Stuck at Google Logo - HELP - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys, I'm in a bit of a panic with my Nexus.
Looked in my pocked yesterday and the phone was randomly in a boot loop, just getting up to the google logo, then rebooting.. this was weird as the phone was working throughout the day. The day before I had installed Faux v5 (and I have cataclysms rom)..
Followed the instructions from [TUTORIAL] How to flash a factory image | Return to stock | Unroot your Nexus 5
to rever to stock image.
I run the flash-all.bat (using method 1 from Post1), which seems to complete successfully (writes to the device and it reboots a few times), but after this the phone gets stuck at the Google logo,
I cant get to the final two steps (which is wipe data/factory data reset), because in the step before where I select recovery, it just boots back to the google logo - no recovery. It will stay there all day, unless I hold power & volume down, then I can get back to the bootloader.
Since this failed (I have flashed the flash-all batch twice using different usb ports... but no joy.
If I run the fastboot device info, - it correctly shows my bootloader is unlocked...
I have tried to relock it, but hit the same problem, (if I run the fastboot boot c:\twrp.img etc) - it just wont boot into a recovery..
I am at a loss.. any help would be greatly appreciated...
I have also tried flashing a custom recovery (twrp & cwm), and I have the same problem with both.. they flash, but then I can get to the bootloader, but cant launch a recovery.. just gets stuck in a bootloop...
THANKS!

reboot bootloader (power + vol down)
go into recovery (the red triangle)
open up the recovery menu (power + vol up)
wipe cache

The problem I am having is I cant get into recovery.
I get into fastboot mode, I then hit volume up twice (to change from start > to recovery >).
I then hit power. But instead of a red! I get the Google Logo.. and I am back where I started.
Volume up & power does nothing, all I can do is Vol down & power, then I am back at the bootloader.. no recovery..

i had tried the following steps
1) going to Settings>Privacy>Reset phone
after i confirm to wipe everything, the phone rebooted and it will stuck at the "Google" logo (in words) with the fastboot unlock logo at the bottom. i took off the battery to shutdown the phone (anything i press at this moment does not get any response from the phone) and start it up again. once it is started (it get pass the google word logo if i do it this way) all my application and even my themes are still there
2) shutting down the phone. press volume up + power button. choose recovery

Make sure to update it eventually because you could run into issues when flashing stuff if your recovery isn't up to date.
No problem!

[Q] Rooted, bad recovery, and stuck in bootloop

I scoured the forums, but have not been able to find out what I can do to solve my problem. So here it is.
I rooted my phone (to play around with some settings, what have you) and flashed TWRP recovery onto it. I got an error msg when booting up, so I decided to push an original recovery back onto the phone, because it wouldn't go to TWRP. I followed a guide (which I can't find now) to push back a stock version of recovery and it failed. My phone would boot normally just fine, but when I tried to go to recovery it would loop.
The OTA update came today, and dumbass me pressed continue (not thinking) and now I am stuck in a boot loop, and cannot get out of it.
Cannot get into recovery.
Cannot get into download mode.
Got any ideas?
Thanks
Same Problem
I have pretty much the same problem. Please help!
well without recovery/download mode working or the phone being in fastboot mode there really isn't much that can be done, you can always try to claim on warranty
boot loop
So, let me get this straight. If it failed when you tried to install the stock recovery, then you still have the TWRP recovery right?
I ran into a boot loop problem earlier when I tried upgrading TWRP. I just couldn't access my recovery so here is what I tried:
Code:
Turn your phone off.
Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
Let go of both buttons
Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
Try the steps above and see if you can get into a recovery. Once you do maybe try resetting. Hope that helps.

[Q] only LG logo not booting till even CWM Recovery in P500

Hi,
My p500 phone is just showing LG logo on power up and gets blank after few seconds. I tried all combination volume, power, home keys.
It's not even getting detected by PC. Actually its not reaching to boot loader and stuck before that.
To achieve this situation what I did :
1. I wanted to flash new 4.4.2 ver 12 with this thread.
2. I wiped all data, cache , etc.
3. I tried to update CWM Recovery v6.0.4.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564767 from v6.0.4.6.
4. During the installation I pulled out battery by mistake.
5. I rebooted the phone and it got stuck to blank screen after on LG logo screen.
Please suggest something.
I know phone doesn't have any data, rom and CWM recovery (corrupted) and not even boot leader.
Also adb is not able to detect as it's not booting till PC can detect a device.
I am sure it's not hard bricked
Please help , how can at least boot so that adb can detect.
Thanks,
Devesh
Solved
That's how it worked :
1. I pressed a magical combination (dont remember ) :
a. Up volume + back key + power key while inserting battery
or
b. Up down+ back key + power key while inserting battery
which game emergency mode. And that was enough for me.
2.Then, I used standard method to flash recovery and image see here
3. I flashed finally cwm v6.0.4.8 with kitkat 4.4.2.
and it worked

[Q] Moto G (Asia Region) Boot looping at bootloader. What to do?

Guys, I just gained root access to my phone 5 days ago, yesterday I installed custom recovery (TWRP - openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-xt1032). I think my device is XT1033. After that i tried to install xposed framework by installing it through the recovery and then my phone started to boot loop at the bootloader warning. My phone can access the fastboot menu. From there when i try to access recovery it just shows the logo of TeamWin followed by a black screen and then directs me to the bootloader warning message as usual and keeps looping. Also when I hit the factory reset button it tends to boot loop at the boot loader warning message.
The attachment shows the window it loops.
Please help me. Is my phone over?
Hey dont worryy. Just use philz recovery 6.55.0. That is best as twrp donot support xt1033.
Then in that just clear cache and dalvik cache. And try to reboot. If it does its good. If not then just flash any other rom using otg (usb ) if u dont want to lose any data.
Edit- to flash recovery. Press the power key for like 10 sec until the phone reboot. And black screen comes up. Then quickly press power and volume down key for 3-4 sec to go itno fastboot mode. Then flash the philz recovery ( search for it in original android development or google it) and flash it.

Installing custom recovery (CM12.1, 5.1.1.)

XDA,
I am trying to root the stock rom (Cyanogen OS 12.10YOG4PAS1N0). I have thus far managed to unlock the bootloader and am now trying to install a custom recovery - here I run into some problems:
So I downloaded the latest TWRP and renamed it recovery.img - pressed 'fastboot erase recovery' and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' -all going fine.
I then unhook the phone, turn it off - press volume down and the power button to boot straight into recovery (not even booting OS) and here's where it gets interesting:
The 1+ logo appears, as if its trying to boot recovery - it hangs for 10s, then the screen goes black and it vibrates. The 1+ logo appears again and it boots straight into OS.
If I keep pressing volume down I am in a loop like this, with 1+ logo, screen black and so on.
So I never actually get into the custom recovery. And if I boot into the OS and press restart into recovery: I get stock recovery.
I've tried CWM. TWRP, Philz, the toolkit, manually - lots of things. I turned off overwrite custom recovery in the developer options - all to no avail.
I hope someone recognizes this problem and can help me out.
Thanks a million,
Michiel.
Not sure if this is your issue, but go to this thread on how to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root. See the note in underline at the bottom of item #2, installing the custom recovery. I was unable to get TWRP to stick until I followed this simple method.
Yes, I tried this but when I power the phone down and boot it with the powerbutton and volume button - it hangs on the OPO logo and reboots again into the OS.
