Hi.
Something strange happend to my Nexus 5. I can't turn it OFF, boot into bootloader, custom recovery, factory reset, nothing. My phone is on now and everything is working (charging is working too).

Still nothing. After doing it, the google logo appears and it boots to the system. Unable to turn it off...
Is your battery life suddenly abysmal, too? I am facing the same problem. I suspect franco kernel, cause I am stock plus franco.
Battery drain is ok. In my opinion it's Franco kernels' fault. But there's literally nothing we can do...
Try adb reboot recovery?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I could get into recovery:
Reboot with the normal reboot menu in Android, but hold Vol+ and Vol-. When the device reboots, you get into bootloader, from there into recovery.
Just reflashed my system.img and boot.img from stock to uninstall franco.
Will report back.
PS: Also had Lightflow installed, anyone else?
EDIT: This solved the reboot problem. If the battery drain is fixed I can only tell after a day or so.
EDIT2: Seems that the drain has also been fixed. Not completely sure yet.
EDIT3: Yeah, definitely solved. Will stay away from custom kernels for now.
Thanks man! You the best for sure sth is wrong with Franco, not sure about other kernels. Be aware guys! Think I'll stick to the stock kernel for a while...
I am unable to switch off my Google Nexus 5, tried holding down the power button for more than 30 seconds + but nothing happenes, the screen is blank (can just multicoloured dots - pixekl?), even tried holding down the vol up / down keys alongwith the power button but results are still the same.. do I need to wait for the battery to run down or is there any other way to switch off / factory reset the phone

Try to factory reset the phone. Instructions from official htc site:
Performing a factory reset using hardware buttons
If you can’t turn HTC One S on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC One S.
Important: The Fast boot option in Settings > Power must not be selected.
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.

Already did that, used the RUU and it worked, sort of...
if it power ups completely I cant reboot it because it goes back to a bootloop and the Wifi doesn't work it gives an error when you try to start it.
Its starting to drive me nuts

Have you flashed custom ROM or recovery previously? No unlocked bootloader?

i flashed the latest nightly of AOKP today and then restored all my apps and data with titanium backup. When the restore was complete it prompted me to reboot my device so i did. ever since then i have been unable to reboot my phone as it is stuck on the start up screen. i then tried to restore from a backup of my other rom and then found out that i couldn't boot into the boot loader as when i held down the power and + volume button the startup would begin and then the phone would turn off. any ideas on how to fix this.
What it's happening is your stuck in a boot loop.
When you are holding power and volume down the phone is only interested in the power button part. Which is why it's powering off.
Just keep the buttons held both power and volume down. When it powers off keep them held and you should come into the bootloader

Not sure if the quote is a typo or not, but it should be power and - volume. You can also try power and both volume buttons, which will take you to the secondary boot loader.

I assumed the op was able to completely power down by just continuing to hold the power button and possibly had the wrong button combo.
What do you mean by start up screen?
You see the screen tells you "Google" and it stays there?

Hold your power button down for 30 to 60 seconds. You should be powered down. Then try to get into the boot loader. Vol down + power. Dues it get into bootloader?

Hi guys.
Sorry for bumping but I have the same issue and for me it wasn't fixed by going in recovery mode. I already tried deleting cash, and even tried getting back to factory settings. But still, when i restart the phone, the same loop keeps occuring.
At first it always just went to 'google' and then rebooted and rebooted. Now it just keeps stuck with the google logo (the 4 colour image).
Could someone help me possibly?
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Try LG flashtool. Link in my signature. If you have the 32GB version of the american nexus 5 (D820) you can use the converted firmware without any problem. It was tested numerous time.
You can also try to reflash stock google rom in fastboot mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
If you are using LG flashtool and you get error about cant format userdata and/or cache or by checking the flashing log you see timeout errors then your phone have a fauilty emmc. If you are using the fastboot method and you see "remote: flash write failure" text in the CMD window then you have fauilty emmc. Your only option is to rma your phone if bought from google or claim your warranty from LG if your phone is not from Google and you have the receipt of your phone.
I am running CM 11 M5 but I think it has nothing to do with it as I have been running it for sometime and this only started happening yesterday.
When I reboot my phone it goes into bootloader and it is stuck meaning I can't do anything. When I take out the battery and insert it again within seconds it automatically goes into bootloader and is still stuck. The way I get back into the phone is by pressing power + volume down button immediately after inserting the battery. Then it boots normally.
I have done a factory reset of my rom. And if I reboot into recovery it does manage to do that, however when I reboot from recovery it goes back to the bootloader.
What could be the problem here? Regularly rebooting this old phone is almost necessary to keep the performance acceptable so this is really important for me.
Thanks in advance.
Can you replicate it after clean flash of the ROM?

Ahhh I thought about doing this but since my power button is very hard to work with I decided to just do a factory reset. Oh well I'll get down to it tomorrow.
Should I install a touch recovery for the Nexus S? Even my volume buttons are starting to die. Or would you say I should not attempt to change recovery right now?

Flash a touch recovery from fastboot or from recovery. It's an absolute necessity.
Also, I've been using SlimKat (Build 3) and never had to reboot to regain performance. Use it if you want...

Suddenly my phone (z710e) jumped into a loop boot.
It's not rooted, no custom stuff, no custom bootloader.
It loads fine, but after 1-2 seconds reboots.
I've already tried to unbrick it with no result, computer can't see my phone.
Help with an advice or a link or anything useful will be great!
Thanks!

If i remember correctly you can wipe cache from the stock recovery. Boot into hboot by holding down volume down and power. Use the volume buttons to highlight recovery and press power. Then you will see a little android or a red exclamation in a triangle. Press the volume buttons and power until options appear on the screen. If it gives you wipe cache, them wipe it. Other wipe options may/will remove your personal data so use caution and know the risks

Okay, remove your battery then replace after 10 seconds. Then hold volume down first, then while volume down is still depressed begin holding power as well. If you see the htc splash screen then it has failed. Battery pull and try again. Have you ever used adb on this device?

it doesn't matter if you have fastboot enabled
you can still have access to the bootloader when removing battery and putting it back

I've tried to remove battery and reboot before, nothing changed.
adb - no, did not used
Solution was - to disassemble it and assemble... After that phone booted normally. :victory:
Thank you all for your replies!
I have a Nexus 5 whose buttons quit working yesterday. The power and volume buttons will not work at all or respond to anything at all. Strangely, I can hold the power and volume buttons and it will throw the phone into recovery and the buttons work fine there. However, no response whatsoever while booted into the OS.
Prior to this happening the phone was stock, not rooted, locked bootloader.
In an attempt to fix it, I have done a FDR--didnt work.
I also flashed Android 5.0 and Android 4.4.4 factory images thinking it might have been a corrupted file or something. However, having done that a couple times it still isn't working. Any ideas?
Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Are you still under warranty? I'd rma the device

Out of warranty. I hesitate to call it hardware because it works while I am in the bootloader screen and the buttons allow me to put the phone into bootloader. Just won't work in OS

So, all the buttons work if your in the bootloader or recovery? I'd try flashing the factory image and see if they work then. It'll wipe your device so back up first.

Correct. The buttons do not work at all in the OS. But if I press them to take me into bootloader/recovery if I hold em down they will get me there. Once in bootloader/recovery, they work flawlessly.
I tried flashing factory images of both 4.4.4 and 5.0. Did not work.

I can't boot into safe mode. That requires holding the power button until the power dialogue comes up. Then pressing and holding "power off."
The button does not work, hence I cannot go into safe mode. If I hold the power button long enough, it will eventually reboot the phone though.

Enter safe mode with the phone off.
Press and hold power until you see the google logo. Then release power and press and hold volume down until booted. You should be in safe mode.
Same Problem!
