nexus 5 keeps on bootloop - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, i have major issue on my nexus 5. my phone keep stuck in bootloop and its rooted, unlocked bl and have cwm. sent it for repair at the place i buy it but they dont accept it because the water mark in the phone turned red. furthermore, my nexus is an AP set, so cant sent for manufacturer warranty. i try to sent it to my friend (he's pro in fixing phone software) but still he cant fix it. the cwm also lost so i have no recovery. i presume that the phone broke because of software or hardware (my nexus 5 power button rattle) or maybe both..its been a month and i almost give up on my nexus 5 but i dont want to buy new phone cause im a student and have a tight budget. im willing to repair my nexus 5 but idk where i should sent it for repair. im willing to sent it to repair to overseas if its necessary. im from malaysia btw. please help me anybody out there :crying::crying:

Flash the factory image first. If it doesn't work, use the LG tool to completely flash everything on your phone from scratch.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to send it somewhere to get it fixed.

IOS is garbage plain and simple. Apple forces you to use things THEIR way. With android you can fully customize every aspect of your phone. I've had an iphone and their crap compared to Android, especially this skyrocket.
Restore
Try going into recovery mode (turn phone on while holding both volume buttons) and if u made a backup before restore to it, if not then mount ur usb storage from there and put a new rom on it in the root folder then try to install that but try a clean wipe and all that first to
all this can be done in the recovery menu

It's not android that's complicated.. You could have stay stock and use different launchers to achieve alot of customized looks but you JUMPED in and it sounds like you might have not have been prepared with enough info...

I not clear what you mean? I had hear that the Fonebiz told me that 350$ for new main board. But I dont think that is need for my phone cause at that price I can buy another. If someone have any idea or solution please help me.Cause I wait for the repair nearly 6 weeks from now.. It problem happen on 17/8
I'm not sure what you mean , did this happen as a result of you flashing an s4 Rom or did this happen after it was sent for repair ? You have no warranty , I would figure an Aussie would have better command of English , right mate ?

Yes I just an international student come to Au for study. it is the result I flash rom trick roid version 7.1( say suitable for s3 and s4). After I cannot do anything after the install rom process I try to lock the bootloader to take repair from the services( hope it work but it not) the phone shut down and no more signal to come normal state
Only trickdroid 1.0.0 is compatible with s3 , there is a separate link for that , if you can boot to recovery just flash that rom , if you can't try to boot to fastboot and reflash a compatible s3 recovery , you will need the compatible s3 twrp recovery ....try this

This sounds like your motherboard is dead. If you have warranty, then I suggest you to take the phone to service and just act dumb . You just make something up, like you were talking and the phone frozen, then you've tried to reboot it, and after that the phone just won't start any more. You've got nothing to loose.
thanks for your suggestion. but I have do it and they know that not in the warranty. they say replace the main board need 350$AUD. that why I take my phone back cause I can buy another just 500$ now. I try to find other solution to this issue here

I have encountered a problem before where my battery was totally dead, wouldn't charge nothing. I would plug it into the charger and the orange light would come on to indicate that it was charging but only for a few seconds and then go off again. I'm just wondering if you have the same problem as I know a possible workaround for this.
Thanks for you suggest but I get the problem by bootloader not because the battery( my phone is 1 month new)
Could anyone help me with this problem please
Is there anyone know this??? Please help me
I think it's save to say, that you need a new phone/mainboard for it. I would've read more about the S3 ROMs before flashing anything.

[Q] Hard Bricked GS3

Hello, I just got my new GS3 yesterday. Eager to root and ROM and all the fun stuff. I rooted and unlocked, and used Odin to flash CWM Recovery. Flashed the latest version of Android Revolution HD 16. I wiped cache, dalvik, the whole 9 yards. I did not WIPE boot.img though. Flashed Android Revolution 16, it all went good. Clicked Reboot Phone in CWM Recovery and nothing. No LED light on when plugged into USB or via wall charger. No Download mode, or recovery. Nothing, like nothing at all. Anything you guys suggest?
EDIT: I am not sure if it is Hard Bricked. When I plug it into my PC, it makes a sound. Also tries to install a driver and fails every time.
EDIT2: Okay guys, my fault. Downloaded a ROM that was meant for a different model/type GS3 forum when I have a Verizon GS3 (SCH-1535). Anyone know how to fix this problem? Please disregard this incorrect forum post.
If you flashed anything related to the international S3, Google search J-tag! Or return the device and play dumb...

You need J-tag.
If there was a way to fix it yourself, nobody on here would worry about bricked phones.
Gotta be super careful and read every single word of a ROM thread and if you aren't sure if it will work for your phone or not, just ask and someone will say either yes or no

I guess so. I read something about plugging the phone into the pc without the battery so the red light would come on. Then, you would hold a combination of buttons, and while you're still holding them, put the battery back in while you're still holding them. I guess J-Tag is the only way? Where can I get this? Someone link me. Thanks!

Same thing happened to me. Needed a j-tag but risked calling Verizon told them my phone wouldn't come on all they asked me was if I damaged it with water or heat. (Either Verizon doesn't care or actually they just scrap the phone) I was rooted and unlocked but flashed the wrong carrier rom. Now I have a replacement phone that cost me $0.
They sent me the 16g and not the 32g by mistake I figured I've pushed my luck enough

First go to Get.cm download a d2vzw rom. Put it on your sd card. Put the sd card into phone
If you have ADB on your computer do
Code:
adb reboot recovery
You should boot in Clockwork Recovery.
From there flash the D2VZW Rom, Wipe Data,
That should save you.

How do you figure? How can you adb recovery when the device wont turn on? The device is hardbricked plain and simple...your advice is simply false hope.
I do have a question for the op and the other guy who flashed an international ROM. Were did you get them and how did you find then ( like was it a site you googled?) I've noticed a lot of these lately and am wondering if it's something that can be avoided (besides the obvious read what you're flashing)
To the adb guy there us no recovery on his phone it was overwritten by part of the international ROM. he needs to JTAG his phone, don't call Verizon. You did this to your own phone, pay the 60 and learn your lesson.

One day someone is going to find a way to unbrick the hard brick, lol. Eventually. Anyways, if it was "dead" then why would it show my S3 as "QHSUSB_DLOAD"? and attempts to install a driver. I'm gonna try to find the right driver to manually install, and troubleshoot from there. I mean come on guys, be optimistic. How great if this problem was RESOLVED? Also, the download mode got wiped/overwritten from a different ROM for a different model of the GS3. What about the Recovery? CWM? If I can just magically, somehow, maybe even push some type of command. Even maybe ADB? Or something in the terminal. I'm really trying to find a solution. So in the future, we will have a SOLUTION.
Anyways, I'm going to be shipping my GS3 Monday or Tuesday for Samsung to repair (If they can) or replace for no charge!
Wish me luck guys, gonna be really thinking out of the box.
Hope you can figure it out. But someone had a way to fix a hard brick.... The JTAG
Sent from my SGS3 running Eclipse 2.1
Okay guys, I've actually have gotten some good progress, I hope! I came across a thread that a guy named (therockk) he also, hard bricked his S3. Sent him a PM, and he told me he got ODIN to recognize his hard bricked S3 "WITHOUT" download mode. He said he found a driver for QHSUSB_DLOAD and manually applied the driver update. His PC, then recognized his S3 as a ID CODE: COM10 - I do not know what that means, I asked around. Some people say that it is the code for when your phone is connected in Download Mode? Nevertheless, this is good in my eyes. The phone as now, recognized as COM10 in ODIN, in its hard-bricked stage. This could be that also, maybe, the phone will be recognized in ADB/Fastboot commands. Maybe we can get something going here guys! I'm trying to look on the bright side. I'll keep you posted.
EDIT: Okay guys, was looking at some screenshots of the CODE ID's. Like I said, my buddy "therockk" said he got ODIN to recognize his phone as a COM10, while being hard-bricked. I am guessing there are different CODE ID's for each model/version of the S3. I did make an observation that he, has a different model S3 ( i747 ) and he got his to see COM10. Which means it was Added!! - My Verizon S3 (SCH-1525) should come up as COM4 when the PC recognizes it. When I do get my PC to recognize my S3, I will confirm that my SCH-1535 phone comes up as COM4, if not, I will confirm the correct CODE ID. therockk's i747 came up as a COM10, that is confirmed.
EDIT 2: Okay guys! Updated the driver successfully! QSHUSB_DLOAD is now Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM8). I feel like we're getting closer. Now to see if Odin will pick it up!
I can probably help you through this problem after work tonight if you are still having trouble. Just pm me around 10pm est

Bought used N5- No mobile network whatsoever!

So i bought me a new used nexus 5 on craigslist from some old chinese guy. He said it wasn't connecting to a network no matter what or whose sim cards he used and how many times he rooted it. the phone is on stock unrooted 4.4.2. I got it on the cheap and was hoping ot fix it up and use it. Any idea what might be wrong with it?

You don't mention that YOU returned it to stock, you just said it was stock and unrooted. If it is exactly the way he gave it to you I would fastboot flash the stock 4.4.2 images from google and see what that does for you. You could simply have a corrupted file somewhere.

This being a Nexus you have little or no risk of doing damage by playing around. My original Droid X was always threatening to self destruct if you messed up the tiniest little step. Spending a couple hours learning about and installing Fastboot and ADB will be the best investment you can make. Once you learn to use them the fear of messing something up is gone. You can flash roms at will without worry as you can always return to stock and start over.

Oh thats perfect bro thanks, nice and straightforward. Will see how this goes after school. I just htought it was maybe a radio issue or rom issue so i thought i could flash around and fix it. Also it was only 70 bucks and in mint condition aside from this problem so I didn't think it was a bad deal

Oh really?how does that happen!? The imei isn't blacklisted or anything and shows up as a registered imei. I tried flashing stock image and still no dice! Looks like I'm doomed. Any other suggestions?
That usually happens when the following steps occur.
The original owner unlocked bootloader.
They put twrp on it and did a full backup including ESN
The device developed a fault so they RMA'd it.
They restored the backup from the faulty device into the new one.
The ESN is device specific and by restoring it onto a different device you end up with not being able to connect to a network.
You can check by going into the about phone menu in the settings. If it displays your imei then I don't think this is your problem.
Have you tried popping the back cover off and checking the antennae contacts

The good news is the parts are worth more than the $70 you paid for it. Find someone with a busted screen and sell it.
