[Q] Black screen after boot - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wipes the cache/dalvik and data and flashed RastaPop - everything worked fine.
I cleared internal storage in TWRP and after this as soon as it boots the screen goes black (still with backlight) - if i hold the power button the power actions pop up, but no way to access anything on the phone.
I've tried reflashing RastaPop and clearing everything.

Flashed stock rom using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Note to self, don't wipe internal storage

[Q] Phone seems hung up while doing a WIPE DATA

I entered the recovery mode and selected WIPE DATA
A new screen did appear but nothing seems to be happening..
Should I reboot; remove battery?
Kindly reply asap..
-Removed for Personal Information-
I suggest to remove battery, if you have nothing else to do. After that, enter cwm by clicking home+vol up+ power off and do the wipe again..
If you flashed CM10 and then wiped data, you will end up in this. So reinstall CM10 and Gapps before you startup your phone again.

[Q] I think I screwed up!

I went with this guide to root my Oneplus: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-t...and-install-custom-recovery-xda-developer-tv/
It worked, it is fully rooted (tried installing a root-acces app). It has TWRP recovery.
I wanted to install Mahdi-ROM, I went with this URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-mahdi-rom-2-7-oneplus-camera-4k-t2813107
I copied the GAPPS + Mahdi-ROM, booted into TWRP, went for advanced wipe and selected: Cache, System and Dalvik, like the guide says.
It worked and went on with flashing the Mahdi ZIP and Gapps ZIP. It said installation was succesfull, then it restarted to the onplus (powered by android) screen.
After this screen comes the 4 coloured circles (green blue red yellow) that swirl into each other and out of each other. My phone has been stuck into this screen for around 30/40 minutes now. I cannot turn it off or perform any action at all...
WHAT HAPPENED?

first off of course you can turn it off but log into recovery and just wipe caches and try and reboot. If you dont know how to do that its by holding power button till it goes off then holding vol down and power to get back into recovery.
You can also try wipe system and reflash rom and gapps

I did not realize that I could turn it off while being in this screen. I turned it off, wiped everything this time (ticked 'Data' too) and reinstalled everything.
It works so smooth I can't believe it.. thank you!

[Q] Can't boot system or recovery

I've installed the CM12 ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-5-0-1-t2971945 and it was working fine, but I realized after installing that I had a lot of space on my internal storage still being used up by old apps I'd installed with the stock ROM. None of these apps were showing up in the app manager, so I decided to factory reset the device from the Settings menu in CM12 to wipe the internal storage and start over.
Now, my device gets to the TWRP "teamwin" splash page, and stays there, blinking to a black screen and back every few seconds. I can't get into recovery or system. I can get into download mode and I've flashed TWRP with Odin3 a few more times and it hasn't helped. My device is now stuck on this blinking flash screen and I cannot power it off. Holding the power button down simply reboots the device and I end up in the same spot. How can I fix this? I do have a backup of the stock ROM on a USB key that I made with TWRP before flashing the CM12 ROM, if that helps.
Thanks!
So after some digging, I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59627179&postcount=544 and I'm currently downloading stock firmware from sammobile at an excruciatingly slow speed. I should be able to try flashing it in 6-7 hours(!), and hopefully that gets the device booting properly again, then I'll try flashing TWRP, CM12, and gapps again.

[Completed] [Solved] Phone vibrates thrice and not booting

I have HTC Inspire 4G rooted. I rooted it with this method that first I moved the following zip file in root of sd card and then I turn off phone. By pressing Power button + Volume down, hboot (S-OFF) was shown and it automatically updated the stock bootloader and recovery. This is link to the zip file. The recovery is ClockworkMod v5.8.1.5 (with touch)...
and currently this ROM is installed
Yesterday my phone got little wet from the back side as I accidentally placed it on water. The water hardly get inside it. I picked it and cleaned it with tissue. The phone then turned off and from that time, I'm having this problem.
1. When I press power button, the phone vibrates 3 times and the orange notification light starts blinking but no display.
2. When I try to boot the bootloader by pressing Power + Volume down buttons, the phone vibrates 5 times and the yellow notification light is constantly shown (No blinking)
When I first updated bootloader and recovery, I noticed that when I turn off my phone and connect it to charger, CWM recovery is booted. So I tried this method and now I can boot into recovery. I had the custom xperia ROM zip file in sd card that my phone was using, I first backed up current ROM and data from recovery, wiped Dalvik cache and Battery stats, formated /system, /data and /cache,,,, and installed the ROM again. Same problem with bootloader.
I then wiped Dalvik cache and Battery stats, formated /system, /data and /cache and tried booting bootloader and ROM, same problem...
SOLUTION
I found solution today. The volume rocker was causing these problems. I could not clean volume buttons so I cut the volume rocker cable. and phone started like before.

[Completed] [NVRMIND] Phone stuck in bootloop, CWM won't load, fastboot unavailable

Okay so I'm not new to rooting, flashing custom roms, or using custom recoveries, but this one has stumped me.
After reading and researching several poorly written/translated guides I set out to flash the Miui6_5.3.20_r827_b3wok custom rom on my Oppo Find 5 Mini. I copied the CWM for the R827 into the sd card, using Mobile Uncle MTK tools to install it. I successfully rebooted into CWM, selected the factory reset option (wiping data and cache) and then format /system and wiped the dalvik cache. I then installed the zip of the custom rom, with no errors. However, the custom rom needed a patch, specifically the "VPN-Fix by Louise - AICP v10 - R827" which acc. to the instructions were supposed to be patches BEFORE gapps.
Now the problem is that at the end of flashing that patch, it automatically reboots the phone, so I held the power button while the Oppo logo was there and booted into CWM again. I then flashed gapps, and rebooted the device.
However, I am no longer able to get into CWM, nor does the Oppo logo move/progress. Pressing Volume Down + Power to get into recovery mode turns on the phone with the text =>Recovery Mode in the bottom left, but instead of going into CWM it now just turns off the screen, vibrates, and proceeds to boot as if I never attempted to go into recovery mode in the first place.
Is this phone well and truly bricked? Fastboot mode (Volume Up + Power) just vibrates the phone and turns it off, so theres no way I can do a adb reboot or sideload. I can however copy files to and fro the microSD card via a separate card reader, if it helps.
Thanks for helping , and sorry for the long read...This really is my last hope. :crying:
Update: Okay so I went to the Oppo store and after about 40 minutes they somehow both fixed it and updated to the ColorOS with Kitkat.
OP resolved.
