I restarted recovery and took the battery out just as the phone was supposed to restart, and I think I burned the battery pin connectors, I'll buy a new battery today and see if the phone charges, I'm hoping for the best

No it doesent turn on and I connected the battery to a PC speaker that I have and the sceaker made that sound that it usually does when connected to a power source so it is definitly not the battery problem, it's something to do with the rest of the phone. Since it doesent do anything I think it's dead :crying:
My phone died on me too, the last rom I installed on it was the cm-10.2-20130907-NIGHTLY-crespo.zip
I also have a similar problem - when traveling on a plane recently I pulled the battery. Since then the phone won't start - If i plug the charger in the screen flashes once briefly and then turns off without displaying anything. To make things worse the power button broke months ago.
Does anyone have any suggestion what to try before going to have it serviced?
Cheers

Last ditch effort for a solution here.
I have a 16gb white that's been performing just fine... i did unlock the bootloader and root, but had no issues. That was several days ago. Today, I installed a flashlight app from the play store. (Droidlight LED Flashlight by Motorola). Once I ran the app, the camera LED came on for about 2 seconds, and then both the LED and the screen went dark. The battery was at about 80% when this happened.
The device is now completely non-responsive. Holding down the power button and any combination of keys does nothing, and there is no charging indicator when it's plugged in. I've never bricked a device before, surprised this seems to be caused by a play store app (although if it's truly bricked, I suspect some sort of power issue).
Thanks for any advice anyone can provide before I have to RMA this thing. Any Ideas?
Can you get into the bootloader? Hold Vol down + power

Nothing works? You might be the second brick of the day
You could try to remove the battery, maybe that'll help.
edit: ofc try RMA first.

Hook it to a charger for some time and then try to get in fastboot mode once in a while, then go to recovery and delete the cache and do a data factory reset and reboot. That is what i would do at least.

Can't get into the bootloader. I've tried the following combination of keys...
Vol+ and Power - nothing
Vol- and Power - nothing
Vol+, Vol- and Power - nothing
Power on it's own for 2+ minutes - nothing
---------
Contacted Google and they're getting me an RMA... regardless, I'd be careful about running that particular app, or possibly any flashlight app.

I think he means someone else started a thread as well indicating that they also had a bricked phone. I read that thread before I created this one, as mine wasn't related to fastboot or recovery. My brick occured from actions that occured during runtime, and root wasn't even acquired by the app that caused the failure.

No it doesn't happen unless you don't do your homework and screw something up. If you read and learn it's very hard to hardbrick your phone. But this is the second one I've seen today. In both cases there are unique reasons it happened.

I flash my Phone with custom ROMs since the beginning of the Nexus era. To root and to flash my Nexus one took me like 2 hours to complete it (I admit, that I received some help back then).
For me it doesn't look here like it happened because of anyone's fault. The phone is available since this week and he's already rooted. He doesn't look like someone, who is new to it.
drain and recharge
if you have a secondary phone use it for a few days and leave your Nex5 to drain. Should be completely drained in 2-3 days. Then charge it up and try to enter bootloader.
PS: you could also try to open the phone and manually disconnect and reconnect the battery...

I'm going to let the battery drain, but there's literally no power running through the phone right now, it's doing nothing. Something was fried, I'm afraid it will take a lot longer than 2-3 days for the battery to naturally drain.
I'd love to pop the back off and unplug the battery (that was my first thought) but I'm not doing anything to risk getting the phone replaced. I'll RMA it.

is there a way to jumpstart the phone ???
Hello,
im new here.
My nexus 5 microphone was not working, therefore I opened it up, battery was around 12%; I patched it up and thereafter its not switching on. I have replaced the old battery with a new one, left it overnight on charge; still device is not getting on or responding to power or power+volume buttons booting option. My phone is not rooted. Connecting to the pc or laptop does not change anything. All I hear is a faint buzz from the open back of the phone indicating it is active. Need some help here seriously.
Do you see the charging animation when connected to a charger? Any indication the screen is lighting up? Possibly defective battery?

I do not see anything on the screen. It completely remains dark on charging (laptop/ wall sockets). On laptop under ports "device description failure" is the status.

Double-checked internal connections? Is possible an internal complement was damaged during the battery swap? Tried charging wirelessly or different cables and chargers?

I had been careful and internal components are unharmed because battery swapping was done without removing the motherboard. I dont have wireless chargers but I have used different cables.
Sounds like the phone may be bricked. The only way to really tell would be to put the motherboard into another working phone.

Since I do not have another working android phone, will it be sensible to take it to a repair shop? Will there be a chance to bring back the phone to a working mode?
You could take it to a repair shop but they may do exactly what you have tried.
Did try try cleaning around the power button?

Yes, i have cleaned the power button.
What happens if you put the old battery back in place? Does the phone boots up? Because it's strange that a simply battery replacement bricked the device.
Sounds like you'll need to find a way to try the motherboard in another phone.

I've had this happen a few times. To start the phone I simply hold down the power button and the volume down button until the green robot screen shows up from which I simply start the phone. Perhaps this will work for you.
I confronted a weird battery problem. Before this problem started, my nexus 5's screen was flickering. I researched and the flex cable was the reason of problem. I replaced it with a new one. Now my led light colors has changed. This can be acceptable but there is one big problem. Whenever I charged the phone fully, and plug it out, using some apps and whenever I use social media apps such as Instagram, Twitter, screen freezes and sometimes it reboots itself. Always this problem occurs when charge is over %60. However, when it is under %60 everything works normal. And when I plug in charge, it also freezes for a while. It's been approximately 3 years and 8 months since I bought it. Is it battery problem or else? What do you suggest?

yes. i'm running Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 currently.
Do a full nandroid back up and flash stock see if problem persists
alright i am going to do it. I don't think it is related with software because it happens when charge is higher than %60-65. By the way, if a xda user mentions about software, I'll take it into account of course. I'll try it in few hours and feedback here.

At night I was left with 90% battery . But at morning I found my phone on floor dead. I tried to open it , but it shows empty battery. Then I tried charging then MI logo came and again showed empty battery and phone is not charging. There is no external damage to the phone as I used a rugged cover. What can I do now? I tried force reboot , fastboot etc. But no response , just MI logo and empty battery while charging.
I think, the battery cable is disconnected. You need to remove back cover and connect it. (Back cover is glued)
hi...i get similar (weird) boot/battery loop affer display replacement.
https://mega.nz/#!i5okTYKZ!738Dd_59oapTJt8Ab-n5PpOICzV0V1QZbxkASo-jbF8
first time i connected the lcd it worled ..but as soon as i assembled it again ...it started looping
not able to go in fastboot or anything.
any ideas?
Any help guys?
update:
i noticed that if i connect the broken lcd (screen completely dark) and connect to the laptop via usb it bootloop but after some times...(30 min or more) the laptop start recognize it . at that point i connect the NEW lcd (without disconnect power) and i can see that android is up&running...but touch screen doest work.
Any idea please?
Ok..if it can be of any interest...things are emproving....
Now situation is.....if i connect the new lcd to the motherboard....connect the battery and the usb cable to my laptop.....and i leave the connection this way for around 30 min....the phone boot up and it work normally.
The only problem is when i reboot it again .because it start looping again and i have to wait another 30 min to have a mobile fully working.
In addition ive noticed that when the phone is working...the battery is instuck at 50%. And battery settings say that phone is NOT in cherge even if the usb is connected to the mobile.
I belive that the charge circuit is broken....
Now i have to pray that is just the little pcb that cost only 10 bucks...more or less.....

It might be a faulty flat cable between the main motherboard and the small board with the usb port? Just a wild guess..
Ia it glued to the screen assembly with a strong glue? You could try using the flat cable from the old display
i will give it a try and let you know.

Both chips responsable of power management and charge are on the main board. Hope they are not "broken/burned" in your case.
