NEXUS 5 Stuck @ Boot Animation, Possible EMMC Failure? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I woke up to find my Nexus off, still plugged in, which was strange. When i tried to turn it on, the Google Logo appeared, then the 4 Dots as per Marshmallow Boot animation...only they remained there 35 mins after I attempted to put on the phone.
I figured something was up with the boot, so I left it for a while after restarting, but and it was still stuck.
Since then I've tried reloading Stock Roms, (From KitKat to Marshmallow), installing custom recovery and trying anything I could find online to try to get this to work, but sadly I haven't been able to.
If i try to Reset, I get failed messages on some partitions.
I'll attach some logs showing the messages from some of these attempts.
Can anyone assist or help diagnose?

did you try to flash the factory image?

Yup, I tried flashing Stock Roms aka Factory Images for KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow as indicated in my original post.

Did you flash the userdata.img file and immediately boot to recovery to perform a factory wipe before booting the rom for the first time?

I did, and this also produces the Fails as before.

Could be a failed emmc issue.
If erasing the cachce, userdata, and factory reset don't work, it doesn't look good for the memory chip.

I'm beginning to think this may be the case

Have you got an old nandroid that you know that works?

I had similar issue but at least I could boot into bootloader to do this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
I had the failed also then went to step 2 and did that:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\system.img
fastboot flash userdata C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\userdata.img
(Note: this command will wipe your device (including \sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)
fastboot flash boot C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\boot.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\recovery.img
*tip* Substitute lastest images by dragging and dropping them into cmd window, tip** hit arrow up on keypad to enter in last text to save a bunch of typing
It took FOREVER to boot but it did come back. BUT I have weird fc's and rando0m turn offs so I suspect new phone is coming.
I did phone the google and they connected me with LG for a repair option which will come back in max 9 days but I think even 100 bucks or whatever the cost ( they will phone with tally ) is more than the phone is worth.
Read the whole of the link I sent and Thank abaaaabbbb63 for his work

[Q] Can't flash anything via fastboot or otherwise

I flashed a modified 44s ota over a 33r ROM (stock) file to my device and lost the ability to boot. Whenever I try to flash via fastboot I get the error: "FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)"
Does anyone have a way of repairing this? Would love to start using this device again. Thanks in advance :good:

Do this at your own risk:
Go into fastboot and flash 38R. (Available at current time on cygen's site) Flash everything including userdata. Reboot and you should be at the home screen. Then when you are here ota update through settings. Not recommended to modify ota, just do it after the ota if possible. (You might have to unlock the bootloader to follow this guide)

I don't think that's going to work, he's borked his partitions. And the modified OTA wasn't technically the problem. The problem is that he flashed an OTA on top of an incorrect preceding build. It should have gone 33>38>44 but instead went 33>44. Because it was a modified OTA with a modified installer script, the safeguard that would normally stop such a mistake from happening had been disabled. Modified OTA's are perfectly fine, as long as you take them in the right sequence.

He still has access to fastboot which means he can reflash stock firmware.
Not with borked partitions.

Shouldn't it work with the Official signed 44s Fastboot Image that was released yesterday by Cyanogen?
Not if the partitions are borked. It can't flash to a partition table that doesn't exist. It's like trying to serve dinner onto thin air, it has nowhere to go.
Transmitted via Bacon
And there will be no way to repartition? Guess that something like using parted should work on nand, assumed the right partition tables are known...
It's possible, but getting it done can be tricky. I myself have zero experience in trying to repartition.

Note to self: triple check the version numbers before flashing lol
Sorry op I have no constructive feedback

@timmaaa you were correct I attempted that and it failed. I resolved my problem by flashing calkulin's stock mod 44s. I've come across another issue now. Occasionally the devices screen won't come on at all. I'll have to completely reboot the phone for it to work. Is this an issue on 44s or is there another problem under the hood?

I am running CM11 nightlies, and this issue happens to me (and also on my nexus 5 using milestone builds) ONLY when I am using the Ondemand governor. If you're using that, try changing and see what happens.
Ah yes I am using ondemand. I switched it from interactive last night. Didn't think of that thanks I'll test it.

Please make sure to report back, could be valuable info. I haven't found anyone else discussing this potential cause of the problem, but others do seem to have it.

So far it hasn't done it since I changed back to interactive.

Hello,
I need some help with a Oneplus One that is stuck on the Cyanogen boot image. I bought this for cheap thinking that I could fix it, but 3 hours later still no luck. I have access to TWRP and Fastboot, which made me hopeful, but no access to the storage on the device.
1. TWRP: I can’t mount /data, /cache/ persist (shows E:Unable to mount ‘/data’, etc). I can mount /firmware or /system.
Trying to sideload a bunch of different roms gives me this in the command prompt:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb sideload cm12.zip
loading: 'cm12.zip'* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
2. Fastboot: trying to flash individual files with fastboot gives me “remote: flash write failure”. I’ve also gotten a “partition table doesn’t exist” error.

I messed up my One by deleting stuff I should not have... it would not read the internal "sd card" memory at all... so nothing would flash to the phone. I had fastboot and TWRP working. I tried this kit and it only partially worked for me, but did get recovery going. What I did get to work is by connecting an on-the-go cable to it and put the files to flash on a flash drive. The phone will find it in TWRP if you set it up to read the OTG cable. Then flash away something that will boot up... then go from there with the ROM you want to use. Using the Caulkin's ROM mentioned earlier will get it at least running. This worked for me, and may work for you too.

That won't work in this situation, he hasn't merely deleted everything, the partition table is borked.
Thanks for the reply. I'd previously read that, but thought it didn't apply because I have fastboot and recovery. I'm trying it now, but I can't get the device to show up in Device Manager. The phone goes to the charger screen when connected and it shows up as MTP USB Device. I tried seeing if it would show up on the downloadtool.exe he mentions, but no go.

[Q&A] nexus 5 bootloop. Recovery no command.

Hi everybody. First at all i'm french, so sorry for my english.
My nexus 5 won't boot, i'm stuck at the animated bootanimation.
I've tried a wipe but in my recovery, i've got "no command" and the phone reboot automatically within 6 or 10 seconds.
The hold power then push vol + and then release power... no reaction and reboot.
So here it is, the time to flash stock but during the process, can't erase cache, and userdata. Also failed flash cache and userdata.
System boot bootloader and recovery successfuly flashed but no changes.
I've tried to flash recovery only and succes but no change still on recovery stock and no command.
So what's wrong with this phone.
Does somebody encountered this problem and solved it ? Any idea or advice please.
Thanks

then flash custom recovery{latest twrp recommended}
then flash a custom rom if the rom dosent flash then go in advance menu and mount System,data,cache,and firmware . then try flash a custom rom again!
PHONE BOOTS UP
if these steps dnt work then bad eMMC CHIP OR IT CAN BE DEAD
pranavmali, my bootloader unlocked so can i flash latest twrp without rooting my device ?
Yes u can install custom recovery without root:
Boot into bootloader and connect ur phone to PC
Then flash the recovery via fastboot (adb not supported when ur in bootloader mode)eg.
fastboot flash recovery (name on recovery).img
After that type
fasboot reboot recovery

My Phone might be bricked. Any help?

So I decided to flash the latest factory image available for the N5 today. I was running Build MOB30Y. I did it using Nexus Root Toolkit and I chose the 'No Wipe Mode', it says that it failed. Here's the exact error:

Now when I boot up my phone it goes into the black screen with 'Google' on it then it turns off for a second then back to the Google screen and then it boots into custom recover (TWRP). What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Manually flash the ROM in fastboot.

Is it possible to do that without wiping my data?
Yes, just don't flash userdata.img or wipe.
Before flashing, you might want to use twrp to back up data or copy files to your computer, then flash.

Thanks! Hopefully this works. I've never done anything with fastboot though. I'll look it up later.
I have not used kits to flash stock rom, I always do it manually to learn the process.

Is the bootloader unlocked? If yes, relock the bootloader, and reboot the phone back into download mode. If the bootloader is unlocked again, the memory chip is damaged and can be fixed with a motherboard replacement.
Have you tried flashing a stock KK ROM?

how to enter download mode ? only bootlooader lock enter ??
Download or fastboot mode is the screen where you unlock or relock the bootloader.

Barely responsive brick.

Hi.
I just bought used Nexus 5. Everything worked flawlessly until I managed to discharge the battery to 0%. When charging, the phone started looping at the "Google" screen, rebooting every ~2 seconds. (I left it like that for full duration of charging, about 2 hours). It continued rebooting after unplugging charger cable. I think i fixed it by mashing the power button few times.
Now, I'm unable to boot system, mount any of the partitions or load any images in fastboot mode...
Recovery takes few minutes to load but shows 100% battery.
Device info:
* hammerhead D821(E) 32GB
* HW Version: rev_11
* Bootloader version: HHZ20h
* Lock State - Unlocked
* Secure Boot - Enabled
* Device tampered: true
* Device Unlocked: true
* off-mode-charge: true
Issues:
* permanent boot loop when loading system (i even left it overnight to check if it eventually loads - 10h+ no luck)
* TWRP takes few minutes to load and works really slow. no partitions can be mounted. ADB shell works (i don't know any commands).
* Flashing factory image fails. fastboot uploading okay. writing fails (FAILED (remote: flash write failure))
Edit:
* I'm able to load stock recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img (.img from google factory images).
Errors:
Code:
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
Per this thread, flashing cache.img in fastboot fails:

In TWRP:
Looks like I can mount /system - it doesn't throw any errors.
Mounting MTP freezes TWRP, but doesn't throw any errors. On PC, device is visible, but no memory.
Mounting /Data freezes TWRP for few seconds and throws error (failed to mount /data (Invalid argument))
Mounting /cache freezes TWRP briefly and throws error (failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument))
Mounting /persist throws error (failed to mount /persist (Invalid argument))
"Select Storage" shows "Internal Storage (0mb)"
Is my memory chip really dead? Could it be due to hidden flaw in my phone? Could it all break by just draining battery to 0%?
Some screenshots attached:
Is my eMMC chip fried?

Saw this before. The thing is I I cannot get the device to show up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", or anything COM port-y. In fastboot it shows up like that:
Edit: I read more about it. Looks like a solution, but how to enter that mode?
Follow the directions on the guide from that link.
Okay, then you must help me. I get stuck at step 3:
Select the Com Port you see in Device manager

My device doesn't show up as a COM device.

You have to turn the device off and then press volume up + volume down + Power.
You should be looking at the device manager while pressing the buttons.
When it appears under PORTS let go the buttons.
By the way it did not fix our problem.
It didn't work for me. Nevermind, the phone is in service undergoing memory replacement.
I owe you all an update. Memory replacement didn't work. Most likely the memory controller in the processor itself is fried. Bricked.
what is to be done? you can throw it away?
I also have a nexus 5 who died today,suddenly. I was dowloading an update from google play and just freeze.
On restart, only show the google logo and stay that way. I can enter fastboot mode and tried to reflash with Wug Nexus Toolkit but without succes. It gives me the same errors like in you're post above.
What should I do? :/
Yes, in my case it's absolutely bricked. I don't think a software update would brick it in the same way though. I cannot assist you, but keep trying
Well, I managed to revive him! As i said before it was stuck on Google logo and I could only enter on fastboot mode. Recovery wasn't working. The phone had unlocked bootloader before the brick.
What I did:
1. Open Nexus Root Toolkit v 2.1.9
2. Advanced Utilities > Launch
3. Started the phone on Fastboot mode (volume down + power button) and connect to pc
4. First I tried to boot Custom Recovery temporarily and I saw it was working.
5. Fastboot Erase > checked all!
6. Closed the window
7. Flash Stock + Unroot with current status: Soft-Bricked|Bootloop
8. All finished ok! Single problem: operation wipes all user data and can't be recovered.
Hope this helps someone!
