Go into the stock recovery, clear cache and then factory reset
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app

Revert to factory settings from the menu or wipe data from the recovery. You need the stock recovery

My stock recovery is broken, I am now doing factory reset from settings. Now I have to figure out why the stock recovery is broken, showing dead android with red triangle. Tried fastbooting the stock recovery again but same result.

Try
fastboot format cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
To get into the stock recovery you need to hit vol up when you see the dead android

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.

Enter Stock recovery??

Anybody know how to enter stock recovery? button combination?
Ive tried power on plus up, and power on plus down. I would just flash CWM and make it easy, but i might be returning the phone to tmobile for my screen bleed soon and want the phone to remain stock for now.
SO anyone know how to get into stock recovery?
On the dev forum there's an image of the stock recovery. Sorry i'm on the phone
why? what are you trying to do? if you never flashed cwm, vol. down and power will do a factory reset. as of now, there is no way to enter the stck recovery. just a factory reset.

Not true.
I posted a way to get to stock recovery
Download rom manager
Go to settings, SD and phone storage then unmount phone storage
Now
Go to rom manager and reboot into recovery then it takes you to a screen when you hit home and it shows the blue stock recovery screen....
Not sure how to make selections though

nexus 5 stuck booting

I received my nexus 5 today. Unlocked the bootloader. Tried to install twrp. Gave up and decided to put it back to stock using multitool kit. Toolkit showed as every thing completed successfully but the phone doesn't get past the nexus boot screen. I can boot into the bootloader but that's it. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Same happened to me after unlocking the bootloader. Here's what you need to do.
Boot into the bootloader and enter recovery.
Press and hold power and quickly press volume up, that will open the menu.
Wipe data/factory reset.
The phone will reboot and you should be good to go.

Looks like Google fixed the by-pass data wipe exploit we used with the n4.

Press and hold Power + Volume Up + Volume Down all at the same time. It will power down the device (it sometimes takes a while, so keep holding down the buttons for at least 10 seconds). Then Power + Volume Down to boot into recovery.

You have the stock recovery on your phone, not team win. You say you've done a factory reset in the recovery? Try that again first. If that doesn't work then flash the factory image.

Stuck at Boot
Hi guys,
Installed TWRP and everything is fine. Tried to install Cynagonmod 11S but it always failed. So I reboot to System and now all I can see if Google text with little unlock icon at bottom. Can't power off to move to recovery. Please help me what to do!
Looping on Teamwin screen
Hi! I don't know what to do anymore. I rooted my Nexus 5 and I install Lollipop. I don't remember what I did now my device loop on the Teamwin screen. I can go to the fastboot mode ( Power + volume down) and that's it. I can not go in the recovery mode because it's bringing me back to the teamwin screen and keep looping. Can you help me?

Won't boot past Google bootscreen, TWRP can't mount any partition

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?

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

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.

Nexus soft-Bricked :(

Hey, xda people.
I have a consult here:
I have a hammerhead bright red (if that is useful to know) and I install the AOKP in the latest version, with root and super su. I install the ROM toolbox app from the play store and in there there is a feature in which you can install ROMs and ROM utilities. One of them is the Franco kernel so I went ahead and installed, thought TWRP, but because I didn't knew there were going to be any problems I didn't do any kind of wipe. My phone then boot into the Google loading screen but stuck there indefinitely. I tried getting into the bootloader/recovery and repowering my phone but it made no difference.
Hope you can help me up, cheers!
(All ideas are thanked)

Dude, it's impossible for me to get into the fastboot, it just won't load to me
Hold power about 10 sec(hard reboot)until device powers off to reboot and then hold volume down. This will get you into the bootloader using volume keys toggle to and select recovery using power. In twrp reflash rom. Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. If that doesn't work you can do the same except wipe for clean flash flag ROM gapps reboot. If all else fails go to boot loader and flash factory images via fastboot.
Edit... You say it won't load meaning you can't get there?
If you will be flashing images it will wipe your device so that's a last option.

What kind of Brick is that?

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
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
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.
