SO i think I totally bricked my phone. Any input would be great. MMy phone boots up and is stuck on lg screen. I tried flash CWM and stock recovery but nothing. Any ideas or should i just send back and get a new one
I really mucked this one up
It's not a brick if it turns on! But I'm fairly new to this phone and I'm not familiar with it at all Normally I would suggest to fastboot flash the new OFFICIAL CWM recovery image, but I don't even know where to begin with fastboot on this phone

It would probably be a little helpful (if you want help) if you let everyone know what you were doing when you "bricked" your phone. That way people know where to start in assisting you.

I had a infinite loop problem on mine. I just restored to stock.
Turn phone off (pull battery if needed)
Turn on while holding volume down + power button

What happens when you try to boot into recovery mode?
OK here is what I did to brick my device.
I wanted to do a factory reset and I used clockwork recovery to do so.
Wat I didn't know what that Clockwork recovery was going to format my system.
I can only get into fast boot via vol up+vol+down+power
Cannot get back to stock recovery or CWM. Tried flashing via fastboot method
My phone just goes to LG screen no loading bar
Currently the only function is fastboot
Did you try formatting via Vol-Down + Power?

Capacitive touch also are not lit appear to be not working
1) Fastboot flash the official CWM recovery image
2) download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
3) put the NANDROID in the correct folder on your sdcard: /sdcard/_ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup/
4) restore via recovery
Thanks for everyones input, Called t-mobile they are shipping a new one out asap. I'm just going to have to suck it up till tuesday.
I love trial and error they only thing i lost is a little time

I flashed official CWM recovery image numerous times via fastboot and phone just gets stuck at lg screen. Once again vol up+power and vol down+pwer does nothing
Is there another fastboot method or adb method to restore CWM?
did the same thing it bricked my phone does nothing else than start up then freezes. f-ING pissed
The best thing with Nvidia phones and tablets is that its barely impossible to brick your phone. If you think you bricked it - you just need NV flash and either the stock rom or stock recovery and you are back to normal
I have done that with my old G-tablet - it was a piece of cake to fix it.
is there an nv flash for mac?
thought i did the same thing!
if you can get it into format hit the home button. hopefully vol+down+power will get you there. pull your battery and you may just get lucky if done enough times? i would keep trying. good luck
Got my new Oneplus One and rooted it. (CM Version 11.0 xnph25r?). But, when I press Vol Down + Power, it just bootloops into a never ending TWRP logo screen. When I press Vol Up + Power I get a picture of a small Penguin! If I press the Power button by itself it boots normally. So basically my phone works, but I seem unable to boot into recovery mode (which scares the heck out of me). Can anyone venture a guess as to what is going on?
Thanks!

Use fastboot flash another recovery, or redownload another TWRP recovery. Personally I use PhilZ Touch.
I also flashed philz recovery and it is working great, if you can't manually install recovery there are plenty of oneplus toolkits on these forums that just need fastboot.

Thanks. I'll try that and rport back tomorrow!
Yes use a toolkit from here and install philz recovery. All should be good

I wiped everything - including the OS-- and can only get the "penguin" when holding Vol UP + Power.
Anyone want to buy a nice looking paperweight?
I truly feel sorry for you, so no fastboot at all? And did you try different Oneplus One toolkits?

no fastboot at all...jeez
pouring myself a large drink now!
Maybe you can talk with a Oneplus Rep and tell them you received a phone that would never boot up? I just read on a XDA forum that if you hold you power button for 30 seconds 5 times it will reset a certain chip. It actually worked for a couple people. I would give it a try if I was you.

Hey no worries, I was in same situation as u. I fixed mine. I will write instructions for u later. I'm at work rite now.

The penguin IS the fastboot. So this is what u do (having properly installed ADB and have android SDK):
First in android SDK folder go to platform tools where fastboot.exe is located. Download the proper TWRP recovery and name it "recovery.img" and place it in this folder. Also In here hold shift and right click on a clear area, from the menu choose "open CMD here". Now turn off ur phone and after hold power+volm UP to boot into fastboot mode. Connect phone to PC and in CMD type "oem unlock" then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". This should flash the twrp recovery. Now turn off phone and hold volume DOWN +power to boot into twrp. U can flash w.e ROM u want in this recovery now.

I rebooted my OnePlus One yesterday and found myself in a weird situation. The phone would go to the initial OnePlus logo then after, a smal android logo with a red warning sign appears for a split second, and I boot into the CM stock recovery. I can't turn it on or enter fastboot, nor can I turn on ADB Debugging on my phone and would really appreciate help as I do not want this phone to be gone. Pretty scared guys, help would be much appreciated!
I've never seen this problem before.
I supose you are bootloader unlocked, rooted and have costum recovery, right?
For fastboot, if it does not work normally, try: up button + power with the phone connected to the PC; if it does not work, try the same button combo + plug the phone to the pc while you are holding down the buttons.

Thanks for the prompt response. I think you should also know that I attempted to put a custom recovery on my OPO, but after saying that it worked, I only loaded into the CM Stock Recovery. I do not, have my phone with me at the moment as I did not think it would be necessary to bring to school with me, but I will attempt everything you have said. Thanks for the help so far!

I attempted both ways but nothing happens as I press the buttons. It will only boot in the CM Simple Recovery.

I believe you messed it up for good, since you: can't get into fastboot; have no recovery; have no backups... If you could get fastboot to go you would only need to flash twrp and then sideload a rom =/
Does the stock recovery let you sideload?

Yes. It does.
Download the stock image. I'm sure it will be there somewhere in the forums.
Then go to recovery and do the following:
Select 'apply update'. Then you either have the option to apply update from Internal Storage or from adb.
Select adb and enter: adb sideload update_filename.zip

assuming it's the stock android recovery, i'm pretty sure it allows for sideloading.

I was trying to fix my girlfriends nexus 5 that was doing the restart loop after an update. Everything seemed to go fine. Unlocked the bootloader, etc. Flashed the newest rom (6.0.1 (MMB29S) ce1d670f61061c3902f3997510ea55d7 6bfcdfa4f4840898e5d76fa044f5e6a0f71343bf) and then something obviously went wrong (not quite sure, dont think i touched anything) and it's now stuck in a different kind of loop that only loops while it's plugged in. Ive uploaded a video to youtube, but since im a new user i cant actually link it properly yet. Hopefully this wont annoy any mods, I promise it's not spam. youtube . be / yNSoiTPnGZw
Is there any way to get it to stay on for more than a couple seconds to retry the flashing?
Any help is appreciated.

First i followed the guide here on xda to unlock the bootloader(guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905), installed twrp, which went fine. Then i realized that i couldnt (or didnt realize how to via command line) to copy the stock rom and install it via twrp, so then i followed this guide here on xda (tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) with the factory img (6.01 hammerhead), got to this point in the guide: ★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons. then it stalled out,turned off and now just cycles on and offf through the google logo with the lock picture or if i hold down the volume button it will go into the bootloader briefly then restart, rinse repeat.

Have u tried messing with the power button, there are a lot of issues on the nexus 5 with the power button causing loops, simply from getting stuck, try playing with the power button a little and see of that helps, it might just need to be replaced
Wait, did u flash the factory img with twrp, or did u flash it using fastboot?

in the end fastboot, since i coulndt see how i could copy the img over to install via twrp
im pretty sure the button is fine, since it was cycling from the ota update install, then was working fine unlocking the bootloader, but after the flash, it crapped the bed.
Different problem
I had a problem where the google logo keeps on booting up with a slight vibration.This started to happen when my was dropped.I initially thought that was a software issue and thought of installing new ROM's but eventually my device was not detected :crying:
So i took it to repair shop near my house and they said it would cost 2500
I did some google research and found the reason was due to the power button being stucked during the fall.I got that repaired and my device is good to go

ok, took it into a shop, got the power button fixed. It must have been on the way out because literally one minute it worked and the second it didnt. now i think ive got it narrowed down. it's saying it's unable to mount /persist. ive tried the various fixes:
e2fsck/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
and
make_ext4fs/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
but all i get is a not found error. not sure what to do from here on.
success!! i ended up stumbling on a bit how to restore the persist partition i didnt try. got a custom rom installs and everything works. thanks to everyone who tried to help!!
stuck in bootloop while flashing cataclysm rom
i tried to flash cataclysm rom in my n5..i unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery using TWRP and flash cataclysm rom following the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...s-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905...after that it was stuck in bootloop...i tried to open recovery but it wont open anymore it will only go back to loop....how can open the recovery? is it safe to flash CWM recovery?..tnx in advance..
When it was stuck in the loop, I had to hold vol up and down with the power button (wait a few secs until it was completely off) then reboot holding down + power till it opened the bootloader. if that doesnt work, try reflashing the bootloader via fastboot. I only found out i couldnt mount the persist partition by looking at the terminal window in twrp after trying to install a rom which kept it in the boot loop. I then used the cmd: make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist to rebuild it.

After flashing TWRP, use the volume and power button to select recovery. Once in TWRP, wipe cache, data, reboot.

Yesterday my phone died for no reason, and i've been trying everything i can to restore it...
What heleped me a little was the QFIL software, and downloading with it the Color OS.... the problem is that i can't access the fastboot, and the recovery boot only lets me wipe cache and data...
anyone knows how to acces the fast boot??? or is there a way to install CM12 and TWRP with QFIL??
I really need to preserve some data already in the phone, so i havent risked the chance to wipe everything...

If you're able to boot into recovery,why not in fastboot(vol+ + power)? That's strange.Also it is really a matter of doubt that you'll be able to save your data if you're not able to boot into fastboot mode.
Did you tried to flash another twrp recovery with Twrp?

and i use it rotating it 180º, which had worked fine for over half a year now... i bought and replaced a screen once, but it only lasted 11 days...

You mean it didn't booted? FYI,Gapps has nothing to do with rom booting,they are optional.
First boot can usually take 20-30 mins.
