Recover data from a N4 without battery - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I have a big problem...one piece linked to battery is broken on the motherboard (I don't know how to explain it)..the problem is: how to recover data? The phone works only in fastboot mode with only usb cable connected, if I try recovery mode it shuts down, and abd commands are not working in fastboot mode..I had custom 5.0 rom with twrp and unlocked bootloader. Please help me!

Flash recovery from fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery". Then you can use adb from the custom recovery.

Oh yes understood, unfortunely I can't..it's the part where you hook the battery. But now I have a new phone, I only need to know if there is a way to recover data without a battery plugged in, so a command in fastboot mode.

There are no commands in fastboot to recover data. Only adb, which if you can't boot into recovery or the os you're sol.

fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot -w
I'd then flash the factory image with fastboot. That way the partitions will be written to twice.
Edit, if you're able to use fastboot have you tried booting into a custom recovery?

phone not booting up into android

hi folks don't know if i should make a new thread for this but i have not seen anything similar so here goes.
yesterday not sure if it actually matters but i dropped my phone and i picked it up the battery came off so the phone powered down but then i tried to boot it up again to no avail... the phone turns on but no matter how i do it it only boots up into recovery... if i use fast boot to remove recovery it boots up into fast boot i tried changing from the current swiftdroid asis to others like 2.1 roms, 2.2 and other 2.3 but all the same results...
how now... i am currently stuck with a lame nokia phone and i don't really want to keep it too long please help thanks!
Maybe you could flash a fastboot ROM with KDZ?
Wont that brick the phone? Due to some bootloader thing not downgrading

I not sure about that. D:
Isn't there an option to boot to 'bootloader' when in fastboot? Maybe type that option (I think it's 'fastboot reboot-bootloader') and see if it makes a reverse effect and boots into Android.
eh i think for gt540 bootloader=fastboot

Lol. of course I said that because fastboot is identified as bootloader when using fastboot/ADB/terminal. E.g. the command 'reboot bootloader' on terminal and 'adb reboot bootloader' on ADB.

yes when typing reboot bootloader in adb you are in fastboot (first time i thought my phone messed up ..) but you could try to erase everything via fastboot (boot, system, recovery, data of course) and then start again with another recovery and then install any rom via recovery
Done exactly that. I try before posting :/
Maybe the flash memory had damaged. So start in recovery then connect with usb and in adb shell try to mount /system

[Q] phone not booting!

So I was following all the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
and I did flash the stock 4.2 img. Now, after unlocking the boot loader, i didnt exit the fastboot mode and stayed in. And continued the steps of section D (all of it). Then I did a fastboot reboot , and Google appeared and below it unlocked lock and then the jellybean logo. It's been almost 20 min and it hasn't passed that screen yet. The rainbow colour X.
What do I do to fix this?? I can go back to fastboot mode, but not sure what to do. I did the fastboot erase cache before rebooting my phone!
Look at the notes of section D.
You have to reboot into recovery, clear cache and factory reset.

I did this though: 13) Erase the cache partition: fastboot erase cache
14) Reboot: fastboot reboot
Okay, and I will try to do that now.

Flash it again using fastboot and the official Google image. Recent nexus devices are strange, i never had problems before but softbricked both nex4 and 7 just like that. If you can enter fastboot mode all is well though.
Ps. That tutorial, that was the longest one I've seen in my life. Are you aware that Google images contain clickme.bat files? You literally click it and it's done. Just make sure you have fastboot and adb installed. You can extract them from nexus toolkit as well.
If you do wanna make it by hand, also no problem. Download the image from here:https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
And type:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
Exchange the correct names of course. And make sure you're in fast boot mode.

Okay, im gonna go and do that! Thanks!
I was trying to mount the sdcard with nexus 4 but it wont do that with CWM and TWRP.
okay I think I just lost access to everything on my phone :|. I am still on TWRP, is there anything I can do with that?
I accidentally wiped the system files ugh. So I lost bootloader which means my phone is empty and useless and im still active on TWRP.
This is what I did in TWRP:
went to WIPE menu and did the following:
1)Wipe Cache
2)Dalvik Cache
3)Factory Reset
4)Wipe System
5)Wipe External storage ( didn't work - failed)
6)Wipe Internal storage (deleted)
So I have a boot loader still ?? or is that gone too? I am still active in TWRP. What are my options to fix this mess I've gotten myself into =\.

for the next time, you better learn what all this stuff is and means which you are flashing. i cant help but thinking its dangerous what you're doing there. if you are in twrp you're free to install any rom, your phone is pretty much safe if you can access it. wiping system wont kill your bootloader, system is a partition, your rom gets installed in there. you can wipe it, most roms even do it by default in the installation script. if your bootloader is gone you'll know.

HELP! stuck in recovery [SOLVED!]

Issue solved by using the following commands in fastboot via this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1, For anyone who has a similiar problem do the following.
1) Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices
2) Unlock your bootloader (if you have not already done so): fastboot oem unlock
3) You will see a prompt on your device. This will wipe your entire device (including the /sdcard folder). Accept. Note: you use the volume keys to change the option and the power button to accept. You cannot use the touch screen.
4) Reboot by typing: fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) Flash the bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img (or whatever the name of the bootloader image that you downloaded).
6) Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
7) Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).
8) Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
9) Flash the system partition: fastboot flash system system.img

How to wipe out my phone to sell with an unresponsive screen?

Broke/cracked my screen and it's not usable anymore. Looking to sell it quickly for $70, got a few interested buyers.
I was wondering how I can wipe out user data and everything without being able to use a screen. Factory reset, etc etc.
Thanks in advance guys.
Rooted running on PA, using TWRP.
If you can get into fastboot, "format userdata". There are other methods, but only for a functional screen. Let me know if you need further help with fastboot.

So then you just need to have ADB/fastboot installed on your computer. Reboot your phone to the bootloader. Then "fastboot format userdata", or "fastboot erase userdata". You don't even need the screen!

You don't need it on. Just an unlocked bootloader. And if your bootloader is not unlocked, just unlock it and it'll wipe everything. fastboot oem unlock

Since your phone is unlocked, I would try to flash a full Google image using the included flash-all.bat (instructions are on the same page as the image downloads). Not being able to access recovery mode may indicate a more serious problem.

Too early to tell. Google intended the image files to be a foolproof way to "reset" the phone to factory stock. This is the first thing you have to try. Set up ADB/Fastboot on your PC and use it to communicate with, and send commands to your phone.
I've gotten myself into the same situation a few times and flashing the full stock image with flash-all.bat command has always gotten me out of it so far. After I'm back on stock I just start from scratch again and flash recovery, custom rom and root.
