If you format your system then the OS would also have gotten erased as well. Normally, if you opt to reboot after doing such a wipe, you'd get a notification advising you that no OS was installed.
Try flashing your stock ROM.

If you can still boot to TWRP, flash a ROM.

The device only turns only when it is plugged
i cannot access the device via adb.When i switch the phone there is only a coloured stripe appears.
The device turn on only when it is plugged.
i cannot also access twrp.

Can you access the phone as a removable drive if you're booted into TWRP? I did that exact thing once and that's what saved me.

While the phone is off, hold volume up, volume down, & power, that should start the bootloader. Use volume buttons to change selection to Recovery Mode, and press power button.
All you had to do was search google.

[Q] stock 19020a stuck in bootloop

Hey everyone!
So I run a stock 4.1.2 nexus s, locked bootloader, not rooted. Out of nowhere earlier my phone started to reboot itself. It would load into the OS, but then it would reboot, and it keeps repeating itself..
Any ideas?

You can hard reset but this will erase your stuff. This works if you're not rooted/don't have a custom recovery.
From being powered down, you hold VOL + then power. This will bring you to the fastboot menu. With the volume keys, you select recovery.
Once in recovery with the exclamation mark andy, you hold VOL + and then power and you wait until it reboots. Might be VOL - at this step though, I cannot recall.
Thanks, I have got to that point, but I am hesitant to do it. There is no way to access the sdcard while the phone is in recovery mode??

There is no way unless you have a custom recovery that supports that feature. Stock recovery doesn't have that feature.

[Q] Cannot power down HTC One S! Help!

Ok so I think I may have accidentally deleted something I wasn't supposed to on the TWRP recovery and when I tried to reboot the phone (the system) it gave me a prompt saying "No OS Installed" or something like that. I ignored it and continued anyway. So basically the phone rebooted but it got stuck/froze on boot (where it says HTC blah blah). It's not really a boot loop where it keeps restarting it's just there froze. Now I now you have to hold the power button for 10 seconds or so but the phone just won't reboot or power down/turn off. I also tried holding down the volume down + power and it doesn't restart to recovery either. It's just there frozen. I'm trying to get to the bootloader or recovery so I can fix this issue but I can't even power down the phone! And this phone doesn't have a removable battery so that's out of the question. What can I do other than waiting for the phone's battery to die out?
Can you hold down the power button until the keys start flashing? It should boot if you press until the lights go out.
Can you reach it from adb or fastboot?

No. Like I said I already tried holding down the power button for several seconds up to a minutes multiple times. The keys don't flash at all. It doesn't reboot or turn off. It's just stuck there. I tried holding down the volume and power button as well. Nothing. It's just stuck there on that boot screen (HTC quietly brilliant). I can't reach the device on abd (it says offline) and I can't reach it on fastboot either
Hm. What exactly did you delete?
You could try to leave it on until battery low. Then charge, power on into bootloader.

I basically wiped the entire internal sd card. I also wiped the System.
Ok so now the phone is dead but I can't seem to boot into bootloader/recovery. I keep pressing volume down + power multiple times but it just doesn't work. And if I do turn it on normally it'll go back to the boot screen and stay frozen until the battery dies.
Ok so I managed to "/adb reboot-bootloader" from my computer. I noticed that there's no recovery option on the bootloader anymore. What the hell? Did I delete the recovery by mistake? How can I flash the recovery again?
Strange... Get a recovery and
fastboot flash recovery FILENAME
Good luck!

Ok so I actually did manage to get into TWRP Recovery (v2.3.3.0). But it says "No OS Installed" what does it mean by that? How can I fix it?
Actually when I try to do anything like wipe something or ADB Sideload i keep getting these errors:
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E: Unable to mount storage.
It seems that it can't locate my sd card. Although when I press mount I can see all the files on my computer but I can't see it on the TWRP's File Manager or when I try to install a .zip
Try latest twrp and see if it lets you wipe the sdcard.

I flashed the latest verison of TWRP and it's still doing the same thing. Same errors
Fixed
Mods you can close this thread. I found out what the problem was. It was the way the SD Card was formatted. I have a MacBook so I guess when I was formatting the SD Card on my Mac it wouldn't format it right or to a way recognizable to TWRP
The solution? I just wiped the internal SD Card on TWRP Recovery instead. That fix all the "E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'" issue.

Yeah I didn't know what you meant exactly. I thought you meant to wipe the sd card any way like through the computer (since my Mac read the sd card, oddly). But I guess you meant to do it inside of TRWP. Thanks

stuck in loop, possibly a different kind of loop

I was trying to fix my girlfriends nexus 5 that was doing the restart loop after an update. Everything seemed to go fine. Unlocked the bootloader, etc. Flashed the newest rom (6.0.1 (MMB29S) ce1d670f61061c3902f3997510ea55d7 6bfcdfa4f4840898e5d76fa044f5e6a0f71343bf) and then something obviously went wrong (not quite sure, dont think i touched anything) and it's now stuck in a different kind of loop that only loops while it's plugged in. Ive uploaded a video to youtube, but since im a new user i cant actually link it properly yet. Hopefully this wont annoy any mods, I promise it's not spam. youtube . be / yNSoiTPnGZw
Is there any way to get it to stay on for more than a couple seconds to retry the flashing?
Any help is appreciated.

First i followed the guide here on xda to unlock the bootloader(guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905), installed twrp, which went fine. Then i realized that i couldnt (or didnt realize how to via command line) to copy the stock rom and install it via twrp, so then i followed this guide here on xda (tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) with the factory img (6.01 hammerhead), got to this point in the guide: ★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons. then it stalled out,turned off and now just cycles on and offf through the google logo with the lock picture or if i hold down the volume button it will go into the bootloader briefly then restart, rinse repeat.

Have u tried messing with the power button, there are a lot of issues on the nexus 5 with the power button causing loops, simply from getting stuck, try playing with the power button a little and see of that helps, it might just need to be replaced
Wait, did u flash the factory img with twrp, or did u flash it using fastboot?

in the end fastboot, since i coulndt see how i could copy the img over to install via twrp
im pretty sure the button is fine, since it was cycling from the ota update install, then was working fine unlocking the bootloader, but after the flash, it crapped the bed.
Different problem
I had a problem where the google logo keeps on booting up with a slight vibration.This started to happen when my was dropped.I initially thought that was a software issue and thought of installing new ROM's but eventually my device was not detected :crying:
So i took it to repair shop near my house and they said it would cost 2500
I did some google research and found the reason was due to the power button being stucked during the fall.I got that repaired and my device is good to go

ok, took it into a shop, got the power button fixed. It must have been on the way out because literally one minute it worked and the second it didnt. now i think ive got it narrowed down. it's saying it's unable to mount /persist. ive tried the various fixes:
e2fsck/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
and
make_ext4fs/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
but all i get is a not found error. not sure what to do from here on.
success!! i ended up stumbling on a bit how to restore the persist partition i didnt try. got a custom rom installs and everything works. thanks to everyone who tried to help!!
stuck in bootloop while flashing cataclysm rom
i tried to flash cataclysm rom in my n5..i unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery using TWRP and flash cataclysm rom following the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...s-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905...after that it was stuck in bootloop...i tried to open recovery but it wont open anymore it will only go back to loop....how can open the recovery? is it safe to flash CWM recovery?..tnx in advance..
When it was stuck in the loop, I had to hold vol up and down with the power button (wait a few secs until it was completely off) then reboot holding down + power till it opened the bootloader. if that doesnt work, try reflashing the bootloader via fastboot. I only found out i couldnt mount the persist partition by looking at the terminal window in twrp after trying to install a rom which kept it in the boot loop. I then used the cmd: make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist to rebuild it.

After flashing TWRP, use the volume and power button to select recovery. Once in TWRP, wipe cache, data, reboot.

Honor 8 Hard Bricked after Rollback

I went back to Stock Rom and first flashed the Rollback B300 and then B131.
After that Im stuck the whole time on the Honor Logo.
I tried to get into eRecovery, TWRP and Stock Recovery, nothing works, only Bootloader but I cant flash a ROM cause the 3 Button Method also dont work.
Any solutions or maybe totally dead Device?
If Before flashing rollback pakage you were on a nougat custom rom/emui 5:
-download from firmware finder page's the emui 5 firmware that you had before
- use Huawei firmware extractor to extract .IMG files
-using fastboot flash these partitions:system boot recovery recovery2, if commans are not allowed unlock your bootloader again even if it is unlocked yet, (your phone would be unbricked, using dload method flash rollback package and your emui4 firmware)
tried it, doesnt work.
nothing works, i also got red blinking light.
It is not hard bricked. You also can't flash anything else since the bootloader is locked (or you unlocked it after downgrading).
Anyways, you should be able to boot to recovery. As soon as your device sticks at Honor logo, hold down the power button to reboot. As soon as the screen goes black, immediately leave the power button and press it again in combination with the Volume Up button. Hold this combination until you hear a vibration and the Honor screen. Your device should now boot to recovery. Perform a Factory Reset and reboot the device.
Hopefully your device will now successfully boot to system.
And the red blinking light indicates that the battery is low. Nothing else.

It wont boot, I only see the bootloader warning and when I hold the Volumen Up Button, it just says "Your Device is booting now..." and after some time it reboots itself.
I tested this with stock e recovery + stock recovery and also with TWRP.
Its just the same every time.
I also got this black screen with the red thunder logo before something else happens.
And i also cant do nothing without charger, if i try to turn it on without charger, it just blinks two times red and the screen stays black.
Old problem fixed, new Problem, I cant flash or install anything cause TWRP always gives me the error.

Before doing this, try to move the data (files) from your storage and follow this:
Go to wipe and go to advanced, wipe data and storage, even if it's says error, wipe them again.
Then reboot to TWRP and see if it's fixed

To boot to twrp you have to disconnect from pc and hold vol up and power until you see the twrp logo. try few times.

I have a BKL-L09.
If I drain the battery to 0% I can acces CosmicOS now, but if I do a reboot it reboots back to this screen.. I can acces erecovery, but not the BL..
Is there an bootloader button? Like Power + Volume up, for recovery?
Try open cmd
Adb shell halt, after that pull USB from device.
This works for me to shut down the device.
Now connect phone with USB and hold vol -
Your phone starts in bootloader
Powered by View 10
I had the same Problem! I used the buttoncombination vol- & power - when the Phone boots, plug your USB cable that is plugged into your Computer in the Phone and you will boot into fastboot mode. Flash stock Images available via Firmware Finder, extract SYSTEM.IMG from UPDATE.APP. you will lose all data from your internal sd :/
Thanks for you're help
