Hey guys
So last night my nexus 5 restarted and got stuck on the google logo screen, and won't load past it.
When I go into the bootloader and attempt to enter recovery mode all that happens is a blank screen, with a faint backlight on.
I've tried to use nexus root toolkit and chain fire auto root, but neither of them seem to work.
With the nexus root toolkit, I tried several times using the flash stock/unroot option. It would work fine until the phone prompt titled 'unlock bootloader?' which when I chose yes would then attempt to reboot the device into bootloader mode, but all that happens is my phone will show the charging symbol. There were a few times where the bootloader would flash quickly on screen and show that it was unlocked, but then afterwards the charging symbol would show.
With Chain Fire auto root, after the phone prompt saying 'unlock bootloader' and me selecting yes, it will load the bootloader again and show that it is unlocked, after which the program gets an unknown error.
I'm a complete novice in this area so if anyone has ideas, detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated
I have a feeling its a hardware issue, but am posting just in case.
Thanks heaps for any input!

Hi,
today I woke up and my Nexus S was off. I turned it on and it just stucks while showing the google logo..
I tried pulling the battery, turning on.. still stucks!
so I tried do boot in Fastboot, ok.
Installed the SDK, the USB Drivers. The Nexus was recognized as "Android ADB Interface", ok.
Tried to list the device by "adb device", but I only said: list of devices attached. No device!
Then I tried "fastboot device". There it is! Trying "adb device" again, no device. mh.
So I tried to unlock the phone by typing "fastboot oem unlock".
I get the message on my phone, check "YES" and execute by pressing POWER, but no success. The phones stucks again. The cmd just says "...".
I spend 30min by watching on the cmd and the Nexus S, but no result.
What can I do?
Nexus S, locked Bootloader, 2.3.3, 2 days old
*push..*..
Can you get into the bootloader on the device? (Power and Volume Up)
Has it been rooted, and do you have CWM installed?
I can enter the the bootloader. Firmware is stock, unrooted!
I think the main problem is, that usb debug is not enabled in the device. Thats the reason why adb doesnt recognize it. But fastboot does ...
You can only use adb when the phone is booted up. Fastboot is for when the phone is in the bootloader.
Try going into recovery and doing a factory reset?
I don't know which phone you have, I'm on NS4G, got phone unlocked using GSM codes, so erased everything - a mess. When I got to backup using 2 finger method, there was nothing to reboot to
I went to Samsung site - found program called Samsung Simple DL for my phone, downloaded, executed and ran - back to stock. Kept it unlocked, but was back up and running.
I was paniced, so this might help
Hello everyone. I recently purchased a Nexus 5, and it's a great phone. However, today when I was trying to turn it on the phone simply wouldn't turn on. I figured out that it actually was turning on, but the screen was blank. The backlight was lit, but it was black. The bootloader is locked, and when I try to unlock it the screen goes blank again. I was trying to flash stock android on it to see if that would help, but alas it hasn't so far because I can't get the bootloader unlocked. I was using this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905, to try to unlock the bootloader. Basically, I downloaded all the stuff he said to download and followed the guide. I was able to get my CMD to say the bootloader process finished unlocking, but when I do fastboot reboot the screen stays blank and the computer doesn't pick it back up to reboot it. This is a really weird issue, and I was just wondering if anyone could possibly assist me with it. Also, sorry for the minor wall of text, but I didn't know how else to describe it.
Thanks!

Try to reflash stock rom with lg flashtool. Link in my signature. If you have D820 32GB then you can use the converted tot file. It was tested 3-4 times by others and I havent got any negative feedback about it.
Hi all,
My daughter's Nexus5 went into a loop with the power-button-stuck issue. I got it out of that loop but now it just won't finish booting. I gets to the "4 color balls" animation forever and never finishes.
I can get into the bootloader and issue the "fastboot oem unlock" command and it says unlocked, but when I reboot-bootloader it gets locked again. I tried everything i could think of, including the Nexus Tool Kit (2.05) and i was able to flash TWRP but that wouldn't finish loading either. So now I'm stuck!
I wanted to keep this one stock as I wasn't handling it on a daily basis. This goes to show that USB debugging should get checked as soon as I get phones.
Anyhow, any help would be appreciated.
Try to boot in safe mode.
Press and hold volume down when its start booting until it fully starts.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Try rootme and recoveryme tools
Just lock and unlock bootloader I think after locking and unlocking again data will be wiped
Or just install twrp or cwm recovery with recoveryme tools
Hope it works
I have a Nexus 7 stuck in boot loop. It was working fine until i put in on charge left the house came back an hour later and it was powered off. I switched it vack on and now i'm in this prediciment. It wasn't unlocked or rooted but developer options were invokied and i believe USB debugging was enabled.
I have tried every ADB driver, used Google SDK, Nexus Root Toolkit and all the options bar flashing a custom ROM. Which i dom't think i can do anyway as i can't unlock the bootloader. The futherst i've got is the Unlock bootloader screen which lets me select 'Yes' but when i press the pwer button it just hangs.
I would very much appreciate some advice.
Thanks in adavance

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Can you specify which iteration of Nexus 7 are you using ?
Because there are two of them (2012/2013)
Thanks
Nexus 7 2nd Gen 2013
I am using the 2nd generation 2013
Thanks
Drew
Nexus 7 2nd gen stuck in boot loop
Further info.
I have got as far as fast boot connectivity using Nexus Tool Kit and it brings up the "Unlock Bootloader" screen. I select Yes and press the power button and it will just hang like that for hours if i leave it. Is there any way using recovery i can just wipe the entire device and apply some stock images. I'm really against a wall plus some of the other apps have suggested USB debugging isn't on. I'm not entirely sure either way but as i cannot get it to come on i cannot affect this. PLEASE help me as i need this device for so many reasons.
Thanks
Drew.
Few days ago, my Google Pixel2 suddenly reboot by itself & then stuck in screen with android logo with option "Start", "Recovery Mode", "Barcode", "Power Off". Aside from "Power Off" & "Barcode" function all function like Start/RecoveryMode doesn't work- it will eventually return to same screen with Android logo. On the screen, it was indicated :
- Device state: Locked
- "ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error"
My phone is still in OEM-locked status (before this issue occur) and i couldn't get into "RecoveryMode" to perform factory reset.
I tried using fastboot/ADB to unlock the phone, to flash with new image, to switch boot-slot from a to b.... all attempted failed with error that the phone is locked.
I did searched for different forums and tried different methods but can't find any solution to fix this problem (Seems like there were quite a number of people having same issue within these few months). The fastboot toolkit seems to recognize my phone but basically none of the command to flash the phone could work.
I suspect there was an auto-update that had cause this sudden reboot. I tried various ways to reboot but nothing works. When i plug in USB to phone on my laptop, it was not detected and when you right-click on the USB icon to eject, it shows "Eject Android"- when i eject, it shows "Android bootloader interface removed". If i check in DeviceManager on Microsoft Windows, the Pixel2 wasn't really detected.
It would be a great help if you can guide me to solve this as I really love this phone and hope i could fix this. I'd tried contacting Google.. according to them I'm eligible for RMA but I need to be in US in order to claim that. Unfortunately, that would not be an option as I'm currently located in Malaysia. Hence, was just trying to reach out for any help/guide from experts out there
Thanks a lot~

When i select "Recovery Mode" and press Power button, the screen turn black for a second and then the screen is back to the Android logo with the previous option of "Start"/"RecoveryMode"/Barcode/PowerOff.
Other post mentoned that I should see "Google" logo after selecting RecoveryMode.... I couldn't get into the Google logo at all. It is as if stuck in that AndroidSleepingLogo page
Kind of the same happened to me yesterday: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/pixel-2-bricked-t3914178. Maybe it helps you...
