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.

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

Looks like that is a gs2 ROM. Only way to save it is JTAG.
For future reference only flash Roms made for the device you are using.

See if you can power it on in the download mode. I forgot the button combo, but it's volume up or down (or both) and power.

It won't work. Its bricked just like all of the others who flashed roms or kernels not meant for the N4.

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.

Wifi doesn't turn on help

Hi guys,
I have the following problem, I had pa installed on my oppo everything was fine minus the dots on the camera.
I decided to try CM10 so I flashed it like I allways flash my phones, full wipe and flash everything went well. But this time I turn on the phone and I cant enable wifi, so I came to stock hoping it would correct the issue, well it didn't so I flashed some other roms and guess what ? cant enable wifi on any of them. is simply say's "turning wifi on..."
guys I've done everything do you have any suggestions ?
regards,
Sérgio Pereira

Are you just trying at home? If you haven't already, try resetting your router/modem. The ole unplug for 10 seconds should do the trick.

So you have 2 phones with the same problem? How/when did that happen to the phone in the video?

For anyone else who comes her looking for the answer. You need the 4.2 modem from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407583554

Can't open settings.

Something strange is going on with my N4, every time I try to open my settings it just closes it again almost instantly. Also I've noticed that if I turn off wifi it turns itself back on straight away and then it goes into silent mode for a second (speaker symbol with dash through it) then back to full volume. I've tried restarting it and uninstalling recent apps. I am thinking about doing a factory reset but don't want to if I can help it... But I can't anyway because I can't get into settings! Nothing shows up in virus scans. Screen briefly flashes black regularly too. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

Unfortunately you will have to wipe EVERYTHING on your device to fix this issue.
For now press and hold the power button, press and hold the power off option.
You should see a safe mode option, press OK and the device will boot to safe mode.
In that stage check the settings if it still works.

No idea, probably some settings or kernel bug.
Did it work?, if so then reboot to get off safe mode and see if it works.

I can get the settings to stay open in safe mode but still same problem when I restart it again. Should I do a factory reset?

Most likely an app is doing this, yes try factory resetting.

Did you installed an antitheft app?? Usually they try to make the settings persistent when in locked to Help phone recovery mode which usually gets activated by changing the SIM card
A factory reset should fix that in most cases

What you said makes sense. So, just for the future reference. Should I uninstall my anti-theft app before changing sim card? Will this prevent if from happening? Thanks!

Run shift without battery?

I have seen this video of someone running their shift without a battery installed, he never actually explains the process but mentions the BIOS lock that disables the device when no battery is present or battery level warning.

Anyone have any idea how to achieve this? I have emailed the videos creator with no luck -_-

So no one has a clue, that's OK, does anyone have an ideas? Is it possible to hard wire it to accept no battery? Is it true there could be a software block in place?
Just spit balling? This forum gets plenty of traffic, just no one willing to throw some ideas out :/

Mine works anyway with no accu. I used to replace my accu for a full one on the net so it wouldn't turn off.

Nexus 4 shutdown everytime

Hi guys, there's a nexus 4 of my friend that shutdowns every time I try to turn it on. It's all stock, not rooted and bootloader locked.
I tried a factory reset and it worked for some days but it started again this noisy shutdown.
How can I try to restore it?

How old is the battery, do you know how many charging cycles did it have?
What apps do you use? Do you feel the phone heating up before shutting down?
