N4 only works when charging. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried to install a custom ROM on my old N4 via Toolkit but got a bootloop on the Nitrogen logo. Right after the screen the phone would turn off. So, i rolled back to stock rom, unrooted and everything but now it seems the problem its even worse: the boot doesnt go past the Google logo. When the phone is charging i can access the recovery and even boot into Android. Off the charge it looks like i cant do nothing other than go to fastboot. If i choose the recovery option the phone turn itself off. I tried to install other ROM via TWRP when charging, but right after 2 seconds after the process begins, the phone turns off.
I think it may be a battery problem, but i wanna make sure it is so i dont waste money.
Thanks

hi buddy, problem is also happend to me, unfortunatly its not a software issue , its a battery problem, and its only fix with changing battery or you could turn on airplane mode (to turn off radio and only in custom rom) and keep using the phone offline.

Hello friends, I have a similar problem with my nexus 4.
I can use the device well if it is connected to a USB or plug. (If the device isn't connected, this turns off). But I can use TWRP without problems (works without connect to a USB or plug), I can install ROMS until finish, but when I want to start the system, only stuck on Google Logo and the device turns off (I tried to start the device but just stuck in Google Logo and turns off again) But if it is connected to a USB or plug works well without problems.
I tried to install all STOCK roms too but only work well when the device is connected. I think that isn't a battery problem because I can use TWRP (without connect to a usb or plug) and install every rom.:crying:
Someone would like to help me. Thanks a lot.

i told just above your post,that is a battery problem and only fixes with changing battery, the reason you can use twrp is that the voltage needed for boot phone in recovery mode is less than for booting the whole system with apps and radio functions

Samsung Galaxy J5 starts to go green after Smart Switch PC update.

I installed the 6.0 Marshallow Update on my Samsung Galaxy J5 Smartphone from Smart Switch on my PC. At first everything was OK. I plugged it, and it started downloading. Nothing unusual. When it ended, it said that the phone is restarting, so I should unplug it and plug it again, to see if it worked. The first unusual thing was that the phone didn't restart. It was just turned off. And I passed that because I thought I misread. So I unplug the phone from the PC and try to power it on. This is when the REAL weird stuff comes. At first, the "Samsung Galaxy J5 Powered by Android" logo shows up. Nothing special. Then a yellow-blue line shows up below the logo. I don't give it enough attention. After that, the screen starts to go green. Slowly turning green. . .The logo didn't disappear. My first reaction was to remove the battery, wait 10 seconds and put it back. I now try to charge it, to see if it happens again. AGAIN THE SAME! The yellow-blue line shows up, the screen starts to slowly turn green. I then wait to see what happens. The screen goes green. Completly. The screen needed a few more seconds to turn COMPLETLY GREEN. But I was soooo scared I took the battery and the charger off. I put it back up but this time, I wanted to go to recovery mode, so I can simply click "Reboot Phone". I couldn't. There was nothing I can do. I now have the phone without the battery and I want to know what is happening and how to fix it. I am really scared so I need help ASAP!

Hello!
I think you flashed other firmware than your phone model. Thats how it happened on my J500FN when i tried 6.0.1 firmware from J500F since J500FN didnt have official update.
Download a firmware for your phone model, 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 and flash through ODIN, then the problem should be gone.
This happened on my phone when I put 6.1 on via odin but then I simply tried a different recovery and the recovery was the problem
John
Anyone know how to fix this problem? I cant use odin because it wont let me go to recovery or download mode
This is happening to my phone with the exact same situation, but now I can't seem to connect to the pc with the cable - what should I do?

It happen because you use latest odin. flash again using odin 3.07 and see how it goes. It fixed mine. Had to double flash. First flash was giving me green screen. It won even pass the bootloader. Then enter download mode and reflash it using odin 3.07, it works like a charm now.

It's happen when you flash ur custom rom (only for bootloader lollipop) using bootloader marsmallow. The solution is ur phone must be support the requirements of ur custom rom.

P8 Lite Kirin Single SIM stuck at bootlogo, can't enter bootloader or recovery...

Hi guys,
Was trying to remove the branded rom that came with the phone, neither method of updating worked so i flashed via fastboot the boot, recovery, cust and system images, everything ok the first time, afterwards i tried a different rom and the phone got stuck at the bootlogo, coudn't turn it off, do nothing, left it and i went to sleep, of course the battery died.
Now the phone led is always blinking red no matter how much time i leave charging or connected to pc and can't enter fastboot mode or recovery or update 3 buttons..?
Any ideas? Is it completly dead?
PS: Later was able to turn it off and now it turned itself on (because its connected to charger) and the led isn't blinking anymore, still stuck on bootlogo and nothing happens...

Hi,you can try what i post here it might work
If you cannot get into fastboot or recovery, try connect it via USB to a PC, then hold volume + power up, release power up when it turns on but keep holding vol up.

Already tried every sinlge thing/combination, can't get past the boot logo, or seem to charge up the phone, red led always blinking.
Will try to open phone tomorrow disconnect the battery and connect again and try to enter bootloader to flash the 4 .img and get back in business.
Hey! It seems like that you hard bricked your device! Is your P8Lite still under warrenty? Rooting IS allowed in the Huawei warrenty! If you dont have warrenty, Ask some proffesionals.
Have a nice day!
P.S: Im living in Germany. Thats why my english is so bad.

device bootlooping and showing unusual behaviour

I am having a strange issue in my a6020a46(k5 plus). The first time i installed pixel rom from xda) the system booted up fine then after using for few hours i installed bean Gapps(mini version) but play store was unstable. It was never able to sign me up so i again fully removed everything for clean installation (dalvik/cache,data,system,cache). After installing OS i installed wifi+kernel fix and again bean Gapps which strangely didnt got installed unlike first time. Then problem began. When i rebooted it got struck into bootloop. I waited for 1 hrs but nothing happened. Then phone was not even going into recovery no matter what key combination i tried. It only got struck in penguine icon which kept restarting again and again. After many many attemps I was able to get it into recovery mode by pressing vol+,- and power button after immediately pluging it into charger. I again tried to install pixel but same problem occured. Then I tried installing other ROMs and it boots up but same pengiune icon is present there. I am not able to get rid of that icon nor able to boot up my phone with pixel OS. One more strange thing is happening and that is when phone is completely off and plugged into PC there is sound that notifies that ext device is connected and penguine icon comes in screen but when i power on my mobile then disconnecting sound comes and it never connects again untill i completely turn off my mobile and plug in USB. So summerising it here-
1) Pixel OS (no gapps+wifi,kernel fix) installed on 1st attempt
2)open gapps are not compatible so installed bean gapps mini version but play store was unstable+not able to sign in
3)did clean install but beanGapps didnt installed,errors were present. Installed wifi+kernel fix(by mistake did it twice). Booted and it got into bootloop
4)when device is off and connect via usb penguin icon pops up and sound of device connected play. when i switch on device usb disconnected sound plays and never connects again untill mobile is completely switched off again
5)installing other roms didnt removed penguin icon. other roms get installed but when tried to go in recovery mode it get struck into pengin icon(doesnt proceed until turned off and hold power and vol+,- button and immediately connected to power supply)
6neither pixel OS nor beangapps are able to get installed again. Bootloop (gapps ending with error 1)
I hope i can find answers soon. Thanks

Redmi 2 doesnt turn on until and unless it is connected to a charger.

Hey Guys,
My phone gets stuck in a bootloop if I don't use a charger while turning it on. Actually, doesn't even get past the splash screen and reboots every 1 to 2 seconds. I also need to connect it to the charger to access TWRP. Normally, when I disconnect the charger after the phone has turned on, the phone suddenly turns off. But when I do the same when I'm in TWRP, nothing happens and I can continue using it without any problems. I'll put the logs if you neeed. And yes, I don't need the charger to get into fastboot mode. I'm currently on lineage 15.1 unofficial but the problem persists over other roms too. Please help...
Change the battery
It's the battery , which is under performing with the voltage needed to run the rom process,
That's why you are able to use with charger and got bootloop without charger. In twrp or any recovery mode most of the hardware is disabled and does not need much power.
Telling you with personal experiences

LG G2 D802 No recovery/ No Donwload Mode/ No Fastboot

Hi Guys,
I got my G2 back from my brother who have not using it for a while.
1st day it was working. I plan to install Lineage or custom ROM today...thats when the issue start:
1: it wont go to recovery mode. Even thou I have rooted and install latest TWRP it will only boot to Hardware control key screen, only this screen and wont boot to the OS it will be stuck on LG logo forever....
2: tried to go to Download mode....the same It will go to the same hardware control key only....
3: when I plug in to my PC it wont turn off, keep on restarting after I press the power button for a while.... only if no cable connected I can totally turn it off...
For a noob like me....looks like my G2 D802 is brick :crying: ...any suggestion?
PS: windows detect it( As below picture ), off at all when I plug in AC.....It Will just show the LG logo and the LED just flashing non stop until I pull out the cable and turn it off...
This is what shown on the laptop No Disk1/2/3/4/5 of sort showing on the Device Manager and on the phone each time I try to go recovery or download mode belowh happen:
https://flic.kr/p/QH2HzE
https://flic.kr/p/2bs67ne
Update 1: I found out why the phone was brick. Seems like my Brother ask his friend to install Lineage 15.1 on the it. After everything is verified ok. He wipe and try to flash the rom in TWRP but.....it failed and suddenly just freeze and turn off the screen. Maybe bad ROM download or some step miss....so now the Phone has NO OS and would not boot to anything only the Hardware Key Management....that's all....help? Need the phone as 2nd phone for company lines....dont wanna take the iPhone 6 from my boss....
help?
