Installing a custom ROM on a Nexus 4 (mako) requires the bootloader to be unlocked on the Nexus 4 (mako) phone, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data.

    Has anyone flashed this successfully??
    It never booted for me. Always boots back to bootloader when I start the phone after flashing this LineageOS 15 on my Nexus 4.

    I am unable to boot any other ROM too…like: older CM14.1 or Lineage 14.1. Looks like some problem with the bootloader or the TWRP, need to look there.

    Meanwhile, please post the recovery used, if someone has booted successfully!!
