Won't Boot Up - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just got my Nexus 5. Unlocked the bootloader. Booted into TWRP and installed SuperSU. Rebooted device and it was stuck booting up with the nice 4 circles.
Rebooted back into the bootloader. Did a full factory wipe with the image and flash-all.bat from google. Still will not bootup after the flash-all reboots. Stuck on the loading screen. Tried this 2x now.
Any ideas?

Have you tried a wipe cache and dalvik?

Go to the stock recovery and do a factory data reset.

black screen

Hi,
I´ve tried to use "root live logcat". This app is supposed to show logcat during phone boot, but I got black screen instead. Phone will boot but I´d need to know how can I remove black screen.
I tried to uninstall root live logcat and copy new bootanimation.zip into data/local and system/media but it didn´t help.

If you select wipe data/factory reset...you will lose everything that isn't saved to your USB storage. You should be fine with just flashing the ROM without the data/factory wipe. Just make sure to wipe your cache and Dalvik!

What betoishly says. Wiping cache and dalvik cache does not affect your apps/data. Only if you do factory reset you wipe everything.
For the record, this solution did not work. Any other suggestions?
After wiping the cache partition and Dalvek cache, the phone continued to boot with a black screen. It then went to an "Android is upgrading..." screen and Optimize every single one of my apps (128). Nothing was messed up.

Just getting the logo and a black screen after an update

Samsung Galaxy S2 i727 Skyrocket.
I recently updated to a 4.3 rom.
It booted up and I just got a message "Unfortuanately, Nfc Service has stopped. Blame Tyler."
I couldn't get the message to go away and the only thing I could do was a hard reboot.
Still same issue.
Rebooted into Recovery mode.
Factory Reset, wipe cache partition, format /system, wipe dalvich cache
Restored an older rom.
It booted up with no issues. But when I rebooted, I just get the Samsung logo and then the screen goes black.
I even tried Factory Reset, wipe cache partition, format /system, wipe dalvich cache and installed a new rom from scratch.
Same problem.
I have no idea what to try next or why this is happening.
Any help or comments are welcome.
Thanks

[Q] Issue after installing kernel!!! Please help!!!

Hi,
I am new to rooting my phone and I've screwed it up . I installing elementalX kernel, and then I reinstalled the kernel(this time underclocked) without flashing my phone. Now, when I start my phone, the phone reboots on Google screen itself. I am able to enter the Recovery mode, tried cleaning dalvik cache, cache, even factory reset, still the problem persists, so so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.

Try to wipe cache in recovery or flash the stock kernel(boot.img) in fastboot and wipe cache afterwards. If that doesn`t work factory reset or reflash the rom you have with a full wipe.

I tried to flash to factory image(including boot.img), cleared the cache, now the phone is stuck on loading screen. And now I am unable to open the recovery mode(the android on the back with "!" symbol appears).

If you also erased and flashed userdata.img you shouldn`t have problems, for the symbol you see press power and then volume up and you should come in recovery.

[Q] Factory reset did not remove encryption

So I am going to RMA my phone and I thought it would be a good idea to encrypt then factory reset. So I tried this and my phone boots up and all but it still asks for an decryption key.
What should I do?

Enter recovery, format data, reboot to bootloader, and re-install stock via fastboot.

after whiping data, phone is stuck and twrp does nothing

Hey guys,
I have a oneplus 6red rooted with magisk and twrp running oreo 5.1.11, today I decided to enter twrp and reset my phone by whiping dalvic, cache and data.
After reboot, phone screen is totall dark but the light indicator was flashing constantly, entering twrp is no succes, twrp screen is stuck like more then 10 mins. I believe that I cant enter twrp to do something about it. I have downloaded the stock 5.1.11 which is an oreo version
Did I do really something wrong ? if yes or no please let me know how to fix this.

Try bluespark TWRP and flash your OOS zip again and report back. Maybe a magisk flash will help too.

thnx, I entered into fastboot mode, then from my pc I when into the fastboot folder to open cmd and boot twrp from there on my device, from there I followed a tutorial how to adb sideload and flash a rom from your pc. Now its working
But I dont understand why a simpel factory whipe through twrp caused all of this, I only wiped dalvic, cache and data.

This may be a side effect of A/B partitioning and no longer having a recovery partition. Remember TWRP is a part of the boot partition now

Use a fastboot rom. That will wipe EVERYTHING - and guarantee that you have a usable phone afterwards

You probably wiped system that's why you had nothing to boot into

i am almost sure that it was data and dalvic cahce and not system, that is what i also explained in my first post.
But how are you sure that it was system wipe ? did you factory reset your op6 multiple times without issue through twrp ?
phone is fixed btw

Its the easy answer, say that you wiped system or such.
If you wiped Data with Magisk installed, without flashing the stock kernel, you won't be able to boot, since Magisk stores stuff necessary to boot on Data.
Usually, people is stuck on a infinite bucle on TWRP after this, you couldn't even enter TWRP? that's new. The issue you're telling sounds like you changed slot in TWRP somehow to an unused one or something like that, never heard of that.

Yeah I have wiped data in twrp with no issues. TBH it just sounds like there was no system to boot into. Wiping data is just that and shouldn't make the phone unbootable. Also you fixed the issue by flashing OOS which makes me believe this also. If you want to factory reset your phone the best way is to do it through settings.
