Re: Unresponsive Nexus 4 after running ubuntu-device-flash this afternoon

 

As a workaround to get you going, have you tried forcing it back into the
bootloader with volumedown+power from an off state? From there you can
retry the command. I've had a similar experience recently, but retrying
seems to work most of the time.
