[Q]Stuck at Erasing Data, Need Help![Q] - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Went out today and purchased a new phone planning to give my Nexus 5 to my sister. Get home and start to do a factory data reset on my Nexus 5 and it's stuck on erasing data, where it has now been for the last 30 minutes. I am running the latest version of Android 4.2.2, the phone was functioning without issue before this.
I have tried getting into the recovery menu, it doesn't work, I have tried powering off, it just restarts. I have even plugged the charger in but it's doing the same.
Really need some help guys, Mike.
UPDATE ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S COME BACK TO LIFE. SORRY GUYS PLEASE DELETE THREAD MODS.

Pull the battery connect ot pc via usb then press power n volume keys to reboot to recovery then wipe all and reflash or reinstall backup.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? And do you have an unlocked bootloader?
Which image you used to install? Try the full OTA one for your phone model from the link in my sig.
Also do a full wipe before flashing.
Thanks, I went back into bootloader and I went to reset to factory specs but instead i think it cleaned my phone of my information and then when rebooted, went into ICS easily, Love the OS but I am not getting a wireless signal. I read one post where someone was running a gingerbread radio so now I am seeing how to do that

[Q] Phone won't boot

I've been having spontanious reboot problems where my charge would reboot and get stuck in a boot loop freezing on the droid eye animation and rebooting. In the past I've been able to clear the delvic cache and regular cache and get the phone to boot and go back to working order. Today however, clearing cache didn't work. Thinking this was a software problem, I connected the phone to oden and flashed the stock software ED1. I was planning to install back to EP5 and redo Tweaked 3.2 since the phone had developed a lot of lag.
Now the phone gets to the droid eyebll and stays there. Every so often the animation freezes for a second or two then continues. Is the phone dead? Can it be brought back to life so that I can use it while I figure out a new phone. I'm asking because this is my only smartphone and I'm now stuck activating my old chocolate flip

Why all the way back to ED1? Do you have everything backed up in case you need to flash with the pit file?

No, the phone is not dead, it is a bit lag.

[Q] Nexus 5 factory reset fail - red triangle / erasing

Hey there, I have an interesting problem with my nexus 5.
Since the update to 5.0 (sideload) the phone was laggy and not responding well.
I waited for the 5.0.1 OTA, hoping that it would solve the problem. It got better, but the performance still didn't feel right.
I decided to do a factory reset today, which seems to have failed somehow...
I chose the option through the settings menu, the phone powered off and the erase android came up.
The erase was on for approx 10 minutes, then the red triangle android came up. While I was checking for solutions on google, the phone went back to erase and is stuck there now since approx 30 minutes - not sure if I missed a repetition of the above in between.
I couldn't find anything matching in the search - please let me know if anyone has seen it before and/or knows a solution.
Thank you!!
Edit:
Problem solved - I forced reboot a few times and at one point it booted as normal.
No idea what caused the problem - anyway, it is back to life.
Sorry for the panic - close,please...

[Completed] CM12.1 Nightlies Stuck in bootloop

I've been using Cyanogenmod 12.1 Nightlies for a bit over a month, only problem I've had so far is that it would randomly turn off (which I noticed other users have been experiencing). 2 or 3 days after the Snapchat update, I go to use the app, but it turned my phone off. I thought "Okay, this has happened before" so I try getting on Snapchat again. Same thing happens. So I just decide not to use Snapchat. Yesterday morning, my phone just shut off from a calculator app and I had around 73% battery, so I try turning it back on but it won't boot past the second Cyanogenmod logo. The only way to get it to boot is to plug it into my computer and use it, as it turns off as soon as I unplug it and gets me stuck in a bootloop. I backed everything up because I noticed this is a major issue right now, and my phone may be bricked. Now, there's a 1/5 chance that it will boot all the way to my homescreen while plugged in, but using any camera app kills it. It will boot into recovery and download mode. What do I do?
Edit: Forgot to mention I was using a Samsung Galaxy S III d2att
Just tried factory resetting/wiping cache/wiping dalvik cache. Still not going past cyanogenmod logo. Still unsure as to what the problem is. Desperately need help. Thanks.

[Completed] Phone doesn't turn on/stuck in bootloop

Need suggestions for this.
A few weeks ago I rooted my phone to remove some apps that I never used. I just kept using my phone as always and did nothing special except removing those apps. Today I decided to unroot my phone because I felt it would be safer in case anything should happen to it (HOW IRONIC). It's only 3 months old and I didn't want to loose my warranty. I opened the SuperUser app and clicked full unroot and clicked continue. My phone instantly returned to the home screen and then powered off. Then it turned on again, but now the message "Samsung Galaxy S7 powered by Android" keeps flashing on the screen. I went into recovery mode and tried wiping the cache first, but nothing changed. Then I wiped all my data and did a factory reset, but my phone keeps flashing and won't turn on. I'm really desperate and don't know what to do because I'm afraid I can't take it to my retailer because my phone is rooted (if it still is rooted, but I have no idea). What should I do?
