Hi, I have unrooted Nexus somehow its not booting up no just shoing google Logo. I can only enter in dast boot mode and bootloader is locked hence can not load a new rom to it. Tried to unlock the loaded but unable to do so. Used most of the tools in the forumn but sill no success. Its still not boots into android
Any help will be appritiated.
Can you enter recovery? Like stock recovery or clockworkmod. You should be able to.
If you have stock recovery navigate to it using bootloader, then to active the menu press both the power button and the volume keys ( sorry I don't know which one). Wipe data and factory reset. Select it. BUT THIS WILL CLEAR ALL DATA.
If you have clockworkmod again boot into it like above and select wipe data factory reset. This will not delete you data.
If you have TWRP you can for the same as clockworkmod. But go to menu "wipe" and select wipe data factory reset.
Hope this helps,

Have you tried Wug's Nexus Toolkit? There's an option in the program for this type of thing. It'll flash full stock on your phone but at least it'll be working again, and from there you can flash CWM and root the phone as usual.
It's in the Nexus S Android Development forum, sorry I can't post links yet since I don't have the 10 posts needs.

I am 101% sure that you are missing something while unlocking either the drivers or the fastboot files.
Otherwise nothing can stop you from unlocking. Finally when you unlock, flash the factory image via fastboot and then proceed again towards rooting and customs. :good:
can u please tell me what method you are using to unlock boot loader?
follow these steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Help. I have the this error when I start TWRP
Code:
E:Unable to mount storage.
This stop me from doing backup in TWRP..
I have tried to re-flash TWRP. I have also tried flash the recovery.img from Google, and then flash TWRP. The problem still there.
I even try to nearly did a factory the full factory image by doing
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ11d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-1.0.25.0.23.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

Are there anything else that I can do? Please help...
Are you using twrp 2.6.3.4? Go into wipe and then format data. Backup first

He's not able to backup. That's the point of his problem. Still trying wiping dalvik and cache first. Then try data. If that don't work trying flashing cwm or Philz's touch recovery.
I tried to wiping dalvik and cache... the problem remains.
I then tried to wipe data but preserve /data/media, which is the default action. The problem remains...
I really don't want to reset my phone to factory state with internal memory completely wiped... any help, please?

Don't think you have a choice if you want the phone to work. You're going to have to format the data.
Sound like you missed a reboot before installing custom recovery after unlocking boot.

I'm not sure but you could try adb shell wipe data. Any reason you don't want to do it through twrp?

Hello everybody,I'm new here in XDA
Well,week ago I tried to flash my Moto G to GPE version,and after that update it to Lollipop.After updating I noticed "Hey,Wi-Fi isn't working!".But I wasn't at home,and I decided to format it at home.
And today I just can't format it!I tried to do that,but weird Android logo with exclamation mark appears(Yes,I tried to format it via fastboot and recovery menu)
Now I'm with phone without Internet(I'm from Ukraine,and there are no fast mobile network,no 4G,no LTE,no even 3G,GPRS only:cryingand ability to format it:crying::crying:
And I don't want to downgrade to KK,I like Lollipop
What should I do?
these didnt work?
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
in stock recovery you can hold volume up for 15 seconds and press the power button and you can do a factory reset that way.
or fastboot custom recovery and factory reset without flashing it.
Code:
fastboot boot <img file name>

THX bro,that command helped
I posted this on reddit...but didn't get much help...i hope the geniuses at xda can help me
As the title says, the camera app (any camera app) won't work because as you start any of them, it asks to insert the sd card, but this is a 2013 Nexus 5...so it doesn't have an sd card.
I've done a fair amount of research and the only thing that seems to be mentioned is factory reset. I've done that...both through the settings and twrp. The phone has a stock marshmallow rom.
I tried to download any other file and it won't let me download anything becauase the "sd card" is not available. So it's as if the internal sd card isn't mounted? how do I fix this? I don't have a computer nearby to do anything with adb...any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
The amount of storage according to the settings is correct (3gb used of 12 gb..16gb nexus 5)...all app permissions are correct. I've reflashed two different stock firmwares with the exact same result.
Try this:
boot into fastboot;
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase recovery (to erase existing recovery);
run this fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (to flash stock recovery from stock ROM)
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase userdata;
run this fastboot command to flash the usedata img from the stock ROM: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img;
boot into stock recovery and perform a factory wipe/reset and wipe cache;
reboot.

I'll try that tonight or tomorrow morning. Where do you suggest I download recovery.img (the stock recovery)?
Thanks for the help one way or another.. Hehe
The stock Google images are here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
I assume the phone has an unlocked bootloader since you were able to flash stock ROMs.
What did you do between all being fine and now this problem?

I sold the phone to someone I know. I had a rom (i can't remember which)...so before i sold the phone, i encrypted it, wiped it clean, flashed the stock rom (and radio)....and did a factory reset.

Thanks! I used the factory images and flashed everything from the compressed archive and it worked..you're a lifesaver. I guess I had to go further and reset everything..but thanks again!
Although my Nexus 5 is rooted with the toolkit I haven't done anything to it in months (no custom roms or anything)
My phone was working last night but when I woke up and it was in a bootloop.
so i tried fixing the problem myself, here are the things I tried:
- Hitting it (in case the buttons were sticky)
- Flash stock + unroot on the n5 toolkit
- Bootloader>Recovery>Wipe Data/Factory Reset
After that, the boot loop stopped and whenever I try turning it on it goes straight to the bootloader.
So I tried going into the wugfresh advanced utilities and i tried:
- Fastboot Erase*
- Fastboot format*
*flash stock + unroot after both
I have a little bit of hope because I can access the bootloader but I have no idea what else I can try.
Any suggestions?
thank you in advance
Does the bootloader remain unlocked?
Try manually flashing the latest marshmallow. After flashing, boot back into fastboot and run these commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (the userdata.img file can be extracted from the stock ROM for flashing in fastboot)
After running the 2 commands, boot back into recovery and perform a full wipe of data and cache, then reboot.

Yup, I'm running windows.
anyways I don't think the nexus toolkit works on any other platform.
