Flex cable replacement went wrong - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
My phone’s screen was flickering. So, I watched many tutorials online and bought a flex cable from Ebay.
I followed the tutorials and replaced my Flex Cable. Now, my phone shuts down immediately at "Android is starting. Optimizing Apps" without warning. The screen’s light just disappeared.
1. I thought it might be because of empty battery. So, I charged the battery over night. Then, turned on and offed a few times. Same problem.
2. I thought it was software problem. So, I reinstalled Android 6.0 stock firmware from Google site. Same problem.
3. I thought it might be because of incompatible hardware (my phone’s variant is D821, but I replaced with the flex cable which says D820). So, I replaced with my old cable. Same problem.
4. The phone works very well in Recovery Mode. More specifically, it can run Clock Work Mode like a charm. No shutting down, no screen flickering, nothing.
I really hope someone here have solutions for this problem? Now, I’m not even sure whether it’s hardware problem or Software problem.
Appreciate you guys help.

i *may be* wrong but im betting its the battery, i had my n4 do the same thing(shutdown when on high cpu/gpu demand), checked the logs, the battery voltage would suddenly drop from 4v to 1v, replaced and it went all well
you could try to install a 4.4 rom with no gapps, since its boot would take way less time / cpu demand to see if you can get further

Does the phone turn off if you boot it while connected to a charger?

Thanks so much. I installed 4.4 stock firmware. It worked!!! Phone can turn on now.
But, the screen is still flickering and battery is at 0%. If i unplugged the cable, the phone dies immediately.
By the way, how did you check the logs?

U can use adb to check logs:
1) Shut down your phone
2) open a CMD window in the folder with the adb drivers
3) type "adb logcat"
4)connect the phone and boot it
5) u should have in the driver's folder a new text file, that is your log of the boot

adb pull /dev/last_kmsg once the phone had rebooted, opened with notepad++ and checked the reboot reason

Thanks a lot, Guys.
I gave up and bought a new Nexus 5X.

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 - Slim Bean 4.1.1. charging problem:

Hello guys.
I installed Slim Bean 4.1.1 version(3.0.31 Semaphore) few months ago(from this THREAD) on my Galaxy S I9000, and everything worked really well, until last week.
First problem- my speakerphone started to automaticly turn on on every phone call, and my screen sometimes used to rotate randomly after I turn display on. I couldn't fix this, but I think somehow my phone turned on the dock mode, but I didn't know how to switch it off. I also couldn't connect my phone with computer, when I connected it, it just charged battery. And this lasted about for a week, until today. Today everything came back to normal, speakerphone wasn't activated on calls, and I think screen stopped rotating when screen was off, but when I wanted to charge my batter, the phone didn't show any signs of charging, like I didn't put charger in. I'm left with 4% of the battery, I tried to charge it through pc cable, but It didn't work either.
So, is there a solution, can anyone help me?
I forgot to mention, I never updated Slimbean, it's still on 4.1.1. version.
Thank you in advance, and sorry for my bad english.
Could be a bad battery. Try using the phone on A/C power, with no battery installed, & see if you get the same weird behavior.

You mean connected to charger, without battery at all?
It won't turn on like that at all. I never knew that was even possible tbf.
Maybe some devices won't, but AFAIK, most devices should power on & be functional, which doesn't help diagnose your problem.
Now it's working, I fixed it somehow, I pulled battery out couple of times, and did couple of restarts, so it's finally charging. And now it's back to old problems where my speakerphone turns on automaticaly on every phone call.
I get the feeling that the problem's gonna come back. 1st priority should be to charge the battery fully.
I did that last night. What's next? :laugh:
I'm guessing it's either a bad motherboard, or a bad battery. Be prepared for the worst.

Battery is working well(at the moment), so I don't see how could damaged baterry affect software problems such as automaticaly turning on the speakerphone, and not being able to connect phone with PC.
You'd be surprised what abnormal voltage levels can do to electronic devices.

Okay, I'll probably change it in few days.
Now, I have other problem.. I wanted to install Slim Bean 2.7, but when I enter recovery mode, do full wipe, installation aborts around 26% saying, "E: Error in /sdcard/Slim-i9000-2.7.0-OFFICIAL.zip (status 0) ", and above "installation aborted".
You sure that ROM was intended for your device? Sounds like the difference between update-script and updater-script. Different devices use different methods to flash ROMs.

New battery, phone doesn't boot

Hi all,
My Nexus 5's battery was draining extremely fast and a factory reset / clean rom flash didn't help. So I decided to get a new battery. After installing the battery I found out the phone didn't boot. I opened up the phone again to double check all connectors I touched were in place and I even reconnected them just to be sure. My phone still didn't turn on so I hooked it up with my *original* charger and USB-cable. All I see is the charging screen (battery with lightning icon) and a few seconds later my phone turns off, only to repeat this cycle. I'm able to boot into the bootloader, the phone stays on but immediately turns off when I pull the charger. When trying a normal boot I see the Google logo and a few seconds later the phone turns off and falls back in its charging-screen-cycle.
I looked up some troubleshooting on the Google site (https://support.google.com/nexus/troubleshooter/3337561?hl=en#ts=3337943) but that didn't fix my problem either. What should I do?
The battery I ordered is an original LG TL-B9 battery.
Thanks in advance!
Are you sure the battery isn't shot or some hardware on your device isn't working
Try re-installing the old battery so that you can identify whether it's a dud new battery or if the phone itself is dead. A real pain, I know, but best to eliminate the one changed component before wasting time looking for possibly non-existent problems in working hardware.
I reinstalled my old battery shortly after I created this thread, and my phone worked again. There was a small tear in the flat cable from the connector, so I got a new battery and that one works.
Excellent!

Dead Nexus 5?

I just got this very neatly used 32GB Nexus 5 and on arrival yesterday afternoon it worked well except for the reboot problem the seller indicated. I flashed stock all over and rooted and installed ElementalX kernel for tap to wake and everything was going well, until last night when it just up and died on me. I thought maybe the battery was drained and I plugged it on the charger. It wasn't charging so I left it overnight. On waking up the phone is still dead. Doesn't charge, doesn't boot, nothing. I've opened it up, disassembled it to check all the parts, and everything looks fine. I also tested the battery by touching the tip of my tongue to the connector and I got the normal tingy feeling indicating the battery still has juice in it. I also checked the two LDIs and they are all still white; no water damage. I'm just at my wit's end now and considering getting another motherboard if that would fix it, but I just want to ask if there is any hope through any kind of fix before I commit to getting a new motherboard.
It might be that ?

Thanks for your response but my phone is not even booting up at all. It's just dead. Not booting, not charging, nothing. Thanks again.
IF you press power and the volume buttons and connect it to computer, did you have in device manager something?
If it was something like QHSUSB ... you can try that (it use and LG debuging software who reflash the nexus all at stock like in the factory) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
If not it was possible that the EMMC is dead
I hope i have help you

I tried that but nothing comes up in Device Manager at all. The computer does not detect the phone in any way at all too. I think the motherboard is dead. I ordered another working Nexus 5 with a broken screen on ebay to use and swap out the motherboard.
Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it.

Oneplus One Reboot Issue : Suggestion or Help Needed

My OPO is having a reboot issue, was on cos13, cm14.1 and ubuntu with mutirom,
Symptoms
1. the phone stays on if connected to a charger or powerbank.
and without charger it bootloops at the 1+ logo
2. in switched off state, when charger is connected the battery sometimes shows 0% and increases to 100%
3. with charger i entered cm recovery, removed the charger, the phone stayed all night long with cm recovery menu display on.
after draining the battery, i plugged back charger and the phone in switched off state did show the regular charging animation and took the usual time to full charge.
after full charge I removed the charger, tried to power on the phone boot loops at 1+ logo.
4. without charger it can enter fastboot mode.
5. with charger it can boot into os, shows charging, led lit up, but after removing charger it won't stay long, also if opening camera it turns off.
6. even on powerbank it can boot up and stay switched on. and work normally (camera etc anything)
(7. while turned off and on charger the animation shows charging but the top led isn't on.) - I don't remember it lighting up on charging while switched off
8. the night before this issue occured, my phone rebooted twice while watching youtube. and in the previous nights also I noticed battery dropping overnight.
what all I tried,
1. fastboot flashed cos, - not solved
2. flashed using Qualcomm USB port tool - not solved.
3. ran the make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 command in twrp. - not solved.
4. erased and flashed persist.img - not solved.
so what could be the problem, opo is now my secondary phone, now using op3 as primary.
The battery is at its end of its life....replace the battery and all your problem will be gone...
you're not the only one that have experiences this problem (i have seen more then 10 people having the same problem)...last year and this year there a lot of people having bootloop problem due to dying battery...factory reset, flash stock rom and etc won't help you solved this problem...
i personally have this problem last year and after i replace the battery all my problem gone...i think Oneplus made OPO batteries only lasted for 2 and a half year....

thanks for the reply i guessed that, but still wasn't sure, can it be also due to any issues to board, anyway since i've done with flashing and all i'll try an OP service center, and hope it won't costs me big.

Nope it is not issues with the motherboard but batteries...the phone can be turn on like normal when charger is connected and goes into bootloop once the charger is disconnected....its a clear sign that the battery is dying...when it connected to the charger, it may look like the battery is full but it is not...just buy a new battery and all your problem will be gone...you can try flashing lot of rom, revert to stock or whatever you do in fastboot but it ain't gonna help you...it might boot normally but within an hour it will goes back to bootloop....
like i said before i was on the same pages as you last year...all the flashing stuff didn't work until i replace the battery....there no issues with the motherboard whatsoever....my phone still work atm without any bootloop problem...
feel free to go to OP services center if you want, if they tell you it was a motherboard issues then you have been screwed by the services center by repairing something that is still in good condition and you gonna pay more then just a batteries afterwards...

I have almost exactly the same problem. The thing is I cannot find a way to enter multirom recovery even on a charger. When on a charger it tries to boot into my primary rom but gets stuck on it endlessly.
Are you sure its the battery? I mean, mine charges to 100% when plugged in and doesnt seem to have any problem with charging. Mine did it a few days ago, it went into a bootloop for no reason. I havent touched anything for a year and it happened so randomly and lost everything I had on it...

Hey dude Thanks a lot... I was facing exactly same issue for last 2 days... I bought OPO on Dec 5 th 2014... I think its battery only works 2 years...
@iPusak Gaoq™, tried to get a suitable battery online but the shipping charge killed most deals, some were even counterfeits, so finally I decided to visit an op service centre, they replaced the battery with a new one, now my OPO is good as new. thanks again.
I was just going to post, about my issue, but the forum suggested your post. I read the first post, and yes, I am facing the exact same problem. Taking a picture and the phone shuts off. Vibrating from getting a notification and restart.
And the saddest part, the phone won't boot into OS if is it not plugged to PC or AC power.
My Opo is almost two years old. Can you suggest a good battery replacement for me?

Hard to suggest which batteries is good if you planning to bought it online cause there no way you can know whether the batteries you gonna buy is original or OEM...only when you bought the batteries in a retail store then you can see whether its original or OEM and yes the differences between both batteries is noticeable...

Is my phone dead after falling on the floor, need confirmation.

Hey guys,
After two years of constant care, it happened... the drop of death.
A perfect hit on the floor, screen first, perfectly parralel to the stone floor, with the neat "Poc!" sound... :crying:
My phone now does not turns on. Does not vibrate when I plug it and the computer does not detect it.
That's a perfect brick.
I disassembled it and re-assembled, in case of there was a loose piece or cable, but without success.
Is there any chance that it's only the screen, or is it, as I suspect, the end of my beloved OPO?
Thanks for your advice.

Well well well.... small update.
The phone is finally partially alive.
I just tested to plug it without the battery in and.... I had the small vibration and OnePlus boot logo. But of course, as no battery, the screen turns black right after.
But.....
If i plug the battery in, the phone will turn on (I did not say Android booted ).
But only if:
- I plugged once without battery, then unplug
- I put the battery back in place
- Then I re-plug the USB cable
Following this, I can:
- Enter TWRP (fully functional, I can backup my rom, wipe caches, etc... and all the buttons I tested were OK, touchscreen seems fine) / (Vol down + plug)
- Within TWRP, ADB sees my phone as an unauthorized device.
But I can't:
- Enter Fastboot mode (Vol Up + plug)
- Boot the phone up:
- Even within TWRP, reboot does not work
- As long as the battery is in, if I power off the phone, it won't turn on again until I remove the battery and do the first plug trick first.
So there is hope!!
Can it be the battery?
If I am on TWRP (with both USB cable and battery plugged) and unplug the USB, the screen stays on, but becomes unresponsive and only removing the battery can turn the phone off.
Or is the phone somehow bricked on a software standpoint? And can be unbricked?
Side note, when I first plugged the phone and it turned on, on the Computer, it installed a driver called "Care Suite Emergency Connectivity"

No, just tried out without battery. I did but that's tricky. Once you remove the battery, you really need to push the power button first before plugging in the cable, seems the mother board needs to discharged in some way first.
I called a repair shop, the battery might be faulty and put the mobo in security mode... But as I can't access fastboot mode, they said it could be a part of the phone's ROM which is damaged.
Any way to use adb through TWRP to try to dump all partitions to see if any of them are damaged?

Display works perfectly fine at least under TWRP.
The problem is somewhere else, maybe on battery or ROM (not the OS)

Quick update.
There must be a problem with the mobo.
I ordered a new battery that arrived today.
With the new battery, the phone boots up Android, but after some time, it freezes completely.
If it does not freeze and if I try to power it off or reboot, it just shuts down and will never reboot unless I do the battery trick again (remove and put back in place).
SIM is recognized but I don't have network.
I did not manage to get a GPS fix.
Fastboot works, I flashed the stock LOS 13.1 image. But it did not change to the freezing behaviour, and even under fastboot, a "fastboot reboot" just powers off the phone.
That's frustrating!!!
I think it's dead for good. The only reason I see for such a strange behaviour is a shortcut somewhere on the MOBO, maybe a damaged soldering.

No, but I discussed with two of them on the phone.
Considering the price of the phone, it's not worst anymore to repair PCB if it can be.
I will go for a Oneplus 3 I think. There is an auction ending on eBay soon and it's still at 170€... And with the 5T coming out, there will be a lot of other good options in the coming weeks.
I have the Oneplus 3 now... Thanks @Mr.Ak and see you guys!!
