Not sure if it's a soft or hard brick, because the darn thing does not turn on at all.
When plugged into the computer, my computer makes the sound when a new device is plugged in and then continuously makes the sound when a device is removed.
Can't turn on phone, so can't get into bootloader or recovery.
Here is what I did:
Ran trickdroid TMOUS 4.0 for about a week no problems.
Just now installed MDJ's new kernel(plus the necessary script and modules), and updated radio(yes, the US radio).
Everything went well, I disabled smokin1337's scripts, and instead enabled setcpu with fairly conservative settings (only maxed at 1.5 Ghz, a screen off profile and a battery percentage profile).
Decided to reboot to ensure changes would stick and BAM! Brick.
I am going to call warranty and get a new one soon. In the meantime, I am going to leave the phone completely off charger and when the weekend is over, try to plug it in and boot into recovery and start from scratch. If anybody has any ideas to try, let's hear them.
Also, I've rooted many many many phones before. I'm not a noob to android modding, and I'm 100% positive I didn't eff something up. I've rooted and installed trickdroid on my sister and my dad's phone too, no problems. They do not have the kernel or the radio.
Must have installed wrong radio which could be perminant brick don't take my word for it though wait for a developer

I guess so. I just checked the radio files, and they are the same name. I don't have an md5 to check it against though. Bummer

Try holding the power button for 10 seconds, you will see the capacative lights flash, let go and quickly hold vol down, while holding vol down press the power button. If that boots into the bootloader, we can bring you back.
Is adb working when pluged in?

Can not boot
I have the same problem.
My phone stop booting when the HTC logo is on display.
I ´ve flashed the mui rom and because it doesn´t works well i made a factory reset. And now i can´t boot and i can´t flash another rom because I can´t mount sdcard.

There's a guide in the dev section on how to adb push a Rom to the sdcard
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
To format the sdcard flash the stock recovery via fastboot and format the sdcard in the bootloader menu then flash a custom recovery and mount the sdcard via usb or push a zip via adb.

Thanks for the replies, folks, but let me reiterate again that I CANNOT get into boot loader. It does not power on, no splash screen, no boot up, nothing. I'm assuming the worst, that I either somehow screwed the radio flash or got a bad download of the radio or something. Seems highly unlikely to me, especially since I was able to boot and go through normal operations for a little bit before deciding to reboot. That's the way it is I suppose.
Also, to answer another user's question, the phone does not respond to adb. If anyone else has an idea, I'm willing to try anything. But to repeat, I cannot get to boot loader.

How much charge Did the phone have?

But if the computer recognizes the phone it must be turned on. What happens if you press and hold the powerbutton?

Does fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot bootloader do anything? Also if you need a real hard reset find the youtube videos that show how to replace the display and disconnect the battery.
Can u get out of a full brick ?

Okay, finally some good news. I took the phone to the t-mobile store with intention of getting it replaced. While there, the phone magically turned on, but couldn't get past the lock screen. I was a little worried he would say something because of the custom splash screen, but he didn't notice that or the bootloader screen saying "tampered". And didn't say anything when he got to the TWRP screen. I immediately grabbed it and said "I cant take it from here". Now, the phone is working, but the SD card can't be mounted. So I plugged it into my computer and reformatted the SD card. Going to try flashing now.
To answer a couple questions, the phone had about a 90% charge.
Fastboot is a no go, because the phone *did* not turn on and did not answer to adb.
long story short, I believe I had some kind of data corruption on the SD card. Not sure how/why or what fixed it. I've just gotten done adding another ROM to the SD card, and i'm going to reflash and report back. Thank you all for your help.
Any update?
I'm experiencing a similar problem. I didn't fully brick my phone. Just went into a soft brick. Flashed MIUI, but decided I wanted to go back to stock, so I tried to factory reset. Now my SD card cannot be mounted and none of the ROMs I try to flash via Fastboot are going through. I'm stuck on MIUI with no SD card mount.

Dear All,
I purchased a 32gb Nexus 5 in White from play store UK.
It was switched on for approximately 3 hours. When it was originally switched on there were some updates to install which it did fine. I was using the phone when it suddenly crashed and rebooted. At that point it was stuck on the white Google logo.
I held power button and reset it,still stuck on white Google logo.
Held power button and volume down which loads the bootloader and in red it shows "Fastboot Enabled"
If I try to select recovery it just resets and stuck on white Google logo.
I unlocked bootloader and ran the flash-all.bat to reflash the stock rom. This completes without any problem at all but for some reason the phone refuses to boot into recovery pr main system. The only thing I can get into is the bootloader with fastboot enabled. Choosing any option always results in the phone getting stuck on the Google logo.
I am unsure if this could be a hardware memory chip error or something else.
If you are able to go into stock recovery where you will get an android logo with exclamation mark... When on that screen hit the power button first then volume up. This will get you into stock recovery wipe everything or erase it's the third option I think. If you want me to refer you to a video let me know it is for nexus 7 but I followed it to fix the same exact issue as yours on mine .

Thanks I found it on xda via a Google search. I had this Monday morning when no one had their phones lol. Was loosing hopes.

Thanks I have seen this video. Unfortunately it wont go into the recovery mode i.e the android with the red triangle.
It will only go into the bootloader. Any option chosen after bootloader results in stuck at white Google logo.
I have flashed and reflashed recovery and the entire rom plenty of times.
The key question is why can it not get into recovery despite flashing all working.
I will try to record a video and upload it to youtube because I have never seen this problem on any android device I have ever used.
Have you tried flashing a custom recovery?
Better yet, boot a custom recovery?
If you get that working, you can adb sideload a ROM? And see if it'll boot.
This is one reason I like a removable battery. I have gotten out of a few hung situations by pulling the battery for a couple seconds.

You can hold the per button fish for about 15 seconds. Works just as good as a battery pull

"per button fish"??
Hi,
I got a Nexus 5 about 40 days back. The phone randomly switched off a few times. I performed a factory reset as suggested by the Google Support team and other forum posts here. Yesterday, the phone switched off. On going into the bootloader, I am able to view the different options. On selecting recovery mode, it just goes to a blank screen.
The phone is not rooted.
Please help me out.

Thanks for helping me out,
I did the steps as mentioned in the guide, but ran into a problem while unlocking the bootloader.
After entering the command, "fastboot oem unlock" the bootloader gets unlocked.
But on entering the next command, "fastboot reboot" it goes back to unlocked state.
How do I proceed?
thanks again
you said it went from unlocked to unlocked? did you mean goes back to locked?

So i have a big problem, i acidentally downloaded the wrong kernel for my Nexus 5 (acidenttly got the nexus 4 versionb of Hells-core instead of the N5 version.) and flashed it, Now my phone wont boot nor can i access recovery or the bootloader. BUT when i plug it into my computer it tries to install drivers but fails because it cant find them, So im pretty sure its not a paper weight. Im running windows xp and was using carbon. If ANYONE can help please let me know.

i managed to get it into recovery as well as fastboot. but now when i try to do my recovery backup it causes the same error i was having i.e it would be detected by my laptop but i cant see anything. i may have to do a complete factory restore and see what happenes. Its kinda sad my GF with really NO android experience helped me get it into bootloader WHICH for anyone that has an issue similar to mine where your PC detects your device but you cant see anything on the screen hold down both up and down + power to get into bootloader. if it doesnt work at first hold down down + power (while its still connected to your pc so you can hear it feject) as soon as you hear the eject noise press and up down+up+power and you will be in bootloader
This guy had the same problem

He dd'd his messed up partition back. I guess it's the bootloader that was overwritten but you can dd the secondary bootloader to the primary bootloader partition and it'd fix it hopefully.

Hello everyone!
My phone got stucked on boot animation when in just rebooted my phone (i really didn't do anything).
I already have tried (A): Flashing a custom recovery and then a rom from there; and (B) a Factory Image with the procedure 1 and 2 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I tried to flash KitKat and Lollipop images with both methods and all the roms do the same (Stuck on Boot Animation: Flying dots). Nothing seems to work. I'm really stuck on it. :crying:
My phone is a Nexus 5 Hammerhead D820(H) Baseband M897A-2.0.50.2.25
PD: The power buttons is OK
Edit: When i was writing this, i 'magically' solved it.
1. With my Phone plugged into the pc in Fastboot mode, i made a 'Factory reset'
with the next adb commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
2. Then i flashed the Kitkat image.
3. It Works!
Hope it would be useful
Is this something that a non rooted nexus 5 can do?
