Situation Update

Ok, walked away from phone for an hour (to be more precise, I drove home from work) and now the phone booted with 1% battery life, and a really quick recharge. My best guess as to what caused this is the phones battery is problematic (in some way) but we all already kind of knew that... and it reset in the middle of the nandroid backup (in my case) it seems to be working fine now. I will post one more update tomorrow if everything goes back to 100%. (No need to RMA, just leave your device plugged in to charge without fiddling with it at all in fastboot or recovery, and it should turn back on).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miku3191:
Yeah ! You are ****** ! Lol

yeah you hard bricked man ! try reflashing the stock ROM and KERNEL images again ! :) ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipero07:
Late night update

Just to let you guys know its at 100% again. It looks like either a battery problem, or a problem regarding fastboot not charging the phone, or causing problems in reading the battery life. Either way the phone seems to be at 100% functionality again. So to let everyone on XDA know, since a fix hasn't been fully discovered, to the best of my knowledge, even though I was doing the nandroid update at approximately 80% battery life, the phone doesn't report correct battery all the time. As such if is actually still functional if you leave it off for a bit an charge it up a bit.

Will check back in another couple hours to make sure this is 100% accurate. But seems like the phone doesn't charge under fastboot, and reports false %, causing the "red reboot of death". So if you experience a similar problem (and I assume you have since you are reading this) just plug the phone in to charge and after an hour or so try turning it on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lupick:
I had the same issue, no way to recover.

fastboot can not read voltage of te battery
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliot.newnham:
Wow, good job at saving it!

If you didn't overclock it and/or overvolt then by all means RMA the device. The concern was about guys overclocking to 1.86Ghz then complaining to Google when it broke.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abnormalreply:
Glad you got it working! Unfortunately, this was the part that I couldn't get past. Even when I left it on the charger for 30 mins, it would flash red the whole time like it wasn't charging. While I was waiting for my replacement to come, I'd take the broken one out of the box every day or so and tried again to no avail. When all of the issues started, it was fully charged by the way. Not sure how it could've spontaneously discharged.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipero07:
Aye, mine too was fully charged (though while doing nandroid, and plugged into the computer). My thoughts are it may be an actual battery problem... mine seems to discharge super fast, though I have been fooling around with XBMC for android, which I'm sure is dipping into its speed of discharge. Well... a year warranty if it happens again I'll be sure to RMA. Too bad this didn't work for you, I am still hoping its not a hardware issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Impulse33:
Somehow the defect worked itself out. Kept it plugged in the computer overnight and instead of registering a 0% with the charging notification and the batter never actually charging, it finally kicked in and started charging the battery i guess. It was ok for a whole day.

Then tonight i replicated the bug in accident. It happened again while it was charging off the computer while tethering. I was playing a game again and apparently i was drawing more power than the usb was charging and the phone shut off. Which actually caused the problem the first time. Instead of the normal shut off where it gives you a notification, it simply abruptly died. The flashing red led came back.

I managed to power it on again through usb and it was still at 0% after 15 min. I then unplugged it testing if the battery was functional at all, and to make sure it wasn't incorrectly reporting battery levels. Whilst it was shutting off I replugged it quickly and the phone didn't like that at all. It no longer received a charge from the usb or had the flashing red led. I figured I was **** out of luck. I was keeping an eye on it for about 15 min then the battery charging icon starting flashing out of nowhere (it wasn't charging off anything) and i quickly plugged it into the ac charger and the battery seems to be charging fine again.

From this, i can only guess there's some problem with the phone's connection to the battery and it randomly feels like working whenever it wants to.

*note: don't let the phone discharge completely while plugged in.

My phone had the issue since Christmas Eve. I cannot power it on since then.

I just realize there are other folks facing the same problems. I definitely have to unroot it and lock it before RMA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abnormalreply:
Be sure to re–lock the bootloader.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brom25:
if i can't even go to bootloader mode, how can I relock it?

I just sent it like this, we'll see how it goes
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraschorsch:
I think I have a USB brick. My device boots normally but I can not see it in the explorer as mtp device. I started the N4 in fastboot mode but it still is not recognized properly. Looking into the device manager on my laptop tells me that there's a unknown device and trying to re-install the naked drivers just tells me that the drivers are already installed. When I look into the unknown devices properties it tells me that the device stopped working properly so it stopped. (code 43). Coming from a HTC Desire this tells me that my N4 is USB bricked. Any thoughts or hints on that?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abnormalreply:
– Uninstall the drivers then re–install.

– try different USB cables

– try a different computer

It's quite common for a phone to not play nicely with the computer. Usually, one of these things will fix it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pa.pn2:
had the same **** last week

just unlocked,rooted, flashed cwm and xylon with trinity kernel

underclocked to 1,35 mhz, no benching or anything

all was fine

putted it into my pocket, after an hour i used to unlock the screen, bammmm nothing anymore

phone was dead

none of the tips to get into bootloader or anything worked for me

i really think there might be something with the hardware, i dunno...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanh1289:
why blame the hardware when you change it's software from what Google engineer determined is best for the phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma678:
Because that was why Nexus was designed for.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I wish I could remove the battery physically.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abnormalreply:
I don't think that would be much help in having your computer detect the phone. You can hold the power button down for a few seconds and that pretty much causes a hard power off, essentially the same thing as pulling the battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abnormalreply:
Most people with the same problem were able to get into the bootloader if you time it right while you're plugged in. The warranty says an unlocked bootloader - may- void the warranty, but I think it should be fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanh1289:
If you think the Nexus is supposed to be designed as a unbrickable phone, you're a bit naive.. If so, Google wouldnt state that you will void your warranty if your bootloader is unlocked, etc.. etc.. The Nexus 4 is developer friendly but that doesn't mean slap any beta ROM and kernel on it and expect it to run flawlessly. If the hardware doesn't like the software you put on it, it will not run.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risktaker84:
I haven't read the thread yet, but I am on the same boat as the OP. Gonna read the full thread now.

FML

Edit: Read the whole thread and I am in the same boat. Rooted with Unlock Bootloader obviously and tried to Flash Faux Kernel through CWR (I am

not

blaming the Kernel, this is my fault) but now the darn thing doesn't move past the Red light or the Google Screen.

I have tried all combinations of holding down the power and Volume keys but it still doesn't let me get into fastboot. Arghhh so frustrating.

I am going try to do what "vipero07" said about leaving the device plugged in to the computer and go from there. All I need is to get into fastboot and the rest I can handle.

n00b or not this hurts bad.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma678:
I have tried all combinations and I still cannot power on my screen. The only thing I see is the flashing red led occasionally.

same here ! ... although i can get into fastboot mode... i can see the bootloader ... i can access the DOWNLOAD MODE !!! :eek: !!! but i dont know why it is not booting up ! .... yesterday night i gave it a full charge ! then too ! nothing ... only Red light blinks continuously
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
How about you Flash the ROM again.. and see what happens
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
if you can get to fastboot mode all is well. just flash a recovery and from there a rom. i think theres something fishy going on, i had the same problem using the toolkit. i ended up flashing cwm temporary, then install the rom, then booting up and installing TWRP recovery via goomanager from gplay. i never had these problems on any other nexus before. harmless though, as long as fastboot is there, no sweat.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
'beta' on a non-nexus plattform means they're having to reconstruct proprietary blobs because they dont have sources, which can result in hardbricking and severe damages overall. 'beta' on nexus means that roms base on pure google code, aosp will run at a 100%, a few experimental features that the developer has put on top of it may not yet function correctly.

flashing on a non nexus plattform means youre breaking open the device with root exploits and hacks, undocumented **** like odin. on nexus you open the device by documented google means like fastboot and adb.

i see your point but please refrain from spreading fud on xda. its like the only place that is left. so many other other forums are spoiled. someone experiencing trouble and you answer him ", there you go, flashing is a risk, your own fault, blabla" thats pretty f-ed up and its not what i expect to see on xda.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risktaker84:
So no dice on my end. Phone is still not functioning after attempting the same procedure that I did last night.

The only change I saw from last night was that my PC finally recognized the device was plugged in but the driver being manually installed was "qhsusb_dload" other then that nothing.

ATM I am at work and have my N4 plugged in AC and gonna leave it there for a hour or two and try to get into Fastboot. That's all I want.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
That's a brick. This is qualcomm download mode. dexter93 has his Qualcomm unbricking project, works on many devices. Get in touch with him.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraschorsch:
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them but the device manager tells me that it is an unknown device (code 43) and that it already had the right drivers installed. I tried 4 different cables (the only one that charges correctly (AC) is the one shipped with the device) but no luck. I started my linux machine and tried to connect it to my n4 but no luck.

So I really think I've got an USB brick. Is there a way to get the N4 unrooted and unlocked with the factory image on it without ADB? I'm thinking about RMA, but rooted, unlocked and with CM10 on it I just might aswell order a new one, right?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
There must be a way. We do get ota flashed within the device, right? Unfortunately, all my previous experience is with htc, so i have no idea how it works on nexus. There must be a way to put everything in some sort of update.zip and flash from stock recovery. You can flash stock recovery within the rom, just need a script for it i guess.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katabroc:
Hi guys, I´m on the same boat as OP. Just read the whole thread and tried every solution people talked about.

And I have a bigger problem, I bought the N4 from a belgium seller who sent it to Paris so my brother in law could bring it to me. And I live in Brazil, Google Play doesn´t even sell the phone here.

Will I have to send the phone back do Belgium so Google can RMA it?

I can´t find any e-mail to google support and I´m not willing to pay for a international call just to know that they might not send the replacement to my country.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lupick:
I had your same problem

I've contacted the support center (via Skype) and after some test they agree for the RMA but look like they can ship devices only to country where Goole Play store sell N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katabroc:
Lupick, thanks for the quick answer. How did you get google skype so they could make the tests you said? The only thing I found was a feel numbers (1-855-836-3987 in the US and Canada, 1800-093-181 in Australia, 0800 328 6081 in the UK) in Google RMA page (here)and as I said, I´m not willing to make international calls. Skype would be a life saver on this matter.

The phone is here charging on my PC sitting at my side for 40 minutes, and the only thing I see is the red light blinking...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lupick:
yep that number; I've call the US one (but I purchase it in USA... they told me that they should ship in any country whwre Google play sell the devices.)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katabroc:
Well, I guess I´ll have to try that. Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miku3191:
Man i will tell you whole procedure i am doing ! .. please help me out ! :(

1. i plug the phone into USB connected to PC while pressing VOL - rocker untill i see the BOOTLOADER (other methods of bootloader access aren't accessible).

2. now as i have FASTBOOT mode accessible, i used WUGS Nexus ROOT TOOLKIT to download and install STOCK files.

(i will guide you into this step further, 'coz i think problem lies here)

2.1 WUGS downloads the tar.gz file.

2.2 Although into the FASTBOOT mode connected since step 1, WUGS detects the device, and proceeds flashing, confirming the deletion of everything.

2.3 Once it flashes boot partition, it requests device to boot up in BOOTLOADER again after REBOOTING !! BY ITS OWN !! ( i know this is a normal step)

But once it reboots the device, and boots agains, again the device enters RED LED DISTRICT !!! SO, I perform STEP 1 again and FORCE connect to FASTBOOT MODE. OR else the device kept on blinking RED ! :(

2.4 Once completed with this WUGS installer, the device is supposed to have STOCK image in it.

3. Now INSTALLER itself tried to reboot into system, BUT it DIDNT !!! It started blinking RED !!!

4. AGAIN GOT THE PHONE AS IT WAS BEFORE !

GUIDE ME THROUGH STEP 2, once it reboots flashing a particular partition, WHAT TO DO WHEN AGAIN IT ENTERS THE RED LED DISTRICT ?

What i am doing is fine ?

PLZ help man ! Thanks ! :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risktaker84:
It will be really helpful if we could get some feedback from the People who have send there devices, with the

I really hope they won't look into the matter a lot and just exchange the device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katabroc:
Miku, I did that too, with no success. Earlier today, when I left home and come to work, it stayed without a power supply for around 1 hour. When I first plugged it, it showed a brief battery charging animation after going dead again. Looks like it MAY have to stay a few hours (or days, dunno) without charging so it can start powering the battery up again. I´ll leave it alone for 20 hours or so and tell you what happens.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
What S Pen features do you lose by using a different launcher?

I gave TW a try the first 2 days with the phone, but the 4x4 launcher was just soooo ridiculous on such a large & high resolution screen. I put Nova Prime on with 6 rows and it looks great, but maybe I'm missing features I hadn't learned yet. ???

As long as you are rooted and on a XXALJI rom then you should be good to flash. But I'd do a nandroid backup just in case ;) .

Hi all :)

I don't think this is the right section but I have a simple question :)

I try to make a custom rom for my device with dsixda kitchen, but when I try to install my own rom on my device via CWM, I get this message: Error in /sdcard/(name of my rom).zip (status 0) installation aborted.

What is wrong???? :(

This is what I did:

I just extracted the stock kernel (boot.img) and the system folder from my device, then I cooked the rom with dsixda kitchen and I finally converted the script from update to updater

ps: I'm italian and sorry for my bad english :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Your not gonna be able to do this with a stock rom. You need a custom recovery and kernel.

Ok, but if I try to install another custom rom (e.g. Creed rom 3.5) it work without custom kernel...

I try to make my own rom from this thread

I ordered my SIM the day I received my N4 (Friday, the 16th) and chose USPS Priority Mail (because I'm not home enough to accept a signature delivery).

I got an email the next day with the shipping information.

However the tracking number didn't update whatsoever until late on the 20th saying that it had passed through Allen Park, MI (a couple hours from here) and no updates since.

It's now been 8 days since I ordered it and I still haven't received the SIM.

I understand that Thursday was Thanksgiving, but that's still 5 business days since I ordered it and 4 business days since USPS had it just a few counties away (Priority Mail is supposed to be 2-3 day delivery)

Is this something I should be worried about?

How long did it take you to get yours?
