Nexus 5 (stock) stuck on Google logo screen - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo everyone,
since yesterday my Nexus 5 (with Android 6.0.1 stock without any root) doen't won't start anymore, he just stay freezed on the Google Logo screen.
I have been trying to go on the standard recovery mode and wipe the chace partiton, but I get the error message "E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)".
Before trying a wipe data/factory reset, I would save the files from my Nexus in my computer. Sadly when I connect the Phone to the PC (Win7) the device doen't appear in the x: devices list, tought I can hear the sound of new connected device and see it on the Windows Device Manager (under Android Device->Android Bootloader Interface).
How I could save my files now? and then if I succed, should I simply do the wipe data/factory reset? or there's an alternative?

If I were you I'd take the easy way. Use Wugfreshes toolkit to back up. It will talk you though installing drivers etc and backup your data.

Sadly Wugfreshes toolkit doen't work, here's what I have done:
Started the Device with Power Button and Vol- together
then as It shows the recovery interface I connect the usb cable to my computer
the device has been detected as "Android Device->Android Bootloader Interface" in Device Manager.
I open the Wugfreshes toolkit an I select my device name and android version, the I try to create a backup.
When I do this the device reset itself and goes back to the Google Logo, that as usual is stuck. After a few minutes the toolkit gives an error message.
I'm really frustrated, I hope that someone could help me.
EDIT:
I have been trying to select on the main Rootkit page the option "Current Statuts: Soft-bricked/Bootloop", but the same problem appears again.

I have lost my patience and I tryed to full wipe...and even this doens't work!
After the reboot comes again the Bootloop.
EDIT:
I have been trying the guide to unlock the bootloader (in order to flash the a stock image), but I'm stuck again with this damn bootloop, here the post about it.

When you unlock the bootloader using fastboot commands, does the bootloader relock when you reboot into fastboot?
If the bootloader remains unlocked after rebooting into fastboot, flash the userdata.img that from a stock ROM that matches the currently installed ROM, immediately boot into recovery after flashing, and perform a factory wipe.

Here's my answer in the other thread.
We have ascertained with audit, that my Nexus 5 got problems with the Memory Chip, seems that the only solution now is contact the reseller and change the motherboard/whole phone.

[Q] failure after root and tried to recovery

Hi there I have a Nexus S with 4.04 on it, so the other day I followed the instruction online and tried to root the phone, I have phone driver installed, and able to unlock my bootloader, the LOCK STATE is UNLOCKED. and I was able to flash Clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0.
But after this step, and I tried to reboot, my phone just stuck at the google logo with the unlock sign at the bottom, and wouldn't do anything afterward. (seems like a root loop?)
I tried pulling off the batt a few times but no good. I am still able to lock and unlock bootloader through cmd.(just like in normal state)
I tried to install factory img as shown in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307. but when I type in the first line "adb reboot bootloader", it says adb devices not found.
so, any idea on how I can restore back to the factory img?
bootloader version i9020xxkl1
model GT-i9020T or if any more info is needed I will be here.....>.<
Did you correctly installed the recovery?
Hi.
First at all let me tell you that I'm not an expert. So, I understand that you should double check this.
I think that you should try to:
- If you have successfully installed the ClockworkMod recovery, you should turn on the device on recovery mode. Vol up + on pushbutton to go inside bootloader. Going down with Vol down, go to recovery and select with on pushbutton.
- Download the correct superuser app for your version. I would double check the md5sum of the file that you have downloaded on your computer.
- Mounting the usb storage of the device on your computer, add the superuser app on /sdcard.
- Umount the usb storage.
- Flash the superuser app, installing from /sdcard from your recovery menu.
- Download a custom kernel on your computer, once that you are unlocked. I'm using CyberGR, and I'm happy with it. You can see all the intallation instructions in the Nexus S development part.
- I that works, I would try to install the kernel in a clear way. For installing the CyberGR ROM, you need to wipe everything and format all. After that, you mount the device on the computer, and try the installation.
Then, if everything is ok, the device will turn on.
Again, I'm not an expert, and I don't know how you can be in contact with the developers that are posting in the developers area. I'm not responsible if your device doesn't works or get bricked.
However, I understand that all that I have described, should not put your device in a worst situation.
And is it doesn't turn on, if it doesn't do anything, then, you can use the linux tooll for bicked devices explained on the developers area.

Factory Reset not Factory Resetting

Hello,
I apologise, this may be a long post, but I do need to explain exactly where I am at otherwise I will get recycled answers that I have already googled and tried and failed.
I recently bought a 'bricked' nexus s from eBay to play with and see what I could do.
It was previously stuck on the Google logo at boot. This is what I did...
1) I was able to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power etc) and unlock the bootloader.
2) I flashed the official bootloader, radio and Jelly bean zip file (from Google) to the phone. It failed at flashing system.img
3) I flashed ICS again failed flashing system.img
4) I flashed Gingerbread, SUCCESS...the phone booted!
5) The phone booted to the lock pattern screen of the previous owner.
6) I contacted the previous owner, and asked for the pattern. He gave me a pattern...it was wrong.
7) Booted into android stock recovery and attempted to factory reset. Booted to lock pattern screen.
8) Flashed clockworkmod recovery and attempted to factory reset. Booted to lock screen.
9) Flashed twrp and attempted to factory reset. Booted to lock screen.
10) In custom recovery, mounted "SD card" to computer, manually deleted former owners stuff, which reappears after un mounting.
11) Copied across various custom roms, all fail to install.
12) Turn to xda...
I just want to clear out the phone and start again.
The model is i9020t. I'm doing everything through fastboot and adb doesn't work because I cant get into the phone to enable debugging.
If anyone has any original ideas, please help.

Thanks guys, I tried it but no such luck.
From what I gather the toolkit is basically automating the fastboot and adb commands, as the same problems ensued. Adb couldn't find the phone because there is no way to enable usb debugging, and fastboot did what it did, but userdata is left untouched.

Use the toolkit.. Boot to bootloader (NOT RECOVERY).. Tell the toolkit what version of android you are on and that you are bricked and want to flash to stock.. Change usb ports if it doesn't immediately recognize that you are connected.. It will not need to be debugged to revert to stock..
follow prompts and you are done!
Remember that you will not be rooted and won't have a custom recovery any more and will need to reflash these.. Some roms are pre-rooted..

My moto G3 is stuck on the "warning, bootloader unlocked" page, please help !

My moto G3 is stuck on the "warning, bootloader unlocked" page, please help !
I recently rooted my Motorola Moto G3 and it worked.... ish, when I opened my phone from it being turned off I was greeted with the message telling me that it was super duper dangerous to root your phone and I could damage my phone, that normally goes as it is just a mandatory thing that they have to say, I waited for a while and it didn't go, I waited for a day and it didn't go. So I let it run out of charge and tried to boot it again, this didn't work, I was still seeing the same white screen with red and black writing. I then let it run out of charge and open it in fast boot mode by pressing the power button and volume down, this did work and from there I have managed to open the team win recovery project but whenever I do anything from then, it will go back to the error page and then will never load. I have even reset the phone to factory settings. If I hold the power button it will turn off the phone but very shortly after automatically turn itself back on to this same image.... please help!
How did you end up rooting it? Have you tried flashing a factory image?
If I were you, I would try to reflash stock firmware with factory reset
@Artyb52
hi, what did you do to Root ??
check these , if you have done evrything :
1) USB debugging enabled, allow OEM unlocking Enable ( developer options )
2) install ADB and fastboot. ( in PC)
3) Unlock bootloader in Fastboot mode .. (After unlocking did you PowerOn your phone, and check ? did it ON with out any problems? )
4) Installing a recovery , by following proper commands and choosing right version ..
5) flashing SuperSU with that Recovery.
If you have done everything Right, then Do onething.. Change CustomRecovery Version ( if on TWRP ) ,
else Goto Fastboot.. press POWER OFF, so that your phone gets SHUT DOWN, then On it normally ..
i have seen a problem where REBOOT function causes Bootloops..
i tried that and it didnt work :/
@nandakis4 shame it didn't work. Do you have any other tips, I would be really grateful
@Acetyloaceton how do you do that ? sorry for sounding like such a noob, i'm new to the game

@13ones I tried flashing the TWRP image, is that different to the factory image ?
The same thing happened me when I rooted my phone. To fix it I downloaded cm 13 then placed it on internal storage and flashed it (and gapps) from twrp and it worked fine.

"Factory Reset" Doesn't reflash stock firmware, it just wipes /data /cache and internal storage.

Yes, you'd need to download it from the stock firmware page and flash the whole thing through fastboot.

@l3ones i have tried this 2 times now, and i must be doing something wrong, i dont want to hassle you but could you walk me through the exact procedure needed to do this
Try this
Using adb sideload on twrp
1. Flash supersu 2.62, then
2. Flash supersu 2.65
Command : adb sideload supersu.xx.zip
In my case, it works.

Honor 8 Can't Download Firmware, Can't Flash, Bricked? [Solved]

Hi, after trying unlock my bootloader, I couldn't get into recovery mode without "Your phone cannot be trusted" getting stuck on my screen.
I re-locked the boot loader but now when I go into recovery it says "Data Partition is corrupted please format" then it asks me to connect to a wifi network which then just shows errors everytime the password comes up.
I tried to turn on USB Debugging to ADB sideload a firmware, but I can't because the phone has been resetted; if I try to enter a wifi password the keyboard doesnt show it's just the google voice (which doesn't work) with no options. If i skip the wifi option it just goes on the google login and gets stuck on "Checking Info".
Any solutions to the problem please?
EDIT: I just re-unlocked the bootloader and now its permanently stuck on "Your device cannot be trusted, booting now" regardless of what buttons I press during startup
EDIT 2: I fixed it, it was long and complicated but I got it to work, here's how.
1. When flashing TWRP, I realized I was flashing the TWRP for EMUI 4, so I flashed TWRP for EMUI 5. (Make sure Bootloader is unlocked)
First have all the adb/fastboot drivers, for windows shift + right click the folder and click "Open Command here"
Make sure the twrp img file is in the same folder as the adb folder.
On the honor 8 phone, if it is stuck like mine, turn the phone off and then hold Volume Down + Power Button until the download mode is on the screen
Type "fastboot flash recovery (twrpfilename).img"
Once it's done, turn it off and then hold power button + volume up AND volume down at once till TWRP comes on
(Continuously hold it, if the "Your Device cannot be trusted" screen comes on release)
2. (Make sure internal storage and data are backed up externally for this)
Reset system, data, cache/dalvik, and internal storage
3. Download Update.zip and the second .zip from a website on google, search Honor 8 Manual Nougat and click the link from smartstocknews (I can't post links) but do not follow the steps from that website, and also download GAPPS from open GAPPS. Make sure ARM64 is selected and not ARM as well as 7.0
4. After wiping, mount the Honor 8 by connecting it via USB to a computer, and press "Mount" on TWRP
Upload the both update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and GAPPS ARM64 7.0 to internal or external storage
5. Exit mount and go to install, install the zips in this specific order and do not reboot in between
A) Update.zip
B) Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
C) GAPPS.zip
6. Reboot after GAPPS is done (it might show already installed, if that's the case then it's alright, reboot anyways)
Download the 70mb package for firmware downgrade and the latest marshmallow firmware from your regional huawei's website.
Extract the small package and put the .app file in a folder called dload on the SD card and insert it in your phone.
Boot by holding volume + volume - and pressing power, holding all 3 buttons until the phone vibrates.
The package will flash and afterwards you repeat the process, this time using an .app file from the full marshmallow firmware.
The 70mb package installs not matter how messed up your file system is, and makes your phone ready for the MM firmware. This process brings any brick back to life. Good luck.
I too was trying to root my FRD-L04 and apparently used the wrong TWRP because now I get...
Code:
Unable to open ' ' to wipe crypto key
Unable to wipe Data
Unable to format to remove encryption
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
and I cant get the keyboard loaded so I can log into my wifi when I do a factory reset. I really have no idea how best to attack this...my phone is bricked I can get into TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery, sideload, and fastboot (i think). I am currently downloading the stock ROM for my device and will try to sideload it.
I feel I need to fix the data issues thought before trying to load the ROM as I dont think my data partition is working at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or a step-by-step guide on how to fix my bricked phone?
I've tried all sort of things today but no matter what, I cant get a keyboard working so I guess that means I'm screwed....
EDIT - my phone doesnt have a insertable SD card so I cant fix things the way the above poster suggests.

This is truly one of the worse phones I have ever had when it comes to root and such. My frustration over what, for a unbranded unlocked phone that *should* probably SHIP with root, this phone has and is putting me through is super high.
That being said...so I flashed the new 3.1.0.0 recovery. Before doing that, I had just tried to Unbrick the phone with flashing B162 image with 3.0.3.0...so now the phone is totally frozen in the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." screen. Nothing I seem to do can get it out of this mode.
I want to install the rooted b378 boot.img file I just downloaded, but am unable to find the button commands to get the bootloader loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions in somehow trying to save the day with this damned phone?
much thanks in advance.
EDIT: So I got the phone in bootloader mode by pressing vol up/vol down/power and inserting the usb cable...i flashed the rooted boot.img and twrp 3.1.0.1 to both recovery and recovery2 and now i can get into recovery. I feel like I may actually have a chance now to fix this damn thing...
So can anyone point me in a direction where, from this point with the new recovery loaded and the modded boot image installed, where i can get this phone working?? ill use ANY ROM it dont really matter at this point...
Don't worry. It's really easy, once you know what to do, just realy easy to screw up if you don't. If your phone is a mess just roll back to android 6 using the procedure i described above. Once your phone works, update to nougat and install twrp and root following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563

I pretty much have the same issue. No keyboard showing, just the stupid voice thing, and the Bootloader is Relocked. How did you get it fully unlocked. I can't get it. I guess let me get that resolved first (the bootloader) and I can try to go from there. Please help me.
UPDATE: Never mind I fixed it. I'm not really for sure how either but I think it mainly was just persistence.
Didn't work
Hello, so earlier today I tried to install RROS newest version in hope to get magisk/unrooting my phone because I'm addicted to snapchat and I rooted my phone with SuperSU earlier but didn't know u can't login to snapchat after that. It failed idk why, (I followed instructions very clearly and searched info from internet before doing that) causing me to brick my phone so when I booted it, it only showed black screen. After couple hours not finding way to get into twrp with my circumstances I managed to flash boot, recovery and system images, I tried to reboot and see what happens, (just in case, I kinda knew I didn't had ROM installed at the time, I also was hoping RROS to boot) nothing happened expect my phone got stuck in boot screen for booting EMUI, which was not installed obviously. Again after couple hours I stumbled to your post and managed to finally get myself into TWRP, I followed again ur instructions and everything was going fine, no erros, not anything. When Gapps was finished installing, I rebooted and again it just got stuck into booting screen. I did press and hold Power button, vol+, vol- and got myself into some kind of ROM installing screen, (hard to explain I don't exactly know what is name of it) and no it wasn't Huawei erecovery screen (Power button & Vol+ and no it didn't work me either saying that "getting package info failed") so in that ROM installing screen it just was stuck at 5% installing, and now I don't know what to do. My phone got locked again and I'm stuck at booting screen.
Note:
I don't have SD Card, should I get one and install stock rom?
Sorry for being kinda unclear but I'm tired it was 7 hours ago I got my phone bricked and have surfed on the web finding for answers ever since.
Also as you might notice, yes, I'm new to modding devices etc but still I'm not totally noob. Please help ASAP.
[SOLVED] So after hour of watching netflix as depressed teen I tried to reboot my phone again just in case, got stuck in booting screen. Then I held Power Button + Vol+ and got myself into EMUI stock recovery mode, I chose wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset, after that I rebooted my phone, it was stuck in booting screen for like 2 minutes but then it actually finished booting and now my phone is again functioning and god bless locked & unrooted.

"Type password to decrypt storage" Honor 8

Hi.
Last year I tried to root my Honor 8... i failed. I've managed to unlock it but i did not root it (idk why, i just followed a tutorial but nothing happens as it should).
My phone was JUST unlocked. Not rooted. I just had this beautiful message when I boot it "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Visit blablabla......."
So I wanted to recover it... but i couldn't, using android or the huawei recovery thing.
So I decided to follow some tutorials (big mistake, i know nothing about this world). I tried to flash the stock rom...
I downloaded "Huawei Multi Tool by MT" and I "flashed stock eRecovery images from an online database" (choosing a randon version)
It worked but now, I have this message "Type password to decrypt storage" every time I boot my phone. I already tried to take out my SD card, to reset factory from the recovery (did it many times)... nothing works.
I can try every password, it says that "the password is correct but data is corrupt so you have to reset" ......................
im afraid of losing my phone right now
I had FRD-L09C432B394
Android Nougat
EMUI 5.1
If you could please help me or send me a link, because i tried several tutorials but ... none correspond to my situation, my version etc.
Thanks !!
Best thing I can think of to do off the top of my head is flash twrp and flash magisk. Then install titanium backup to backup all your apps. It is going to require you to read and learn a bit, but not doing so is what put you in this spot to begin with.
Ok but... How? I think I can't access to bootloader. I can only access to this HUAWEI recovery thing if i press power for a long a time, and if i don't, it asks the password..
Something to do with my pc with USB connected?
btw i dont need to "backup my apps"... i dont mind if i lose all my data. i want it.

Yes, holding down Volume Down while your device is connected to PC will boot it to Fastboot mode. Flash TWRP (search this forum for the link) and the inatall the same FRD-L09C432B394 firmware files (update.zip and the rest) through TWRP. Once done, reboot your device to recovery (this time it will boot to stock recovery) and perform a full factory reset.
I just had the same issue, I rebooted in recovery mode by pressing "volume up" and the built in recovery told me the partition was corrupted and asked if I wanted to format it
