Help Unbrick Nexus 5!

Quite the rookie when it comes to this stuff. As of now, I have a Nexus 5 LRX22C (5.0.1) which is bricked. When I turn it on, it will just stick on the Google screen and not move from there. I can get into download mode by holding vol up down and power, and in there I see that my bootloader is locked. I have a Mac and I am trying to understand how to "fastboot". I have downloaded the factory image file. Where do I go from here?
Thank you in advance!

Here's a guide on setting up ADB and fastboot on OSX.

How can I enable USB debugging when the device is bricked?

USB debugging doesn't need to be on for fastboot to work. Just unlock your bootloader and then flash the system image, both with fastboot, and then you should be up and running again.

And FYI, if you plan on using the flash_all.sh you need to open it up using text edit and add a "./" in front of every fastboot command, otherwise it won't work.

I downloaded the SDK but I cannot find the "tools" it mentions.. I open the folder and have two files, "adb" and "fastboot"

I don't know what " tools" you're talking about. All you need are ADB and fastboot. Actually for this all you need is fastboot.
Edit: just looked at the guide and I see what you're talking about. Where did you download the SDK from?

So I just click on fastboot and connect the device in download mode?

No, you dont click on fastboot, you issue fastboot commands via terminal. Here's another guide on fastboot- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

Thanks for all your help and quick replies but seems that guide is only for Windows and Linux? I'm on a Mac

Linux and Mac commands would be the same

The first guide was how to get set up adb/fastboot on OSX, the second guide was for using them in general. The functionality is identical.
The only difference is that with OSX, you need to add "./" before every command. For instance, to unlock your bootloader on Windows the command is-
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
But on OSX it would be-
Code:
./fastboot oem unlock
Aside from that it's the same, so any thing you read about using fastboot applies to OSX as well.

I managed to unlock the bootloader and flash the image but now I am stuck at this image
http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KnlUdjUaD3Q/maxresdefault.jpg
It has been this way for nearly an hour now. I tried formatting and wiping cache to no avail. Ahhh one problem after the next!

. /Fastboot erase bootloader
. /Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader. Img
. /Fastboot reboot-bootloader
. /Fastboot erase recovery
. /Fastboot flash recovery recovery. Img
Repeat for each image file
Sometimes using the flash all bat doesnt work. Flashing each image individually should fix ya right up.

How to install Stock rom for bricked Android One by using 'Fastboot'? (Links updated)

Bricked your Android one?? Can't install or phone not getting detected by SP Flash tool? Don't worry. This is the common problem for many users including me. My phone was not getting detected by SP flash tool. I tried many ways so that my phone gets detected, but I failed. Then I read about the 'Fastboot' method and got success. Now I am sharing the whole method with you all.
At first you will need the Adb fastboot Programs only, Adb Driver, The device driver and the Stock ROM of android one.
Last but not the least, an android one with the bootloader unlocked.
Now you are ready lets begin with the procedure.
1) Extract the 'Adb fastboot Programs only' in a folder any where in the PC (Better make a folder in the desktop and extract there).
2) Install the drivers.
3) Extract the rom and then copy the 'system.img', 'userdata.img', 'boot.img', 'recovery.img', 'bootloader.img' and 'cache.img' to the 'Adb fastboot Programs only' folder.
4) Now turn on the phone by pressing the volume up and the power button simultaneously, which will bring you to the bootloader menu. There go to the fastboot option by pressing the volume up button and selecting it by pressing the volume down button. This will activate fastboot mode. Now connect the phone with the PC via USB.
5) Open the 'Adb fastboot Programs only' folder. There press shift key and right click and select 'Open command window here' option. Command prompt will open. Now there follow these simple commands.
6) i)
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
press enter. When it completes........
ii)
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
press enter. When it completes........
iii)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
press enter. When it completes........
iv)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
press enter. When it completes........
v)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
press enter. When it completes........
vi)
Code:
fastboot flash cache cache.img
press enter. When it completes........
vii)
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
press enter.
viii)
Code:
fastboot reboot
press enter.
7) Now you are done. Wait for at least 10 mins. as the initial boot takes time.
If there is any problem let me know.
If I helped you press the "Thanks' button.

Will it work on any devices? I don't know where this bootloader is. I only have stock system recovery and everytime I flash i get error like "installation aborted " I also use spflash tools but it cant detect my phone. By the way can i use an option in my system recovery like "install using adb" to flash using your way?
Please submit a reply.
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. May I know what is the model of your device? You will need to go to the fastboot mode.
Install using adb works only for .zip files not for .img files. And also there are separate codes for adb method. At first I need to know your device model.

So, its a tablet pc. Ok if you can get access to the bootloader menu then only my procedure is possible.Actually you do not need any CWM recovery for getting into the bootloader menu. It comes up when you switch on your device by pressing the volume up and the power button at the same time.

Thankyouu so much bro,my phone was not getting detected by sp flash tool and i wanted to downgrade to kitkat.

In this case u need factory image of the stock rom. Unfortunately the factory image of the Android 6.0 for Android One isn't still available. But u can flash android 5.1 factory image.
With all the above code just add " fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img "
I am providing the link of the factory image of android 5.1

Soon I will be releasing a Android One flashing tool. Stay tuned.
Happy flashing.

Before I was using Philz touch recovery.

even If I open reccovery mode from an alternative way...it stucks in the twrp screen "teamwin".
Help guys how to get my phone back.
will the given method will work for it?
I yes, can I use AndroidOne Toolkit for using installing recovery again?

[GUIDE] Fix device automatically rebooting after few seconds of booting.

If you are having a weird bootloop where the phone just reboots after few seconds of booting like shown here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YcWsWYQVGQ) then you're in the right place, here's how you can fix the issue.
Before proceeding make sure you know your risks as I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war and anything really.
Steps:
1) Download Mi Flash Tool and install it. (For the drivers, skip it if you have installed the drivers already)
2) Download and Install minimal ADB and Fastboot Tool, persist.img and temporary twrp.img links will be below.
3) Copy the persist.img to your internal storage.
4) Copy the recoveryxx.img to same folder where you've saved the minimal ADB/Fastboot tool.
4) Goto the minimal adb fastboot tool folder where you had put the recoveryxx.img
5) Open cmdhere.exe
6) Put your phone in fastboot mode (Volume - and Power)
7) Type the following commands:
- fastboot devices (you should something like this:
Fastboot dsad5454sfs, If not, re-install the the fastboot drivers correctly. )
- fastboot oem unlock (This is just for unlocking the bootloader you can just skip it if you have unlocked bootloader.)
- fastboot boot recoveryxx.img *(basically the filename of the image file.)
Now you will boot to the temporary twrp and once you're there follow these steps:
8) Open Terminal in TWRP Custom Recovery (go to “Advanced” > “Terminal”).
9) Type the following command:
- dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
10) Go to reboot and select system and that's it!
Voila!

Try other builds then, that occurs if the size of persist.img is different than what your partition allows. For most the August one should work.

Hi,
Flashing the persist.img seems to have resolved the issue for me also, once I have completed the steps in the guide can I re-lock the bootloader?
I assume as we didn't flash TWRP and only booted into it temporarily should be fine?

Root OOS 5.1.9 patched boot.img

Hi people,
Here can you you get the patched boot.img for 5.1.9 so that you can fastboot from the boot.img and then root your device in cmd.
Patched and normal boot.img can be downloaded from the attachments
After the update you need to boot your phone into bootloader then then type fastboot boot patched_boot.img and when it the phone boots then install magisk manager on the phone and then press install and then directly (recommend) option.
update download links: https://www74.zippyshare.com/v/dxGCgGju/file.html

Great , works perfectly. Thank you

thanks buddy really appreciate the effort just updated.
Gonna test the camera tomorrow when it's daylight haha

Just patched with your file, worked like a charm! Thanks a lot for the effort!!!

No problem people and all you have to do is use a bin extractor to get all the files from the update and then let magisk patch the boot.img so that you get a nice patched fastboot ?

sry but, what's the advantage?
need unlocked bootloader, yes?

Can you install this from twrp? Reason I ask is because I like to restore the stock boot image before installing a custom kernel, and this would save a step for me.

Thanks for posting this. This got me past accidentally flashing twrp directly to the boot partition after taking the latest OTA.

Install ADB and the fastboot mode with the oneplus drivers.
Then type cmd in the windows search bar to open up command prompt

Will my data be deleted after this procedure?

Hi, I don't know what I'm doing wrong :
My OEM Bootloader is unlocked
I reboot on fastboot mode
I connect the phone to my PC
I launch the PowerShell window from the folder where I have downloaded the boot.img and patched_boot.img
I check if my phone is here : fastboot devices (OK)
I launch the first command : fastboot boot.img => then the phone reboot "normally"
I power off the phone
I boot on fastboot mode
I launch the second command : fastboot patched_boot_img => the the phone reboot "normally"
And no root at the end... What am I doing wrong ?

Sorry, I'm so close :
I reboot to recovery
I type my password
I select English
Then... "Wipe data and cache" or "Advanced"
No "flash". Do I have to wipe cache (or anything else) in order to flash magisk ?
Thanks for your help !!

Before I flash it I wanted to ask if you notice any performance difference between 11g (oreo) and 21d. Is it just as fast?

I Cross-Flash G710ULM20 GFI
Performance increases

I cross-flashed G710pm to G710ulm20e USA. Thanks OP and lge.fun
I only have to ask if you should let magisk manager download and install the updated zip (20.1). I decided not to because it may break the rooted boot image.

Thanks. I don't think I need fastboot yet. I am not sure how to erase the LAF partition.

To zero it out use adb shell or the termrnial app then su
The do:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/laf_a
To get into download mode:
Theres two ways#
1. Get into fastboot mode and set current slot to b
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
then reboot and hold the up button while its connectrc to your pc and you should be able to get into download mode
2. Boot into twrp, then tap reboot in the menu and on the bottom it should say slot a or b and select b. Then reboot. Dont worry about not being able to mount.

Is that for installing a custom rom?
Then do you need to do this?
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta_a.img

One person got it to work. I

Can you show the full details of your method, as I'm tried patch both img and it's work, but when I boot to download mode and connect to PC and open LGUp, it's always show unknown model, try flash the img it in fastboot many time, it's always happen like that

First don't call a tutorial trash cause you didn't do it properly and you didn't even detail the problem properly. . Second, make sure you're still on 11g firmware or go back to 11g firmware via download mode of you're not and then flash the abl partition from the unlocked bootloader tutorial if you havent used that abl. Then fastboot flash rooted 11g boot_a and boot_b file then reboot to firmware and make sure it boots all the way up and restart your PC then try going into download mode again if it works go into fastboot flash the 21ulmd booted rooted image both a and b then immediately restart to download mod

I'm on g710ulm11g and I'm rooted, updated the magisk to 20.1, now do I have to boot to fastboot and boot the twrp20ulmrooted img to boot_a and boot_b and then boot to download mode?

Noo. Fastboot flash 21ulmrooted to both a and b then reboot to download mode.

question: I am rooted with magisk and on ULM21d. I have extracted the image file and renamed it "twrp21ulmdroot.img" and put this file on my internal storage /sdcard. When I run the command dd if=/sdcard/twrp21ulmdroot.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a in adb shell (as root #) it keeps giving me a response of dd: /sdcard/twrp21ulmdroot.img: No such file or directory. The file is actually there. Any ideas?

Are you sure you didn't name it twrp21ulmd.img.img? Or reboot the device.. Make sure it's where the Download, pictures etc.. folders are.

When I'm try to boot the twrp20ulmrooted to boot a and boot b, bcoz I want to root on g710ulm20e, then in command it's show up: cannot boot a boot.img *and* ramdisk, so what exactly command I have to use in adb and fastboot?

sir, your tutorial worked perfectly for me- I now for the first time since owning this phone have a custom recovery. Thank you for your help :good:
Edit: my problem earlier was that the image file was not installing to my internal storage in the right place for whatever reason... /sdcard was not available when searching my int storage. So I dropped the file into 'Download', then used Advanced tools pro file manager to grab it and paste it into the parent directory. At that point the shell commands worked
