Accidentally flashed Nexus 4 with GS2 rom - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was helping my friend root and install PA on his phone. I got everything going good and asked him to find me the rom he wanted to use while I was doing everything else on it. Only problem is that he gave me the file for a Galaxy S II Paranoid Android rom. Found out after flashing it, and GAPPS and the phone wouldn't turn on. I have already tried a few things. I cannot get the phone to boot into fastboot, all it does is show the red light for a second and disconnect from my PC after a few seconds. It does the little device connected sound really quick, then nothing.
Holding power shows no LED, but my PC does detect a device.
Holding power+volume down shows the red LED error and that's it.
Edit:
For anyone wondering we already tried all power up options and it still just gives a red LED.

It gets connected so you can use adb?

It only connects for a second. Like, basically it turns on for a split second and immediately turns back off.

It's dead. Sorry. Only way to revive it is with JTAG.

Well that sucks. I'm still fairly new to android but it was pretty straight forward with the toolbox to get the basic stuff done. Oh well, warranty time now I guess.

It was loaded to the internal memory and flashed on the device itself from the recovery menu. So no, no safety as far as I know.

Everything went fine on my end. I told him to research and find which Rom he wanted so he had downloaded it. Toolbox worked amazingly and everything else went fine, and I've never done a nexus 4 so I didn't know what the file name is even supposed to look like so I just assumed he got the right one. Either way thanks guys, I know there's nothin else we can do now but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Won't boot at all and the screen stays black. I've only rooted a few phones and my N7 so that link is pretty advanced for me. Still a good read so I'll look into it but for now if insurance will replace it then well just do that.

People are asking if the N4 is able to get to the bootloader/fastboot...since you used a "toolbox", it is safe to assume that you rely on ADB and the auto-scripts provided by said GUI tool only after a full boot. Since you cannot get a full boot, you feel stuck...Are you aware of Vol Up + Vol Down + Power taking you to fastboot from an off state? The OP doesn't mention you trying this key sequence at all. Make sure your battery is charged first because you, likely, have a dead battery if your device has only shown a "black" screen...plug it in, let it charge (if it shows the battery charging, you are probably going to be ok).
Since no one has bluntly suggested trying the basics and told you the button sequences, you probably haven't even tried them. I am just trying to assist you so your flippant "warranty time" approach doesn't cause MY deductible (used only for physically damaged or lost/stolen devices) to rise, yet again, anytime soon.
Please reply on here so you can get that thing fixed. It is likely that you just had a bad install of an actually compatible ROM or failed install of that GS2 ROM versus a rogue full install from another device. Asserts are in scripts for a reason.

That is the exact rom he chose. I asked someone else about it and he replied with this "The OP has cooked the kernel inside the rom. Your mates phone doesn't have a dead bootloader, it's trying to boot the S2 kernel but can't due to the diffirent chipsets".
I also tried powering it on every way possible without any luck, guess I should have mentioned that. Yeah though, already tried with
Just holding power
Holding power +vol down
hold power + vol up
holding all three down
No luck with any.

If the boot loader is fine you should try to get into fastboot mode. Power off. Now press Power and volume down together until you get something on the screen. I would be surprised the phone is bricked just because you flash the wrong kernel.

This.
The ROM, Kernel, and Bootloader are totally different parts to the Nexus 4. You can commonly flash a wrong ROM, and even Kernel, but the Bootloader should be the last thing touched.
So, as long as you have a bootloader, you can access fastboot, and restore Google's factory image (or flash TWRP and have another go at a custom ROM/Kernel).

you probably had signature checking turned off in your recovery

I have never heard of a phone being bricked from only a ROM flash. It doesn't make too much sense. How could the wrong rom influence the bootloader?
Your phone should boot. Either you're doing something wrong while trying to boot, or the rom flash wasn't the only thing you have done to that phone.

[SOLVED] Strange Screen When Booting

I have a case on my Nexus 7 that uses the four sensors on the side to turn the screen on and off. I was using the tablet just fine, then I close the case like normal, and upon opening it, it would not turn on. The only way to get a response from the device is by plugging it in and the screen just lights up black. Any type of power reset using the button combinations result in the screen shown in the video at the end of the post.

Good deal!
There have been a couple threads where folks reported similarly-behaving screens. "sparkles", "static", "like an old tv screen", et cetera. I think at least several of them were similarly traced to battery charge issues or loose terminals on the battery connector.
Maybe add "[SOLVED]" to your thread title and it will help future visitors with the same issue.

[Q] The phone is dead after flashing new Kernel

I had Franco's 110, then flashed Faux's kernel resetter and Motley's 37 one after another. Phone now would not turn on. I searched other threads and it seems like holding vol + and - together with Power, should fix it. However in my case,only the led turns on and stays solid red.
Any ideas?
Check and make sure you didn't flash a Nexus 7 kernel version.
If you did its toast.

Rest in peace if n7 kernel..
The Kernel file name is motley_422_n4_exp_build_37
However, Kernel resetter was downloaded from N7 thread, for some reason I was under impression its the same file...
The file name is grouper-faux123-reset-kernel-4.2.2

Kernel resetter is just the stock kernel. If you got it from the N7 forum its the N7 stock kernel.

Hi,
This is not the phone that is fragile, it's what the user do with it... If you flash a kernel from a Nexus 7 to the Nexus 4... for me it's legitim to have "a little problem"... It's the same thing for all the phones, try to flash a kernel from another phone instead the one make for your phone and see the result...
If you don't read correctly and don't paid attention at what you do or flash... It's not the phone that is the responsible...

You bought a Nexus device. Use it. Root it. Flash it. Play with it. You worry too much. Stop being so paranoid. Again, if you carefully do the correct steps you will get the results you desire. If you miss a step you will be sad that you screwed up your phone. If you're in math class and you miss a step to the formula to the equation you will get it all wrong. Pay attention to all the little details. You will be a pro at rooting in the future if you follow the steps meticulously.

im guessing so. i had the "red light of death" last night. i was using my phone at like 2% battery left, rebooted it and it said i had 5% left. big whoop my battery calibration is a little jacked. well i kept using it and instead of going through the shutting down thing when the battery died, the screen just went blank. again, because the battery calibration is way off. so i plug it in, and the light turns red for about 10 seconds. then the light turns off, and the battery charging icon appeared. i waited 10 mins for it to get a small charge then booted right up. not a single problem. i really dont get why everyone is having such freak accidents and problems with this phone.

Nexus 4 bricked, totally i guess

Bricked my Nexus 4 flashing a wrong ROM. Since i'm in EU and the phone USA probably will not get warrantly either
Now it won't even go to recovery, is there anything i can try?

I don't think RMA covers user mistakes Its hard bricked if you flashed the wrong ROM. You have to send it away for J-Tag. Likely your only solution.

Did you lost all the personal datas?
I had the same issue. Windows Explorer on my Win 7 computer was not downloading the image properly from Google, and when I tried to install the factory image I got the red led and it was stuck on the "X" screen. After trying several times to get it into download mode, I discovered that I could eventually catch it if I hit the volume down and power buttons at a certain exact time during bootup, at which time I reloaded a non-corrupted factory image and I was up and running.

No, as long as they didn't know you opened it.
Are you sure the phone doesn't turn on or is it a black screen. Did you try holding Power + Volume Down to get into the fastboot menu? From there you can use fastboot to flash recovery, which is the recommended way.

It happens. Battery stats in our device isn't too accurate. I've had that a couple of times. In fact, when my Nexus 7 2012 runs out of battery and I don't charge it for 4 hours or so it always needs half an hour to turn on.
Just let charge it completely. And then try to turn it on again. I experienced the same thing with twrp 2.6. asking me to fix the root part and then I did not boot up again.I just uninstalled it afterward. I rather use CWM. I like it better. Might be a battery issue, but CWM have not given me any warning with root fix.
Just my personal experience. :good:

I just updated twrp from 2.6.0.0 to 2.6.3.0 with the zip file via recovery. After flashing, the recovery asked me to fix root. After that the phone turned off en wont turn on anymore. Any One knows why and how i can fix this?? If i plug in the charger and try to turn on the device, the red led goes on.
Please help!!!

Waited about 8 hours, but still nothing. Btw i did connect it to my PC, and it says searching drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD. I think i have a hardbrick here. Can i solve this myself, or do i have to send it for repair?

The "magic" way - open the back cover (2 screws), disconnect the battery flex cable, reconnect it, close the back cover and....viola.

I had a similar issue, I ran antutu and my phone went into a coma, no button combos were working and when I plugged in my phone I got the flashing red death light. But like PsyOr says just take of the back undo the two little screw's the hold the battery connector on, pop it off the put it back on and you're good. Worked like a charm for me.

Actually seems like a hard brick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347060 try this.
And don't forgot to thank that guy, it's a brilliant post
No, its not a hardbrick, its the red light issues which is well known. Just remove the battery and reinsert it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250454
A hardbrick is when a piece of hardware stop working completely and needs to be physically replaced, I don't know why people like to use that term for anything.

That doesn't explain why the pc is asking him to use drivers for download mode. If the phone really dint have enough battery shouldn't it have not connected to the pc.
Also the device will be hard bricked even if a wrong kernel/rom is flashed. But it can be unbricked by the above method.
Try the Nexus 4 toolkit. There are options to re-install everything up again. If you are sure that your battery is in good working order, then it might be software related issue. I don't think it's a hardware problem.

If you are in download mode as indicated by your pc detecting the phone as QHUSB_DLOAD this is not the common battery fault.
You will likely get here by the bootloader failing
At this point you are more bricked than a general soft brick. But still not completely hard bricked.
There is a very useful thread in the general section about how to fully flash using download mode.
You can find the info below, note that there are a lot of steps involved so if your not confident. Rma is probably your best bet

Bootup time Nexus 6P

Nexus 6P takes well over one mine to bootup compare to my Note 5 20 second.
what could be the cause of this? could it be from android 6 ?
Mine does, too, but I don't know why boot time would ever be a concern to me.

Never rebooted. I'll check it out 2016

Not a concern at all but when I rooted my nexues, flash recovery or update to 6.0.1 I noticed this. Since this is my first nexus I was wondering why would it take this long.

Verified boot takes an extra ten seconds, from what I hear, just to show you that message. So maybe it's an unlocked bootloader?
I'm guessing device encryption has something to do with it.

Phone is being decrypted at each boot. That's normal, nothing to worry about.
