If the bootloader is unlocked, you could try erasing data, cache, or flashing a new userdata.img file to the phone in fastboot.

I never unlocked it or rooted the phone
Since the bootloader is locked, you won't be able to flash any files to the phone. You could try erasing data and cache partitions from fastboot.

Solved with nexus root toolkit

Thinking the same thing. But.. I can admit getting in a hurry and flashing the wrong image! :laugh:
I made sure that I was using the right image and it still wont go past the Google screen. Any other ideas?
edit: okay the phone can't even write the recovery to the phone through fastboot! Any other thoughts?

Long press the power button force it to reboot. As soon as the screen goes black hold down the volume down button. That will boot you into the bootloader, from there you can get to recovery. Factory reset, wipe cache.
You flashed stock recovery?
If you have stock recovery go to the bootloader like I said earlier. Choose recovery. Then you will see android laying down. Press volume up and power button at the same time. Do a factory reset.

If you flashed the whole image inclusing userdata.img it should boot usualy, never xperienced it did not personaly. So besides a wipe have no idea bro, you might try to reflash the rom again. Are you using a Toolkit?

I did this with the flashh-all.bat provided by the official image. I can't even do that anymore because it just gets stuck when writing the bootloader. Totally out of ideas right now. Is there any way I can reformat the partition through fastboot? Would that help?

Try this:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
After that flash the rom again with flash.all.batt
maybe flash each part individually (not using flashall)

hmm so in which order should i flash them in?
edit: I honestly think the flash storage failed. Ill just apply for RMA then. Do you guys know if I bought my phone in early December, will I still be eligible?

How to flash a factory image. Erasing everything in fastboot should have done the trick. Erase everything then do method 2. You have to reboot the bootloader after flashing the bootloader and again after flashing the radio. One year to RMA. .
---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------
These are the commands I would use. The name of the images for the bootloader and radio are for 4.4.2.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-1.0.25.0.23.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot
Thanks all for the help! Will try it tomorrow. Hopefully it works

I'd go one better and look to do a COMPLETE reflash - userdata and all! I'd also rename bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img to bootloader.img and radio-hammerhead-m8974a-1.0.25.0.23.img to radio.img as it means there's less to get wrong! SO, to recap:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot format cache
I'd then boot into the stock recovery and perform a factory reset to make sure everything is in order and then reboot. I've done this exact method a number of times on my Nexus 5 and it works every time

I usually do the same thing too but I left the names as a hint to verify that he had the correct images.
I almost never flash userdata and recovery unless I'm selling a device. I've also never rebooted the bootloader between every image Except after the bootloader and radio images but I agree that your method is covering all the bases!

As I hardly have any data to backup bar some custom ring tones I always reflash the userdata partition to be thorough. As for the reboots, I've just done it from habit, again just to be thorough. If it still doesn't work after that then it's goosed!
Try using the backup bootloader. Press and hold both volume buttons with the power button. That will take you into the backup bootloader.
Thanks to everyone for helping but I could not even get past writing the bootloader to the phone. I honestly think the flash storage and failed so will be RMAing. Hopefully they will accept it...
I have twrp installed, and locked the bootloader. Now when I try oem unlock, it takes me to twrp, but doesn't unlock the bootloader. My touch screen doesn't work, so I am trying to install cwm, so I can use the volume and power buttons to navigate. I was trying to erase my data in bastboot. But after erasing userdata and cache, it now bootloops. Just want device wiped. Maybe reflash stock? Any help would be great! Thanks
I am thinking of just going on stock android but i like adblock. So i will end up rooting my phone, i was wondering if there is a way to update Lollipop rooted without having to restore. I dont mind loosing my root after every update, i can always re root
thanks guys

The only things that will wipe your data:
unlocking the bootloader (which I assume you already have unlocked due to having root access)
flashing userdata.img (if you read my previous post, I left this out)
wiping the data partition in recovery
factory reset option in Android (which really just boots into recovery and wipes data from there)

Hello sorry for my bad English I speak Spanish.
I have a Nexus 5 32 GB but now it is 16GB ...
Last month I updated my smartphone to Android 5.1.0 (manually) from bootloader:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz12f.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.25.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot
When I tried to copy my music I received the "Insufficient memory storage" message :crying:. I checked the Storage menu and it says that my smartphone has only 16GB now . I don't understand what happened because I always update my smartphone from bootloader.
Do a factory reset in the stock recovery and clear cache. This is a common problem. Back up first

If factory reset does not work (didn't for me for some reason), install TWRP recovery, go to Wipe and choose Format Data. This worked for me. Of course all your data will be lost, but if you backed up, no harm done.

Ohhh!! Thanks! My phone has 32GB again! :good::good::good:.... I had root on my Nexus 5 and TWRP recovery, I did just "Format Data" from TWRP and wala! 32GB is back... I didn't try to apply factory reset from ROM because I have root.

Glad to hear that :good:
I ran into a problem today when I tried to repair my Z5 Dual, I unplugged my phone in the beginning (NOT EVEN 5 Seconds). Then my phone started showing SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED PLEASE CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO YOUR COMPUTER. I have a lot of important data in my phone which I need. I thought of just erasing the cache partition. But when I try via fastboot it says that REMOTE: COMMAND NOT ALLOWED HERE. Is there any other way to erase the cache partition? is there any other tool for erasing the cache partition alone? If the above doesn't work us there any way to recover the files in the internal storage. I have also encrypted some files using galleryvault that's why I prefer wiping cache and trying to boot up instead of flashing a new ROM with USERDATA box unchecked. Any help would really be appreciated.
Wipe it in twrp if you have it.
