Please help me fix this... (Boot problem) - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a nexus 5 as a gift for someone and wanted to do some personalizing. I made a custom boot animation, converted it through the "Boot animations" app on google play, but now it hangs on the animation. I tried connecting the device through adb but I can't get my drivers to work, says that nothing is connected. I tested the connection with MY N5 as well and I receive the same result. The reason I tried to connect it though adb was that I read you could change the boot animation through there. Any help would be appreciated... thanks guys :crying:

I'm on windows, and when in fastboot the console on my PC says that it can't detect the phone.

Go to device manager on your pc with the device connected. Do you see anything with a yellow !? If so right click on it and update the driver. Go to let me choose a driver from the pc. Find the adb composite interface driver.

Yep as u can see it's the drivers that isn't making it happen, typically why I use Linux, just dual boot some light Ubuntu distro like lxde using a USB and use the terminal, the nexus will definitely get recognized and u can save it, I'm almost 100% positive this is the easiest way unless u know how to troubleshoot the drivers in windows, or u don't want to in which case I can get Windows installed onto my PC and figure out how to get it working to help you if u really want to stick with it.

HELP!!!! my SGS 4G is Hardbricked

Help i think my dad's phone is hard bricked i can hold the power button for hours it dose nothing i pressed, held, used all combinations, swapped battery, tryed with only usb, nothing works its just dose nothing, plz help
this is what i did
1. i went here to fix download mode
HTML:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/fix-3-button-combo-download-recovery-mode-in-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000/
2. i used odin and i flashed the file then i unplugged the phone and realized it was not starting
3. i went back to the site and realized it was for the GT not the 4G
4. i searched for hours and i found nothing on how to unbrick
5.i realized it was time to ask for help, if this dose not work i will just try to return the phone and get a new one
and no i did not try the usb jig,or jtag
The best thing I can suggest outside of the jig/jtag is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333424
Best of luck to you.
@Stephen_w is probably correct.
It looks like you flashed another phone's ROM, which is always bad.
I can understand the confusion because the "Galaxy S" was listed as supported by CM7 so I bought this phone only to realize (after the fact) that this specific model was not supported.
Regardless, the more "extreme" ways of fixing your phone may be needed. I hope a more knowledgeable person will disagree, but a jtag or a soldering gun may be needed to save your phone. Good luck.
Try one of the heimdall one clicks. It's kind of a last resort thing, but it might work for you. Should be a few in the dev section.

It doesn't matter if it's in download mode. It'll still get detected. Try the one click.
The debrick method that stephen linked you to will work even if the phone is completely dead. They've revived phones that have flashed wrong roms with wrong bootloaders just like you did.

It can be, depending on the type of brick you have. I'd try it as long as I didn't have to open up my phone and modify the hardware.

If you have Linux installed I think you have a better chance of recovering your phone. The way windows handles drivers for a brick phone might not let it detect. It's more likely it'll work on Linux.
ok well im going to download virtual box and linux and see if it works then
until then thanks! =D
Try wubi with ubuntu instead. It'll let you install linux like it's a windows program. Virtualbox uses windows' driver system to pass devices from the host to the client.
ok so im downloading unbutu now , and your saying not to download virtual box
never mind i get it now, lol i feel slow, i know windows good but im not so good with linux but i understand what your saying now
There are also distributions of Linux that let you run it 'live' off of the CD without installing. I'm sure FB, myself, and others can assist you with the Linux side of the house.
Ha. I hadn't even thought of running the live cd.
What stephen is saying is that once you download and burn the ISO image for ubuntu you can leave the cd in your cd drive and reboot. Your computer should give you an option to boot from CD in the bios, or like mine, it gives you a key (mine is esc) to press when the computer turns on so that you can pick which device to boot from.
Once you're in Linux download the debricker that I linked you to, plug your phone into the USB port and run the debricker. Due to the way that Linux handles USB devices it's more likely to get detected.

Wiped System and cant install ROMs now

I just wiped my System and Factory Reset and now I lost all my ROM's, no OS is installed, and mounting through TWRP doesn't do anything, so essentially my phone is bricked.
How do I fix this? I checked online about pushing the ROM through adb, but it doesn't recognize my device so I can't do anything at all, adb sideload isn't working either, I already tried adb push and that doesn't do anything either, any help is GREATLY appreciated
I'm guessing you did a factory reset in the bootloadrr screen?

I did a factory reset and system wipe through TWRP Recovery, heck I even tried flashing a newer version of the recovery cause I heard it fixes the problem of mounting to the USB, but when I try flashing the new recovery through bootloader using fastboot, it gets stuck at "Waiting for Devices", so I can't even try that either....
I've essentially got a paperweight :/ ....
My Recovery still works, I can get into Bootloader as well, but I can't connect my device to my computer or transfer files onto it, essentially meaning I can't put a ROM onto my phone to even flash....and since I wiped System, theres no OS installed at all...meaning I also can't turn on USB debugging mode....
sigh.... :/
Strangely though, in my booloader, it shows "FASTBOOT USB", so obviously my computer DOES detect the device, but no luck so far getting a ROM into my phone...

Just tried a different cord, and every other USB port in my laptop, and it still wont do anything when I USB Mount, I'm starting to run out of ideas...
Edit: I'm going to try what was suggested in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37993317&postcount=22
Hopefully that will let me adb sideload the ROM, if it doesn't work, well, then I'm all out of ideas.

Report back if that doesn't work and I have an idea, it uses the device manager to uninatall all USB drives then plug in phone and it will reinstall them.

Well, this is really stressing me out, I'm about to just give up, I don't know what else to try....
Word of advice to everyone, NEVER wipe your System and sdcard at the same time, you will essentially have no way of getting files onto your phone anymore, and you won't have an OS, that piece of information should be stickied somewhere.... sigh...
Thanks everyone for trying to help though, if anyone has any further suggestions, or anything that could help, I would really appreciate it.... I'm about to tear my hair out...

boot to fastboot
plug phone in
do fastboot usb devices
Tell me what happens. This will help me narrow down the problem.
Don't stress. This isn't really a brick, I'm sure we can get things working again. And stress will only blind you.

Ok!
Here's what you do:
Uninstall the HTC Drivers, HTC Sync and any other software for any other phone syncing/managing.
Then reboot.
Then install the latest HTC Sync
Then try again.
Alternatively, if you have a PC with a fresh install or another OS on your system you can try, I find linux to be the easiest to get fastboot/adb working without issue personally, You can try that instead.

Softbrick? some custom rom advice please

Hello everyone,
I have done something utterly stupid with my Nexus 5, I wiped the internal storage and lost my roms, I really wasnt thinking.
I have tried looking at options like adb sideload but cant find a decent tutorial
Could I just get a micro usb to usb adapter and install a rom off that?
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction with adb sideload?
Other problems are I can't get on the android SDK because the CMD box only flashes up.
Does the adb sideload option in TWRP actually do anything if you wait for it? Its been waiting for about 1 hour now and nothings happening.
Please guys any help is appreciated

Why don't you flash the factory image using fastboot?
The Cmd box you are referring to happens because you need to navigate to that directory using Cmd and run it from there. You cannot just click it.
Thanks but I cant get the SDK to work at all. Im still looking into it but at the moment it wont work
Please somebody help me with the SDK, I dont know what else to do.
I cant open the SDK manager and I cant open it through eclipse either.
Someone else must have had this problem before
Click the link in my signature and then "adb and fastboot. What is it?"
This will help you configure adb properly. It also helps you learn commands. Like adb push.
adb sideload is the same as push but you type sideload instead.
FYI as much as people round here say it, there is no such thing as a soft brick. Its brick or not brick.

Show down and don't panic. Your device is easily fixed. Hold the power button for 20 seconds. This will shut down the phone. Then press and hold the vol down then press the power button. That'll bring your into the bootloader.

Power + volume down button brings you in the bootloader, from there go into recovery (navigate with volume buttons and select with power button)
In recovery follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200.
Or flash the factory image in the bootloader. (that should work because you need to unlock your bootloader in fastboot)
Thanks guys,
It wasnt working because water damage had interfered with the volume buttons previously.
I have a micro usb to usb adapter now.
Can i put a rom on a USB drive and install that way?

[Q]Nexus 5 doesn't connect to PC and can't download any files...

Hi, guys!
I have a problem..
My Nexus 5 doesn't connect to PC or Mac. Nor for MTP, nor for PTP. Device manager doesn't see phone. No beeps, dinglings etc. But phone is charging as normal.
And aaalso, i can't download files, can't make screenshots, Cabinet won't see anything in downloads, files etc. Tried recover from backup, tried reflash xtrasmooth from TWRP but didn't success. Same problem.. Tried different cables - no success. Tried moving cable - no luck.. Tried chmod from TWRP on /data/media/0 - didn't worked.. I've tried everything. ADB, fastboot not working..
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance. =)
If I remember correctly TWRP does provide an option to repair certain partitions. You could try that. I'm not sure if it will delete your personal data though :/
Flashing a factory image would be a second option. This will delete your files for sure though.

You don't need to copy it to your phone. It gets flashed via fastboot. Does your computer not even detect the phone in fastboot mode? Drivers installed? Do you use Windows 8?

Remove all usb drivers and try again. Drivers for adb and fastboot are here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Usually it helps.

Hahaha! Hey now, I have no problem with toolkits when used by people who actually know what they are doing, which OP seems to. They just encourage people to jump in the deep end before learning to swim, and that's what I have a problem with. But you know that
Anyways... I don't suspect OP has a driver issue, seeing as though it's also not working with his Mac. It almost seems like a permissions issue, but seeing as though OP tried chmod, then I really don't know what to say. Maybe ask @rootSU, if anybody knows how to fix it, it's him.

Try this, with your device connected to the pc go to device manager. Do you see a device with a yellow exclamation mark? If so right click and go to where it lets you choose a driver from your computer. Choose the android composite adb interface.

What if the problem is in permissions and maybe i'm doing something wrong? I have root. Tried to change them from Root Browser - no luck. Tried to make chmod from TWRP - no luck... At least, downloads and USB still not working. (BTW, music is OK and i can see photos, but can't write them)

Doesn't show up at all?
What permissions are you changing on what files/folders?
Also, see the first link of my signature, try the 15-second adb/fastboot installer, and if that doesn't work then there is a thread for diagnosing driver issues.

LG Aristo SDK fastboot issues

Okay, so I'm currently trying to unlock my bootloader using SDK platform and the commands needed to unlock my bootloader. However my computer refuses to detect my device in fastboot mode, the same goes for my LGK7, I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WINDOWS 10 RESOLUTION
My LG was undetected in fastboot in spite of every ADB driver I downloaded. I resolved this by:
1. Uninstalling all downloaded LG driver software
2. Installing LG PC SUITE!
Run the suite and hit "connect". It'll then tell you that a driver is missing and give an option to "Reinstall driver" from within itself. Once you install from the PC suite, your device will be discovered in fastboot. I have finally rooted my aristo!
Please let us know.

Hi!
Could you possibly tell me how you got the device to stay in fastboot recognition?

It should automatically remain as a recognized device.
It'll only recognize the device as a fastboot device if it is in fastboot mode in the first place.
