Nexus 4 wont start - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
The device was working nicely until a month ago. Then suddenly, it stopped turning on.
Since yesterday, I've tried the methods suggested on http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/312151-solved-nexus-4-won-t-turn-charge.html, but that has not solved the problem. Only that now, the google screen and then the cross screen comes up, but then nothing. It stays that way forever.
I tried using Odin to connect, then nexus root toolkit, but both donot connect to the device.
Please help.
thanks

You should see if you can do a factory reset. Hold volume down and turn the phone on, it should go into bootloader mode. From there choose recovery mode with the volume keys. Once you're at a screen saying 'no command' hold volume up and tap the power button, then select factory reset.

No, it doesnt go into the bootloader mode at all.

My Nexus 4 is on and in the boot animation. It's been in this animation for about 30 minutes now and I don't know what's wrong with it. I cleared the Cache and did a factory reset. Other then that it seems to work fine. Running Lollipop.

Anyone?

no factory reset menu

Hello
Thanks for that. Today, I could get into the bootloader mode, and went into recovery mode. The screen showed the droid with an exclamation mark. I tried the volume up button and the powerbutton tap, but nothing happened. So I stopped pressing the volume button and tapped the power button, and the phone is stuck on the cross screen again.:crying:

It's actually as follows to get into recovery.
- Press and hold Volume Up and Volume Down
- Press and hold the power button until you reach the boot-loader
- Use volume keys to select 'Recovery Mode'
- Press and hold Power button for about 2 seconds and then tap the Volume UP button
- Continue through your Recovery Options as normal
* Also, I think pressing and holding power button powers the device off.
Correct me if I'm wrong and good luck!

I think I see the problem...It happened to me once, too. I just kept retrying and it eventually worked. I'm not sure exactly, but try doing the following commands;
- Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down keys
- Press and hold the Power button
- Release the Volume key
*And once again, good luck! | If all else fails, try pulling the battery and leaving it unplugged for a few minutes.

Wait.. Are you in the Boot-loader and trying the Recovery commands and that pops up, or are you trying to get into the Boot-loader. *Sorry for the confusion, my fault.

well, i listed my steps above. that is what i followed, and now the phone is working ok. it is still charging.

Help me plz .... I'm confused ...
That ain't no brick. You're in the recovery console. You have to hit a buton combination to get out of it.
Press one of the volume keys together with the power on button (red phone). I think it was those. Could be another combo though.
Still not working sir I used vol down + power not happend anything, when vol up + power my tattoo start blank screen and green led indicator only ...
Hy!
I can (very cheap) buy a HTC Tattoo which is broken.
The problem is (seller says) : When he try to turn on HTC Tattoo its just vibrating.
Can anyone say me is it hardware or software problem?
(Sorry for my bad english I am from Croatia.)
Hi, the easiest option is to remove the battery n replace it, then turn the phone on. The other option is to keep pressing the buttons home and call end, together.

Hi, is the display working? Well, there might be many defects in the phone or might not be... its like a gamble, you can buy the phone and get it repaired, it might cost you a lot. The call is yours.

I'dont know is display working.
But it seems to me like a software problem.
Is there a hard reset or turning Tattoo in DFU mode (something like that) for flashing?
Thank you for answering.

help... mine is like that too.. now i can't make goldcard:
F:\tatoo\tools>adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
when i try to run RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
i get ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
I've downloaded (recovery-RA-tattoo-v1.6.2.img) but i don't know how to flash it...
If you cant get your adbd on the phone working, you could try to go over jtag to get a shell. But first download the android sdk from google and try the adb in there.
little development....
I managed to get these options(see attachment) pressing HOME+END after boot, but i can't select any options...
I tried to press every button and i can't enable the selection or move up/down the selection...
Some help here please...

Sorry for the late response, you can go to the boot screen by pressing the home button and end button together... This method will only work if the phone is rooted. Else, create a Gold card and get into the fast boot mode by pressing vol down and end button simultaneously lemme know if it worked.

Madaleno, looking at the attachment it shows that your phone is not rooted, which means that you cant apply update via SD card.. it will give u an error message. Create a gold card by grabbing a smart phone from someone, it can be windows mobile or android based.... Once a gold card is created, you can flash a stock ROM. To navigate on the menu, based on ur attachment, use volume up and down keys and call button to select.
If it is not rooted maybe you still have warranty for the phone so you can send it to free service.
Well... no warranty...
And volume up/down does nothing...

You don't need your tattoo to make a gold card.
Ask someone with a Android device, and put you sd card and do it.
Cheers
Got GOLD!
I've used a symbian to read CID and created a goldcard
Can someone give me some guidelines what to do next?
With your phone turned off, press power + volume down buttons at the same time.
Then wait a litle and press back until appears "FASTBOOT" in the screen.
Then connect the usb cable and flash the stock ROM.

You don't keep back pressed.

NEXUS 4 stuck during booting X screen? now what? (unrooted+stock)

So today i discovered that my month old Nexus 4 did not want to boot again.
Last night the phone was off, so i assumed the battery was dead, after putting it in the charger and asking it to boot i went to sleep.
when i woke up i was still looking at the multicoloured pulsating X.
since then it keeps getting stuck at the X screen, powering it down will make the phone power up again for no reason.
The phone was running a OTA version of 4.2.2
When powering it on with ON & vol - I get the boot menu, though navigating to the recovery mode resulted in a "No command." line with a red triangle on a android.
Currently i have no experience with either rooting/flashing, neither am i aware if this is the only option to fix this semi bricked phone.
How would i best go about fixing this issue?
Thanks.

Try to get in bootloader mode then go to recovery and wipe cache /do a data factory reset and reboot.
Okay. Get back into recovery by holding Vol-/pow.
Then scroll to recovery.
When in recovery reveal the menu by pressing vol+/pow
Once there wipe data and reset cache.

Tried that at the recovery screen but nothing responded.
also tried vol+- and +- and vol- no response from any combinations.
ah i got it to appear, it turns out that pressing the power button first instead of the volume button was an issue...
also if i do the wipedata+reset will i lose all 16 gb's of onboard storage?
and would there be a way to write/backup that data before doing so?
Here is googles support page for reset: http://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2936226
follow these steps:
If your phone is on, power it off.
Press and hold Volume Down, and then press Power until the device turns on (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your phone becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.
hepatiit i got that to work, though what i am wondering is, will this erase all 16GB's of onboard data?

Yes.
Would there be a way to backup all data over USB, from the recovery menu?
I have my photos and agenda automatically backed up, but im not sure about my contacts or installed apps.

Contacts are backed up to the google servers. (can check them through GMail). Apps are also backed up to play.google.com... Note, sometimes the data isn't backed up though. Just what you've installed.
I believe a factory reset will NOT erase SDCard though. I could be wrong.
I'd say your out of luck on getting the data off. You can through recovery and ADB I think. I tried searching for the commands but I couldn't find them.

ahw shucks, the Nexus doesnt have any extended storage, it just has 16GB onboard storage, though im not sure if that is somehow a seperate entity or joined in, i looked into ADB but it requires you to have usb debugging set in advance from android.
aaaaaand now i get to also replay all the games since those savegames are gone too.... good times...
And then my phone got bricked....
after it completed the wipe i inserted the SIM card (it was in another phone)
after that the phone turned off, but now it wont respond to the power button....
now what.....
After applying some USB (charger) power and holding the on switch for a long time it finally woke up.
Now i have a blanco phone again.
Thanks for the support anyways
I had the same exact issue with my Nexus 4. When I flashed the stock image it got stuck on the X. I flashed a custom recovery and erased chase and data and it worked just fine.
I'm not sure why this is "necessary" step now when I didn't have to do do this with my Gnex but oh well.

Hi.

but have you installed CWM? then you should try pressing POWER + Vol+, after appearing LG-Logo release and immediately press both again. Then you´re in hard reset mode, press POWER 2x to enter CWM (or if not installed hard reset your device).
Or you try flashing back to stock ROM as described here:

I bricked my d801 and this method worked for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370&highlight=unbrick. I was stuck on the LG logo as well with the LED flashing. Not sure if it will work for yours, but can't hurt to give it a shot.
Try powering off without pulling the battery. The way to do that is to hold volume down + power and hold it for about 10-15 seconds after the logo disappears. The logo may reappear but keep holding the buttons down and the screen should go blank pretty quickly. Make sure you have the updated drivers installed on your computer. Then follow the instructions in that post. Make sure you go to the Options menu and select upgrade recovery. Good luck!
As for reading Korean, use the photo recognition function in Google Translate. It does a decent job.

2- flshed recovery with odin successfully
Odin showed PASS : Yes
3- unplug usb cable and turn of phone
4- volume up + home + power hold

You're welcome. No, kernel doesnt delete anything except old kernel's documents.

Phone can't boot into recovery mode, unresponsive, help

The phone is stock android, no custom anything, unrooted.
My phone froze last night while opening an app; I tried to do a hard reset on it and since then it is stuck on this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The screen doesn't turn off, the phone responds to volume down+power button only, it turns itself off briefly, vibrates and then it is stuck on that screen again.
I tried plugging it in, pressing volume down+power button, and when it is plugged in it shows this:
I let the battery drain over night - it was completely dead this morning, when I plugged it in it just showed the battery screen. Did volume down+power again, and the same thing keeps happening - if it is connected to a charger it displays the battery icon, if it is not connected to a charger it displays the Galaxy s7 Edge logo.
There is no indication that the phone is charging, however; after the battery drained completely and I plugged it in this morning, when I disconnected the charger, the phone stayed on, so it is receiving juice.
I tried every combination of buttons that is possible, I also tried cleaning the connection port and using a different charger, as well as plugging it into my laptop. Nothing worked. Currently I'm letting it charge fully, to see if that might help.
Also - the phone's motherboard was replaced less then a month ago, so I doubt that it is the problem. If anyone has had a similar issue, and managed to resolve it, please help!
Edit: I left it charging for about 30 minutes, it still can't turn on, but the phone did warm up considerably.
Don't Panic Yet.
1. Download the latest firmware from sammobile.com or other sites.
2. Download ODIN
3. Press vol up + vol down + power + home for 8 second
4. When you see the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge screen, release the power and vol up button. Continue holding vol down + home button. This will lead you to the download screen.
5. Now connect your phone through odin and flash the downloaded firmware. Make sure you selected correct files for bl + ap + cp + csc.
Hopefully this will restore the official firmware. If not, you can try with Kies Emergency recovery. Knox will still remain 0x0

Thank you for the response. The problem is that the phone will not go into the download screen - after I release the volume up and power button, it does not move from the Edge logo screen. When I did that while the phone was connected to the charger, the screen only showed the battery icon.

Download mode is actually volume down + menu button + power button... Keep holding this even of battery icon is showing while charging. Keep on holding it, it will eventually enter download mode. Then u need press volume up to accept the prompt about download mode..
