[Q] Imp:Phone wont start up.PLS HELP - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So i decided to install NOVA launcher and kept it as default launcher.
No when i wanted to go back to google launcher the system was getting crashed and some error like : "systemui" is not working was poping up.
Meanwhile i was getting notifications of whatsapp messenger and i could use it but when i was trying to exit the app , again the problem occured.
Thats when i decided to reboot the phone to my bad luck it is not going further after "FOUR CIRCLES(red,green,yellow and blue) which comes after google logo.
I had previously owned S2 and when i used nova launcher and tried to switch back ( aftr uninstalling nova) it automatically use to use google launcher.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
V

If it won't boot you may have to fastboot the factory image can you get into recovery and do you have a custom recovery If so try clearing cache in it

I need you to answer a few questions before anyone can help...
Do you have a custom recovery installed? (Eg. TWRP or CM?)
- If not, are you rooted?
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery?
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty?
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone.
Basically, if you have a custom recovery installed or are not rooted with warranty, don't panic.
In not an advanced user but I know done stuff... And there's always a way!

Gave good 10 + mins
Will try it one more time.I guess it should hardly take about 30 secs or so.

Oh, and also, see if you can fastboot by pressing the power button and volume down whilst booting up. If you can't, then try pressing power button + volume up + volume down whilst booting up.

- If not, are you rooted? NO
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery? NO,I dont mind if my data is lost
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty? YES,but now i stay in different country.so count it as NO
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone. have been using since 2 months
Basically, if you have a custom recovery installed or are not rooted with warranty, don't panic.

I can do that , it is showing me options over there like recovery,poweroff,bootloader recovery,etc.

If factory reset doesn't work then you option is to flash the factory image. Have you unlocked the bootloader?

This is probably why it crashed. Your phone doesn't have a launcher to boot into. That's the reason it is boot looping. As mentioned earlier, you'll have to flash the factory image.

Yea, i feel the same. I forgot it was google launcher and its a nexus phone.
If it would have been some other trebuche launcher(like in samsung) , this problem would'nt have persisted.

That is the stock recovery. You can press both volume buttons at the same time, to show the recovery options.
Flashing the factory image is very easy. You put your phone in fastboot mode, plug it into your computer, and simple run the Flashall.bat (or .sh depending on your OS.)
Touchwiz Home in Samsung devices does not rely on google search. Our Nexus has a launcher that requires google search to run. Otherwise you can install AOSP launcher.

@vzuwOw if you run into this problem again just fastboot flash the system.img, not the flash-all.bat. it would have kept the rest of your settings and you wouldn't have to redo your while phone.

GT-P5113 Factory reset

I want to reset my tablet due to I'm going to be selling it. I've unrooted it, but SpuerSU is still on the system. I've gone into the backup and reset and selected factory reset and it asks for a PIN number, which I thought I knew, but I guess I don't cause it doesn't like anything I type in.
I have also booted holding power and volume up/right. I get a warning menu about pressing left to flash new rom or right to cancel...
What do I do? I want to reload this to like the day I unboxed it...
Thanks,.
No one has any knowledge of this????

Based on it asking for a pin number it sounds like you setup a pin at some point. I run a pin number on my superSU but I'm not sure what happens when you forget the pin number.
I know inside supersu there's an option for full unroot.
Maybe message chainfire the dev of it. I looked at it just now and there's nothing that comes up if you forget the pin number

If you're not able to go past the Google screen, Switch off the phone and then Press and Hold down the Power Button+vol down button till you feel a vibrate.. The bootloader will open... Use the volume buttons and navigate to Recovery and and then press the power button to go into the recovery... You can perform a factory reset from there...
But, if you aren't able to access the recovery and as you are fully stock, there isn't much you can do about it...
You could try unlocking the bootloader and then performing a factory flash but since it's fully stock you can RMA it...

Since you are on 100% stock, I think your emmc (flashchip) got faulty like in many other nexus 5 bootloop topic around in xda.
But you can try to reflash the factory images again. Read the first 3-4 sticky thread in the general forum.

Do what Mr Stunts says. If it's new and that doesn't work, and it should, take it back. You shouldn't need to be unlocking this and that just to get a new phone up and running.

Well, I don't think there's anything you could do.. If the eMMC is fried, motherboard needs to be replaced..

I also have bricked my M8

So I was playing around trying to get Sound MOD to work(dont ask me y..I was bored) And I have bricked my phone. I am stuck on the white HTC screen the one at the begining of the boot..the one that says this build is for development purposes..blah blah. and it is just stuck there. Adb wont find device or nothing..I am truly screwed..yes?
Well, ADB wouldn't be able to do anything at that point anyway. It's not fully booted, or in the bootloader.
Have you tried powering it off, and booting to the bootloader? From there recovery, do a factory reset, and see if it boots then?

So you've tried doing a factory reset, and afterwards it still just gets stuck during boot? And do you mean it boots back to the HTC boot screen after restoring an image and rebooting, or you select "Restore image" (or whatever) and it instantly reboots and gets stuck?

It is impossible for me to flash a rom. Cant get into a recovery to do it.
Ok so update: I was SOMEHOW able to get into recovery(TWRP) but no matter what i try to do it just reboots back into recovery..any ideas?
EDIT: gonna try verizon RUU. Fingers crossed
Just a thought here. TWRP can install from USB. I have flashed from a thumbdrive in the past on an S3. You may be able to do same. I know this is a shot in the dark but may help.
Will it just sit at the recovery screen or does it boot before you touch anything? If it will sit at the TWRP main screen you should be able to boot into hboot via adb and try a reflash of twrp or CWM. Your recovery may be corrupt.
You're definitely not bricked. You're catching breaks left and right.

Would a moderator kindly close this thread as I have fixed my problem. Thank you!
After toying around with it for HOURS! Somehow I was able to get it to boot into hboot. Which from there was ablt to fastboot an RUU and profit! Funny thing is I had already made a claim with the Big Red V. Called them back to say that I had found my phone...too late claim already in..lol. Now I have a brand new phone on its way and a mini-tab and dev device I guess..lol

have you tried unlocking the bootloader? maybe try to unlock it then flash the factory img. or you can try unlocking it, flash a custom recovery, superuser, and a rooted stock rom(maybe this will work for you?)

OK but you Flash the images whilst in the bootloader mode. What does a frozen bootloader look like? What was the output error message when you used fastboot to flash the factory image?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
i have unlocked bootloader after couple of tries because phone kept on freezing even in bootloader mode. but as soon as i put phone in bootloader mode, it freezes. everything was fine before 4.4.3 OTA update. phone shouldn't freeze in bootloader mode. i think that 4.4.3 update has also corrupted recovery.

it looks like that nothing is working, neither touch nor physical buttons. i can't change options with volume button. i.e. start, recovery, etc etc. u know what i mean. once in bootloader, one can change the options via volume buttons but i can't. on pressing the power button, phone restarts.

Boot to bootloader. Connect USB. Fastboot flash full factory images. If there is an error. Tell us what it is. If you cannot flash the full factory image, you'll need to send it for repair

Boot to bootloader. Connect USB. Fastboot flash full factory images. If there is an error. Tell us what it is. If you cannot flash the full factory image, you'll need to send it for repair

Try and boot into your "backup" bootloader. You can get into this by holding Volume Down AND Volume Up AND Power. You'll notice it is different bootloader because the bootloader version is different from the one you get if you just hold volume down and power.
Maybe that will work?

Bootloop after flashing TWRP

I wanted to install a custom Rom on my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0 so I downloaded TWRP latest and unlocked the Bootloader and installed TWRP.
Now the OS doesn't boot up anymore and the TWRP starts but gets rebooted all the time, and TWRP does not seem to be able to mount anything. When it reboots it looks like it automatically goes to the TWRP where it says it is running OpenRecoveryScript but it is unable to mount anything. I tried a boot start to Recovery and it worked but when I tried a factory reset it says the same thing.
I'm worried my phone will die and have further issues, I need help as soon as possible.

I get a message that says "Factory Reset Complete... Failed".
Is there a solution to this?

What factory reset? You should wipe everything except internal storage

Was the reset done from recovery mode or when the ROM had been booted to the desktop?

In fastboot mode, try this: fastboot erase userdata, fastboot erase cache, and reboot the phone.
No way, my hammerhead only reboots 4ever

1 Year later I face the same trouble : My Nexus 5 Hammerhead looks like bricked after twrp 3.0.2 flash
No way to stop the infinite boot loop, quickly the recovery mode, fast boot and Google logo flash before my eyes without giving me any chance to reflash or do absolute nothing !
buaaaahhh ahhhhh .... And I renewed 2 weeks ago with a brand new battery and flex cable buaaaaaa
Could the rebooting be due to a bad power button?

It could be, indeed that was my first thought as time ago it used to happen. But I've been trying as a maniac the not less maniac solution of hitting it softly and spasmodically as it turns on, but no success. Such solution it used to work, now it does not.
Currently, desperation makes me think of desperate (probably fool) solutions like unplug the battery to see if that so called "cache" wipes My lovely hammerhead currently open .....but does not look better

Ok, it looks like a f******* and annoying incredible coincidence, right after the flash, the power button arises !! BUT my last test looks like that's the problem :: While rebooting forever, I just keep the VolumeDOWN button pressed and it tries to enter the fast boot menu, as it the power certainly already pressed.
Now that I have the hammerhead open, I'll google to seek how to consistently fix that annoying problem.

Hammerhead sticky power button SOLVED
Thanks a lot for your answer. I managed my self thru it yesterday, using mainly these 2 YouTube videos

doPuXkQTGbc
(Sorry for the partial link; not allowed to post external urls)
Which basically explain about opening the Nexus 5 Hammerhead, get right to the damn sticky power button, clean it right and manipulate it a little bit with a lady tweezers in order to "unstick" it.
I've already mange thru these nearly 3 years to keep my great hammerhead alive ! Replacing its flex cable, battery, now manipulating the sticky button ....I do not know how much life is left for it but GOD SAVE THE HAMMERHEAD !
Thanks to you all
