My nexus 5 was stock when i did a factory reset and something wrong happened and it was stuck on the android guy with the blue sphere thing.
So i decided to try and flash the factory image from Google but it gets stuck at erasing the cache. I have done it both by flash all and by doing each step independently. And its always stuck on clear cache
I then tried the cwm recovery and wiped the cache and tried installing CM11. CM11 was stuck in a bootloop
then i tried TWRP recovery but the phone would not load into it.
Then i tried the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock and unroot and the phone still gets stuck on erasing cache
Any ideas? What should I try next?
Flash stock recovery and wipe cache and leave it doing that for as long as it takes.

How long is reasonable?
I have waited 45 min in the past before losing patience
Could actually be a bit longer than that. Also, fastboot flash cache.img.on its own.
Thank You I will leave it running for a while and see what happens
It has been a little over an hour. How much longer should I wait?
Hard to say. Each time you interrupt it, you make it worse. Give it another hour. If that doesn't work, maybe try lg flash tool.
My mistake I might have interrupted it more then a few times yesterday. I probably made it fairly bad.

It has been erasing cache for about 12hrs should I give up on the idea it will do it and try the lg flash tool.

If you use fastboot to lock the bootloader then reboot the bootloader, is it unlocked again? Please test

should rule out nand failure then. All I can suggest is send it to LG, if you've already tried swapping USB cables and ports.

Have you tried just formatting cache with fastboot? Tried multiple recoveries and wiping cache through them? If none of this works I'd bet your nand has a bad sector.
It can format erase and flash the cache no problem in fastboot it just wont do it at the end of the process of flashing a custom rom

I am having the same problem trying to flash to 5.0 or 5.0.1. It's to the point where Google says, "well, it's out of warranty, so send it to LG" and LG says, "send it to us and we'll tell you whether we'll charge you for a fix".
Pointer to the aforementioned "lg flash tool" - presumably different from the Google f/w at //developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - would be welcome.

I flashed a CM based ROM, and decided to get back to Slimkat. Opened my recovery ( Philz CWM ) wiped everything, and now tried to restore my nandroid ! And suddenly Im on Can't mount /sdcard ! I can't even flash a new ROM or do anything, I get stuck on Google's boot logo if I want to get to the ROM.
Let's note that I had no USB debug checked as I was only checking out the newly flashed ROM. So am I literally in a dead situation? Anyone please may help ?

Can I still fastboot even if I have no USB debugging enabled? The phone will interact with the commands normally? ( Since as I mentioned before I flashed the ROM only to check out and played with no settings at all, didnt know this is going to happen )

fastboot commands are done in the bootloader. USB debugging is an Android setting. The 2 are not related even in the slightest.

Thank you sir ! Im sorry to go further saying that I have never used fastboot even thought this is my third nexus device, the regular way of me having a Nexus is using a toolkit on day one to Unlock/Root and then the rest is always done to me on a Recovery !
I am currently downloading the Factory Image to flash it via fastboot ( There are instructions on how to do that ) But will delete everything on my phone.
Is there a way I can save myself right now without any loss? Via fastboot commands? And how can I do it? ( Im really sorry for taking your time and mixing my inexperience )
You'd be a life saver hehe

Dont flash the entire factory image.
just use the
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Then you won't wipe the device.
This is why not to use toolkits. fastboot is essential basic knowledge and using toolkits means you dont get to learn it

You are totally right about that I should learn about it ! Hahaha. Okay, I opened a command promt and I am in the bootloader, where should I get the cache.img from? And should I place it in a certain folder? cause apparently I tried doing this command and it didn't work, I guess i have to get the cache.img from somewhere ( Im really sorry mate...Thanks again )

Have a read of the "how to flash a factory image" thread in general. Just remember, dont follow it blindly as you'll flash the whole factory image.

Promise this is the last question I hope. I am actually on that page. I have downloaded the factory image BUT when I extract it via Winrar I only get a one file as an output (hammerhead-kot49h-factory-02006b99)

If so you can adb pull your photos etc off there from data/media/0 - otherwise no such luck

I think you'v nothing to loose by flashing the whole factory image. If /sdcard can't be mounted in this situation, I think that's because you did (or a toolkit) did something wrong and break it. I don't think that you'll be able to save anything.
(It's my point of view. Maybe somebody else has an idea ?)

I cannot mount /data even after flashing cache.img - Hence I think I am dead by this stage and I can no more recover whatever I have on the phone. Factory image flashing then ?
Yep, I would
And there we go, I did it, phone back to life. Thank you guys ! A LOT! Appreciated ! pretty much !
Allow me to recall the scenario : I was on Slimkat, decided to try Mahdi Rom ( CM Based ), Backup before flashing, flashed, wanted to revert back. And this can't mount /sdcard there. No idea what could be it...
What recovery you guys recommend me to use ? - Lesson I learned today? I should know how to use fastboot and ditch the Toolkit galore.
Well, seems that you did'nt do anything wrong. Maybe a problem with the rom or something else occur.
Next time, maybe, do a backup and, then, copy it to your computer
For the recovery, I use CWM 6.0.0.4
Ok so today i wanted to root my nexus 5 so i unlocked bootloader via androidSDK slim everything went fine but i did not power up my device yet thet i flash the recovery.img of twrp after that i booted into recovery and for a second it displayed some error i could not see it but it said could not read /e..... or i think so and it reboted itself and started booting android and now i think im stuck in boot loop because its booting up for 10 mins. can someone help me?
So now your Bootloader is unlocked, right?
First boot after unlocking the Bootloader takes time... Wait for 10 more mins and then reboot once again and see whether you can get the OS to bootup...
If you can't, you can either try factory reseting from Bootloader or you can flash a custom recovery and then install a custom rom of your choice.
Or you can also go full stock and start over again by flashing a factory image...

You're supposed to reboot the bootloader before flashing anything.

Hi, I have had this issue for a while now where my custom recovery looses the ability to mount data, this is the message I get,
E: could not mount /data to set up /data/media path. When the problem occurs which can be going into to recovery from any custom rom I just reboot the phone again which has always rebooted ok, but I am worried that it may not reboot ok some time in the future breaking my phone.
I have tried all 3 custom recovery's so I don't think it's a recovery problem, anyone have any ideas what the problem may be.
Usually a problem with /cache. Wipe it a few times or fastboot flash stock cache.img

Thanks fastboot command worked that time. I normally use adb and fastboot commands but I have never had to use cache.img command before, Thanks again :good:
Update: I tried what rootSU said but it didn't resolve my problem so I tried one last thing which was to flash a factory image using the LG Flashtool and so far every thing seems fine. So should anyone else have the same problem that I had with their recovery give the LG Flashtool ago. Should my original fault reoccur I will post an update.
For what it's worth, I had the same issue as the OP. I didn't want to flash the .tot, because my computer was being weird(it said COM41 was in use, because I already used the LGFT for my G2, didn't want to risk it). Basically I just RMAed it, because all fixes were failing. Using e2fsck, flashing stock cache, etc. I could temporarily fix it by flashing a factory image, but when I flashed a new ROM, it would happen again. So if it keeps happening, just send it back. :good:
I would like to add to what Koopa777 said that flashing a factory image was just a tempory fix as I tried this several times, but so far so good the data issue has not re occured since I used the LG Flashtool.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind in case the new one gets it. Could you try something for me though? PA 4.2 BETA 5 always set it off for me. It booted fine, but the recovery was always borked when I rebooted into recovery. If your's survives that, I think that it could definitely be the fix. :good:

No problem I will test PA 4.2 beta tomorrow for you.
I had the same problem on an installation of a kernel that didn't boot atop a CM rom. When it bootlooped, I went into recovery and found the infamous could not mount /data. I tried rootSU's recommendation about wiping cache several times and flashing a cache.img but it didn't work for me. I was about to do the whole factory stock image thing (and thus wipe my sdcard) when out of desperation to avoid that, I tried something that surprisingly succeeded. The following steps are for a newbie but presupposes a working knowledge of how to use adb and fastboot commands.
1. Download and copy a known stable ROM's zip file into your SDK's platform-tools, renaming it ROM.zip
2. Boot you phone into (TWRP 2.7.0.0) recovery
2. Choose ADB sideload in Advanced
3. From your computer's DOS prompt in the SDK platform-tools directory, type adb sideload ROM.zip
When it's done sideloading, it will flash
4. Choose reboot system
It will boot and get a series of FC's of android process and dialer
5. Hard reset into bootloader (hold down the power button until screen goes off (in like 7 secs) immediately hit vol-down) and choose recovery
Voila! Rebooted into recovery for me with data mounted as normal. No need to flash factory images!
Hope this helps and good luck!
I know that this thread is nearly a year old, but just wanted to report that my phone soft bricked when I flashed a kernel (without flashing the rom). TWRP (2.8.5) was unable to mount data, storage, /data/media. When I went into TWRP/Advanced/File Manager there was nothing in the sd card. After an ADB flash cache cache.img it was still the same. I decided to follow the @reeper000 post and it booted into the ROM i flashed (Slim Lollipop version) and it came up with only a couple errors. I was then able to go into TWRP and restore a nandroid backup and all is fine. I was sooooooo close to erasing data/restoring to a factory image!!!!!! THANKS, @reaper000!
Glad all well. I had 2 nasty surprises yesterday. First I flashed a nandroid
, only one I had. It kept going past 100 %on loading the data. Went to 300%! I'd one rom with Gapps I'd not tried so I thought saved.. Aghhhhhh Noo when it came on said playstore support missing. Had to tap like mad to get it off the screen in between putting my acc in. 2 hours later it linked and downloaded the missing file. Thank god. Then my baseband went! I was at my wits end. Decided I'd nothing to loose with a factory reset which fixed it. Good job as the new battery came today! Now I test backups and have two different ones
Hey everyone,
I've been tearing out my hair for the past 34 hours (with the exception of sleeping). I restarted my phone yesterday and it got stuck in the boot animation, for hours.
I have never unlocked my bootloader, or flashed any custom rom on this phone, so I was really shocked when this happened. So I took to these forums, because lurking here usually solves all my issues (thanks awesome people), and flashed the stock image as recommended-> bootloop -> factory reset in recovery mode -> bootloop-> repeated this all night and today with multiple flashing methods (fastboot using flash-all and flashing individually, no dice.
I was wondering if I was out of luck, seeing as though my phone just randomly did this to itself, without prior tampering, or if there was something I could try doing. I haven't tried any custom recoveries as I don't really know how that would help me if I am willing to flash back to stock and lose all my data.
I am able to boot into fastboot mode and go to recovery mode, so this indicates to me that my hardware is fine, unless I am wrong
Thanks, I would appreciate all the help I can get

And you didn't receive any errors at all while flashing them individually? If that's the case I'd fastboot format each partition first then flash it. If that doesn't work you're pretty much out of luck. Just so where on the same page it would go like this:

Then just repeat that for everything.

OMG YES THIS WORKS! Thank you, I read that thread in my initial search, but it didn't seem to apply. But I just tried it and my device booted in like five minutes.
Thanks for helping me guys, don't need to buy another phone
As the title says that's what happened. i unlocked the bootloader and then flashed twrp with fastboot. booted into recovery said it was read only swiped to allow modifications then went to wipe so i could flash cm13 but it said cant mount internal storage object does not exist. also after rebooting into twrp multiple times i keeps saying the device is read only. anyone know what to do?
It keeps saying read only because it can't write configuration to the TWRP directory on internal storage... have you tried going into Mounts, untick the Mount Read Only box, and format or wipe the internal partition?
You should first boot to rom then to twrp internal storage will be inacessible because after unlocking bootloader userdata is cleared and we have to boot to rom so that it can setup the internal storage
@mjf042 That happened to me too. You need to go in TWRP, in Wipe > Tick Data and tap on Change Filesystem. You choose EXT4 and it's good ! Don't forget to flash a ROM.

The ROM's boot logo or the Moto "M" symbol?
If the ROM's boot logo, first boot can exceed 15 minutes, as long as it isn't looping just let it sit, seems like forever sometimes.
If it is getting stuck on the Moto M logo, that's a different story, let me know if that's the case.

Reflash the modem and reboot...
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
And make sure each piece get a response of "OK"

ok did what you said and every response had an ok but the imei is still 0. i use net10 as my carrier and they dont require the imei to use the sim so if i cant restore imei will it still work?

No, they don't require the IMEI, but the "tower" does so speak, it won't allow an IMEI of 0 to connect except for emergency calls.
I know there was a tutorial about recovering your IMEI when it is zero, just can't find it atm. And TWRP doesn't backup that partition either on osprey. :/
I am out of element here, I have heard of a few people dealing with this, but I have never had to, sorry I can't be of more help.
