Nexus 5 stuck in boot loop and cant access boot loader

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.

If the phone is turned on and you press both volumes and power keys then you get qhusb mode

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.

So I was given a TF300T broken screen. I replaced the screen and had about 10 white dots all over the screen.
Cold restarted no love the white dots where still there and screen cal was out.

You clicked wipe data?
Look up Buster's recovery script in the general section and try that.

Have you tried buster99's recovery scripts?

Yup tried busters scripts... Every time I enter a command it always stays at " waiting for device" and never does anything
So I have to restart the cmd prompt to try next line or try same line again.
Is this right

Do you have access to fastboot or recovery terminal command or not?

in short no I don't think so. when it boots it.goes as follows:
A:
Press power (or power and Down)
ASUS logo appears together with Your device is unlocked (in top left)
Then goes to screen with robot and progress bar as if restoring, where it freezes after 20 sec

Ah OK. Sounds like it has a file cached that it is trying to flash. Unfortunately without fastboot we can't attempt to wipe it.

NEXUS 5 Stuck on erasing...

Got this nexus 5 unit and trying to fix here, when I try to unlock the bootloader they stuck on this
what should I do?

Yes, erasing can take a lot of time sometimes. I wouldn't suggest you to terminate the operation.. Wait for another 15 mins and see if it gets erased.. If not, start over. Don't forget to reboot bootloader...

Have you tried rebooting recovery (power button/volume down)?

What do you mean by the recovery won't work?? What happens when you select Recovery from the bootloader??
To sum it up, here's your scenario..
Stuck in bootloop, Can't access recovery, can't unlock bootloader as it gets stuck on "erasing"..
I don't think you have much of a choice m8 other than RMA'ing it.. You need access to the recovery or to "unlocked" bootloader if you want to fix anything.

Let me explain, I enter in recovery mode, and I get the options : restart bootloader, recovery mode, power off, and start, it is that recovery mode that I told you that not work, the phone becomes ON but whith black screen, and if I power of and power on again, GOOGLE logo in white appear on the center of the screen and stays stuck on that

Yeah, I got what you meant the first time you explained...
Getting stuck on Google Logo means a bootloop..
Since, you can't access recovery and also unlock the bootloader, you're out of options.. I can't think of anyway to fix this.
My advice would be to switch off the phone.. Let it cool down for 15 mins.. reboot your computer or use another computer.. Try to unlock the bootloader now or try accessing the recovery.. If you still can't, I would RMA it..

Might i suggest flashing the stock google images again, a simple search in the forum or on google will help you with that, they come with a flash-all file that will do all the work for you. just need to download the files to be able to do it and will need to be in bootloader mode for the stock images to flash

[q] [help]nexus 5 stuck. 5.0.1. Stuck while booting.

Hey there,
I am Nexus 5 user. Recently I updated my phone to Lolipop 5.0.1. At first the phone worked fine. A few days later the background apps started restarting. That was still manageable. A week back the phone started restarting. So I read about in a Google Forum, it advised to delete partition cache from the 'Recovery Mode' . I did so. It worked and phone stopped restarting. Now a week later the problem started again. So I wiped partition cache. But during the process the battery ran out and the phone switched off.
Now when I try to switch on the phone, the Google logo appears and then the phone freezes in the boot animation.
The phone boots into bootloader(power button + volume up + volume down), but when I try to get into Recovery Mode, an android is displayed with a red exclamation mark.
The bootloader is locked, so I can't flash the original image.
Need help to get the phone back.
Additional info about the device:
a. Nexus 5 32GB
b. Lolipop 5.0.1
c. Locked bootloader/ unrooted
d. Still in warranty.

The dead android is recovery mode. When you see that press and hold the power button then press and release vol up. Try a factory reset in there. Note, it will wipe your device so backup first if you can.

This isnt't working. Holding the power button and volume button together does nothing. Holding only the power button puts the phone back in boot loop. Any other suggestions?

I think you're going to have to unlock the bootloader and flash the factory image. If that doesn't work then you have a hardware issue.

The phone isn't turning on. Any way I can unlock the bootloader without turning it on? Also, USB debugging is also turned off.

If it doesn't turn on there is nothing you can do. You need to be able to boot into the bootloader. Usb debugging doesn't matter. You don't need it on to run fastboot commands.

Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll setup adb and fastboot on your pc. Then boot the device into the bootloader, open a command window on your pc and then with your device connected via usb cable type into the command window
fastboot oem unlock

Thanks for the link, but the link says to unlock the bootloader, for that I need the phone to get pass the boot animation. Which is the main problem.

The device does boot into bootloader. But when I get into recovery mode, an android with red triangle and exclamation is displayed. How do I remove it and get back into the normal recovery mode?

You don't need to get into recovery. Boot into the bootloader, unlock it, then flash the factory image. All that is done in the bootloader, not recovery.

There is little confusion here @ShobhitJethani. Let's make things clear.
Bootloader mode (or fastboot mode) is when you press and hold volume_down+power keys.
Recovery mode is when you select the recovery mode with the power key in the bootloader mode.
To enable the menu options in stock recovery you have to PRESS and HOLD the POWER key and while you do that you just PRESS the VOLUME_UP key and then you RELEASE the VOLUME_UP key and then you can RELEASE the POWER key too.
What you did is starting to press and hold volume _up and power keys at the same time which is wrong.
Also, to unlock bootloader you just have to put the phone to bootloader mode. You dont have to do anything special before that.
I hope you now understand.

I somehow managed to remove the tamper flag and then gave it to the service center. They flashed KitKat on the phone. And now I also have updated my phone to 5.1 OTA. Thanks to everyone for trying to help me.

[Q] Softbricked, won't turn off, stay in fastboot, or boot to recovery.

Hi, I have a oneplus one running cyanogenmod (one of the first lollipop nightlies, not sure which). The phone is rooted, and has been working fine since march. I was simply in the car using it and upon leaving, next thing I know it's stuck in a boot loop.
I get:
Vibrate
1 sec black (but on) screen
oneplus "powered by android" boot up screen for ~6 seconds
1 sec black (off) screen
Just repeating.
Holding down the power button does nothing. Holding down volume down & power will turn the screen black, until the point at which I let go of the buttons, when it goes back into the loop.
Holding down volume up & power gives you the "fastboot mode" message, but then goes back into the loop after a few seconds of showing that.
So far I have left it charging for 6+ hours, had it discharge fully (which was the only thing that stopped it from constantly restarting) . I have plugged it into my computer, and it is recognised and the drivers start installing (haven't plugged it in since formatting computer), but it turns off before they can be installed.
I was advised to come here from reddit, hope you can help

I didn't want to try it because from their description, my phone isn't hardbricked. The oneplus "powered by android" screen comes on, and it will say fastboot mode if you boot it into fastboot mode, it just restarts after a few seconds of saying that.

Hmm, probably not long enough. Will it give a response if you issue this command?
