Trouble with stock recovery - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
since I flashed Android 5.0 or 5.0.1 (i'm not sure anymore) I have this annoying 16gb bug (Android only shows me 16gb although i have a 32gb device) on my Nexus 5 (32 gb). In some threads, i've read, that a factory reset over the stock recovery could fix this. But now the problem is, that my stock recovery is broken (or something like that). When i want to boot into the stock recovery i only see a dead Android with a exclamation mark. CWM works fine, but can't fix the 16gb bug.
I already tried to reflash other versions of the recovery using fastboot, but none worked.
Any ideas, how to fix this?
And by the way.. Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Germany.

There should be a thread as sticky. This has been asked way to often! Hold power and press vol up
EDIT: Halte die Power Taste gedrückt und drücke währenddessen kurz Lauter im stock recovery

to enter bootloader menu: (middle button (joystick) down + power button)
also i found SDHC driver in this forum, and it works on my mio A201 (tested with 16GB and 8GB SDHC cards)

Stuck on boot screen... download mode still works.

Hi Guys
This morning my GT-N8000 wouldn't boot. It's stuck on the boot screen displaying "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1".
I pressed the power button for a while making the device reboot and pressed power & vol-down to enter download mode. Download mode is working so I loaded Odin and the device was recognized so I flashed stock ROM with success. Flash went well and it reached 100% and no error messages from Odin and the Note 10.1 rebooted as expected. BUT... it's still stuck on boot screen.
Is it possible to make a hard reset somehow? Maybe while it's connected to the computer somehow?
I suppose I will have to send it in for repairs
Brgds...
Go first to recovery Mode (Power + Volume Up) and make a Factory Reset, After this CLEAR CACHE. Reboot and maybe thats it. If not, Flash now again with odin.
Your Data and Setting are all delete after this, but i dont know a other Way :-\

Power+Vol up will not bring up recovery mode on mine... are you sure it does on yours?
Okay.... Switch off the Note.
Hold down Power and Volume Up, if you see the Boot Logo, hold only the "volume up" down and release the power button until you see the Android symbol

I have the same problem, my GNote is stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen.
I've tried to switch off the note, but the screen goes off for one second and it lights up again at the same screen.
If I plug the USB cable and try to switch it off, the note goes to the battery charging screen.
Odin seems to "connect" with the table.
I can enter the download mode and just that. I can't enter the recovery.
Attached pictures of qhat I get.
Any sugestions?

Did you try to flash stock firmware when in download mode and connected to odin?

Then i guess the only way would be to flash a stock firmware using odin, eg the one it came with from the factory.
You should be able to download a stock firmware from SamFirmware, after you have created a free account....
umm...

it shows you that i have already tried this method your telling me about and all it says is "Fail" :/
Any other suggestions?
didn't solve mine... ... ...
Agelcer:
I did as you said, but unfortunately, for me Odin always gave me the Failed Message.
I used the firmware file from the link and the Odin 3.07 from the other link as well.
Did anyone get the same result?
And did anyone find a solution for this problem after failing with this method?
Thanks
Usual reasons for fail .
Wrong Firmware / Wrong Model .
Bad firmware download .
I went to a service with my N8000. They put another EMMC and tried something with JTAG (they didn't say the exact details), still doesn't work. What other things can I do, apart from changing the whole board - the most expensive solution (is there a little component that could be damaged and it gets stuck at boot logo)?

I tried to search for that phone, but I found that every information about that phone is in russian language. but I can't understand Russian.
so I tried to find something in English about that phone. all I could get was this link:-
4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=520024&st=200
which tells how you could flash a custom Rom, (which is not officially for this phone but for some other phone) if you are rooted.
But as this Rom is not for this phone , it contains bugs like you would not be able to open the camera etc.
so you can access the above link and read about it.
tell me what happens!!

I sent it to warranty, i think that will help, because it says root ruins warranty, right? But how can they tell it's rooted when it's not turning on?
Btw, how could i flash a custom rom on that phone, if i can't get into recovery mode? I flashed one on my HTC One V and i first had to intall the custom recovery, so i don't know how i'm to flash it on this phone. P.S. I checked google ''chainfire3d bricked my phone'' and i get an answer that its because its not compatible with Jelly Bean, **** why im never reading app descriptions? and why are they not putting an real warning that its not compatible with some android versions???? So i read some people say that i can delete the chainfire3d's driver manually through the SDK Manager, so i tried that, but in the cmd it didn't find my device, because it says that it was unplugged, and it was actually plugged but it was like turned off because i couldnt turn it on, so i guess thats why that failed for me I have all the right phone's driver intalled in my computer so that couldn't be the problem. if someone can tell me how i can get it to be ''PLUGGED IN'' when phone is actually off, but the USB cable is plugged?

Is your phone not at all turning on or is it turning on and stopping at the boot animation?

Just stopping at the boot animation, but it shows me anyway it's unplugged, even when its on the boot animation. P.S. i somehow got it to recovery mode, i cleaned the cache and did factory reset, but it still just stops at the boot animation.
The fact that there is a boot animation means that phone is not bricked hard.Usually pressing vol up and power button or volume up down and power and holding it for some more seconds brings up download mode or the default recovery. Never try to root phone without cwm recovery it just means that if something goes wrong then your phone is ruined. But I think that warranty will probably find out that you are rooted if they can find the recovery or access the partitions of the phone

Holding volume up+volume down+power my phone just vibrates for like 10 seconds and then stops and nothing happens? Volume up+power just turns the phone on to the boot animation and thats it.

Iespējams ka tur ir risinājums.
can you boot your phone in flashmode? use flashtool to flash stock rom, then root again
čali, tu cerēji, ka tik tikko iznākušam telefonam jau tādas lietas darīt? tas nav nekāds samsungs vai htc, kuram visi uzreiz taisa rootus un custom romus, šis ir tikai kārtējais ķīniešu ražojums. varbūt vari mēģināt pats ko izdarīt, ja saproti ko no šīm štellēm.

Nu ja zin ko dara, tad jau var, bet ja android pāršūšanā un root'ošanā nav pieredzes tad jau vienalga kas pa trubu viņam un cik sen iznākusi.
Es savam pirmajās minūtēs pēc izpakošanas uzliku root, nomainīju recovery un paaugstināju skaļumu caur mtk engineer settings. Nu tālāk arī tvīki. Un viss bez datora. Tā kā vajag tik zināt ko dari un kā

assuming you want to boot to usb just hold volume down and press the power button but dont hold the power button and keep holding volume down until the surface logo appears. then select the keyboard layout and click troubleshoot and reset this pc. if it asks for a recovery key just press skip this drive then select the os you want to reset and click repartition these drives. then click on either just remove my files or fully clean the drive. now click reset and wait till it reboots. if it asks to clear the tpm just press f12 or volume up
