Stop and take a breath.
Right this happened to me execpt I had no idea how to use adb, download a toolkit, I used Wug Fresh but I am sure it can work in any. Then delete all the drivers for your nexus 4 and then download the universal drivers. Then perform the battery pull (push the power and volume up for 5 sec) and boot into fastboot (power + up buttons). Flash to boot with the status soft-bricked. It should boot up and good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Stop worrying about the debugging already lol, when you boot in fastboot (volume down + power button) you do not need debugging because it is ON in fastboot

Okay so I flashed a rom and im stuck in a bootloop, but I cant get into recovery to restore a nandroid. My power button receded so as soon as I put in a battery it immediately turns on. But if i go into bootloader, not the power button nor the volume keys will work. So I cant get into recovery that way. Is there any other way like with adb in bootloader? Or am i screwed lol.
Thanks in advance for help, I could really use it.
adb reboot bootloader
adb reboot recovery
It should be obvious what they do. Bootloader won't do you much good without a power button.

if you are in bootloader mode, make sure the phone says FASTBOOT USB somewhere on the screen when connected to the computer.
then type
Code:
fastboot reboot (whatever it is you want to reboot to)
adb only works in recovery or android itself.

Just boot the phone in the regular way.
While it boots, in bootanimation or even a bit before that, execute "adb reboot recovery".

Bump.
I can't get it back into fastboot usb either, I think the power button fixed for a second before and selected fastboot.
Do you have a warranty on this phone?
If not, you may want to open it where you can access the power button more easily.
Before you do that though, get it caught in a bootloop and try adb reboot recovery. Reboot and try again at a different point. It should work eventually. Persistence might pay off.

Since you're in the bootloop, your device is connecting and disconnecting. See when it connects (easily recognized Windows "USB device connected" sound), then execute "adb reboot recovery" until the command catches or the phone reboots. Attempt several times.
If it won't work - open the phone and fix the button.
I was trying to unroot my nexus 7 and my computer crashed whilst doing it. My nexus 7 is on the ClockworkMod Recovery screen and the sideload started and then the computer crashed. It won't move from the screen and the only way I know how to unbrick needs USB debugging to get into fast boot mode and I can't because I can't load android. Can someone please help me i'm scared it won't work again.
You can reboot to the bootloader manually and fastboot flash the stock image.

Don't need adb, just reboot it into the bootloader (fastboot mode) and load one of these images...

To reboot, hold power and both volume buttons for approx. 30 seconds. Use the image that insanity213 posted.

Please help! I am somewhat a noob and I have a bricked Moto X pure. My phone bricked when i was installing supersu from the twrp. Now it can get into bootloader but all the data on my phone is deleted including twrp. For me this would be an easy fix but of course, my phone does not sense the usb cord. I have tried a couple usb cords to connect to my pc but none of them will work. Am i stuck into a paradox if i dont find a way to get my usb cord to work? Pleaser Help!!!

Honestly, if your phone can't talk to your computer with fastboot in the bootloader, your pretty much screwed.
How did you root? What specific version and steps did you take?
I used the hiensberg guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3200808
What do you think is the best option from here?
Are you trying to get into fastboot with it connected to computer?

No im already in fastboot mode. Im just trying to restore my devioe so that it works. When i power on my phone it displays the unlocked bootloader warning then goes into fastboot mode. The screen reads-
"Start up failed: Your device didnt start up succesfully. Use the software repair assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the software repair assistant. AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure) Error: failed to load kernel! Fastboot reason: fall-through from normal boot mode"
On top of this my device will not connect to my computer through usb and all my data is deleted included twrp. I really dont know what to do

No... Factory images and custom recovery can only be loaded with fastboot.
So if you connect you phone in the Bootloader to your PC and do "fastboot devices" what is the response? And what OS?

Do you have this when you boot into bootloader/fastboot mode?
Power off, vol - & power?
I think you can't repair it in home.
It looks like you flashed something wrong or something in wrong place.
F.e.: twrp into boot partition.

Hmm i just tried that and no device showed up. I think after this im just gonna buy a fresh usb cord and if that does work i am scarping this phone. I overall had a very bad experience with this phone anyways. Ill get back to you once i try.
But you had unlocked and flashed TWRP, right? So fastboot worked at one time and you understand how to use it, generally at least?

Yes fastboot worked at one time and so did twrp. I had reached the last stage of rooting which was installing supersu when the whole thing crashed. After my phone stopped working i went into recovery mode and used twrp to format my data and delete everything. Since then i havent been able to plug in a usb or go into recovery mode

Hmm... Sounds like bad luck, hopefully a new, quality cable will take care of it for you
Looks like it was all bad luck. A day after I bricked my phone my charger port broke
Hi, my 6p will not show up on my PC. Have tried installing drivers, different PC, different cable but nothing works.
I recently upgraded to android O. I extracted the files from system image and flashed boot image, vendor image, and system. But now when I try to go into recovery it says no command and I lost root access but my bootloader is unlocked. I never flashed the recovery thinking TWRP would stay intact but I guess I was wrong. Normally I would just use ADB and fix it but hence my problem. Is there any way to root without PC or any way I can fix my situation?
Having the same exact issue here, hope someone has a way to fix it.

So your phone will boot into the OS, or not? If so, make sure USB debugging is set to "on" in Developer Settings. Can you put your device in fastboot mode by holding down the volume down button before hitting the power button? The "no command" means you are in (stock) recovery. You then have to hold the power button down while using the volume buttons to navigate. Power button is confirm. Get your phone into bootloader mode and use ADB to flash TWRP again. @meoshe

Yes phone is working fine. Debugging is on. Can't use ADB phone does not get recognized by PC, only charges. Dint even get the pull down notification once I connect usb. Tried changing connection to mtp in developer options also. Nada. Nothing works to fix it. I'm thinking my charging port might have something wrong with it I don't know. I'm stuck not having root atm.

Gotcha. What about the other points? Entering bootloader mode from a powered off state, and that you are in Recovery mode (no command), and navigating thru it with the power+volume buttons?

Yes that works. Thank you. But still can't root phone and can't flash TWRP. Was looking at a root APK but not sure if they will work with O. If I could root then I could install TWRP thru it's app but I need root for that.
You can't root the phone until you have a working custom recovery. Focus on either fastboot flashing or fastboot booting TWRP.img

How do I go about fastboot booting TWRP image?
I can get into bootloader from phone but I can't use a PC.
I did read your OP, but this sounds like a driver issue. There are two drivers that need to be installed first the USB and then fastboot. Since you can boot the device and use it, maybe you should try NRT by Wugfresh to install, test and confirm the drivers are properly installed. Booting or flashing TWRP is just a different command. Instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, you use fastboot boot recovery recovery.img. The NRT toolkit can also either boot or flash a recovery image.
EDIT: Also try "Revoking ADB debugging" and re-enabling @sonysingh1983

Hi, just tried the mtp setting in developer options. Didn't get it the first time but now am able to access internal storage. I have plug sound app from play installed and I get a notification sound when plugging and unplugging. First try there was no sound when changing from charging to mtp. Ok after repeating it. Hope that helps.
Just as a follow up I got my win10 pc to recognize my O flashed nexus. I booted into bootloader after I had updated my sdk and drivers through android studio. It recognized the phone but nothing was happening. I rebooted into the os and the access allow prompt popped up on the phone and adb was able to see it under listed devices.
So i flashed the stock recovery and reboot. After that it wont turn on anymore.
Try to jumpstart the battery: Nope
Try to get into recovery: Nope
But my computer still recognize the Nexus as an unknown device name "APX". I cant find any driver for it. Its dead like this for about a month.
Please help!
Edit: Thanks to @Jirmd, my device is unbricked now.

Are you able to get to fastboot/bootloader? You can also use WugFresh Toolkit to flash the correct drivers and the full stock ROM.
