First of, there was a series of crash reports regarding installed applications in my normally operating Nexus 7(2013). Then I had to push power button to turn it off.. Later when I turned it on, it didn't turned on completely, just ended in series of crash reports <com.android.keyguard failed.... com.android.systemui failed>>
Later I tried to factory reset it from the fastboot screen. I boot it into recovery mode and selected wipe all option as described in support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836?hl=en (Reset device in Recovery mode)...
It too got unresponsive while it was displaying wiping userdata.... Then again I had to power it off by pressing power button continuously.. Later it stopped booting in recovery mode as well... Just stucked in Google logo screen
Now according to some threads.. I tried to flash it.. but again while unlocking the bootloader by doing "fastboot oem unlock", it gets stuck while displaying.........
(bootloader) Unlocking bootloader...
(bootloader) erasing userdata...
There's nothing after this even for hours and it continually shows same "warranty void information" in nexus....
Please help me out...

Please help me save my Nexus 5!

Hi!
My N5 hung and shut down abruptly. I tried restarting it but it hung repeatedly at the start screen. Frustrated, I tried factory reset but again it hung repeatedly at the 'erasing data' screen.
I did some hunting and found a soltuion. I downloaded SDK & 4.4.2 image and did a fastboot (i dont know what it means but it seems to have helped everyone) Again, nothing happened (I did unlock the bootloader before doing all of this)
Now I tried factory reset again and just after selecting the "recovery mode" option, the "updates installation" screen appeared and this screen wouldnt go away, at all. I tried to go to the bootloader screen again using the volume down+start keys, but it restarted at the "update installation" screen again and didnt progress any further.
Please help me !
Thanks

Did you follow the tutorial? If you flashed 4.4.2 that is the latest image available. What recovery are you using? Stock I take it if you flashed the factory images? If you turn the phone completely off and then held vol down plus the power it will go to the android guy with his stomach open and this is fastboot. As long as you can get here we are ok.
If you were stock and unrooted hopefully it didn't just tank randomly...

Sounds like the bootloader partition is corrupted. Try holding the power button and both volume buttons with the phone off. That will take you to the backup bootloader. From there you should be able to run flash-all.bat.

[Q] Next launcher causing boot loop... :(

Hi there...it was mere some hours after i got my new moto g...i installed next launcher and pressed "always" instead of "just once" as i pressed the home button. The phone restarted immidiately and is stuck at logo screen forever. Now i tried flashing stock rom through fast boot method but the process gets stuck at "waiting for device" at the first command. That might be because USB debugging is disabled and i can't enable it as the phone doesn't show up anything. i checked the drivers several times but didn't work out.

If your bootloader is unlocked you could use fastboot to fastboot flash a recovery. Then do a factory reset.

NEXUS 5 Stuck on erasing...

Got this nexus 5 unit and trying to fix here, when I try to unlock the bootloader they stuck on this
what should I do?
Yes, erasing can take a lot of time sometimes. I wouldn't suggest you to terminate the operation.. Wait for another 15 mins and see if it gets erased.. If not, start over. Don't forget to reboot bootloader...
Have you tried rebooting recovery (power button/volume down)?

What do you mean by the recovery won't work?? What happens when you select Recovery from the bootloader??
To sum it up, here's your scenario..
Stuck in bootloop, Can't access recovery, can't unlock bootloader as it gets stuck on "erasing"..
I don't think you have much of a choice m8 other than RMA'ing it.. You need access to the recovery or to "unlocked" bootloader if you want to fix anything.

Let me explain, I enter in recovery mode, and I get the options : restart bootloader, recovery mode, power off, and start, it is that recovery mode that I told you that not work, the phone becomes ON but whith black screen, and if I power of and power on again, GOOGLE logo in white appear on the center of the screen and stays stuck on that

Yeah, I got what you meant the first time you explained...
Getting stuck on Google Logo means a bootloop..
Since, you can't access recovery and also unlock the bootloader, you're out of options.. I can't think of anyway to fix this.
My advice would be to switch off the phone.. Let it cool down for 15 mins.. reboot your computer or use another computer.. Try to unlock the bootloader now or try accessing the recovery.. If you still can't, I would RMA it..
Might i suggest flashing the stock google images again, a simple search in the forum or on google will help you with that, they come with a flash-all file that will do all the work for you. just need to download the files to be able to do it and will need to be in bootloader mode for the stock images to flash
If you have tried everything then try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...orial-how-to-flash-factory-images-lg-t2713833

xt1032 BootLoop (Android starting..) can't enter recovery or bootloader.

Hi everyone im stuck on the resurection of my device (moto g 2013 8GB updated to 5.1 with [5.1 GPE 1 click] from This forum.
I've tried everything or almost for now, cant get it out of that loop.
*Battery pulling.
*hard buttons combinations.
*fastboot and ADB. (not in fastboot mode so.. And as i did flash de 1click before the loop USB Dbgn isn't enabled)
*i think i've tried every toolkit on this forum.
*Raped google search for over a week trying every posible method-
*Only thing left is to take it to church for a blessing. but im not a believer D:
ADD: i've rooted with a "boot.img" from this forum i think it was a 2015 file.
before this i had not 1 issue with the phone. just unlockd the bootloader a few days ago and updated to 5.1 from 5.0.2 becouse of a wifi issue (unknow mac adress) i had to reboot it like 10 times until it appeared again (original mac adress from device, still wrote it down i have it somewhere.)
I think this would be my first post on this forum and it took me over a week to do it becouse this (asking you-comunity) is my last resource.
PS: i had it going betwen 5.0.2 and 5.1 like 4 times to try solving the wifi issue.. only thing it got me was the "line" on the screen like if it where a problem with vertical sync. (i think you are all very familiar with that issue after downgrading the kernel i think.)
the phone just turns it self on everytime. (everytime)
i was able to boot into recovery before the last flash touching the place were the hardware volume button goes (with a neddle) untill it didnt workd anymore and i send it to a store to repair the volume rockers. still no recovery or bootloader boot.
my pc (laptop with 7-32bit recognices it as xt1032. and the one with xp as MTP.)
I've installed every posible thing that i found to bring it back to life even the android sdk full every pkg from 5.0.2 to 5.1 and extras, Motorola drivers and ADB. tried online searching automated from windows and listing it from a folder with the google one. tried adding the hardware manualy and have every ADB thing that i found on device mng but everyone is wit a yellow triangle. (No USB Debuging enabled so why bother anymore.)
I think that's about it.
You seem to be making things massively over-complicated.
Flash latest TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
Example fastboot command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img​
If you cannot enter TWRP, use ONLY this fastboot command:
fastboot erase userdata​
Via TWRP, flash latest GPE Optimized ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
i m sorry for my english, isnt my native lang. And for making it over complicated.
i cant enter fastboot mode or give any order to the phone trough fastboot on a console.
I have installed a TWRP touch, just cant acces it. dont know if it is the hardware button (Vol -) or what.
so it dosnt show up on fastboot devices nor adb devices.
am i not understanding something ?
Thanks for replying and taking the time to help!

If the volume rocker is not broken, then you should be able to enter fastboot mode. Hold power button until phone turns off completely.

did that, tried pulling the battery off and holding the keys (down and power or just vol down) and starting it. no way it goes into bootloader or recovery. When i do any of those things the phone just powers back up it self and boots into system or tries to, and get stuck in bootloop.
Im gonna try a gtag cable or something like that tomorrow from a friend. would it work to send it to bootloader or recovr?

You said you had the volume rocker repaired - but it seems at least, vol down is not working. I have no experience with jtag kits or commands.

i think it's not repaired properly, or the last time i flashed it fastboot might have send a command like "fastboot normalboot" or something like that. Would that be stoping me from entering recovery mode or fastboot?

Thanks dude i'll read that for sure
Unfortunately i have no access to fastboot that's why even DC Phoenix cannot do anything...
fastboot ... conect phone to PC. If the phone its on or off dosend matter.
After conecting to PC hold volume - and power buton (first volume- !) .... and wait a while ... it may reboot severel times. befor enter fastboot.
After enter fastboot try this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-hard-bricket-how-to-restore-t3739551
I pray to access this damn fastboot mode dude but i've tried everything and i cannot get into it even when i disconnect/reconnect the battery
My opinion is that the phone tries to reboot in order to reset itself but smthg prevent it from rebooting correctly, a friend told me the boot is damaged/corrupted
Go to one of those high street repair shops. They fixed mine for 80 pounds.
The tech tried with his Huawei flashing box but he couldn't detect the phone...
Did your device got unbriked?
No i bought one with the screen broken and i swapped thé motherboards, but the other is still bricked
