I have a og pixel that before I did the 9.0 update it froze and is now stuck in a boot loop. Contacted Google, they we're unable to help me. So I can boot into the bootloader, but as soon as I boot recovery, or just restart it just goes into the boot loop. I can't even turn the phone off or it will go back into the boot loop. So, it is my wife's phone and she has absolutely nothing backed up. I don't care about the phone, I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can get off the pictures and text messages. I've tried all those tools on the threads and have been looking for weeks on a resolution but can't find anything. The phone is bone stock, no root or nothing. I'm hoping one of y'all can help me out!
Hi, did you try to flash a factory image while in bootloader mode?

Is the bootloader still locked? Did you ever enable USB debugging? Did she have some kind of security on it (PIN, fingerprint, etc.)?

Hello,
I have an "ex-rooted" nexus 5 that I just yesterday tried factory resetting, however, it won't do that and just stays stuck at erasing for 15-30 minutes before the broken android shows up. Now, when I say ex-rooted I mean that I have either uninstalled supersu with the supersu app, or I've tried just flashed over the old rom. Alas, I have no recovery at all, when I choose recovery from the bootloader the screen goes black and it goes back to try erasing the phone.
I would have just flashed it, but this is where my problem comes in. My phone doesn't show up on my computer at all. I have the right drivers and such, even tried different ports and cables.
Anyone have any ideas? Sorry if I'm ****ty at explaining my problem
I'll be eternally grateful for any help whatsoever
Recovery it what it goes to in order to FDR so you must have a recovery apparently. You can't boot up at ALL I am guessing?

So recently for some reason my Nexus 5 gets stuck on the booting animation. I think it was updating to 6.0.1 or something but I'm not sure, because I just woke up one day and the phone wouldn't boot, and when it finally did it just gets stuck on the boot animation. I've tried to flash stock images and etc but I need an unlocked boot loader and for some reason if the phone doesn't boot completely after unlocking the bootloader, then it gets re-locked. So now my last option is to use the stock recovery to wipe data or something but when I go to the screen with the dead android guy, no combination of buttons seem to make the recovery options show up. If anyone could help that would be great, even if it doesn't involve the stock recovery!

You only need to go back to the bootloader to unlock and then flash factory images, why do you need recovery?
If the bootloader is relocking itself after a reboot, the emmc has probably gone bad and can only be fixed with a motherboard swap.

aw that's unfortunate. thanks anyway
I had two Nexus 5 phones that would bootloop and, eventually, the bootloader would keep relocking each time I rebooted.
I bought a couple of used N5s with busted screens, swapped motherboards, and everything went back to normal. A new motherboard is way too expensive.
Hi all,
I have a Nexus 5 that I bought second hand. It powers up but is stuck in a bootloop. The Google Logo appears and it starts to load but it does not progress. I can get in to boot loader and I have tried to do a factory reset but it it still stays in the boot loop. I have tried to install the new factory software using the Nexus Root Toolkit but nothing. The Phone is also locked and I cant unlock the phone so the Nexus Root Toolkit wont allow me to try to flash the stock image? I am at the end of my knowledge base as I have tried almost all the normal methods to unbrick and fix the boot loop. The Phone can access the boot loader. When I try to unlock the phone using the Nexus Root Toolkit, it unlocks it but does not write the data and it becomes unresponsive! I have no idea if USB developer is on in settings as I have never got in to the Android operating system as I cant get past the bootloop.
Your help and suggestions would be most helpful as I am now at an end of my abilities until I am further educated about how to resolve the issue.

I haven't tried this myself (no need), but since you seem to have nothing to lose give it a go. It's official Google, and comes with instructions.

Does the fastboot oem unlock command work?
Do you have all the correct usb and adb drivers installed??
First off, I suggest doing some reading up on adb and fastboot. Then manually flash factory images first and try to boot the phone completely.
The links @dahawthorne will help a lot.
Then try the command that @audit13 mentioned.
Hey guys, I've got a Kyocera Brigadier and I decided to change the runtime from Dalvik to ART. Now the phone is stuck on loadscreen and I don't know how to fix it. The phone is rooted using the KingRoot app, but I don't know if that would help in any way.
Please help me guys!
Similar Issue
I am have a very similar issue, I also rooted my Brigadier with Kingroot and all went well. However, I attempted to flash the Xposed Framework onto it using Flashify. After doing such it got stuck in a bootloop, I was able to fix that problem by booting into fastboot mode and using fastboot to push stock firmware back onto my device. However now I have an even bigger problem where my phone boots up to the Powered by Android screen and then to the Kyocera screen, however instead of continuing to boot to the Verizon Wireless screen and then into the phone, it gets stuck at a black screen. I have tried waiting for hours and nothing at all happens, also I can no longer seem to boot into fastboot mode or in other words the Powered by Android screen with the little 1 in the top left corner of the screen. Fastboot nor ADB recognizes the device when plugged into my computer, as neither list anything when ran. Please help, I don't want to have to pay and end up sending my phone into Verizon to be unbricked.

I have the same problem. I bought a new a Brigadier that was on 4.4.2. I rooted with Kingroot ran update and now my phone will not boot past Kyocera screen. It goes black with the back light on. Did factory wipe and still nothing. I am shocked that KK has killed yet another phone of mine. I very much dislike KK ROM. What did you find out?
So I have a Google Pixel Verizon locked model, that has never been modified, and just recently started boot looping.
It shows the GOOGLE logo on the white background for a few seconds before the screen goes black and tries to boot again.
I am able to get to the recovery mode sometimes (usually when the phone is cold and then can boot into it, otherwise just goes into the same above boot loop.
I have been able to chill the phone by putting it in the fridge, then able to get into the recovery mode.
I have attempted a factory wipe and boot, but when I attempt boot, it just goes back to the boot loop of google screen and black screen
am I bricked? I wanted to try flashing a new rom, but since its locked, and I have no way to get into the phone to activate developer mode, I don't think I can do anything
It sounds like a hardware problem, especially when you mention that chilling the phone helps. Unless someone else has some ideas, your only other option might be to go through Google support.
When in recovery, have u tried booting to bootloader and flash stock firmware with fastboot?
Cheers

yes, i get an error 21, which i believe is due to the locked bootloader
Since u can't go into fastboot, I think it's best to go to a service center or something.
Good luck.
