I had a Nexus5 that was stock, and working.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed to 31E, using the factory image.
It was OK afterwards. I used
After a week it one day randomly rebooted, and hasn't booted since.
After power on, there is Google screen for ~50sec, and then colour animation for 30+min.
THE PROBLEM - FASTBOOT FAST WRITE FAILURE
I can boot into fastboot. It says its unlocked. I can erase and flash laf, boot .. but Most of them, like recovery, cache, it says
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
Obviously, if you run the flash-all or anything similar you will get the same thing.
RECOVERY IMAGES - FAIL
It says it can't mount /cache. Mounting system, and then wiping cache spits out 20 mount errors. Factory reset/wiping - same.
fastboot boot with 4 different TWRP boots after 5min to TWRP logo screen, and shows up in adb. I found a CWM recovery that booted,
but had lots of mount errors.
I played around with parted, and make4fs, trying to recreate partitions - no dice.
they are there under block./mmcblk0 - 29 of them. I get errors that journal is outstanding when trying to e2fsck. And trying different superblock didn't work either.
SIDELOADING - FAIL
I tried sideloading from ADB. Doesn't work. Complains about mount points. 0%.
LG DOWNLOAD MODE - NOT EXIST??
I cannot boot into "LG" Download mode. 2 other LG phones boot immediately into download , so I'm 99% sure the cable or PC, or "static" is not the issue.
QDLOADER - NO EFFECT
Finally, Qualcomm USB QDLoader - I got it working in Win10 x64.
To boot device into QDLoader, it has to be booting up normally to Google screen, and you are holding all buttons for 8+ sec, until you see it in Device Manager.
I tried both the 16GB and extracted TOT flash, and they completed, but phone is the same. Still cannot flash factory image.
I tried running RAM test. Success. EMCC read and erase test are OK, but "rwrite" test fails immediately (write protected???)
So, I tried flashing the system, cache, misc, persist, modem and recovery from BoardDiag. They completed, taking 30min for system and 20min for cache.
Still fails.
QFIL - WHERE FILES?
Where do I get the files for QFIL? Is it worth even trying?
FYI, for reference, I basically gave up and bought a new phone.
This error message basically means your eMMC is "fried":
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
The failing eMMC BoardDiag test confirms it.
I dont believe so many people would have Sandisk eMMC (the one in Nexus5) which would suddenly become completely broken.
I'm quite sure some internal project engineer out there knows of some "fuse" or "write-block" that's causing this...
But, in meantime, I've decided its better to be enjoying the phones I express ordered from Hong Kong...

I am unable to mount system, data, pds, and modem. Rom installs fail. I've tried every version of TWRP for asanti_c on TWRP's website.
I've tried with CWM 6.0.1.3 Same results.
Some of the TWRP versions allowed internal storage to mount but data still would not.
I've tried RSD 5.7 with the last sprint firmware (I have the sprint Photon Q).
Device boots straight into fast boot unless I hold Vol Up.
I've read/research other forum posts, and tried to apply fixes.
History:
I unlocked Bootloader and Rooted fine when I originally got the device, I then Tried Mokee. The install of moke had some mount Errors, but I tried to boot into system anyway. It booted fine, but all my apps were still installed(couldn't mount data in TWRP). Rom worked fine as was. Then I decided I wanted to go back to stock before my trip to Canada from the States next week. Restore of my backup wouldn't work, failed to mount. Tried RSD, had to remove the 2 get_ver. and Failed on step 18/32 system.img.
Every manual fastboot command comes up with <bootloader> variable not supported.
Flashes to Recovery and Boot say they went okay, still get variable not supported tho.
System ends ok, but lots of little errors with the phrase "do not care" listed in the middle of the line. tried fastboot erase system but do not have permission. No security restriction on the platform-tools folder.
Any ideas, suggestions, fixes?
I found an updated RSD Lite (Link Here) within the XDA forums. Ran all the way through, and restored to full factory.

Hello! I installed BlissPop on my tablet before getting the new one from the callback program. This worked fine for several months, until suddenly the tablet decided not to boot.
The current situation:
The tablet boots onto the Nvidia logo, stays there for about 3 mins, then starts booting BlissPop. The boot is then stuck at the BlissPop animated loading screen. (It does not freeze the tablet or anything like that)
The tablet is not bricked (I think). I do not get the bricked error when checking on serial number. I dont remember which version of BlissPop i flashed over half a year ago.
What I have tried:
1) Flash a new custom ROM through Recovery, installing from zip through adb. I get an error while installing from zip:
- mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA at /data: Invalid argument.
- unmount of /data failed; no such volume.
- Patching system image unconditionally
Also, I cannot mount /data or /cache from CWM. Is my partition table messed up?
2) Flash to stock recovery image, through fastboot.
These steps always end up in the same way, nothing has happened during the flashing or installation. The device is still in the same state.
3) I tried installing another recovery type (now using CWM v.6.0.5.0), but I always end up with the old one.
What seems to be the common result on whatever I try, is that nothing happens. I even tried erasing all the data from the tablet, but nothing changes. Still boots into BlissPop and is stuck there. It seems like I cannot write anything to the tablet. Recovery mode (CWM) is also VERY slow, and it takes about 3 mins to get into CWM from fastboot bootloader screen.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong, or have any tips for new things to try out?
Hey guys,
I got a moto g here which has a bootloop (cyanogenmod is installed).
I tried to boot TWRP but it also doesnt boot up fully - only showing the TWRP splash screen.
So I went and got the factory image and flashed that with fastboot - but even though there were no error messages it seems that nothing actually sticked on the phone.
When I try to boot it still booting CM and when I try to enter stock recovery its still the TWRP?!
Tried flashing CWM but its still TWRP..
Any ideas on how to fix it, or is this problem "known" or smth?
Seems like this is a hardware failure - like internal memory broken.

Try using the mfastboot package, install the Motorola USB drivers if you haven't done so and flash the ROM, as per the instructions here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71328823&postcount=915
Seeing as I assume your phone responds to key presses, you can ignore the dismantling part of the instructions provided.

thanks for your reply!
unfortunately I already tried to install the stock rom with fastboot and mfastboot - every step would be processed, but in the end the phone was just in the same state - with twrp and cyanogenmod on it - both not booting,
Funny thing is that when i boot to twrp i can actually adb to the phone while it bootloops twrp - I tried placing and removing files in data but they would just disappear or reapper aka the device was still just as before.
Whats weird though is that I never get a single error message - it just takes all commands and stuff but they dont stick?! never had a phone like that. Usually the flashes fail or smth if the memory is broken,

That's massively odd - have you tried unbricking the device by forcefully bricking it then unbricking it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788
If you have tried everything, then I cannot help you any further sadly.

Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
maybe flashed TWRP can't mount /data or other partition
I've got an old Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8010) which was flashed to a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod) in 2016. I'm not sure what version because I'm unable to boot it. A few weeks ago, the tablet rebooted without reason and got stuck on the Cyanogenmod bootscreen forever. I've let it run for 24 hours without result.
So this is what I tried:
Reboot into recovery mode (TWRP 2.8.6.0) and wipe everything. Then I tried to flash a different ROM, but when the device reboots, everything seems to be reset and it tries to boot the old corrupted ROM again. I also tried a newer version of LineageOS. But for that, I need a newer TWRP version. So I download and put the newest TWRP version on it using ODIN mode. Flash Passes says ODIN, but after reboot, TWRP 2.8.6.0 is still being loaded. I tried it again without 'reboot' checked so I can reboot directly back into recovery manually, but this also, didn't worked. (by the way, ADB works when loading TWRP, FASTBOOT doesn't work when loading ODIN mode, fastboot doesn't recognize the device)
I tried to flash stockrom back onto the device, also using ODIN mode. Flash passes, no errors. Device reboots and.. nope! It still tries to load the old Cyanogenmod forever.
I'm basically stuck here. I can't update to a newer Recovery and I cant flash the rom because everytime I reboot the device, everything change i made is gone.
I noticed that when I list files in /data the folder seems to be empty.
I also tried to reformat /data to fat and back to ext4 but formatting to fat fails and formatting to ext4 succeeds, however, after a reboot, everything i did seems to be undone by the device. Even the time and date is reset.
Is there a way I can bring back my tablet back to life? Thank you!
I have pulled the recovery.log file and uploaded it to pastebin.
I can't post a link to it because I do not have made 10 posts yet.. (very anoying). So i put the adress here:

FSCK check on /data returned this:
Code:

Superblock needs_recovery flag is clear, but journal has data.
Run journal anyway<y>? y

It seems like my Note 10.1 tablet is suffering from the emmc brick bug.

Some of what you describe seems to suggest that your internal sdcard is corrupted, but, you still have TWRP booting. I would think that TWRP wouldn't boot if the internal was damaged.

I can boot twrp but anything I do in there is temporary. I can't write to the internal SD. Only read. Seems like the emmc brick bug to me. I wish there was a way to check if this is absolutely true.
Hi,
this is my first post on this forum, so please let me know if you are missing any information …
My problem: I'm experiencing a boot loop with my Nexus 5 after having changed its damaged battery. I didn't use it for a long time because of this damage. Now, it does start the boot sequence again, but only to the "circle" animation which it keeps showing indefinitely.
The circumstances:
I never tried to root the phone
USB debugging is not (and cannot be) enabled
I'm completely sure the problem is not caused by the power button (seems to be a common cause)
stock recovery is reachable
an old version of ClockWorkMod Recovery (from this thread) is bootable
three tested versions of TWRP won't boot
What I tried:
I unlocked the bootloader. With both the stock recovery and CWM, I tried to
wipe the device / the cache partition
flash a stock image (directly downloaded from the Google developer page)
flash a ResurrectionRemix image
None of these worked. It seems that the recovery systems are not able to write on or even to mount the necessary partitions. As the stock recovery apparently needs access to /cache for adb sideload, any attempt to flash anything results in an error message. CWM is able to sideload the zip file, but writing the image fails.
I furthermore tried the "factory" (not OTA) image from Google with its flash-all.sh script which tries to also update boot loader and other things via fastboot – every single one of these update attempts failed as well.
So, my question is: Does anyone of you know of a way to get my phone working again?
Many thanks in advance, best regards
