hi people,
i am a new member of this forum so i can't yet post in "development area".
lt
i hope i can have the answer of my question in general area.
yesterday i update the last CM11 nyghtly and then i flash franco kernel. the result?? a BRUTAL bootloop.. nexus 5 was blocked on google logo.
in the cm11 thread lot's of other users have the same problem.. (only with last cm11 nightly)
i was unable to shutdown nexus 5 and i was unable to do everything..no recovery,no nothing!!! so the solution (for me) was to wait until the battery was totaly discharged. then i charge battery a little bit and then i went into recovery mode and fix everything flashing an old cm11 nyghtly.
the question is: the only solution in this case is this? when i am in a brutal bootloop, that doesn't allow me to do anything, i can only wait for total battery discarge?? is there any other method to enter in recovery or to shot down nexus?
p.s. i think that when the display shows google logo adb is not usable. but i am not so sure about that.
pps sorry if my english is not so perfect..:cyclops:

Hold Power + Volume down during several seconds to reboot into the bootloader then you can flash Factory Images or enter into the recovery mode.
power+voldown wasn't working too.. nexus was completly locked. i was unable to do anything. no recovery, no shutdown..the only solution was to attend the discharging of battery

You have to wait around 10s. Is it what you did?
Well I don't mean to mock you here but it is very unlikely that the power button holding doesn't work.
I mean it's baked in even before the bootloader so if that isn't working then you have something seriously wrong with your phone!

I am not the owner of this phone.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 that was rooted using a "teamviewer" like program by a customer and an outside source. After root was "successful" the rom was flashed and the phone rebooted and shut down (as customer recalls it). This phone is running 4.08 on a wall charger through a volt meter and the battery is reading the same if not a bit less. The vibrate during start up does not occur and the lights for charging are not lit up. Any help towards getting this figured out please let me know. Appreciate the help in advance
Well when you pull the battery and put it back and then try to hold volume up, home and power dies it do anything?
Also, when plugged into pc does it ask for any drivers? I'm betting your customer installed an international version ROM and it's hard bricked.
Sent from my SCH-I535
I had already done what you mentioned and the forums were my last resort haha. It does ask for drivers but I had to find the download for them and am currently trying to run the phone through adb devices but it is seeming like it wont pick it up.
What us the driver name and with the button combo did it respond?

Just to be clear, you are trying to get it to download/recovery mode from the phone being powered off right? It won't get there when its powered on and stuck at "Galaxy S III" screen. Pull the battery and hold down the button combinations until you see "Samsung" with small blue text in the upper left hand corner and as soon as the screen goes black, release the buttons.
It almost sounds like they installed a rom that needed the bootloader workaround.. in which case I'd be stumped at what's needed then, jtag...?
What rom was flashed? Any way you could provide a link or recall its name?

Specifically, what rom was it? Sounds to me that a I9300 rom was flashed. If that's the case, the phone is hard bricked. You need a JTAG to fix it.
I have a really bad problem with my nexus s i9023. (I read threads but nothing is like my problem)
After i installed cm7 with the trinity kernel, i oc it to 1544MHz.
Suddenly the screen was black and now i can't start it
When i press the power button, there are no vibration or the "google" symbol :crying:
Please help me i would be very thankful! ...and sorry for my bad english
Can you boot into bootloader and recovery? That is, after a doing a battery pull, can you boot by pressing the power button and volume up button simultaneously?

This might be too advanced for you, but if you're really desperate, you can try the solution in this thread. Haven't tried it myself but if you just follow the instructions, it might help you resurrect your phone. Good luck!

My case is just like your. I'm starting to think mine is burned something. Tragic.
Have a nearby technician check it up for you just to make sure. It "might" just be a battery problem, who knows. They got the tools to test it
okay i would do that
but the phone is just a year old and i had never problems with the battery :/ maybe my processer overheat or something?? because i overclocked it
i flashed the latest nightly of AOKP today and then restored all my apps and data with titanium backup. When the restore was complete it prompted me to reboot my device so i did. ever since then i have been unable to reboot my phone as it is stuck on the start up screen. i then tried to restore from a backup of my other rom and then found out that i couldn't boot into the boot loader as when i held down the power and + volume button the startup would begin and then the phone would turn off. any ideas on how to fix this.
What it's happening is your stuck in a boot loop.
When you are holding power and volume down the phone is only interested in the power button part. Which is why it's powering off.
Just keep the buttons held both power and volume down. When it powers off keep them held and you should come into the bootloader

Not sure if the quote is a typo or not, but it should be power and - volume. You can also try power and both volume buttons, which will take you to the secondary boot loader.

I assumed the op was able to completely power down by just continuing to hold the power button and possibly had the wrong button combo.
What do you mean by start up screen?
You see the screen tells you "Google" and it stays there?

Hold your power button down for 30 to 60 seconds. You should be powered down. Then try to get into the boot loader. Vol down + power. Dues it get into bootloader?

Hi guys.
Sorry for bumping but I have the same issue and for me it wasn't fixed by going in recovery mode. I already tried deleting cash, and even tried getting back to factory settings. But still, when i restart the phone, the same loop keeps occuring.
At first it always just went to 'google' and then rebooted and rebooted. Now it just keeps stuck with the google logo (the 4 colour image).
Could someone help me possibly?
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Try LG flashtool. Link in my signature. If you have the 32GB version of the american nexus 5 (D820) you can use the converted firmware without any problem. It was tested numerous time.
You can also try to reflash stock google rom in fastboot mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
If you are using LG flashtool and you get error about cant format userdata and/or cache or by checking the flashing log you see timeout errors then your phone have a fauilty emmc. If you are using the fastboot method and you see "remote: flash write failure" text in the CMD window then you have fauilty emmc. Your only option is to rma your phone if bought from google or claim your warranty from LG if your phone is not from Google and you have the receipt of your phone.
Hey Guys!
So I had Cyanagonmod on my Nexus 5 for quiete a while now. But yesterday my phone suddenly turned off. I've tried to boot it but all it does is showing me the Google-Logo and the "Unlocked"-Logo for a second and it reboots again and I see the same thing.
Important:
1. It only boots if it is connected via USB (Wallcharger, or connected to PC)
2. If I try to boot in the Bootloader through pressing the volume buttons + the power button it just reboots after a second and the google logo appears again
3. the computer doesn't recognize the phone even though it's connected
-> I already tried to fix the problem with the Nexus 5 Toolkit but as I said the PC doesn't even know that it's connected.
PLEASE HELP ME!
I thank you for your answers and your support!:good:
Sounds to me like your power button is stuck. If you have a case, take it off. Then try mashing the power button a number of times.

by press power button + volume down, how you are supposed to. theres no key combo to get into your recovery, you go into the bootloader then press recovery. if your power button is stuck, then the moment you enter the bootloader, it gets pressed down to boot up normally.

Still nothing. After doing it, the google logo appears and it boots to the system. Unable to turn it off...
Is your battery life suddenly abysmal, too? I am facing the same problem. I suspect franco kernel, cause I am stock plus franco.
​ Battery drain is ok. In my opinion it's Franco kernels' fault. But there's literally nothing we can do...
Try adb reboot recovery?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I could get into recovery:
Reboot with the normal reboot menu in Android, but hold Vol+ and Vol-. When the device reboots, you get into bootloader, from there into recovery.
Just reflashed my system.img and boot.img from stock to uninstall franco.
Will report back.
PS: Also had Lightflow installed, anyone else?
EDIT: This solved the reboot problem. If the battery drain is fixed I can only tell after a day or so.
EDIT2: Seems that the drain has also been fixed. Not completely sure yet.
EDIT3: Yeah, definitely solved. Will stay away from custom kernels for now.
Thanks man! You the best for sure sth is wrong with Franco, not sure about other kernels. Be aware guys! Think I'll stick to the stock kernel for a while...
