Thinking the same thing. But.. I can admit getting in a hurry and flashing the wrong image! :laugh:

I made sure that I was using the right image and it still wont go past the Google screen. Any other ideas?
edit: okay the phone can't even write the recovery to the phone through fastboot! Any other thoughts?

Long press the power button force it to reboot. As soon as the screen goes black hold down the volume down button. That will boot you into the bootloader, from there you can get to recovery. Factory reset, wipe cache.
You flashed stock recovery?
If you have stock recovery go to the bootloader like I said earlier. Choose recovery. Then you will see android laying down. Press volume up and power button at the same time. Do a factory reset.

If you flashed the whole image inclusing userdata.img it should boot usualy, never xperienced it did not personaly. So besides a wipe have no idea bro, you might try to reflash the rom again. Are you using a Toolkit?

I did this with the flashh-all.bat provided by the official image. I can't even do that anymore because it just gets stuck when writing the bootloader. Totally out of ideas right now. Is there any way I can reformat the partition through fastboot? Would that help?

Try this:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
After that flash the rom again with flash.all.batt

maybe flash each part individually (not using flashall)

Yup, that might work better maybe

hmm so in which order should i flash them in?
edit: I honestly think the flash storage failed. Ill just apply for RMA then. Do you guys know if I bought my phone in early December, will I still be eligible?

How to flash a factory image. Erasing everything in fastboot should have done the trick. Erase everything then do method 2. You have to reboot the bootloader after flashing the bootloader and again after flashing the radio. One year to RMA. .
---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------
These are the commands I would use. The name of the images for the bootloader and radio are for 4.4.2.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-1.0.25.0.23.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot

Thanks all for the help! Will try it tomorrow. Hopefully it works

I'd go one better and look to do a COMPLETE reflash - userdata and all! I'd also rename bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img to bootloader.img and radio-hammerhead-m8974a-1.0.25.0.23.img to radio.img as it means there's less to get wrong! SO, to recap:
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 reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot format cache
I'd then boot into the stock recovery and perform a factory reset to make sure everything is in order and then reboot. I've done this exact method a number of times on my Nexus 5 and it works every time

I usually do the same thing too but I left the names as a hint to verify that he had the correct images.
I almost never flash userdata and recovery unless I'm selling a device. I've also never rebooted the bootloader between every image Except after the bootloader and radio images but I agree that your method is covering all the bases!

As I hardly have any data to backup bar some custom ring tones I always reflash the userdata partition to be thorough. As for the reboots, I've just done it from habit, again just to be thorough. If it still doesn't work after that then it's goosed!

Try using the backup bootloader. Press and hold both volume buttons with the power button. That will take you into the backup bootloader.

Thanks to everyone for helping but I could not even get past writing the bootloader to the phone. I honestly think the flash storage and failed so will be RMAing. Hopefully they will accept it...

XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip via recovery?

If you want to flash through recovery use the OTA link: http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed.zip
The link works, its just not published. Enjoy!

"signed_fastboot.zip" for fastboot mode.
i found something in flash-radio.sh (signed_fastboot.zip 's root-dir) ,maybe you're Into It Too.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
if you had 64g , be careful with userdata.img , try this in "recovery mode" choice "wipe media/data" that doing the same thing gets the almost same results.

Yea I was also wondering this? The only thing that is stopping me from trying it is the two different user data files. Does it automatically decide which one it should take?

Cant flash factory image

When i try to flash my factory image 5.0.1 on my nexus 5 (i got twrp recovery and DU rom) i got the message you will see in the picture... What shall i do? Thanks in advance.

Post a screenshot of your folder structure where the fastboot.exe and flash-all.bat are located. I guess you forgot to copy over the zip archive which contains the system.img / cache.img / userdata.img and so on.

ok

Does the image-hammerhead zip file contain system.img file? If not you maybe got a corrupted download and have to d/l the factory image again...

Yeah it does!..

Okay then try this:
1) Erase all partitions manually like this:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
2) Then extract the content of the zip file and flash each img file manually like this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Bootloader and radio don't have to be flashed because they have - as I can see in your screenshot - successfully been flashed with the flash-all.bat.

What you did:
fastboot reboot bootloader
That's wrong. It's
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You only flashed stock kernel which is not compatible with DU ROM hence the bootloop.
Never mind. Just turn it off by holding power button. As soon as the screen is off also press vol down to boot in fastboot mode again.
Flash all the partitions like I said without reboot. After you've flashed all partitions type
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Hi,
The same boot loop error also I encountered , and here is how i solved it.
1. First U need to download this tool -> HONOR_6_and_6Plus_Multi-Tool
2. run the Honor6MultiTool.bat
3. it will ask to install universal ADB driver. follow the instruction and install
4. then 6th option will be UNBRICK, Enter ur choice: 6
5. Then u follow the instruction
After that the phone will boot.
If any problem will occur do comment below.
All The Best!!

it enters fastboot but still the device wont boot
can you tell me the commands to flash all files from the update.app from fastboot
maybe that will solve the issue

DOWNLOAD stock firmware (update.app) extract from it Recovery.img system.img boot.img cache.img cust.img.and userdata.img. then turn your mobile in fastboot and connect to usb, open CMD in PC and write CD "path to adb.exe", when you are there, copy extracted files there too and write in CMD this lines:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
when you will finish write FASTBOOT REBOOT and that's all

i tried this already but it did not work
i think flashing all the 22 files from the update.app file will work
or i have to wait till the lollipop update file comes out
my bootloader is unlocked so will my device be repaired under warranty(huawei didn't mentioned voiding warranty by unlocking bootloader while getting the code)

Nothing can be written on internal storage (insert sd card error on camera, etc)

I posted this on reddit...but didn't get much help...i hope the geniuses at xda can help me
As the title says, the camera app (any camera app) won't work because as you start any of them, it asks to insert the sd card, but this is a 2013 Nexus 5...so it doesn't have an sd card.
I've done a fair amount of research and the only thing that seems to be mentioned is factory reset. I've done that...both through the settings and twrp. The phone has a stock marshmallow rom.
I tried to download any other file and it won't let me download anything becauase the "sd card" is not available. So it's as if the internal sd card isn't mounted? how do I fix this? I don't have a computer nearby to do anything with adb...any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
The amount of storage according to the settings is correct (3gb used of 12 gb..16gb nexus 5)...all app permissions are correct. I've reflashed two different stock firmwares with the exact same result.

Try this:
boot into fastboot;
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase recovery (to erase existing recovery);
run this fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (to flash stock recovery from stock ROM)
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase userdata;
run this fastboot command to flash the usedata img from the stock ROM: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img;
boot into stock recovery and perform a factory wipe/reset and wipe cache;
reboot.

I'll try that tonight or tomorrow morning. Where do you suggest I download recovery.img (the stock recovery)?
Thanks for the help one way or another.. Hehe

The stock Google images are here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
I assume the phone has an unlocked bootloader since you were able to flash stock ROMs.

What did you do between all being fine and now this problem?

I sold the phone to someone I know. I had a rom (i can't remember which)...so before i sold the phone, i encrypted it, wiped it clean, flashed the stock rom (and radio)....and did a factory reset.
