I think my Nexus 5 is fried (hopefully not).
I went to check my phone (almost full battery last time I looked), and I notice it's on the boot screen (the google logo with the lock symbol on the bottom) but it won't go past it. Strange, hold power down until it restarts, same thing, stuck at the logo. I am able to get into recovery (TWRP 2.7.0.0). But it can't do anything, can't wipe cache, can't restore/backup, because it can't mount any partition.
I was on stock 4.4.4 rooted, with Franco kernel r54.
Have you guys seen this before!? What should I do?
Can you get into the bootloader? Vol down + power

Yes, that is how I got to recovery. Selected recovery from the bootloader. I can also see the device through fastboot in bootloader mode.

Get the cache.img from the factory image and flash that in fastboot.

Flashed cache.img from the factory image in fastboot, did fastboot reboot, and now it's doing the same thing, stuck at the Google logo.

I'd try the entire factory image then. You could try it without userdata.img to try and save your data

Just noticed you're on that thread too. If it is the /data that's corrupt, or worse, all my partitions are corrupt, what's the best way to pull the data that's in there now? adb? What if I can't mount it?
Wow...it somehow just booted. I installed Philz' recovery and it was saying the same thing, coudln't mount /data, /cache or anything. Told it to reboot into bootloader, that didn't work so I go to power it on and it booted... :/

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. If you don't care about losing your /data, just reinstall TWRP and whatever ROM you're using.
Sounds a bit like your emmc is corrupt

So after this happened I decided to completely reflash it with the stock 4.4.4 image. Now, 2 weeks later I wake up and my phone is off. Won't boot past the Google screen, again. Seriously!? I didn't undervolt it at all this time. Completely stock except root and Franco's r54 kernel.

Try flashing a stock, rooted rom in recovery, just dirty flash it. You'll probably have to use adb to side load or push the rom to the device

I will try that as a last resort, but considering that /data can't be mounted, I'm pretty sure that won't help since it'll just flash system right? The data partition is corrupt (just like last time). I'm trying the method of fixing the corruption through adb based on the link I pasted on the first page.

Hey all, i wiped my system in TWRP recovery and when i hold power, home, and vol down, i get to the TWRP splash screen but then i reboot. Any suggestions?
bump please help
So it will not boot into TWRP fully? How many times have you tried cuz if you rebooted accidentally after wiping system (I've done this), it takes a few tries.
Alternatively, you could Odin flash TWRP (file is in Open1your1eyes0 root thread) and try booting into TWRP then. This increments your flash counter.

No problem. You're saying its booting to the TWRP logo or booting to the Samsung logo? Just wanted to clarify.
Also, hold: power, home, and volume then once it boots release the power button. That seems to be the only way I can cold boot into recovery.

Yeah i hold home, power, and vol down, then it goes Samsung screen > Samsung Galaxy SIII screen > blue TWRP splash screen > reboot to system and freezes. And another thing, if i odin flash this TWRP, will it wipe internal storage by any chance? Its happened one too many times to me

Hmm, weird. What were you doing before which led to this?
Nope, it doesn't wipe internal storage. Just overwrites your recovery partition. When Odin reboots your phone, pull the battery then try booting straight to TWRP. If you still can't boot into recovery try the same steps but flash CWM, flash a rom, and then reinstall TWRP via GooManager.

Just flashed it and it still wouldn't fully boot TWRP. I'm about to try CWM now. What happened was i came from LiquidSmooth AOSP and I was ready to flash Hyperdrive Touchwiz so I wiped all the partitions and flashed the zip. The Aroma Installer froze before it started so i battery pulled and figured I'd retry. It wouldn't boot and now I'm where I am now.

I am on stock 4.4.3. I enabled ART, and then it powered down to reboot, now Im stuck at the nexus boot logo. I know ART takes some time to boot, but its been an hour plus now. Seems like Im stuck, is it possible to switch to dalvik through adb? Or will I be stuck reflashing stock image? BTW, I cant get into recovery, I get the dead android logo only aand cant vol up into it

Could someone please help, my nexus 5 is rooted and has twrp recovery.
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/4-4-4-stock-xperia-devices-ps4-remote-t2868092
Flashed the zip file, then as I was wiping the dalvik cache my phones screen turned off and I was really scared, so pressed the buttons to get back into recovery volume down and power on, boot logo flashed up a twice and then a sigh of relief, then I realised I haven't got any signal on my phone, then looked into my files and they are all gone, I can't install any new apps. the phones internal memory is not showing up.
Just realized that it's not for twrp recovery it was for cwm.:crying:
How do I get out of this and back to normal
Edit -as the phone was wiping dalvik cache when the screen went off, I didnt know it was just turning the screen off, so I interupted it by reseting the device
thanks

Why did you flash something for the Xperia on your device. Try flashing the factory image in fastboot but you might have bricked your device

Luckily the zip just contains /system files on this occasion.
/system/etc/permissions and /system/frameworks
...so flashing a Nexus 5 ROM should remedy the problem.
I have not flashed a custom recovery or tried rooting yet, so stock everything and my storage available is wrong.
How to fix this?
Thanks

Ok so factory reset from settings fixed the storage issue, thanks all.
But nothing fixes my stock recovery, this is so frustrating. Tried your suggestion with the cache and boot.im, even rebooted bootloader and tried and then even tried fastbooting the recovery.img again but nothing. No combination of any button pushes works.

In recovery, hold power button and press vol up. That is what jd meant.
i have the same issue with the storage and stock recovery. followed the suggestion above (formatted cache and flashed boot.img) but did a factory reset from settings (not from stock recovery). This fixed the storage issue but stock recovery is still broken.

I thought my recovery was broken too (never kept my phone stock long enough to see it...) but you just have to push power, volume up, and volume down at the same time to make it show up.
Hi,
i fashed the fresh RMA Nexus 5 of my friend with the latest 5.0.1 image from google. Now it is stuck at this screen.
I tried to reflash via fastboot and LG flashtool. I tried all the usual suspects (manual reflash etc.) but it refuses to boot. If I want to go into stock recovery it still displays the same screen. Please help!
ThX in advance!
Looks like the stock recovery. Press vol up then power. Then release power

probably your bootloader flag wasnt clear, so the recovery is trying to do the usual things as you were flashing (wipe data, etc)
on fastboot
do a format cache
and format userdata
Sorry, but tried. I can get into fastboot but for recovery after vol+ then release Power I geht the same screen
Userdata and cache I did wipe

This was the first thing I did after the usual flash precedure failed. I´m guessing towards a hardware defect! The Device was a fresh RMA Google Nexus 5 running 4.4.4. It was unable to aquire network connection to LTE and 3g Networks and had random reboots from the start. So I tried upgrading, but now it is completely unusable
did you try booting while plugged in to AC charger? just a thought. seen that yesterday on a friends phone, that was behaving erratically.
