Hi guys
I keep trying with my Nexus 5 but i cannot get it to work, i have tried both CWM and TWRP, i have tried every single 'AIO GUI' to do it, ive tried fastboot etc, every time it says 'writing' so i know that it is sending over the recovery, but going into recovery just shows me the dead android with the red exclamation mark.
Anyone else had trouble?

I am not exactly sure what happened, but I am stuck in the "Android system recovery <3e>" menu. I had unlocked the phone before and was trying to relock it and get it back to stock because the new update wouldn't install.
While the HTC update utility was installing the stock firmware, I think the cable came loose at some point because it stopped part way. Now it boots, shows the HTC logo, goes black and then eventually shows a phone lying down with a red triangle and an exclamation point. I can push vol+/power to get "Android system recovery" to show up, but that seems to be all. It says "Mount SDCARD failed".It will only boot to this menu. I cannot load the bootloader or anything else so I can't seem to use fastboot or adb and can't seem to copy any files onto the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it totally bricked?
Edit: doing a factory reset from recovery does nothing.
Edit2: Sorry!!! False alarm. After spending about an hour going back and forth with this and finally breaking down and posting about it on XDA, suddenly the bootloader DID appear. I have absolutely no idea what I did differently. I guess the 500th try was the charm. Reflashing stock now!
Sorry if this info is posted somewhere already, I searched and could not find my exact issue.
So, woke up this morning noticed Nexus 5 was off. So i turned it on and it will not load past the Google logo. It doesn't keep rebooting to it like others have said but just stays on the Google logo.
I can do the Volume down + power to get into what it says is the FASTBOOT MODE with the green robot on its back. However, selecting Recovery mode just takes me to a blank screen.
I have tried installing TWRP but it did not appear to work. The install said it failed the first time after a while, tried again and it said it worked. However still nothing when selecting Recovery.
Phone is Rooted with stock Android 4.4.4 no custom ROMs.
I appreciate any help.
If this doesn't work, any reviews on the new Moto X? Does it get the new updates right away also? Really do not want to get away from Stock Android.
Fastboot a system and see if that works

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you give me more detail than that please.
OK, i believe I fastbooted a system.img like suggested. However still nothing.
When trying to do a factory reset "erase userdata" on the phone it hangs up on "erasing..." So it wont even factory reset lol. sigh....
Apparently Google cant fix it either. Getting a new phone
Lol. Might as well unlock the bootloader straight away then before any data is put on

So today after a doctors appointment i checked my phone to see the time. when i got home my phone was stuck in the google screen. i waited for about one hour as i had to go some place else. when i came home the phone was still in the google screen. at this point i could still go in to recovery mode. i searched a bit on the internet and then flash+unroot from the nexus toolkit from the stock 5.0.1 that i had to the stock 5.1.1 . it still didn't open. i searched some more and I found that i needed to enter recovery mode and wipe everything off. i tried making a backup with the toolkit but it didn't work. then i tried going to recovery mode and it also didn't work. next i tried to flash a 4.4.4 version as i saw it worked from someone but it is stuck at the point "waiting for device" .
i don't know what to do. please help me fast , i need to leave town in 4 days and i don't have time to take it to service and i don't have a back up phone either.
your help would be much appreciated
edit: when i try to enter recovery now the phone shuts completely down
edit2: my nexus toolkit apparently didn't flash properly so atm i have no os on my phone. (it is confimed by a twrp recovey i booted with the nexus toolkit) i am currently struggling to find out how to install and os without recovery mode or toolkit, help would be appreciated
edit 3 : if anyone is reading this, i manage to boot a recovery image but it only shows an android robot with a red exclamation mark, i cant use adb commands, it says device not found, still don't know what to do
if i try to install os with a flash-all.bat it says failed remote flash write failure, same as with the nexus toolkit
if i try to wipe cache from the trwp recovery it says taht i cant mount any partition so i think my memory drive is busted
Hello, thank you for using XDA Assist.
Try asking for help HERE and the Nexus 5 experts will help you there.
My guess is that you need to unlock the bootloader to use the flashall.bat
Have Fun!
Hello,
I have an "ex-rooted" nexus 5 that I just yesterday tried factory resetting, however, it won't do that and just stays stuck at erasing for 15-30 minutes before the broken android shows up. Now, when I say ex-rooted I mean that I have either uninstalled supersu with the supersu app, or I've tried just flashed over the old rom. Alas, I have no recovery at all, when I choose recovery from the bootloader the screen goes black and it goes back to try erasing the phone.
I would have just flashed it, but this is where my problem comes in. My phone doesn't show up on my computer at all. I have the right drivers and such, even tried different ports and cables.
Anyone have any ideas? Sorry if I'm ****ty at explaining my problem
I'll be eternally grateful for any help whatsoever
Recovery it what it goes to in order to FDR so you must have a recovery apparently. You can't boot up at ALL I am guessing?

Hello,
I bought a new device and therefore wanted to factory-resent my Nexus 5 to give it to my wife.
I did it from within Android and then it restarted and stayed in the "Erasing..." screen for quite a while, then showed the dead robot with the "!" triangle sign, then rebooted and started "Erasing..." again, with apparently no way out.
I had unlocked bootloader and TWRP, but also booting the recovery went back into "Erasing..." mode.
I then tried to boot from an external TWRP iso image with fastboot from the PC. TWRP seemed to load, then started doing a bunch of things like formatting "something" (was too quick to read) and suddenly in a matter of second it was back to the robot but now without the "Erasing..." label anymore and now it's stuck there.
No idea what happened and how to fix and now I'm somewhat scared of trying something else.
Any idea?
Never mind... Flashed ALL stock images from fastboot (just userdata and cache didn't work) and it rebooted.
No idea what the problem was.
