[Q] Nexus 5 Flash Write Failure - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have a rooted Nexus 5 and on Saturday it suddenly froze and when I restarted the phone it was stuck on a boot loop. I tried to go into my TWRP recovery and it asked for a password and it says that the internal storage is 0 MB. I have tried to flash stock rom using fastboot manually and it keeps saying (remote: flash write failure). Will someone please help me on this? I can't figure out what to do.
Thank You

sounds like your internel memory went bad. youll need to replace it.

Try to flash back only cache.img.
And if that doesn't work probably ur internal memory has some problem.

Sorry to say it seems like ur internal memory partition has gone corrupt.
U will need to send ur device back to google or to lg service center.

yes. if you bought it through google, they will generally replace rooted phones especially if its a hardware issue(has nothing to do with root). and if its not google, they wont boot it up anyways(i dont think).

[Q] Serieus problem with the Nexus 5

Hello XDA developers!
I hope you can help me with a serieus problem on my Nexus5 Device!
Let's tell you my little adventure with my Nexus5 :
First my Nexus5 Device worked perfectly, but then the radiobaseband and the sensors magically dissapeared!
https://db.tt/cdZiSukZ i've tooked some screenshots of it on dropbox.
Then I Flashed the factory image for my device by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
And it started to work perfectly, till now........
after about a week i watched a unspecified video on Google Chrome and the screen freezed ( not literally )
So I hold the power button and turn it off, turn it back on and i got a infinity bootloop.
So I flash again the official factory image and it can't flash my system?
its look like this;
trying to flash system.img....
FAILED
the rest of the process flash succesfull until it reach system.img
and a friend of mine therinsem tried to add a custom recovery and it didn't work, so we flashed again the factory image and it still FAILED,
to flash system.img the rest of the process work until it reach system.img.
now it doesn't even boot? it's only going straight into fastboot-mode
and if i press in fastboot-mode recoverymode than it shows nothing? ( i think because we tried to flash a custom recovery )
- iv'e tried on a bunch of diffrent windows laptop's
- i can't access the internal storage of the device
- i can still '' side-load'' I think
so this is my problem with the nexus5, does anyone have a solution?:crying:
Download the factory image again and make sure the md5 checks. Then try again
There's another thread around here somewhere with pretty much the same issue. Sounds like bad memory. From fastboot try:
Code:
fasboot format system
If that succeeds reflash the factory image. If that fails your most likely looking at RMA.
I wouldn't really since google will charge you twice for tampering with the imei

[Q] Perma Brick?

My friend was running completely same setup of latest RastaKat + trinity kernel on N5. This morning device rebooted randomly with factory settings and reported Gallery and Camera stopped working after booting to Android, SIM card was not recognized and internal storage was unavailable. I tried to flash full stock firmware package, unfortunatly cache and userdata coudn't be erased/formated, flashing failed (tried force flash setting on recovery and flash manually as well).
Phone boots to same old RastaKat ROM after everything I've done to him.
I'm completely lost, is it a hardware fault or simple software incident? Any help appreciated and sorry for my English

[Q] Stuck in bootloop.

Hi everyone.
I have the following problem with a Nexus 5: During an update, the system crashed. The phone is now stuck in an endless bootloop, trying to install the update. When left long enough, the update screens eventually come up, but you are immediately blasted with a ton of errors and no matter what you do, you are unable to complete the update. This, however, is not the problem.
I have tried various utilities in order to flash the phone back to factory settings. I have made use of Unified Android ToolKit, as well as Nexus Root Toolkit, but a problem with the phone itself is preventing me from flashing it and the problem is as follows: I can access the phone via USB, as well as the bootloader, but when I unlock the bootloader to start the flashing, it immediately locks itself again and I'm unable to start the flash process.
I've searched for other instances in which the bootloader won't unlock, but I can't find any information. Is there perhaps a hardware problem preventing me from unlocking the bootloader or can someone help me find a solution to this problem?

If the lock state reverts on a reboot, 99 times out of 100, it means the internal memory has an issue. RMA.

No probs. Sounds like the update got stuck at the bootloader flash and corrupted. It's probably not a fatal NAND issue, rather corrupt partition or two but it usually means sending it in.
You can try the LG flashtool as a last resort before doing so though, as you never know...
You can find a link to it in the sticky thread in my signature. Best to stay away from actual "toolkits" though and either use fastboot manually or LG flash tool, although fastboot probably cant help you here - just saying for future ref...

I was stuck in the boot animation and when it opened there was a lot of system errors and it would reboot by itself over and over again.
what fixed it was to do a wipe cache and dalvik and reinstall it

Dalvik cannot break your bootloader. Your only option was use lg flashtool and if that failed, RMA. Let's not get false hopes and waste time not doing this.

i thought about LG FLASHTOOL but decided to try reinstaling the rom cuz i had no other option since i forgot to leave a backup rom on the device. So I did it as if I was installing a brand new rom Wiped dalvik, cache and system then reflashed the rom and then the gapps. Even tho it was the same ROM file I had a different outcome. It's working fine now but I did go back to the nightlies after it started working again just to be safe.
Now... people may have a different outcome when trying to solve this issue but this actually worked for me after having a minor heart-attack thinking I was gonna lose all my stuff

Yes, but your issue is different to the OP's. His bootloader lock state reverts whenever he changes it. This is a pretty much "fatal" issue. What you did cannot help him unfortunately.

IMEI Unknown

Hi guys! I've looked all around and tried the fixes that people recommended, which is basically going back to stock.
So this is what happened to my brother's phone:
Was using the phone and all a sudden the phone freezes (He was on Android L) and he rebooted it. After rebooting, the phone went into bootloop. He downloaded some program that supposedly fixes softbrick and bootloop (by flashing stock ROM) Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.7.
The phone was fixed.. Kinda.. He couldn't get any cell signal. Turns out his baseband and IMEI read unknown. He has the box the phone came in, to we know the physical IMEI number.
Is there a fix for this? I've tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/lost-imei-please-help-t2529103 but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Also check if wifi mac address is changing after each reboot. Corrupted persist partition can cause problems like that and also other things like crasing apps
Check out my thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576. It worths a try. If it does not help then you have to buy a new motherboard or claim your warranty if you have any.

Then it is up to you what are you going to do with the persist partition. You will lose nothing but time by formating the persist partition. If it not fix your problem then you have to buy a new motherboard for the phone to make phone calls either way because you dont have any efs backup.

A day, it starts bootloop and I take it at the LG center, one month afther they tell me that they can't repair the phone because i have rooted it. They said that i must pay a lot of money because i have to replace the motherboard.
I didn't pay anything and i got the device with a new problem: It is in bootloop, but i can access to the recovery but these are the problems:
1) the twrp recovovery says "Unable to mount /persist" and "unable to open "/cache/recovery/.version
2) I can't wipe and flash anything aside "boot.img" and "recovery.img"
3)I tried to use this command in the prompt:
e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/byname/persist but it says "recovering journal superblock needs_recovery is clear but journal has data, run journal anyway?" i enter "y" and it says "unable to set superblock flags".
I have made many sacrifices to buy the phone and i can't get a new one, how can I solve this problem? (now it still in bootloop)
Sorry for my bad english
There's a whole guide to repair /persist in the general forum. Look in "sticky roll-up" thread.

by your own no. if you have warranty, lg covers that (or google depending on where you live/bought the device).
basicly you need to replace the whole motherboard

I have already sent my phone to lg but they said that it is rooted and they can't help me.
how much does a new motherboard costs?

Sorry but I don't think that the emmc is bad, i've tried to make a directory with adb and it create the directory, so I think that i must to reset the partition (whith TWRP)... But i don't know the commands...

just like hdds and ssds, flash memories can also get corrupted/ bad sectors, these are hardware defects only at certain part of the memory.
the command you are looking for is already done by lg flash tool, but it failed to do because your emmc is bad.
anyway if you want to
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist /persist
if gives command not found then try
mkfs_ext4 instead
if you willing to try something, pm me
