I restart my phone because it did a lot of time to reset cache. I regered the time I did it but was late.
Now my phone opens but does not have mobile network and cannot access my /sdcard/
From recovery I can see my sdcard. What can I Do?
Are you fully stock? If so, then format /cache partition and then perform a factory reset via stock recovery.
If you aren't fully stock, and use a custom recovery then I would suggest you to perform a factory reset from the custom recovery (it won't wipe internal sd)..
If it still doesn't work then you need to go back to fully stock by flashing the factory images from Google.

Yep, just keep wiping / formatting cache until it fixes or fastboot flash the stock cache.img

I am not stock at all. I thought if I could copy sdcard to otg before all these.

Just flash the stock recovery via fastboot and then format cache multiple times until it successfully formats! Your data won't be lost.
Since you rebooted before the cache was formatted, it has ended in a messed up /cache partition.
If you want to backup data, you can use adb pull from recovery...
See above

You can try to restore the backup but I doubt if it will solve the issue. However, there's no harm in trying..
The cache partition is messed up.. It needs to be formatted first. That's why I suggested you to go back to stock recovery and format cache...
I have tried wiping cache on Philz Touch and twrp and it didn't solve my problem. I had to format the cache partition using the stock recovery and voila! Everything was fixed.

Flashing the stock cache.img won't wipe your saved data or backups.. There's no harm in trying.. However, if you're skeptical, adb pull all your important stuff and then do the flashes!
Finally I flashed cache.img and seems that everything is good again. Thank you for your help.

Hi:
I need ROMS that allow for bluetooth tethering. I have gotten pyr-o-ice_ICS_1.0.2 to work, but it does not seem to want to use 4G. The best I can get is 3G. I am also having problems with some apps I use a lot (like Kindle). So, I would like to try some other ROMS. I have tried Wildchild_IcE_Rom_v0.9 and cm-9.1.0-doubleshot, but both get stuck on their splash screen during boot.
This phone still has S-ON, but I am flashing a new boot.img with each new OS.
So, can I get these ROMs to work? Or, can you guys suggest a ROM I should be using?
Thanks.
What's your wipe method. And are you fastbooting the new kernel? Most likely its one of two things, a bad download (md5 sum not being checked or a failure to wipe the device.

I am using the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556. I
Extract the "boot.img" file from the zip file on my PC
Boot the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC
Run fastboot flash boot boot.img. I am making sure I am using the right one.
Reboot the phone into Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
Flash the zip file.
Reboot the phone
Isn't that right?
I have downloaded cm-9.1.0-doubleshot twice and still no go.
Yeah but only for flashing the boot.img, so if you followed that exactly and only did what that guide says you didn't wipe the device in recovery at all so that's why its failing to boot

And ALWAYS flash the kernel last. You're going to have a few that work fine but 80% of developers wipe the boot partition when setting the mount points from the updater script before starting the new ROM flash. Not all....but most do.
Thanks! I got things working.
For the record, I
Extract the "boot.img" file from the zip file on my PC
Reboot the phone into Recovery
Perform a nandroid backup
Wipe data/factory reset
Format system,data, and cache (my machine does not have dalvik. Also, I think data and cache were already done by the previous wipes)
Boot the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC
Run fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot the phone into Recovery
Flash the zip file
Reboot the phone.
"fastboot wipe system -w" did not work for me. On my version wipe is not an option. Looking on the web, I found "fastbook erase system -w". However when I tried that, I got an error that said "FAILED <remote not allowed>"
Thanks again

No problem. The other way worked fine. I am happy.
This is the story. I installed a custom kernel, and decided to clear the dalvik cache. I am on the art runtime and I think this may be the issue here. After installing the kernel I wiped the dalvik cache it would not complete and I had to force restart. I could not open the camera app, and when opening es file explorer it told me could not find /sdcard/. Looking in the terminal it said could not mount /cache/. Could this be a possible bug with the art runtime and TWRP? I had to do a fastboot -w to get the device functional again.
It is a bug with twrp. I just fastboot flashed clockworkmod recovery, wipe the cache there (took 5-10 min) and everything worked.

Nasty Bug in TWRP
Yes this needs to be fixed. It happened to me too. Glad that CWM recovery was able to clear the corrupt cache partition left by TWRP (took ~10min to run). I was looking at a full reset to stock to get out of this.

I can start the Nexus in TWRP. It says there is no os installed.
I cannot flash a recovery because i have no chance to put some files on the Nexus through my computer. There is no connection between Nexus and computer
Somehow are you able to get a internet connection through your computer? If not ull prolly have to use a flash drive and go to a local area with computers and wifi. Not sure if you have a desktop or laptop. Laptop would be ideal though.
Hi,
First, I followed the instructions in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905
I installed the CWM recovery and then flashed the CM11-20131228 nightly and then the recommended Google Apps that are linked at their wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads (I took the 20131208 ones)
Now my phone is stuck in the boot screen with the circle spinning around the cyanogenmod logo (I can boot the bootloader and recovery but when I try to boot CM11 it’s stuck) and I dont know how to get to a working cm11 rom. The guide said that the first boot with a new rom takes longer than usual because the phone rebuilds caches and so on but I think it should not take more than half an hour...
What I already tried is:
- Wiping the chaches with the CWM recovery an then booting cm11 -> still just the arrow spinning around the logo
- Wiping the caches with recovery and then re-flashing the same zip without flashing the google apps afterwards -> did not work
- Wiping and then pushing the newer cm11 nightly via adb so that I could try this one -> recovery did not find the pushed zip on my scdard
- Wiping, then tried to install the new nightly via adb sideload -> cmd prompt said it was send properly and as far as I can say the phone installed it but I was still stuck on that bootscreen ...
- I even restored to the stock 4.4.2 factory image and then flashed the cwm recovery, than wiped caches and then installed the latest cm11 nightly an then the google apps but I still can not get past the boot animation
What am I doing wrong and how can I get past the boot screen?
You talk about wiping caches but are you wiping data too?
Oh, yes. I just didnt mention it. I always did the three steps from the guide:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > wipe dalvik cache

Exactly.
I install the factory image with method 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701 and then flash CWM recovery to install CM (factory reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + install cm-zip + install gapps-zip) and then there is the bootloop.

8 minutes is too long. You have some other problem. Do any other roms work? Wiping system in twrp does not wipe the internal sd card. That's why you didn't find it in cwm.

I will try the AOKP nightly and post the results. Is it okay to just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before installing the aokp zip or is it better to flash the stock rom before flashing aokp?
No need to flash stock, just do the wipes
What's the process to flash the 33R system image without me losing the internal storage data? I have run in to some unfixable issue with the OPO and hence am considering flashing the factory image as the last option.
The only concern is the data on the internal storage which is important for me. As I am unable to boot to the desktop nor use the MTP mode from TWRP, I cannot transfer/back up the content.
I've tried flashing Mahdi/33R/38R zips after wiping system/dalvik/cache/data with no luck. The phone keeps rebooting and is in a loop. Tried fixing permissions from recovery with no luck. I have no idea what am missing here...
I'd appreciate if anyone can provide me with steps to flash system image (without losing the internal storage data) instructions or resolve the other bootloop issue.
Thanks!
All you do is TWRP -> Wipe -> Swipe -> Flash ROM (and others... only flash ROM for now and it'll boot, maybe one of the mods or whatever ur flashing causes ur phone to boot loop)-> Reboot.
And then your phone will stop boot looping

Thank you. I have done all that to be frank. I flashed only the Mahdi ROM zip first and then booted. No luck. It kept bootlooping. Then tried the same with 33R zip too. No luck again. I have no mods running whatsoever.
I've done a complete wipe too as apps and app data isn't something I care for currently. It's the internal storage.
Use fastboot, grab the latest stock images
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash system system.img

This won't erase internal SD, all will be intact so long as your prior issue didn't corrupt it in anyway

Wait what, why do u need to do a factory reset, and yes, as the name suggests, it leaves the device in the same state that u received it in, blank, but why would u need to wipe the device, I'm going to check out the link, bcuz now I'm interested
I have never seen this happen before and I've owned nothing but Nexus devices, well, to answer your question I have to ask a few, are u rooted, do u have a recovery installed? If the answer to those two questions is no, then connect to a computer, copy the files in your internal storage and place them in a safe folder on your computer, proceed to wipe the device as stated, then copy the files back onto the device, should take care of your internal storage.

That might work, in theory it should, as long as u go back to 5.1.1, or u could just make a data only backup in twrp, download the factory image, whether it be 6.0 or 5.1.1, use the pc and adb to manually flash the images, do this
1) make data only backup, move that backup to pc
2) extract the images, both the tgz file and the zip file inside to a safe location, u only need the radio, boot, system, and userdata images if 6.0, just system and userdata if 5.1.1
3) use adb to flash these images like this:
fastboot flash radio "radio.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot "boot.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash system "system.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot bootloader
Then boot to recovery, flash your backup and that's should be it

No u can't use the factory reset button in settings as the stock room won't recognize twrp, u can however use twer and wipe cache, data, and dalvik cache, or just do the reg factory reset wipe under wipe which should work as well as a factory reset, why are u trying to factory reset tho, if I might ask

because my nexus 5 showing 14gb instead of 32gb. I heard a factory reset will help the problem. I just dont know which factory reset (recovery or in setting) to do.
but if i use twrp wiping cache, data and dalvik (leaving system and internal storage alone).... will it wipe my lollipop os too? will it wipe my storage too?
what is the different between the factory reset under setting and the factory reset under twrp?
sorry for so many questions....

Ok so to answer your question, u can wipe anything EXCEPT Internal Storage, system, and boot and you won't lose anything, personally I would do this, boy twrp and use the regular factory reset, this will error everything except got the OS and internal storage, if that didn't work then I would manually format the partitions
