Hi all
A bit new to posting in here but am really hoping to receive some help from you all. Last night I installed all the standard USB drivers i.e. Android SDK pack and followed them all as mentioned. Then using the root tool from ChainFire I got to the little android guy after going through the process of unlocking the bootloader and gaining root, but the phone never actually rebooted.
Now when I try to flash the original fastboot files using the WUG kit I get "FAILED: remote: flash write failure" The same is the case with writing the boot img and recovery img. See attached.
I can put the phone into Fastboot mode only and it says lock state is "unlocked" but it would seem that I can no longer write anything to the internal disk as nothing will work or boot. I also get a status on my PC saying that the driver QHSUSB_Bulk could not be found.
Has anybody had a similar problem to this? Is there any way to somehow get this working again? And if I RMA with Google will they say my warranty is voided now that it says the lock state in Fastboot is unlocked?
Many thanks in advance guys any help is appreciated.

write "Fastboot devices" in CMD while phone is in fastboot.
What happens when you boot in recovery? Try that, and do a factory data reset.

Ok see attached. Also it doesn't allow me to boot into recovery at all. I used the WUG kit to temporarily boot into TWRP and tried a factory reset there but it says there's no ROM installed. It's like everything has been wiped and it can't write anything to the internals to read from. Thanks for you help so far. Any other suggestions?

Just... stop using toolkits for a second here! These automated processes got you here in the first place.
Try this command:
fastboot erase userdata
Does it succeed?

It seems like a brick. Something got corrupted. I searched far an wide on XDA and other forums, but no one with this problem has found the solution.
It seems that your last chance is RMA.

Ok thanks for your help. How this happens simply rooting a device following step by step instructions having rooted many devices before I'll never know. There was no interrruptions or reasons for this to have happened. Do you think they will take one look at it and say warranty is voided?

Who knows? Try it!
I don´t think the reason was CF-auto root. There must be something wrong with the device´s flash from the beginning. My thoughts are that you´r flash has a corrupted area which surprisingly wasn´t used for the stock factory flash and CF-autoroot triggered it while flashing a specific partition. Maybe i´m completely wrong.
I hope you´ll get it exchanged :good:.

I don't really know what happened. I guess there are always risks when using tools like this. That's why I always recommend rooting using the manual method.
I have no idea how google will react. In theory, a simple unlocked bootloader won't affect warranty. In reality, anything can happen. Good luck, and sorry!

It's a mystery indeed, it might not be CF but best way is to stay away from toolkits and do it manually.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905
Does it respond to anything?
Will it turn on but just get stuck?
If it won't respond to anything at all then I doubt Google would say the warranty is void. They probably wouldn't know since it's dead.

Hi nah it only boots into Fastboot mode where it says down the bottom in red "LOCK STATE - unlocked" . Have tried every trick posted on here but it seems that during the rooting process somehow corrupted internal storage meaning it can't write anything to the phone (therefore not being able to reset to factory etc etc).
What a disaster.
Would opening the command prompt window with administrative rights make a difference? Worth a shot.

Oh I see.
Well like abaaaabbbb63 said, in theory it shouldn't affect warranty.
They would have to show that unlocking the bootloader caused the fault I presume.
Make sure you tell Google that this happened when using a toolkit and a script when asking for a new phone free of charge.

Hey guys,
I have a rooted Nexus 5 and on Saturday it suddenly froze and when I restarted the phone it was stuck on a boot loop. I tried to go into my TWRP recovery and it asked for a password and it says that the internal storage is 0 MB. I have tried to flash stock rom using fastboot manually and it keeps saying (remote: flash write failure). Will someone please help me on this? I can't figure out what to do.
Thank You
sounds like your internel memory went bad. youll need to replace it.

yes. if you bought it through google, they will generally replace rooted phones especially if its a hardware issue(has nothing to do with root). and if its not google, they wont boot it up anyways(i dont think).

its actually a sorta common issue with the nexus 5. at least ive seen more than enough nexus 5 here with that issue. its a hardware issue, nothing you did.
Hi guys! I've looked all around and tried the fixes that people recommended, which is basically going back to stock.
So this is what happened to my brother's phone:
Was using the phone and all a sudden the phone freezes (He was on Android L) and he rebooted it. After rebooting, the phone went into bootloop. He downloaded some program that supposedly fixes softbrick and bootloop (by flashing stock ROM) Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.7.
The phone was fixed.. Kinda.. He couldn't get any cell signal. Turns out his baseband and IMEI read unknown. He has the box the phone came in, to we know the physical IMEI number.
Is there a fix for this? I've tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/lost-imei-please-help-t2529103 but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Also check if wifi mac address is changing after each reboot. Corrupted persist partition can cause problems like that and also other things like crasing apps
Check out my thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576. It worths a try. If it does not help then you have to buy a new motherboard or claim your warranty if you have any.

Then it is up to you what are you going to do with the persist partition. You will lose nothing but time by formating the persist partition. If it not fix your problem then you have to buy a new motherboard for the phone to make phone calls either way because you dont have any efs backup.

Sorry for posting this, but please just try to understand me and help solve my problem. I know there is Threads for this, Please... I am just nowhere, my phone just treason me when I needed it most, It is very hard Bricked, nothing working, contacted support and they told me it need Replace (but I can't send to service #close this question)
My Story:
Constant restart loop, on Motorola logo. It can go in Bootloader when press Vol Down and Power Button, but that's it, (actually when going in recovery it goes to Broken Android sign, but than restart again)... so how it happened?? I do not know as u do not, I am just normal user, never done anything to crash system, never Rooted, even not installed any kind Launcher, nothing, just some normal Apps and only two game, and lot of music listening, that's it that's all (also physically it's like new, never ever droped or water splashed even). and one day come home, plug in for charging in my PC as always and boom, some strange app crashes and it restarted for EVERRR, wtf is this just do not understand, WHYY?????? so disappointed and so bored...
Question:
so Can it be Helped? Unbricked? I do not care Contacts or any kind Data, just work again....And if it can please step by step I will follow, and do not redirect me to other thread, just help me out here please
And if it cant be Helped, just say frankly and I will capture video how I am splashing it on REAL BRICK wall and will post it on this thread...this will be closing and **** sending of Motorola
My Spec:
Moto G (16GB Global GSM, no SD card slot, single SIM) - KitKat 4.4.4 (it bricked so I cant see Falcon version or other spec, but I have original Box)
I searched everywhere and seen lot, but all of them are 4.4.2 or 3 and also US versions, strange languages and so on. also here on XDA but as I'm Noob I do not know if it will work for me, and before destroy it completely I wanted to know from people who knows much more then me, what can do and what not, so please be patient for my Noobety, Thanks and Sorry...

Ok, don't worry, just follow the tutorial to reflash stock firmware and it will work again.
You need this: http://www.filefactory.com/file/1dw..._4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
The only thing to say is that when you reach:
Code:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
you may have to try this instead if it doesn't work:
Code:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

Oops, sorry, I forgot... It's up to you about unlocking bootloader. If you do, you can't send your phone back for them to sort out the problem. However, if you root your phone, you'll be able to install a custom recovery such as TWRP, sideload a rom, and hopefully all will work. But of course I can't guarantee that it will work, so it's a risk. If it were me, I would send it back as you haven't rooted it and really it shouldn't brick itself on its own for no reason.

This what the op says:
I have only tested this on a UK Retail Moto G with an unlocked bootloader, however as these are the original stock signed image files from Motorola it should work on all devices.

Edit: tkm89 reports that he was able to use this guide to restore Stock Retail British firmware on a bootloader locked Tesco-mobile Moto G

Unlocked Bootloader
So after a few weeks after the launch of the Marshmallow uptade, I flashed the stock image with fastboot using a Mac and everything gone flawlessly, until I saw my internal storage. My 32Gb nexus became a 16Gb model.
I search in EVERY Forum I found on the internet, and I have good skills on recovering android phones with software problems, all the "how-to's" I found were with very easy instructions, but NONE of then worked for me.
Ive tried EVERYTHING I found on the internet. Do a factory reset, tried to resize the partition using TWRP, flashed manually all the partitions, flashed the stock image again and again many times, flashed customs roms, tried to erase the userdata, cache and system partitions tons of times using flashtool on windows, mac and linux and NOTHING worked. In all the process my phone started with no problems, but my internal storage stayed 12,55gb. My Bootloader shows 32Gb model, the IMEI on LG database shows 32Gb model AND the logic board indicates a 32Gb model... I really don't know what to do! Anyone can save me???? Thanks!
In advance information, I followed every step on this guide at least 10 times, and didn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I was thinking in the possibility of an custom Userdata partition, only for the 32Gb model, that I can flash manually or a program, like GParted, that I can manually resize the data partition.
I'm really desesperate here, so sorry for any english mistakes, since I speak portuguese, or any dumb idea.
Thanks for any help!
-------------------------------------- FOUND THE SOLUTION! ----------------------------------------------
After WEEKS trying to realize what the hell happened and rethinking every possible form to regain my full storage, I've found the solution.
Fiddling with the partitions on the phone, i learned that there is a partition on the system, that "informs" the userdata that the phone is a 16Gb or a 32Gb variant, and it's called "Primary GPT".
I realized that the guy who sold to me, recovered the phone from an brick it suffered, but he used a 16Gb model GTP partition to reinstall the bootloaders and the system, so, no matter how many different process I tried, I would NEVER recognizes the 32Gb, because THIS partition was telling the system that it was a 16Gb model.
(Little of a noob explain but that was the way I got it...)
So all I had to do was use this thread to reflash the correct GPT partition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
And then, reflash the complete system image file, and after the boot, my phone recognized the 32Gb internal storage again!
Thank you guys for the effort in sorting out any way to help me, I hope this thread can help someone else facing the same problem in the future!
Peace!
Did you flash the userdata.img file too?

Tried everything I could do... Flashed userdata partition, erased the partition with fastboot then entered in recovery mode (stock and custom) and then format the userdata from there, doing that by doing a factory reset and wiping cache partition and nothing...
Any other idea what it could be?
Unfortunately, I have no idea why this happened or how to fix it as I only have the 16 GB version.
seriously guys, anybody to save my day?

Have you tried factory reset and wiping cache from STOCK recovery? That always works for me.
Try using flash-all.bat in Windows. Part of the stock favor image. Make sure to take backup before doing it though
Had this happen once and had to factory reset from stock recovery like he said above. Worked like a charm!

Ive tried with stock recovery, custom recovery, CWM, TWRP Resize partition and no use...
I lost the count of times Ive tried to flash manually, flash-all.bat in windows, flash-all.sh on mac and linux, really nothing work.
There is no toolkit, even knowing its a bad idea to use those things but, since Im out of options, anyone can tell me one that can help me?
Thanks guys btw!
I had this problem with a couple devices on lollipop, typing the command below in a terminal fixed it. Reboot afterwards.

restorecon -FR /data/media/0

can you explain what is the function of this line? Tried here and everything stayed the same
Thanks!
Damn... that's weird.
Is it possible to format userdata? Like, for example, "fastboot format userdata"? I don't really know, just shooting in the dark by this point now.

I believe it's a way of restoring data or storage to it's original configuration. Also had this problem on my 32gb N5 early on, unfortunately I can't remember what I did that time to get it back.

Yes, I did this process three times I think, format userdata and erase userdata, none of then resolved the issue

I tried this code using the terminal on the phone, rebooted and the storage stayed the same, I'll try to do the same process using adb shell from my windows computer, since I have the "light"version of adb and fastboot installed on my mac and the adb shell comand is giving me the "offline" error...
I'll get back here with any updates.
thanks in advance guys! Hope this comand works! :highfive:
Well... Tried with my windows computer, and next with my Mac, with the command line given and.... Nope. Nothing changed.
I know it's not great but if your desperate....
I've always done things manually but there comes a time when your willing to try whatever to fix your phone as they don't come cheap, so if I could recommend a toolkit that has saved my ass more than once and has worked flawlessly for me every time maybe it could help you too.
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
It's called Nexus Root Toolkit and its by the developer wugfresh. Try this if you'd like, if not I hope you find a solution. This kit has everything you can think of that could help you with rooting, or returning to stock and relocking. Best of luck with your journey!

The wrong size memory issue, 16 Gb instead of 32, is an old issue. It can be solved by booting into the stock recovery then clearing cache and then doing a factory reset. Note, this will wipe your device.
