When does that happen? It happens to me sometimes when someone calls me while another app was open. I think it's an android issue.

it happens while i am setting up the phone. i flashed the phone with stock 4.1.2, on first boot the phone will ask for wifi name etc. it happens that early so no apps installed yet.

Try a TOTAL wipe and reinstall, had that problem long time ago and was due to clutter.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Reload everything and format SD partition.

Torn Touch Screen Digitizer Flex

Ok so I tore my touch screen digitizer and just decided to sell the motherboard and working parts because this is my 3rd time breaking the phone and I'm ready for a new one. The screen turns on but the touch doesn't work and the problem is that I have a pattern lock on my phone that prevents me from being able to access and delete my data from the internal SD card. (Unlock phone to access data). Also, I just flashed the new Sense 5 rom but didn't enable Developer Options so I can't use ADB. Help?

If your phone is S-off or you didn't supercid you could RUU.
Alernatively, you could boot to fastboot and do
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
Ofcourse this will wipe EVERYTHING. So the person to buy it will have to be smart enough to get stuff on it again.

What if I just wanted to erase my data and apps? Should I just do "Fastboot erase Userdata" and "fastboot erase cache"?

userdata wipes the entire sdcard

How to perform a complete wipe without leaving any files on the phone?

I''d like to completely erase the internal memory of the phone. Akin to formatting a HD. It seems when I format all of the available options in recovery it still does not do this (ie full wipe, SD card, cache, system, etc).
How can this be done?
I'm assuming I can do this over adb commands from the PC and then load in a new zip to flash. The reason I'm doing this is that something is corrupt on the phone causing me to have dialer crashes as soon as dialer opens. I've wiped, I've switched ROMS, and nothing has prevented it. More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...di-rom-2-6-t2540455/post51346791#post51346791
Read the stickies then flash the factory image
Fastboot erase userdata
Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Locking then unlocking the bootloader again would wipe it clean...no?
Never relocked....so guessing.

If you oem lock and then unlock it does wipe it again.

OP wants to wipe everything I think, boot loader unlock only wipes user data
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot erase userdata
Then flash the factory .IMG files right after
Or just use the flash-all script that's included in the factory images as it uses -w to wipe everything.

Will this only delete user data or every bit and byte on the flash memory?

no, there's 20 or more different partitions on the whole flash memory. This is the only on though that has anything to do with your dialer issue.

userdata.

I erase all partitions and I can't boot into fastboot

*I erased all partitions, sorry for the bad grammar in the title.
So I really messed up when restoring my OPO back to stock and I flashed cyanogens boot images however the userdata.img made my phone only have 12GB avaliable. I later found the solution for that problem only to make myself another...
I really need a pro's help here. I haven't run into an issue like this EVER before. I'm no nub.
So here's what I did.
fastboot erase modem
fastboot erase sbl1
fastboot erase dbi
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase rpm
fastboot erase tz
fastboot erase LOGO
fastboot erase oppostanvbk
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
Now it seems that I can't get into download mode by holding volume up and power.
PLZ HALP
Which link said you to "erase" all the partitions?
If you ever wanted to erase anything, you should get into recovery mode and choose "Wipe"
Erasing all the partitions like you did, doesn't make any difference in performance of the device.
Only option for you is to visit the customer support. Your bacon is now just a piece of hardware without any firmware which helps you to load software
Erasing the partitions was a really bad idea, can you please link to the guide that said to do that? It needs to be investigated. You could try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
no guide, it was my stupidity.
Try the method I linked to above, report back with the results.
alright so I think this phone is gone for good at this point, I have been holding volume up and power for literally a minute and I feel no vibration. I made sure to charge it last night as well..
Does your phone still detectable in PC as QHSUSB_BULK or something similar? If yes, your phone isn't brick yet. You can follow this guide here. It unbricked my OPO twice. It will flash to Color OS first, then you can just simply flash back to any OS you want.
Alrighty thanks to @Heisenberg and @soralz and the authors of those guides, got my phone back and running
I can't express to you how thankful I am, I was so sure I had to go out and buy a new phone
Very glad to see you revived it, you're most welcome.

Nexus 5 Stuck On 'Formatting /Data' After Factory Image Flashing

Hi
I have Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) 16GB. After Marshmallow latest update my phone begun to restart randomly, So I tried to do factory reset. When I entered recovery mode It did not show android lying on its back with label "No command" , instead It showed standing android with some rotating cube (or gear) on its tummy. I tried to flash factory image in several ways, using nexus root toolkit and fastboot. I even tried different versions of android to flash but no result. My phone still shows Android with rotating gear on its tummy. Today I found this Thread and did everything that was told but no luck. :crying: If anyone could help I would be very grateful. Sorry for my bad English.
What is "everything that was told"? Did you erase everything then flash everything new? How long are you letting it sit with the rotating cube/gear thing?

I used this commands as it was described
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system

fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio "name of radio"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
astboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
every operation was successful.
I waited for this rotating gear more than 10 hours, nothing changed Still shows same
When I click power button + up volume key It says "Formatting /data"
Did you erase and reflash userdata img file?

yes I did that, but still shows Android with rotating gears.
It does not matter whether I start my phone normally or boot a recovery mode It still shows this Android animation.
Does the phone's bootloader remain unlocked after rebooting?

Nexus 5 Soft-Bricked HELP PLEASE!!!

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.
