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.

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???

Hello
Phone totally dead, not even charging anymore. Google sending replacement
Hey guys, I know this is the 1000th time you've seen this thread. However, I might be a little different.
I've read all the red blinking threads before posting this one.
ROM: CM10 Stable Snapshot
Kernel: Franco r53
Okay, yesterday as I was downloading and I opened a game, my phone screen just turned off completely. I'm assuming it was due to overheating as the phone was getting pretty hot.
So I assumed it died, no big deal. I tried to boot up using power button, no luck.
Then I panicked and started searching XDA for all these red blinking LED of doom threads.
I managed to get the phone to boot up to the Google screen by having it on a wall charger + hold the power button for 10 seconds. But then it just shuts down. I managed to make it stick with bootloader, but only on the wall charger, which isn't much help. On a USB connection with my computer, I'm not able to even open boot loader as it would just open and turn off the phone within a few seconds.
Threw it on the charger over night, no luck.
This morning, nothing has changed.
So what's weird about my situation is, I can get it into fast boot, but only when it's on a wall charger, nothing else. And getting it to Google logo for a few seconds.
Edit: I can't RMA, because when it boots to Google logo, it says bootloader is unlocked (the little icon). And I also bought the phone off Swappa, so it's not attached to my account (is it even possible to claim warranty?)
Interesting this sounds like a hardware problem all right. Simply because you said it works on the mains charger which has an output of 1.2a were as the USB to PC chargers phone at rate of 400ma. I would try getting a replacement if you can. Also are you able to boot into recovery through boot loader if so you could try wiping everything or restoring from back up.
Okay, something weird. I tried a different method of getting into fastboot, and it worked (connected to PC).
Hold volume - (DOWN) by itself WHILE plugging in the USB cable. And now I'm in fastboot. Now I'm just trying to find a way to erase cache via toolkit x)
Edit: Weird, toolkit picks up the ADB device but manual adb doesn't using adb devices command.
I've read another user who fixed this by removing the back, then disconnecting and reconnecting the battery connector. Sorry I can't find the post but I'm sure it was in one of the I bricked my phone threads.
Yeah, I saw that, too. But I don't have the equipments for it, unfortunately
ADB won't recognize my nexus 4.
Toolkit will (so I know that toolkit is installed properly). I tried opening a command prompt through toolkit and I couldn't run anything.
Any suggestions?

Adb won't work from bootloader, you should have fastboot access though
I'm in fastboot now.
I cannot get into recovery =[ When I select recovery, it would just turn off the phone and the blinking lights begins again.
Try charging overnight with other charger, not stock
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Just tried with a nonstock charger. It blinked red. Then the battery charging screen popped up (first time ever). And now it's dead blinking red again.
Hopefully I'll see results overnight.

That's a good sign! Sounds like it was in some serious deep hibernation! The fact that the battery icon popped up shows u didn't brick it or anything, its just really really dead! However when I had my problem, I had just a red light on all the time, it never blinked
Sent from my Google Nexus 4
Mine is constantly blinking. :'(
And it's probably not dead because I did manage to get it into fastboot. And I got adb to pick up using fast boot.
Every after reflashing recovery, I can't get into anything other than fastboot. When I try to select "Recovery" from the fastboot menu, it just turns off and continues to blink ;[
if you can get it into fastboot while plugged in your pc, scroll down in fastboot to the "power off" option. leave it there to charge up for a bit. you can check if its charging by using adb
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
hopefully it comes back to life after you charge it a bit. After it charges I would flash stock images just to be safe.

Okay, trying that now. It's been on the charger all night.
How does one ADB with the phone "powered off"?
So if the phone died because of heat, didn't it throttle properly? How is this possible?
Why don't you reflash stock images through fast boot? I don't understand why the need to be in recovery?

I thought I had to factory reset it first inorder to flash factory image? (Coming from CM and Franco) At least that's how I always done it or it'd get stuck in a boot loop on my old phone.
But it is my last resort as well, because I have some precious data on this phone x)
Oh and Google pulled factory images, do you knows know where I can get a copy of one?

I've not flashed stock before for this phone. And I'm afraid it might be different.
So question noob question.... Do I flash the booterloader and radios too? I've read that it's pretty dangerous to flash those.
I'm following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Any instructions I should do differently?
EDIT: I just flashed stock, nothing happened. Still could only get to fastboot. I am now losing hope.

IF ur going to rma it don't forget to lock the bootloader :angel:
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

I think he's german.. akku means battery.
The current state of my tablet is quite curious: Its stuck on Google logo and it will be this way until the battery completely drains.
What I've tried:
- Holding the Power button shuts it down for 1 second...then it boots right back up by itself.
- Recovery (POWER+VOL DOWN) doesnt work, it goes straight to Google screen.
- Connecting via USB to the computer, Windows doesnt recognize the device.
In fact, the only way I found to Turn the Tablet off is popping the back cover and unplugging the battery cable. I've left it unplugged at night, hoping it would clear some sort of Cache, didnt work. Also I've tried unplugging the battery cable, plugging it back and Turning it on with POWER+VOL DOWN in hopes of acessing recovery but it goes straight to Google screen.
Additional Info:
- This happened while I was trying to downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4.4.
- My device is the LTE version of N7 2012
- My device is currently rooted.
@RavenEffect hold down the power button for at least 20 seconds to turn it off, 1 second is not enough
How did you try to downgrade? Probably flashing went wrong? In worst cases the bootloader was erased during downgrade ... in that case ther will be no hope.

1 second is the ammount of time the tablet remains off, not the ammount of time i've pressed it. Yes, I've held it 20 seconds obviously.

Followed this guide right here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz6x7k-VkpUJU09paVM5cmh2Xzg/view
All the steps worked until the fastboot flash boot .\boot.img command. Sometimes it would get stuck on the command prompt and the tablet was frozen in Recovery Mode. I had to close the command Prompt, reboot the tablet into recovery again and Flashing another thing first, like recovery and system and THEN i would flash the boot.img.
So theres no hope?

Yeah, of course, but there is one problem. I can't boot into recovery mode, the bootloader got destroyed. So the only thing I have is either google logo with padlock on the bottom or nothing with APX mode. So no ADB, no FASTBOOT.

I know for mediatek, there is smartphoneflashtool, which flashes to the device when it's turned off. I don't know if there is an equivalent that you can use.
I don't think NRT does it, so you might be screwed.
There is nvflash ... but only if you have backed up *your* individual device images before you need them. So if your device is already bricked there is no chance ...

Problem is that, when you plug the Tablet to the PC via USB, it doesnt recognize the device, like I've stated on the original post, so I cant even get to a step where I can flash any sort of file.
Well, if I think about it, only the bootloader got destroyed. The image is free on google sites. I just have to put the bootloader image into the tablet so I can get to the bootloader and flash everything else with fastboot. There has to be way to do that. I mean if the "BIOS" (screen with google logo) got destroyed, that is bad, but it is just matter of damage on free to share universal loader. There has to be way...
