I don't know how to call this - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I was trying to make a screen record with the Gravity Box feature, but I can't stop it for a bug (I think) so I have rebooted the phone.
Now there is this circle when I tap somewhere (look at the keyboard)
What should I do?
I have already deleted Gravity Box, but nothing...

I don't know why, but in the recovery, when it says "no command" I was not able to see other options even if I held power off and the volume + button... Am I doing something wrong?

Boot into the bootloader, then use the vol keys to get to recovery. You should see an android laying on it's back. Push the vol up key to get into the recovery

I know, I'm saying that when I am in the recovery I only see the android with "no command"

go into developer options and make sure show touches are off

Ahahah, you're right, I think that the video auto enables that command...
I thought it was a feature of the video, thanks everybody

[q] nexus 5 freezed after unlocking the bootloader(wugfesh toolkit)

Hi guys i am new to xda ...yesterday i unlocked the bootloader by wugfresh's toolkit but after i unlocked the bootloader my phone freezed at the green robot screen i pressed up ,down ,power buttons but the phone didnt respond so i just pressed the up down +power button did just shut it down,...and started it again (i had my heart in my mouth)...then it started successfully +i also rooted it successfully.....my phone workx like a charm now.....so my question is ...has this happened to any user anytime during unlocking the bootloader ???is this a common issue??is my phone safe??plzzz....reply guys as soon as possible
Search in the wugfresh toolkit thread. Sounds like you had a temporary glitch. Your phone should be 'safe', although I'm not entirely sure what 'safe' means.

If you didn't mod the system files then the original owner did. To resolve, flash stock factory 4.4.2 images. If you did a factory reset when you got the phone, and don't want to start over, flash the img files one at a time with fastboot (excluding userdata.img).
If you don't know how to do that, check out the stickies (I think in general). There is a very detailed thread there.
The phone was brand new when I got it. I believe it said update ready for download when I did the factory reset.. Now it just says that..

you can take the ota update through wi-fi only...
no need to reset. but i prefer to do it to prevent any system app from crashing and to have a fresh firmware.
All you had to do was connect to wifi. That update required you to do that. "Via wifi only".

Oh. Thats odd, but I guess you got it working, so thats good.
Your screen shot shows that your not connected to Wi-Fi. It says you have to be connected to Wi-Fi to update.

Unable to mount /sdcard0

Started having an issue with dirty unicorns so I went to wipe in recovery and I tried installing a new rom and it failed. Next time I tried wipe it says unable to mount /system. Tried mounting sdcard0 and same issue, unable to mount /sdcard0. Haven't hooked up to PC yet at work all day. Any ideas? Will upload logs after work. Any help would be great using backup phone that's half busted. Thanks!!!

You might have to Odin flash the stock firmware. Sdcard0 is the internal sdcard. It might be hardware failure. I'd flash the stock firmware and see if you still have the problem

Odin got suck on system until this morning only way to end it was pull the plug which inevitably corrupted any data on there AND removed my recovery... can still get into download mode but after 20 mins never got past "Nand write start" am I doomed?

I'd keep trying Odin. Different usb ports different cable. Odin can be finicky and it's your only hope at this point.

Then your internal memory has probably failed. The device is old and it happens

Yeah i was just hoping to not hear that. I bought the phone about 3 montha ago for $100 but whatever. I just got a note now. But thanks for the reply anyway!!

No signal

Today I received a phone recharge, and the first 5 minutes after this recharge everything was good, but then, with no sense, my smartphone didn't receive the signal.
Like I said, the first 5 minutes the device is good, in fact I called my friend with no problems...
I tried to change the SIM, but it doesn't work anyway...
What can I do?

Assuming the reprovision didn't work and you can confirm its not the SIM card damaged.. You could always flash a different radio in recovery or return to stock 4.4.4 via factory image to verify its not the software it'll also flash the latest stock radio.
Unfortunately my pc doesn't work, so I can't do nothing for now, there are other things that I can try?

Mmm... can I restore the nandroid backup of two days ago, when the signal was received perfectly?

Of course you can restore the nandroid. I'd do a full wipe first just to make sure everything is cleaned up.

Flash the factory image in fastboot and see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't it could be a hardware issue.
Edit, I see you don't have a pc Can you borrow one?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Today I'm gonna send it to repair, I hope that I can have the pc as soon as possible...
Anyway, in the hardware problem case, can I send it to LG?
I don't have the Google warranty...

Also tried to flash the rom's update, but it still the same.
So my last hope is to flash the factory image, but I have no pc at the moment.

Install Philz Touch. Wipe all partitions and flash vomer's stock 4.4.4 rom via recovery. This should be enough in most cases to rule out a software issue. But I agree, fastboot cleaning has solved my problems which recovery wipes couldn't!
Ok, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it when I recover my pc
