Brand new Nexus 5 DOA - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The the device came in today and when I turn it on The Google logo comes, turns off and restarts for a boot loop. I even did a full restore using the recovery toolkit like swoggers and even then no luck. I was able to install twrp with no issue. Anyone have the same issue ?
Thanks

Anyone?

I had problems AFTER I installed TWRP, but before that it booted just fine.
My problems started after unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP. Try wiping as much as possible (except System) with TWRP. I read somewhere it's a problem with the cache partition. I also went into "Mount" in TWRP (I think that's what it's called) and mounted System. I'm telling you all this from memory, not sure exactly how I fixed it, but eventually I was able to turn the phone on.
Hopefully this is the reason you're having problems. It'd be frustrating to have to try and get another one from the Goog.

[Q] Can't boot into system- need help

Hi,
My HTC one mini has an unlocked bootloader, TWRP installed and S-off (i don't know if this will help)
I was trying to flash cyanogenmod 11 on my device via TWRP however it said that it had failed. Then when i rebooted my phone it showed the HTC logo but after a couple of seconds, the screen went black. Then the HTC logo popped up again, however, my phone had just booted back into my recovery.
I have tried to solve this by factory reseting however this did nothing, i have flashed a backup i had saved to my computer (that was saved by ROM manager) however there was no change, and i have switched off several times however i always end up in the TWRP recovery. I can boot into the bootloader but from there, i still can't get to the normal system.
This is a big problem as i can't find anything else on the internet that describes this problem and i think that my phone could be bricked. I can't access my apps or anything else. I don't think it is a bootloop as I can't even see the security screen and i don't have the option of entering my password which has happened in the past as it always goes straight to the recovery.
If anyone had any advice on what to do i would really appreciate it as I really need help!
Thanks
Seems you have no os loaded. I'm not sure why your backup does not work. I had an issue flashing cm11 originally, kept failing. Did you wipe data, cache and all and retry your backup again?

i have the same issue..

Phone won't boot to OS anymore.

I went to bed last night, did what I normally do, set my alarm and turned on sleep tracking. I woke up this morning to find that my phone had booted back into TWRP. I rebooted and found that after the LG screen it goes directly into TWRP which had replaced factory reset using bump. I tried to restore the phone using a saved backup and that didn't work. I tried to wipe it then restore and that didn't work. I am afraid that my phone is a lost cause and that I cannot get a replacement due to it booting to the TWRP screen every time it is turned on. The phone had been working fine for the past week since I had installed TWRP. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do or what might have caused this?

Sounds awesome thanks.
All the times that I tried to it to flash a ROM itself it doesn't do it but it does it by itself.
Here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2908290 after you fix it freeze software update with titanium backup
I cannot get the first step to work. ADB cannot see the device. I tried installing the Google USB Driver but that didn't work and TWRP ADB sideload doesn't work either.
EDIT: I put the zip on my phone using MTP and flashed it using TWRP but it still stuck booting into TWRP.
EDIT 2: Tried one more time again after flashing my backup ROM. Now it loads.
I can't help more on a road trip sorry
Try this, worked for me
Go to this website and do what ot says. http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=57453756 this should fix it. I had the same issue and this worked :good: sorry if im late.

[SOLVED] Constant reboot, need urgent help!

Hey guys,
I have encountered a serious problem on my device. Today I rebooted my phone once and it has just stuck on the samsung logo. Then the phone began to reboot without ending....It could not just start. With the help of TWRP I have made a full wipe and tried to reinstall my actual firmware Superman 1.10.5, but I always stuck at 25%, the phone did not respond to any actions. I even tried to flash the stock 4-file firmware with Odin, but it did not help, the phone constantly reboots. Sometimes it manages to boot to the stage where the sign "installation of applications" appears, but a while later it stucks again and reboots. Please, help me to solve the issue, because I am begininng to think that it would be unpossible to recover the phone. I am only able to enter the download mode or recovery, anything else does not work.
Thanks....

Really sad to hear that story mate. First things first, I assume your BL version is matching with the firmware your flashing right. And when you go to TWRP, can you see /system and /data partition from the mount menu? If not, you have to perform a factory reset. I had issue like that with my Galaxy S7 and usually factory reset(not wiping) helped me with that situation. Since your system can boot up, but crashes after awhile, I do suspect that some of your partition might be corrupted(at least its what happened to me). So trying factory reset can be a good bet for you.
And... I think you have to provide more information with which variant you are using, and your BL version, TWRP version too, solve the problem quicker. Hope this information helps.

Yep, you are right, BL versions always matched firmwares. I tried to wipe the phone with TWRP 3.0.2.3 and also to make a factory reset with the stock recovery. The stock firmware, which I tried to flash, was G930FXXU1BPH6_G930FOXE1BPH1_SER consisting of 4 files including BL,AP,CP and CSC. After 3rd or 4th flash of the same stock firmware the phone suddenly became alive and began to boot. Wu-huuu:silly: I was happy as a child. After having successfully launched the stock rom I have again flashed TWRP 3.0.2.3, went to "wipe" option and formatted data. Then I have installed a Superman Rom 1.12 and everything went the right way. I don't understand only one thing: why after having wiped the phone several times and having reseted it through the stock as well as TWRP recovery it didn't want to boot.
As you said, I suppose that the one of partitions was corrupted. Oh damn, I thought that I won't be able to resuscitate this phone.
I have flashed about 20 phones during my life, but I have never ever encountered such serious problems.

One PlusOne recovery loop- Help needed

Hello, I need serious help with my phone.
So, after a long while of having my phone rooted, and had a case of boot loop with twrp, I decided to go back to stock os and hung up the root days. I thought i did it right by getting a stock os and flashed it, and it worked for couple months, until yesterday.
My phone keeps going into Cyanogen Recovery, I tried rebooting so many times, once it did boot up to OS, but it went back after i restarted phone or it died.
Now I can't no longer get back, I thought factory resetting will work but it didn't. (Tried both wipe cache partition and Full factory reset option from the recovery) I found unroot your phone toolkits, thinking it could help fix my problem and just unroot/ give me back to OS (I wished i found this before flashing that custom stock rom).
But the toolkit doesn't work for me, it finds adb devices, but it cant find fast boot devices, because my phone cant even go into fast boot.
I tried manual, and the option from the recovery, it keeps going back to recovery. I have an option for apply update, and then apply from ADB, that was the only way for my pc to recognize my phone from adb devices. Any clues on how to fix?

Will try, Ill respond back if anything happens!
Hmm I'm still having trouble because, I can't get into fast boot for some reason. It's keep going back to Cyanogen recovery. It has the option to reload into bootloader, but goes into cyanogen recovery again.
There is an option in dev options, uncheck the "update cyanogen recovery" and flash twrp again

TWRP Bootloop (SM-J327P)

I've been stressed out lately about trying to root my Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge.
I got TWRP 3.1.0-0 and went on install but the supersu 2.82 zip file wasn't showing so I tried to fix it.
First I tried Format Data and that didn't work, then I tried Changing File System for System, Data, and Cache one by one and that seemed to have worked. The supersu file showed and I installed it.
Then I Rebooted System and it said,"No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" and this has happened to me before so I figured it would reboot back into TWRP and I would have to boot to download mode, and install the firmware through Odin, but that didn't happen, what happened instead was when I Rebooted System, on the top right it said,"kernal is not seandroid enforcing, set warrenty bit:kernal" and would keep bootlooping, I went back into TWRP by taking the battery out and putting it back in then holding power, home, and volume up and I was back in TWRP.
The thing is it would keep doing this and I'm kinda stuck right now tbh. I already tried Formatting Data, Flashing a ROM, and installing the SM-J327P Firmware, but nothing worked. I'm guessing the only way to fix this is by changing back to my original File Systems and then installing the Firmware through Odin, but I'm stupid and don't remember the original File Systems. So if any of you could tell me the default File System for System, Data, and Cache or another way to fix this that would be great. Thanks
I'm still stuck in this situation...
Any help plz?

You have to use the getprop command to get your software number. Then you have to restore that EXACT software. You might have probably updated unknowingly, and the bootloader updated too. So restoring to an older firmware might bootloop. It was a huge pain in the butt to get mines working after this issue but I got it right after a few tries. I flashed the custom J327p rom they made for it, factory reset and just waited until it booted. Was a long time but after trying every restore and refreshing, I got it working. There's the newest firmware out (idk the name since I just have the metro version of this phone now) but only that one will get the phone running. If you ever do get it running, root with magisk as this phone is VERY sensitive to SU and won't work half the time

Thanks for the reply but I have tried restoring with a firmware with my exact software number, model, version, changelist, build date, country/carrier(sprint), and security patch level and I did a format data, yet It didn't work... As far as I know, the bootloop was not caused by the firmware, it was caused by me manually changing the Partitions' File Systems, however I do not remember the original File Systems for the partitions. In case this madders, the way I changed it was by pressing "Wipe" in TWRP, then "Advanced Wipe", then selecting "System", then "Repair or Change File System", then "Change File System", and choosing a random button. I also selected "Data" and "Cache" but I did it individually, one at a time.

That's a tough one. I've never touched those options in TWRP. Have you used Odin to completely wipe the phone from everything including TWRP and flashing stock?

I do have a brother that has the EXACT same phone as me so I tried installing TWRP on his phone and checking the original File Systems, however TWRP doesn't install on his phone for some reason. I enabled developer options, USB debugging, OEM, and installed the drivers and when I install TWRP recovery on his phone through odin it says it was successful but for some reason when I boot into the bootloader it's the regular one that comes with the phone and not TWRP. I'm guessing this is because he has low storage (95% used up). But he doesn't cooperate with me and says he doesn't want the TWRP on his phone because virus blah blah idk (and I don't know how to remove it without factory reset, which he doesn't want to do even though he can backup his stuff) also doesn't want to delete or free up storage from his phone. So I'm going to try wiping my phone through odin i guess...

Storage space has nothing to do with flashing recoveries because they have their own partition. I suggest you flash the same TWRP you used on his phone, then as soon as it finishes flashing, boot into recovery IMMEDIATELY by pressing volume up, power, and home. do NOT let the device boot. If you screw up and it gets to the Samsung animation, flash again and try again. This is because some of the latest Android devices tend to restore recovery upon boot for some reason. Through my experience, anyways. Try this and let me know your results.

Ok. It worked and my phone is back, the problem is now my brothers phone keeps popping up a message on his home screen saying, "Unfortunately, TouchWiz home has stopped.", and "Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped", and other messages over and over and he can't do anything after installing TWRP. I've tried rebooting, and force stopping and clearing cache of Google Services and TouchWiz but nothing worked

You have to factory reset. I don't know how you're gonna do it but that's the only way to get out of it otherwise you might have been doing something else other than installing TWRP and broke something. I suggest you restore to stock and try again. If you didn't make a back up, you might be bricked unless you flash the stock firmware with a computer

Thank you so much for your help! My phone is back and luckily my brother had a backup so we fixed his phone and I rooted with Magisk which apparently I needed a micro SD card because my internal storage showed as 0mb and tried everything to fix it ,which is why I was in this mess in the first place, then I finally decided to buy an SD card and it worked!

I have tried manually mounting, format data, wiping system, cache, and data one by one, changing the File Systems one by one, and alot more. NOTHING WORKED. However every youtube video that I have seen about rooting my exact phone with twrp, all had and used micro SD cards! I tried avoiding buying one but every time I try to fix it any other way it ends up either not doing anything or screwing up my device. Once savagevegeta helped me out of the mess I caused by trying to fix the 0mb I decided screw it, no other method worked so might as well try buying a SD card, and guess what happened, IT WORKED! And I realized why every single guide and yt video used micro SD cards for my model.

Your data partition will still be unmountable and remain 0mb, which means you are unable to make a backup.
However if you're happy with it in that state...
Re: bootloop
have you tried grabbing the no verity/encrypt form the rooting forum, this solves seandroid problem
