Please help, I think I bricked my device.

I tried unlocking the bootloader and it said unlocked, but when it booted back up it did the whole system update thing, and then it kept force closing the phone app. Well, I held down the power button for ~15 seconds, and now when it boots back up, it gets to the brown part of the boot animation, (farm type motorola) and goes to a black screen.
Going into the bootloader and selecting factory does the same thing.
Please help?

Flashed CWM, wiped data/cache and it got past the screen with the brown, but now it just boots to the black screen after the water drop part.

Thank you so much. It's working. At first I flashed the XT1032 because I thought AWS was the Global version, but I flashed the correct firmware just now. Again, thanks.

If you don't find a solution, you could try doing the same to about 2,000 more moto G's and build a small house..

Nexus stuck at update screen (droid with polyhedron)

My Nexus 5 seems to get stuck at the update screen (the standing green android with the spinning polyhedron) after flashing to stock(+unroot) with softbrick/bootloop checked. The flash completed without error. I've left it at this screen for over an hour and not only does it not progress it doesn't even get to the progress bar at the bottom.
This afternoon my (unrooted, bootlocked, stock) N5 turned itself off 3 times while on the charger. Powered back on and then would find it turned off 20 or so minutes later when I checked it again. After the third time it booted to the "Google" screen and would go no further. I tried a hard reset but it gave an error. So I plugged it into my laptop and fired up Wug's NRT, unlocked the bootloader (at which point it got stuck at the same update screen described above for around an hour). I held power till it went off, booted back into bootloader (which showed as unlocked) and performed the flash to stock(+unroot) with softbrick/bootloop checked and ended up at the update animation again. Any thoughts other than RMA?
****Edit: Finally got the phone to boot after fastboot booting twrp. Was able to to wipe the phone (after multiple attemps blocked by can not mount storage/cache/etc/etc errors). Flashed 4.4 and the phone now boots to android BUT radio is non-functional (no signal despite being in my normal coverage area), any attempt to add an APN causes a hard reboot (had to go through all the setup screens again). Additionally, the phone won't turn off, even hard power downs (holding the button for 30 secs) lead to an immediate reboot. Still RMAing but I was able to relock the bootloader.

You really shouldn't RMA a phone after messing it up yourself by using a toolkit when you didn't know what you were doing.
Flash the factory images manually. That should get your phone up and running again.

Performed a manual flash with the exact same results. There is apparently something wrong with the hardware (which may explain why it was turning itself off and then wouldn't boot past the google logo.

Yep, I would agree.

[Solved] Stock Htc One Mini Brick (not unlocked, no root)

Hey guys! I would really appreciate some help.
My phone details:
- Htc one mini, European Version
- *Locked*
- *S-ON*
- Hboot: 2.21.0000
- Radio: 1.22.40e.00.07
- No root
- completly Stock (I think, it schould be on Android v. 4.2)
My story: I've sent this phone to HTC for a repair, because some application (dialer, hangouts etc.) continuously force closed. A factory reset didn't fix the problem and as it's the phone of my mother, i didn't want to unlock it and go with a custom rom. So I've sent it to Htc.
Unfortunatly, after 3 (!) failed repairing attempts, they sent me the phone back, but when I try to power it on, I'm stuck on the white Htc screen. Sometimes the phone loads until the htc screen with the beat sounds logo, but that's it.It stucks at that screen. I can't turn the phone on. Htc told me they wouldn't repair the phone anymore, because i've messed up something with the bootloader (wtf?!). It's the only phone I have, that I never unlocked...Anyway:
I'm able to enter in recovery (the black screen with the phone and the red exclamation point/mark), but nothing more.
So please help me to unbrick the phone. Any suggetion is really appreciate.
Thanks in advanced and sorry for my english.

Fixing it would be hard without unlocking the bootloader, maybe you can try to get a logcat and see what errors it gives

First of all, thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunatly i can't use adb, because, I presume, the usb debugging isn't turned on.
Unlocking the bootloader at this point wouldn't be an issue for me. But after unlocking it, what would you advice me to do?
Update: In the meantime I unlocked successfully the bootloader.
Uptade 2: Successful installed TWRP 2.7.1.0a
Update 3ROBLEM SOLVED..once installed twrp, i sideloaded a stock rom to my device internal memory and flashed it via recovery. After wiping cache and dalvik the phone rebooted!
Thank you LQi for your help.

[Q] I have problems with updating lollipop 5.0 in my Nexus 4.

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.

stuck on boot animation, and unable to get stock recovery to work

So recently for some reason my Nexus 5 gets stuck on the booting animation. I think it was updating to 6.0.1 or something but I'm not sure, because I just woke up one day and the phone wouldn't boot, and when it finally did it just gets stuck on the boot animation. I've tried to flash stock images and etc but I need an unlocked boot loader and for some reason if the phone doesn't boot completely after unlocking the bootloader, then it gets re-locked. So now my last option is to use the stock recovery to wipe data or something but when I go to the screen with the dead android guy, no combination of buttons seem to make the recovery options show up. If anyone could help that would be great, even if it doesn't involve the stock recovery!

unlock

You only need to go back to the bootloader to unlock and then flash factory images, why do you need recovery?

If the bootloader is relocking itself after a reboot, the emmc has probably gone bad and can only be fixed with a motherboard swap.

aw that's unfortunate. thanks anyway

I had two Nexus 5 phones that would bootloop and, eventually, the bootloader would keep relocking each time I rebooted.
I bought a couple of used N5s with busted screens, swapped motherboards, and everything went back to normal. A new motherboard is way too expensive.
