Nexus 5 not booting - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this morning when I used my phone it crashed, then I tried to boot up the phone but nothing showed up but when I plugged in my phone it displayed the Google logo for a few seconds then it powered off. I didn't rooted or unlocked the phone.
If I were to reset it my phone Google Authenticator codes will be wiped.
Can anyone please help me with this urgently?

Go to Fastboot Mode (Power + Volume Down), and plug your Nexus 5 to a PC, unlock your bootloader and then follow this guide (Method 2):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
PD: You can try just wiping cache on recovery but I'm not sure if it will make you Nexus 5 boot, but you can try and if it doesn't work you should try flashing stock ROM.
Greetings

I've got a similar issue. My Nexus 5 is stuck with Google logo. I have successfully flashed stock ROM (6.0.1) following the guide reported in this forum - method 2.
At the very beginning it booted successfully, but after some hours it got stuck with the google logo. I have tried several times to flash the stock ROM again successfully, but never booted again.
I don't know what the problem is.
Can some of you please help me?

Unlocking the bootloader will wipe all data and apps from the phone.
Does the phone charge when connected to a USB charger?

Just for a curiosity. Why a stock Kit Kat ROM?

I flashed a Kit Kat ROM stock, but my Nexus 5 is still stuck with Google logo.
I think there's nothing to do.. I suppose it's a hardware issue, then

Some Nexus 5 phone's develop a problem with the internal memory whereby it can boot a kit kat ROM but, with MM or LP, the screens stays at the spinning dots and doesn't progress beyond that screen.
When flashing a stock ROM, I manually flash each partition:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot

If everything else is fine, try to find a cheap N5 with a working motherboard and smashed screen. I have done this a few times. The N5 is old by cellphone standards and I got them cheap. You just have to be patient.

Usually it will boot in fastboot mode if you have a bad flash. What is the message when the phone boots up?

stickybit factory_fastboot.
I never had a bad flash. I run cm10.1, but gps was not working someone said flashing stock then reflash cm10.1
So i used that stupid RSD LITE to flahs factory, all i did was fix the xml and erase the recovery flash. It worked fine the phone booted... Then I reflashed cm10.1 which works? Is there an oem command to kill the sticky bit?
I have tha solution!

excuse me for the next font and style, but I have a lot of time reading post forums and any track that help me to resolve this, and I found!! IN French but, no matter!!
To resolve the message and constantly booting into AP Fastboot, you need (into AP FASTBOOT MODE) put this command in your PC with fastboot
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Then press power and voilá... you phone boot normally...

2: can i fastboot flash just the system.img like i flashed recovery and if that is possible hope towelroot will do the work????

nexus 5 random restarts

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue with my nexus 5. There are few days now that my phone restarts by it self. I flashed a factory image on the device, but it still continues to restart randomly. I have removed all the applications (only the pre installed are on the device), does anyone knows why is doing this?
Does android keeps a log of random crash so i can check the log and see where is the problem?
Thank you
Hi! Here's a guide on taking logs...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238
But if its doing it on a fresh install of stock firmware, you may need to consider that your power button could occasionally be sticking.

The power button is one possible solution, but i believe is not because when the phone is on the bootloader it doesn't restarts. when you will try to open it as normal mode is starting having the restart issues after a factory image installation
Well, if it does it on a "clean" install of factory firmware with no other apps installed....its hard to say its a software issue. Which leaves hardware.
Did you wipe everything except internal SD when you flashed stock??
Did you use Fastboot?? Any other method is suspect too. Don't use the toolkits, especially if you have issues.

this are the commands that i have used

2. fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. fastboot flash radio "<filename>"
4. fastboot reboot-bootloader
5. fastboot flash system "<filename>"
6. fastboot flash userdata "<filename>"
7. fastboot flash boot "<filename>"
8. fastboot flash recovery "<filename>"
9. fastboot erase cache
also i used this command fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-krt16m.zip instead of the last 5 commands
See, no erase commands. They may not always be necessary.... But to clean the closets out when you have an issue...I'd run them. At least system, userdata and cache.

I accidentally removed Bootloader on OnePlus One and softbricked it......

I ****ed up badly and I have no idea what to do. Someone.. help me? I used TWRP, I updated to CM13 and yet didn't come with GApps so I flashed the GApps with another Zip file but it kept giving me, "Set up Wizard has stopped working". How do I get bootloader back on my OnePlus one??? My boyfriend got it from hardbrick to softbrick but I need my phone to work by the 9th. Please help me.........
Wtf?! Why do you think the bootloader is gone?
Reboot back to TWRP, wipe system + data and reflash cm13 + gapps.
DO NOT REBOOT between flashing cm13 and gapps.

You never mentioned what gapps you flashed? Flash opengapps (full) and CM13 and do a full wipe (system, data and cache) and you should be fine. Don't flash Supersu if you're flashing CM13

I would strongly recommend going back to stock rom. This way you can ensure the device itself is not broken or damaged.
Since only fastboot can be entered you should download the CyanogenOS fastboot package from https://cyngn.com/support and flash it with the install script. Please note that cm-13.0-ZNH0EAS2JK-bacon-signed-fastboot-2d1a3b8dca.zip is the right pack to flash since no root comes with it.
You should download this file from https://cyngn.com/support cm-13.0-ZNH0EAS2JK-bacon-signed-fastboot-2d1a3b8dca.zip
and have Drivers installed, ADB,Fastboot (Android SDK)too.
Chromium said:
[*] Driver Installation - Download and install the Universal ADB Driver. Alternatively, use this method.

Or Just let your Windows handle this.
Android SDK - you can download SDK manager(141MB) here and let him download platformtools only or download my attached rar file (2 MB), where is platform tools that u need.
Extract CM fastboot zip to your adb,fastboot folder (mine is: .....\sdk\platform-tools ), run your phone in download (fastboot mode), ofcourse connect it to pc .
Open CMD in that folder (Shift+Right click and open new cmd window here)
Check if its connected by running this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it show some device connected, then run these commands one by one:
Code:
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash oppostanvbk static_nvbk.bin
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
U can download TWRP or some else recovery and flash it too.
After that u wont loose any internal data, so i would recommend you full wipe except internal storage and flash some new rom + gapps.

My boyfriend has tried every method possible. Even hard bricking it and then soft bricking it and then trying to recover everything. And it's just stuck on bootloop. Also.. I have tried to boot into bootloader and it only goes into fastboot mode and recovery. Nothing else. As if bootloader didn't exist at all. I'm very concerned and I'm freaking out...
Whatever he did, he did not hard brick it and then soft-bricked it afterwards.
If its hardbricked, you successfully turned it into a brick and there is no easy way to get it back.
I am 98% sure that the solution posted in post #10 works for you.
Instead of posting the same thing over and over, tell us what you tried so far and why it did not work.

There is no bootloader mode on the Oneplus One, just fastboot and recovery. You can do everything you need from those two modes. Try the instructions on post 10

What I did was flash CM13. It didn't come with CM13 GApps. I flashed that after I noticed it. I still had CM12.1 on my SD card. Or so I thought. I wiped it and found out that I didn't have CM12.1 on my SD card anymore.
I downloaded bacon toolkit because my OnePlus One was then stuck on bootloop. I hadn't done a thing to it. Didn't set up adb or anything. I couldn't. Kept getting a pop up (right after I closed it, it would pop up again. Over and over) "set up wizard has stopped working". I couldn't even open the settings without it harassing me. I restarted my phone and the pop up kept coming back up. Once I wiped the CM13, I went to look for CM12.1. When I didn't have it, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to use my phone die to bootloop for an hour.
I used the Bacom Toolkit. Downloaded ADB.exe and worked my way up. I imputed the information. 64 GB, 12.1 CM and then it went on to loading the information for the toolkit.
When it didn't recongize it, I had to keep launching the ADB.exe to get the Toolkit to read the phone. Finally about 12 minutes or so into it, I clicked on bootloop/softbrick option and it lead me to some other options. When I read carefully through them, I had clicked on these (in order)
"Wipe"
"Install from zip"
"Installed 12.1Yoga(something numbers ;-; I forgot the exact name, I'll see if I find it tomorrow)"
"Unzipped"
"Pushed"
"Full unroot"
"Lock eom"
I was stuck on CyanogenMod.
Then now follow the instructions from post #10 and everything will be fine.

Moto G3 boots into recovery every time I power on device

I have unlocked my bootloader. Every time I power on my Motorola Moto G3, it boots into the recovery screen. It isn't really a problem, it's more of an annoyance. I have to use the power / volume buttons to choose start and then it boots into the OS fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Actually it's not an issue, the command
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
makes the phone boot into bootloader mode instead of starting android. To undo this, you'll just have to type in-
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
. No need to flash the whole firmware again if this is the only problem.

Reboot the phone into bootloader mode. To do this, power off the phone, press and hold power+volume down button till it shows up.
Plug the phone into PC, open command prompt from the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are present, and type that command (only that one is needed). Disconnect the phone and try rebooting to see if it boots correctly.

If that was the case, you could never boot the phone into Android... the OP stated that he can select continue and start the device normally. It is most likely stuck in fastboot fb_mode like @Gravemind2015 stated.

Shouldn't that make the phone stay at bootlogo as the kernel and ramdisk are overwritten by TWRP code? @Uncle Waldo stated that the phone is looping into TWRP after *moto update action*. So what I am able to figure out is that this is a OTA-on-stock-rom-with-custom-recovery situation. I am a litte doubtful though as google says the phone boots into kernel from recovery (which is evident here) instead of kernel from boot partiton (source), so you may be 100% correct here too
@Uncle Waldo : If that is indeed the case (i.e moto issued an update and since rebooting the phone it's just looping into TWRP and giving an error) then I'd recommend that-
Flash stock boot.img as @acejavelin suggested
Flash stock recovery.img (as TWRP can't nstall stock ROM updates)
This is assuming that the /system partition was never modified in any way. If the update still fails in stock revovery, I'd guess that the whole system has to be restored to a non-modified state (i.e flashing the full firmware). You can try flashing all without doing the 'fastboot erase' part though, but i'd recommend you to backup your files using TWRP when you can.

If it is because of an update, you can't accept it while on TWRP... If you did, try to access the TWRP menu and if you can't boot TWRP from.fadtboot (not flash) and wipe caches... It should boot normally after that.

You believe this could be my problem as the moto boots just fine and it's only started this problem when I installed the following update.
Motorola > android security updates version 24.211.14.en.US
After this install and reboot it appears to work just fine and then shortly reboots into TWRP from here the only correcting action that stops the reboot loop is "RESTORE".
After restoring and reboot the moto is back to operating as before and at some point I get the same message to install the security updates and the dance begins anew.
If reflashing the stock boot image via fastboot could correct my problem > then I am all ears Ace, as it's been sometime since I ventured into android ville and any help in this matter thanks...

Okay in the fog of my memory I do now remember the OTA prohibition as I said it's been a piece of time.

Google Pixel Flasher Using QPST

Hello
I have a Google pixel 128 GB device but recently it got bricked after an ota update. Unfortunately my phone is not rooted or unlocked. So I could not do anything under fastboot, also adb is crashed.
So the phone is bricked. But it can be rectified using QPST is edl mode I suppose. But as of now there is no such development for qpst for Google pixel.
But there are many users they face the same issue recently.
Is there any chance of development for it?
you said bootloader ! you mean the phone can boot into bootloader mode ! after that you said edl mode ? i dont understand. please explain. i may help !
*The Phone Goes into Fastboot with no problems.
*In Fastboot Mode if i try to go to Recovery, The Phone Reboots and does not go to the Recovery But it Keeps on Rebooting.
So the Recovery Partition of the Phone might be Corrupted.
So im looking for ways to Flash the Recovery partition with QPST or any other methods.
Fastboot Doesn't Help Because the Bootloader is locked.

Download factory image, open up the .sh script as text, copy the fastboot commands about wiping and clearing userdata, cache , etc into a terminal using fastboot

I do believe I've tried this to no avail on a Verizon g-2pw4100-022-b (the "b" probably stands for "brickable").
I'm stuck in the same situation:
Power+vol down - bootloader
Bootloader to recovery - boot loop
Bootloader to barcodes - barcodes show
Edit: power on only leads to constant screen flashing unless you hold volume down for bootloader, at which point you can vol up once and power down.
Can't flash a recovery, can't flash an OTA since that requires adb sideload, which is part of recovery, and can't flash a factory image with the bootloader locked, which is only unlocked under development tools.
One thing to note is that in the bootloader screen, both "b/l" and the one below it (radio?) both say "n/a", which leads me to believe the December update from Verizon could be the cause.
Suggestions as to how to proceed are greatly appreciated.

I have a Reddit thread how to activate qpst .
You can also "adb reboot edl" if your PC can recognize your phone at least.
If not, power button and volume up(or down, I don't remember) for at least forty seconds sometimes brings it up
But then you'd need firmware to flash with qpst and I'm not sure how to go about doing that

Can you fastboot boot twrp ?
Are there any solutions to enter EDL Mode in google pixel without adb?
