N5 won't boot - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my N5 yesterday
unlocked bootloader
running TWRP
can flash and setup any rom
CAN NOT GET ANY KERNEL TO BOOT (using CM types when available, latest try was running sylentprofet minimal}
not sure what is going on, probably something small that I am missing.
tried:
faux
franco
N3o
ElementalX
Sorry if it is a simple fix. Did try to search but no real results that helped

If you're running cm look for CAF kernels.

As stated above, the problem started when you flashed, faux, franco kernel. Elementalx has a version which is compatible to CM Roms but need to read well. I heard of some people having problems after flashing franco, where another kernel wouldn't boot after franco.
Do a clean Rom installation, boot the phone with the stock CM kernel, then try to flash Chaos kernel and see how it does

thanks
why do we now have to use a particular type of kernel now?
Thank you guys for the assistance I booted my AOKP rom then flashed chaos with no issues, I knew it was something simple. :victory:

[Q] [i9020-T] bootlooping after flashing Trinity UV11

I've been trying to get morfic's Trinity UV11 kernel to work with both the Cyanogenmod 7.1-RC1 as well as reddev1's AOSP kernel. I've flashed everything through Clockworkmod as well as cleared the Dalvik-cache with the provided zip in the thread. The issue that comes up is that the phone boots into the sign-in screen fine but later on the touch response stops working and then the phone restarts. Is there something wrong with the roms/process that I'm using or is it just that my phone cannot handle the undervoltage of the ROM? Any suggestions would be welcome!

update your cm7, rc1 is old and outdated. try the latest cm nightly or cm kang. flash the latest, your gapps, and the kernel. in that order, then reboot.

Do you have any suggestions for stable AOSP roms that would work with this kernel? I'm trying to avoid the CM7 nightlies just because of any possible stability issues.

na.. i run either nightly or kang as a daily. should be much more stable than rc1 in any case
Hmm I've done what you suggested (flashing the latest nightly, then gapps, then kernel) and still no luck getting past the sign in screen. I've also used the "battery pull" method of rebooting the phone that was noted in the thread and still have the same situation.

I've done a CM7/Netarchy(BFS) as well as reddev1's/Netarchy(BFS) combination which have both worked well without a hitch.

[Q] Kernel Problems

I have a B50 101 running AOKP Build 4. I tried installing Harmony Kernel and it won't go past the boot animation. I had this same problem trying to flash the K.A.T. kernel on Eos 3, it just won't go past the boot anim. Why is it doing this? I really want to run a different kernel on these roms.

I'm having the same problem since flashing #76 , also the tablet shuts down when not in use which it didn't do before. I've tried flashing KAT and something with Voodoo in the name but same as you stuck at boot animation. Let me know if you find a fix.
I haven't been able to figure it out. I was also having problems with the eos 3 nightlies with rebooting my tablet when hooking up the charger and the lock screen disappearing when waking from a long deep sleep.

According to the thread on Rootzwiki, the ROM is not compatible with other kernels than stock: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31009-tf101-kang-aokp-jb-preview-rolling-release/
Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know which jb roms are compatible with kernels?

I'm on EOS with the KAT kernel, but make sure you have the latest version of KAT (47b), on RaymanFX CM10 already has a kernel which can OC, so I would suggest not to flash a different kernel.
Thanks. Where can I find rayman fx or should I just Google it?

Change Kernel on JellyBam v4.1.0

As I said: I was wandering if it is possibile to change kernel, I tried this one, installed with aroma, but my Sensation is stuck in a bootloop.
I'm S-on, I tried to flash either with and without the 4ext smart flash with the same result.
Anyone has a solution?

Sorry! I forgot to past the link and then I had to wait five minutes to edit my post and, well, I forgot again.
This is the kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216197 I don't really need it but I would have tried some oc and the sweep2wake function and stuff, so, any other kernel (or even the rom one, if it's possible to set it) is the same to me.
Just to tell you: I flashed Jellybam after a full wipe, and it was working, then flashed the kernel, then, when I got stuck in the bootloop I flashed Jellybam again without wiping, right now all works properly.

That kernel is NOT designed for AOSP Jelly Bean ROMs like JellyBAM. That kernel is designed for Sense Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs, so it's to be expected that your phone won't boot after flashing that over JellyBAM. If you want a kernel to use with JellyBAM that has all the features that you just mentioned (Sweep2Wake, OC, etc.) then try my kernel (Sultan kernel).

Yeah well, I was looking at the title of that kernel thread while I realized which was the problem, I'm glad to tell you that I flashed your kernel last night (I'm Italian) and after a whole day using it I have to say that I really like it (even if I've to settle with all the differences between the governors and the best way to set them with aroma).
Thank you!

[Q] Can't get Komodo kernel to boot

For the past few days now, I've been attempting to flash $droyd$'s unofficial AOKP and thicklizard's komodo kernel, with no success. I've fastboot flashed before and/or after, wiped everything, run wipe scripts, chanted voodoo prayers, but nothing has worked. It either hangs on the boot animation, or occasionally makes it to the welcome screen before freezing and rebooting. I've been flashing ROM's on this thing for a while, and have been using unofficial cm10.1 so far as my daily driver. What the hell am I doing wrong?
Not sure but you may also still want to flash the kernel zip and then fastboot flash. There may be kernel modules that the zip needs to install for the kernel to work well on 10.1

Still no dice unfortunately, I guess it's just not meant to be. CM10.1 is running great so I don't have much to complain about.
Ok I think I've pinpointed the problem-it has something to do OC kernels. I just flashed your new Canuck kernel with PACman and I'm getting the same freezing and rebooting issue. Is my phone overheating somehow?

Are these kernels being flashed with arioma installer... If you go to my aokp thread 2nd post you will see a tweaked 4.2 version-- it already has komodo modules installed and komodo is the boot.IMG inside the zip... Do this no skipseys---download that rom-- fastboot the boot.IMG in my zip---boot to recovery and wipe every thing INCLUDING SD CARD..x3---- now mount your phone to PC and copy and paste the ROM zip to your SD card..it will look weird cause it will be the only thing on there. ----- now install ROM then wipe only the caches after that--- hit reboot----system
And enjoy aokp with komodo kernel... Now to explain---every time you re flash that kernel you are stacking modules that is why you won't boot and also why you now need to do the spring cleaning wipe.... If you follow those steps exact no skipseys you will get it done---

Eureka! Did adb bugreport while it was booting to see what was going wrong, and I saw that there was something up with the voltages. Set the clock speed to minimum and then turned up the voltages in kernel tuner and VOILA, working overclock! I guess my phone, for whatever reason, disliked the undervolted voltages.

[Q] Can't flash OTHER kernels.

I've been using Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build, for his last 3 build updates with TYR kernel. I decided I wanted to try out AK, or Render Kernel with Tamasek. Flashed new UKM update from AK, flashed new kernel. Restarted the phone and it constantly reboots on One+ logo. Never loads boot animation. Decided to fully wipe the phone, including system and reflash Tamesek. Then tried flashing AK. Same problem. Tried full wiping again and flashing a different rom and AK kernel or Render kernel and same issue. Reflashed TYR kernel and it works perfectly fine.
I have no idea what's going on. But, I don't want to be stuck using only 1 kernel. Any ideas?

Better ask your question in AK or Temasek thread
A friend of mine is having touch issues with his opo! It's unresponsive sometimes! He is on stock unrooted 05q. Will flashing a custom kernel help?
If yes please suggest a good one

I tried this, I now tried 3 different roms. SlimSaber unnofficial, Robbie's CM12, and Euphoria and all of them do now allow me to flash AK kernel or any other kernel. I think something borked on one of TYR's kernel flashes. May I should reset the phone completely. Is there an option to do this with ODIN that someone can point me into?

Right, just wiped/restored my phone to stock/factory all the way back to CM11S30R. Unlocked bootloader, rerooted, upgraded firmware and reflashed Euphoria and still can't flash AK without bootloopingon the ONE+ logo. I then clean wiped, and flashed Euphoria and same issue. I am at a loss, I have no idea what else to do.

No need to flash back to 30R
I'd flash the 05Q stock using fastboot
That comes with latest modem etc
Then if you'd like flash custom rom in recovery
Unlock bootloader?? Did you lock it after unlocking it?
What version of recovery are you using?

I am using TWRP 2.8.5.1.. I just figured I'd redo everything from scratch. Nothing is working. I can only flash TYR with all the roms I've tried, where it successfully boots. I'm also flashing UKM 3.8.1.
