So today after a doctors appointment i checked my phone to see the time. when i got home my phone was stuck in the google screen. i waited for about one hour as i had to go some place else. when i came home the phone was still in the google screen. at this point i could still go in to recovery mode. i searched a bit on the internet and then flash+unroot from the nexus toolkit from the stock 5.0.1 that i had to the stock 5.1.1 . it still didn't open. i searched some more and I found that i needed to enter recovery mode and wipe everything off. i tried making a backup with the toolkit but it didn't work. then i tried going to recovery mode and it also didn't work. next i tried to flash a 4.4.4 version as i saw it worked from someone but it is stuck at the point "waiting for device" .
i don't know what to do. please help me fast , i need to leave town in 4 days and i don't have time to take it to service and i don't have a back up phone either.
your help would be much appreciated
edit: when i try to enter recovery now the phone shuts completely down
edit2: my nexus toolkit apparently didn't flash properly so atm i have no os on my phone. (it is confimed by a twrp recovey i booted with the nexus toolkit) i am currently struggling to find out how to install and os without recovery mode or toolkit, help would be appreciated
edit 3 : if anyone is reading this, i manage to boot a recovery image but it only shows an android robot with a red exclamation mark, i cant use adb commands, it says device not found, still don't know what to do
if i try to install os with a flash-all.bat it says failed remote flash write failure, same as with the nexus toolkit
if i try to wipe cache from the trwp recovery it says taht i cant mount any partition so i think my memory drive is busted
Hello, thank you for using XDA Assist.
Try asking for help HERE and the Nexus 5 experts will help you there.
My guess is that you need to unlock the bootloader to use the flashall.bat
Have Fun!

I searched everywhere on this forum and found somewhat similar problems but none as d\ifficult as mine. I have a Tmobile htc mytouch 4g slide and I attempted to root it tonight when I got kinda stuck. I was using MyTouch_4G_Slide_All-In-One_Kit_V1.0 by Hasoon 2000. I got CWM v 5.2.0.7 installed and attempted to install cyanogenmod from my sd card while in recovery mode. It installed successfully but when i restarted it got stuck on the boot up screen (I guess its also called the splashscreen). In order to get back to recovery mode i had to pull the battery. I tried formatting from the CWM menu in recovery and then re installed cyanogen but the same thing happened again. Then one of my family members came in and clicked on the install stock recovery button to see if that would help. So now I have stock recovery installed but also installed the not working cyanopgenmod. Now I cant get my computer to recognize my device to re install CWM. This is my first time rooting a device and I have no experience with development so please be patient with me. My computer recognizes it when i first enter recovery mode but then it says it was unplugged and my phone shows a picture of a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. I am worried there is nothing i can do since doing a factory reset just results in a frozen splashscreen and my computer wont recognize it and i cant get in to recovery mode to install a different rom. Any help would be much appreciated
Sorry if this info is posted somewhere already, I searched and could not find my exact issue.
So, woke up this morning noticed Nexus 5 was off. So i turned it on and it will not load past the Google logo. It doesn't keep rebooting to it like others have said but just stays on the Google logo.
I can do the Volume down + power to get into what it says is the FASTBOOT MODE with the green robot on its back. However, selecting Recovery mode just takes me to a blank screen.
I have tried installing TWRP but it did not appear to work. The install said it failed the first time after a while, tried again and it said it worked. However still nothing when selecting Recovery.
Phone is Rooted with stock Android 4.4.4 no custom ROMs.
I appreciate any help.
If this doesn't work, any reviews on the new Moto X? Does it get the new updates right away also? Really do not want to get away from Stock Android.
Fastboot a system and see if that works

Can you give me more detail than that please.
OK, i believe I fastbooted a system.img like suggested. However still nothing.
When trying to do a factory reset "erase userdata" on the phone it hangs up on "erasing..." So it wont even factory reset lol. sigh....
Apparently Google cant fix it either. Getting a new phone
Lol. Might as well unlock the bootloader straight away then before any data is put on

So, my phone was stuck in No Command bootloop. I’ve done the power+volume up and had cleared cache and even done a factory reset. Those did nothing and my phone is still in stuck No Command loop. I think I’ve made it even worse by trying to Flash Recovery and Reboot options in the Nexus Tool Kit because my phone won’t even get to the No Command screen. It just turns on and turns off after Google comes on. Currently it stuck in that loop and only stops once the battery is completely drained. Also i have tried using power + volume up and it doesn't help . Please help

As you've upgraded to lollipop ?? You came from a custom rom ?? Enters the bootloader?

with wugfresh nexus root toolkit click on the button "soft-bricked"(flash stock + unroot) or something like that to restore the phone. After that try another time to unlock and root with a custom recovery (for example twrp).
When nexus root toolkit installing the original lollipop rom, look the "dos window" to see if the software shows errors, because sometimes the process ends without a real restore.
If you have other problems, please post a screenshot.

Hi, people. I hope you can help me.
My problem is that my rooted Nexus 7 (2012) with 3G and kitkat Stock Android suddenly turned into so called brick state. Only Google logo was appearing during the boot, and that will last forever. Then, just for interest, I tried to enter into the recovery mode (Clockwork Recovery v6.0.4.3 for tilapia), but the device did not go into it. The logo of CWM appeared in the middle of the screen and then the device reboots automatically showing the Google logo screen for several seconds and then going into recovery mode with the CWM logo appearing on the centre of the screen, and then reboot again. This recovery bootloop lasts forever or till the battery runs out. I tried to use
Code:
adb devices
and
Code:
fastboot devices
on my nexus 4, everythings works fine (meaning drivers are installed correclty). But
Code:
fastboot devices
for the nexus 7 outputs into
Code:
- waiting for device -
I tried to force the battery to run out and then tried to go into fastboot, but that did not help, the recovery bootloop appeared on its own again. Please, help me, I don't know what to do.
EDIT. I tried to pull out the battery for a half day (disconnect battery connectors) in hope that this will somehow reset the boot options, but this did not help.
Any thoughts?
Also, if the thread is not in the appropriate branch of the forum, please, let me know, probably at correct location I will find more help. Thanks.
EDIT2. I solved the problem by trying to enter the bootloader mode via adb. But to enter bootloader required a liitle bit of humoristic approach. I was pressing UP then ENTER to enter fastboot mode via termianl (#adb reboot-bootloader) for 5 to 10 minutes. When I managed to enter the fastboot, I flashed TWRP recovery for tilapia and the latest 5.1 Lopllipop But it seems there is a bug in the stock recovery because it does not work with NEXUS 7, the last two updates of Kitkat and Lollipop required to flash custom recovery, because the stock one did the bootloop on either Google logo or the animation of "beautiful" circles.
Thanks for reading, hope this might help someone.

Hi,
Glad to hear it solved
Good Luck!
Thread Closed.
Hi all,
I have a Nexus 5 that I bought second hand. It powers up but is stuck in a bootloop. The Google Logo appears and it starts to load but it does not progress. I can get in to boot loader and I have tried to do a factory reset but it it still stays in the boot loop. I have tried to install the new factory software using the Nexus Root Toolkit but nothing. The Phone is also locked and I cant unlock the phone so the Nexus Root Toolkit wont allow me to try to flash the stock image? I am at the end of my knowledge base as I have tried almost all the normal methods to unbrick and fix the boot loop. The Phone can access the boot loader. When I try to unlock the phone using the Nexus Root Toolkit, it unlocks it but does not write the data and it becomes unresponsive! I have no idea if USB developer is on in settings as I have never got in to the Android operating system as I cant get past the bootloop.
Your help and suggestions would be most helpful as I am now at an end of my abilities until I am further educated about how to resolve the issue.
Res
I haven't tried this myself (no need), but since you seem to have nothing to lose give it a go. It's official Google, and comes with instructions.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota#instructions
Does the fastboot oem unlock command work?
Do you have all the correct usb and adb drivers installed??
First off, I suggest doing some reading up on adb and fastboot. Then manually flash factory images first and try to boot the phone completely.
The links @dahawthorne will help a lot.
Then try the command that @audit13 mentioned.
