Hello guys,
so recently my Nexus 5 crashed while streaming some videos and got into a bootloop. I could access fastboot, so I tried flashing stock 4.4.2, wiping data, wiping cache. The phone tried to boot a few times and eventually managed to do so, only to start rebooting while logging with my Google account. After a few loops it managed to boot again, and for a while it seemed as everything was okay, until I tried to restart it. Now the phone is just looping and even after 10 minutes isn't able to boot successfully.
At first, most of the time the phone rebooted on the Google logo, but a few times it got to the animation, froze and then rebooted again. Now it's just the Google logo.
Do you have any suggestions what to do? The phone right now is on factory 4.4.2, unlocked, so I'm starting to be afraid it won't be fixable.
Thanks for any ideas or help.
how did you flash the stock images?
I followed this tutorial, through flash-all.

Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Problem solved
Wiping data/doing a factory reset is actually one of the steps in the tutorial, I already did that, it still doesn't work. Hell, I even tried it again now, still nothing.

How long are you Leung it boot? The first boot will take awhile, give it 5 minutes
I left it for about 10 minutes before, but to no success. It's not like it's actually doing anything, it just gets to the Google screen, turns off and tries again, over and over. I'll leave it running again, maybe it needs some really long time.

It's not boot looping if it turns off and back on again. You have something else going on. I'd re-flash the factory image again. I think something went wrong there.
Oh, sorry. I originally searched for rebooting related problems but only found bootloop, so I kinda assumed that's what it meant. Whoops.
I'll try the reflashing, then.

A boot loop is when it gets to the boot screen, the four Google colors and just hangs there without going any further.
Flashed again. The whole process goes smoothly, no problems at all. Did another factory reset as well. Phone is still rebooting.

So it tries to boot, shuts down probably vibrates and then restarts all over again? Have you tried to re-download the factory image? It could be a bad download. Also use 7-zip to extract it.
Are some phones maybe over heating, I wonder if you cooled phone off, if it could finish booting then?
I might try that, shut off phone, let it cool or help it cool with fridge in sandwich bag or something then retrying in 20 minutes or so?
That is, if you haven't had success yet.
I'm not sure how to read last sentence if successful or not?

Yes, it gets to the Google logo, turns off, vibrates and starts again. The weird thing is I actually managed to make it work before making this thread (it restarted a few times, froze and restarted on the colors and like the 10th try was successful), but after turning it off I'm not able to turn it on again. So the image should be ok. I can try it, of course.

The phone is still not working, but the temperature isn't high - it gets more heated when I'm charging it, right now it has room temperature, so that shouldn't be the problem.
are you using the flash-all.bat file?
try erasing each individually and flashing each image individually.

No, I've been just flashing them. I thought overwriting it would be enough.
Is it safe to go simply fastboot erase partition, then fastboot flash partition? Or are there some I should not be erasing?

You can erase then all. System, cache, boot, userdata, recovery. You'll flash then all too. The order doesn't matter.
So after I updated my phone's bootloader and modem today it caused my phone to stop recognizing my sim card. So I tried using odin to bring back to stock, but that did not work. And now I am stuck with a frozen startup screen and it won't let me boot back into download mode as it just restarts the screen. I am open to any suggestions. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Can you get into recovery?
Try factory reset , wipe dalvik and cache
In some cases to get into download you have to try several times.....keep trying , turn it off do the push button combo

Great mate
Thanks for letting us know
Recently my screen's digitizer broke, so I ordered a new screen and just got it today.
I replaced it and I tested it, it turned on and that, but when I try to boot it just come with the onplus logo and powered by android stuff in the bottom and that's the only thing it's showing with it just turns off and on basically rebooting
So I tested, can it go into fastboot it could so I tried flashing twrp on but didn't work keeps doing the same cannot even enter recovery just fastboot.
Anyone tried this before or, what can I do to fix it if there is a possible fix for it.
Have you tried flashing official images from fastboot? hopefully not a hardware issues
I'm having the same problem, also since today. My phone just got in a bootloop while powered on and running completely fine. Trying to boot into recovery also gets me a bootloop. Fastboot works, and when i try to flash anything it tells me it succeeds. Then when i try to power on again, still the same bootloop.
I've tried the Oneplus Recovery Tool, same thing. Everything succeeds, but I still end up with a bootloop. The logo on the fastboot page had changed, though, so I'm guessing the flash was successful, but something else is broken.
I'm actually really worried about my phone right now.

Yep, that's the one. Everything seems to work fine, all the bars are loading, and the device turns green. Unplugged the device, booted up, still a bootloop.
I tried the ColorOS guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732) too, same thing. The boot logo did turn red though.

If even that tool couldn't solve it then it's definitely a hardware issue.

Damn. Well, too bad. I'm going to try to fix my phone for a bit more, not that I think it's still fixable. Thanks!
I also think it is a hardware issue but I don't want it to be :/
It's just funny but I think I found it, its the power button because apparently the button itself got off the wire so maybe I can sort it on again.
Or maybe it could be something else but cannot seem to find it.
I maybe u try to get my friend to sort a new storage chip on if I can get I contact with him wish me luck

Just get your device checked from a local source and then replace the decayed part yourself.
AFAIK,it can be either battery or Motherboard/Logic board.

I am encountering the same problem. Out of nowhere my phone started rebooting. It reboots ok and after a minute it does it again...so it is working alright for a minute. However, my phone is completely stock Cyanogen OS...
I have tried this, but it did not work for me.

If it does work alright for a minute every time, I don't think you have the same problem as I have.
Hello, last night i received the message that my phone needed to update itself to the new firmware so i did that.
When the phone rebooted it just put me onto a black screen with the twrp logo flashing every 5 seconds, i figured out that it was because of me running an old version of twrp and i
flashed it and rebooted and everything worked great but then i tried to root my phone with supersu and the phone switched logo in the boot from the honor logo to the android logo and froze there,
i managed to fix that aswell. Now to the problem i am facing right now, the phone got similar problems again so i attempted a normal factory reset, didn't help so i tried to format data and it removed everything but i am still stuck at the infinite booting loop when i start my phone. Does anyone know how to fix this? I do not have the money to purchase a new one
I have access to adb and twrp just so you know.

When i press the volume up + down and power button it brings me to twrp, i can't manage to get into erecovery mode.
Nvm i got in. However when i get into the mode and press the recovery button it spins until it displays this message "Getting package info failed". Do i have to do it through erecovery?
I do not know another method.

Thanks for your answer! But my phone wont even give a small sight of not being dead. It won't turn on and my PC won't recognize it
I actually could make it start for a second, now my laptop is recognizing it. I'll try to fix it tomorrow

Of you can get him into download mode, it can be fixed bo worries
Good news: I could fix it.
Solution: I let the battery die, then charged it. I pressed bixby+power+volume up for 10+ seconds and it turned on for a few seconds and it turned up in my pc device list. So I could use the ADB windows program to boot it into download. Then I flashed the original ROM.
And I could even put TWRP on it with the root shell.
Thanks to everyone who helped!
I have also done the same thing and now phone is not starting. Can you help me to fix it.
