I connected it back to my computer, its shows it a nexus but it shows theres 0 files on it.
I tried using adb but it wont find any device.

Why haven`t you made a nandroid backup first after you flashed TWRP? Have you cleared the cache after flashing TWRP: fastboot erase cache in adb? If nothing else works reflash the stock recovery and clear cache afterwards or reflash the factory image as a last resort.

archive does not contain android-info.txt
archive does not contain android-product.txt

Hi guys,
got my nexus 5 yesterday and wanted to flash AOSP. But at some time, something might have broken, because now I get a bootloop after factory reseting via Kwongger Nexus5 Toolkit, ADB sideload via CWM, via zip, ... I tried everything, wiped everything, erased anything via fastboot. When I boot into CWM, there are messages like "E: cant mount cache, invalid argument", so my prediction is, that something bad happened to partition table or likely.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I searched the whole internet up and down, comparing to other devices like nexus 4 which I use right now.
Every idea is well-appreciated ALOT :good:

Go into recovery and clear the caches and do a data factory reset and see if it boots, if it doesn`t go into fastboot and flash a Google factory image. A good advice = DO NOT USE TOOKITS. Good luck bro

Try erasing your cache partition from bootloader.
Get into fastboot USB mode and:
fastboot erase cache

Hi folks.
I'm facing a really weird problem. My friend's N5 doesn't want to boot with Lollipop, it shows the boot animation, but nothing happens, more than an hour and nothing.
I tried to flash back to kit kat. It indeed booted, but just to say that the camera and gallery has stopped, and gallery couldn't find any storage. When I go to the storage section in the settings, it doesn't show the pictures, music and other sources, just available space, cache and apps.
I tried to flash a custom rom to, but they all give me bootloops.
I never had this problems with my n4, so i don't know what to do anymore.
Any solutions?
Flash lollipop with fastboot. Then boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Everything will be fine.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
I've already tried that, didn't work :crying:

You flashed the factory image with FASTBOOT and still had this problem? You sure?
Hmm. Try fastboot formatting all the partitions and then flashing the image again. Can't hurt.

Yes, i'm absolutely sure. I'm used to use fastboot to flash my Nexus 4. I downloaded the proper factory image from Google and flashed it using both flash-all.bat and manual input in the cmd.
I tried to erase the partitions, format using TWRP, and install a custom ROM.
With twrp I can see the the internal storage partition, and even mount it to access by computer. But when the device boots, it just can't see the partition.
I put a song in the internal storage with twrp just to test, and when the device booted it didnt recognize the song, but when I got back to recovery, it was still there.
It seens that the problem is in the internal storage, but I don't know how to fix, and what could have caused it.

Tried that. I first used fastboot erase, didn't work, and then I use twrp to format to another fs. After that, I flashed the image again. Still nothing.

I have wiped everything lots of times.
It's the first time I have a hard time trying to fix an android phone...
Now I flashed kitkat image again. It booted but with the storage problem. Then I update via notification, and it stuck in lollipop boot animation.
I will let it booting through the night. Or it boots after a couple of hours or the battery dies.

Yeah this seems kinda crazy. Usually when stuff gets messed up like this a factory image clears it up. In your case, I honestly don't know what else to recommend. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Replace internal storage, nothing else you can do
Nothing worked in the end. My friend will send the phone to tech support.
Thank you guys for the help.

So I encrypted my moto 4g and all went fine. However I wanted to flash and install an app via my recovery(my device is rooted and I got custom recovery but I'm on stock rom) but It kept saying it could not access the data of the phone. I figured this was because it is encrypted. I also tried restoring an older backup from when the phone was not encrypted but that would not work either. If I do a factory wipe in recovery that won't work either. If I enter the Android settings and choose data wipe the phone starts to bootloop.
What can I do to decrypt my phone?
Did you encrypt the phone using stock recovery?
No I encrypted with the custom recovery.
Have you tried to erase cache and userdata using fastboot commands?

No I have not, haven't had time to try, I assume here are some guides about it and I will look into it when I have time.
Just wanted to say that I fixed it, had to reflash the whole device with flashboot, then I re rooted it and restored an backup.
Glad it worked out for you.

You can flash the stock images via fastboot, that will erase everthing and get you back to stock. You can then install a custom recovery and flash roms again.

There is a command to wipe user data, see the below guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
Reason!
Thanks for your expert replies.
The reason for asking was and is for you to know in depth what happened.
My OPOs BL is unlocked and rooted.......at times try other ROMs like Hydrogen, RR, etc.
I was surprised to see and empty Baidu folder size 80 bytes shown by ES File manger, after I flashed back COS 12.
The way I flash is firstly reboot to TWRP, Format > type yes, than Factory reset, than Advanced Wipe ALL except OTG, power off the OPO.
Power on in fastboot mode, connect to pc and flash COS ROM using those commands.
All is good, except the empty Baidu Folder, fail to understand how did it persist.
Other thing is when I later flash TWRP over stock, and than when I perform a factory reset before flashing another ROM, see red SD card errors? ........have to keep rebooting to TWRP.
The way I flash is TWRP > Format type yes > Factory reset > Wipe all except OTG > Mount OTG-USB containing the zip, install zip swipe flash > once done > Reboot. (before reboot don't clear dalvik and cache).
If I take screen capture of TWRP they wont be saved in Gallery.
TWRP 2.7.8.0 when flashed on start up showed this.........
"TWRP has detected an unmodified partition. TWRP can leave your partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. TWRP will be unable to prevent the stock ROM from replacing from replacing TWRP and will not offer to root your device. installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition.
Never show this screen during boot again."
To sum up my queries are:
1. How can I perform a deep clean of OPO, and than flash COS 12 using fastboot, so I don't see any Baidu etc empty folders.
2. Than flash TWRP and and if needed can take it's screen captures.
3. Later if required can flash new custom ROM with out issues.
Bottom line to clean my OPOs Storage that includes SD card.
Btw my OPO isn't giving any issues or bugs and working great, no EFS issues etc.........
After reading all care to edit/correct what am I doing incorrect?
Thanks again.

I have seen people querying the Baidu folder before (i have it myself), it seems to be a folder left by ES file explorer, have you ever installed that? It doesnt seem to be anything malicious, although a lot people were spooked, thinking it was spyware of some sort.

Below is the command for flashing the userdata file via fastboot. If you have downloaded the fastboot image files, I think it basically pushes a blank file to overwrite/format the user data space/parition.
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64G.img
