N5 stopped working - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had my n5 for 2 weeks and when I tried to turn it in this morning it got stuck on boot. Anyone else had that problem? I contacted lg and I send it in for repair.

You mean stuck on the Google boot screen or the boot animation screen? Either way you could've fixed it using adb to restore to stock using factory image, the tool kit, or simply go to your recovery and wipe data/ factory reset. You didn't have to send it back to lg if you can still access fastboot and do any of the method above.

You had to start a new thread for this? Why not use the existing RMA thread?
Sent from my Nexus 5

Because I was mad and didn't think! That's why I opened a new thread sorry.
Just wanted to know if others had problems like it.
No I'm not a noob ,
My N5 was not rooted and will not be.
Thanks for the qualifying and unqualified answers.

Is the crack on the whole screen? Do you have a case,accessories, etc? Or is it just phone and charger?

If you were planning to fix it the LCD and digitizer cost $177 . You can buy just the top glass for $10 but the old one is fused on with clear rubber cement. Tried replacing just top glass and it didn't work.

Unlock sign?

Ok I've read this before but can't find the answer now, I've rebooted my phone which is still stock, not rooted yet, turned my phone off then on, and it came on with a unlock sign? I've done nothing special yet why would my phone all of a sudden do this my phone is new since launch it was a pre-order, I've turned it off and on before this never happen before.any ideas?

My device did this bone stock aswell...not sure why. Normally you will get a custom unlock screen after rooting with odinand flashing a recovery thru ez recovery on a locked bootloader. the fix, unlock your bootloader.
no I didn't do nothing that's why it's so weird I'm not even rooted,I have all the tools but haven't done it yet.

@Darkmind don't see the issue cuz pictures r not clear enough or enlarged enough on each screen but the one on the left is normal, just can't see what the one on the right says (sorry) also more description would be nice
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
The right one is the bootloader, but yeah, cant really tell the important info such as hboot etc.
But how is it bricked? what does it do? What doesnt work etc?
Generally though, if you can get into bootloader you can fix the device, but theres always some exceptions.
AW: Could this phone be repaired ?
It's an service offered on eBay an the owner said that some update went wrong. In my opinion it's totally fixable I add 2 zoomed pics

Honestly they probably forgot to fast boot the kernel. Just run a RUU (After you relock the bootlaoder) and request for the Unlock_code.bin from the seller.

Don't anyone take this the wrong way including the OP, we night need to instruct in newb terms just so he can get this done.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
From the look of it, all you need to do is flash a recovery(TWRP), flash a rom, fastboot flash the boot.img and you should be good to go.
How to perform each step is listed in several guides already.

[Q] soft bricked

I don't have much time have to ship back my phone to verizon soon. I rooted my phone and installed a cwm so i can transfer my game data to my replacement and i unrooted and i was trying to flash a stock verizon rom so that everything was factory before shipping it and now its stuck on bootload loop. I need some help quick.
Pull battery then boot into stock recovery and perform factory reset.

If you didn't mod the system files then the original owner did. To resolve, flash stock factory 4.4.2 images. If you did a factory reset when you got the phone, and don't want to start over, flash the img files one at a time with fastboot (excluding userdata.img).
If you don't know how to do that, check out the stickies (I think in general). There is a very detailed thread there.
The phone was brand new when I got it. I believe it said update ready for download when I did the factory reset.. Now it just says that..

you can take the ota update through wi-fi only...
no need to reset. but i prefer to do it to prevent any system app from crashing and to have a fresh firmware.
All you had to do was connect to wifi. That update required you to do that. "Via wifi only".

Oh. Thats odd, but I guess you got it working, so thats good.
Your screen shot shows that your not connected to Wi-Fi. It says you have to be connected to Wi-Fi to update.
