Well, I was using an app called screen dimmer, and did pressed the button to dim the screen when all of a sudden it froze. It was like this for a while so I restarted it, it is able to go in fastboot, but nothing else. When i start It it hangs on the boot loader screen and can stay like that all day. if I go into recovery the screen goes black and the display is only backlit. I was going to try to to use the adb to factory reset it, but I could not get it to recognize the nexus 5 as a device. I used a bunch of different drivers. I did root my phone, and have the exposed framework but this was done a long time ago and I had no problems since. no idea how to fix this any help?!?!? Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this I'm new to this site.

You need to find a driver that works so it'll recognize the device. Once you do this, you need to flash boot.img to restore the recovery since not working. Then, redo the ROM or restore from backup if you can. Flashing a new recovery boot.img should fix the issue.

Hi, In first place, You are in the right place to get help:good:
2. ADB won't work on fastboot nor in a damaged recovery.
3. fastboot works:victory: Try to flash recovery once again (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img)
4. if 3 works, wipe system, caches. Flash the Rom you want, don't use that app anymore.

There is a chance to keep your data + storage contents. If you manage to flash and boot into recovery, in 'wipe' menu manually check-mark "cache,system"
don't mark internal "storate and data", nothing will happen to your media and apps data.

May be able to dirty flash but most likely, since you had the screen dimmed too much, you'll have to wipe data in order to override/remove the problem. You can try this way but may just send you back through this whole process if problem reoccurs. I'd just wipe the data to be safe.

No, and if you had done your homework you would know that. If the data is so important, back it up before modding.

The general idea is that your recovery is broken.
So, you need to flash a new recovery by placing a recovery.img file into your fastboot folder in the computer(recommend twrp). Like you did the first time you fladhed a recovery.
Then, turn off the phone, press volume down+ power button and it will boot into bootloader. Make sure it is on fastboot mode. After that, on the computer open cmd on the fastboot folder and and type:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img,
press enter.
It should flash a new recovery image if done correctly. Then, poweroff the phone, boot again into bootloader, choose recovery and it will reboot into recovery. Then follow. The steps of my first post.

You have a couple of options depending on how much data you can afford to lose on your phone. The least intrusive is to adb push a Rom on to your phone when you're in twrp Then flash that rom in twrp
The easier, but you'll lose all data on your phone is to flash the flash-all.bat file in fastboot

Then, it seems recovery now is good. If you have rom zip in the storage. Just wipe system and cache, flash the rom and see what happens

Your adb drivers aren't setup correctly. They're different than the fastboot ones. Try Google tool adb fastboot drivers xda.

I have the factory image from google for my nexus 5
The other day my WiFi Xoom stopped getting past the "Motorola Dual Core" screen.
I have removed the SD card.
Android recovery mode gives me the error android with the "!"
It does this plugged in or on battery.
Not rooted.
What else should I try?

Hadn't really done anything. Just normal use. No out of the ordinary installs. Turned it off. Next day I tried turning it on and it won't boot.
Did you ever resolve this ?? I was give one to repair for a child and it too is stuck on the red boot screen. The good thing is the person who sold it to them was a hacker and put TWRP on it of all things. I was floored when I tried to enter recovery and found teamwin.
but the problem is its still stuck on the boot screen, i did flash it 3-4 times with M604 M602 flashes and some other customs but nothing works, it completes flashing and wiping caches but always goes back to stuck on boot screen..
perhaps I have to unclock the bootloader or something for the flash to be succesfull ?
Just wanted to say I fixed it with these commands and firmware if anyone is interested. I tried everything else including flashing with twrp and wiping all caches and it didn't work, getting the stock firmware and doing it like this worked to clear boot screen endless stuck
download fastboot and adb and xoom drivers 6.4 (about 5mb) and the appropriate stock firmware. for me it was ZM604
at the command type
adb reboot bootloader
you may need to unplug and replug cable after it goes in fastboot mode.
fastboot devices
.. should return something "02a439cj0skjdke fastboot" to proceed.
fastboot oem unlock
.. look at your tablet and follow the instructions, for me it was down twice and up once to accept unlock conditions, then it reboots
on reboot press vol down 2 seconds after you see moto logo, it will enter fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
no need to relock after, you will see android logo and first boot pop up after 2-3 mins
I was messing around with my settings last night and quickly enabled the pattern lock without paying much attention to the lock I entered (careless, I know) and now I'm locked out of my OPO on CM13 6.0.1 Marshmallow. I'm not sure if it's just Marshmallow or not but I can't even boot into TWRP.. when I hold the custom recovery buttons with phone both on and off it wont boot into recovery. When this happened, I didn't have USB debugging enabled so I can't use ADB. The only screens that I can look at are the locked lockscreen (spent all night and day guessing patterns) and I AM able to boot into Fastboot mode via powering off the phone and holding the power + up volume button which gives me a SLIVER of hope that I may not have to lose everything due to such a stupid and careless mistake.
Making matters worse, my phone is my only internet source so I'm at the library posting this hoping I'll get the response I need (or any response) sooner rather than later. I'll do ANYTHING I possibly can to not lose my files.. please help! (I even went and bought a brand new laptop with Windows 10 on it since my XP home computer doesn't like my OPO.)
If you can get to fastboot, then you could try flashing the system.img only and see if it boots. If not, the you may have to flash the entire package, excluding userdata and recovery.
Fastboot flashing guide:

Fastboot image:
http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-13.0-ZNH0EAS2JK-bacon-signed-fastboot-2d1a3b8dca.zip
If you are able to boot into fastboot mode,then first flash a custom recovery(eg.twrp) using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then boot into recovery from fastboot mode using this command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
If you did everything right you might boot into your recovery. And from there I'm sure you can resolve your issue.

Hit Thanks If You Find My Solution Valid
Hello. I'm facing a very weird problem with my Nexus 5. I have been using a custom ROM (Dirty Unicorns) and everything was fine, until I saw that there was a 7.1 ROM for the Nexus. I decided to give it a try. I've played around with it for a couple of minutes and decided that it's not so stable, so I flashed stock image with the Nexus Root Toolkit. Everything went fine, the phone booted to OS, but when I try to watch a YouTube video for example the screen goes black and I cannot do anything. Phone's hardware buttons are working, but the touch isn't. Hard reset fixes the problem, but its back again under a medium or heavy usage. I thought that the factory img that I flashed via the Nexus Root Toolkit is corrupted somehow, so I downloaded an earlier version and flashed it via old fashion way via adb. Unfortunately the problem still persists, even appearing more frequently now. From time to time it starts and stays on boot screen, stays for a while and again goes black. I have tried also to downgrade from Marshmallow to Kitkat, unfortunately problem is still there.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
Thanks in advance!
It may be hardware problem. Check it out at some harware or phone store
How did you flash with adb? I would try wiping a few times and seeing if that helps.
Try reflashing all partitions, including the userdata.img file and perform a factory wipe before booting the rom for the first time.

I meant fastboot, not adb.
1st. I have tried to flash the Stock ROM via cmd by executing the flash-all.bat file, everything flashed correctly, no errors shown, but again black screen. I then executed thoose commands for manually flashing:
Code:
fastboot flash radio
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache
No luck again.

Done this a million times. I guess it is a hardware problem. So I'll be taking it to the hardware store in a few days.
Thank you all for your replies.
In my opinion it has been damaged display connector on the motherboard. I had the same problem, but for me I did not have to do anything to become a black screen and does not respond to anything

Could be the case, but why the display is working only in Bootloader and sometimes lights up in Recovery? It can stay all day in bootloader, but when I try to boot to OS or go to Recovery it goes black. If its a display connector problem, shouldn't it be black always, no matter that I'm in Bootloader, OS, etc.?

Pixel 2 XL is soft bricked at the moment and I can't for the life of me think of what I need to do to recover it. I unlocked my bootloader and rooted when I switched to Pie, (I saw people we're already able to use Android pay on a rooted device again and I just couldn't help myself.) I installed twrp accidentally tried to flash TWRP not realizing I needed to temporary boot it and pushing the zip over erasing the recovery I proceeded to just fastboot it and carry on with the normal procedure with my phone. after getting Magisk installed I had my phone all set up until the next time I turned it on and back off again It said I forgot my PIN which I know I didn't I think this was because a glitch with smartlock I just setup so I go to my recovery and wipe the Dalvik cache, cache, Internal storage, and data and low and behold my phone bootloops never making past the final stage before it gets to the lockscreen. I go to Fastboot screen on my phone and my mac can't list my phone as a device in adb and now I am having issues getting back into recovery which I think might be because I am on the stock kernel my Fastboot screen on my phone says Product Name - Taimen, Variant - MSM USF:SAMSUNG(64gig) DDR:SAMSUNG, Bootloader version - TM220j, Baseband version - g899800253-1805232234, my Serial number, Serure boot - Yes, Device status - Unlocked, Vart console - Disabled, HW version - rev_10
I can't get it to stop bootlooping and just turn off.

Try flashing the stock boot.img with Fastboot. That might get you out of it. Since you did all the wiping I can't say for sure. However, when you were at the point where it wouldn't take your password, that's all that needed to be done. I ran into the same thing. It's a Magisk bug. Magisk gets flashed to the boot partition so flashing the factory boot.img will fix it. TWRP also gets flashed to the boot partition so if you flashed it too, flashing a factory boot image will get rid of that too. ADB won't see the phone while it's in fastboot mode. You need to use "fastboot devices". You can download a factory image if you don't have one and extract the boot.img from it. Put it in the folder your fastboot is in, and then open a command prompt (terminal? I'm not a MAC person) from that folder and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (without the quotes). Make sure you use download the factory image that's the same as what you currently have installed on the phone.

I stopped my endless bootloop! Now it says my device is corrupt and cannot be trusted and may not work properly when I tried to start it I couldn't get past the google screen. When I plug it into charge now it doesn't automatically going into a bootloop that can only be stoped by going into the fastboot mode or running out of battery, but the the charging symbol on the screen won't go away. I might have wiped system when I was in TWRP when I couldn't boot back after the first wipe. And I accidentally tried fastbooting Telstra img first. Anyway to get past this white Google screen? Also when I trey to go to recovery now it's the android laying on it's back with a red triangle and it says no command. Should I execute the flash-all script?
Downloaded the stock img files and ran the flash all .sh and now I am back in Android ready to mess something up again I could not thank you enough for your help I am so happy right now

Glad to hear you got it working again. As for the recovery screen that say no command, that't the way it works with the stock recovery. When you see that screen, press and hold power and volume up. That will get you into recovery. If you happen to try rooting again and get stuck in a bootloop or some such thing, just flash the stock boot image.. That should get you going again.
