[Q] Nexus 5 Bricked! HELP!!! URGENT!

I'm kind of screwed and It's not even my mistake, I guess.
I clean flashed the Mahdi Update 25/04 yesterday earlier I had 03/03. In the morning I experienced 2 -3 random reboots and later only one random reboot after which my phone won't boot (bootloop). When i enter bootloader, it automatically selects "start" and boots into system and then reboots.
Once i got the chance and my phone booted fully. But then when I selected reboot into recovery so that i can restore a NAND. IT reboots, the team win logo shows up and then the cycle repeats.
Basically, i don't have access to recovery, my bootloader isn't stable (i.e. it automatically boots without selecting) so I'm unable to flash a stock img as of now. If and when my Nexus fully boots into system it stays the same for about 1 hr if i have any luck. PLz help.
From India. Unlocked Bootloader and custom Rom "Mahdi".

Have you tried using add to boot into recovery? If not also try to getting a logcat when it reboots, those will give us a little more of a general idea of what is actually happening.

First thing don't panic. You can't brick a nexus. You should be able to get into bootloader (volume down + power button) use Wugs Nexus Root toolkit from XDA forum. reload stock ROM in fastboot mode. I have done this lots of time. It's a draw back to being a tinkerer just can't leave well enough alone.

It sounds like your power bottom might be stuck to be honest.

I managed to somehow get into my bootloader and flashed the following
1. bootloader.img
2. radio.img
3. system.img
4. stock kernel (boot.img)
5. twrp recovery.img
I skipped userdata,img as i need to save my data.
I then went into recovery and did a factory wipe (not including internal storage)
My stock rom booted BUT the setup screen showed up and during the setup process it rebooted again and I couldn't mount my storage to backup.
MY MAIN PRIORITY IS TO COPY THE CONTENTS OF MY SD CARD Before flashing the whole stock image (including userdata)
Now when I type "adb version" in cmd I get Android Debug Bridge Version 1.0.31 but when I type "adb devices" whilst my phone is in fastboot mode, it doesn't list my phone. So i'm unable to "adb pull /mnt/sdcard"
I'm in the same situation with rare access to B/L (based on luck) and Recovery.
Plz tell me what to do when I am able to connect in bootloader mode (fastboot)
IF required I can upload a video showing that what problem I am facing.

To use adb pull you have to enter the recovery. You need universal naked usb driver 0.73 to make adb work in recovery. If you are on windows 8 or 8.1 you have to turn off the driver signiture enforcement befote installing the universal naked usb driver 0.73

I agree. It's a malfunctioning power button due to several reasons (moisture, drops, etc.). I had this on my Nexus S.

LG GPAD 7 stuck on Fast Boot

Purchased an Lg Gpad 7 Wifi tablet (v400) 2 weeks ago. Came with preinstalled Lollipop android so i couldnt install a recovery rom to flash any other custom roms. Downgraded to Kitkat version following the instructions on Xda forums and succesfully installed Twrp. When i installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 through Twrp i got stuck in fastboot screen.
Any suggestions and / or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem.. Only mine was stuck at the bootloader. Go in TWRP and repair /data and other partitions. My data partition gave me an error since F2FS is a little flaky and some ROMs corrupted it (claimed they supported it). I would recommend erasing the system, cache and data partition if you can't get into TWRP.

The problem is i cant get out of fastboot whatever i try. It says start on bootloader but the tablet just restarts on an empty screen doing nothing.

if you have an sd card, try removing that, then reboot.
if that doesnt work, try entering fastboot command, fastboot continue

Tried without sdcard and i get the same fastboot screen.
How can i give any commands? The only options i have are Restart Bootloader / Restart / Power off. Tried restarting bootloader but i get nothing in return tablet just stays on with nothing on screen.

you said it was stuck on fastboot, if thats the case, install any needed drivers on your pc, connect device to it, open a terminal in the fastboot dir (after you go get fastboot), then try those commands i gave. you could also try, fastboot reboot dont think i mentioned that before.

Did as you said but every command i gave gives me an error message in adb terminal. There are new lines in fastboot menu in tablet now. Bottom two are SECURE BOOT - enabled & LOCK STATE - locked.

hmm, ok, im guessing it would have said that normally, when not broken. all the command does is try to release it past where its stuck. it doesnt actually flash, lock, unlock, or change anything.
imo, this seems good, because now we know fastboot is working.
i own lg devices, but not your specific device. i would hate to give you some bad advice and make your tablet broken more, but if it were me in this situation, i would try to flash the factory KK firmware you used to downgrade with odin or however you did it. hopefully, that will clean everything up and let it boot properly.
if for whatever reason you cant do that, we could try extracting the factory file, and just flashing recovery and system, those should be the only things that got changed putting on twrp and cm normally.

Sorry, I have the serious proplem wtih my LG pad V400, I rooted it and using <LG Flash Tool 2014> with <V40010c_00.kdz> to downgrate the firmware but their is error then my LG pad stuck in fastboot menu as with just turn off, restart and restart bootloader. if i seclect one one them the tablet just logged again the fastboot menu
it stuck on the fastboot menu and i cannot do nay think with it. I can restart with factory restore mode but when select yes to restore, it will restart and log in fastboot menu again.
I downloaded adb and fastboot program and put in one folder <Minimal ADB and Fastboot> in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
I dont have recovery image so i download file <cm-13.0-20160421-NIGHTLY-v400-recovery.img> form your link to download TWRP file
move it to folder of fastboot programe and changed its name to <recovery.img>
I turn on the tablet and it waited at fastboot menu
when i run the command <fasboot flash recovery recovery.img> and they said some thing wrong like in picture
please help me

How to install TWRP into the LG P500H from Koodo?

I have a Koodo LG P500H. I am having a very hard time installing TWRP.
Firstly Play store doesn't work. It has this old thing called "Market" that has some apps, but not all. Market eventually gets updated to Playstore, but I can't even find TWRP manager. There was another app in the Playstore that I tried called ROM Manager. It said it installed TWRP for me. I restarted the phone, and nothing happened.
Restarting and Holding power/volume down/home will show a picture that seems to be some sort of recovery mode. But it only run for 1-2 seconds before the phone restarts itself. Nothing happens.
I tried to use ADB. But after rebooting the device it just restarted without ever going into recovery mode. So the flash command just get stuck at "Waiting for Device." Does this phone even have a recovery mode?
This phone doesn't support Odin.
I am used to using TWRP. Without it I cannot flash the phone into new OS.
And every single time I fail, the whole phone seems to have reformatted. So I have to enter in my wifi password and gmail again. All of that typing on a very small keyboard takes a lot of time. I had spent hours on this phone without getting TWRP working.
Please help.

The problem is when I reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), the phone will go into "phone off battery charging mode". It never actually goes into the bootloader.

Ok I did the following and it seems fastboot and TWRP works now. Be sure to enable USB Debugging on your P500.
1) Fastboot tutorial (I did everything here. I hit "ok" on the LGMDP 1.5 tool as needed. Do not wait till the countdown timer goes to zero.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15122833&postcount=100)?
FastBoot Tutorial
1. Please download this (or from here) file and unzip it in to any folder.
2. Start LGMDP 1.5 tool with the phone connected (you need to have USB drivers installed) and click on Select Port
3. A separate window should appear like the one below
Just click connect
4. Another window will take shape (LGE Mobile security) with lots of options (links)
Click on the first upper right Browse and select the folder in with you have unzipped the files. You will get some errors that some image, table or headers are missing. Just click OK and in the end everything that should remain selected is Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image.
Now just close the window (click on x)
5. Now you are back on the main window and here you'll have to click on Download
6. You are almost done and from now on everything should go on automatically.
NV Backup
Autorestart in Emergency\Download mode and upgrade the files (you selected on step 4)
NV Restore (the last step) Do not disconnect the USB cable until the restore is done
Wait for the phone to restart in normal mode (your current rom).
That should be everything you need to do to get fastboot enabled.

2) Install PdaNet+ (This was the only thing I did in this tutorial. It fixed the usb driver and the fastboot can then communicate with my PC.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350733
http://pdanet.co/a/
(Note: On top of Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image in step 4, I also selected the TWRP image file as my RECOVERY image. Not sure if this make a difference. )
(Note 2: I think you can also get the LG drivers here.)
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)
5) Type fastboot reboot
6) After the phone restarts, type adb reboot recovery. TWRP runs for me. Power+Home+Volume Down (3 button combo) also works now. (Previously this would reset the phone.)

Hey Man, im glad it worked. I could use your help.
I bricked my phone and need the restore file, Do you think you could make a backup from TWRP and upload it?
I would be super grateful.
Thank you.
Here is a zip with CM11, twrp 3.0.2.0 and Gapps for CM11.
Its the best rom I found.

Hi. What is your "brick" like? Does your TWRP still run? If yes you can just copy a custom OS into your Microsd card and install it from your Microsd.
You can also use ADB push to move files from your PC to the phone.

If you TWRP doesn't run, you need to install that first. Do steps 3 and 4 in the above post to boot into bootloader and install TWRP.
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)

Honor 6 C [DIG-L21HN] How to root ?

Hi I've unlocked the bootloader of my phone but I can't find any recoveries to push through ADB, therefore I can't flash SU. Does someone have a solution ?
Allright, for the newcomers, I've found a solution for this : (it is very important that you don't update your rom if you've rooted your phone, unless you want a 150$ brick I guess !)
Don't forget to install adb before anything
1. Enable USB debugging in developers option.
2. Connect your phone to a computer and then launch cmd. Type «adb reboot fasboot».
3. Once in fastboot mode we will flash TWRP by typing this : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img».
4. Unplug and reboot your device, on the nag screen keep pressing the up volume button to enter recovery. If it doesn't work then choose shutdown and hit all three buttons while it's booting.
5. Once you are in TWRP, backup everything to extsdcard.
6. Go to wipe and format /data and wipe it under advanced wipe. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER PARTITION !!! ONLY DATA.
7. Once it's done reboot the device. You should have a message telling you that the encryption failed, click reset phone.
8. It should launch TWRP choose reboot to bootloader.
9. Once in fastboot mode type this : «fastboot flash recovery 2ndreco.img» then type : «fastboot reboot».
10. Your phone should now display : «Factory reset low level» when you click reset phone. Once it's done it will automatically reboot but don't let it finish his boot sequence yet. On the nag screen keep pressing the up volume to enter recovery and then choose shutdown.
11. Boot in fastboot mode again and type : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img», then : «fastboot reboot».
Hold the vol.up button while on nag screen to enter TWRP.
If you don't enter TWRP after you typed fastboot reboot and hit the vol.up button but you enter erecovery that's ok, in this case what you need to do is to choose shutdown. Then hold vol.up, vol.down and power buttons to enter TWRP ! Go to install and flash magiskv13.3.zip and voilà your phone is now rooted !
I've not tried but I think you could restore the data partition with TWRP once you've done all those steps but I can't guarantee you anything so this is why I've told you to backup your data.
1streco.img file link here
2ndreco.img file link here
Magisk v13.3 link here

Si I've been able to install twrp but when I try to flash SuperSu.zip it doesn't work. It's crazy !

For those who wants to know, I've tried everything and the only way to go is to format and wipe data in order to disable dm-verity. But if you do that you won't be able to go further because the rom asks you to crypt your datas before continuing....

Can you tell us a little more about these two files? Where have you found them? (Not wanting to sound too paranoid but you know...)

I've found 1streco.img on a Chinese board. It's the work of a guy who managed to make TWRP available to us, users of honor 6c. The second one is the standard recovery image of Honor 6c. Those files are good, don't worry. Once your phone is rooted and everything works good, you can of course update magisk through TWRP to the lastest version.

OK, I have been trying around now for an hour or so... I have one real problem and one possible problem:
1. (the real one) Using Win7 64 bit, each time I send the the phone into fastboot mode, the system tries to install "MTP USB device" drivers... without any success so far. That's why the phone boots normally again. I haven't been able to solve that so far (installed HiSuite for example, didn't help).
2. (the possible one) Should the bootloader be unlocked? If yes, I have to admit I haven't found a way to do that so far. :-/

Of course the bootloader must be unlocked before doing anything, you can request a code here on Huawei website : http://en.ui.vmall.com/plugin.php?id=unlock

bravo there is machine back or full backup with recovery

Did you manage to root your phone ?

beautiful, can you install a module on magisk? if yes how because when installing the modules I get a failure when editing magisk.img thanks ?

No, you can't because of dm-verity, you.can manually install via recovery tho.

For the Russian version 6s failed to implant. ADB reboot fastboot this command does not put the phone in fastboot mode.

[GUIDE] [TA-1032] How to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and Magisk

Code:
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! This could brick your phone. It shouldn't but it can. If you brick your phone, or anything stops working on your phone, YOU are responsible.
Reboot combinations:
Fastboot: Shutdown and with USB cable hold power and volume down until it says FASTBOOT MODE at the bottom
Recovery: Shutdown and with USB cable hold power and volume down until the
Code:
Please release key to power off *
dissapears.
Unlocking Bootloader
Code:
Note: This will delete all user data! Backup all your data before doing this!
This part of the guide is part of the tutorial made by @Arin59 at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3/how-to/method-to-unlock-bootloader-nokia-3-pie-t4012285
First of all convert your serial number (should look like NE1*************) to MD5 Hash and enable OEM Unlock in developer options.
Then reboot to fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot oem key {HASH}
then type
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
.
To reboot to Android, run fastboot reboot.
Installing TWRP
Code:
This will delete your user data, but it should be already deleted.
You can use any TWRP image made for this device but I had the most success with https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3/development/twrp-teamwin-recovery-nokia-3-t3762512 .
Flash your TWRP Image chosen with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your-recovery-image.img
and then reboot to recovery.
In TWRP go to Wipe and then Format Data and type yes.
Install Magisk
Install Magisk normally.

< waiting for device >
I put the phone in fastboot mode and ran fastboot with the oem key md5 hash command but it just said "< waiting for device >". I think it might be because I forgot to install the Nokia 3 USB drivers. I'm using a linux computer, do I need to find OS specific drivers?
edit: And now my phone is stuck in fastboot mode and for some reason will not shutdown no matter how long I hold down the power button for.

If you're using a linux computer, you should try running the command with sudo.
If it doesn't work, try with another cable (or computer if it doesn't work) and try again.

Thanks. I've since got it working. For some reason I had to use the -i argument (the interface argument) along with the code for the device (0x2e04) "fastboot -i 0x2e04 <command>".
However, I've recently bypassed the "NO COMMAND" screen and gained access to TWRP custom recovery but in trying to shut down the phone, it shuts down fine but only boots up in fastboot mode. Even using the fastboot reboot command from adb tools boots it up in fastboot mode. This is a problem as I need to boot it in its normal mode so I can download the magisk.zip file required for installing magisk but I seem to be unable to do so.

Thanks, it worked.
Though I tried wiping, but it didn't solve the booting issue. Unsure how to proceed at this point. I feel like I've tried everything. Actually, I just checked my /boot folder and it's empty...is that why it's always booting into fastboot?
I tried using adb to sideload the magisk.zip file but then the phone rebooted into stock recovery??
Any and all guides on this say to download the magisk.apk either into the SD card or internal storage, but I don't have a micro SD card and I can't access the normal mode of the phone to download anything.
What can I do?

I've flashed TWRP successfully but forgot to download the magisk.apk. Now whenever I boot up my phone, it boots into stock recovery mode automatically, even if I tell TWRP to reboot into system it reboots into Stock Android recovery. I can still access TWRP by holding down the up + power buttons on boot though, but I can't access the normal mode of the phone anymore.
I tried using TWRP's sideload feature with ADB tools to sideload Magisk.zip and it said it succeeded but in using TWRP's install feature to find the zip file, it wasn't in /sideload/ or /storage/ as both were empty.
How can I temporarily restore normal functionality so I can simply download the Magisk manager.apk?
