Stuck at Google Logo - HELP

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..

[Q] Is it possible to boot to recovery from download mode?

OK, I have a GS3 here with a broken power button, which was causing all kinds of problems when the phone was running, and making it impossible for me to boot into recovery. I've physically removed the power button from the motherboard, and now I can boot the phone by holding volume down + home while plugging the phone into USB power. That gets me to Download mode, where I could just reboot to my ROM.
So that was fine, but I just made a booboo and when I was in recovery flashing a new ROM, I wiped Data instead of Dalvik, so now I have no ROM installed. I therefore have no way to reboot into recovery to fix the problem, the only thing I can boot to is Download mode.
So, is there a way to get to recovery mode from download mode? Some command in Odin or something? If not, I can still use Odin to flash it back to stock (pre-ML1 bootloader of course), re-root, flash a recovery, etc. but I'd rather avoid that if possible.

Answering my own question...
You can do this by booting in download mode (hold home and volume down while plugging in USB), then once you're in download mode, reboot (hit volume down button) and instantly hold down volume up and home. That gets you into recovery.

Manually flashed 6.0 stock images, but only get dead android for recovery

I have searched around but cannot find a solution. I can't seem to get a working recovery after flashing stock images with and without TWRP 2.8.7.1.
I followed these steps to upgrade to Android 6.0 after verifying the md5 checksum of my download:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead....img [it looks the same as before, but I did it anyway]
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead....img
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
....I have also tried with and without flashing cache
fastboot reboot
...then I go back into the bootloader and try to access recovery, but I only get the dead android with the red triangle.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a suggestion for a fix?
I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 7 (2013).

Hold down the Power button and press Volume Up.

When I see the dead android? When the phone is off? When the phone is booted into the system?

The dead Android means you have stock recovery installed. When you see the dead Android, hold down the power button and push the volume up then release and you will receive the stock recovery menu

Thanks for the description, but it didn't work. If I hold those buttons long enough, it just loops on the "Google" screen, and if I let go, it boots into the system.
After flashing other times, I have been able to either get the recovery menu or enter TWRP when I choose Recovery from the bootloader menu. Not this time though.

Well, I re-extracted the recovery.img file and flashed it - same problem. I decided to try flashing TWRP again. After flashing I rebooted the bootloader (probably not necessary), then chose Recovery and it booted TWRP like I normally expect.
Still not sure what is happening with the stock recovery. For now I don't have to worry - I'm getting my backup.

Sometimes it doesn't work right away, I keep switching between the volume buttons and it eventually pops up. Only need to tap the volume key, no need to hold it when at the dead Android.

Good luck

Getting into stock recovery from the dead android can be very tricky. As stated above, from the dead android screen, you want to hold the Power Button and press Volume Up quickly, then release. It sounds like you are holding the Power Button way too long which is causing it to do a reboot. I had the same issue the first few times.
Below is a video of someone doing it. On the video, he says to press volume up, volume down, and the power button at the same time until the recovery menu works. But, it is just the power button and volume up. The video will just show you how quickly to press the button combination.

I don't recall having any difficulty in the past, but I think I get it now. Thanks for the tips guys.

[Tutorial] Get rid of bootloader exception error

Hello everyone. This might be tutorial of how to get to download mode, when you flashed something the wrong way and have Bootloader exception error.
Don't forget to stay calm!​So, what you need to do?
1. Power on your phone (you will be stucked in bootloader exception screen)
2. Hold volume up + menu + power
a. If you have custom recovery (TWRP/CWM/idk...)
I. Find boot into download mode and done
b. If you don't have custom recovery (navigate via volume up, volume down, power buttons)
I. Find factory reset and wipe cache
II. Find reboot
3. Phone will be again stucked in bootloader exception
4. Normally, everyone will start to press volume down + home + power, but this will just loop the boortloader exception BUT, if you hold buttons long inought for the device to "reboot" 2 times, you should be brought into download mode.
5. If it does not work, just try again, again and again. You must be brought at least once into the download mode .
Hope this "guid/tutorial" will help you somehow.

Problem while rooting

I tried rooting my brand new Mate 9. I unlocked the bootloader, but the wipe that followed failed for some reason. In the eRecovery there's no option to Wipe Data / Factory Reset and when I try to log in at the start screen, the keyboard is not showing up, so I can't even log in. Tried wiping through ADB, but it doesn't even see the device. Any other way to wipe it, so I can proceed with installing TWRP and rooting this sucker. Thanks in advance!

You can boot to fastboot and flash twrp.
While the usb plugged in,hold volume down and power, when the phone vibrate remove power button and keep pressing volume down.
For stock recovery, remove the usb,hold volume up and power and when you see the logo, remove power and keep pressing volume up.
You can copy a keyboard apk on ur sd card and install when you are in the system,just skip the log in screens.

Thanks! I managed to install TWRP and boot to it to do a factory reset, thinking that it will resolve my login issue. Now I'm stuck in bootloop.
And if I try to boot into TWRP again by pressing Volume Up + Volume Down + Power it boots me into eRecovery that wants to perform an update, which after 5% fails saying: The update package does not exist.
So I can't even get back to TWRP nor the system.
Any advice to resolve this?

well to boot into recovery just use vol up+power and release once u see the huawei logo.btw when your factory reset fail during unlocking BL you can manually boot into the system and reset thru settings again.

Never do factory reset via twrp. It does not support huawei's data partition.
To avoid bootloop, just flash stock recovery and do factory reset with it. You need flash additional stock zips to restore additional apps and themes.

I had exactly the same problem as you. After rooting and start wipe, the factory reset seems had not finished well and the phone booted to lock screen with password field, but without keyboard...
Only procure that worked for me was rebranding the phone and installing another full room using Funky Huawei. Yes I know it is a paid service but I believe you will be happy to know it can help you.
Good luck
