[Q] Internal Storage Corrupt

I installed TWRP to install a different kernel.
It installed and offered to wipe Dalvik Cache, which I thought would be a good idea. It then seemed to get stuck doing this, so eventually I turned off and rebooted.
It rebooted fine, but the internal memory seems to be unreadable and Google Play seems to constantly crash.
I thought the quickest way to start again was to oem lock and unlock again. It then seemed to get stuck booting up.
I got back into TWRP and did a data reset, which is now allowing me to boot again, but I still have no Internal Storage and Google Play still FC's.
I'm currently trying the Nexus 5 Multi Tool to reset back to original state (flash back stock ROM)
It's got 30 minutes to go, downloading the ROM... so I thought I would ask if anyone had any ideas for me?
Thanks.

[Q] Phone won't boot

I've been having spontanious reboot problems where my charge would reboot and get stuck in a boot loop freezing on the droid eye animation and rebooting. In the past I've been able to clear the delvic cache and regular cache and get the phone to boot and go back to working order. Today however, clearing cache didn't work. Thinking this was a software problem, I connected the phone to oden and flashed the stock software ED1. I was planning to install back to EP5 and redo Tweaked 3.2 since the phone had developed a lot of lag.
Now the phone gets to the droid eyebll and stays there. Every so often the animation freezes for a second or two then continues. Is the phone dead? Can it be brought back to life so that I can use it while I figure out a new phone. I'm asking because this is my only smartphone and I'm now stuck activating my old chocolate flip

Why all the way back to ED1? Do you have everything backed up in case you need to flash with the pit file?

No, the phone is not dead, it is a bit lag.

[Q] Stuck in Lollipop flying dots,Flash Kitkat gives no external storage & no service

[Q] Stuck in Lollipop flying dots,Flash Kitkat gives no external storage & no service
My device is a Nexus 5 32GB.
It was on Kitkat but I updated to Lollipop a couple of months ago, and everything was running with no errors.
This week when restarting the phone, it got stuck on the flying dots boot screen with nothing working to get it going.
I tried wiping Cache, Dalvikcache, Data, Factory reset but no effect.
I reflashed Lollipop original ROM using adb/fastboot but no use.
I flashed Cyanogenmod 12 but it got stuck on its own boot screen.
I flashed Kitkat original ROM and it got past the boot screen and worked, but most applications do not work (example: Camera, Gallery) and give a "No External Storage Error". I also have no Service (no phone, no mobile data), SIM card cannot be detected.
Again I tried wiping Cache, Dalvikcache, Data, Factory reset but no effect.
I downloaded the Lollipop OTA update but it got stuck on flying dots again, so I reflashed Kitkat.
Now I have no service and no external storage detected again.
I am unable to install any apps from the Play Store.
Please help

When you flash back to KK, did you flash userdata and cache ? If no, do so.
What do you call external storage ? N5 only have internal storage.
Then I would say, follow this tutorial if you didn't try it already : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47156078&postcount=2
It's help me when my phone won't boot up after downgrading from L to KK

[Q] Nexus 5 stuck at flying dots. Any pointers where to proceed.

Hi Guys,
I was playing Clash of Clans on my Nexus 5 when my phone ran out of battery. I charged & switched on, from there my phone was stuck at flying dots. What I tried,
Hard Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Then again re-booted it, still again stuck at flying dots. Then used TWRP recovery, but still it stuck at flying dots.
After this little stint with TWRP, finally flashed Lollipop version5.1.1 (LMY48B), but again it stuck at flying dots.
But this time, I received ./cache partition error. I have used the steps mentioned in this link:
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
+ fastboot flash cache cache.img mentioned in here:
HTML:
http://androidforums.com/threads/nexus-5-stuck-in-the-start-up-screen.887612/
Though cache partition error got removed, but still was stuck at the same situation. Finally, roll-backed to KIT-KAT, this time it worked, but Camera, Gallery, Play Store was continuously crashing. When I opened the gallery it showed no SD card, then I downloaded few files + downloaded OTA update, they both got downloaded. So, I think internal memory is my fine, don't know the possible reason of this error. One more thing, my sim card was also not readable.
Few hours later, I again flashed my phone to Lollipop, then again got stuck at flying points.
PS : Apologies for making this post long, but just want to tell the methods I tried.

Wokeup to my phone stuck in a bootloop... [SOLVED]

UPDATE: I have finally managed to get my phone working again! Am now currently re-downloading all my apps and transferring all my files back to my phone, running AOSPExtended (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-aospextended-rom-t3732194) with OpenGApps. I'll write the steps I took to figure this mess out at the end of this post for anyone who might encounter the same problem in the future. :good:
So last night I left my phone charging overnight from 54% as I was downloading a couple of files (my internet is 1Mbps or 125KB/s). I've done this a couple of times before with no problems what so ever. But this morning I woke up and my phone was in a boot loop. I've tried everything I can think of and everything I could find on these forums, but to no luck. I am at my wits end and I have no clue what to do except to do a full factory reset, which I'd rather not do as its been a while since my last backup and I would lose a lot of precious files...
My Phone: OnePlus One 64GB Sandstone Black, purchased in August 2014.
ROM: cm-13.0-ZNH5Y-20161105-STABLE-Sultan-bacon
Recovery: TWRP+3.0.3-2-TugaPower
Firmware: bacon_firmware_update_2016_1-25_.4.0.1.c7-00011
The boot loop itself is odd, I'll describe them separately here.
-I can boot into fastboot, but not while the USB is plugged into my PC. I have to boot into fastboot, followed by plugging it into my PC. If I try to boot into fastboot while it is plugged in, the screen goes completely black and goes back into the bootloop. However, the phone shows up in Device Manager during the black screen.
- I can boot into Recovery, but the phone automatically reboots and goes back into the bootloop after a few minutes. One thing I have noticed is that if I let it reboot by itself, all the settings reset (including the confirmation to allow modifying of files when you first boot into recovery). But if I manually reboot back into recovery, the settings remain the same; atleast until it reboots automatically again.
Here, I'll list the things that I have tried to no avail:
1. Following this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/3izejg/so_youve_just_bricked_your_oneplus/, when I try to wipe Dalvik cache and cache from recovery, the phone goes right back into the bootloop
2. I tried flashing a newer version of TWRP (3.2.1-0 and 3.2.1-K2). After flashing I try to boot into recovery but the TWRP loading screen displays, and then goes right back into the bootloop. It wont even let me into the main menu.
3. I tried flashing a ROM through fastboot (via this post, https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-oneplus-one-flashing-fastboot-recovery.301131/). The phone still remains in a bootloop.
HOWEVER, if I flash my previous recovery (TWRP+3.0.3-2-TugaPower replacing the stock cyanogen recovery from this method), my phone manages to get past the 1+ screen, and goes through my custom power on screen, and reaches the "Android is starting... Optimizing app 1 of 67." But it never gets past app 1, freezes, and then reboots. So now it's stuck in this "extended" bootloop thing.
What I want to know: is there anyway to fix my phone, or will I have to lose all my data and do a full factory reset through the ColorOS method? If anyone has any experience with this or knows a way to help, please don't hesitate!
Thank you in advance.
WHAT WORKED FOR ME:
After following the steps in this post (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-oneplus-one-flashing-fastboot-recovery.301131/) my phone was booting up, but was kicked back into a boot loop after freezing at the "Android is starting.. Optimizing app 1 of 67" screen. However, the recovery was now the default CyanogenMod recovery. I then re-flashed my previous recovery (TWRP+3.0.3-2-TugaPower) from fast boot, and it was now stable (no more auto-reboots). From there I made a backup off all my files onto my PC before proceeding. After that, I did what this post said (https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/3izejg/so_youve_just_bricked_your_oneplus/) and wiped Cache + Dalvik cache. This allowed me to boot all the way past the "Android is starting" screen. However, the phone was still rendered unusable as there were non-stop notifications saying various apps had stopped working. I then booted back into recovery, downloaded and pushed a new ROM and GApps package on to my phone, wiped system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and installed the ROM and GApps pacakge, clearing the cache one more time before rebooting. Everything is working beautifully so far and I could not be happier! I hope this helps anyone else who encounters this problem, Cheers!
