What do you mean with "I can't lose my data"
Do you mean your internal storage ??

Open the recovery menu and connect your nexus5 to the pc, after that mount usb storage using TWRP ^^"
That will open your phone on the pc
then, copy everything from your phone to the pc and do whatever you want with the phone ?

That won't change anything :|
Because SuperSU edits the system partition
and maybe it broke some files
Now you have to restore a backup (if you made one)
or flash another rom

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.
They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

I realize there are multiple threads like this but throughout all of them I have not found any that relate to my issue or a combination of them. If I have missed one I apologize in advance and please direct me to that thread then. I was running steel droid what I thought was 5.5 ICS but it looks like it is 5.1 according to the forums. I was previously running steel droid 4.5 GB. I was switching back to 4.5 because I could not get wifi hotspotting to work. I forgot to wipe my cache and went to install 4.5 and I am stuck in bootloop. X+Power gives me the android error screen, M+Power allows me into the main menu but I cannot use AP fastboot, SBF motorola will not pick up my phone and the screen will show a connection to the USB cable. I've never had a problem before but also have never forgotten to wipe the cache so any thoughts would help.

I would but I get android error screen with exclamation mark each time regardless of how I access recovery X+Power or vol +,- and Power then going to recovery, I wouldn't have thought that not wiping the cache would have been the cause but it was the one step I didn't do that I normally always do so I was just adding it in for information but thanks for the know how that it wasn't the cause. Any other thoughts since I cant even get into my backup ROM or recovery, I have another SD card not sure if my SD card has become fried for some reason, I will be trying that to see if maybe that is all it is.

Unfortunately you can easily tell that it is not stock ROM by bootloop
Well your computer should recognize your droid that's a common problem with Odin and Samsung one of these steps always work so try then and seen if we can't get your droid recognized NUMBER 4 WILL WORK 99% OF THE TIME BUT TRY THE OTHER METHODS FIRST 1. Use the stock cable or try a difrent port 2. If its possible on your program take out the battery and SD card as leaving them in course problems 3. Run the program as aminstrative 4. Plug the phone in and have it in download mode or whatever you call it WHILE THE COMPUTER IS BOOTING Up This will force the computer to recognize it not the best method but it always works

It just started happening randomly. I didn't flash anything. I can't access a mobile network, I can't add an APN, I can't wipe the phone because it it just hangs up when it's supposed to clear the cache, I can't access the external storage, and my computer can't recognize it either. I have no Idea what happened, but now my phone doesn't work. I can still do things if I'm on WiFi, but when I try to open camera, or open gallery, or do anythig that involves the external storage, my phone tells me "No external storage available."
I'm really confused and frustrated, if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it!

Sounds like the software is glitchy. I'd flash the factory image and see if that fixes your problems. If it doesn't then probably rma it.

Can you get into the bootloader? I'd try this method if you can http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47156064
But if the computer didn't recognize it you maybe in trouble. I'd go ahead and try it, it may work even if it looks like the computer doesn't recognize your phone. Can't hurt

Sounds like the cache was corrupted/damaged/erased.
I fixed this issue by flashing the cache.img from the stock files.
Follow the directions in this thread but ONLY flash the cache.img. Make sure your drivers are installed properly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
Try it on a different computer if possible. I had that issue with my laptop where it wouldn't recognize my phone. The drivers have to be installed a specific way. Update your recovery to the newest TWRP that came out two days ago. I'm about to update to it to see if it fixes the issue where it takes like 5+ minutes to wipe the phone in recovery. Hopefully just flashing the cache partition will fix it if not flash stock google image.

Umm... who knows if something went corrupt or if it's an issue about permissions...
Maybe best thing to do, assuming the priority is to revive the phone, is to reset everything (wipe data/factory preset - cache partition, format /preload...)... or to switch to download mode and to flash with Odin
BTW which phone model do you have?

solved ^_^
flashed stock firmware and its working thouggh when i factory reset after sometime it took me some time to boot......it was stucked on to the logo.......well my problem is solved though why was my phone stuck?any reason maybe ?
So I was going to reinstall Cataclysm ROM because it has been giving me problems the last few days, mainly it's been dropping my WiFi signal forcing me to switch it on and off just to use my phone, like once every minute
So I downloaded the file to my device, and went to flash it, but I wiped the dalvik and cache, and I pressed data I'm pretty sure, 100% by accident cuz I was so mad at my WiFi signal constantly dropping
Anyways now my phone says "No OS Installed, are you sure you want to reboot?"
I just did a few hours worth of research and... nothing seems to work
I've tried a few ADB sideload guides but I can't seem to follow what they're saying since my screen shows something completely different than what theirs shows
I checked a couple forums too and no one else was experiencing what I am
So I've come to you guys to help D:
Basically I have TWRP installed, my computer doesn't recognize the device when I use the flashall.bat in Windows, so I tried a few different cables, same thing
Any other ideas?
I saw the USB OTG method works, should I just buy one of those and try it out?
It's just like an add on hard drive that I'll load the ROM onto right?
Do I have to flash the stock img or can I flash a new ROM, like Cataclysm again, or Carbon or something?
I'm going to go buy one of those USB OTG drives, a Kingston 32 or 64gb one from Canada Computers
#fingerscrossed it works guys!
If you have anything else for me to try let me know!

Flashall.bat, which uses the program fastboot, isnt meant to be used with a recovery (in this case, TWRP). It is to be used on the bootloader.

Back in business! Picked up a couple of USB 32GB OTGs for $15 each (WICKED)
Plugged them into my PC, transferred 3 ROMs over (Cataclysm, XtraSmooth, and Stock IMG)
Just tried Cataclysm now, and it's working, everything was successful, and no problems!

If it did not work there, it must have been a missing driver issue. Or your fastboot setup.

Got it working last night, since I couldn't do it using TWRP or CMD
I just used Wugs Toolkit, selected the bricked / bootloop option, and flashed stock + unrooted it
Loaded the newest imgs available, so I'm good for now
I'll wait a bit, see if the WiFi thing comes back on stock, if not then it was probably something to do with Cataclysm, I didn't even save any logs to hard to see what it was
Thanks for all your help though!
It didn't work because you didn't install the drivers for adb/fastboot properly. Anyhow nice to see your device is working again!
