I am trying to fix my bootlooped nexus 5, but I can't flash any factory images, and factory resetting my phone does nothing. I have tried flashing roms directly from my recovery, but that doesn't work either. NOTHING IS WORKING. PLEASE HELP.

Don't use the flash-all script.
Use the Method 2 from the first post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Edit: read the first post completely before you do anything
So my phone recently had problems with the power button, and I decided to take it to a phone repair shop and they fixed it. However, now I'm having problems with a bootloop that I can't figure out.
I was running the Android M developer preview. I have tried many times to flash the 5.1.1 factory image, but it fails every time. It comes up with a writing failure for each part of the image (system, bootloader, recovery, etc.). I can go into fastboot and recovery mode, but in recovery I can not do anything, as it cannot mount the /cache and /sdcard... I tried formatting the cache many times, and it just doesn't seem to be helping...
Does anyone have any insight on how to get this to work?
I execute the flash-all.bat and this is what I get
C:\Users\reiga_000\Desktop\hammerhead-lmy48b>fastboot devices

Some time ago the power button of my Nexus5 was stucking once in a while, and kept rebooting.
So I bought a new power button and asked an assistance center to replace it.
This apparently resolved the power button issue, since it does not reboot anymore.
BUT, when i power on my Nexus5 it doesn't goes over the animation of the google logo (the colored one).
It keeps showing the moving dots animation looping forever.
I would like to try to do a soft or hard reset but I can't reach the recovery mode menu.
I can enter the bootloader, then I select the "Recovery mode" and press the power button.
After that it shows the screen with the robot, the exclamation mark and the "No command" message.
From this screen I've tried to press the Volume Up once with Power Button, but it does nothing; it just reboot.
Actually from this screen, even without doing anything, after a few second it automatically reboot without showing the Wipe/Reset menu.
Then i've tried to unlock the bootloader (in order to flash the google stock rom), but I'm not able to get it unlocked permanently:
After running "fastboot oem unlock" on the phone it actually tells the phone is unlocked, but a soon as I let it Power on or Reboot, the phone get back to the locked state.
Indeed, if I unlock the bootloader and, without rebooting it, I try to flash the google nexus 5 factory image (command "sh flash-all.sh"), I get the output I'm copying further down.
Anyone knows how to handle this issue?

Since the bootloader is relocking itself at reboot, the emmc chip is defective and the problem cannot be resolved with software. This will require a motherboard swap.

PC?
Have you tried to access the bootloader menu through pc?like cmd?
Hi siddu,
you mean from a pc instead of a mac?
what command would you run?
I am having the same problem and my phone freezes at the animation dots then reboot back to GOOGLE logo. Is it really motherboard problem? Every time I reboot the phone, it will be locked again even though I have OEM unlocked it previously. My recovery mode is the same as you where there's a dead robot with exclamation mark in a triangle. I tried pressing volume up button with power button many times but it doesn't show the menu and after a while it will automatically reboot again. Anyone please help meee!!!
If the bootloader relocks itself after a reboot, the motherboard needs to be replaced.

how to solved
Is the bootloader unlocked? Does it stay unlocked after rebooting into fastboot?
...i have the same issue, now i am looking for a working mainboard.... i think that you have emmc failure, your flash memory is dead and there is no software solution... sorry man...

no after reboot again lock
it's me EMMC chip problem ..?
Umm try flashing Twrp and then a custom rom!
Unlock ur bootloader 1st then flash twrp...
If the bootloader locks itself when the phone is rebooted, the emmc is damaged or defective.
Trying to flash stock, because of the boot loop.
