[Q] Phone dead after flashing - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, so i was trying out velocity ROM for the first time. Went through the usual. Clean wipe, flashed ROM + PA gapps and rebooted. Somewhere while booting up, the screen just went dead and would not turn on anymore.
I read up later that ART is the default runtime on the ROM and now i wonder whether PA gapps and ART dont play along.
Is my phone bricked? Any recommendations to fix this?
Thanks!

which phone u r using..

Nexus 4.

If your is not switching on, or not charging after flashing, its time to say gud bye to it,.coz its been hard bricked... u should replace it vid another... the onyl way to get it back is go to service center and tell them,, that it got dead,, dont tell them that u have rooted or flashed a rom...if its in warranty...
they vll replace vid a new one..

So here's something strange. It seems to be charging just fine. Although the display still doesnt come on, the red led notification light flashes incessantly.
So strange.

Then it might be hardware display fault.. i think...

Red light means your battery is discharged to 0%. The charger doesn't have enough power to bump up the voltage. You need to take the phone apart and then do something with the battery contact wires, i think there's a thead here on nexus 4 xda forum.

Q for rom dev/chefs

Hey guys what controls the led notification? I searched for some thing in init.d and build.prop, but cant find it.currently i am beta testing my rom, moded from hyperdroid 5.8 and with flikerts latest kernal. I got this prob.
My notification led is always blinking in 2 sec intervel. First red, then green, then aftr 2 sec, the cycle repeats. It turns to red when i plug in charger, turns to green when full, as normal, but i cant figure it out wht is causing the blink, even if i have no notifications.

lights.xxxxxxx.so . look for that file i believe on hyperdroid its lights.htcleo.so .
Very same file, but it was in mine too. Any way to check it, i just replaced the file with another one taken from original rom.. rebooted. It dnt showed any blink till i plugin the charger. Aft i plugin. ,it started its old disease. Now its same. So its not the reason.

Hmmm , im not exactly sure then my guess would be kernel ..
I think this is a common problem to some kernals. And find a thread about fixing it. Will check soon.

camera-flash and flashlight apps

I have been searching but unable to get a likely probable answer except the light burned out maybe,but has anyone experienced the back light not working or unable to access light via apps?I just noticed trying to take a pic last night that the light didn't come on,so of course checked all the settings i could think of and downloaded a handful of flashlight apps to test it and none of them trigger the flash light it acts like it is working no errors or force-closures,co which leads me to believe probably light burnt out is this common?also does anybody know any things to check in the system or settings to make sure something didn't get deleted or corrupted .it is weird in the last 2 weeks my USB port stopped working and now the light isn't working ie flash..I did recently flash pimp my ROM and updated to the newest 4EXT RC other than that nothing major has been changed..any ideas please if you can post anything you got to help out it would be great..:crying:
I did try another ROM along with a FULL WIPE formatted system as well. So it doesn't seem to be a ROM issue.But not sure . I don't knowif it is possibly an issue caused by either pimp my rom or 4ext since I am unaware how they are stored in system and if they are wiped during the wipe process.
Sounds like the LED fried. I don't even think they sell replacements for those.

Thanks Estallings ! thats what i thought!!
Thanx for the help on the issue ,i guess my light is fried out.Now I have a bad usb port and a burnt out light so no flash on camera and unable to access via bootloader because of usb ,funny thing is it still charges, so (usb) it partially works .I think it is time to retire this bad boy.

You can just flash a new rom,
OR
1)Go to recovery mode and go to CWM
2)Then scroll down click on advanced
3)Select Batrey status
4)Clear it

Clear battery stats from cwm..
first of all --- wrong section
second tell me which kerrnel you are using......
also switch off your phone and them try to switch it on.........
does it vibrate and shows charging????
i had the same problem because of water damage and it was solved by blowing hot air from a hair dryer into the charging port in a way that it comes out from the battery point....
remember to take out your battery before you do it.....
this will dry out the water if any in the main board. dry the board properly and then switch on and report....
also do not forget to hit thanks if i helped you
i had the same problem
..
just clean ur charging port and push slightly charging pin up..
Maybe you have discovered the secret to infinite power? Be thankful, you don't have to live with terrible battery life anymore.

i had this Problem for a long time it 90% has nothing to do with the software its about the hardware can you answer this for me:
1.are you using the right charger for your device i may be a voltage just let the battery drain and charge with the original one
2.try changing the kernel
3.it may have something to do with the charging port did it fall in the water not the phone the port like if you dropped a glass of water and it touched the port it don't worry it will solve it self
press thx if i helped
Yeah m using original one
I never droped my sgy in the water and which kernal i can use??
M currently using kuro kernal.

Try to reflash the Kernel and the ROM. It may be the cause.
Maybe some files might have got changed / corrupted after flashing the kernel.
Best charging method opted by myself:
Charge the battery fully
Use it until it drains completely
Then again charge it full without interruption
P.S. I am a newbie! Sorry I am wrong! Please correct my mistake (if found any)
