Hello everyone, I found again my old Nexus 5, I changed few years ago because after changing the OS many time maybe I did something wrong and my phone was stuck.
loop on the ANDROID logo, I can still access fastboot mode.
Today I want to try to restore it to stock, I installed again adb, downloaded the factory img.
Though when I want to use fastboot command, I have a <waiting device> line.
Because I can use my phone, I can't go to developer mod to install drivers. so I try to do it manually by adding legacy drivers, but it didn't seemed to work because I still have the waiting device line ...
If someone can help me to resurrect my good ol' Nexus 5
No one to help me ?

The thing is even the tool all in one ask for usb debugging, I don't know if this option on my phone is good, but I can't go on it because it can't boot (bootloop)
And when in fastboot mode, my device doesn't appear in the device list of the all in one
You may try and this ...http://www.wugfresh.com/
No, nothing is working. because my phone is not detected by anything.
You don't need developer mod to install drivers.
1- Boot into fastboot.
2- https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
Download and unzip this.
3- Go to your Windows Device Manager, find your phone and manual install the driver.

Hello,
My phone had been experiencing a host of problems, so I formatted all partitions. (/sdcard, /system, /cache, /data, /boot)
I planned on using the "mount USB storage" to transfer a copy of CM10 to the sdcard and flash that from recovery,
but the device does not appear in my computer or device manager in windows, and Linux doesn't see it either.
In it's current state, it's soft bricked, is there anything I can do to fix it?
It now says "fastboot mode - no boot or recovery IMG", and I have no drivers to communicate with it under adb or fastboot.
Thanks,
-Max
Use this guide to recover your device.
Thanks, but my issue is that I can't install the drivers, could it be a windows 8 thing?
Everything seems to require that I enter USB debugging first, which is impossible for me now.
I think the ADB driver is impossible to install, unless I can do it over CWM, and every fastboot driver I've tried has failed too.
How did you erase everything? Was it through fastboot or CWM?
I did it through CWM. I had just recently installed Windows 8, and hadn't connected it since then so no drivers are installed.

In my opinion, its safer to erase everything from fastboot.
If fastboot recognizes your phone, then you can erase or install whatever you want.
If fastboot does not recognize your phone, then you can't erase it. You then need to find out why. Bad drivers, wrong folders, bad usb cable...In the meantime you phone will still work.
On my windows 7 box, under the administrator account, it took a while to set up the drivers, don't know why, but windows would not take it at first.
Maybe you can mail the phone to a xda member to get it going again...

I am sorry to hear about your phone. You are not alone I did the exact same thing a few days ago. Don't beat yourself up I have done that enough for both of us. Through my research into this i found there a few things that you might try (I don't own a PC so I haven't yet)
To get the drivers, I read a couple people had success downloading PDANet and installing them that way. I think they are located in "legacy drivers"
From the original "root, un-root" thread for your model download the stock boot img and try to flash that using ADB
follow the instructions to un-root and start over with rooting.
I also was going to look into Wug's toolkit (in the dev section) it looks like that may be an easy option to flash a working boot and recovery img.
I hope this helps please let me know.
I gave up to quick and ordered a GNex but I'm not touching that until I get my NS4G sorted out (my faith in my abilities is shaken and I could not handle bricking a brand new phone). I will be going to a friends house tonight to use their PC and try to get my NS running. I will be back to let you known what works and what doesn't. If you try or find anything would you please post? Two heads working on this issue are better then one. Thanks and good luck.

*** success ***
The solution was an easy one thanks to our developers, the hard part was finding the answer and of course, beating myself up for making the mistake in the first place. Here's what you do...
Leave your phone with the battery out for a while. Download "Wug's Nexus Toolkit" In found it in the NS4G dev section but I believe it covers all variants (not sure which you have) at the select your model and custom JB ROM download the drivers (from the actual toolkit) turn on, plug in and select flash stock img, relock boot loader, pick the stock ROM you want and press go and your phone will be flashed and reboot in under a minute. Sign in on your phone (the toolkit should auto populate your new ROM and then just follow the steps to unlock, flash and install a custom recovery then pick any ROM you want and start over.
I really hope this helps you as I'm sure you find the whole situation as stomach-churning as I did. Please PM me and let me know.
If it does work please leave a thank you or donation to the dev for creating such an awesome tool. Again, good luck hope you get your nex back online.

The Nexus Toolkit was actually my first option, it's helped me out before. I went back and tried installing the drivers using the 3 options it gives. # 3 & #2, RAW and Samsung signed drivers don't work. Option #1, the PDAnet drivers didn't work last time I tried it (all 3 options require USB debugging enabled). However, I just tried #1 again by turning on the device in CWM and that seemed to work, but I'm not sure (installation went according to the guide). However, once I tried to flash stock img, it gave me errors about not being able to reach the device in fastboot. Can you elaborate on those two steps, driver installation and flashing? As soon as I can get fastboot to recognize my device I can pretty much take it from there. BTW, I've got a i9020A and using NRT 1.6.1; and what's the significance of leaving the phone with the battery out for a while?
Mine was in the box with the battery out overnight. When I had access to a PC and plugged it in it said something at the bottom of the fastboot screen in grey that it did not before and I actually think that was the trick (System normal or system OK or something like that and when replugged to the USB the message just repeated and stacked up on the lower left of the fastboot screen). Try letting the phone sit for a while. All driver options failed for me except the tool kit.

Tried your fix, but the phone remains unable to have it's drivers installed. It's always giving "USB device not recognized" errors no matter what I do. I'm just going to shelf it and accept my loss. Thanks for the help though!
edit: Tried using some Linux tools, much greater success! This guide finally got my device listed under fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447040

Hi u all!
First of all thank you for your time and sorry for my english, I speak spanish.
I have a nexus s i9023. I was using CyanogenMod 11 experimental 24042014.
I was having many problems and decided to downgrade to the stable version 10.1.2
It downloaded ok, installed all the updates, rebooted and then got stuck in the logo screen when booting.
The problem is that my nexus s has a broken the power button, it doesn't work.
As for right now the olny thing I can do is to enter the bootloader screen, but cant move throgh the options with the volume keys, it's like its stuck.
If I plug in the device when in the bootloader (fastboot mode) screen my PC doesn't recognice it, I search in the device manager but it doesn't appear.
If it helps when I plug in the battery the phone starts on in it's on.
Please, any help is appreciated.
Im really sad because I love my nexus.
Thank you!!!
Same here. Any help for us would be great. Thanks.

Seems like a driver issue. Can you try installing the drivers in a different system?
If it goes well, then use install cwm touch recovery from fastboot. You can take backup and flash new ROMs after that.
Try Nexus Root Toolkit to install drivers if you don't have access to a different system.

Don't I need to have android debugging enabled? If so, I don't think Nexus Root Toolkit will work. I flashed a ROM to my NS4g & I get boot loops. I flashed the wrong Gapps a few months ago.
I was hoping there would be a way to automatically turn android debugging on. I know it may sound dumb & also probably impossible.
Any other tips.
Tell me I'm screwed. Haha.

I disabled USB debugging. Rebooted to bootloader. Fired up 'fastboot devices' on cmd and could see my phone. This tells me that I do not need USB debugging on fastboot.
If you see an unknown device in Device Manager while in fastboot then use Universal Naked Driver to install the drivers. But since you don't, you'll need another PC to do this stuff. Once drivers are installed, you can do a 'fastboot reboot recovery' to get into recovery and fix the the problems. The first thing I advice is to flash a touch recovery. The rest is up to you.
Flash back the original soju firmware back onto your device by first using "nexus s root toolkit v.1.8.2 by wugfresh". It may take a little of your time downloading the roms and installing the drivers but trust me it should be working and your phone will boot into stock android 4.1.2. You can then root your device and install custom recovery as normal. Anything do pm me :laugh: ps, click the bricked option one the software is loaded up and remember to connect your device only and remove other phones from your computer
Just after updating to lollipop I completly smashed my screen. It doesn't show any usefull information and touch is not working.
Since I'm not in the mood to buy a new screen because I already bought a Note 4, I wanted to pull the data from the phone. It's pin protected but fastboot is still working, adb however is not.
After reading up a bit I found that going into cwm recovery I would still be able to acces adb.
So I with fastboot I booted cwm recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img) only to find that adb still won't find my devices.
Is there any way left to pull the data from my phone? I also have acces to a external keyboard/mouse with a otg cable but that won't seem to work either.
Boot into recovery and with your device plugged into your pc go to device manager. Do you see your device there?

In recovery it doesn't show up.
On a normal boot it does, only no files are showing because of the pin lock.

Google 15 second adb install xda. It has drivers as well as sets up adb and fastboot on your pc which you'll need if you can get your device detected
Edit, also download the twrp image from here and boot into it fastboot boot twrp.img (use the full name of the twrp image file) cwm sucks. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead

I think I got it working, I already had adb working but it wouldn't find the correct drivers for the nexus 5.
I tried to update the drivers from google but windows said that it didn't find any correct drivers for the devices so I had to get "naked drivers" from somewhere.
After that it showed up as galaxy nexus adb interface in the device managers and adb was able to find it.
It's now pulling all the data.
Thanks you for your help!
I will report back when it's done pulling.

Hi guys,
Before i start, just be informed that i have tried google all possible solutions and tried them but to no avail. I know its a long shot but perhaps someone may be able to help however small the chances are.
My phone is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon variant and is rooted.
What happened was, i tried installing TWRP (kenzo version) on my phone and so following the "instructions" in the downloaded file.
I used Flashify to flash the boot.img and then redmi_note_3_Twrp.img then the phone prompted me to reboot.
Now my phone is stuck in bootloop. The only thing i can do is to boot into Fastboot. So i tried accessing fastboot via ADB hoping to be able to some how flash the original boot.img back.
The problem i have now is that i am unable to access the phone at all even though i can go into fastboot. It wont be detected by my PC. I tried Minimal ADB and Fastboot and PdaNet.
Is there any other way for me to detect my phone and run some form of command to get it started again? Any help at all is appreciated. The phone is fairly new and i'm regretting trying to get the latest ROM for it.
I'm hoping i'll have some luck in a helpful community such as this.
Thanks guys.
Omg!! someone with the same problem as me. The same happened to me. Flashed a CWM file now am stuck in a Bootloop and ADB wont find my device either

Fret not my friend. For i have found the solution and managed to unbrick my phone. Thank the good guys at MIUI for this.
Head over to the MIUI forum and search unbrick under the Redmi Note 3 forums. I can't post the link here unfortunately
You can also thank me after you unbrick your phone.
This only applies if you are uaing the Redmi Note 3 Pro
yea unfortunately i dont use that phone. I have a Lava Iris x1 Grand (Lollipop). I am still trying to get ADB find my device

Well if that's the case i suggest googling how to get into EDM mode for ur phone and using your phone brand's flash tool to flash a new ROM onto your phone. This means you will not be able to save your phone's memory. Is your phone's bootloader unlocked?

yes it is unlocked,
i think? When i entered fastboot mode. One of my apps says bootloader enabled and when i typed 'fastboot devices' in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot its shows:
0123456789ABCDEF devices
whereas if I type 'adb devices' i just shows:
List of devices attached
The main problem is the driver, i cant get adb to find my device. I have tried the universal usb drivers like Kouch but no success. My device is listed in the Unspecified section in my computer
Hi everyone,
after a whole day spent try to fix my oneplus 6, now the roblem is that the fastboot is not working anymore. it gets stuck at the starting point with the oneplus logo and the writing Fastboot Mode.
Just to explain better, i rooted my phone but, trying to fix an audio problem, i did something wrong (probavly wiping all datas with twrp) and the phone got stuck at the Fastboot mode (opposite problem that i have now). After i fixed this (flashing manually every partitions) the phone is working again, but i realised that, by mistake, i used the oxygen 9.0.11 for oneplus 6T. So i tried to go to the Fastboot Mode but it gets stuck at that point. I also see that the phone is not rooted anymore.
I installed again Adb and fastboot but it doesn't fix the problem.
Just to give other random informations, the boot loader is still unlocked and i can't lock it.
As you can see i'm totally not an expert. I just wanted to root my oneplus 6 to increase the volume of the headphones.
Anyone that can help me?
Thanks

The idea is to boot it in download mode. You'll need the Qualcomm drivers, msm download tool, and oos full rom. Run the tool as administrator.

Fastboot require Android SDK(Software Development Kit) and different USB drivers for windows computer may be that's the reason why your Fastboot is not working.
