Google Nexus 5 :: Will Not Fully Boot - Including Recovery

Dec 20, 2015

Randomly my Nexus 5 stoped booting yesterday, not progressing further than the Google boot logo. I can reach the option to load the recovery mode, but, once selected from the vol down+power menu it loads into a similar black screen.

From what I understand this is a soft-brick issue, but I'm unsure of how to reflash if I cannot access the recovery mode.

Google Nexus 5 :: Cannot Boot Or Go To Recovery Mode

Nov 19, 2015

Nexus 5 showing black screen

1.Can access fastboot mode

2.Cannot access recovery mode from fastboot : shows google logo and black screen (no inverted android)

3.When selecting Start from fastboot : only google logo appears and then black screen (not even the marshmallow boot animation)

Things Tried :

1.Phone was able to ring from android device manager. Tried erase from there. No response

2.Tried flashing the stock rom still no response.

What might be the issue ? Is the internal memory corrupted ?The phone boots up able to hear screen shot sound but still black screen..The LG customer care replaced the flex cable and it works now. It costs 1600INR (around 15$)

When i try to boot with VOL-UP+POWER it shows google logo and then a flashing red light on the home button. if i take my fingers off it will just power off.

Google Nexus 5 :: Boot Loop / Dead Battery / No Recovery

Dec 4, 2015

My Nexus 5 device is unable to boot stock or recovery image. It's a locked bootloader, and stock ROM from my wireless carrier. I charged it with a 2 amp capable charger.

Symptoms: preceding the failure , there were strange slowdowns, apps crashing, and inability to charge the battery over the course of a day. When the battery finally died, that was the last I saw my Operating System. Now, when it's plugged in to power, it indicates full charge. If the power button is pressed it will show the Google logo, then cycle back to the battery charged icon. If the power button is held, the battery logo is skipped and Google logo displayed repeatedly. If the down volume button is pressed in addition to power, I get the screen where I can chose the recovery loader, but then the process of Google logo and reboots persist.

If nothing else, I'd like to grab built-in SD card memory contents and strip out a bitcoin key with about $40 on it that I didn't get to back up before it failed.What have I tried so far: basically everything above to generate those symptoms. I also tried opening the back, and pulling one of the top cover and unplugging the battery entirely. No effect.

Google Nexus 5 :: Stuck On Formatting / Data After Fast Boot Recovery

Sep 9, 2015

I have a Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) 32gb device, stock with no rooting. I mean, I had never done anything special on it ever.

1. Recently I started getting Google Play Store related problems, first 194 error and then couple of days back 495 (I think). After trying switching on/off, clearing cache and some other similar ways to fix this, I decided to do a factory reset

2. I backed up all my data, and followed the documented steps for factory reset. The phone got stuck on 'erasing'. After waiting for over 24 hours, I finally figured out that this 'erasing' is not going to complete, ever.

3. So I again did some research and figured that I should do a fastboot recovery. Tried that with no difference. Recovery again took me to 'erasing' screen.

4. Some more research and then I decided to flash a factory image using ADB. I was (and still am) a complete newbie, so first I figured out what was ADB and how to get to it. After completing the installation, I found out Nexus 5 factory images. There was no mention of which ones to chose, so I just picked up the latest one.

5. Having learnt my lessons, I read the flashing instructions many times and also watched some videos 3-4 times. Once I was confident that no more information was going to be had, and the phone was unlocked (fastboot oem unlock) I went ahead with the flashing. I did it step by step - bootloader, radio and they recovery image. The last one failed.

6. I did some more research and found a method which told me to unzip the last image and flash the component images one by one. I did. Success! However, the phone did not reboot by itself as the guide said it would. So I tried to boot it manually.

7. I did not get the dead android with red exclamation mark. Instead, I got an alive android with gears whirring on its tummy and back. Pressing power + vol-up button told me that this was the 'formatting /data' screen. I am unable to get past this screen. I am supposed to get to a screen where I can wipe data and cache etc. But I cannot get to it.

8. I have tried to wait it out (16 hours) and tried flashing the images again. Ultimately, I end up here.

9. I am unable to find any answers on what to do if stuck on this screen. So this is the end? Is my phone bricked? Is there anything else I can try? Will trying TWRP way useful or is that just another way to same failure?

Google Nexus 5 :: How To Display Contacts Details Including Address

Apr 30, 2014

I've a rooted Nexus 5 with 4.4.2 and I can't find how to display a contacts details including there address. As a result, I can't just punch an address into Maps to quickly navigate there!

The dialler just gives me phone numbers, Hangouts (which I hate!) just wants to start a conversation with people!I dl'd Contacts+ and that does the job! but I can't use that as, for some reason, once installed it sets my notification volume to zero and I can't change it!!!

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Stock Nandroid Backup Fully Flashes But Won't Boot

Jan 18, 2016

Two days after owning this phone I had the dreaded bent metal issue near the volume button. I flashed pure nexus on it though and I'm trying to get it back to stock before I take it back into bestbuy to get a new one. My stock nandroid backup fully flashes but it won't boot. All I see is the google logo.

I know I can fb flash the stock, but that's so much more of a process. Plus, it doesn't make sense to me that it wouldn't work...

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Stuck In Boot Loop After Flashing TWRP Recovery

Nov 7, 2015

So I flashed the latest firmware, after being unlocked, then rent back to bootloader, flashed recovery, went to recovery and installed file. Then restarted...now stuck in boot loop. It booted before I went to flash recovery in the new firmware just fine.

Do you need to flash something else when you flash recovery?

it says device is corrupt when I restart, but I was under the impression that screen comes up when bootloader is unlocked, so not sure if it means anything...

i really think ive tried everything accept for relocking the bootloader but cant imaging that this could be the problem.

Google Nexus 5 :: BootLoop - No Recovery Mode

Dec 2, 2015

A colleague of mine (yes honestly it wasnt me) reported that his Nexus 5 was stuck with as he put it "the wee android man in the middle of the screen" Then, before he give the phone to me to look at he said that he had tried some things with images to get it to work but it didnt work. so truthfully i am not sure what he has done or not done but the phone is stuck as follows:

When you turn the phone on you have the android robot which looks like it is doing an update.

I have gone into bootloader where I have the option to Start, Recovery Mode, Restart Bootloader and Power Off. The lock state in the Fastboot mode shows unlocked.

No matter which option you take (Even Recovery) it just goes back to the android screen that looks like it is trying to update....i cant get to the android with the exclamation mark that would allow me to do a factory reset. At this stage of the game im not worried about any lost data etc.

Google Nexus 5 :: Keeps Rebooting - Even If In Recovery Trying To Reset

Sep 25, 2015

I have a problem with my Nexus. It started rebooting every 5 seconds, with different outcomes.

At first it was rebooting, then updating the apps, then when it reached the block screen, it reboots.

Tried to enter recovery and it reboots even in recovery.

I can't recover the data because the system is not up for that long to allow internal drive recognition. What should I do in your opinion?

I tried also to clear cache or enter safe mode, but it reboots anyway.. During the spinning logo, before, after. It's quite random.

Google Nexus 5 :: Stuck In Recovery Without OS And Can't Use USB Port

Sep 25, 2015

Two weeks ago, I decided to try another rom, as I often do. I booted into the recovery, formated everything, and got the rom ready on my computer.

However, when I connected the usb cable to the phone, nothing happened. Strange, it had no problems before. Tried another PC and a few other cables (the original one too). Nothing.

The phone only charges but isn't recognized by any computer (it doesn't even show up in the device manager and there is no sound). The drivers are ok, it worked before that.

I also tried an otg cable with the rom on a usb drive and it doesn't see that either.

I thought, "great", my usb port data pins must be dead so I ordered one. I'm so lucky that i got a DOA one. (this one isn't even charging the phone)

Any way to transfer a file/rom to the phone that has no OS (it boots fine in the recovery - twrp) without using a cable?

Google Nexus 5 :: Phone Won't Boot

Oct 28, 2015

updating my Nexus 5 to marshmellow has left it stuck at the boot animation. I can get into recovery and have flashed factory 5.1.1 and 4.4.4 images but all that changes is the device loops with older boot animations. Kwongger's NEXUS 5 Toolkit v2.2 completed successfully but didn't improve anything. Trying to flash Cyanogenmod I run into adb "unauthorised". The device had usb debugging enabled and the RSA key of the PC was accepted but after multiple factory resets it appears to be gone.

Google Nexus 5 :: Red Led - Doesn't Boot

Nov 17, 2015

I have a Nexus 5, all up-to-date and stuff. Now recently when I was driving somewhere it turned off. Since then i haven't been able to turn it on again.

Without charger it doesnt even go on, With the charger it gets to the google logo and then reboots over and over again.

Fastboot just the same thing. Shows the fastboot GUI and reboots. Only with charger in.

Is this a hardware or software problem? I could try something on linux but if it's a hardware problem i'll just stop to try to find a solution.

Google Nexus 5 :: Phone Won't Boot

Nov 16, 2013

My phone shut off unexpectedly today and now won't turn back on. When I try to power it on I see the Google logo for a couple seconds and then it'll just shut off again. I tried holding the volume up/down buttons to access the bootloader, but right after I get to the screen it just restarts itself again.

Connecting to power (AC or USB) causes it to constantly reboot over and over, it just shows the Google logo for a couple seconds and then restarts again.

Google Nexus 5 :: Why Can't Access Recovery Mode From Bootloader

Nov 28, 2014

just updated my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0 -- things looking smooth

went to root it

step 1) enable developer mode
step 2) restart into bootloader
step 3) fastboot flash recovery boot.img ( download.chainfire.eu/580/SuperSU/nexus5-hammerhead-lpx13d-kernel.zip )
step 4) reboot into recovery mode...

step 4 is where things get funky, when I tell bootloader to load recovery mode the phone restarts and then boots normally.I've been hacking at this for a few hours, and ended up loading the boot.img file more than once (see steps below) -- the original attempt worked and would access recovery mode the "load from zip" option wasn't available to I started tinkering, at one point I told it to restart from recovery mode -- it listed updating 7 files after which it had flashed itself back to factory defaults.I then flashed the boot loader a 2nd time it stopped accessing recovery mode

since then I've tried
- download Quick Boot app (crashes when trying to load recovery mode)
- flashed with fresh factory image
- numerous attempts to restart into bootloader
- voodoo chanting (not really but that's next)
