I rooted my TB the other day and everything went well. I've been using it with no problems until now. I wake up this morning and it's stuck on the bootloader or fastboot screen and no option that I choose allows my phone to boot up normally. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Similar Issue
I've had the same thing happen with mine, except after multiple boot loader reboots I can eventually get the phone to boot. Eventually it will display the message "Shutting Down" The longest it's worked before rebooting is 30 minutes, but I've not allowed the VZ update to go through. Any suggestions? Thinking of trying to flash a rom.
My Nexus 5 seems to get stuck at the update screen (the standing green android with the spinning polyhedron) after flashing to stock(+unroot) with softbrick/bootloop checked. The flash completed without error. I've left it at this screen for over an hour and not only does it not progress it doesn't even get to the progress bar at the bottom.
This afternoon my (unrooted, bootlocked, stock) N5 turned itself off 3 times while on the charger. Powered back on and then would find it turned off 20 or so minutes later when I checked it again. After the third time it booted to the "Google" screen and would go no further. I tried a hard reset but it gave an error. So I plugged it into my laptop and fired up Wug's NRT, unlocked the bootloader (at which point it got stuck at the same update screen described above for around an hour). I held power till it went off, booted back into bootloader (which showed as unlocked) and performed the flash to stock(+unroot) with softbrick/bootloop checked and ended up at the update animation again. Any thoughts other than RMA?
****Edit: Finally got the phone to boot after fastboot booting twrp. Was able to to wipe the phone (after multiple attemps blocked by can not mount storage/cache/etc/etc errors). Flashed 4.4 and the phone now boots to android BUT radio is non-functional (no signal despite being in my normal coverage area), any attempt to add an APN causes a hard reboot (had to go through all the setup screens again). Additionally, the phone won't turn off, even hard power downs (holding the button for 30 secs) lead to an immediate reboot. Still RMAing but I was able to relock the bootloader.
You really shouldn't RMA a phone after messing it up yourself by using a toolkit when you didn't know what you were doing.
Flash the factory images manually. That should get your phone up and running again.

Performed a manual flash with the exact same results. There is apparently something wrong with the hardware (which may explain why it was turning itself off and then wouldn't boot past the google logo.

Yep, I would agree.
Device is a LG G3 D850, rooted, TWRP installed, stock ROM on 5.0.1
Here's the story: Yesterday I was browsing normally when the device froze up, then shut off. Wouldn't power on with the power button. I had to pull the battery and then it turned on. When the device booted back up, it was running very sluggish. Immediately noticed that the WiFi was constantly trying to turn on with no success (When entering the WiFi menu it only said "WiFi turning on"). Bluetooth would not turn on either. The battery was draining rapidly, about 20% in 30 minutes with no use. GSam Battery Monitor reported that Kernel (OS) had used 95% of the battery. I tried rebooting the phone with no success. Booted into recovery and cleared cache, no success. Couldn't find anything online besides people saying to try a different ROM/Stock rom or that they were told it was a failed motherboard. I tolerated using the phone into the night, but the battery was constantly draining and the phone temperature reported ~98 degrees even without use. The WiFi and Bluetooth never started working. Today, a few hours into the day, the phone shut off again. This time it started boot looping, going from the LG splash screen then the spinning AT&T screen, it would then hang and reboot (constantly boot looping). Battery pulls didnt help. Once or twice, the phone actually booted into the OS. After a minute it would start bootlooping again. I then booted into recovery and performed a factory reset. After the factory reset, the phone still bootlooped. I then booted into recovery and recovered to a previous nandroid backup. The phone booted up afterwards, with the WiFi actually working. After 5 minutes, the WiFi stopped working again and the phone proceeded to start bootlooping. My next attempt was to flash back to Stock ROM, using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/unroot-return-to-factory-stock-att-lg-g3-t2820827. The flash worked successfully, booting into the OS on the setup screen, but instantly started bootlooping again... The bootloop is a little different now, going from LG splash screen > Green android with blue spinning circle in his stomach > AT&T splash screen > then rebooting. I cant even get into TWRP now (When trying to boot into recovery and clicking yes on the default factory reset screen, it just reboots instead of going into TWRP) Im out of options, should I give up and buy a new device, or does somebody have any other suggestions?

Sadly that is because of a hardware issue. Been happening. A lot lately.

Alright, that's what I had read. Just seemed like a software issue so I was hoping for the best. I went ahead and ordered a new device. Im guessing a full motherboard replacement would be required to fix the device?
Recurring Issue
Hello,
The same problem happened to me a few days ago so this is trully a recurring issue.
I also tried to fix my rom by reinstalling it, then tried to install multiple new rom, and finally flashed the original stock rom. I also am stuck on the bootloop issue.
I'm going to contact LG to see if they can do anything to repaire it but my hope are very low.
I'll try to update this message if I find a solution.
Mine just started bootlooping and no wifi and today it just died. Battery pulls didnt work either no power at all. Probably going to switch to the V30 when its released.

It's probably to late but theres another method returning to stock KitKat dont know the link off hand in development forums. Sucks you couldnt try no adb methods. Still have the Phone want to sell it i need a cheap screen ?
Hello,
I bought a new device and therefore wanted to factory-resent my Nexus 5 to give it to my wife.
I did it from within Android and then it restarted and stayed in the "Erasing..." screen for quite a while, then showed the dead robot with the "!" triangle sign, then rebooted and started "Erasing..." again, with apparently no way out.
I had unlocked bootloader and TWRP, but also booting the recovery went back into "Erasing..." mode.
I then tried to boot from an external TWRP iso image with fastboot from the PC. TWRP seemed to load, then started doing a bunch of things like formatting "something" (was too quick to read) and suddenly in a matter of second it was back to the robot but now without the "Erasing..." label anymore and now it's stuck there.
No idea what happened and how to fix and now I'm somewhat scared of trying something else.
Any idea?
Never mind... Flashed ALL stock images from fastboot (just userdata and cache didn't work) and it rebooted.
No idea what the problem was.
Hi,
My Pixel 1 was acting weird so I decided to shut it off and reboot it. Upon rebooting it was stuck on the white Google splash screen. I have tried to do .\adb devices, however, my computer is unable to recognize the device. I just want to flash the factory image on the device again. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you for your help!
Also, my recovery doesn't work. If I choose recovery from the boot loader, it just gets stuck on the same white Google splash screen.
Can you check if your Charging connector and battery health is fine?
Seems like a hardware issue if you weren't trying to flash anything
I have the same issue, further more if I fastboot the twrp it's stuck on that splash screen also; @BMWPower06 did you get it sorted somehow ?
After changed the battery. It stuck with the white Google screen. Sometimes went into system,but immediately showed "shutting off" then phone turn off
