There is a later version of RSDlite, give that a go?
Does your device go into bootloader mode? or does nothing at all happen?

Deas nexus 4

Hello everyone,
I was doing an antutu test, and the phone just shut off yesterday. The battery was about 60% and then impossible to restart it. I then let it cool down 10mn then tried again with no luck. I plugged to the wall with original cable and plug and then a red flashing light was lit. I went to read online about this behaviour to find out it was (to some people say) due to battery being dead and had to wait to recharge a bit. I let charge for about 2h but there was no icon of battery charging on the screen. No need to mention that i have tried everything (holding power button for 60sec, holding volume down + power button etc etc) nothing was working. Then i read somewhere on this forum i had to press volume down + power THEN plug it into wall. I gave a try then it worked it went to recovery mode.... BUT BUT BUT once i tried to go to each option (start, restart bootloader, recovery mode), the phone was shutting down right away after the google image and again red flashing light... Bummer... So since it was getting into recovery mode i plugged it to pc and then followed the thread on how to reinstall stock rom etc etc. I followed steps but since i was already with a custom rom and kernel (PA+TRINITY) i used the toolboxkit because the command fastboot was not working in the command window. I did flashed the stock bootloader following what was supposed to be flashed first.Result.. Now no red flashing light, but nothing else either, no light, no power, no charging, no recovery mode, nothing... ANY ideas would be highly apreciated before i call google for an exchange.
Thanks to all for help.
What exactly do you plan on telling Google?
How did you flash only the bootloader??
Did you try the toolkit to reflash stock???

Well since it does nothing else anymore i was going to tell them the truth besides the part it had another custom rom and kernel and i started the toolkit and i placed the 6 stock .img int he right folder then i started by flashing the bootloader and was waiting for reboot to flash the rest of the images like it is mentionned on the thread on this forum.
I used the toolkit to flash the bootloader but now the phone is dead completly. No light flashing, no battery icon, it is plugged on the wall and i get no power in it.. This is why im stuck before trying to flash stock rom and wipe all datas...
If you have any idea... i take it gladly!! but im not very used with toolkit so i dont seem to know how to wipe all datas besides flashing stok data image?? but the question is hos to get power back in phone now???
thank you for your precious help
anyone else???

The recovery only supports charging inside. Depending on the recovery it may let you.

[Q] Is my phone bricked?

Hi all,
I was upgrading to android 4.3 using the factory image provided by google. During the upgrade it displayed a message that it will restart my phone in bootloader mode. But the phone never restarted and since then it isnt turning on. When i try to get into recovery mode using power + vol down or even just press the power key the phone does not turn on, instead the led flashes in red color till i let go of the keys.
For the red led issue i found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250454. But on few other threads i read that if it shows QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager on windows then you phone is bricked.
Can someone help me here. Not sure if my phone is bricked completely.
P.S. I was on stock rom + franco's kernel before flashing 4.3.
Did you use the correct image for the phone? The correct one should have 'Occam' in the file name.

I was on stock rom only. I downloaded the image for nexus 4 from google's site and ran the flashall.bat file. Then it showed a message 'Pushing bootloader' and this was successful then it displayed a message saying 'restarting phone in bootloader mode'(Initially connected the phone by pressing power + vol down). After that the phone never restarted. Since then I am not able to start my phone.

the battery was at 30%... is there anyway to recover now?
If there is no sign then only a mother board replacement can be done, I hope u had bought the an official Indian piece with warranty and not an import.
please follow the red light of death thread. That should get you into bootloader / fastboot. Then reflash

Help! Nexus 4 bricked, can't get into bootloader!

After trying to update to 5.0 using factory image, I was stuck on "waiting for device" after entering flash_all.bat, and then found that the phone wouldn't boot at all, not into bootloader or anything.
When I hold the vol down button and power button, after about 10 seconds there's a red light that flashes briefly when not plugged into my computer. When plugged in, it flashes for about a second, and I'll hear the device connect and disconnect.
What can I do at this point? D:
Are you sure your battery has not gone into deep discharge? Try charging for several hours through the wall socket, not the PC usb port.

Do you have a link to the nx kernel? Flashing the wrong kernel will brick your device
