[Android 5.02] No WiFi, Bluetooth and Reboots when I press the lock button - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Nexus 5 users, I have a problem with my N5, and the title pretty much sums it all up. I was running stock 5.02, and my WiFi was stuck on "Turning On WiFi" and my Bluetooth would attempt to turn on, but just revert to off after about five seconds. I rooted and flashed TWRP and CM 12, but the problem still remains. Anyone had problems with this? Any solutions apart from sending my phone back to Google, and if I have to, do they still accept N5's?

Clean flash factory images. If it still happens then it's likely a hardware issue.
Google accepts RMA if the device is still in it's warranty period. If it is not, then you will have to send the device to LG and pay for a repair.

I'll try sideloading some factory images, and I'm not sure as to whether I can RMA or not because I bought my N5 around this time last year. I should really RMA as I would like a new device anyway as there is a tiny little chip out of one of the corners of my device, and it's worth a shot I guess. Do you just call Google or go to a website or something?
EDIT: Should I sideload, or just flash with TWRP?

Call Google. You will need your proof of purchase.

Ok thanks. I'm going to try flashing XtraSmooth now first. If that fails, the RMA is happening :good:

You should be clean flashing factory images if you have an issue, not another custom ROM.

Alright, I'll flash a stock 5.1 image, it may fix this as we all know that 5.0x was a buggy mess

[Q] RMA

I just bought a Nexus 5 recently but it's flash memory go corrupt so I request a RMA and got a new one already. However, as the flash memory is corrupted, I can not restore the device to it's original state. I have not flashed a custom rom, but I have unlocked the boot loader, flash custom recovery, root it and flash a new boot animation. What would be the worst thing to happen?

Unless they can prove that you broke the flash memory by unlocking the bootloader, it'll be fine

Thank u, it has been troubling me ever since
So, you bought a new nexus 5 before sending the other to RMA and, you want to "clean" the old before sending it ?
Well, can you boot it in fastboot ? If so, try flashtool and flash factory images ?

No they sent me a new one alreadt, and now I have to return the broken one to them. About your suggestion, I did try but because the flash memory is corrupted, u can't write or read anything from it, including the OS
Wow. Google sent you a new phone before you've sent them your old ? Never seen that before
But like rootSU said, unless they're able to prove that it's your fault, there's no problem.
But, if you're able to boot into recovery/fastboot, you should be able to restore the orignal recovery & relock the bootloader, no ?

This is how Google does RMA's they send you a new device and put a hold on your credit card equivalent to the price of the device. The hold is removed upon them receiving your old device.
Oh, ok. I used to see RMA like Asus : We pick your device, you wait 3 weeks and, if you're lucky, we will sent it back to you for free.
Just had a doubt about the RMA?
I purchased the device from India and the RMA process is like they pick up the device inspect it and send the replacement.
They collected mine yesterday.
They did mention that the device will be inspected by a technical team,now when i requested them for a replacement over telephone they asked me to send them pictures of the phone and then after reviewing them they notified me that they could now initiate a replacement,so what do they inspect for exactly?
and will they be sending me a new device?
well, I relock it but as soon as I turn it off, it got unlock again, I don't know why

They're checking for anything that could would void the warranty, such as user damage or a colourized water damage indicator.
LG RMA works differently from Google RMA. It's the traditional wait a few weeks until your phone is fixed, versus cross shipping of the device so you're never without a phone.

[Q] Flashed 4.4.4 deoxdexed stock rom, Calls dont work HELP

so i was on cataclysm from the beginning and everything worked great. I flashed stock 4.4.4 cause i want to use just xposed with a nice vanilla rom. everything works great except i cant get or place calls. i have sprint lte full bars, can get data and everything send texts/mms, go on facebook, dl stuff, just no calls. wifi or not doesnt matter either. everytime i try to place one it just sits on dialing and i lose all bars and then says can t make call, no connection. once i hang up the bars and lte come back.
I have noticed my network ends up on global sometimes instead of LTE but even when i switch it to LTE it still doesnt work. i have updated prl and profile too. Any ideas? thanks
EDIT: yeah i still cant seem to fix it. I was going to go back to a 4.4.2 rom but for some reason it fails in twrp everytime now... :/ but this is the exact problem i am having in this thread https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/Or6_6zCtBwc
seems like it might be sprints fault

Personally I would flash the factory images again just to rule out software being the issue, if it still happens then I guess RMA or whatever.

I doubt it is sprint causing this, or it would be all over these forums. I'd definitely install 4.4.4 via fastboot it'll give you the newest radio and the stock recovery. I'm betting this will fix your issue. Then just use fastboot or flashify to install the newest twrp, and flash su in recovery. If this doesn't fix it, it's a hardware issue.

thanks ill try it out when i got a spare moment. now that im thinking of it this all happened after i updated twrp, so could that be the root of all this you think? because i used the twrp app to update it instead of flashing, and i noticed it has been acting extremely weird lately.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop.

Hi everyone.
I have the following problem with a Nexus 5: During an update, the system crashed. The phone is now stuck in an endless bootloop, trying to install the update. When left long enough, the update screens eventually come up, but you are immediately blasted with a ton of errors and no matter what you do, you are unable to complete the update. This, however, is not the problem.
I have tried various utilities in order to flash the phone back to factory settings. I have made use of Unified Android ToolKit, as well as Nexus Root Toolkit, but a problem with the phone itself is preventing me from flashing it and the problem is as follows: I can access the phone via USB, as well as the bootloader, but when I unlock the bootloader to start the flashing, it immediately locks itself again and I'm unable to start the flash process.
I've searched for other instances in which the bootloader won't unlock, but I can't find any information. Is there perhaps a hardware problem preventing me from unlocking the bootloader or can someone help me find a solution to this problem?

If the lock state reverts on a reboot, 99 times out of 100, it means the internal memory has an issue. RMA.

No probs. Sounds like the update got stuck at the bootloader flash and corrupted. It's probably not a fatal NAND issue, rather corrupt partition or two but it usually means sending it in.
You can try the LG flashtool as a last resort before doing so though, as you never know...
You can find a link to it in the sticky thread in my signature. Best to stay away from actual "toolkits" though and either use fastboot manually or LG flash tool, although fastboot probably cant help you here - just saying for future ref...

I was stuck in the boot animation and when it opened there was a lot of system errors and it would reboot by itself over and over again.
what fixed it was to do a wipe cache and dalvik and reinstall it

Dalvik cannot break your bootloader. Your only option was use lg flashtool and if that failed, RMA. Let's not get false hopes and waste time not doing this.

i thought about LG FLASHTOOL but decided to try reinstaling the rom cuz i had no other option since i forgot to leave a backup rom on the device. So I did it as if I was installing a brand new rom Wiped dalvik, cache and system then reflashed the rom and then the gapps. Even tho it was the same ROM file I had a different outcome. It's working fine now but I did go back to the nightlies after it started working again just to be safe.
Now... people may have a different outcome when trying to solve this issue but this actually worked for me after having a minor heart-attack thinking I was gonna lose all my stuff

Yes, but your issue is different to the OP's. His bootloader lock state reverts whenever he changes it. This is a pretty much "fatal" issue. What you did cannot help him unfortunately.

[Q] [Help] Random Reboots after Corrupted EFS partitions.

TL: My efs partition got screwed so my phone doesn't get service which is sad, But when I turn it on, after just working for a few minutes, it just reboots, which is very annoying, does anyone have a solution for this?
Long Version:
I was on the bus home when my phone went out of charge and died, after getting home I plugged it in, but it was stuck on a Loop, which led to me flashing a bunch of Kernels, and ROMs, later one ROM did work and the phone booted up, but my IMEI was gone so I knew my efs partition was screwed, and I just gave up, I still want to use my Nexus 5 as a normal but without the phone feature, which is somewhat okay,
and One weird problem that came to mind is I cannot install any ROM with version 5.0.2, it just won't boot up, but 5.0.1 is okay...but my phone just Reboots every 1-10 mins, I don't know what the problem is, and I don't know how to check whether or not its the power button, anyone have a good idea for solving this ?
You must have corrupted persist partition. Same as here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-bootloop-t3047895 the strange thing you both have is that you experience reboot. Are you on lollipop rom?

I have pretty much the same issue you do so I'm going to stay posted here.
Do you have an old TWRP backup?
Try to restore any TWRP backup you made of your phone.
Unless you unchecked If you checked that option before making the backup, the EFS partition should be present in the backup.

Unfortunately I don't have such a back up, I do however have access to two other Nexus 5s, which i don't want to mess with their IMEI because google might block something and them getting screwed is a no-no...I don't know if my Phone service provider would mind if They see the same IMEI coming up on there system twice, but I don't wanna risk it..

Man that sucks
Lesson learned I guess, always make a full backup of your device in its original factory state when you buy it.
Sorry for your loss

HELP!!!!!! Locked bootloader after flashing a kernel and it doesn't want to boot

Hi guys
As you probably know by reading the title, i completely messed up. I was on the stock google factory image and decided to flash a custom kernel. I enabled usb debuging and oem unlock. after having unlocked the bootloader, I installed the twrp boot img and then flashed the kernel. All was well when i stupidly decided to lock my bootloader. Things crashed and now when i try to boot into my phone, the google logo appears and 1 seconds later crashes keeps doing it until i turn my phone off. My bootloader is locked and i think usb debuging and oem unlock are also disabled.
The same thing happens when i try to go to the recovery, it just crashes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. thank you !!

I don't believe so since you're not the original owner. However, it doesn't hurt to try.
If you bl locked the phone w modified software ur boned. I believe that RMA availability is transferrable from owner to owner, however, I also believe that they will refuse to RMA a phone which technically broke because AVB is doing its job properly. You can try but I'd say your chances are slim. Sorry mate. Also future reference: if you don't have any reason in particular to relock your phone, just don't. You'll save yourself the hassle of having to do it again and it wiping the phone everytime any software thing goes wrong or anytime u want to upgrade custom ROM or kernel or anything of the sort. This goes for any phone not just those with android verified boot.

Yes they will know but they have proprietary software to forcefully unlock/reformat the phone properly if they so choose to actually accept the phone

If you are flashing the latest version of Oreo you don't need to oem unlock. What version of Android were you running before you bricked it?

It won't work because his bootloader is locked. I also tried the OTA file and that didn't work either. Do to have usb debugging on ?
