Dudes,
I was running CM 0701 nightly fine and decided to boot to CWM-based recovery and flash latest nightly from 0703. It got about 2/3 the way through updating apps after boot and froze. Then screen stayed black, but would backlight. Was unresponsive to touch, but I could get it to take screenshots (at least I could hear the sound made by triggering one). I longpressed the power button to force reboot and entered bootloader. Finally I could see the screen again. I thought all was better and it just needed a reboot so I reboot again and let it boot. Still no screen. So I longpressed to reboot, got into bootloader, then revovery... and tryed to reflash nightly from 0701 but it won't access my "/sdcard" because it won't mount. Same error ("Error mounting /data!) when I try to fatory reset or mount/unmount.
WTH?!
Anybody have any ideas what broke this? What it a change in last two nightlies? A change to the recovery?
I'm going to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/help-e-mount-sdcard-cwm-6-0-4-5-trying-t2802715 when I get home... in way too many hours. Sadface.
I also posted this in CM Forums: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...cant-mount-data-after-0703-nightly-boot-fail/

Thanks @rootSU. Ultimately and unexpectedly the phone came back to life before I could get to a computer with adb access. I had tried rebooting several times before, but magically after about 6 hours of downtime (no charge or anything) it rebooted up fine. It was a little shaky and slow at first, and ran the update apps process again on the next boot but has since be stable. No flashing. A couple reboots. All fine.
Thanks to the XDA community for existing and providing such a reassuring resource for knowledge and problem solving!
I have an acer a700 and it was stuck on the acer startup screen. I tried an official factory reset using the acer firmware and got the red exclamation android symbol. I managed to unlock the bootloader and install CWM . I decided to try a custom rom and snagged the nightly CM-11 that was in the the suggested Roms thread. It started up I got to the welcome screen and I thought everything was going well except the AOSP keyboard kept crashing. Because the AOSP keyboard kept crashing I decide to try an older version to see if it was a bug, so I went with CM 10.2. I did the standard factory reset in CWM, wiped the cache, and the dalvik cache. On the next reboot It goes through the CM boot screen, then it hangs and reboots. It does this repeatedly. I tried the AOSP rom, and I tried Pacman as well. They all do the same. I tried to go back with the original CM that at least let me boot but now it's doing the same thing as well. CWM works every time and everything else checks out on the tablet. Do you think that it's got a hardware problem?
I have tried dling the roms again to make sure that it's not a crc error. Clock work mod works fine, I can format everything without a hitch and the bootloader is unlocked. I'm beginning to think I have a brick.
Cant flash Cyanogen, recovery faulty & weird crashes in stock on refurbished Nexus 5
Hey guys,
so I recently got a "refurbished" replacement for my Nexus 5 and I decided since im starting out fresh (can't access the data on the old one), I'll try out Cyanogen mod.
I can assure you that I followed all the instructions exactly. At some point I checked every download for his checksums and all were ok.
Each time I started the process by flashing a factory image (flash-all.bat), to have a clean start.
I also tried to wipe cache/dalvik cache/data afterwards, but not always. This didn't change the behavior.
These things happened to me while trying to accomplish the task, and working around the issues as they arised:
Flashing TWRP: High (3 of 4) chance that TWRP wouldn't even start up, the phone would hang and just flash the TWRP background picture on screen.
When I did get through to TWRP, applying the Cyanogenmod .zip got stuck at "patching system image unconditionally". Let it go on for hours.
I figured that TWRP was broken and tried Clockworkmod instead. CWM at least always started after flashing it. But same as TWRP, it failed in installing the Cyanogenmod .zip. I tried putting it onto the phone by going into the stock android and then through adb push command, but also through sideloading directly into CWM.
What I noticed when going into the stock ROM was, that a lot of Google processes were failing during the initial setup (where it wants to know ur WiFi, date, Google acc, etc), like Maps, Settings, Play Services, and some others. Sometimes they were failing so hard it was impossible to type in the WiFi passphrase because the notifications of different "xxx has stopped working" were coming to fast, sometimes not a single one was failing. I could not find any pattern to this. When they were failing so hard I couldn't get through the initial setup I would just flash the stock again, until I got only some of them failing, or none at all.
Back to CWM and installing the Cyanogenmod .zip:
It failed with different errors. I got status 0, status 1, I think I once got status 6 or 7, but half of the time it hanged exactly where TWRP was hanging. The errors were random. After getting status X, I would sideload it right again, to get other status Y, sideload again, to get the hang. Could not recognize a pattern.
During this I switched USB ports, and cables, and even tried using my laptop instead of the desktop. One of the cables was faulty, it didn't even allow a connection, but any other setup showed the same behaviour.
Is there anything else I can/should try? Is it my fault, or is the phone bad?
Assuming the phone is bad, I suppose I still could get a stock running without the crashes, so it would _feel_ like the phone is alright (which is what Google probably did before sending it out again as "refurbished"), but I think there would be errors in the future, also I don't want a phone with such an uncertainty. Would they swap it? Also, it is a LG-D820, which means it might have issues with european LTE, haven't gotten to trying that out since I don't use LTE right now, nor will I in the near future.
Best regards,

Hi.
According to what you say, it seems an hardware problem of you phone. Don't know if it may help but you can try installing an older factory image (for example kitkat) and seeing if the "force closing" problems are still there. If your phone is ok it should be able to run a factory image at least.
Download the nexus root toolkit, create a nandroid backup, then when either in CWM or TWRP wipe everything off the phone then try to flash a ASOP rom like Cataclysm if nothing else works then I don't know how to help sorry-.-
So I tried to get the stock ROM up and running again, and it seems even that is not possible. Several processes keep crashing during various tasks, even when idling. After having a short chat with Google Support about the issues I got an RMA offered, so things are cool. I locked the phone again, set the tamper-bit to false and wiped everything.
Hi! Long story short: My oneplus one has started to behave weird since last month.
I was on cm13 latest nightly and boeffla kernel.
Device worked great UNTIL you perform a reboot. (I had liveboot app installed and the log started to show an abnormal error code causing a bootloop. "unable to open mixer card 0, then 1, then 2 and so on. )
Every time i reboot and this error starts, it bootloops, or starts. But when boeffla kernel default settings apply, device freezes and shutted off. (I checked this by changing the time that boeffla app waits until it applies default config).
At first i thought a clean flash was needed, i usually dirty flash nightlies and some times i start over with a clean flash.
I identified that this error " mutes" the device and causes audiofx app to FC until the phone dies.
I related this to the thread "brickloop EFS corrupt" but i didnt have any time to try anything.
Last week device shutted of because of low battery and hard bricked itself. (Well, qdloader 9008. Not a hard brick, properly speaking but there is a fix with the chinese colorOS zip)
Now this is the first weird thing... Devices dont just hardbrick itselves.
But battery was dead, really dead, and caused the mbn image flashing in the chinese tool to loop and device connect and reconnect on every attempt to flash this first file. (For those experiencing this issue i can confirm is the battery dead, and sahara error code is a corrupted file on the folder).
I have another oneplus one, so switched batteries and was able to flash the damn thing.
Now, back from dead i had none imei, baseband, bluetooth or wifi and audioFx FC.
I tried reflashing the persist, reserve4, modem1 and 2.
I tried formatting mmckbl0p15 with terminal command.
I installed colorOS, then switched to cm12 and got back my baseband, but still none of the other things.
I downloaded the "nightmare fix" full folder from the brickloop thread and followed the steps. No result on any flashing attempt.
On a random cm12.1 flashing attempt i got back wifi and bluetooth and imei showed now "0"
Using the "el hechizero" method i had rewritten the imei number with QPST and got the signal back and sim card detection. But it looped from "no sim" to "no service" all the time.
From there, i fastboot flashed cm11 44s and got everything running. Wifi, sim card, bluetooth, imei. All except audio. Device is mute, audiofx FC. And i have to reboot it several times until i get it working.
Now i am where i started. Stuck on cm11 44s. Any other rom flashing causes a hardbrick if i go with fastboot. And if it boots, something will not work, wifi, or sim detection. And audioFx FC on ANY rom (after 10 or 15 reboots it works until i reboot again) and random shut downs. (Not reboots, device just freezes and shuts off)
Of course i dont have a EFS backup, just another oneplus one that works like a charm running cm13 and boeffla.
I tried MANY things. It only leads to qdloader or faulty roms. Cm11 44s works stable enough as long as i get it to boot with audio and keep the phone charged.
Anu suggestions? Maybe i should start to think about a faulty motherboard?
Hi, this is my first post here. I've been using Oneplus one since 2014 and recently I facing a really strange issue. I have the CM 11.0-XNPH30O running in my OPO. I tried to flash LineageOS 15.1 and 14.1 but those got stuck in the boot and kept restarting after a certain period of time. That is why I had to come back to CM 11. Now the problem is, if I install a certain type of apps like- Viber/Whatsapp/Messenger/Greenify/Android health checker/Imo etc. then the phone restarts and does not boot, it falls in a bootloop. But I have installed some other apps(instagram) and games and those work totally fine. So, if I boot the phone into safe mode and then uninstall the apps that cause this bootloop (viber/messenger) and reboot, then the phone behaves normal again. I don't understand why this is happening. I wiped the phone clean a several times and tried to flash other ROMs but unfortunately no effect. Could anyone please give me suggestions? Thanks.
Note: I replaced my battery recently because the previous one was got me in the nonstop bootloop.
