Nothing was done to the phone. It's all stock and bootloader is locked.
Every time I go into the bootloader no options appear, but If I use Nexus Root Toolkit it gives me the options. But when I use it reboots the phone and gets stuck and when I remove the battery and Check to see if it save it, it still lock.
When I try Recovery mode a little android robot pops up and quickly takes me to a blank screen. The keys like the home, back those light up.
I try to flash it but since bootloader is locked everything fails.
Hi Guys, My Nexus 5 is stuck in a boot loop where it wont even get past the Google logo.
I have been searching around and have tried a number of things but nothing is working for me. Here's what I have tried so far:
- I thought the power button might be stuck down so I stripped and cleaned the whole thing. Button seems to be working OK but still in loop.
- Tried clearing cache through recovery mode. Once in recovery mode the power+vol up button will not bring up menu. It then reboots after 5 seconds and the loop starts again.
Currently I am trying to flash an OEM version onto the phone but the Bootloader is locked. Working through the guide here. I can connect to the phone. Execute the command 'fastboot oem unlock' but then when I attempt the reboot I get stuck back in the loop.
So yea that's where I am at so if anyone has any solutions for me that would be much appreciated.
Try nexus tool kit to unlock bootloader.

Do you mean the Android SDK Platform-tools or maybe the Nexus Root Toolkit? In either case the result is the same. As soon as the phone needs to reboot to unlock the bootloader it goes back into the loop and hence can not complete the unlocking.

It's your power button then nothing to do with nexus root toolkit.
I'm having the same problem, power button seems to work as it does not reboot itself
It stops in the Google logo for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which it restarts and does it again
When I do unblock the bootloader by adb and I will execute the command to reinitiate it back again to the screen with the Google logo with the bootloader blocked and thus be infinitely with the logo for 10 to 15 seconds
Anyone have any idea what that might be?
Sorry for my english.
I have installed lineage OS on my Moto G3, it works fine. But whenever I restart my phone it opens up in boot loader mode. I have to select start using the power button only then my phone starts up. Is there a way to get rid of the boot loader mode every time I restart my phone? I have searched a lot on the internet to get rid of the boot loader mode screen. please help me
Hey guys I am in a frustrating situation right now, but i cant for some reason undo the loop whenever i turn on my phone it keeps popping up the warning and loops by powering off my phone and going back to that warning screen. Does anyone know how to fix this by any chance? I only unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp and its driving me insane that whenever i press the volume down and power button it does this so i cant even enter the fastboot mode.

Unbrick. Using Msmdownload tool. Thread under guide [TOOL] MsmDownloadTool V4.0 International (Oxygen OS 5.1.5)
Hello, I recently came on a pixel phone to build and use lineageOS on. Upon rebuilding, I believe I performed adb sync wrong the device and damaged system. After that, my adb keys became unauthorized and I am unable to access the bootloader menu(I press power and volume, but phone boots into Bootloop). I tried the steps to get to bootloader menu, but the phone doesn't power completely off, and when I press the power button it gives me the launch screen saying press power to pause/continue boot, not allowing me to go into bootloader
My bootloop goes like this: Bootloader integrity screen(bootloader unlocked, cannot be verified) --> Google loading screen --> Android recovery. This shows 2 options with the message, "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device". The two options are to try again or data reset.
I press try again, and the same bootloop ensues, sometimes getting to lineage loading logo, but then back to the same recovery error regardless. If I press the buttons(power and vol up), to go into recovery, it just shows an android with a warning sign above it, giving a message saying "Error!" on the bottom. My adb on the computer shows as unauthorized, so I don't know how I can fix this. Google has said the warranty is expired and cannot do anything to help. Ideas to fix? Thanks for help in advance!
Use power and volume down (not up) to go into Fastboot mode. Then flash the stock images

I tried that, but whenever I press any button, the phone is never turning completely off unless it dies. Even after that, it goes to the screen showing the secure boot integrity(Press power to continue/stop boot)
How can I completely shut off the device and restart it? And if system is messed up, will that leave my bootloader intact(I'm assuming so as boot is a different partition?)

Does holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds turn it off? Or if you do that does it appear to turn off and then restart?
If that fails to turn it off, try just holding power and volume down for 5 seconds, and if the screen flashes (goes off and then on) let go of the power button but keep holding volume down and hopefully it goes into Fastboot.
That should work unless you have a dodgy power or volume button. The bootloader is completely separate to the boot partition, and the fact that it's doing anything at all suggests that it's still functioning.
Only other option I can think of is trying ADB commands when it's in recovery mode, e.g. adb reboot bootloader. However, if you have the stock recovery, that may not work.

Thank You!!! It didn't work in the bootloop, so I had to let the phone drain its battery and shut itself off, then I was able to enter the bootloader and reinstall lineage. Thanks so much!

Is ur bootloader unlocked? If so, use twrp to perform a full wipe and install from twrp as well. Of you can't access trwp, and are in a bootloop, do the same thing I did: let the phone lose all it's battery, so it's outta the loop, connect the phone to a charger, then hold power and volume down. This should get you into bootloader mode where you can then use fastboot to flash twrp.
