Will not fully boot, including Recovery

Hey everyone,
Randomly my Nexus 5 stoped booting yesterday, not progressing further than the Google boot logo. I can reach the option to load the recovery mode, but, once selected from the vol down+power menu it loads into a similar black screen.
From what I understand this is a soft-brick issue, but I'm unsure of how to reflash if I cannot access the recovery mode.
Please help

no need for recovery, you need to get back to bootloader. from there flash the factory image.

I have the same problem. I'm stuck in boot loop without a custom recovery. I did the flash-all.bat from the bootloader but it's still in boot loop. I also factory reset and wiped cache. Any other suggestions?

After flashing, boot back into fastboot and run these commands from a Windows machine:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (the userdata.img file can be extracted from the stock ROM for flashing in fastboot)
After running the 2 commands, boot back into recovery and perform a full wipe of data and cache, then reboot.

I did everything you said successfully but it's still stuck in boot loop.
Edit: I fixed my phone!
I just used this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...l-06-03-14-one-click-factory-restore-t2513937) and ran recovery_Nexus5 batch file. This will downgrade to Android version 4.4.4 though.

Hmm, but the power button works fine. I can "boot" into the google launch logo, and/or turn "on"/"off" the screen using it (black screen but illuminated by backlight).

So you never reach bootanimation? If yes it must softbrick..if you can can enter recovery just do full wipe or flash factory img via fastboot

I think your flex cable is faulty.

Phone not booting after flashing

Hello XDA, I have a huge problem. After rooting my phone according to this guide I wanted to revert it back to its factory state. After bumping into a bootloop I used the offline eRecovery solution but after that my phone does not start anymore. It is being detected by fastboot but otherwise the screen is blank and won't boot into TWRP after installing either. Does anyone have a clue how to solve this?

Yes, I placed the dload files on my external SD card and and the device doesn't boot anymore after "successfully" installing the update. It was on 100%, rebooted and the screen went blank. My phone's a MHA-L29C432B196, I used that image.

You used L29C432B196 as dload?
But it's online only so it would fail.
The only offline dload is for C636 and C00.

Try factory reset and clear cache in erecovery.

Just keep holding the volume up and power button (a few minutes) until the phone starts to power up, then let go of the power button and keep the volume up until the screen that shows reboot into recovery appears. Then you can choose factory reset, the phone should boot up. It happened to me a couple of times and I follow this procedure for the phone to boot.

question about particular stock firmware ?

so i went to this website:
https://romfirmware.com/2017/07/28/huawei-honor-6x-bln-l24/
and it has some different firmware things for the honor 6x BLN L24 model.. and one of them is a point version variant that says can be flashed through twrp?
will this work should i trust this?
edit// on the site it says the version for it is BLN-L24C567B360 however mine is BLN-L24C567B366 (5.0.1 EMUI..i think B360 is EMUI 5.0?)

Rommco05 said:
You have a newer firmware on your phone. Yes point version can be flash over twrp in some situations, same like over dload

can you explain what dload is to me? this phon is my first phone ive had that i could really do something with in the rooting community.. my other one was a galaxy grand prime with no rom support or any img files and it got bricked cause i of course had to screw with the build.prop file XD

Rommco05 said:
You must turn off the phone before installing. You need to turn it on with holding all 3 buttons ... vol + + down + power button, after that will start installation

okay... so after i extract the particular recovery image i need.. i reboot to the fastboot menu, use adb to flash over the img, like i did with twrp... and reboot into the stock recovery menu?

Rommco05 said:
Basically yes. What you need to do after?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
put the update.app file in a folder on my sd card called dload. and update from sd card?
also i got two files.. recovery.img and recovery2.img... which do i use ?

okay so i read on a thread for the honor 7 having two recovery images... one being the stupid erecovery crap and the other being normal recovery menu? and i guess im able to get both regular and twrp running together on two different partitions somehow?

Rommco05 said:
You can not have two recovery on your phone. For you, only recovery.img is important. Why do you need to replace twrp for stock recovery?

i ****ed up my phone... the good backups i had with twrp got ****ed up and are some messed up rooted version running a stock rom where the sound doesnt work at all, speakers headphone, blue tooth calls, apps, etc and camera doesnt work (front and back and camera app doesnt run) and i cant watch any videos on any app.. so i was going to restore the stock firmware

i still use adb reboot recovery to boot into the regular recovery menu ? (not erecov)

alright.. im stuck again.. i rebooted to recovery and it gave me 3 options. reboot, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition... what do i do to install the firmware??

see its almsot 4 am for me right now.. if you could just talk me through this i would be okay..

never mindd i looked at your previous reply

and i believe its stuck at 5%

alright well it just rebooted and it didnt restore the stock firmware..i still have all my apps and **** and nothing has changed

do i have to factory reset it now? or..

nothings working still . camera, sound videos, etc.. still broken.. phone still rooted.. i followed this other ugie i saw on here where you wipe all partitions and things and then do the file from dload and things, and it still stuck at 5%?

heres another question.. when i went through the firmware finder i got 3 files.. update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip, and update_full_BLN-L24_hw_usa.zip they all contain a update.app file... am i using the right one? im using the one from update.zip

now it appears to be stuck at the boot animation screen.. fml
//edt: standby... i actually havent finished the guide..

yup.. i dun ****ed up.... i cant use adb to reboot to recovery.. say null device not found..
i can go into fastboot by doing power and vol down... if i do vol up and power to try to get into recovery/twrp/whatever, it does nothing and does the normal booting process.. holding all three down just does the automatic sd card install thing that doesnt work... what do i do? i think i ****ed it up

well as far as i can tell my phone is bricked cant boot into recovery via key presses or adb.. i get device not found on adb..
fastboot works and i can flash still but i cant get into twrp or anythin i dont know why..
if i let it boot it just stays at the bootloading animation..
am i able to do factory reset from fastboot?
//edit: i did fastboot erase userdata accoring to some websites online.. no success in booting... is there anything i can do at this point?

Rommco05 said:
Disconnect the phone from the usb and switch off. Turn on and hold the power button + vol up when you see the Honor logo release power button but still hold the vol. Now you should be in recovery, perform factory reset

thank you so much for that little tip i thought i ****ed something up that was preventing it from going into recovery..
omg thank you so much it booted to the set up menu... thank you... ill report back with the status of camera and sounds and things

[Bricked] BLN-L24 Can't boot nothing

I was on Elite ROM v7 and I wanted to go back to stock with the official Honor 6X Rollback Package but failed. Now the phone stuck at boot screen. I can't boot into fastboot, no twrp, no stock recovery. 3 button dload method wont work any more. If I hold the power button long enough, the phone will reboot with two vibrations and go right back to "this device is booting" screen. I waited till the battery is depleted and tried every possible combination again, including volume down+plug in usb cable connecting to a pc, still boots into the same screen.
Here's what I have done that caused the brick.
1) while in Elite Rom v7, I power off the phone.
2) dload official intermediate package.
3) dload official 6.0. (it succeeded followed by restart and user reset.
4) the phone then stuck at the blue Honor screen.
5) I force the phone to reboot by holding the power button, the phone entered stock eRecovery. I did a factory reset. The phone still stuck upon reboot.
6) I reboot the phone to fastboot mode and unlock the bootload, after this step, the phone stuck at "this device is booting" screen and wont boot into anything else.
When looking back, I guess between 1 and 2, I should have booted into twrp and format data, which is ecryted.Since I missed this step, it caused the system hung at step 4.

I have a similar problem i thinck it has to do with the warning message i waited until battery was empty and then i got a little different screen wich allows you to enter recovery or boot the device if you get this screen booting will work.
In my case i get the broken screen only if i reboot if i shutdown i get the wirking screen. But my problem is a bir more tricky because the recovery dosent work properly it gives my the option o download stock rom and recovery but it allways failes wehn fetching package info...
The other option i get in the recovery is to shutdown or reboot nothing else
And i can't use fastboot because of the reboot problem...
Using the hardware keys dosent work too...

Follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-to-stock-emui-5-0-flashing-twrp-t3679985

Got the solution
After the battery was empty it booted into a little different screen wich i was able to boot from, then i downloaded the firmware and put it into dload folder on external sd. Next i force updated by holding [volume up] [Volume down] and [Power button]. Now i have a working recovery boot and Rom. Everything is stock and the bootloader is locked again.
I discovered this this morbign and didnt had time to answer earlyer sorry for that...
Someone asked because of the bootloader the only thing i got was this broken screen didnt react to my input, cable plugged in plugged out. Maby the warning screen comes before everything or there is not enough time for the timout or whatever... The important thing is that you can fix it that way!:laugh::victory:

Stock on TWRP loadingscreen

Hello Guys,
I have a huge Problem! I installed Twrp and CosmosOS.. after that I installed Magisk. I clicked long on the reboot button and clicked reboot recovery. It rebooted but now I am stuck in the TWRP loadingscreen and can't do anything.. I tryed to adb reboot bootloader, came back to the loadingscreen.. I also tryed to click all the combination to get somewhere but nothing worked.. Please someone help me... Im lost..

Worse case you could just flash stock images and start over. Could first try flashing twrp recovery image

What's your phone model (variant) ? Can you still access to the bootloader or the erecovery?

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
