Nexus 5 bricked/corrupted nandroid backup

Need help on restoring a possible bricked/corrupted nandroid backup. Or i least who can help/ knows how to get/recover info from that backup using windows or Linux (Ubuntu) please help.
Edit: First of all I'm sorry for my English. This is what happens when i try to restored trough twrp recovery. After it finish it boot normally but then it get to the lock screen( i guess) the only thing i can see is the signal bar (notification bar) and if i push the lock button (power button) one to sleep and again to wake the device i can see the lollipop initial screen for like 1 second then everything is back/dark except for the notification bar . I believe i got my self in trouble because this is what i did before doing that back up. I installed last preview on top of the last one before but it didn't boot up so i went to recovery and back up after that mess . Hope somebody can help.

Are you running the newest Lollipop preview? If so, that might be the problem. A lot of root apps don't work on it at this point.

those images mean nothing.. have you tried restoring your backup? a nandroid backup can not be "bricked". a bricked device is a device that can not be restored or reflashed, its only use would be to be a "brick" holding the door open.

Soft Bricked Verizon HTC One M8

I have a Verizon HTC One M8 that can still power on, but will only go to the black screen with an HTC logo in the center and a triangle with an exclamation mark in each of the four corners. This happened while returning my phone to stock. My computer disconnected from the phone half-way through pushing an RUU flash. The cable wasn't unplugged, the computer just made the disconnect sound and the flash stopped. The phone is not recognized as an adb device, but it is recognized as a fastboot device. This gives me some hope that the phone can be recovered, but any attempt to flash an RUU gives me the error: cannot load "file-name". Any suggestions?
Just to help out anybody trying to figure this out:
The phone will not enter recovery
The phone enters something akin to the recovery page if I disconnect it from the PC, but the only option is RUU and pressing the power button will not do anything (picture attached)

Once you see the triangle you hold volume up then tap power. Try rebooting your PC, pushing that file takes some ram and a reboot will fix it, also try using the adb and fastboot files from dottats s-on ruu thread. Its in the first post i believe and modify your commands to look like this "HTC_fastboot oem rebootRUU" (without the quotes) ect.........itll help the ram issue. Thanks @dottat for showing me this. Try that and report back.

Interesting, I didn't even know there was a version of adb specifically for HTC phones, though, I actually did this to my phone before that thread was ever made (never got around to trying to fix it until now). I'm at work right now, but I'll try it when I get home and update, thanks for the tip!

Just got home and ran the RUU with the HTC fastboot and it worked! At least I'm assuming so, I'm at the Verizon splash screen right now. Thanks so much for your help guys (and to HTC)!
Funnily enough, the soft brick worked out for me. If I hadn't bricked it I would have sold it months ago. I'm on a Droid Turbo now and I think I like the M8 better. So thanks again and I'll update if for whatever reason it's still messed up.

Awesome man, glad you got it working. Also you can try a factory reset after ruu if you've flashed a bunch of Roms and have iffy data

SM-G920P - Stuck on TWRP Screen!

[SOLVED]
So first of all, I apologise if another thread has been created. I have looked around and have seen nothing similar to my situation. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me out.
I rooted my SM-G920P device and trid to install the TWRP Recovery. I'm currently on 5.1.1.
It didn't work and I ended up with the start-up screen saying:
SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 Powered by Android.
At the top left it says: Recovery is not seandroid enforcing.
I have tried flashing twrp 2.8.7.1 with ODIN and I end up with the following screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The touch screen does not work so I am unable to swipe.
This is the issue I am having.
If I can get my phone back to normal functionality, I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi teekeiwong,
Press and hold "Volume Down" + "Home" + "Power" until phone reboots. When you see boot screen, release power key but keep holding volume down + home until you get to download mode. Release all and press volume up to agree to enter download mode.
Download this on your pc and open up Odin.
Connect your phone and add your downloaded file to the "AP/PDA" button in odin. Make sure ONLY F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot are checked. If anything else is checked then uncheck it before starting.
Click start and wait for it to finish, might take a while for your phone to boot first time after flashing
AFTER you are back to stock, take a GOOD look over here and you might just get a working root & custom recovery
Hope this helps!
- Renolz

Thanks Renolz.
I've been searching forums all over the place. I'll give it a try when I have a bit more time on my hands.
Thanks again.

Also I have another queestion which I hope you will be able to help me with. On my phone when I go to Settings - About Phone, the model number is SM-G920F. However when I go into Download mode I see that the model number is SM-G920P.
What am I supposed to go with?
Also after flashing the Noble ROM to convert my S6 into an S6 Edge Plus, I lost the baseband. I no longer can gain any signal to make calls nor texts. Would you have any idea how to go about this?
Thanks again

Same Issue...

[SM-T825][Bootloop] boot looping after flashing official firmware

Hi all, hope ur doing well
I recently rooted my Tab S3 with the help of TWRP and Magisk
All was well and there were no mishaps or errors. One day I decided i did not want it to be rooted so i flashed the official firmware from the SamMobile website.
Ever since then it has been boot looping, even after multiple flash attempts with varying version of Odin and the official firmware
I will try give as much info on the steps i took in order to help you help me.... if that makes sense
1. I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile and downloaded Odin v1.13.1
2. I selected the BL, AP, CP and CSC files respectively for flashing
3. I flashed the firmware successfully
4. Auto-reboot continued
5. Rebooted into recovery
6. Android Logo appeared and text said "Installing Software Updates"
7. Text changed to "Erasing"
8. The tablet rebooted again showing this screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
9. After which the boot loop started (showing black screen and above image.... never showing SAMSUNG logo)
After some googling i found that this is sometimes an issue and a quick way to solve it is to boot into recovery and WIPE CACHE and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
I did this but with no success.
After booting into recovery mode i noticed some interesting text at the bottom of the screen
(Apologies for the poor quality)
Not sure why the dm-verity verification failed but it prevented me from trying other methods such as updating via SD card or ADB.
So I thought let me try installing TWRP again and see if i can do anything from there.
So i booted into download mode and flashed TWRP.... only for it to fail and display this message
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Great. Just another quick google search and it suggests that the official firmware is to be flashed before continuing
so i did it ... again (steps 1-9)
and i am stuck where i started this quest, in a boot loop never getting passed the Galaxy Tab S3 screen
If you know what else i can try or what could be the issue, or even a mistake i made that i was unaware of ... please leave a comment
i appreciate any and all help
Thank you for ur time and sorry for the long post
Much love
justanotherdumbuser <3

I'm taking a long shot here, I don't have Odin in front of me but if I remember correctly, you must uncheck "auto reboot" in the options tab

hi @Raffles727
thanks for your advice, I have attempted it with "auto reboot" disabled
but as soon as I leave the download screen by holding the power + vol down + home buttons it repeats the same process from step 5-9 without any intervention from me
did I miss something or did I do it correctly?
