Hi,
Running stock lollipop 5.0.1 on my nexus 5 - boot loader unlocked, no root been like this since 5.0.1 was released. No recent software changes.
Today my nexus turned off itself and now will only show the Google boot screen (white text /lock at the bottom). I can boot into the fast boot recovery (holding down power and volume) but when I click to enter recovery mode I just get a blank screen and nothing happens.
Thought maybe flashing the stock image would fix this but I have no usb access when I connect to my Mac and not recognised in adb command.
Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated if even to reset the tamper flag and lock boot loader to get a warranty replacement.
Thanks.
Looks like you might have had a bad flash.
If all else fails, your saving grace is that you can still get into fastboot. Do you have a customer recovery installed?
If not, install TWRP or CWM and that should get you to a state to backup your data. Even better, you might be able to troubleshoot further.
And if that still doesn't work, you can always flash the factory image from fastboot.
Good Luck!

Hi everyone
I have a desire S that gets stuck on the HTC logo in startup and won't boot.
When i try to get to the bootloader- it works, but if i try to do anything, it just gets stuck.
Trying to get to recovery- it turns off and vibrates 7 times.
I try to do a factory reset- the moment i press the power button it gets stuck and won't respond
Same for everything else.
Anyone knows what can i do with this?
The device is unrooted, but S-off.
Did you even look before you made this thread? The most recent thread was from a user with what sounds like the same problem as you. Here's the link:

Yes, i looked. a LOT.
This is not the same problem at all- he can get to recovery properly and do a factory reset, while i can't.
Well, perhaps you have done already, some things i 'll mention but..
Simpliest:
1. Remove battery and wait at least a minute before putting it back
( preferably switch the phone off- if you can )
2. Boot it again, connect to pc, check whether fastboot sees your device...
( you said you're not able to boot the system on it- so no ADB )
Try to reboot via fastboot issuing command
fastboot reboot
In case it didn't work
1.flash recovery again ( clockworkmod or 4ext )
and see what happens-when you'll have succeded,
try again to get to recovery from bootloader,
Optional:
when you get there , flash superuser zip
( If you'll still not be able to boot in to system , you may attempt to flash
some other rom- as .zip via recovery )
2. May also attempt to restore factory image on the phone ( RUU )
which proceeds from fastboot...
If all the above fails, there is an article you may be interested in reading,
that hopefully is not your case but....your call

Edit: if it is unrooted, it may even still have stock recovery -
nothing you may easily interact with, on the level given by custom...
So guys, i've done it. I bring my first device.
Yesterday i tried to downgrade via fastboot with this recovery images https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload (yes is choose the right ones)
flash boot, check
flash recovery, check
flash system, failes (insufficient memory)
erase sytem, check
flash system, failed (insufficient memory)
flash twrp, check, but no usb mouse so
flash cwm, check
factory reset, check
rom.zip and gapps on sd card, check
reboot, boot into bootloader, no chance
It boots everytime normal, so i cant enter the recovery.
Connect it to charger, check
charging led lights up, check
Go sleeping, check
doenst boot into bootloader :/
Back to charger
Now I wanted to try it again and i wont even boot.
Anyone has an Idea? Or is it really bricked?
Can you still see the device listed using fast boot?
No, because I can't enter the bootloader or the recovery. But it boots again

The same thing just happened to me. Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure it out. I flashed a "stock" recovery that I had found in order to be able to take the OTAs. Now when I boot, I just stay stuck on the NVIDIA splash screen.....been there for hours.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same here.....
Mine is working again. Booting in the bootloader is a little bit tricky.
Have you tried to flash all? Boot.img, recovery.img and system.img?
...
I had the same issue. But after trying to get into the bootloader using POWER + VOLUME DOWN for about 15 minutes it finally went to the bootloader and I was able to re-flash it. I have a feeling it's the cludgy power button.
You do not need to flash the stock recovery to take the ota. I have taken 2 otas now on custom recovery without any issue and without loosing root. Just an FYI.

I just did a factory reset under lollipop, locked boot-loader rooted and it rebooted to the green android screen then dropped into CWM and asked to fix root. I said no, then it went to the nvidia boot logo and it is stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Edit: nevermind, I just powered it off after about 20 minuets and it hung again. When I plugged it into my pc, it finally poped into the setup/welcome screen. Pretty weird. Heart attack averted
My phone keeps restarting. Black screen -> Warning bootloader unlocked -> Black screen... etc. I also cannot access the recovery, gives me a black screen only.
Is the phone broken, or is there something that can be done?
What phone do you have? What caused this to happen?
XT1032
Installed PhilZ Advanced Recovery. Made a backup, rebooted devices, and stuck in this bootloop. When enter Bootloader to get to recovery, all i get is a black screen.
Can't even shut the phone off, because it keeps restarting.
Flash Philz again but don't reboot the phone. When Philz flashes successfully, use the phone's volume buttons to go to recovery from fastboot.
The problem here is i cannot get the phone to show up as an attached device, unless i do it "manually" where i reboot into bootloader from the standard android/phone interface.
You need to be in fastboot mode on the phone to flash Philz. Re-booting to bootloader from Android is fine.
After a little tweaking and some work, I managed to get it working.
Thank you for your help.
I need your help! My Nexus 4 on 4.4.3 is stuck in a boot loop! I don't know how this happened; however the [fix root? (Yes)] option in CWM recovery is missing! and I can't boot into safe mode to uninstall an app that I think might be causing this; (My phone died while I was using Hangouts and the bottom LED light flashed twice. That's the last thing I remembered before my phone became....a paper weight. Do you have any suggestions? Is there a way to boot into Safe Mode via. ADB or a button command on KitKat? I freally do not want to factory reset my device. I have too many unupdated apps and pictures and personal things on my phone that I've been building for... well 4 years since I've gotten the phone. Any advice will be appreciated, - Milo
Hi !
Go to fastboot and reflash the cwm recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Copy your stuffs then onto your PC and then flash one of the factory images from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/ref-nexus-4-stock-ota-urls-t1971169/post33631631
Good luck !
Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone might be able to provide some assistance to help me solve my problem here. Basically I was attempting to flash havoc os to my oneplus 7 pro and I think I wiped both the a/b partitions by accident as now it’s stuck in boot loop.
basically it will constantly boot loop where it goes to the unlocked boot loader warning and then reboots. If I attempt to boot to recovery, it will flash with the twrp screen for 1-2 seconds and then reboot. Will boot to fast boot mode but cannot enable usb debugging.. any help would be greatly appreciated, and If anyone needs me to clarify anything I will do my best but its been a week or two since it happened and I can’t seem to find a working solution anywhere. Thank you.
I know this is an older post, but as a thought, when you go to the fastboot menu, if you wait, does it reboot there too?
If so, I think this may be your power button acting up. I had that problem with my phone. I could boot to fastboot or recovery, but couldn't stay in them long enough to do anything. First time it happened, I took the phone apart and disconnected the power button and I was able to get it to boot up successfully. Next time it happened, I just hit the power button multiple times until it started booting up properly.
If this is not the case for you, I would try to fastboot boot the latest version of TWRP rather than from the recovery process (holding down buttons and hoping it boots). I've read that on some devices (with older versions of TWRP), it was recommended to fastboot TWRP rather than flash for better compatibility.
