So here's the deal, I get a prompt for the new android update so I let the phone do its thing. When it finally finished it was in recovery mode, for some unholy reason I decided to navigate the menu instead of just rebooting. I press Vol Down to nav downwards then I tried to press Vol Up but it wouldn't go up. Confused, I proceed to press the only other button on the Phone, the power button.
Long story short I ended selecting 'wipe cache partition', the phone got stuck, I did a hard reboot. The phone is finally booting up and 'optimising apps'. Finally in, I realised the phone is acting up, doesn't connect to network. I checked the IMEI number, returns nothing. Gg wp
Kind of freaking out, would appreciate any advice
Thank you

Wipe data and cache and then reboot. You might need to format and then remount system and then reflash the zip after wiping data/cache if that doesn't work.

Can you get to stock recovery?

You'll have to look up directions for that online. I've never even heard of your phone. If you can get into stock recovery then wipe everything and start over.

Let's hope the recovery method is the same as the newer version.
Found it here.
Here are the directions:
First of all, here is how to enter Recover Mode:
- Shut down your tablet if you have not done so
- Press and hold Volume Minus button
- Still holding Volume Minus button, hold the Power button
- When the screen displays the Android logo, release Power button but still holding on to the Volume Minus button
- After some time you will the recovery mode logo of an Android with molecules-like structures in its body, you can then release all buttons
- Wait a while more and you will enter Recover Mode, it says Android System recover on the top left
Looks similar to my Samsung one.
Problem solved guys

Glad you got it worked out.
Need help guys.
Don't know what happened, but after the kid's Tf300 booted, it's at the google sign in. But the tablet does not have wifi so there's no way to sign in.
So it's been stucked like that for days now. And since we can't sign in, we couldn't turn on wifi. I don't care if we have to factory reset or wipe the system as long as I can get it to work again.
Thanks much for your help.

I've never had the problem but using google search string - android phone locked google account no wifi - gets many hits.
This one looks promising.
Good Luck!
Maybe some with experience on this tablet will respond.
Press and hold the power button at the same time as the volume button.
It will reset the device into recovery mode.
Read the text that shows up, it will tell you to use the volume down button to select the option you wish to choose which is to restore to default (last option on the right), press volume up to select it.
It will wipe your device to factory settings (basically like when you took it out of its box on the first day).
Do not use Wipe Data unless you have stock recovery.
If you have twrp or cwm you will probably brick your tablet!
Thanks guys. I've been trying the Power+Volume Up combo to try to get into recovery but it's not working. Maybe I am not doing it right. The tablet is still on factory ROM. Not rooted nor unlocked.

Power and volume down to get into the bootloader. This is the one you want.

Care to tell us exactly what you're doing? For me, the easiest method is to power down, then hold the volume up button and press + hold power (holding volume up while powering down works as well for me-- yes, I still lift and press the power button again to reboot.).
You should shutdown your tablet.
Then you hold down the power button AND the volume-down button.
After the screen turns on you can choice wipe data by volume-down and confirm your choice with volume-up.
Now your tablet should run with the factory settings. At your first start you choice your country and your wifi, so your problem should be solved
i flashed the latest nightly of AOKP today and then restored all my apps and data with titanium backup. When the restore was complete it prompted me to reboot my device so i did. ever since then i have been unable to reboot my phone as it is stuck on the start up screen. i then tried to restore from a backup of my other rom and then found out that i couldn't boot into the boot loader as when i held down the power and + volume button the startup would begin and then the phone would turn off. any ideas on how to fix this.
What it's happening is your stuck in a boot loop.
When you are holding power and volume down the phone is only interested in the power button part. Which is why it's powering off.
Just keep the buttons held both power and volume down. When it powers off keep them held and you should come into the bootloader

Not sure if the quote is a typo or not, but it should be power and - volume. You can also try power and both volume buttons, which will take you to the secondary boot loader.

I assumed the op was able to completely power down by just continuing to hold the power button and possibly had the wrong button combo.
What do you mean by start up screen?
You see the screen tells you "Google" and it stays there?

Hold your power button down for 30 to 60 seconds. You should be powered down. Then try to get into the boot loader. Vol down + power. Dues it get into bootloader?

Hi guys.
Sorry for bumping but I have the same issue and for me it wasn't fixed by going in recovery mode. I already tried deleting cash, and even tried getting back to factory settings. But still, when i restart the phone, the same loop keeps occuring.
At first it always just went to 'google' and then rebooted and rebooted. Now it just keeps stuck with the google logo (the 4 colour image).
Could someone help me possibly?
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Try LG flashtool. Link in my signature. If you have the 32GB version of the american nexus 5 (D820) you can use the converted firmware without any problem. It was tested numerous time.
You can also try to reflash stock google rom in fastboot mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
If you are using LG flashtool and you get error about cant format userdata and/or cache or by checking the flashing log you see timeout errors then your phone have a fauilty emmc. If you are using the fastboot method and you see "remote: flash write failure" text in the CMD window then you have fauilty emmc. Your only option is to rma your phone if bought from google or claim your warranty from LG if your phone is not from Google and you have the receipt of your phone.
Hi,
I have an ATT LG G3. I've got it rooted, have done a NAND backup, and am now trying to flash a new ROM. I'm trying to get into recovery either via ADB or the old fashioned way by button press, but in either case--after commanding the phone to go to recovery--I seem to get stuck in fastboot mode instead. In tiny print it will say something like "processing fastboot commands" or "fastboot mode started" and then just hangs there....forever. I have to remove the battery and then the phone boots back up normally. But I just can't seem to get into recovery anymore.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Frustrated Noob
Power off your device and wait for 5-10 seconds until the device is fully switched off.
Press and hold ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons together and release them as soon as you see the LG logo on your phone’s screen.
Now immediately press and hold the ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons again until you see the ‘Hard reset screen’
Press power button once, and then again to confirm hard reset. If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone won’t hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.
Get the app quickboot. Doesn't work with lollipop yet though.

Thanks for replying. If you mean the "factory data reset" prompt, that just brings me to the fastboot screen again. Just tried it. Unless you're referring to another option???

Sound like u didn't install the bumped twrp. Just download the bumped twrp from the development thread and use flashify to flash it. Easiest way. Or u could follow there instructions. But flashify is easier. If u did already do this. Then I don't know why it's not booting into twrp recovery.

Hey there,
I am Nexus 5 user. Recently I updated my phone to Lolipop 5.0.1. At first the phone worked fine. A few days later the background apps started restarting. That was still manageable. A week back the phone started restarting. So I read about in a Google Forum, it advised to delete partition cache from the 'Recovery Mode' . I did so. It worked and phone stopped restarting. Now a week later the problem started again. So I wiped partition cache. But during the process the battery ran out and the phone switched off.
Now when I try to switch on the phone, the Google logo appears and then the phone freezes in the boot animation.
The phone boots into bootloader(power button + volume up + volume down), but when I try to get into Recovery Mode, an android is displayed with a red exclamation mark.
The bootloader is locked, so I can't flash the original image.
Need help to get the phone back.
Additional info about the device:
a. Nexus 5 32GB
b. Lolipop 5.0.1
c. Locked bootloader/ unrooted
d. Still in warranty.
The dead android is recovery mode. When you see that press and hold the power button then press and release vol up. Try a factory reset in there. Note, it will wipe your device so backup first if you can.

This isnt't working. Holding the power button and volume button together does nothing. Holding only the power button puts the phone back in boot loop. Any other suggestions?

I think you're going to have to unlock the bootloader and flash the factory image. If that doesn't work then you have a hardware issue.

If it doesn't turn on there is nothing you can do. You need to be able to boot into the bootloader. Usb debugging doesn't matter. You don't need it on to run fastboot commands.

Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll setup adb and fastboot on your pc. Then boot the device into the bootloader, open a command window on your pc and then with your device connected via usb cable type into the command window

You don't need to get into recovery. Boot into the bootloader, unlock it, then flash the factory image. All that is done in the bootloader, not recovery.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
There is little confusion here @ShobhitJethani. Let's make things clear.
Bootloader mode (or fastboot mode) is when you press and hold volume_down+power keys.
Recovery mode is when you select the recovery mode with the power key in the bootloader mode.
To enable the menu options in stock recovery you have to PRESS and HOLD the POWER key and while you do that you just PRESS the VOLUME_UP key and then you RELEASE the VOLUME_UP key and then you can RELEASE the POWER key too.
What you did is starting to press and hold volume _up and power keys at the same time which is wrong.
Also, to unlock bootloader you just have to put the phone to bootloader mode. You dont have to do anything special before that.
I hope you now understand.
I somehow managed to remove the tamper flag and then gave it to the service center. They flashed KitKat on the phone. And now I also have updated my phone to 5.1 OTA. Thanks to everyone for trying to help me.
