I have managed to flash in flashmode the recovery file and other that was mention in other post successfully on windows 8
did Fastboot Reboot and phone rebotted to android bot with progress green bar under him then went to lit black screen with green strobe light that lights up and dims out .
I can use power plus volume down and then press power twice but this just shows android bot and goes to black screen again

I can not access recovery at all and don't seem to get back into fastboot mode.
any help would be great been stuck for days .
don't want to take it into the shop to be fixed if I can do it for free.
anybody got any good ideas would be great . I am new to all this and some times don't understand certain things .
Hello people,
I have a German Nexus 4 and it gets stuck in bootloop whenever I turn the power on.
I've had issues with the phone since the last few months - i.e. random reboots, random program crashes.
But recently I tried to root it in order to install the Android L developer preview. It was during the booting process, when my Nexus crashed and it has been unable to boot ever since.
When I push all three buttons (power + 2 volume rocker buttons) simultaneously, I get the fastboot screen.
Choosing the following options has these effects:
Start --> phone tries to boot but gets stuck in bootloop forever and ever
Restart bootloader --> restarts the fastboot screen
Recovery mode --> phone shows the robot with an opened belly and a red warning sign (see photograph)*
Power Off --> turns the power off
Also, it is NOT detected or recognized by my Macbook when I connect the Nexus via USB cable. So it's impossible for me to access the phone via my Macbook.
*This is the screen shown when I try to go into Recovery mode in fastboot:
[can't upload outside link to image]
So this leaves me with no options as I never get further than the 4 turning circles forever and ever.
Is my Nexus 4 broken or is there still a chance to unbrick it? (I have a MacBook, so Windows programs won't work for me)
Of course it's not possible to recognize it when OS is not running.
Download WugFresh toolkit, ADB drivers (Universal) and the factory image. Enter fastboot, connect USB and flash the image
Your phone is not hardbricked, because it boots into the bootloader.
It might be recovered if you can access it with fastboot.
Try uninstalling all related drivers and install the Naked Universal Driver.
Thanks for your replies!
Unfortunately, the programs you mentionned don't work on my Mac (they seem to be Windows-only).
Also, how can I install stuff on my Nexus? Since it is not recognized by my MacBook, I can't load any files onto my Nexus.
And since any command on the fastboot screen only leads to the phone powered off, restart of the fastboot screen or the mentionned bootloop, I cannot perform any actions on the Nexus ...
Go to a friend with Windows.
Problem solved!
Somehow after the 1000th bootloop I finally reached the screen where I could wipe the phone.
And then it finally booted! Now all the data are lost and it's like a new phone, but at least it's working again!
How long was the boot loop? Was it the new boot animation from L?
Because when you flash L, the first boot up may take up to 15 minutes, leading you into thinking it's a boot loop.
I might have bricked my LG G2.
Here is everything I did:
-I rooted the phone with the IO root kit
-wanted to installed a recovery so I installed TWRP manager
-applied SD card patch
-tried to install recovery with TWRP manager several times but app always crashed
-installed SDK on the PC
-started adb and executed "adb reboot bootloader"
the phone got a backlight screen and hasnt been reacting so far.
When I held the power button the screen went black but sometimes the backlight appeard again. I don't know how to reproduce the backlight though.
adb can't detect the phone when connected to the PC.
As soon as I plug it in dozens of Partitions show up. Windows show an error message for each of these partitions. It says I have to format the volumes to use them.
After testing I realized that everytime i long-press the power button for a few seconds the windows errors start popping up.
When i long pressed the power button for 30+ seconds to completely shut it down the notification LED started blinking red 8 times in roughly second intervals. then there was a short break and the 8 blinks repeated.
Thank you for all help, it would suck to have a 1 day old phone broke...
You probably chose the wrong device in TWRP Manager. Choosing the wrong device can easily lead to a brick because TWRP Manager may attempt to flash to the wrong partition. The G2 does not have a TWRP Manager flash available due to loki, so you couldn't have chosen the right device.
Almost have the same problem... the only difference is my black screen is blinking continuously while it is connected to the mac... Seems like it tries to boot but gets blocked and retries in a loop. Tried around now for two evenings without any progress...
Anybody who can help?
I can't boot my LG G2 since I attempted to install Cyanogenmod 13 to it. It is not a "Security Error" that I can fix by flashing to stock rom. When I press and hold the power button it usually shows nothing, but sometimes it shows the logo for half of a second and goes black. I can't acces download mode or recovery, and when I tried to connect it to my pc, it opened dozens of driver(like C:\, D:\) errors, so I plugged it out and all of them gave error by saying can't open, parameter error, format the disk etc. I really need urgent help!
By the way I had downloaded opengapps and cyanogen mod 13 when I was able to access twrp.
I should add this: it continues working there is a shining black screen all the time. If I try booting it when it is out of charge, would it work?
P.S: When I connect it to a PC this shining black screen is winking.
My phone just rebooted by itself and into a samsung loading screen bootloop. So tried download mode and restart but nothing. Try recovery mode and nothing and now its stuck on the bloody no command blue screen. It doesn't connect to laptop either.
Dont know what to do. Was working fine then boom.
