[Q] Nexus 5 Dead - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, so yesterday I got home, and like everyday I dropped it on the wireless charger. After about 2 hours I took it and it has turned off itself and doesn't react to my button presses or anything. I tried holding Power, Power+Vol Up, Power+Down, Power+Vol up+Vol down, charged it overnight but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else left to do? (Bootloader is unlocked, twrp recovery + franco kernel and stock fw, it was working for like 2 weeks with no crashes).

If you've already tried holding the power button for 20 seconds it sounds like rma is the answer.

Does your computer recognizing your phone?

It does not, the phone isn't turned on, how could computer recognize it? (btw. The phone takes the power from the wall it seems, cause the power cord gives a noise when only it's pluged in without cable to the phone, then I can take it out, it still makes noise, and if i plug the phone into it, it stops making the noise)

It can recognize a phone even if it's not turned on,as adb,and then you can flash recovery,kernel and etc,using fastboot commands.
So go to device manager and see if recognized as adb,if yes,you're good to go,and try to flash stock rom and recovery.
Also you can try to reboot into bootloader using fastboot reboot command.

It doesn't recognize it ( I thought it only recognizes it if it's in vol down+power or on :?

Ah yes,my bad,sorry. Also,when you took,didn't you notice that it's hot or something like that? Because I've read on the internet that wireless charging can make devices to overheat.

Yes, 2 times it was hot, but not yesterday. When I took it, it wasn't cold or hot, the same as normal phone would be.

Oh, and one more thing. When I hold power button it makes noise like this: h\ttp\s://w\ww.dropbox.c\o\m\/s/d3e0rqtlzm7x2ig/N5noise.mp3 (Remove all the \ from the link)
Barely hearable so I just accidentally noticed it.

Anyways, I'll go for the RMA. One more question, I really doubt it's possible but I will ask. is there a way to transfer all files from the phone if it's not responding to anything?

Nope, that's part of the package.
if at least ADB was working you could but not possible unless LG revive the phone.

If your sending it to google, then you don't have to worry. However, your device is fully dead, right? They will most probably swap the mobo or just send you a refurbished piece.

It's making some kind of a noise when trying to turn it on/charge it, and doesn't react any other way, so yea, dead.

HTC One S shuts down and won't turn on, no charging led.

Hi,
yesterday I pulled my One S out of my pocket, opened up the browser, made a search on google and all of a sudden, while the page was loading the screen turned off, completely black. The capacitive buttons stayed awake for 4-5 seconds, then they turned off too.
Completely dead, the phone won't turn on anymore, not even in recovery mode. If I connect the wall charger the charging led doesn't light up, although I can feel the phone is heating (as usually happens when charging).
I've tried connecting it to the pc via usb and windows after a while, detects a peripheral named "qhsusb_dload". I've read on google that this isn't any good... Anyway, even connected to the pc (for hours) the charging led doesn't light up.
No signs of life from my One S... :crying:
The phone is completely stock, unrooted.
Do someone have any hints?
Thanks.
I believe you're in download mode.
Hold the power button until your button leds start flashing and then keep holding it until they stop again. Now let go. If they don't start flashing within (say) 20 seconds, you can also let go. Hold the vol-down button and press&release the power button. Hopefully this boots you into bootloader mode. If not I don't nkow what else to suggest other than look at the unbricking thread in the development forum.
There's no way I can enter bootloader. The phone shows no signs of life (no capacitive buttons, no charging led, nothing at all)...
One thing that maybe is important: for about a month, I've been experiencing a strange battery drain. The drain used to occur even if the phone was in deep sleep (I'm sure about this because I've checked with cpuspy and anyway I hadn't installed any new apps for quite a while), at a rate of 7-8% each hour. I could leave the phone on the desk with screen off and in standby (no 3g data, no wifi, not even cellular network) and the drain was still there.
By the way, when my phone died I had plenty of battery left, about 70%.

If it's unrooted then your warranty is still 100% intact and HTC will replace your phone no problem. What you describe just happens sometimes, more so with this phone then others I've seen.
The qhsusb_dload means it's not worth tinkering with yourself if you can just submit it for warranty.

I see, thanks. Is this qhsusb-dload issue hardware-related? If so, is it possible that they swap my S4 chip with an S3?

Think of qhsusb-dload kinda like your normal PC without windows. Your phone could not find an operating system to boot into and defaulted to qhsusb-dload mode waiting for a command. Our problem is that we don't really know the commands for qhsusb-dload nor do we have the files needed to use it only the manufactures do.
They can't swap a s4 chip for a S3 version that isn't the same product.
Most likely it the micro USB charging port that's gone toast.. happened to mine exact same symptoms. I was actually unlocked, HTC dev unlocked too, running a custom ROM as well as custom recovery and splash screen. I still sent it in repair with hope of they will never be able to turn the damn thing on to discover my deeds and will replace my phone but they didn't mind, they reflashed stock rom after repair and sent it back but I was still s-off
Send it into repair mate. Best option instead of tinkering with it lol

I'll let you know! :fingers-crossed:
It didn't work. The terminal waits for the device, however it doesn't respond...
I'll have to send the phone in.
Crazy idea but that sounds like the mode you go into for the downgrade so maybe the last part of it might help to get you up and running again.

you can open a new terminal window and run the following command IF AND ONLY IF the phone doesn't reset out of QDL mode

No that for flashing Hboot think you want step 12 but will need to edit the file the download has but you will need to do step 3 so you can do step 12. I have no idea if it will work but its an idea and also might be best to ask about it there too before doing anything.
thanks a lot touch of jobo i was going to get crazy :laugh:

[Q] Help? Bricked One X?

I think I bricked my one X im not sure how or why but out of the blue it just said the 10 second power off message and no longer turns on at first i was able to turn it on a few more times but now i cant.
It is not taking charge both from my computer or ac :/
when i plug it into my computer it says HID compliant device found. and the three led buttons light up every about 5-10 seconds but the top led notification doesnt turn on
If it matters
Hboot 1.14
on jokerfg jb rom
also this is a week and a half old device. if i have to replace it i will but I am more concerned with formatting it or getting it to stock before hand incase i send it in and they get it running
Uff. I have not encountered this issue. Sorry brother. Update if you find a fix.

How did it get to that state?
What are the 5 contact looking things at the back of the phone for?
Sounds like you need to give the thing some charge, i'm sure one of those street corner shops can pop it open, macgyver some volts in, and reflash something that will boot for $30ish?
I'm not really sure, my power buttton is stuck but it retracts like a button should, but it has died and refuses to power up now. I just wanna turn it on to reformat it. or is it possible htc wont be able to turn it on themselves and when they receive it just trash the device?

so the battery is dead and it wont charge? if it will charge youll have to relock the boatloader and ruu to stock if u cant get in to recovery
Leave the phone on the wall charger (not USB) for several hours (overnight) and see if you can boot. You might also try to power on, or hold the power button, or try to enter hboot while the phone is plugged to the charger (after letting it charge for several hours). As at least one guy that I thought was hard bricked got his phone to boot this way.
What appears like spontaneous power off has happened to some people. So it may be nothing that you did. Hopefully, letting it charge for a few hours will fix it up.

I had this happen. I left it on charge (from powerpoint not USB to PC) over night and then connected back to PC. It didnt start but the pc was telling me USB device connected and disconnected when long pressing power button.
after running RUU and changing bootloader I finally got it to work. I would try the latest RUU from US / ATT as it has newest everything and see how that goes.

I'm one of the folks who tried to help you in the other thread. Saying that you think people are unwilling to help sounds ungrateful and a bit whiny. Remember that the community here provides help for free, and that we also have lives and can't be on here to help you all the time.
Since you've tried charging (wall charger) for several hours, and tried (unsuccessfully) to get into bootloader, there isn't much else you can do. The idea of trying to run the RUU is a good one. But if you can't connect and can't run the RUU, the phone might be done. In particular, the blinking red light is not a good sign. I think there have been some other folks that have gotten this recently, and were not able to recover from it.
But keep trying to charge, and keep trying the bootloader button combo. The fact that your condition happened right after trying to restore a nandroid, leads me to believe its something that can be recovered from, and not a random hardware failure. But that is just a gut feeling, and maybe a bit too optimistic.
when my battery dies and i plug it up to charger led blinks red until it has enough juice to be powered on. you shouldn't try to power on your phone when it is blinking red, i assume that might end up killing the battery for good if you do.

Help please

My evita went really hot .. it was in my pocket.. i dont know how!
It switched off.
now when i turn it in., i get the starting htc logo and it switched off afrom there again.
My pc gives me a notification when i connect it.. but adb dosent show any devices..
PLEASE HELP!!
Plug it into the wall charger (not connected to computer by USB) and let it charge for several hours (overnight if you can). Then try it, and see if there is any improvement.
Any charge light come on, when you connect the charger?
There have been some cases of spontaneous battery level drop, and the phone powering off. The power has to go somewhere, so heat is not a surprising result.
It can also be you have a battery or other power fault of some sort. So I would take some caution, and monitor to some degree while charging, just in case of a short circuit, fire hazard, etc.

Hmm, that is a bit worrisome. I know somebody had a similar case (LED on, even when not connected), but it was solid red (not blinking). He never go it running and did a warranty exchange.
I'd try to charge for several hours, and try to power on. Also try to get into bootloader, or power on, when its still connected to charger. I know it sounds strange, but there was at least one guy a while back, that only got his device up and running again by doing the bootloader button combo while the charger was connected.

The phone switches off while in recovery? Is the phone charged? Are you running a custom kernel?

The custom kernel would not load in recovery so it is of no consequence.
If it's shutting down while in recovery and the phone has a full or decent charge there's a good chance it's a hardware issue.
If you leave the phone in bootloader does it shut off also?
If it doesn't you can try to RUU and see if it's stable again but if you're phone decides to shut off in the middle, you'll most likely have an irrecoverable brick.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I wouldn't try running an RUU, like Exad said it'll likely screw up and brick your phone. I think you'll need to send it for repair.

Plug it in and see if fastboot or adb recognizes it
I had thought I bricked once and turned out I still had fastboot access and managed to flash a 2.14 hboot and recovery and get my phone back .

Black screen boot loop

I was trying to root this phone so I unlocked the bootloader.
I went on twrp and selected A9 only to realize after I flashed that there is a difference between the a9 and a9s and now my phone is just not booting and is stuck in a black screen boot loop.
If I connect it to a computer it will connect for just a second then disconnect which makes me believe it is not 100% dead
What happens is that it will vibrate connect to the computer for around a few seconds then it will disconnect and then 10 seconds later vibrate again and repeat.
Model is 2pwd200
I cannot do anything such as get into bootloader or download mode. I even tried adb and fastboot but no connection
I've had a bootloop like that before. For me it worked to power-off with volume button up + power. Then power-on with volume button down + power. I was able to get into download mode that way and flash the right boot.img (in my case...)

With the live chat person they i told them that it just stopped coming on and it only came on sometimes, I asked them what would void the warranty and they said broken screen or liquid damage. I never told them that the bootloader was unlocked. They did say that if there was physical damage to the device they would charge me £27 for it but there isn't so I am going to ship it tomorrow.

I managed to find a way. Every time I plugged the phone into the power adapter, the phone only vibrated every 23 seconds. I decided to leave it for a few days to complete exhaustion and after connecting the power supply for about 2 minutes blinking orange LED. After 3 minutes the phone normally switched on. However, when I tried to restore the factory settings again, I had a black screen. I left the phone again for two days and this time I prepared a SD card with the image from the link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0r...g5UkZucWc/view
I changed the file name to 2PWDIMG.zip
I started it with the VOL- key and loaded the image. After flash everything works fine.
PS.
Every time the first time I started the phone, the touch screen did not work, I had to restart my phone and then the touch was working. After flash image everything is ok.
This may help you.

So they sent the phone back and it is in fully working condition, they relocked the bootloader for me as well and they seemed to have also replaced the frame which had some scratches on it.

Is my phone dead after falling on the floor, need confirmation.

Hey guys,
After two years of constant care, it happened... the drop of death.
A perfect hit on the floor, screen first, perfectly parralel to the stone floor, with the neat "Poc!" sound... :crying:
My phone now does not turns on. Does not vibrate when I plug it and the computer does not detect it.
That's a perfect brick.
I disassembled it and re-assembled, in case of there was a loose piece or cable, but without success.
Is there any chance that it's only the screen, or is it, as I suspect, the end of my beloved OPO?
Thanks for your advice.

Anyways,I'd recommend you to get it checked from a professional repair shop.There're chances that you might only need display to fix your device.

Well well well.... small update.
The phone is finally partially alive.
I just tested to plug it without the battery in and.... I had the small vibration and OnePlus boot logo. But of course, as no battery, the screen turns black right after.
But.....
If i plug the battery in, the phone will turn on (I did not say Android booted ).
But only if:
- I plugged once without battery, then unplug
- I put the battery back in place
- Then I re-plug the USB cable
Following this, I can:
- Enter TWRP (fully functional, I can backup my rom, wipe caches, etc... and all the buttons I tested were OK, touchscreen seems fine) / (Vol down + plug)
- Within TWRP, ADB sees my phone as an unauthorized device.
But I can't:
- Enter Fastboot mode (Vol Up + plug)
- Boot the phone up:
- Even within TWRP, reboot does not work
- As long as the battery is in, if I power off the phone, it won't turn on again until I remove the battery and do the first plug trick first.
So there is hope!!
Can it be the battery?
If I am on TWRP (with both USB cable and battery plugged) and unplug the USB, the screen stays on, but becomes unresponsive and only removing the battery can turn the phone off.
Or is the phone somehow bricked on a software standpoint? And can be unbricked?
Side note, when I first plugged the phone and it turned on, on the Computer, it installed a driver called "Care Suite Emergency Connectivity"

No, just tried out without battery. I did but that's tricky. Once you remove the battery, you really need to push the power button first before plugging in the cable, seems the mother board needs to discharged in some way first.
I called a repair shop, the battery might be faulty and put the mobo in security mode... But as I can't access fastboot mode, they said it could be a part of the phone's ROM which is damaged.
Any way to use adb through TWRP to try to dump all partitions to see if any of them are damaged?

Display works perfectly fine at least under TWRP.
The problem is somewhere else, maybe on battery or ROM (not the OS)

Quick update.
There must be a problem with the mobo.
I ordered a new battery that arrived today.
With the new battery, the phone boots up Android, but after some time, it freezes completely.
If it does not freeze and if I try to power it off or reboot, it just shuts down and will never reboot unless I do the battery trick again (remove and put back in place).
SIM is recognized but I don't have network.
I did not manage to get a GPS fix.
Fastboot works, I flashed the stock LOS 13.1 image. But it did not change to the freezing behaviour, and even under fastboot, a "fastboot reboot" just powers off the phone.
That's frustrating!!!
I think it's dead for good. The only reason I see for such a strange behaviour is a shortcut somewhere on the MOBO, maybe a damaged soldering.

Hmm,could be the pcb itself then.Did you get your device check from a professional repair shop?

No, but I discussed with two of them on the phone.
Considering the price of the phone, it's not worst anymore to repair PCB if it can be.
I will go for a Oneplus 3 I think. There is an auction ending on eBay soon and it's still at 170€... And with the 5T coming out, there will be a lot of other good options in the coming weeks.
I have the Oneplus 3 now... Thanks @Mr.Ak and see you guys!!
