[Q] Nexus 5 does is dead??? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed latest CM rom and unfortunately xposed framework on top.
after that my device does not start and seems to stack in CM logo for ever.
I can get to recovery but does not find any backup files! Seems like scdard is empty or not recognizable.
I tried to push a new rom for with adb from fastboot but my pc does not seems to find the phone. Like adb debugging is not enabled on the phone.
I also fails when I try to erase the device from recovery.
Any help is welcome.

Boot in fastboot and flash a factory image. Best way to fix pretty much anything.

Try to reinstall the universal drivers, and try different usb ports on your computer.

You need to make sure you're in the bootloader.

Hi, your phone is ok, just empty. the problem is on the computer. You need to fix the driver for nexus 5. You probably have them installed since you unlocked the phone. just keep your phone connected and on recovery mode.
go to device manager, look for nexus 5. Choose "update driver"
"Browse my computer for driver...,
"let me pick from a list of device drivers"
choose any ADB driver, and install it.
Many more ways to do it

If it can boot to the bootloader, and it still cant find the device, the problem is either with your computer(driver) or with the usb hardware on the phone(highly unlikely since it happened after you messed with software)

[q] twrp 2.5.0.0

Hello,
I followed Hasoon's all-in-one root toolkit and flashed the included TWRP 2.5.0.0 onto my AT&T HTC One X. Now I cannot do anything, whatever I do, it tells me "Unable to mount /cache". Could you please help me? I can't mount the sdcard to the computer either, so I am sort of stuck.
Thanks!

I was able to wipe it. However, it still gave all these same unable to mount /cache error messages. The data is gone though.
When I connect the mounted device to the computer it still doesn't recognize it.

Does the PC not recognize that anything is connected or does it detect that its plugged in but can't find the driver?
What rom is currently installed on the phone?

Currently I think it recognizes the phone as a media device (or similar, I forgot the name), not as a disk drive. I am on a Mac, and I have Android File Transfer installed, which then tells me that the device cannot be opened. On Windows it couldn't be opened either although it talked about a driver issue. I currently only have a Mac, but from Monday I could work on a Windows machine again.
The ROM currently being installed is the original AT&T provided ROM.
Thanks so much!

What version? IS it already installed on your phone? I'm trying to find out if you require MTP drivers or not. Latest version of sense/stock Roms require MTP driver to access the SD card.
In any case I wouldn't suggest using any version of TWRP above 2.3.3.1
So, I would download twrp 2.3.3.1 and check the md5
then fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
select recovery from bootloader then try to mount sdcard with twrp.

I see, this all sounds like I need to wait for a windows machine.
I am not sure what ROM version, unfortunately. I bought the phone in December from AT&T, and it all looks like it asks for MTP drivers. I will try this with a Windows machine and then get back to this post - thank you so very much for your help.

Alright, I have tried this with the latest HTC Sync manager: the MTP Drivers however won't install. I have tried with the One X+ of my Dad (which is also brand new, so probably requires the newest version also), and it installs fine and appears as a media device in the explorer. Mine however does not do anything, and driver installation says it fails to install the driver. I have tried manually installing the drivers, however, it seems to have to do with the phone because when I disconnect it suddenly Windows 7 is able to install those drivers, and as mentioned before it also works with a functional phone.
Next week I will be back at work and I have a Windows 8 machine there. I don't have high hopes that it works there, but since there seems to be an MTP driver issue with Win7, maybe there's a chance.
Is there anything else I could do?
Thanks!
PS: don't use your vacation time to root your phone...haha.

OK, so on Windows 8 I am able to install the driver, and it does not fail like in Win7, but I still can't access the mounted storage. The message of the device is:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
The process hosting the driver for this device has terminated.​
Is there anything else I can do, or should I rather get a new phone?

Are you rebooting to bootloader to do the fastboot commands? In bootloader it should say Fastboot in red. Then after a couple seconds that should change to Fastboot USB. I don't think fastboot needs the specific drivers to be on the PC like mounting the SD card requires.

You are definitely doing something wrong. fastboot commands only work within bootloader/fastboot and adb commands only work while the rom is loaded up or in sideload mode in TWRP. It's assumed you know this prior to rooting.

Turn off the phone. Then hold volume down and briefly press the power button. Don't let go of volume down until it gets to the boot loader screen. Wait for fast bot USB to display. Then you can try exad's fast boot commands.

It should change to FASTBOOT USB if you are plugged into a computer. If you connected to the computer after you got to bootloader mode, you might have to press volume up or down to get it to switch to FASTBOOT USB Maybe this is the root of your problem. Have you tried multiple USB cables? Is there any crud in the micro-USB port on your phone? It's a little odd that the micro-USB port would break in a manner that charging would still work but not data connections, but I'm starting to wonder if that isn't the case.

[Q] Unbricked successfully, ADB broken?

Howdy, folks. I recently bricked my tablet thanks to a bad install of CWM, but following Buster's guide I was able to successfully reflash stock firmware and the device runs fine when booted up now.
However, now ADB is not detecting my device. At all. I have tried running the kill-server and start-server commands to see if that would do the trick to no avail. I'm not even receiving an error saying "device not found." Rather, the device listing is left blank whenever I enter the devices command into the command prompt. I can still send commands via fastboot, but I'm concerned that there's something here that I'm missing, or that I have somehow managed to completely bork the motherboard. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Asus usb drivers, in addition to the ADB drivers/software to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions to getting ADB to work for my tablet again? I have scoured the web, particularly these forums, for days looking for an answer, but haven't turned anything up yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah everything *looks* normal, and appears to be acting normally whenever I have the tablet plugged in. When my tablet is booted up and connected to my pc, I can transfer files to and from with no issue. Also when it's plugged in, there are two different entries under the device manager (one for adb and the other for the tablet itself). It's only when I have my tablet running in bootloader mode that things don't seem to want to work correctly.
I even ran netstat last night to see if there were any programs/services using the same port as adb, and even that turned up nothing. Is it possible that I somehow inadvertently altered the settings on my tablet's motherboard when I installed a bad version of CWM, per my original post?
It shouldn't be posible to brick anything on motherboard with just flash wrong recovery. It might be just "too smart" windows, that reject to use adb driver on same device that alredy used by mtp one. It wasn't a problem before?

It wasn't a problem until I flashed the wrong version of CWM, got stuck in a boot-loop and fixed the problem using fastboot to completely wipe my tablet and start over from scratch.
Edit: I suppose I could try a fresh install of Windows.
Try first remove all drivers and software for tablet. Then install universal naked driver.

Google "nexus 5 diagnosing usb drivers xda"
why use a toolkit on a nexus device? its easier to root your nexus without a toolkit.
1. "fastboot oem unlock" via fastboot unlocks the bootloader.
2. flash a custom recovery via fastboot
3. flash the su binaries(supersu) in your new recovery.
4. reboot and profit, thats it.

You're probably going to have to go into device manager, view hidden, and delete each usb port that is not being used and start over. Don't have your phone connected when you do this. It's a pita. Then reboot your computer, than plug your phone in. Also make sure you're using the usb cable that came with your phone and usb ports in the back of your pc

some people have reported issues if you didnt let the device 'reset' itself after you unlocked the bootloader so it could rebuild the data partition.
its more of a precautionary thing than anything else.

[Help] Google Nexus 5 might be bricked

Heya. First things first:
My Google Nexus 5 is quite... Well bricked.
I've updated CarbonROM a couple of hours ago and since then the phone's been stuck on the Google Logo, as well as starting automatically after shutting it down.
Here's some specifications:
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.5
ROM: Carbon. The version I updated to was CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140706-0428-hammerhead (Edit: For a strange reason, it didn't update to the latest version available.)
I've tried performing:
Reinstall of the same Rom
Factory reset
Following the many unbricking tutorials that require the computer to actually recognize the phone yet no "Nexus 5" appears... Actually nothing appears in devices other than my regular devices.
Phone has been already rooted (obviously) using tutorials here on XDA.
Please help :3

The main problem in all these solutions is that the phone isn't even recognized by the computer. I'm pretty sure it's the computer's problem but you may never know. Tomorrow I'm retrieving my main rig and I'll post if that rig discovers my phone. If it does, it will make me happier than Columbus discovering America. It not, it will make my wallet really sad as I will be obliged to buy a new one.

[Q]Nexus 5 doesn't connect to PC and can't download any files...

Hi, guys!
I have a problem..
My Nexus 5 doesn't connect to PC or Mac. Nor for MTP, nor for PTP. Device manager doesn't see phone. No beeps, dinglings etc. But phone is charging as normal.
And aaalso, i can't download files, can't make screenshots, Cabinet won't see anything in downloads, files etc. Tried recover from backup, tried reflash xtrasmooth from TWRP but didn't success. Same problem.. Tried different cables - no success. Tried moving cable - no luck.. Tried chmod from TWRP on /data/media/0 - didn't worked.. I've tried everything. ADB, fastboot not working..
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance. =)
If I remember correctly TWRP does provide an option to repair certain partitions. You could try that. I'm not sure if it will delete your personal data though :/
Flashing a factory image would be a second option. This will delete your files for sure though.

You don't need to copy it to your phone. It gets flashed via fastboot. Does your computer not even detect the phone in fastboot mode? Drivers installed? Do you use Windows 8?

My Nexus 5 doesn't connect to PC or Mac. Nor for MTP, nor for PTP. Device manager doesn't see phone. No beeps, dinglings etc. But phone is charging as normal.
And aaalso, i can't download files, can't make screenshots, Cabinet won't see anything in downloads, files etc. Tried recover from backup, tried reflash xtrasmooth from TWRP but didn't success. Same problem.. Tried different cables - no success. Tried moving cable - no luck.. Tried chmod from TWRP on /data/media/0 - didn't worked.. I've tried everything. ADB, fastboot not working..
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance. =)

Try this: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Remove all usb drivers and try again. Drivers for adb and fastboot are here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Usually it helps.
P.S. You don't need drivers from NRT.
P.S.2 I've noticed that @_MetalHead_ is around. Do not mention NRT or any other Toolkits anymore.

Hahaha! Hey now, I have no problem with toolkits when used by people who actually know what they are doing, which OP seems to. They just encourage people to jump in the deep end before learning to swim, and that's what I have a problem with. But you know that
Anyways... I don't suspect OP has a driver issue, seeing as though it's also not working with his Mac. It almost seems like a permissions issue, but seeing as though OP tried chmod, then I really don't know what to say. Maybe ask @rootSU, if anybody knows how to fix it, it's him.

Yes, probably you are wright. This is just suggestion from my experience. I've had somethimes problems with drivers and allways fixed them with this little software.
But offcourse, we all hope that rootSU gave up from Nexus 6 and then get back here.

@Lethargy should know what to do as well.

Try this, with your device connected to the pc go to device manager. Do you see a device with a yellow exclamation mark? If so right click and go to where it lets you choose a driver from your computer. Choose the android composite adb interface.

Or in device manager look for something called an acer device (which you obviously don't have) uninstall it's driver if so

No yellow exclamation mark..
What if the problem is in permissions and maybe i'm doing something wrong? I have root. Tried to change them from Root Browser - no luck. Tried to make chmod from TWRP - no luck... At least, downloads and USB still not working. (BTW, music is OK and i can see photos, but can't write them)

Doesn't show up at all?
What permissions are you changing on what files/folders?
Also, see the first link of my signature, try the 15-second adb/fastboot installer, and if that doesn't work then there is a thread for diagnosing driver issues.
