot into recovery (wipe/format and flash up new rom, etc), or if you instead get an error note the specific error.
PS: If you have no rom/etc due to erasure, you can 'adb push' the zip files to /sdcard while in recovery.
C:\sdk>fastboot flash bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img
unknown partition 'bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img'

First off, bootloader isn't a "recovery", second you're missing a parameter
fastboot [action] [partition] [file]
You were basically telling it to flash nothing onto a partition named bootloader-make-makoz10o.img which course doesn't exist.

This is why you don't use a bootloader. Just do it the old fashion way.
You don't need to flash a bootloader. Just fastboot flash stock Google images and start over
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
Also please change the title, your phone isn't bricked. You just messed up due to taking a shortcut route aka toolkit.

yes proper drivers installed. Just unrooted and relocked old nexus 4 for return and then tried to root and unlock new one and it **** on me
It probably will if you use the proper syntax since you have to tell it which partition.
If you go and grab the TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery image from their website for mako, you can use the following
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Making sure there are 4 parts as the word recovery is part of the command.

Thus why you download one and flash. It's nearly impossible to hard brick a Nexus. Just helps not to receive panic. Take a couple breaths and figure out the proper commands.

Hi guys !
I need your help for trying to recover my information from my Nexus 4... (Thanks in advance)
First, my N4 is:
With the screen cracked, so, the bottom half of the screen is not responding to any touch
Locked with a lock pattern (and because of the damaged screen, I can't unlock the phone)
With stock Android
With USB debugging on
Not rooted
With no other modification whatsoever (No custom ROM or recovery mode, etc)
First I tried the obvious, I connected the N4 to my computer expecting a miracle; as the phone is locked, and I can't unlock it, ADB just didn't worked.
I also tried sending a .zip thought "adb sideload" (using the stock recovery mode) to delete the files where the lock pattern is, but an "signature verification error" occurred (because the phone is not rooted, I guess). I've tried to delete the files with "adb -d shell" but (obviously) as ADB is not working, a "device not found" error showed up.
So I guess the question here is... What are my options ? Is there any way I can recover my photos and files ?
Thanks in advance!
Try going into recovery and using adb from there. Turn off the phone then turn it boot into the bootloader using volume down and power. Use the volume rockers to scroll and highlight Recovery mode, then use power to select it. Once in recovery press and hold power, then volume up to enter the menu. Then try "adb devices", and if the phone is recognized you can use what you want.

Flash a custom recovery and boot into it... I think custom recoveries support adb.. If USB debugging is ON and proper drivers are installed on your PC, you can do 'adb pull' for the necessary files

To flash the recovery you will need to unlock your bootloader which is meant to wipe all your data. However if you flash the recovery right after unlocking the bootloader (no reboot in between) the data should not get wiped.

Flash recovery from fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery". Then you can use adb from the custom recovery.

There are no commands in fastboot to recover data. Only adb, which if you can't boot into recovery or the os you're sol.

fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

I'd then flash the factory image with fastboot. That way the partitions will be written to twice.
Edit, if you're able to use fastboot have you tried booting into a custom recovery?

Just put phone into bootloader mode to flash back to stock or option for soft brick whatever you prefer. The easy way to do it, just download NexusRoot Toolkit and do it from there.
