[Q] Help Nexus 4 crashed no response - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

LG nexus 4
I don't know what happened. but I was running cyanogen mod 10.2 M1 snapshot. Tried to flash googy max 1.7.8 via rom manager and the flash failed, no big deal but when attempting to reboot the phone never turned on. Shows red light and will blink if I hold in the power button while it is connected to a charger.
other than that it does nothing at all.
sucks. I have tried every button combination and disconnected the battery and reconnected. to no avail.
when connecting to computer the computer recognizes "something" but I can not access the phone at all. When holding in power button acts like it disconnects then connects then red light blinks then disconnects again.
Will connect when I just plug it into computer with Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008.
Is there anything more I can do? Aside from buying a new phone? :crying:

Google red light of death. Do your homework. There's loads of help on this.

Let it charge for a few hours/overnight, then boot into the bootloader (volume down+power). Once in the bootloader select 'Start'.

Ok I will let it charge over night but so far I can NOT get into boot-loader. That is what makes me so worried.

Non booting U8800

Ok my brother is a moron, he managed to flash again a stock rom to his u8800-51 downloaded from Huawei website.
Now this time instead of being stuck at a bootloop the phone doesn't do nothing at all just a vibration when you turn it on or connect it to the charger, the screen remains black, the pc does not detect it. No pink screen or recovery. Nothing at all.
What can i do?

Update
Ok, today i came back from work and plugged the phone on my laptop (It was completely discharged, the 4 touch buttons lighted up, the red light which i believe indicates battery started to blink and the laptop recognized as a Qualcomm MSM device,installed the drivers automatically and then nothing happened.
The screen remained black, then the buttons turned off, the red light stopped blinking, the phone vibrated and nothing else.
What happens when you remove the battery for 5 minutes and then try to go into Bootloader (Vol+,Vol- and Power) ?
If nothing, I'd say that it's bricked...
Is that a u8800-51? Or a U8800h?

It's a U8800-51 for sure, it's written above the imei number when you remove the battery.

I think I'm bricked?

I thought I'd clean up the OP for folks who got here with similar issues as me since it seems more common than we'd like.
Scenario:
Phone does not turn on without the charger or USB plugged in.
When plugged in, it boot loops at the Google logo (i.e. turns off at the logo, and reboots) and gives what is beginning to be referred to as the the 'red LED of death'--where the LED just blinks read.
The bootloader is accessible when plugged in. But trying to boot into recovery causes a loop. If you try to enter recovery, the phone has to turn off then boot back into recovery. But turning off means that when it turns on it will loop at the Google logo. So, booting into recovery is NOT an option.
Download mode is also accessible when plugged in.
Since the bootloader is accessible, it is possible to flash the factory image to the phone, however, doing so does not resolve the boot loop, nor does it allow the phone to turn on without being plugged in.
Fixes which have worked for some people
Instructions in this post worked for a couple people. NOTE: you have to be able to get into the bootloader for this to work.
One person who left it in download mode plugged into the PC (which was off) overnight, and somehow the problem was resolved. Thread here.
Here's a post in this thread from a user who was able to get it booting up again by leaving it on the charger for a bit.
You fool.

In sum: I started using the Faux kernel with AOKP. OC'd to 1.6Ghz and started Antutu. Phone crashed and now it doesn't boot. When I plug in the charger, there's the battery icon with the lighting bolt which I think indicates that the battery is dead. But it's not dead, it was around 95% when I started Antutu. So, it's constantly turning on and off showing that battery icon while plugged in, but doesn't start up. Anything I can do about this?
Also, the computer only detects it briefly, before the phone turns off again, so ADB/fastboot/toolkit seems out of the question, because it doesn't stay detected long enough to do anything.

Tape the power button down so it goes into a power cycle. Leave it until the battery is totally dead. Then plug it into the wall outlet, let it fully charge. Then try turning it on.

I would say try this to drain the battery. Then charge it and see what happens.
So how exactly did the phone brick? Just so everyone here knows what not to do. Is it the kernel that caused it since its still in experimental stages?

Have you tried reflashibg or using your nan droid back up from the recovery console?
Just because our won't not does not mean it is bricked.
It is really ticking me of that many people do not even have our phones and you are exchanging because of ignorance. Surely all these exchanges must impact stock. I know they keep extras but how many?

That's the point. It'll turn on and off until the battery is ACTUALLY dead. Then, charge it fully, and try to start it.
Dude this happened to me last night! Same ROM kernel combo! And fired up an tutu after ocing point is this should not be happening just made a thread and seen this here! Freaky! I'm telling u people beware something is up for sure been doing this a long time never seen this before
First if you have an unlocked bootloader, your replacement won't be free. As soon as Google gets it and realizes it's unlocked they will charge you full price for your replacement.
Second, Nexus devices are next to impossible to brick. There is probably a way to reset the device. I would try first unplug the device from your computer or charger and try holding the power button for a full 15-20 seconds. Then try booting into bootloader or recovery. If that doesn't work, try holding volume up and power for 15-20 seconds. If that doesn't work, try volume down and power for 15-20 seconds. And if that one doesn't work try holding all 3 down for 15-20 seconds. This sounds like a problem that would more than likely be fixed by removing the battery and rebooting. Since this doesn't have a removable battery there has to be a built in 'hard reset' that will power cycle the phone.
I am willing to bet there is a way to get this working. I guarantee if I had it here in front of me I could.
Also, like someone else has said before, if you are a not good at diagnosing problems, troubleshooting problems, fixing this kind of stuff on your own and adb/fastboot, it makes no sense to be using experimental software on your device. Especially if you plan on pushing its boundaries by overclocking and running benchmark software. If I were you, after you get this straightened out, wait a while until stuff is more ppolished and tested better.
So, by sheer luck, I was able to get into the bootloader and have it stay on. I was then able to use the toolkit (option 9) to flash the google factory stock image. This completed successfully, and I was also able to re-lock the bootloader, but I still have the same problem as I did before: battery charging icon and constant reboot. So, it's completely stock now and the issue is still there. Would it be reasonable to assume that the issue isn't software and I somehow got a hardware failure?
Yo hold power down then plug USB in then right after hold all three button .like after u plus in USB while holding power button then at same time hold volume buttons also this is how I got into download mode.....but.....phone was not detected and comp SD there was a driver failure. But yes dude phone was charged. And I had same exact combo as u I mean same exact. This is why it is freaky. Aokp was fine all day then when I flashed faux test kernel and fired up antutu I just had a flash then nothing. Not blaming anyone of course it was me who chose to flash after all this is custom software and I love these guys work just wish I knew what did it ....like what actually did it

I was able to do the same thing but it would vibrate then see Google for a sec then nothing and back to a blinking red light....dude this is crazy I can't. Believe this happened to another person the same exact way
dammit. And I was just going to try this combo. Guess that's gonna be a no go.
Last ditch effort is to unscrew the two t5 screws at the bottom and do a real battery pull. Probably wont work, but what do you have to lose?

Bricked my n4 after flashing ubuntu touch!!

hey guys....
i hate myself....
anybody know how to know how to recover my n4???? heres what happend....
i recoverd my stuff like always
put the two downloads from this page on my SD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324683)
did a pull wipe and dalvik
formatted system
then i wanted to flash the files
and without purpose flashed the second one first!
NOW
my phone wont boot... no recovery.... no bootloader and not fastboot!!
its suck at the google logo!!!
but whats wierd ist that at that google logo the PC sees it and also does toolkits!!! but no ADB
please if anyone has any idea how to get this running again please help me out!
Hold Power until it turns off then release the power button and press "volume - " and power at the same time and keep holding both.
What happens then?
Try to download this toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469
And choose flash stock.
I don't know if it works but you can try.
Also, alot of people get stuck and can still can get into bootloader try every possible way to get there because if you can access bootloader you can fix it with ease.
Did adb work before? If not it might be your drivers so fix that if it worked before you don't can access your phone with adb while on the google screen.
Good luck!

Your battery died.
You need to put it in the charger for some time, the red light will go away eventually. Or try ro charge it with your computer or car.
BUT before doing that I THINK you must let it completly drain, so just let it the way it is and try the above tommorrow.
I'm not sure though so another member here needs to confirm this!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
battery died indeed (probably fully discharged)
Try this:
1. just leave it charging for +- 30 min and check if it 'running' again (battery icon on screen).
and/or
2. hold the power button and then plug it in to a power source. Be patient because it may take up to 30 seconds for it to boot.
If it's working again and battery is full but system is not booting, try booting with volume- + power buttons and flash everything again (e.g. android 4.3) with fastboot.
thanks but No Chance!! the batter is full!!! if i tun it on with vol + or vol - or vol + and - ! all i get is a blinking red LED

I got a red light, not flashing ubuntu, it was running antutu with less than 30% bat, and OC. its all about battery.
What i did....
Plug my N4 to the wall charger all night long. After that i plug off and there was the same red led. I went to my job, on my way, i plugged into the car charger and....woalaaa , suddenly the red light turn off, pressed the power button and it start normally.
Do the same,but when you try to power on, do it pressing VOL- and power button to start on bootloader cuz you dont have an android system mount on it. Then Flash factory image vía fastboot.
I got that red light thing twice already OCin. And that work for my in both cases
Good luck

Red blinking LED is a battery voltage problem, best way people have found to solve is to use a 3rd party charger for a day or so then try again even if you think it's full.

just connect your phone to PC and reinstall the drivers on PC... your PC just needs to detect the USB! and then use blank flash as per the link provided! if it gets stuck at waiting for the device, hold the power and vol down for like 5-10 sec...It will work.. i have done it and was able to boot my phone! the only difference is that i was on windows 10! Hope it works!

Phone won't turn on, no charging indicator

Hey All,
I have bought a used leeco pro 3 off swappa. Unfortunately I didn't get the phone until much later after delivery (had to have someone bring it to me). In photos the phone works fine, but when I got it it won't turn on and there's no indicator that it's charging at all. When I do plug it in, the phone does get warm though.
Any thoughts what the problem could be?
Have you tried another USB-C cable? Apparently the stock OEM one sucks.

I have another leeco and I tried that charger still nothing. I've been reading and wondering if the battery drained. I'm going to leave it plugged in for awhile to see if anything changes. I plugged it directly into my laptop and it made that noise that it recognized something was plugged in but it didn't turn on or anything like that.

Hello, I have very similar problem. My Leeco le pro 3 don't charge I try diffrend cables and chargers but when plug-in only orange diode start to blink. Do you have any other ideas what to try?
same problem here. LeEco shut down because of low battery. After plugging the charger in it, the LED only blinks red. Then it vibrates, turns off and starting into the charging mode without charging. Starting TWRP or dotOS is not possible because it shuts down.
